Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 460 Communicating with the Dead

Under Yu Chang's instructions, Lin Jiang quickly found an entrance on the towering wall.

The sea next to the entrance seemed to have been put on hold, transforming from towering waves into a calm sea.

But the sky remained black.

Looking up, all you could see were massive dark clouds rolling around, like a black ocean inverted in mid-air, its waves rising and falling with the wind.

Lin Jiang formed a hand seal, allowing his Qi to spread outwards.

The Qi shield protected everyone and kept the continuous rain out.

Below the entrance to the red wall was a huge extended platform, on which many integrated buildings were built, which appeared to be responsible for controlling the situation of the nearby ocean.

As soon as they arrived at the platform, the scholars brought by Zhao Liulang began to shout and make a fuss.

Some of them began to circle around the platform, looking at the uniquely shaped buildings, while others simply ran to the red wall and carefully used their own methods to extend their Qi to touch the wall.

Lin Jiang then called out to them, wanting them to gather around first.

Unfortunately, once they got into the zone, these scholars developed a stubborn streak.

Having no other choice, Lin Jiang had to change his words:

"Behind this wall lies the city-state of the Celestials. Only after you have thoroughly studied the situation inside should you venture out to explore the outside."

This immediately attracted all the scholars present, without exception.

Following Yu Chang's instructions, they arrived at a rock that was irregularly shaped at the bottom but unusually flat at the top.

Lin Jiang had already seen this on the island. This thing was the Celestial's "elevator," capable of quickly and massively transporting people or goods up and down.

As the little golden figures entered the rock, it began to rise rapidly after a slight tremor.

For Lin Jiang, this feeling was not like the elevator he used to ride in his previous life, but rather like putting a foam board in deep water, squeezing it for a while, and then letting go, allowing it to be pushed up by the pressure of the water.

Of course, it's not that fast, but if an ordinary person were on it, they would probably find its operation a bit wild.

After a short wait, we finally arrived at the entrance above the red wall. The main gate was pitch black, with carvings on both sides resembling flowing water, tinged with gold, making it quite beautiful.

The image has a circle in the center, which is divided into two semicircles, so the image is clearly reversed.

It even caved in halfway inwards.

Yu Chang asked Lin Jiang to touch the door. The moment Lin Jiang's palm touched the door, Yu Chang's little golden figure also gently touched forward.

After a loud rumble, the two semicircles in the center of the gate began to spin rapidly.

The circle rotates three times, and the recessed part is level with the gate, so the inverted image fits perfectly onto the original pattern.

The main gate splits open from the center to both sides, and everyone looks into it.

They saw a city withering away in this deathly silence.

Because there wasn't much light here, the people could only see the entrance by the little light left in the fine rain. The city beyond was just a silhouette in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Wow...it's so big!"

The little ginseng peeked its head out from its sleeve, opened its mouth wide, and exclaimed in amazement.

Even if you can't see the details clearly, you can still tell how vast this place is just by looking at the outline.

A tiny, golden figure crawled out from beside Lin Jiang. He stood with his hands on his hips, looking at the city in front of him. Unfortunately, because he was so small, even the little ginseng in his sleeve didn't notice him.

The little golden statue didn't care.

He clapped his hands.

The entire city seemed to have received a command.

They are gradually being awakened.

First came the points of light on the dome, then the brilliance of the city below, and finally the lights along the city streets.

The city, which had been sleeping within the walls, finally welcomed new guests and revealed its true form once again.

Unfortunately, amidst that bustling scene, there was an utter silence.

All that remained was a deathly silence.

……

“At that time, our cloud migration project was very large, and most of the coffin lids were almost hollowed out. Fortunately, the coffin structure was quite sturdy, and even though a large part of the inside had been removed, there was no sign of collapse.”

Yu Chang's voice rang in Lin Jiang's ear, introducing the city to him.

The architectural style of the entire city was exactly the same as that Lin Jiang had seen in the fairy mountain. Most of them were very similar to the palaces and towers that Lin Jiang was familiar with. Most of them were wooden structures, and occasionally some tall buildings with flying eaves could be seen.

Similarly, Lin Jiang also saw several rivers suspended in mid-air in the city, with several rather large boats on them, the purpose of which was unknown.

I often used Lin Jiang's perspective to see the outside world, and I naturally knew what Lin Jiang was looking at, so I explained to him:

"The coffin is very large, so it's impossible for us to build only one city-state. In order to facilitate transportation between the city-states, we built this thing by taking advantage of the ocean currents. As long as you board this ship, you can travel along this river to different city-states."

