The Body-Snatching Immortal

Armed with a mystical manual of soul transference and an indestructible true spirit, Lin Jianshan embarks on an endless journey to ascend to immortality. Once burdened by naivety and repeatedly betrayed by the world, he has forged a profound understanding of eternal life through centuries of vicissitudes. Now devoid of sentiment and desire, he treads carefully, armed with caution and wielding time itself as his blade. Rather than seeking rapid leaps, Lin advances with absolute calculation. He takes disciples only to forge them into tools, makes talisman-crafting his trade, and conceals his edge while awaiting the opportune moment. By avoiding malevolent karma and refusing reckless struggles against either heaven or mortals, this meticulously rational seeker of the Dao uses a millennium as his stake, navigating the currents of cause and effect to forge a steady and enduring path to transcendence.
