The current Emperor Wu ascended to the throne at the age of 23 and ruled for 20 years, so he should be 43 years old.
The Great Elder of the royal family had been number one on the Heaven List for more than 60 years.
Logically speaking, these two should not be the same person at all.
However, Chung Shen-soo was very sure of his judgment.
Although the other party was wearing a dragon robe and looked like a middle-aged man, the spirit of a Great Master was not fake.
In fact, the other party had already touched the threshold of transcending the world, and was also a top master who was half a step away from breaking the void!
Chung Shen-soo pressed his forehead and felt a stabbing pain in his temple.
His Spiritual Perception captured those blurry images, and they became clearer and clearer.
It was still the same palace, but there were two main characters.
One was the Martial Emperor in front of him, but he looked very frightened, crawling on the ground.
Behind him was a very old corpse.
The corpse's face was full of wrinkles, like layers of old bark, and his limbs were as thin as sticks. He definitely looked more than 100 years old.
Chung Shen-soo would even believe it if it was said that he was 200 years old.
"Don't... let me go..."
The Martial Emperor was crawling on the ground, crying. He did not have a trace of the temperament of an emperor, or rather, he was just a mediocre emperor, or even a fatuous one!
He seemed to be afraid of the old corpse behind him.
Or rather, the thing under the skin!
Crack!
A clear tearing sound came from the back of the old corpse's neck.
Although the corpse was extremely old, the tearing sound was very harsh, as if a body of steel was being torn apart.
Chung Shen-soo was shocked. He knew that the martial artist had cultivated himself to the Invincible Vajra Level, and his body alone was comparable to the Invincible Stone Buddha!
And the thing that came out from the crack of the flesh sack was …
A pale monster!
It had the limbs of a crab, but its main body was a brain full of grooves.
It looked like a monster that had a head fused with a facehugger!
Its limbs took turns to crawl, and its movements were very fast, like a spider, quickly approaching the Emperor from the wall.
"No... I am the Emperor... I..."
The Martial Emperor was so terrified that he collapsed into a pile of mud. The monster easily tore open his spine and dug out his brain. Then, like a hermit crab, he burrowed into the brain.
Based on the Martial Emperor's crazed appearance, he was probably not only afraid, but also affected by the great grandmaster's mental influence.
After the monster occupied the body of the Martial Emperor, the wound on his spine quickly healed, leaving only a red line.
The Martial Emperor slowly got up and stretched his limbs like a child getting used to a new toy.
His eyes gradually revealed an aura of disdain for the world. Through the barrier of time and space, the two figures overlapped. They looked down from above, looking down at the common people. They looked at Zhong Shenxiu, and their words filled with power and determination sounded out, "I have a country!"
He spoke so naturally, as if everything he said would definitely come true.
"I finally understand … why the current Martial Emperor would suddenly make up his mind …"
Chung Shen-soo sighed.
In reality, the more an Emperor was, the more selfish he was. Most of them had the thought that after their death, they would not care about the flood.
At this time, the Wu Dynasty had accumulated a thousand years of corruption, and it was impossible to reverse it, no matter how virtuous the Emperor was.
Why would the Martial Emperor put all his eggs in one basket?
Although it seemed that the Imperial Court's hidden strength was very strong, they did not dare to recklessly act against the Orthodox Dao and Demon Dao even if they occupied nearly half of the world's power. After all, the Emperors had originally treated the world as their own.
The more rigid the Imperial Court was, the more they did not want to change. They enjoyed the imperial power in peace, and left the troubles to their descendants after death.
The reason for all this was, of course, that the original Martial Emperor had been replaced!
"But … even if you're the High Priest, do you think the Imperial Court and Imperial Court are willing to give up an Emperor? You possessed the body of the Emperor, and you used a kind of immortality method, right? A method to refine your brain into a monster, and then possess a blood descendant? Not only are you the High Priest of the Imperial Court, but you're also the Founding Ancestor of the Great Wu Dynasty, Di Tongtian! "
Chung Shen-soo said with certainty.
Organ transplants would definitely have a rejection reaction, so it was best if it was a blood descendant.
This High Priest of the Imperial Court was definitely an ancestor of the Imperial Court, living by taking the lives of his descendants.
Looking at his previous body, he was nearly two hundred years old. Before that, there might have been more than one victim.
And the Great Wu Dynasty's Imperial Court used 'Di' as their surname. Back then, the first Great Wu Dynasty's Founding Ancestor called himself — Di Tongtian!
"You're very smart …"
The High Priest's eyes revealed a look of nostalgia. "Di Tongtian? I have not used this name for a long time … 500 years ago, I was the Celestial Thearch Sword. 300 years ago, I was the Blood Demon. 200 years ago, I was Qingping Sanren. 100 years ago, I used the title of High Priest of the Imperial Court to roam the world … "
"However, I still have a few things I don't understand. Even if you are Di Tongtian, can you let the Grandmaster of the Imperial Court die for you?"
Zhong Shenxiu stared at Di Tongtian's eyes that were glowing with a purple light. She suddenly understood. "Unless … you secretly influenced them. Although the Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Technique of the Five Poison Cult is a secret technique, even the 'Genius Portrait' originates from the 'Wordless Heavenly Tablet'. Of course you have a similar cultivation technique!"
"That's right!"
Di Tongtian was very interested in talking. "Don't worry, I have already given the order. No one will disturb us … My many years of planning has finally come to an end. Today, I still have to thank you for helping me finish off those three people … My 'True Dragon Eyes' and 'Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Eyes' have their own advantages. Although I can't completely erase the Grandmaster's personality and make them my slaves, I can subtly strengthen their beliefs … Those Grandmasters originally belonged to the Imperial Court and had a belief of loyalty, although it was not strong. I strengthened this belief and made them work for the Imperial Court to die for the Imperial Court!"
Chung Shen-soo nodded his head to show that he understood.
A secret technique like the True Dragon Eyes could not change the beliefs of a Grandmaster. For example, if the Holy Monk, the Undying Evil Emperor, and the others were determined to be enemies with the Imperial Court, it could not be changed.
But if a Great Grandmaster had a sense of loyalty in his heart, even if it was very weak, then through a subtle influence, this belief could be strengthened tenfold or a hundredfold.
In the end, from casually working for the Imperial Court, it became a mission for the Imperial Court even at the expense of their lives.
To a certain extent, this was a more evil technique than the Ten Thousand Slaves Divine Eyes!
"Then … the last question."
Chung Shen-soo stared at Di Tongtian. "With your martial arts, you could have wiped out the other seven forces a long time ago. Why did you wait until now? Also … looking at your actions, it was as if you wanted the Imperial Court and the Grandmasters to perish together … "
If this person had taken action earlier, not to mention other things, the Holy Monk would definitely have been the first to be killed. He would not have dragged the two of them down with him.
