What? He Was Patriarch Lin An's Grandfather?

Inside the mansion.

Li Yunshan and his four companions took their seats.

He Qingtang, the city lord of the Immortal Ninth Grade, was now serving tea and water to the five people with utmost respect, just like a servant.

In truth, He Qingtang was extremely excited.

It should be noted that there are only seven Eternal Realm experts in the entire Human Race, but apart from Ancestor Lin An and Ancestor Wu Tianshan, the other five are all here.

"If I were to tell anyone about this in the future, it would surely make other guys incredibly envious."

"And this mansion, its value is sure to go up in the future."

He Qingtang thought to himself that although he was serving tea and water, he felt extremely honored, as others did not have this opportunity.

"So you come from Domain, fellow Daoist. Your talent is truly monstrous; you've reached the Eternal Realm in just thirty years."

"By the way, speaking of which, our Human Race's ancestor Lin An also came from the Domain, and Lin An was equally monstrous. Not long after arriving in the Land of Rules, he also achieved the Eternal Realm."

"Since you also come from Domain, fellow Daoist, may I ask if you know Ancestor Lin An?"

After exchanging some information, Tang Rong asked with a smile.

After speaking, Tang Rong also picked up his teacup, took a sip, and waited for Li Yunshan's reply.

"We know each other, and we're quite familiar with each other." Li Yunshan nodded with a smile.

He Qingtang, standing to the side, had a strange expression. He was more than just familiar with him; if it weren't for Ancestor Li Yunshan, there wouldn't even be Ancestor Lin An.

"Oh? Could it be that Fellow Daoist Li and Ancestor Lin An are friends?" another person asked curiously.

If that's the case, then their attitude towards Li Yunshan will have to change; they'll at least be closer to him than before.

Their purpose in coming here was also to find out Li Yunshan's background.

After all, Li Yunshan had suddenly appeared, and although he was Human Race, they were not familiar with him.

"Yes, I am An'er's maternal grandfather," Li Yunshan.

puff...

Upon hearing this, Tang Rong, who was drinking tea, immediately spat it out. The other three were also stunned for a moment before their faces showed disbelief.

"Fellow Daoist, you... you said you are Lin An's maternal grandfather?" Tang Rong stood up abruptly and asked in shock.

"That's right, I am indeed An'er's maternal grandfather." Li Yunshan nodded.

At this moment, He Qingtang also spoke up.

"Reporting to the four elders, Elder Li is indeed Elder Lin An's maternal grandfather."

"Before Patriarch Lin An went into seclusion, he found me and asked me to guide his bloodline relatives."

He Qingtang cupped his hands and said, "Ancestor Li is an ancestor of Ancestor Lin An by blood."

Tang Rong and the other three looked at each other in bewilderment, and it took them a long time to come to their senses.

"So it's Senior Li. We greet you."

Then everyone bowed in unison.

They had already received favors from Lin An, and now that Li Yunshan was Lin An's maternal grandfather, they could no longer address each other as fellow Daoists.

"You're too kind, everyone. We can simply address each other as fellow Daoists."

Li Yunshan also stood up and said.

Everyone here is at the Eternal Realm, but his strength is actually much weaker, so calling him a senior is really inappropriate.

Ultimately, at Li Yunshan's insistence, they continued to address each other as fellow Daoists.

"Fellow Daoist Li, Ancestor Lin An has done us a great favor. If it weren't for the Origin Pill left by Ancestor Lin An, we would probably never have had the chance to reach the Eternal Realm in this lifetime."

"Yes, although we have all reached the Eternal Realm, Ancestor Lin An is still our ancestor."

"Fellow Daoist, you truly live up to your reputation as the maternal grandfather of Ancestor Lin An. You've only been in the Land of Rules for thirty years, yet you've already achieved the Eternal Realm. We are far inferior to you."

"..."

Hearing what the four said, Li Yunshan smiled and said, "You all don't need to belittle yourselves. In fact, the reason I was able to break through to the Eternal Realm was because of the Origin Pill left by An'er."

Tang Rong and the other three suddenly realized that they had thought that Lin An's maternal grandfather was also a prodigy who had broken through to the Eternal Realm on his own.

It turns out they were just like them, relying on the Origin Pill left behind by Ancestor Lin An.

They were right, how could such a monstrous being as Ancestor Lin An appear in so many forms?

At the same time, they also felt it was normal. Ancestor Lin An had already helped the Human Race cultivate five of them into the Eternal Realm experts, so cultivating one of their own relatives into the Eternal Realm expert was nothing special.

"Fellow Daoist has now broken through to the Eternal Realm. What are your plans for the future?" Tang Rong asked.

"I don't have any plans for now. Since An'er is in seclusion, I'll wait for him to return from the Human Race," Li Yunshan.

He originally thought that after thirty years of cultivation, he would be able to wait for Lin An to emerge from seclusion, but he did not expect that he had already broken through to the Eternal Realm while Lin An was still in seclusion.

He didn't have any specific goals, so he stayed among the Human Race and waited for Lin An to return.

"In that case, Fellow Daoist, why don't you come back to the Human Race Holy Land with us? This will also let the Council of Elders know of your existence, and from now on, you can become an Ancestor of the Human Race, just like us, to protect the Human Race," Tang Rong said.

That's fine too.

Li Yunshan nodded. He didn't know what to do either, so he decided to go and check out the Human Race Holy Land first.

The group then left Fire Firmament City and quickly returned to the Human Race Holy Land.

Upon arrival, Xiao Wanjun and others were already there, and Wu Tianshan had also returned.

"This must be Fellow Daoist Li. I am Wu Tianshan. Congratulations on achieving Eternal," Wu Tianshan said with a smile as he stepped forward.

Li Yunshan smiled and returned the greeting, thus establishing their acquaintance.

"Everyone, let me introduce him. This fellow Daoist Li Yunshan came to the Land of Rules from the Domain thirty years ago and has now achieved the Eternal Realm."

Tang Rong stepped forward and said with a smile, "Besides, this Fellow Li Yunshan is also a blood relative of Ancestor Lin An; he is Ancestor Lin An's maternal grandfather."

When this identity was revealed, everyone present was stunned, even Wu Tianshan was somewhat taken aback.

"Fellow Daoist, are you Lin An's maternal grandfather?" Wu Tianshan asked in surprise.

"That's true. If An'er hadn't prepared the Origin Pill for me, I wouldn't have been able to break through to the Eternal Realm so quickly." Li Yunshan nodded with a smile.

Upon Li Yunshan's confirmation, everyone's gaze towards him changed.

They initially felt somewhat wary of Li Yunshan because they were unfamiliar with him and didn't know much about his character.

But upon learning that the other party was actually Lin An's maternal grandfather, things changed completely.

How could Lin An's maternal grandfather be of bad character!

For a moment, everyone looked at Li Yunshan with eyes full of closeness and trust.

"So it's Senior Li. We greet you."

Wu Tianshan bowed again; this was Lin An's maternal grandfather, and he should show respect as a junior.

This has nothing to do with spiritual level.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, there's no need for that. We can just address each other as fellow Daoists; otherwise, it would be too formal," Li Yunshan.

Seeing the sincerity in the other party's words, Wu Tianshan immediately nodded in agreement.

"This is a joyous occasion; we should celebrate it properly," Wu Tianshan.
