How did I, a fake bodyguard, become a terrestrial immortal?

The wooden plaque felt cool to the touch.

The front depicts a white mask without facial features, while the back is covered with intricate patterns, resembling a miniature array.

Lu Yang couldn't understand the formation; he just felt that this thing didn't seem like anything good.

"Did that woman say anything else?"

Muramasa thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"no."

Lu Yang frowned slightly.

The other party passed through Huai'an Village two days in advance, yet they were able to predict that I would catch up.

This means that from the moment Han Lincheng arrived, his every move had been under the control of the other party.

If he couldn't figure it out, he stopped thinking about it. Just as Lu Yang was about to put the wooden plaque away, a burning sensation suddenly came from his palm.

The patterns on the back of the wooden plaque lit up simultaneously.

He tried to let go, but found that the wooden sign seemed to be attached to his palm and he couldn't shake it off at all.

Strands of black energy spread upwards along his arm, leaving behind numerous twisted lines on his skin.

"Young Master Lu!" Bai Yixin's expression changed.

At the same time, the lock mark on Zhao Mingtang's wrist also lit up.

The wisp of Xuanwu energy within her body was drawn towards Lu Yang uncontrollably.

The villagers who had just woken up all groaned at the same time, black lines appeared between their brows, and their shadows, which had just returned to normal, began to twist again.

Below the ruins of the ancestral hall, dark red array patterns also lit up.

The black-robed woman's methods of staying in Huai'an Village were clearly not limited to the Dream Gu.

The entire village is a massive formation!

The forty-nine villagers are like forty-nine living battle pillars.

The Dream Gu will put them into a deep sleep, then gradually erode their souls through dreams. Once the formation is fully formed, the life fire of the forty-nine people will converge into the ancestral hall's underground, providing sufficient power for the one who possesses their body.

As for that underground stone chamber, it is the core of the entire formation.

The Dragon-Locking Mantra on the stone wall was not some ancient tradition discovered by accident.

That was bait that the woman in the black robe had deliberately left for Lu Yang.

As long as Lu Yang cultivates the Dragon Locking Technique, the locking seal will penetrate deep into his meridians and suppress the Xuanwu Mountain Suppressing Body.

Once the body-seizing formation is activated, his soul will be temporarily suppressed, and the Xuanwu Zhenyue Seal hidden deep within his life palace will be exposed.

The woman in the black robe had planned everything meticulously.

She used the Life-Transforming Gu to steal Fang Xuan's memories and led Lu Yang and his group south.

He then deliberately made the black carriage stop in Huai'an Village, leaving Fang Xuan's trace.

Given the Lu family's character, Lu Yang would not stand idly by if he discovered that villagers had been murdered.

Everything was proceeding according to her plan.

The only regret is that Lu Yang, who transmigrated here, knows nothing about martial arts.

She hadn't anticipated that Zhao Mingtang would master the Dragon-Locking Technique.

The lock originally intended to bind Lu Yang's vital energy and blood, by a twist of fate, became a bridge connecting the two's lives.

When the two energies merged, the Xuanwu power that dissipated flowed into the array eye along the earth's veins, prematurely suppressing the Dream Gu that had not yet broken out of its cocoon.

......

Outside the ferry crossing, there is a stone chamber built inside the mountain.

The woman in black robes sat cross-legged in front of Fang Xuan.

She formed a hand seal with her hands, and in front of her was a black destiny chart made of the same material as the plaque in Lu Yang's hand.

In the center of the horoscope, Lu Yang's frozen figure was reflected.

"Finally, I've run into him."

A soft laugh came from beneath the white mask.

She didn't care whether the soul-snatching formation in Huai'an Village was intact.

As long as the soul-guiding tablet in Lu Yang's hand can connect with Lu Yang, she will have the opportunity to personally enter Lu Yang's life palace.

As for the women outside the physical body, they were completely unable to stop the battle at the soul level.

The woman in the black robe closed her eyes.

A phantom figure separated from her body and entered Lu Yang's consciousness along the connection established by the Soul Guiding Tablet.

Lu Yang's palace of destiny is surrounded by towering buildings.

The woman in the black robe stood there, looking utterly insignificant!

She looked up and saw that the surface of the building, which was dozens of meters high, was inlaid with large pieces of glazed tiles, and a long steel bridge spanned the river in the distance.

There were no array patterns, no talismans, and no trace of true energy.

But those iron boxes can speed along the roads, and the enormous thing overhead can fly into the sky without the aid of magical energy.