Lin Jiang's expression also became slightly strange:
"How big of a city did you build back then?"

Yu Changhua, who had transformed into a golden statue, straightened his chest and puffed out his chest:

"It's no exaggeration to say that there's no problem fitting everyone in Daxing right now, and there's even room for one or two cities to spare."

The Celestials were really something else back then.

"So you sent me here and told me there was a way to resolve the soul issue of immortals? Could it be that you want me to restart the Cloud Shifting Project?"

"Exactly." Yu Chang sighed softly.
"Now that I think about it, my plan was too unfounded and just wishful thinking. Li Jinyue's plan was also exposed by the immortals long ago and came to nothing. Only Yi Yun's plan was the most reliable."

"First, this city was created, and then an altar was built that could draw upon the surrounding boundary seas and the ocean magic of this place. If it weren't for our destruction and the forced shutdown of this place, we could have simply maintained the status quo of this city and the coffin would have continued along the predetermined route."

"Although this cannot completely eliminate the future problems, it can bring a long period of life to the person in the coffin."

Lin Jiang nodded.

If he fails to obtain the information about the body inside the coffin, then moving the cloud is indeed the best option.

Upon seeing this place, the scholars around Lin Jiang were so excited that they shouted and yelled. They quickly descended into the city from above using the equipment originally provided by the celestial beings and began to explore and investigate.

Even when King Wenzu looked at this entire city-state, his eyes almost gleamed with light.

Lin Jiang ignored them; he had his own things to do.

Following the main road, Lin Jiang soared into the sky and flew straight ahead.

Before long, he saw a magnificent mansion located in the very center of the city.

After entering the house, Lin Jiang found another stone elevator under the guidance of others.

This was where the celestial beings studied Taoism. If you go down this stone, you will reach the deepest part of the coffin.

There was nothing there, only silent darkness.

The celestial beings on the Yiyun side studied that place for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. As a result, an anomaly occurred there, and they naturally lost the opportunity to continue their in-depth research.

The stone was activated, and the entire stone began to descend rapidly.

The entrance in the sky gradually turned into a small point of light, until when Lin Jiang looked up, he saw that it was as if a star was atop a dark dome.

The descent was clearly going to take a long time. Lin Jiang could feel the little ginseng peeking out of his sleeve curiously, but it was obviously frightened and shrank back into his sleeve.

at last,

After a long wait, the boulder came to a steady stop.

Lin Jianghuan looked around.

As I often say.

It was pitch black, nothing.

Only the spot where he stood received a beam of light, illuminating him.

Lin Jiang adjusted his breathing and closed his eyes.

He began to use the methods taught to him by the Imperial Preceptor.

During the first breath, the Dharma Gate merely wandered around Lin Jiang without any reaction.

Between the second breaths,
Lin Jiang's teachings began to expand outwards, starting from him and spreading outwards like ripples from a stone thrown into a lake.

Between the third breaths,
Lin Jiang...

I sensed something.

He felt a sense of familiarity, yet also a sense of strangeness.

That seems to be...

Forever gone!

Lin Jiang carefully probed into the depths of that consciousness, only to discover that the consciousness seemed to have died long ago, leaving only large sections of memories.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Lin Jiang noticed a change in the darkness surrounding him.

Clusters of light floated up from within, shimmering and dancing like fireflies.

These are all memories that will never be relived.

He reached out and gently touched one of the clumps.

The next moment, Lin Jiang felt a sudden dizziness.

When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that he had already appeared in the Boundary Sea.

Looking around, Lin Jiang found that this place was completely different from his impression of the Boundary River. Most of the surrounding stars were incomplete, as if they had been swept away by some tyrannical force.

Lin Jiang quickly found the culprit behind the remnant image of the Boundary Sea.

Two people were staring at each other in the distance. One of them was in a sorry state, with many cracks around his body, from which a faint golden light flowed out.

The other person was half-dead, his life clearly about to dissipate like a candle flickering in the wind.

Several corpses were floating around them, disintegrating outwards and transforming into symbols within the Boundary Sea.

This was clearly the battlefield where the Black-Cloaked Fishermen and Yongli clashed.

but……

The one dying was not Yongli, but the fisherman in the black raincoat.

Although Yongli was in poor condition, he ultimately survived.

He seems to be the victor in this battle of wits.

This?
Lin Jiang did not expect that the initial description of "eternal separation of the soul" would differ from the memories of the physical body.
