Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 462 One Must Go Alone
Lin Jiang rose back up from the bottom of the deep well.

Little Ginseng peeked its head out from Lin Jiang's sleeve and asked him in confusion:
"Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang, what did you see down there?"

"It's all so dark, I can't see anything clearly."

Lin Jiang patted the little ginseng's head.

Not only the memory from just now, but also that fleeting thought, all appeared spontaneously in Lin Jiang's mind.

This resulted in the small ginseng plant not actually showing anything.

She naturally had no idea what Lin Jiang had just seen.

Little Ginseng scratched his head with his little hands, feeling that Lin Jiang seemed to be hiding something from him:

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

You lie to me day and night.

"Then you've misunderstood me."

"As long as you're not lying to me."

Little Ginseng muttered something and hid inside Lin Jiang's sleeve.

Lin Jiang smiled, but in his heart he apologized to the little ginseng.

He did indeed cheat the young ginseng.

That fleeting thought just now led me to tell Lin Jiang the final solution.

That is, this single thought can fill the void.

Thoughts that reside deep within the entire physical body are far too small to fundamentally shake that immense void.

This was, after all, the divine thought of the Daoist of Eternal Departure.

If this wisp of thought could enter the void, then the Eternal Departure Daoist would immediately manipulate the remaining Eternal Departure thoughts within the void.

Over such a long period of time, it is unrealistic to completely reclaim one's soul.

but,
The Taoist Master Yongli can make emptiness disappear on its own.

It's like exchanging suicide for the survival of the entire world.

After hearing this method, Lin Jiang couldn't help but ask the other party:

"Wouldn't you die in that case?"

“I’m already dead.” Yongli’s thoughts chuckled lightly. “My life ended long ago, when my friends died. Now all that’s left here is a broken body. Rather than let that bastard outside eliminate the only thing that inherits my flesh and blood, I might as well take care of it myself and put an end to all of this.”

Yongli, however, was quite at ease about it.

However, his method still has a drawback.

Relying solely on this one thought, he certainly wouldn't be able to cross the boundary sea to reach the void.

Moreover, the void was certainly not entirely unprepared. If it discovered a tiny thought attempting to sneak into it, it would naturally retaliate and completely eliminate the thought before it could merge into the void.

so,

He needs someone to take him there.

And at present, Lin Jiang seems to be the most suitable person to do this.

Tianmian has completely merged into Lin Jiang's flesh and blood, which means that in this world, he is the only one who can hold out for a period of time in front of that void.

Only he could possibly throw this thought into the void.

Doing so would basically mean certain death.

First of all, let's not even mention the contamination that comes from the soul emanating from the void when we get close to it. Even if everything goes smoothly and the void begins to disintegrate, Lin Jiang, who is so close to the void, will inevitably suffer a very serious impact.

Even with his current body, he probably couldn't withstand it.

Not to mention that after going to such a far place, it was impossible to bring the coffin back to him.

It's almost equivalent to suicide.

After much deliberation, Lin Jiang decided to give it a try.

Escaping far away is indeed an option, but what lies before him now is a method that can completely eliminate the danger.

If possible, Lin Jiang still intends to give it a try.

However, there are still some things to do before that.

Back in the city, Lin Jiang could see the scholars still excitedly studying their surroundings. In such a huge city-state, these people could probably spend decades studying it without getting bored.

Zhao Liulang was discussing with Wen Zu from a distance how to move the people from Daxing over in a convenient, quick, and safe manner.

Lin Jiang found a place that resembled a bench and sat down.

He entered the inner palace.

As soon as he entered, Yu Chang jogged over to Lin Jiang's side, clearly wanting to discuss something with him.

Restarting the cloud migration plan still requires some preparation, and he needs Lin Jiang's help.

But before he could speak, Lin Jiang waved his hand and said:
"Go and call all the little golden men and the stags over here."

Yu Chang was completely bewildered, not knowing what Lin Jiang was up to.

But he still obediently listened to what the other person said and jogged away from there.

A short while later, a large group of little golden figures lined up neatly in front of Lin Jiang. Behind them, the changgui, led by Liu Fangyue, also gathered together. Beside the changgui were the women that Lin Jiang had taken from Madam Mi Yin earlier.

