Qin Fengming's Path of Runes had originally been taught to him by Ancestor Daoyan. Although he had not formally taken him as his master, he had still inherited Ancestor Daoyan's complete legacy.
What was more, he had personally received Ancestor Daoyan's guidance.
Although that guidance had lasted only a very short time, Ancestor Daoyan had once said that he had never taken on a disciple in the Spirit Realm. Since Qin Fengming had received his personal guidance, he could fully be considered a direct-line disciple.
However, he was not the only one. In that Ghost Realm, Ancestor Daoyan had once guided more than a dozen cultivators.
Those cultivators had all passed Ancestor Daoyan's trials. However, Qin Fengming did not know whether they had ascended to the upper realm.
In fact, even if they had ascended to the upper realm, given the nature of Ghost Realm cultivators, they would probably have chosen to enter the True Ghost Realm.
The chances of Qin Fengming encountering those cultivators were truly slim.
He had promised Ancestor Daoyan that once he possessed sufficient strength, he would fulfill his request. Now, although he had gained the possibility of completing it, his own strength was still somewhat lacking.
Thus, he had not truly placed Ancestor Daoyan's request first in his priorities.
However, when he heard Lin Tao suddenly mention Ancestor Daoyan, his heart stirred. After swiftly considering the matter, he asked, "Senior Lin, may I ask whether that Ancestor Daoyan was the supreme expert of the Path of Runes from the Black Swallow Clan?"
"Indeed. Other than that existence, who else would dare call himself Ancestor Daoyan?"
Hearing Lin Tao confirm it, Qin Fengming's expression darkened slightly. He asked again, "Please forgive this junior's ignorance, but may I ask what realm that Ancestor Daoyan had reached?"
