Slay the Martial Ancestor?

The Seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles rose with soaring divine light at the same time and merged into one, breaking through space. Such a magnificent scene was immediately noticed by all living beings in the Qiongqi Realm.

They looked up at the sky, their eyes reflecting the terrifying spatial vortex, and a strange feeling rose in their hearts, as if a great being was descending across boundless space and time.

"What's going on? Why is the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele emitting a soaring divine light? Immediately send people to investigate!"

The leaders of many powerful forces all wore solemn expressions. After giving an order, they immediately used their Communication Law Treasure to contact the Tianwu Sect and inquire about the situation.

However, at this time, the Tianwu Sect was also in complete chaos and had no time to answer their questions.

The elders and heads of the Five Great Lineage gathered together, each with an uneasy expression, some even looking solemn.

The Tianwu Sect Master is Tie Cangliu, the Tie Clan Chief. He is extremely tall and strong, with an exceptionally domineering aura. When he sits there, he is like an iron mountain standing in the sky, extremely majestic.

Tie Cangliu surveyed the crowd below, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele is radiating divine light into the sky; you should all know why."

"Sect Master, can the Martial Ancestor truly descend to the mortal realm?" an old man asked tremulously, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

However, Tie Cangliu dared not be negligent, as this person was his Great-Uncle, who was nearly three thousand years old.

The Tianwu Sect has many such immortal old men who usually appear to be on their deathbeds, but in reality, they all use Secret Methods to seal their Qi and Blood and prolong their lives.

Once they really start fighting, they'll be incredibly fierce.

However, when they unleash their full power, their Blood Qi surge uncontrollably, and that is their death.

Therefore, these highly accomplished individuals usually hide deep within their sects, cultivating in seclusion and ignoring worldly affairs. They only reveal themselves when their sects are facing life-or-death crises.

If the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele hadn't emitted a soaring divine light, they wouldn't have come out.

As the old man finished speaking, all eyes in the hall focused on Tie Cangliu. The heavy pressure contained within made even this usually ruthless, domineering, and uncompromising sect leader hesitate slightly.

But since things had come to this point, the truth had to be revealed. So he nodded slightly and said, "According to the oral tradition of the sect, when the Martial Ancestor ascended to the upper realm, he left behind a saying: 'The day the divine light of the Heavenly Stele soars into the sky will be the day he descends to the lower realm again.'"

"Time flies, and sixty thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The Martial Ancestor has yet to descend to the mortal realm, and since he left behind neither Soul Lamp nor Soul Jade, and his fate remains unknown, this matter has gradually faded from memory."

"Now, as divine light soars into the heavens, it has only now that our sect has suddenly remembered this matter..."

Upon receiving the affirmation of the Tianwu Sect Master, many of the Tianwu Sect's high-ranking members were overjoyed. The old man surnamed Tie who had spoken earlier even knelt on the ground, piously saying, "The Martial Ancestor has descended to the mortal realm; Tianyou our sect! Our Martial Dao lineage will surely Flourishing once again!"

However, some people wore forced smiles on their faces.

Upon closer inspection, Tie Cangliu was also among them.

Chu Yun, the Chu Clan Chief, spoke slowly, his expression complex, "Everyone, the Martial Ancestor's descent to the mortal realm is naturally a great blessing for the Martial Dao lineage, but for our Five Great Lineage, it's not necessarily a good thing..."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of many high-ranking members of the Tianwu Sect, sending chills down their spines.

Yes, ever since the Five Great Lineage monopolized the Tianwu Sect, the Martial Dao of the Qiongqi Realm has gradually declined. The root cause is that the Five Great Lineage are too domineering, and those who obey them prosper while those who oppose them perish.

They control numerous Martial Dao classics, Cultivation Method, Divine Abilities, Apertures locations, and so on. Other Martial Cultivator who wish to learn from them must marry into one of their families and join Five Great Lineage.

Managing Martial Cultivator from Different Surname is like managing cattle and horses. Over time, the Five Great Lineage have become a malignant tumor hindering the development of Martial Dao in the Qiongqi Realm.

If the Martial Ancestor were to actually descend to the mortal realm and witness such a situation, it's hard to say whether he would slap them to death.

After all, legend has it that he had quite a temper.

"What, what should we do?"

It was the same old man surnamed Tie as before, but this time, he was completely devoid of his fanatical demeanor. His sallow and withered face was now deathly pale, with a hint of ferocity lurking beneath the surface.

"Even if an immortal descends to the mortal realm, they shouldn't be invincible, right?" the Ye family patriarch said with a ruthless expression.

The elders of the Five Great Lineage's expressions changed slightly. Most of them were actually tempted, while only a few showed struggle in their eyes, but they did not stop them.

Time can wash everything away. Sixty thousand years have passed, and those who were loyal to the Martial Ancestor back then have long since turned to dust.

Although their descendants still respect the Martial Ancestor, if they were to choose between their Lineage and the Martial Ancestor, 99% of them would choose the former.

Under such circumstances, killing the ancestor of Martial Dao seems to be nothing special to them.
