Gou Zai Liang Jie as a Human Gu

Song Yan glanced at the three people who were hiding their presence in the distance, then waved his hand and set up a barrier around the two of them to prevent their conversation from being leaked.

"Don't worry, my support for you is merely a matter of taking advantage of the situation and acting in accordance with the plans of the immortal sect. You can think of it as the immortal sect plotting against you, and I am forming a karmic bond with you in the process. You can repay my kindness in teaching me in the future."

Lin Mo sneered: "Don't try to fool me. If it weren't for your deliberate arrangements, would I have replaced Xiao Ning and become a vessel for the karma of the previous dynasty's imperial enterprise?"

Song Yan did not deny it, and smiled in response: "Everything is due to fate. If you were not related to the Prince of Li, it would be impossible for you to bear this karma."

"Hmph!" Lin Mo let out a resentful snort.

Old silver coin, I don't believe you for a second!

"When Xiao Ning was impersonating the heir apparent, he was solely focused on seizing Liu Yingying's family fortune. I happened to meet Liu Yingying along the way and our paths crossed. If I hadn't become the heir apparent, how could I have protected her? Can you honestly say that you weren't involved in this?"

"This position of heir apparent is clearly something you want me to rectify, something you want me to impersonate again."

Song Yan admitted, "Alright, I admit it. I did manipulate some people's fate charts and secretly helped them. But Lin Mo, you didn't lose out either. From a lowly page with no spiritual roots, you jumped to become a prince of destiny. You really didn't lose out. On the contrary, I lost out because of you. I even sacrificed my wife and sister."

"Come on, I know about the [Life Stealing] spell too. This Song Yan is just an avatar you possessed. Would you care about the fate of an avatar?"

Upon hearing this, Song Yan looked at Lin Mo, who was filled with resentment, and retorted, "Judging from your tone, you want to fight me? Why bother? Killing Song Yan won't do you any good."

"Creak!"

Lin Mo gritted his teeth in anger.

Indeed, killing Song Yan was easy, but what good would it do?

It's just an avatar set up by the master.

Killing him would not cause the master any loss.

On the contrary, killing Song Yan would require too much effort, leaving him covered in wounds.

This deal is not worthwhile no matter how you look at it.

Lin Mo questioned, "Tell me, why are the immortal sects and the Buddhist cultivators trying to fish for the fortune of the mortal realm? What exactly are they trying to do?"

"Well, the time isn't right yet, so it's not convenient to tell you," Song Yan said vaguely.

You probably don't even know it yourself.

Lin Mo inwardly grumbled, then shouted, "Then tell me what you can say."

"Alright, alright, don't get angry, my good disciple, I'll tell you now."

Song Yan said slowly, "How should I put it? Simply put, the dynasty in our homeland needs to change. This is all part of the plans of the superiors, and you are the key piece they carefully selected and deemed qualified."

"In the future, you will overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty and become the supreme ruler of the world, ascending to the throne."

Lin Mo sneered: "Would the Prince of Li agree? Don't forget, I was his own replacement. Who would be willing to pass on their dynasty to an outsider?"

"A body double?" Song Yan's expression was strange, and he couldn't help but scoff, "Do you really think you're a body double?"

"From the moment you were born eighteen years ago, you were the Crown Prince of Li. Don't you ever consider whether the Prince of Li can truly be completely cold-blooded and ruthless?"

"Huh?" Lin Mo's expression froze. "What do you mean?"

Song Yan said, "What ambitions can a spoiled brat who is pampered and indulged in the royal palace have? Only by raising children with hardship can they develop good aspirations."

Lin Mo's expression froze: "You mean, from beginning to end, I was truly the Crown Prince, and I was switched with the real Crown Prince from childhood?"

Song Yan replied, "That's right. Back when the Prince of Li had not yet taken up his fief, he participated in the struggle for the throne. However, in the end, he glimpsed the secrets of heaven. It was also arranged by the disciples of the Three Immortals that he saw it. After he learned the truth, he chose to switch you with the son of the guard and then strive to take up his fief in Yunmengze. Everything developed according to the script they had written."

"Of course, the only variable is that you actually obtained a certain opportunity, a very magical opportunity, which allowed you to infiltrate Baiyujing. Even if you were poisoned to death, you could be reborn. Although this caused some trouble for the people of the immortal sect, each time you were reborn, although your destiny and heavenly secrets were obscured and you had a new identity, you still could not escape the pursuit of the Venerable. Taking advantage of the situation, the [Destiny Plate] was constantly operating in the dark, which actually helped the immortal sect to do things more smoothly."

Lin Mo was moved. The identity that the [Mysterious Heaven Treasure Mirror] had reopened each time was not chosen randomly, but was always used to push things along.

"It's a bit troublesome. The Maitreya Cult is causing trouble here. You don't know that, do you? You were poisoned by the Maitreya Cult that day. The reason the Maitreya Cult poisoned you was..."

Lin Mo interrupted in a deep voice, "Does the Maitreya Sect want to support Xiao Ning's ascension to the throne and bear the karmic consequences of the previous dynasty's imperial achievements at Yunxia Mountain?"