This is clearly not an illusion.

Rather, it was the scene deepest in Lu Yang's memory.

A person's destiny palace is influenced by their spirit and memories.

Even if someone is reborn through possession, traces of their original body should still remain deep within their life palace.

But everything before them did not belong to the Great Li.

"Lu Yang has a big problem..."

The woman in the black robe reached out and touched a car next to her, but her hand passed right through the car body.

Everything around me is just a projection left by memories.

She did not forget the purpose of her trip.

As long as she finds the Xuanwu Zhenyue Seal in Lu Yang's Life Palace, she can use the Soul Guiding Tablet to forcibly extract that item.

The woman in the black robe closed her eyes.

Streaks of black energy spread outward from her, passing through tall buildings and streets.

A moment later, she suddenly raised her head.

Deep within this unfamiliar city lies an atmosphere of profound weight.

found it!

The woman in the black robe followed the aura and walked forward.

The surrounding high-rise buildings gradually became illusory, and the originally smooth roads began to collapse.

Below the city, an endless expanse of dark sea is revealed.

A colossal phantom of Xuanwu slumbers in the seawater.

Its back is like a mountain, and its head is coiled like a snake's.

The aura that was unintentionally released made the black-robed woman's soul feel much heavier.

Between the brows of the Xuanwu phantom hangs a dark yellow ancient seal.

The ancient seal was no bigger than the palm of a hand, but it was surrounded by obscure patterns.

Greed gleamed in the eyes of the woman in the black robe.

"The Black Tortoise Seal that Suppresses Mountains..."

"Lu Chenzhou, you really did leave it to your son."

She reached out and grabbed the ancient seal.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the ancient seal, the entire city suddenly froze.

The vehicles on the road came to a stop.

The airplanes in the sky were also frozen in mid-air.

The streetlights at the intersection all turned red at the same time.

Before the woman in the black robe could react, the glass curtain walls on both sides of the street lit up simultaneously.

A series of unfamiliar images began to flash by.

Men and women dressed in strange costumes walk between tall buildings, and people thousands of miles apart can communicate with each other through objects the size of a palm.

Giant ships made of steel span the ocean.

A flying machine hundreds of feet long plunged into the clouds.

Some people sit high in the sky looking down at the earth, while others leave the world beneath their feet and stand on a star riddled with craters.

The woman in the black robe stopped in her tracks.

She originally thought these were just illusions in Lu Yang's memories.

Until the first memory entered her soul.

It happened without warning and was unstoppable.

In that instant, she felt as if she had become Lu Yang, sitting in a bright classroom.

Countless unfamiliar words and pieces of knowledge were written on the blackboard.

Why does the world have four seasons?

Thunder is not the wrath of the gods.

The stars are not lamps of destiny hanging in the sky.

The ground beneath their feet was not square, but a giant sphere floating in endless darkness.

Then, the classroom disappeared.

She was standing on the crowded street again.

Countless people passed by her, each with their own name, experiences, and desires.

These people have no cultivation and no true qi in their bodies.

But they built towering buildings that were taller than palaces, made steel fly into the sky, and even allowed people thousands of miles apart to see each other in an instant.

The woman in the black robe seemed dazed.

This is not reading memories!

Lu Yang's life palace is forcibly instilling knowledge from another world into her soul!

"Nonsense! Stop!"

She gave a low shout, and the black aura around her spread rapidly, attempting to block out those images.

Just as the black mist rose, countless bright screens suddenly appeared above the entire city.

News, movies, classrooms, games, war...

Everything Lu Yang had ever seen, heard, or even just glanced at was now being unearthed by the Fate Palace.

Tens of millions of voices rang out simultaneously.

The woman in the black robe trembled violently.

She has cultivated for many years, and her spirit is far stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, in the era in which Lu Yang lived, the information he could access every day far exceeded what the average person in Dali would see and hear in a lifetime.

The woman in black robes wanted to leave the Palace of Fate.

But the surrounding scenery changed again.

The tall buildings, streets, and vehicles quickly receded into the distance, replaced by a deep starry sky.

The earth beneath our feet transformed into a deep blue star.

The star grew smaller and smaller.

Countless stars swept past her, eventually converging into a dazzling river that stretched across the darkness.

The woman in the black robe realized for the first time how vast the starry sky above her was.

She once observed the life fire and also used Gu worms to peek into the secrets of heaven.

But in the face of this seemingly endless sea of ​​stars, everything she knew suddenly seemed incredibly insignificant.

"impossible……"
