The ceremony in the ancestral temple had ended.
Liu Erquan made a breakthrough and attained the status of a grand martial arts master on the spot.
Liu Dongdong got the hint from Liu Tao and copied Liu Erquan. He had his face on the ground and did that all the way from the door of the ancestral temple to Liu Fan's spirit tablet. He contributed respect points that were comparable to Liu Erquan's.
Liu Fan was not stingy with the Love of the Ancestor and rewarded him with the Spell of Sudden Realization, allowing Liu Dongdong to make a breakthrough from the Body Tempering Realm to the Fish Dive State.
His powers increased tremendously!
He became the first person from the younger generation of the Liu family to do that.
It was extremely stunning, and the Liu family members exclaimed.
"The Liu family should now be on the top ten of the List of Heroes in Scorpio Island!"
Liu Tao smiled and looked at Liu Dongdong.
"Meimei often told me about the top ten experts on the List of Heroes. She treated that very seriously. After all, girls like handsome, muscular, and powerful men!"
Liu Dongdong was motivated.
If he was able to defeat any of the men on the top ten rankings of the List of Heroes, he would become one of the top ten, and Liu Meimei would definitely look at him differently.
Coincidentally, Zhuo Tianyou from the Lord Governor's Mansion was one of the top ten on the List of Heroes.
"Alright, you are the one!"
Liu Dongdong rubbed his hands and left, feeling motivated.
He was going to declare war against Zhuo Tianyou!
When Liu Wuhai saw that, his expression changed and he wanted to stop Liu Dongdong.
That was because Zhuo Tianyou was not easily defeatable; he was one of the top three on the List of Heroes. His skills with the sword came from the mysterious spaceship and were extraordinary. Liu Dongdong would probably suffer a huge loss.
"Let him be!"
Liu Tao waved his hands and stopped Liu Wuhai.
People from the Lord Governor's Mansion had the sword skills from the mysterious spaceship, but Liu Dongdong had the skills from his Ancestor.
Liu Dongdong might not lose.
All the other family members left to cultivate in seclusion and attempted to make a breakthrough.
Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai finally paid their respects to their ancestor. They had witnessed the miraculous breakthroughs of Liu Erquan and Liu Dongdong.
Therefore, they learned how to pay respects to their ancestor.
That was basically to hit their head on the ground and rub their faces against it.
The three of them kowtowed from the courtyard of the ancestral temple all the way to the front of Liu Fan's spirit tablet, and their faces were smeared with blood.
Liu Tao was shocked. Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai watched while swallowing their saliva.
Liu Erquan was still around. He had become a grand martial arts master and was now the seventh Elder of the Liu family. He had the eligibility to remain there.
When he saw how the three of them paid respects to their ancestor, he was ashamed.
Liu Dahai's face was full of blood. Along with Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai, they teared up while burning incense sticks and incense paper and kowtowing to Liu Fan.
Then, they stayed on the spot and looked at Liu Fan's spirit tablet, waiting for him to activate his powers.
Liu Fan was speechless.
That was because all three of them contributed only 100 respect points each. That was way fewer than Liu Erquan and Liu Dongdong.
Although the three of them acted very well and kowtowed until their faces were smeared with blood, they were never respectful of their ancestor.
"The Fury of the Ancestor — the Spell of Safe and Daunting Experience! Go!"
Liu Fan gave the three of them the Spell of Safe and Daunting Experience, hoping that they would make a breakthrough. However, they had to suffer from immense fear as they did that.
The three of them stood in front of the spirit tablet for a long time, but their ancestor had yet to show his powers.
They looked at each other in worry!
Did we not act enough?!
Or did our ancestor know that we are blaming him for being biased?!
At this moment, the three of them suddenly became happy.
That was because they could sense that their breakthrough was coming and they had to go into seclusion and cultivate immediately.
"Clan Head, we have to take our leave now, hahaha!"
Liu Dahai laughed. Liu Erhai chipped off two of his fingernails excitedly while Liu Sanhai dug out a lot of earwax in excitement. The three of them rushed out of the ancestral temple like a whirlwind and ran to their own secret rooms.
In the ancestral temple, Liu Tao was delighted and heartened.
"It seems that those three Elders finally know how to respect our ancestor. This allowed them to get blessings from him!"
Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai nodded in agreement beside him.
Liu Erquan felt strange and looked at Liu Fan's spirit tablet.
After hearing what the head of the clan had said, he suddenly realized that the so-called breakthrough pill was a disguise. The real factor that determined the breakthrough was the protection of the ancestor.
"A person who has been dead for 1000 years can still show his powers?"
"Is our ancestor really so amazing?"
Liu Erquan was a little lost.
At this moment, he saw Liu Tao shut the door of the ancestral temple and look at him with a serious face.
"Erquan, you are now the seventh Elder of the family. In that case, you are eligible to have the physical cultivation of our family passed down to you!"
After hearing that, Liu Erquan was stunned and asked in confusion, "Didn't the passing down of our physical cultivation stop?!"
Hearing that, Liu Tao smiled. Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai smiled too.
The three of them pointed to Liu Fan's coffin and said proudly, "As long as our ancestor is here, the physical cultivation will always be passed down!"
As they said that, they pulled Liu Erquan over and bowed to Liu Fan's spirit tablet.
"Ancestor, the new Elder Liu Erquan will be touching you today!"
"Ancestor, please forgive us!"
After that, they opened the lid of the coffin.
Liu Fan hurriedly closed his eyes.
Pretend to be dead!
Liu Tao and the three others came forward and looked at Liu Fan's body from a close distance.
"Aiya, whenever I see the smooth skin of our ancestor, I always feel that he never passed away to begin with!" Liu Wuhai exclaimed as he touched Liu Fan's arm.
Liu Fan was shocked. 'My dearest descendant, you spoke the truth!'
'I am still alive!'
Moreover, he was becoming more and more alive. His blood was flowing, his veins were being connected, and his flesh was reforming. Moreover, a day from now, his left middle finger would be revived too!
"Ancestor is the founder of physical cultivation. His body will never be harmed. If his skin becomes imperfect, that means something is wrong!"
Liu Liuhai glared at Liu Wuhai.
Liu Tao waved his hand and stopped their conversation. He signaled them to flip their ancestor over.
"Release the button of our ancestor's clothes and show his back. Let's see if the marks have changed!" Liu Tao said.
He took a look at the changes on the marks on Liu Fan's back every other day.
His clothes were unbuttoned.
Liu Fan's back was revealed.
That back was smooth and its skin was bouncy and silky.
There was a mysterious mark that looked like a complicated diagram. It morphed continuously along with the protective aura.
After seeing the marks on Liu Fan's back for the first time, Liu Erquan was in shock.
His martial arts status was high and he saw much more. Therefore, he was even more surprised.
He saw more than ten cultivation techniques.
"Hurry, let me touch our ancestor!"
Liu Erquan was eager.
Liu Tao smiled and gave way.
Liu Erquan placed his hand on Liu Fan's back in excitement and closed his eyes as he carefully felt his back.
After a while, he took a deep breath and retracted his hand in excitement.
"It felt so good! So good! So good!"
"Touching Ancestor feels so good!"
"I felt the Three Suns Body Tempering Method, Fist and Sun, and the Secret Technique of the Bulldozer!"
Liu Erquan was so excited that he jumped.
He could not believe that he became the Liu family's second-generation Bulldozer. Like his ancestor, he would be able to rule over the martial arts realm in this world.
Yet now, after obtaining the Secret Technique of the Bulldozer, he had also mastered other cultivation techniques. He could not control his excitement.
