Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 461 The devil enters the barrier

Lin Jiang stared at the memory that originated from Yongli's body and found that the fragments in the memory were almost completely different from what Yongli had said at the time.

According to Yongli, the moment they clashed, the shadowy figure bought off all their possessions and lives.

But now it seems that the situation is not like that.

Judging from the current situation, the shadowy figure seems to be more seriously injured.

Yongli wiped away the golden crystals emanating from the damaged areas of his body with his hand, then covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

"you lose."

The fisherman floated in the black mist, neither speaking nor moving, just staying there quietly.

"Stop pretending to be dead. Your cultivation is far too lacking. Even if you use that treasure to ambush us, you still can't defeat me."

Yongli slowly walked towards the dark figure, and just as he got close to the figure, the other party suddenly sprang up and slammed a blow at Yongli.

Yongli, however, seemed to have been prepared, and simply stretched out his hand.

Several golden lines emerged from Yongli's palm, and lines surged outward from these lines, quickly converging into a rope-like shape, which directly trapped the dark figure.

At this moment, Lin Jiang was also finally able to see the face of the shadowy figure through the darkness.

He was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat disheveled, with two rather deep nasolabial folds on his face. His eyes were filled with resentment and venom as he stared intently at Yongli.

"I suggest you let me go as soon as possible. The money that bought the lives of these fellow Daoists is more than just one coin from my caravan. If you kill me here, my caravan will hunt you down forever until you are killed!"

Despite the other party's threat, Yongli's eyes remained completely unchanged.

He simply looked down at the other person:

"If you rely solely on external things, you will never be able to make any further progress in your spiritual cultivation. I suppose your so-called caravan is nothing but a castle in the air."

Having said that, Yongli was too lazy to say anything more to the man in front of her.

He gently waved his hand, and wisps of black smoke began to emanate from the shadowy figure.

The entire shadowy figure let out a heart-wrenching scream as its body rapidly dissipated into the darkness of the Boundary Sea, eventually vanishing completely.

After resolving everything, Yongli visibly let out a long sigh of relief.

Golden fragments of light flowed from the ravaged wounds on his body. If they were not treated in time, he would probably vanish into nothingness soon.

But just as he turned to leave...

Lin Jiang also clearly saw that

A small wisp of black energy actually floated out from the dead shadow.

It then directly burrowed into Yongli's physical body.

When Lin Jiang saw this, he had a rough idea of ​​what Yongli would do next.

As Lin Jiang's thoughts stirred, his vision swiftly followed the black mist into Yong Li's body.

After his vision entered the body, Lin Jiang felt as if thick fog was floating past his eyes.

The next moment, his vision followed the black aura into his inner world.

At this moment, it was dark in the inner world, and everything around looked obviously chaotic. It seemed that there had just been an earthquake, with many mountains collapsing and houses collapsing.

Amidst this chaos, Lin Jiang spotted the person in charge of this world that Yongli had mentioned before.

An old Taoist priest with a dignified air about him.

The old Taoist priest waved his arm, beckoning to the surrounding Taoists:

"The southeast is severely affected by the disaster. You need to take people there quickly!"

“Go to the Taoist temple in the east and bring some items; they will come in handy.”

"We don't know what trouble the Great Immortal has encountered outside. We must protect this land and not let the Great Immortal worry."

As things stand, the old Taoist priest's words and actions are perfectly normal, and he has no intention of rebelling whatsoever. Lin Jiang didn't even see the towers that extract the cultivation of eternal life.

However, at that very moment, he saw a wisp of black energy drifting down from the sky.

After circling once in the air, it went straight into the old Taoist priest's ear.

The old Taoist priest instinctively reached out and covered his ears. He clearly felt that something was wrong with his body, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

However, immediately, a layer of darkness appeared deep in the depths of his eyes.

A moment later, as the old Taoist priest looked around at the surrounding mountains and land again, a cold smile appeared on his face.

……

Lin Jiang suddenly opened his eyes.

He reappeared in this pitch-black space.

Looking around, the light sphere that had been floating in the air had completely disappeared, and everything around had returned to darkness.

Lin Jiang stared at the darkness for a long time without saying a word.

He finally understood.

The "eternal separation" outside is probably not a true eternity at all.

In that great battle, Eternal was ultimately the more skilled, and Shadow failed to defeat Eternal using coins.

However, Yongli was unable to completely kill the other party.

As a result, the other party took advantage of the situation and entered Yongli's body.