Song Yan nodded: "That's right. From the moment the fake prince was stabbed in the groin, the game officially began. The Maitreya Sect and the Immortal Sect have been making moves at the Prince's residence, all with the aim of finding out that the chosen one is a puppet they have arranged."

"The King of Li and the Immortal Sect reached an agreement, hoping that you would become the successor. However, the Maitreya Sect refused and kept trying to assassinate the Crown Prince. In the end, they poisoned you and made Xiao Ning take your place. But none of them expected that you would have another opportunity."

Lin Mo frowned as he listened.

It wasn't that she was shocked by her own background.

Instead, the immortal sects' plans in the mortal realm actually began with the struggle for the throne among the previous generation.

Lin Mo didn't understand: "If they want to change the dynasty, they can just change the emperor according to their wishes. Why make it so complicated?"

Song Yan chuckled twice: "[Hidden Dragon of the Dark Mountain Candle Flame Qi] If the Great Zhou could simply return to the order of heaven and earth by changing emperors, then there wouldn't be so much trouble."

As the lightning flashed, Lin Mo captured some key information.

"Did the existence of the Great Zhou Dynasty suppress some of the cultivation of the Three Powers, Yin and Yang, and Five Elements Qi?"

Song Yan nodded.

Lin Mo was puzzled: "I don't understand why Qi cultivation is involved with dynasties?"

Song Yan replied, "If you have the opportunity, go ask your Great Zhou ancestor about this."

"Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Lin Mo looked at Song Yan with a puzzled expression.

Song Yan nodded: "He is also a cultivator."

"Still alive?"

"The Immortal of Corpse Dissolution has a long lifespan, so he is naturally still alive."

Corpse-Dissolving Immortal?

Lin Mo frowned. Immortal Corpse Dissolution was not a good way out.

The Corpse-Dissolving Immortal is also known as the Earth Immortal.

The ancestral halls in homes, the temples... these are all statues of the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal.

The so-called "Corpse-Dissolving Immortal" is simply the dissolution of the physical body, allowing one's soul to merge into the Yin Spirit and integrate into the Qi Dao, thus becoming one with the mysterious Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Although this can prolong life, without a physical body to cultivate, there is no hope of entering the Dao through Qi cultivation.

"Any more questions? If not, let's go back to the city. I don't know why, but ever since we left Thunder Dragon City, I've felt uneasy, like something's wrong."

Song Yan subconsciously covered his chest.

Lin Mo continued to ask, "Besides cultivating the Qi of the Three Powers, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements, are there other Qi, cultivation methods, or other paths in this world?"

Song Yan's expression froze, and she looked at him in surprise: "Why would you ask that?"

Lin Mo astutely grasped the key information: "You didn't answer whether I had it or not, but instead asked me, which means I do have it."

"You created the spells 'Life Stealing' and 'Time Cutting,' the latter being a spell to manipulate timing. Yin and Yang and the Five Elements cannot construct time. You are not cultivating the Three Powers and Five Elements; what kind of Qi are you cultivating?"

Song Yan shook his head and denied it, saying, "You're wrong. The Qi I cultivate is still within the Three Powers, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements."

"What kind of Qi is that? Tell me!" Lin Mo pressed on.

Song Yan avoided the topic and walked straight toward the city gate.

Lin Mo caught up with him: "Tell me, are there other cultivation methods? I learned some information from the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Ten thousand years ago, besides the Qi Refining Path, there was also the Qi Absorption Path. How does one cultivate the Qi Absorption Path?"

"I really don't know. My magic wasn't created by myself; I copied it from a stone tablet in an ancient ruin... Wait, wait a minute, haven't we just seen this stone?"

Song Yan pointed to the stones by the roadside and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Mo was completely bewildered by his abrupt question: "What?"

Song Yan flicked his finger, and a burst of energy marked the stone before continuing forward.

However, not long after, the stone reappeared in their sight, with the markings still fresh.

Lin Mo's pupils suddenly contracted: "Someone is causing this!"

Song Yan frowned, then formed a hand seal: "Appear!"

His magical power surged, transforming into countless invisible arrows that swept outwards.

clang!

clang!

clang!

The next moment, the heavens and earth erupted with a sound like the tolling of bells.

Lin Mo could see clearly that an invisible barrier had appeared in the surrounding space.

The barrier was square, and it was accompanied by countless hideous human faces.

"【Rakshasa Demon-Forging Cauldron】!"

Lin Mo suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

On that day at Yunxia Mountain, I forgot about this precious cauldron.

"Benefactor Song, Benefactor Lin, it's been a long time."

next moment.

A giant golden hand emerged from the ground.

This hand is enormous, so large that the five fingers are as majestic as mountains, and the lines on the palm resemble the flow of mountains and rivers.

A giant, golden hand emerged from the ground, scooping up the two people trapped inside the cauldron, just like scooping fish fry from a river.

"Amitabha!"

As the Buddhist chant began, Lin Mo and Song Yan looked up and saw a huge face.

His face was very fair, and he was none other than the Chakravartin who had escaped earlier.

Upon meeting the Wheel-Turning Dharma King, Song Yan couldn't help but sigh, "You spend your days hunting geese, only to have your eyes pecked by them. Wheel-Turning Dharma King, you are a ruthless man, hiding your true nature better than anyone else."
