"Humm—"
In just that mont, an extrely mysterious aura rippled out from you all.
However, as this aura dispersed, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind you and Zhao’er, placing his hand atop your heads and softly chanting, "All Forms of Sen Luo, Divine Enthronent."
The outward emanating mysterious aura instantly ceased and quickly withdrew back into you and Zhao’er.
Empress furrowed her brow and looked at the newcor, asking, "Yun Chu, what are you doing here?"
"Yun Chu?" Your mother and father frowned simultaneously as they gazed at Yun Chu.
Judging by appearances now, Yun Chu didn’t look much like you; both of your faces have greatly changed. To strangers, the most one might guess was that you two were related.
Truth be told, it was only the aura emitted between your brows that bore so resemblance.
Compared to others, Daoist Bai i’s reaction was more intense. He stared straight at Yun Chu, his tone slightly excited, "Are you the Heavenly Demon God who once faced the All Heavens Gods and Demons alone?"
Yun Chu smiled faintly, "Heavenly Demon God or whatever, those are just titles others gave . Now, I am simply an idle person; you should just call Yun Chu."
Mother En was about to bow respectfully to Yun Chu when he promptly extended his hand to stop her, "Old lady, I truly cannot accept such a courtesy from you."
Saying so, he instead bowed respectfully to Mother En and then to your parents.
"Why do this?" your father asked.
Yun Chu chuckled softly, "China has always been a land of etiquette; these rituals cannot be abandoned. Not to ntion that this residual soul of mine owes its reformation to Mu Yun’s blessing; speaking of seniority, I am indeed a junior to all three of you, considering I share a sect-brotherhood with the person behind ."
"Sect-brother?"
Everyone stunned, only the Empress stood by, her expression calm, seemingly aware of this fact already.
"Brother Yun Chu, haven’t you lived for thousands of years? How can you say you’re sect brothers with Brother Mu Yun?"
Lin Panxia seed unreserved about Yun Chu’s identity, casually using the term "big brother."
Yun Chu imdiately laughed, "Didn’t you all learn in the Map of Kingdom that Mu Yun’s initial state was called Wu Dao?"
Seeing everyone nodding, a touch of nostalgia appeared on Yun Chu’s face, "The Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the Sky is beyond the mundane realm, coveted by countless gods and demons. Thus, our Master concealed his na and dwelled in the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars, recruiting disciples widely."
"Wait, the Master you ntioned, is it the Bodhi Ancient Master?" Xian Qianling asked with surprise on his face, "Does that an everything that happened in there was real?"
"Is it real or fake, what does it matter?"
Yun Chu smiled faintly and continued, "The way my master desicively accepts disciples is quite similar to the Tongtian Sect Leader, teaching without discrimination. I was lucky to be his first disciple and received my master’s ticulous instruction."
"What about Brother Mu Yun?" Lin Panxia asked.
Yun Chu glanced at you, smiled, and said, "He was among the second batch of disciples, Monkey King was the third batch, and besides, we have a junior Brother, Liu Dao, who is the last disciple of our master."
"Among many disciples, Wu Dao, Monkey King, Liu Dao and I stood out. We were not content with the status quo and aid to obtain the power of Heavenly Dao to disrupt the order of heaven and earth."
With the tragic scene in the Map of Kingdom in mind, the usually serene and unambitious Wu Qiyi also began to plan her future. She realized that your group was all rowing upstream against the current, and behind you lay an abyss. If you failed to row upstream, you would all perish.
She asked Yun Chu, "Please, what exactly did Wu Dao do back then? The Map of Kingdom doesn’t provide many details."
"The story of the Great Sage of Heaven causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace is well-known. However, people do not know that before him, soone else had caused chaos in the Lingxiao Palace, and had severely beaten the Heavenly Emperor."
Everyone was shocked, and Xian Qianling said with clenched fists, "He had such audacity?"
Yun Chu nodded, "Yes, under our master’s guidance, there were over three hundred disciples, among which the four of us were the strongest and the least submissive. Particularly Wu Dao; everyone says that Monkey King has a hot temper and swings his staff at the slightest provocation, but Wu Dao’s temper was no better, which is why our master nad him Wu Dao."
At this point, Yun Chu turned to look at the Empress and noticed that she was silent. He then continued, "My master had a daughter, my junior sister, who due to congenital reasons, could not leave the Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the Sky. Among the disciples, she had the best relationship with Wu Dao and Liu Dao, sharing a deep bond. Despite her exceptional talents and her young age, she understood the power of Heavenly Dao and absorbed it into herself, reaching the point of ascension within just over a decade. Although she hid it well, it was still spotted by the Heavenly Realm, and the Heavenly Gods, led by the Heavenly Emperor, deliberately confounded the power of Heavenly Dao, causing my sister’s cultivation to end in both physical and spiritual destruction."
Seeing everyone’s emotions rather unsettled, Yun Chu continued, "To save my sister, my master activated the Heavenly Stamp, gathering a strand of her residual soul within it, and then sealed it at the top layer of Ten Directions Heaven Beyond the Sky. Upon learning of this, Wu Dao deliberately wrote profane poetry in the Temple of Nüwa, causing chaos in the Three Realms."
"Excuse for interrupting," Daoist Bai i said while everyone was eagerly listening, "May I ask, what is Wu Dao’s real na?"
Yun Chu thought for a mont and said, "His real na is Zi Shou, rchants called him Emperor Xin, and after the West Zhou, the Huaxia people called him Zhou King."
Wu Qiyi and the other ladies exchanged glances, too stunned to speak, while only the Empress remained calm, as if she had foreseen everything.
Xian Qianling added, "No wonder he is so lustful."
"The TV dramas show that Zhou King eventually committed self-immolation, right?" Lin Panxia said in a sticky voice.
Yun Chu laughed and said, "That was just for show. With Wu Dao’s power, in this world, apart from the ethereal and formless Emperor Yi, no other fla could harm him."
After a pause, he continued, "Wu Dao wanted to reason with the Heavenly Emperor. With his explosive temper, a disagreent led him to battle with the Heavenly Gods. Using the ’Eight Gates of Heaven’ he comprehended himself, he forcibly absorbed the power of Heavenly Dao into his body, severely injuring the gods, and even giving the Heavenly Emperor a good beating. However, his physical body and his three Souls and Seven Spirits shattered as a result. Eventually, with the help of our Little Junior Brother Liu Dao and the power of Liu Dao, he forcefully escaped into reincarnation."
Wu Qiyi slightly furrowed her brows and asked, "Does that an Zhao’er is your teacher’s sister?"
Yun Chu shook his head slightly, "Suyi once asked about it as well, and my answer was simple: Zhao’er is just Zhao’er, she is not anyone else, she is just Zhao’er."