When Lin Jiang looked over, he saw that each of them had a small golden figure inside their bodies that was being manipulated.

Looking around and seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin Jiang nodded.

Lin Jiang then looked at Yu Chang:
“Yu Chang”.

Yu Changzhao jumped at a girl next to him, and the girl's eyes immediately became lively.

He immediately patted his chest:
"I'm here!"

"Can you directly enter this city and then manipulate them?"

"Ok?"

Yu Chang didn't understand why Lin Jiang asked that question, but he eventually nodded:
"can."

"Well."

Lin Jiangdao:
“I might be leaving for a while. You take them all and make sure they all settle down in this city. Don’t leave any of them behind.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Chang was first taken aback, then turned pale with shock:

"Boss! What are you doing?!"

"I plan to deal with that spirit outside, but I'm not entirely confident I can succeed..."

"Then we'll go with our boss!"

Yu Chang immediately spoke, and the little golden figures around him all jumped up.

Seeing their reaction, Lin Jiang waved his hand slightly, calming them down.
“It’s hard to say whether I’ll be able to come back from this trip. If I don’t come back, the Cloud Shift Project will definitely have to be launched. In addition, this city will definitely need someone to take care of it. You must stay here so that you can have a higher chance of survival.”

"But……"

Yu Chang wanted to say something more, but Lin Jiang waved his hand, interrupting him once again:
“Yu Chang, you should know better than me what would be a more reasonable approach.”

"But I can't accept it..."

“It’s not like I’m definitely not coming back. I’m just doing this as a precaution.” Lin Jiang sighed, “If you all really die with me, then only the one inside Miss Shen’s body will remain of the little golden men. That’s not good.”

Many of my words were stuck in my throat, but I eventually swallowed them all down.

It is indeed the case.

Lin Jiang is right.

"Alright, let's get started now without further ado."

Lin Jiang didn't give these little golden figures any time to react. He directly opened a door in his interior palace, connecting it to the entire city.

Then, he practically drove the little golden statuettes away, pushing them one by one through the door.

The little golden figures clearly didn't want to go in, but they couldn't resist Lin Jiang's strength. This was also his inner vision area, so if Lin Jiang really didn't want to stay, none of the little golden figures could stay.

One by one, Lin Jiang eventually gave away all the little golden statuettes. Even Yu Chang, the last one, couldn't resist Lin Jiang and was pushed out as well.

After delivering the little golden figures, Lin Jiang glanced at the few accomplices behind him.

"You guys should come along too, and help them out."

Most of the ghosts were actually terrified of Lin Jiang, so they all ran away in one go. Only Liu Fangyue remained with Lin Jiang, seemingly with no intention of making a move.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Lin Jiang raised an eyebrow.

“Master, in my previous life I cultivated the art of living towards death. Now that I have followed you for so long, I have witnessed many wonderful things. To live towards death alongside you is also a wonderful thing for me. After much thought, I feel that I should stay.”

Are you sure?

"I had already thought it through."

Lin Jiang thought for a moment:
"Then I think you should go somewhere else and try to find a way to live in the face of death."

Immediately afterward, before Liu Fangyue could react, Lin Jiang grabbed her waist with his left hand and lifted her by the collar with his right, then swiftly threw her through the door.

After doing all this, Lin Jiang slammed the door shut.

He clapped his hands.

Take a look back at the inner palace.

Because Tianmian had completely merged with its physical body, the distant earth seemed to be covered with a layer of snow.

A vast expanse of white.

Lin Jiang gently flipped something from his robes, and a thought appeared in his palm.

"Ready?"

"All done."

At this moment, Lin Jiang felt an unusual tranquility within him, a peace he hadn't experienced in a long time.

"Do you have any way to get to the other side of the cave? It sounds like it's very far away?"

"It is indeed quite far. But in order to return to the physical body, the Void specially left a method inside the divine city."

Lin Jiang chuckled:
"If the method is used in reverse, it should be able to let me pass immediately."

The contingency plan that Kong Dong left behind back then now seems to have become a tool that Lin Jiang can use in reverse.
