"Are you really Good Corpse?"
"Does Chen Qing suspect me?" the other party asked with a smile.
"It's not just me who suspects you," Chen Qing chuckled, "Doesn't your true form suspect you too?"
The woman who called herself Yunyue turned to look at the wary Ziyue, and sighed softly, " Lord Ziyue, can't you sense what I am?"
Ziyue quickly shook her head. "I really can't feel it."
She was completely bewildered. How did she become a Daoist Heavenly Venerable in the blink of an eye?
Why didn't she feel anything at all? And since she had such a past life, why didn't she sense the Buddha's light appearing?
"You are the Heavenly Venerable Ziwei of the Daoist School, in charge of the Innate Space Dao Fruit, don't you have any memories?"
Ziyue remained silent, glancing at Chen Qing. When Chen Qing bestowed upon her the title of Great Emperor Ziwei, he had actually asked her beforehand. At the time, she didn't know why, but inexplicably, she accepted such a title. Little did she expect that it was actually due to memories from her past life?
"I have no memory," Ziyue shook her head. "I don't know why, I have no memory of my past life at all, not even this sky full of Buddhist light can attract it, so I'm very curious, am I really a reincarnation? If so, then something else must have happened to me?"
"The day you severed your ego, you immediately went to the Yin-Yang Road. The Daoist School forces hidden within the Yin-Yang Road responded immediately, paying a heavy price to send you into Samsara. As for what happened to you during your Samsara, I don't know. Many people were targeting you at the time, and the Daoist School forces on the Yin-Yang Road suffered heavy losses. Only the Dao Venerable knows the specifics."
"Didn't I tell you?" Ziyue laughed. "My Good Corpse? I remember in the setting, the Good Corpse unconditionally supports the true self, right? Why wouldn't I tell you?"
"Good and evil are one, I understand now, and I probably won't be able to hide it from the Evil Corpse either, after all, we've been together for many years."
"Yeah?"
"My lord, you still don't believe me."
"Of course I don't believe you." Ziyue sneered, "You just make things up. Do you think you're right just because you say so?"
"You are quite calm, sir," the other party sighed, raised his hand, and revealed a mark. As soon as the mark was revealed, the earth trembled, and it felt the same as the resonance with the Dragon Vein just now.
For a moment, both Chen Qing and the Imperial Capital were taken aback, and then their gazes toward each other became serious.
This guy.
" Dragon Vein, also known as Earth Vein, are the essence of this world. Among the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind, the Heavenly Dao has always refused to release the earth element. However, our Daoist School is the most capable of integrating with nature and merging with the Dao of Heaven. Therefore, we Daoist School can actually control a portion of the Innate Dao Fruit that has not been released in the world. This is the difference between Dao Venerable and leaders of other forces."
" The Daoist School stands on the side of this world. Your Majesty need not be alarmed. From the very beginning, we have been allies."
"Is that so?" A golden glint flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he smiled slightly. "Why didn't you say so earlier that I have such a powerful force supporting me?"
"Because we need to carefully consider whether you meet the qualifications for cooperation with the Daoist School. After all, before you, there have been quite a few rulers of the Central Plains with the potential for success, but none of them have succeeded."
"So that means I'm now considered qualified?"
"You're certainly qualified to force the Victorious Fighting Buddha to leave," the other party said with a slight bow.
As he spoke, the light from the mark on his hand intensified, as if the heavens and earth were responding to his words. At this moment, the Dragon Vein seemed to come alive, and the spiritual energy of the earth rapidly gathered in the capital. The erupting spiritual energy was like a fountain, and if it had substance, it would be comparable to the highest level of spiritual fields in the capital. If this continued, in less than a day, the entire capital would become the most abundant spiritual land in the world.
"I see!" The emperor clapped his hands and laughed. "Envoy, please come inside the palace for a chat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yunyue bowed again, then glanced slightly at Ziyue.
Ziyue didn't speak, but her eyes were indeed less wary than before.
The other party's response was simple: she controlled the Dragon Vein, which meant she was a powerful Daoist School envoy. If the Daoist School had invested so much effort in her, they certainly wouldn't want the Evil Corpse to devour them. Someone who could obtain the position of Daoist School envoy couldn't possibly be Evil Corpse. Having the Daoist School's backing was the best answer!

"Old man, look, you didn't let me take this gamble, now it's even harder to make a move. The Daoist School has already made its move, it's even harder to kill that little emperor."
" The Daoist School." Elder Liu looked at the sky above the imperial city, his expression extremely strange.
Others might not know, but he did know who was behind the Daoist School sect.
Can that thing still control the Daoist School?
The key question is: is the Daoist School of today still Daoist School?
"It's not a bad thing," Elder Liu smiled slightly, "This might just be our opportunity."
Upon hearing this, the "old man," the Victorious Fighting Buddha, narrowed his golden pupils slightly. "Back then, when the Daoist School suddenly withdrew from the final competition, did you know something?"
In the first and second eras, the Daoist School was actually very powerful. As an organization that cooperated with the Heavenly Dao, it not only had the support of the Qi Luck, but also indirectly controlled the unreleased Heavenly Dao Fruit. If it weren't for the restrictions on personnel and the lack of enough excellent players to fill the gaps in membership, the Daoist School might have been an even larger force than the Demon Domain.
However, the Daoist School, which had clearly gained a significant advantage in the previous era, suddenly withdrew from the final struggle over the Yin-Yang Road for some unknown reason.
That time, the Daoist School had a high probability of taking control of half of the Samsara. After he withdrew, the entire Yin-Yang Road was reduced to one of the Ten Great Ghost King, and the Daoist School's sphere of influence shrank by more than ten times. It is said that the Ghost Venerable of the Daoist School was also seriously injured.
The reason why the reincarnation of Ziwei Star dared to ambush him by three families was to test the strength of the Daoist School.
The conclusion was that there were indeed problems within the Daoist School. He didn't know what those problems were, but the Daoist School had indeed declined!
"I've guessed some things, but I'm not entirely sure." Elder Liu looked at the capital city with a strange smile and said, "But now someone can help me confirm it: Immediately awaken the Future Buddha and tell him there's something important for him to do!"
"Oh?" The Victorious Fighting Buddha's eyes lit up immediately. "A big move is about to happen, old man?"
Elder Liu paid no attention to this guy who kept changing his tune, simply saying with his hands behind his back, "This time, it's time to settle things once and for all."
"Your Excellency Pu Yunchuan!"
--
"You mean, Pu Yunchuan is behind the Daoist School sect?"
Inside the palace, Ziyue followed closely behind Chen Qing. Although the other party seemed to have now proven that he was Good Corpse, Ziyue still remained vigilant and kept a certain distance from the woman who called herself Yunyue.
At this moment, both of them were using Divine Path Style to transmit their voices. Because of the close distance, it did not consume much faith, nor did it require the consumption of Spirit Energy.
"It should be right," Chen Qing said calmly. "The only one who can control the Dao Fruit of Heaven and Earth is Pu Yunchuan, who Fusion with this game world. Back then, he very likely secretly supported this organization. I should have realized this long ago. Who else but Pu Yunchuan could rival Elder Liu and his ilk?"
"And this Yunyue."
"Unreliable!!"
Ziyue: "."
