Chapter 8: Ancestor, You Are Too Powerful
Editor: Atlas Studios
The group arrived at the ancestral temple at the same time and stood in a row.
Burn incense stick.
Burn incense paper.
Kowtow.
"Respect points +550."
Instantly, Liu Fan felt extremely relieved.
He was looking at Liu Tao and Liu Dahai.
Both of them had important roles in the Liu family. And since Liu Tao was the head of the clan, his ability could be developed and he had to represent the Liu family.
Liu Fan began to think about how he could boost their abilities…
At this moment, Liu Tao knelt in front of his spirit tablet and took out a package from his pocket.
"Ancestor, the Liu family is suffering because of this item!"
"This item is so important that it is not safe to place it anywhere. After thinking about it, we've decided to place this item with you. Please forgive us."
After that, he kowtowed.
Liu Fan was wondering, what did his descendant mean by that?
Couldn't he be clearer with his words?
What was in the package?
At that moment, Liu Dahai and the four other Elders opened Liu Fan's coffin together.
Liu Fan hurriedly closed his eyes in the coffin.
"Ancestor, please forgive us!"
Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai were chanting. They were very respectful every single time they touched Liu Fan's coffin.
Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, and Liu Sanhai were not so respectful.
One of them clutched Liu Fan's head while the other clutched his waist. The last one held Liu Fan's thighs and shouted, "One, two, three, lift!"
Liu Fan felt his body shake and he was turned over!
However, because the movement was too drastic, his clothes were torn and a large part of the skin on his back was exposed.
There was a mysterious tattoo on his back. As the protective aura had faded, it exuded a different intensity and some warmth.
"Wah! Clan Head, come and take a look — isn't this the 'Three Suns Body Tempering Method' that failed to be passed down in our family?" the First Elder shouted in surprise.
Liu Tao was shocked and came closer to take a look.
Meanwhile, the Second, Third, Fifth, and Sixth Elders all crowded around.
They stretched their necks to look at the mark on Liu Fan's back.
"I don't remember our Ancestor having these marks on his body when I changed his clothes for him. Why did the marks suddenly appear today?"
The First Elder was confused and the other Elders shook their heads.
In the coffin, Liu Fan was holding in his anger. What did his descendants want to do to him?!
Yesterday, he was thrown to kill people. Today, they stripped off his clothes to examine the marks. What else would they want tomorrow?!
"However, the strange thing is, why did my tattoo turn into the Three Suns Body Tempering Method?!"
Liu Fan was curious.
Then, he suddenly recalled how in the latter part of his life, he trained by doing a strange set of skills called "Remains After Death."
"Could it be because of that?"
Liu Fan was unsure and continued to think about it.
"Get lost, let me touch it!"
At this moment, Liu Tao pushed the heads of the Elders aside and stretched out his hand to touch Liu Fan's back.
Liu Tao's expression changed as he touched the tattoo.
His face became red.
He became excited.
He was exhilarated!
"I figured out the movement path of the Three Suns Body Tempering Method, the fist technique of the 'Fist and Sun,' as well as the finger technique of the 'Yi Yang Finger.' Eh… this… this is…'Secret Technique of the Bulldozer'!!!" Liu Tao exclaimed.
"What?! Secret Technique of the Bulldozer?! Oh my goodness!" Liu Dahai shouted in excitement.
"The records stated that the so-called Bulldozer was a term given to someone who used the Secret Technique of the Bulldozer to train after their bodies have reached the peak performance. This technique allows their bodies to expand like a king kong. It could not be harmed by weapons or hurt by fire and water. It's said to be undefeatable!"
Liu Wuhai's voice trembled and he looked at the body in admiration and respect.
In the coffin, Liu Fan was shocked. Did his technique Remains After Death really work?!
Or else, why would the techniques he had cultivated in his life show up on his back?
Could someone explain that?!
"Clan Head, please step aside, I want to touch our ancestor too!" Liu Liuhai said in excitement.
Liu Tao smiled and stepped aside to grant him his wish.
Liu Liuhai took a deep breath and placed his hand gently on Liu Fan's back.
"Wah! The Three Suns Body Tempering Method and the fist technique of Fist and Sun are really here… Hmm?! Strange, but I don't feel the Yi Yang Finger and the Secret Technique of the Bulldozer!"
Liu Liuhai frowned.
"Impossible!" Liu Tao said in denial.
He pushed Liu Liuhai aside and touched Liu Fan again.
"It's there. Isn't this it?!" Liu Tao said as he pointed at a mark on Liu Fan's back.
Liu Liuhai went to touch it but could not feel anything.
"My fellow Elders, do you want to feel his back too?"
The other Elders nodded and went ahead to touch Liu Fan's back in order.
After touching his back, they were shocked.
Everyone felt different things. Some of them felt fewer things than the others.
"Strange, why is it like this?"
"Could it be because of the differences in our luck, sensitivity, and abilities?"
When Liu Dahai expressed his analysis, the other Elders' eyes lit up and they nodded.
Liu Fan had figured things out in the coffin too.
The marks on his back were definitely the techniques he had cultivated when he was alive. However, whether one could feel them depended on one's sensitivity.
Liu Tao and Liu Dahai were more sensitive than the other four Elders and, hence, they could feel the most number of techniques.
"I thought the techniques of the Liu family were lost. I didn't expect them to reappear suddenly!"
"This is a secret of the Liu family, it cannot be exposed."
Liu Tao instructed with a strict expression, "Other than that, check the marks on our ancestor's back every other day to see if there are any changes in them."
"Record down all the techniques you have felt earlier…"
After saying that, Liu Tao froze. The others were also shocked.
That was because they suddenly realized that just as they were about to write down the techniques they had felt earlier, they could no longer remember the flow of the techniques.
Their minds were blank!
It was as though their memories were forcefully erased.
"It cannot be recorded down on paper!"
"We can only figure it out ourselves and cannot pass it to others!"
"This must be the precautions taken by our Ancestor!"
The small group took a deep breath after saying those words. They were shocked and looked at Liu Fan's body with respect.
"Ancestor, you are indeed the Bulldozer that conquered the world. You have set up this precautionary measure some thousand years ago! This is so terrifying!"
"Yeah. Thinking about it now, I don't think the disappearance of the protective aura and the appearance of the marks on our ancestor's back is a coincidence. Our ancestor had specially prepared this for us!"
"Ancestor, you are so powerful and amazing!" the Elders exclaimed and fell on their knees.
They paid respect to Liu Fan and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Respect points +300."
"Respect points +400."
"Respect points +500."
…
Liu Fan was speechless in the coffin. 'Why didn't I know that I was so amazing as to have set up so many precautionary measures for the future generation?!'
"The god of destiny makes fools of the people!" Liu Fan exclaimed.
However, he was extremely happy when he saw the gain in respect points.
