Ancestral teaching: When encountering someone resembling a stone statue, kneel!

The voice of Luo Yao’Er echoed softly, leaving the bar shrouded in complete silence.

The scene’s geniuses from Luo City widened their eyes.

Luo Yao’Er is the top talent of Luo City, and a specially recruited student at the Celestial Martial Academy!

She is also the purest and most sacred woman in the hearts of Luo City’s geniuses.

Yet, she knelt before Ye Qingtian from the Mortal World.

This... cannot be true!

After a moment of dead silence, the scene erupted in an uproar.

Everyone thought they were seeing things; it was hard to believe.

Especially Ouyang Lin, whose mouth hung open and face turned pale.

Luo Yao’Er was the goddess unreachable in his heart; she was exalted, like a fairy.

Yet she knelt before Ye Qingtian; it was simply unbelievable.

Once, he paid a heavy price for a smile from the goddess.

But now?

Ye Qingtian simply spoke casually, and Luo Yao’Er knelt on the ground without hesitation, with a devout expression, as if worshiping a divine spirit.

It was simply inconceivable!

After a brief silence, the bar was filled with a booming clamor!

Every face of the geniuses from Luo City was full of astonishment, shock, and disbelief!

Some even thought they were dreaming and pinched themselves, only to be even more shocked when they realized they weren’t dreaming.

However, at this moment, Luo Yao’Er paid no mind to the gaze of the geniuses; she bit her red lips and her face was streaming with tears.

"My Luo Family became one of the Seven Great Ancient Clans of the Hidden Sect, famed through eternity, all thanks to your grace. After a thousand years, we finally reunite with our benefactor; the Luo Family will die without regret in this life!"

Then, Luo Yao’Er continued to kneel, as if worshiping an immortal.

Seeing this scene, everyone was speechless with shock.

The grand Luo Family, once one of the seven great ancient clans, was it indeed created single-handedly by Ye Qingtian?

Benefactor!

Ye Qingtian turned out to be the benefactor and master of the Luo Family!

This is simply a myth!

The geniuses gasped, speechless in shock.

However, Ye Qingtian ignored everyone’s shock, spreading his hands open with a chant: "Netherworld Forbidden Technique!"

For the first time in his life, Ye Qingtian performed the Netherworld Forbidden Technique.

The Netherworld Forbidden Technique is akin to meditation, where an instant can encompass ages, and the universe upturned.

However, Ye Qingtian was only wielding a basic Netherworld Forbidden Technique, able only to summon things through meditation.

Soon, two stone statues appeared in the bar.

Is this magic?

Where did these two stone statues come from?

The geniuses present were shocked.

At this moment, Luo Yao’Er stared wide-eyed, with her mouth agape.

"These... aren’t these the statues from the secret room at home? How could they suddenly appear here?"

These two stone statues were treasured by the Luo Family, with ancestral teachings commanding them to protect it for generations.

Over the years, the Luo Family members sensed some secret within these two stone statues, but none could unlock it.

Now, Luo Yao’Er seemed to understand something, her shocked expression gradually replaced by anticipation and joy.

Ye Qingtian said nothing as he snapped his fingers, and soon the void turned ink-black.

A glowing "King" character appeared in the sky.

Then he forcefully pressed this character into the ancestor’s stone statue of Luo Yao’Er.

Boom!

A muffled sound echoed, followed by a crack.

In the blink of an eye, the outer layer of the statue had shattered completely.

"The outer layer is a forbidden technique; someone tampered with the statue. It was originally a statue of soul inheritance."

"After hundreds of years of sealing, maybe only a trace of soul remains."

Ye Qingtian sighed slightly, his palm gently covering the statue.

A surge of spiritual qi seeped inside.

Boom!

An unforeseen change occurred!

The statue came to life, with bloodshot eyes emanating a dazzling light.

The living statue had a resolute appearance and distinct features, with countless scars, resembling a Nine Nether Demon!

At this moment, Luo Yao’Er trembled fiercely.

"Ancestor!!!"

The statue nodded, and upon seeing Ye Qingtian, it knelt down with a thud.

"Master, is it you, Master? After hundreds of years, I have finally waited for you."

Ye Qingtian’s brow furrowed slightly, recognizing it as the remnant soul of the true form.

"Who are you? And who am I?" Ye Qingtian asked.

"I am the Lord of the Demon Realm, Luo Demon Lord. You... you... I can’t remember who you are, but I know you are my master."

The statue replied.

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent; the people from the Hidden Sect naturally heard of the legend of Luo Demon Lord!

He was a demon famed throughout the universe, pushing aside the sun, moon, and stars, controlling the creations of heaven and earth!

"Demon Lord? That refugee mentioned I was a candidate for Demon Lord, but now the Demon Lord is my slave?"

"Could it be they want to recreate Demon Lord’s past glory and found a substitute?"

Ye Qingtian’s mind was momentarily perplexed.

"Luo Demon Lord, why is your remnant soul in this statue, where is your true form?"

Ye Qingtian inquired.

The statue sighed, "Master, to be honest, I only remember the last moment of life, when I faced an unprecedented battle."

Luo Demon Lord spoke slowly.

One could almost feel the brutality of that battle and imagine Luo Demon Lord covered in blood.

Gradually, Luo Demon Lord’s tone became a bit sorrowful: "In the end of the battle, I couldn’t go on, though I finally unearthed the shocking secret, that Earth is indeed the burial ground for demons of all ages..."

"I’m powerless, unable to serve by Master’s side anymore, unable to share the burdens, unable to fight alongside my brothers, never again..."

As he spoke, a tear silently fell, filled with endless demonic qi.

As he spoke, one could feel his deep sense of unwillingness.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yao’Er’s eyes grew red, unexpected that her ancestor had fallen with such honors.

However, the ancestor did not mention whom he battled with; what divine being could have inflicted such grave injuries on the renowned Luo Demon Lord and caused his death?

Suddenly, the statue became still, its voice ceasing.

Using the same method, Ye Qingtian tried to make the other statue speak, but unfortunately, it left no information behind.

Shaking his head, Ye Qingtian used the Netherworld Forbidden Technique to move the two statues back to Luo Yao’Er’s home.

Yet in his heart lingered a doubt: what did Luo Demon Lord discover on Earth back then?

What is the ancient burial ground for demons he mentioned?

"The legend of Luo Demon Lord is indeed true!"

A wealthy young genius from Luo City widened his eyes, filled with disbelief.

His companions began to discuss fervently.

"Looks like the rumor is true, this world not only has kings, gods, but also demons!"

"But who has the power to kill Luo Demon Lord?"

"A cosmic powerhouse famed in eight wildernesses, how formidable must his master be?"

Then, everyone turned to look at Ye Qingtian in unison.

Earlier, Luo Demon Lord had knelt before Ye Qingtian; could it be...?

Everyone fell into dead silence, a shocking idea suddenly arising in all their minds.

At this moment, the bar turned deathly silent.

Everyone’s eyes contained nothing but terror.
