19: The female corpse of destiny, the Taoist body is fake

"You damned little girl, how did I just instruct you? Why didn't you stop Chu Tian?" Luo Yushan cried out, panic-stricken, like someone about to drown.

"What sin have I committed? Marrying into your Liu Family, I live in fear every day..."

Inside the hall.

"Within the Myriad Worlds, there are countless miraculous Dao Bodies. Among Dao Bodies, there's also the distinction between Innate and Acquired. Innate ones condense a Dao Embryo in the womb. Acquired ones, through powerful scriptures, secret techniques, or peerless Dao divine medicine, also have the chance to forge a Dao Body," Chu Tianyun explained to Chu Tian.

"So, Liu Yun's Dao Body was forged by members of the Liu Family using certain methods after her birth?"

Chu Tian's brows furrowed even tighter: "But I heard that when Liu Yun was born, the Dao rumbled, and heaven and earth phenomena shook the heavens, with an area of a million li all feeling it. Can such heaven and earth phenomena also be falsified?

Even if it were artificially fabricated phenomena, it couldn't possibly deceive so many experts throughout the Sect, could it?"

Within the Saint Heaven Sect, there were countless experts. Just the known Emperors included Chu Tian King and Ye Tianxiong, two supreme experts renowned on the Hengtian Board, not to mention Jian Kongzhu was also within the Sect at that time.

For the Liu Family, merely a second-rate Family within the Sect, to fabricate Dao phenomena and deceive the entire Sect was truly unbelievable.

"It's precisely because the Liu Family crafted this deception too realistically that our Family didn't notice for so many years. Chu Tian, see it with your own eyes, and everything will become clear." Chu Tianyun's expression was grim as he led Chu Tian into the palace.

The palace was vast, and the ground beneath it seemed to have been dug through by the Liu Family, forming an extremely long and deep underground passage.

"This is..."

Chu Tian suddenly felt a dense Dao Essence spreading towards him. Chu Tian had felt this same sensation from Chu Tian King and Ye Tianxiong.

It was this very Dao Essence that allowed them to alter the winds and clouds with their changing moods, even influencing celestial phenomena.

Soon, Chu Tian entered an underground cavern and immediately saw the source of the dense Dao Essence.

It was a female corpse dressed in a white gauze dress, quietly floating in mid-air within the underground cavern.

Yet, even though she had lost all vitality and her eyes were closed, that world-shaking Dao Essence was still appalling.

"An emperor corpse." Chu Tian's expression stirred, and he blurted out.

An Emperor, the most supreme existence in the Myriad Worlds, unrivaled across all domains. Even among some top Sects on the Hengtian Continent today, there might not necessarily be an Emperor.

The Saint Heaven Sect currently had two Emperors, directly suppressing even the most ancient Holy Land, the Cihang Holy Sect, and was hailed by the outside world as the number one Sect on the Hengtian Continent.

The corpses of such experts contained Dao laws, were imperishable through the ages, and held immense might.

Beneath the Liu Family, a female Emperor's corpse was actually hidden, and no one had discovered it, which was truly shocking.

"More than just an ordinary Emperor, this is an Emperor who achieved Major Achievement of the Innate Dao Body. She was a Sect Master of the Cihang Holy Sect who disappeared one hundred thousand years ago, named Heavenly Mandate Dao Venerable."

Chu Tianyun's expression was solemn as he meticulously recounted all the ins and outs he had learned to Chu Tian.

After Chu Tian learned everything behind the scenes, he was incomparably astonished, as it contained things completely undescribed in the original plot.

It turned out that the cause of everything originated from Chu Tian King marrying Jian Kongzhu, a goddess of the Outer Realm God Race.

The two founding Families of the Saint Heaven Sect had a custom: the Family Head, who was also the current Sect Master or Deputy Sect Leader, could only take a main wife from within the Sect. This was to unite the various Families within the Sect, share benefits, and stabilize the situation.

The successive Family Heads of the Chu Family and Ye Family weren't without seeking women from other forces, but those could only be concubines or minor wives.

However, Chu Tian King broke this custom. Not only did he marry Jian Kongzhu as his main wife, but he didn't even take any concubines within the Sect.

This custom-breaking action incurred widespread discontent among the various Families within the Sect.

After his birth, he possessed the Chaos Divine Demon Body, his talent shaking the world, which further aroused intense apprehension from the Ye Family and caused a stir among numerous top Sect Families.

After all, Chu Tian's Bloodline had no relation whatsoever to the Families within the Sect. If he were to become Sect Master in the future, it would very likely harm their interests.

This was also why Chu Tian King urgently wanted to find a suitable girl for this newborn child of his, to establish a childhood engagement and quell the numerous doubts and discontent within the Sect.

And the Liu Family, this rapidly rising second-rate Family within the Sect, its current Family Head, Liu Zheng, seized this opportunity just as his wife was about to give birth.

Thus, Liu Yun emerged out of thin air.

"Liu Yun also possessed an Innate Body. At birth, she held a mouthful of Innate Qi, similar in form to a Innate Dao Body, but in reality, the difference between them was like that between heaven and earth."

Chu Tianyun's expression was gloomy. He said, "That fellow Liu Zheng released the aura of Heavenly Mandate Dao Venerable's emperor corpse. The birth of a Major Achievement Innate Dao Body naturally triggered grand heaven and earth phenomena. He then used secret techniques to extract the Dao laws from her body and refined them into the newly born Liu Yun.

The dense Dao laws actually deceived everyone in our Chu Family at that time, including your mother.

Over the years, Liu Zheng also continuously infused Innate Dao laws into Liu Yun's body in secret, deceiving our entire Family.

The Liu Family also simultaneously used our Chu Family's influence to amass great wealth, obtaining countless Sect resources.

Your father wasn't unaware, but because of Liu Yun, he always turned a blind eye, and we couldn't make a fuss either.

However, the Liu Family secretly knew they were courting death and that the truth would come to light sooner or later. Thus, they secretly extended an olive branch to the Ye Family, aligning themselves with them, attempting to ensure the Ye Family could protect them after their exposure.

The Liu Family's high-ranking members weren't unaware of Juer's background, Liu Yun's maid, but they tacitly allowed it, and this was the reason.

Furthermore, Liu Zheng had secretly been ordering his subordinates to collect incriminating evidence against our Family, attempting to counterattack and settle scores with our Chu Family at a critical moment.

If this matter were to spread, our Family would likely become a great laughingstock on the Hengtian Continent, and our standing within the Sect would also be affected and severely shaken."

Chu Tianyun's expression was incomparably gloomy, his Killing Intent awe-inspiring: "Actually, I, your Third Uncle, originally just wanted to use this incident to warn the Liu Family, to make them restrain their behavior. After all, the things they've done are tacitly assumed by the Sect to be at our Family's tacit instigation, which is tarnishing our Family's reputation.

But I never expected the Liu Family's resistance to be incredibly fierce. They refused to let the Law Enforcement Hall search, and even killed several Law Enforcement Disciples. In a fit of rage, I, your Third Uncle, led people and forced my way in, discovering this underground cavern. After that, the Liu Family's Old Ancestor actually personally made a move, trying to kill me, your Third Uncle, to silence me.

However, that old geezer has already been killed by me, your Third Uncle, and this matter has also blown up."

After speaking, Chu Tianyun smiled helplessly and said, "Originally, your task as a junior should be to focus on Cultivating. But this matter involves your childhood engagement, Chu Tian, and its impact is significant, so I, your Third Uncle, could only call you over to discuss it."
