Chapter 194: Dead Extra!

The time in Return to True always passed quickly.

Lu Qingyang did not know why either.

A hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye since arriving at the Ancient Temple.

That was, when he was over two hundred years old, relying on the pills bestowed by Immortal Lord Ancient Moon.

Lu Qingyang finally succeeded in ascending to immortality!

On this day, within the Ancient Temple, radiant Immortal Spirit light soared into the heavens, illuminating the four wilds and eight directions.

Rich Immortal Spirit power surged in through the pores of Lu Qingyang's body, merging into his physique.

In that moment, his entire body radiated a pale golden glow.

As if an exiled immortal had descended into the world!

In the next instant, the Immortal Spirit power vanished without a trace.

And Lu Qingyang also opened his eyes.

His gaze was bright and piercing.

As if he could see through the heavens and perceive all things.

"True Immortal!"

There really aren't many Return to True situations that let me ascend safely.

Lu Qingyang felt the surging immortal power within his body, his face full of smiles…

And with Lu Qingyang's ascension.

The days did not change all that much.

He was in no hurry to go out and adventure in Secret Realms.

After all, he had already discovered that his fortune in the Immortal Realm was not particularly heaven-defying.

So it was better to stay safely in the Ancient Temple and cultivate.

Occasionally obtaining some favors from Gu Yue's hands.

Though not much, it was enough.

Until half a year later, when Lu Qingyang stepped into the Second-Turn True Immortal Realm.

A powerful sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart!

Not good!

Here it comes again!

This place may be about to face disaster!

Feeling the surging crisis within his body, Lu Qingyang's heart shook violently.

After all, Gu Yue was here right now.

Yet despite that, this crisis still existed.

Did that not mean that even Gu Yue, a Fifth-Turn Human Immortal, could not resist it?

No, I have to go notify that woman quickly.

Perhaps she also has backup plans and a patron to deal with it.

Thinking this, Lu Qingyang stood up.

Preparing to walk toward the door.

But when he reached the door, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

No, wait. Why… should I tell her?

This person, if not a blood feud with me, is at least an enemy of some degree in the Simulation.

Even in Return to True, it's only because she took a fancy to my talent… she even once threatened to take my life.

Given that… wouldn't it be better to leave on my own?

It would also reduce some risk.

Lu Qingyang thought, his gaze gradually firming.

A cold, sharp light flickered in his eyes.

In the next instant, without a shred of hesitation, he opened the door and left.

Within the Ancient Temple.

Lu Qingyang stood at Gu Yue's door, speaking respectfully.

"Master, your disciple has something to report."

Lu Qingyang's voice traveled forth.

A moment later, a cold, clear voice sounded from within the room.

"What is it?"

"Your disciple has cultivated bitterly for a long time. Recently, I broke through to Second-Turn True Immortal and wish to go out and temper myself."

"I have come specifically to ask Master if there is anywhere you could point me toward?"

Hearing that Lu Qingyang wanted to go out.

Gu Yue was silent for a long time.

As if she was thinking.

Seeing this, Lu Qingyang's heart also became somewhat uneasy.

Could it be that this woman won't let me leave?

If that's really the case, things will be difficult!

At this thought, Lu Qingyang's heart instantly sank.

And just as Lu Qingyang was sighing inwardly.

The woman in the room finally spoke.

"You want to go out… it's not impossible."

"However, for the sake of your safety, your Master will give you a Life Tablet imprint."

"If you are in danger, I can also find you."

Having said that, before Lu Qingyang could speak.

A ball of chilling white light flew from within the room to above Lu Qingyang's head.

Then it transformed into a white symbol, imprinted on his forehead.

Again!

Seeing this scene, Lu Qingyang could not help but curse inwardly.

But then something had occurred to him.

Could this woman have hidden that Human Tribulation Pearl on me again?

If that's really the case, that would be great.

Lu Qingyang thought, but outwardly he took his leave.

Afterward, he returned to his own room and dawdled for several days before slowly leaving the Ancient Temple.

Fortunately, he had deliberately dawdled.

In truth, after he returned, Gu Yue had been watching Lu Qingyang's every move.

Seeing that there were no signs of anything unusual, she was reassured.

"When this kid returns from his travels, my secret technique may very well be complete."

"Innate ability to ward off evil and avoid disaster…"

"Heh heh, such a treasure truly makes one's mouth water!"

Having said that, Gu Yue's eyes closed once more.

And after Lu Qingyang left the Ancient Temple, he still did not dare show any unusual behavior on the surface.

He even flew for several months, and upon reaching the Ruins of the True Immortal, pretended to enter and explore as if nothing was wrong.

And just as he stepped into the Ruins of the True Immortal, above the Ancient Temple where Gu Yue resided.

An extremely powerful aura suddenly descended.

In the next instant, Gu Yue and her two disciples were extinguished into nothingness.

And that powerful aura also slowly disappeared, ceasing to exist.

As for Lu Qingyang, at the same moment, he also sensed that the imprint Immortal Lord Ancient Moon had placed upon him had dissipated.

At the same time, a pearl white as jade slowly fell at his feet.

The Human Tribulation Pearl!

This woman really did hide it on me again!

Lu Qingyang looked at the Human Tribulation Pearl by his feet, overjoyed.

He immediately reached out and picked it up.

Then, he put it away.

Now this was good. This Return to True had given him yet another thing to agonize over.

Thinking this, Lu Qingyang also wandered through the Ruins of the True Immortal somewhat distracted.

And precisely because his mind was not focused.

A True Immortal-level Corpse Puppet behind him quietly approached, right at his back.

When Lu Qingyang sensed it, his talent activated at once, and alarm surged in his heart.

But it was already too late.

Pfft!

With a soft sound.

Lu Qingyang was killed by this True Immortal-level Corpse Puppet!

Mother… fucker…

This is the first time I've died at the hands of a Cannon Fodder.

I'm really done…

Lu Qingyang smiled bitterly, his vision beginning to blur.

【Ding! Return to True ended: You died】

【Return to True settling in progress, please wait…】

【Settling complete】

【Items that can be brought back this time: Stone Tablet*1, Ascension Pill*1, Second-Tier Immortal Artifact*1, Human Tribulation Pearl*1】

To think it ended at the hands of a Cannon Fodder…

Demon Domain, Floating Sky Great Ship, within Lu Qingyang's cabin.

Listening to the System notification of Return to True's end by his ear, Lu Qingyang's face revealed a speechless expression.

But from this, one could also see.

In a higher plane, even Cannon Fodder and passersby could not be taken lightly.

After all, with his fortune level, in a Great Thousand World like the Immortal Realm, it was simply not enough.

But this still did not change Lu Qingyang's determination to focus on upgrading his Family Background at this stage.

Because… from the item rewards that could be brought back from this Return to True, one could see just how important a high starting point was.

"Setting aside this Stone Tablet, the Ascension Pill can let a Great Vehicle cultivator ascend to immortality on the spot."

"If this were to spread to the Prison Dragon Realm, I'm afraid both the human and demon races would stop their war because of it!"
