Liu Tao shook his head when he saw this scene.

“Don’t blame our ancestor for being biased. The three of you did not even pay your respects to our ancestor sincerely. You should know that yourselves best!”

Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai opened their mouths and wanted to defend themselves but were not able to say anything.

That was because it felt too surreal!

It was unbelievable!

They were not able to make a breakthrough because they were not sincere enough?!

“However, that being said, when I was attempting my breakthrough earlier on, I was very confused as to why I felt extremely distracted!” Liu Erhai grumbled softly.

“Hey! Me too!”

Liu Sanhai was surprised.

They were unable to calm themselves down and felt extremely distracted and restless.

Liu Dahai did not make any comments but was shocked too.

That was because he felt the same way as Liu Erhai. He was extremely distracted and restless. He was not even able to concentrate and hence was not able to make a breakthrough.

Compared to Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai’s, their experience was evidently different.

“Could it really be because of our ancestor?!”

Liu Dahai shuddered.

He turned and looked at Liu Fan’s spirit tablet and was shocked.

From the coffin, Liu Fan exuded his aura of supremacy.

The supremacy of a seven-starred spirit caused the mood of the entire ancestral temple to become more serious instantly. The air seemed to have stopped.

Liu Tao, who was the most experienced in martial arts, felt the changes in the ancestral temple first. He could not explain how the suppression felt like, but he began to lean forward uncontrollably.

Meanwhile, something popped up in his mind.

He should not joke around in front of his ancestor in the future!

Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai bowed slightly and were both excited and serious. That was because they could feel their ancestor becoming more powerful.

On the other hand, to Liu Dahai, it felt that Liu Fan had become extremely powerful, and the smoke that came from the incense burner showed signs of holiness. He felt scared because of his ancestor’s powers.

“Ancestor, please forgive me for my disrespectfulness.”

Liu Dahai was drenched in sweat and immediately burned incense sticks for Liu Fan.

Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai immediately followed suit.

All three of them contributed 300 respect points each.

Liu Fan was disappointed in the coffin.

It was too late for them to realize that they had to be respectful to their ancestor!

Their ancestor would not accept this!

…

In the ancestral temple, after paying their respects to their ancestor, Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai hesitated for a long while and refused to leave.

“Let’s hold a meeting!” Liu Dahai suggested with his eyes lit up.

“Since paying respects to our ancestor helps with making a breakthrough, shall we get all our family members over to pay respects to him?”

“Let everyone experience the holy spirit of our ancestor!”

Liu Dahai smiled as he stated his plan. If he was able to pay respect to his ancestor sincerely along with the rest of the family members, he’d have another chance to make a breakthrough.

However, this suggestion was rejected by Liu Wuhai.

“Our ancestor is the treasure of our family, our most important wealth. We have to protect him!”

“If we ask the entire family to pay respects to him and the news gets leaked out, we cannot afford the consequences,” Liu Wuhai replied firmly.

After breaking through, not only did his martial arts skills improve, he also became more certain with his words.

“Nothing can compare to our ancestor!” Liu Liuhai said loudly.

In the coffin, Liu Fan approved what Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai had said.

They were good descendants as they knew how to protect their ancestor and make considerations for him!

However, Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai all insisted on inviting the entire family over to pay respects to their ancestor.

They really wanted to make a breakthrough.

Once they’d made a breakthrough, they would at least have the status of a martial arts master.

In Scorpio Island, a martial arts master was considered an expert!

Meanwhile, among the martial arts clans, a martial arts master that had attained the Dragon State would be considered an expert of the Elder standard!

It was extraordinary!

“No more negotiations! Our ancestor is not a tool for training. If you want to become stronger, you will have to put in the effort and train by yourself!”

Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai shook their heads in unison.

Liu Dahai was frustrated. “Both of you are so stubborn!”

“None of the family members are good in martial arts, and many of them have been stuck in the Body Tempering Realm for many years. Some of the older and experienced family members have been stuck at the Fish Dive State for a long time too.”

“Once they make a breakthrough, the overall capability of the Liu family would increase tremendously.”

“By then, we will rule over Black Street easily.”

When he said that, Liu Dahai suddenly turned around, made a 90-degree bow to Liu Fan’s spirit tablet, and said sincerely, “As long as we become more powerful and rich, we will be able to burn the most expensive joss paper and incense sticks for our ancestor!”

“Ancestor can live in the lap of luxury in heaven! Moreover, he can marry many wives!”

“…”

Liu Wuhai was stunned.

Liu Liuhai opened his mouth in shock and did not know how to counter.

Liu Dahai made a lot of sense. Every single sentence meant well for the ancestor, so how could they reject his suggestions?!

“Please decide, Clan Head!”

Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai looked at each other and pushed the decision-making to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao paced around as he thought about what Liu Dahai had said.

That was because what Liu Dahai said made him recall their ancestor’s personal love life…

“Based on the records, our ancestor had seven wives!”

“The first wife was a slut who gave birth to another man’s child!”

“The second wife was hyperactive and wanted to compete with our ancestor every day. Eventually, she shut herself in a cave in the mountain and created her own Ancient Tomb Sect1. She claimed that she would not leave the cave if she did not create a form of martial arts that was more powerful than the ancestor’s…”

“The third wife was already married. It was rumored that that night was a misunderstanding…”

…

Liu Tao recalled the contents in the records and sighed. The love life of his ancestor was really rough!

“Ancestor is a man too!”

“A man has his needs!”

“Perhaps we should really burn more money and more paper women, so as to ensure that our ancestor doesn’t feel lonely in heaven!”

As he thought about that, Liu Tao’s gaze became certain.

The Liu family had to grow powerful as soon as possible.

The main focus being the development of their economy, the improvement in their martial art skills was the pre-condition. Through both prongs, they would improve the status of the Liu family.

Finally, he slammed the table hard.

He said, “Gather all the clan members who are stuck in bottlenecks. Get them to pay their respects to our ancestor and attempt to make a breakthrough. Don’t disturb the other family members!”

“Everyone has only one chance to pay their respects. Whether our ancestor likes the family member really depends on our ancestor himself!”

“Then, distribute a pill to each member and say it’s our newly-invented breakthrough pill.”

Liu Tao spoke in detail.

All of them understood what he meant. They could not expose the details about how their ancestor helped with the breakthrough.

Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai smiled.

They were very satisfied with the outcome as the three of them would have another chance to make a breakthrough.

“We have to pay respects to our ancestor sincerely.”

“Ancestor, please don’t be biased anymore!”
