When Liu Tao saw the reactions of the five Elders, he smiled.

He stopped hiding and released the aura of a martial arts master.

Instantly, the clothes on Liu Tao moved even though there was no wind. A powerful aura appeared from Liu Tao’s body and created a gust. It caused the oil lamps in the ancestral temple to sway, and the room dimmed and lit up repeatedly.

Meanwhile, a powerful force caused Liu Dahai and the rest to wobble, and they were forced to take a few steps back.

Their expressions changed drastically. They looked at Liu Tao in disbelief.

“Martial arts master… The grand martial arts master…”

Liu Erhai spat out the nail in his mouth and exclaimed, “You are not injured, you managed to break through!”

Liu Sanhai flicked his earwax and his eyes lit up.

Liu Dahai, Liu Wuhai, and Liu Liuhai crowded over in excitement and carefully felt the aura on Liu Tao.

The aura was extremely powerful, and it caused them to fear Liu Tao.

“Indeed, he is a grand martial arts master!”

“No, he is even more powerful than a grand martial arts master!” Liu Dahai said in affirmation and was in disbelief.

Among the Elders, his martial arts status was the closest to Liu Tao’s. However, Liu Tao managed to make a breakthrough faster than he did and had reached the grand martial arts master state!

That made him very excited.

“How did you manage to make a breakthrough?”

Liu Tao smiled mysteriously and pointed to the spirit tablet of Liu Fan.

“It’s thanks to our ancestor, who watched over me!”

Liu Dahai frowned and clearly did not believe him.

The other Elders also refused to believe it.

“Our ancestor has been extremely responsive today. Do you guys want to give it a try?!” Liu Tao suggested, and a look flashed across his eyes.

He thought that his breakthrough that day felt extremely strange.

Therefore, he wanted to persuade Liu Dahai and the other Elders to give it a try to prove his somewhat childish conjecture — that paying respects to their ancestor would help them break through their bottleneck.

“Give it a shot! If you don’t feel like you are making a breakthrough, then don’t force yourself. You won’t get injured either!”

Liu Tao continued to encourage the rest and intentionally showed his aura as a grand martial arts master. That caused Liu Dahai and the rest to be extremely envious.

“Alright, let’s give it a shot!”

The group made up their mind and turned around to pay respects to Liu Fan.

They burned incense sticks and incense paper, kowtowed, and prayed…

Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai were the most serious. They looked very serious as they made 90-degree bows. When they kowtowed, they were almost flat on the ground and made knocking sounds when their heads hit the floor.

“Respect points +1000.”

Liu Fan felt relieved as he witnessed this from the coffin.

These two descendants were very sincere.

However, Liu Fan was not happy when he turned to look at Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai.

The three of them acted as though a metal board was implanted onto their waists. The maximum angle of their bow was 60 degrees, and they simply nodded their heads when they were supposed to kowtow.

“Respect points +300.”

Liu Fan was frustrated.

“These three do not even care about my existence!”

At this moment, Liu Tao also could not stand it anymore.

“If you want to attempt to make a breakthrough, you will have to calm yourself down and pay respects to our ancestor sincerely!”

“The old saying goes, your dreams will come through if you are sincere!”

After saying that, he took a look at Liu Fan’s coffin and said, “Our ancestor can see all of this from heaven.”

As he said that, he purposely took a glance at Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai.

However, the three of them did not care.

After paying their respects to their ancestor, they immediately went into the secret room and began their attempts.

In the coffin, Liu Fan took note of the performance of the five descendants.

“Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai are very respectful. Both of them shall be awarded the Smooth and Sailing Spell — go!”

“Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai do not treat their ancestor seriously, so they do not deserve the love of their ancestor either!”

“The Rage of the Ancestor — the Curse of Anxiousness, go!”

“Trying to make a breakthrough, I am doing you a favor by not making all of you overtrain!”

The ancestor had feelings too!

In the secret room, Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai sat with their legs crossed.

They were also at the peak of the Fish Dive State and had been stuck at the bottleneck for many years. Both of them were extremely excited to make a breakthrough and they were mumbling as they trained.

“Ancestor, please watch over me. Ancestor, please watch over me…”

Perhaps it was because of their excitement, they took a long time to adjust their breathing and sat there for a long time.

“It seems that we are unable to make a breakthrough this time!”

However, at that moment, they shuddered, and the force of martial arts began to flow. Then, with a boom, they broke the bottleneck.

Both of them made the breakthrough one after another and became martial arts masters immediately.

Because of their own experience and skills, they could only advance to the martial arts master instead of the grand martial arts master like Liu Tao.

However, even that made them extremely excited.

After being stuck in the Fish Dive State for many years, they finally made a breakthrough!

The martial arts master was considered an expert in the martial arts scene of Scorpio Island.

They ran out of the secret room into the ancestor and began to pay respects to their ancestor.

“Thank you for watching over me, Ancestor!”

“Ancestor, I love you!”

Both of them were so excited that their faces turned red as they burned incense sticks and incense paper and kowtowed to Liu Fan.

Liu Tao looked at the two of them in the ancestral temple and felt the changes in their aura. That caused his breath to quicken, and he looked up at Liu Fan’s spirit tablet in extreme respect.

“Ancestor has never left. He has been watching over us from heaven all along!”

“Today, he has shown his powers!”

“Thump!”

He knelt down in front of Liu Fan’s spirit tablet and shouted loudly, “Thank you for showing your powers from heaven, Ancestor!”

Then, he kowtowed.

The sincerity and seriousness in his expression shocked Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai. They proceeded to nod and said, “Yes, Ancestor has shown his powers today!”

Liu Fan was surprised.

A huge 2000 respect points floated out of Liu Tao’s head.

Meanwhile, both Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai each contributed 1000 respect points.

He obtained 3000 respect points just like that!

He was rich!

At this moment, Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai returned to the ancestral temple.

The three of them looked extremely disappointed.

Evidently, they had failed in the breakthrough!

When they saw Liu Tao, Liu Wuhai, and Liu Liuhai madly paying respects to their ancestor, they were shocked and wanted to tell them not to be too superstitious.

However, after that, they froze.

That was because they felt the changes in the aura of Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai!

Their aura had become powerful.

Those auras had way surpassed Liu Dahai and made him feel suppressed.

Those auras were clearly those of a martial arts master!

“You guys… managed to make a breakthrough?!!” Liu Dahai said with a trembling voice and widened his eyes in disbelief.

Liu Erhai and Liu Sanhai were stunned too.

“How did you guys manage to make a breakthrough?”

Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai looked at Liu Fan’s spirit tablet and said respectfully, “We sat cross-legged in the secret room and were adjusting our breathing. Then… we managed to make a breakthrough!”

“Hmm, that’s right, it happened suddenly!”

Liu Dahai widened his eyes and looked at Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai. Then, he turned his gaze to Liu Fan’s spirit tablet and, after a long time, he shouted as though he was unfairly treated, “Ancestor, you are too biased!”
