"Let him in!"
The voice of the Saint of Taiqing rang in the ears of the mountain god of Shouyang Mountain, dispelling his hesitation. He straightened his face, made way for a passage, and bowed toward Jiang Chen saying, "Immortal Venerable, please!"
Jiang Chen nodded, and walked straight into Shouyang Mountain. After only a few steps, he saw a white-haired Taoist with a staff approaching him.
This was the Evil Corpse, Daoist Heavenly Venerable of Moral Principles, left by the Saint of Taiqing on Shouyang Mountain, specifically to guard the seal of Kongtong. Among the six saints of the Heavenly Dao, the Saint of Taiqing was the only one who had severed his three corpselike selves before attaining sainthood.
Thus, he had three avatars: the Good Corpse as the Primordial Lord Laozi, the Evil Corpse as Daoist Heavenly Venerable of Moral Principles, and the Self Corpse as the Saint of Taiqing himself.
