An Unexpected Turn: Villain Becomes Dad

Chapter 289

He wanted to stop them, but his body had been gravely injured by the Empress Destiny. Moreover, he was no match for Yang Chen at all.

Before the statue’s forehead, the Ethereal Saintess said: “The three of us must keep our auras in sync to enter together!”

Yang Chen and Yu Xuan adjusted their auras to match hers. Instantly, a suction force emerged from the three immortal light vortexes. Then, their figures were directly enveloped by the tri-colored immortal light.

The dense tri-colored immortal light gradually dissipated, and what appeared before Yang Chen’s eyes was a stone chamber.

More precisely, a tomb chamber. The tomb chamber wasn’t large, only about a hundred zhang in radius. Three stone pillars supported it.

At the top of each pillar, a ball of immortal light surged like flames, radiating the rich rules of light.

In the center of the stone chamber, there stood a tri-colored crystal coffin.

Yang Chen slowly approached, and suddenly, his eyes widened. Because lying in the crystal coffin was a woman of peerless beauty. And this woman’s appearance was identical to the statue of the Aurora Dao Master.

At this moment, the Ethereal Saintess also walked over. Seeing the woman lying in the crystal coffin, she exclaimed in shock: “It’s the corpse of the Aurora Dao Master! It’s preserved so perfectly, as if she’s merely asleep!”

…

In the crystal coffin, the Aurora Dao Master had skin like ice and bones like jade, her black hair like ink. She was clad in a red palace robe. Her figure showed no signs of distortion. Plump and graceful, with a slender waist.

Though lying flat in the crystal coffin, her chest still rose prominently. She didn’t look like a corpse at all; rather, she resembled a beautiful woman in deep slumber.

“Heavenly Dao Holy Son, the corpse of a True Immortal must not be desecrated. You’d better control your eyes!”

At this moment, the Ethereal Saintess noticed Yang Chen’s gaze wandering over the Aurora Dao Master’s voluptuous body and immediately scolded him softly.

Yang Chen pursed his lips.

“Saintess, don’t speak nonsense. When did I ever desecrate the corpse of a True Immortal? I was merely admiring a predecessor and took a couple extra glances!”

“Hmph!” The Ethereal Saintess let out a faint snort.

Her cool, beautiful eyes rolled at Yang Chen. As if to say, “I’d be a fool to believe you.”

Then, the Ethereal Saintess knelt on both knees. She performed a deep, respectful bow toward the tri-colored crystal coffin.

“Yang Qingchan, a descendant of the Three-Eyed Immortal Clan, pays respects to the Ancestor! I have rashly entered the Ancestor’s resting place. Please forgive me, Ancestor!”

The Ethereal Saintess spoke with reverence, bowing low and prostrating herself on the ground.

Yang Chen stood behind her, his eyes momentarily stunned. From his angle, he could see the Ethereal Saintess’s full, moon-like curves. This Ethereal Saintess looked quite slim, but who would’ve thought she’d be so well-endowed there—definitely capable of bearing sons.

“I didn’t expect the Saintess to share the same family name as me. It seems we’re fated after all! But, Ethereal Saintess, even if you try to build a connection with the Aurora Dao Master like this, it doesn’t seem to be working!”

Yang Chen said at this moment, his voice tinged with amusement.

The Ethereal Saintess’s little scheme was crystal clear to him. This woman appeared to be kneeling to her ancestor, but deep down, she was surely hoping to gain something through this gesture.

Heh.

But her efforts were in vain.

The Aurora Dao Master in the coffin showed no reaction whatsoever.

At this point, the Ethereal Saintess stood up. Perhaps because Yang Chen had seen through her intentions, her voice carried a hint of irritation: “Who’s part of your family~! This palace is a direct descendant of the Three-Eyed Immortal Clan, not one of you Kunlun Realm folk!”

“Oh?” Hearing the Ethereal Saintess mention the Three-Eyed Immortal Clan again, Yang Chen’s interest was piqued. “The Saintess doesn’t consider herself part of the Kunlun Realm. I assume you must know quite a bit about the legendary Immortal Realm, then! Why not share some of it with me?”

“Hmph, even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you!”

The Ethereal Saintess rolled her eyes at Yang Chen again. Seeing no reaction from the tri-colored crystal coffin, she gave up on it and walked toward the three stone pillars in the distance.

At the tops of the three stone pillars, there were balls of immortal light surging like flames.

At this moment, Yu Xuan stood beneath one of the pillars, staring at the three balls of immortal light in a daze.

Seeing Yang Chen approach, she immediately said: “Holy Son, these three beams of immortal light are surely extraordinary. I can sense the origin of the Dao of Light within them! The Aurora Dao Master’s inheritance must be in these three beams of immortal light!”

Though Yu Xuan didn’t possess a Holy Spirit Body, the Holy Spirit bloodline in her was exceptionally potent. Moreover, she cultivated the Dao of Light and had an extraordinary sensitivity to it.

Yang Chen also sensed the unusual nature of these three beams of immortal light. With his current mastery of the Dao of Light, his perception of them was even deeper than Yu Xuan’s.

A white glow of divine light emerged from Yang Chen’s body, enveloping the three beams of immortal light.

Yang Chen wanted to investigate them closely. But at that moment, as if sensing something, the three beams of immortal light, originally dazzling, quickly dimmed, transforming into pools of differently colored liquids.

The liquids flowed down the pillars, gathering into a pool in front of the three stone pillars. The three colors intertwined, as if they could blend into every color in the world.

The scene in the pool was like a dream.

“Such a rich immortal charm! Could this be the legendary Origin Immortal Liquid?”

Looking at the radiant, shimmering liquid in the pool, exuding a potent immortal charm, the Ethereal Saintess exclaimed in shock.

“Origin Immortal Liquid?” Yang Chen raised an eyebrow.

Yu Xuan explained beside him: “Holy Son, Origin Immortal Liquid is formed when a True Immortal, upon their fall, seals their Great Dao origin, encapsulating their lifetime of cultivation insights! Its value is no less than the blood and flesh essence of a True Immortal! Over the past million years, every cultivator who entered the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm and obtained Origin Immortal Liquid has, without exception, achieved the rank of True Immortal!”

At this, a spark of excitement flashed in Yu Xuan’s beautiful eyes.

The chance to become a True Immortal was right before her—how could she not be thrilled?

“I see!” Yang Chen nodded.

The Blood of a True Immortal was the essence of their flesh and blood. The Origin Immortal Liquid, on the other hand, was the fruit of their cultivation.

In that case, the value of this Origin Immortal Liquid was indeed comparable to the Blood of a True Immortal.

At this moment, the vertical eye on the Ethereal Saintess’s forehead burst forth with brilliant tri-colored immortal light, as if merging with the tri-colored immortal light emanating from the pool’s Origin Immortal Liquid.

Then, with light steps, she stepped into the pool.

“Ethereal Saintess, stop!”

Seeing this, Yu Xuan hurriedly tried to intervene.

But Yang Chen held her back.

“No need to rush. There’s plenty of Origin Immortal Liquid. Let her test the waters for us first!”

As Yang Chen finished speaking, half of the Ethereal Saintess’s body had already submerged into the Origin Immortal Liquid. The tri-colored liquid began to meld into her delicate frame. At the same time, the white palace gown she wore started to dissolve rapidly.

The Origin Immortal Liquid seemed capable of melting clothing. In just a few breaths, a pristine, fair body was revealed before Yang Chen’s eyes.

With its curves and contours, it was even more visually striking than the radiant Origin Immortal Liquid itself.