Over the years, the shadowy figure transformed into demonic energy, luring the old Taoist priest, who was in the world of inner vision, into a state of obstruction.

Lin Jiang couldn't say for sure how many of the souls outside were eternally departed and how many were that shadowy figure.

However, Lin Jiang also clearly noticed a problem.

Even if he knew the truth, it wouldn't be enough to resolve the enormous void. At most, it would only make him aware of the malice contained within it.

Ultimately, is the only option to activate the cloud migration plan and accelerate the coffin's escape from this area?
Lin Jiang pressed his hand against his forehead and gently rubbed it a couple of times.

Just as he was about to return directly to the ground, suddenly...

A very faint voice sounded beside Lin Jiang's ear:
"you……"

Lin Jiang's spirits were lifted.

He had heard that voice before.

It's the sound of eternal departure!

However, Yongli's voice, which was full of energy before, was now weak and feeble.

Moreover, it sounded very vague, as if it were a great distance away from Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang focused his mind and carefully tried to find the source of the sound:

"Is it the Daoist of Eternal Departure from the Void Realm?"

After he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time.

Lin Jiang frowned.

He was certain he hadn't misheard; someone must have called him.

But now the sound has stopped?
As Lin Jiang was pondering what was going on, he suddenly felt as if a new thought had emerged in his mind.

It was a very, very faint thought. Lin Jiang even felt that if he got any closer to this thought, the entire thought would vanish instantly, leaving not a trace.

He cautiously touched that thought with his divine sense, and Yongli's voice rang in his ears once more:

"You are... someone who has reached the Inner Vision Transformation Realm?"

Upon hearing the other party's voice, Lin Jiang immediately confirmed his judgment.

As expected, this Yongli doesn't recognize him!
The soul on the outside and the body on the inside are completely two different people!

The desire of that external soul to return to this body was far from the pleasant sentiment it expressed.

Lin Jiang, keeping his thoughts to himself, said:
"Yes and no."

"...I don't quite understand."

"Many years have passed since your physical body dissipated. The world you saw within your heart has long since fallen apart, but the coffin that held you has given birth to a new world, and we are the people in it."

Upon hearing Lin Jiang's explanation, even Yi Sixiang clearly fell silent.

He pondered for a long time before saying:

Could you explain it to me in detail?

“That’s possible.” Lin Jiang hesitated for a moment, “But I need to ask first, are you Daoist Yongli?”

"...I did have a Daoist name once called Void Eternal Departure, but I used it during my lifetime. Now that I am dead, the Daoist name should naturally be scattered with the wind."

"If I told you that many living beings now reside in your physical body, what would you think?"

"This matter is no problem for me. I cultivated the inner vision of small worlds in order to create a world within myself to provide for the lives of countless beings. Now that I have passed away, my remaining physical body can still provide for a region. I think this is very good."

There was a hint of doubt in Yongli's voice:

Why are you asking me this?

"Because there is another eternal departure who plans to destroy this world."

Lin Jiang clearly saw that this thought flicker.

"what happened!?"

When he finally spoke, his thoughts were clearly racing, and his tone was filled with surprise.

Lin Jiang briefly recounted the events outside the empty space.

"This……"

Yongli's words were clearly stuck in his throat for a long time:
"When I fought that person, I found that he had already used the body separation technique to invade my body. By the time I realized this, it was too late. He had already successfully taken over most of my body. I was unwilling to hand over my body to him, so I used my Taoist magic to squeeze out the remaining three souls and seven spirits along with him. I never expected that he would actually plan to come back now."

After a pause, Yongli sighed softly:
"Could you tell me about the situation outside first?"

"can."

Lin Jiang simply sat down on the ground and began to talk to this sliver of thought about what was happening outside.

He spoke in chronological order, telling the other person everything he knew in one go.

He spoke of how the celestial beings discovered the coffin and came to this place; he spoke of how the celestial beings were attacked by the spirits outside and were forced to flee with the coffin; he spoke of how the celestial beings perished and the divine kingdom was born; he spoke of how the divine kingdom declined and the world was divided into its present state.

That single thought listened quietly the whole time, without uttering a single word.

Only when Lin Jiang finished speaking did this thought slowly let out a sigh:
"What a long time it has been."

"Does the Taoist priest have a way to deal with the empty souls outside?"

"Most of my thoughts are actually in that empty space outside. The single thought I have left behind is not enough to fight against the complete soul."

Lin Jiang rubbed his head, feeling a bit of a headache.

But just then, Yongli suddenly spoke again:

"But I do have a way."

"what?"

"Let it collapse from within."
