I Became an Ancestor? Unbelievable
Upon hearing Liu Wei's words, everyone present frowned slightly, worried that he was being too eager for quick results.
Li Tong looked at her son with worry in her eyes. "Wei'er, cultivation cannot be rushed. Don't be impatient for quick results. If something goes wrong, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
Liu Jun, standing nearby, also advised, "Second brother, listen to your mother. Don't do anything foolish. There are plenty of women in the world; why be hung up on just one?"
Once your cultivation level is high enough, what kind of woman won't you have? Just like your elder brother, I've already married three wives and am doing my part to continue the Liu Household line...
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Let go, madam!
Before he could finish speaking, his face contorted in pain, and he grimaced.
It turned out that his wife, Su Chun, was furious when she saw his smug look, so she reached out and pinched his waist.
The commotion caused by Liu Jun and his wife made everyone in the room burst into laughter, and the previously tense atmosphere dissipated considerably.
Seeing the concern on everyone's faces, Liu Wei quickly comforted them:
"Don't worry, everyone, I won't rush things. I know that as long as you're alive, there's hope."
As for my marriage with Yufei, we can just wait a few more years; it's no big deal.
Anyway, we are all cultivators now, and we have a long lifespan, so there's no rush.
"When my cultivation level increases in the future, all difficulties will naturally cease to be problems."
Looking at his grandson's sensible nature, Liu Hai felt both gratified and heartbroken, and sighed:
"Sigh, Xiao Wei, you're a good kid. It's just that our Liu Household couldn't help you more."
He paused, then suddenly said with a hint of pride:
"Actually, our Liu Household also has a powerful ancestor. If we could contact him, the Lin Household would be utterly insignificant compared to our Liu Household."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, their faces filled with disbelief, all thinking that Liu Hai had made a mistake.
Liu Jing looked at his father anxiously, "Dad! Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Hai glared at him. "Your father is doing just fine! I've now cultivated to the Peak of the Divine Sea Realm."
Even if they can't break through to the Dao Seed Realm, they still have twenty or thirty years to live well, and they won't get dementia.
What I just said is true; our Liu Household does indeed have an ancestor, and he was an extremely powerful being.
He had been back to the Liu Household before; Xiao Jun and Xiao Wei had both met him when they were children.
He also left us some money so that I could train them well.
Seeing how serious Liu Hai was, the others began to believe that what he had just said might be true.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other in surprise, none of them having expected that the Liu Household still had an ancestor.
Liu Jing asked with a face full of curiosity, "Dad, how come I don't know anything about this? When did it happen?"
Liu Hai explained, "You were working in the fields at the time; it was just me, Xiao Jun, and Xiao Wei at home."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jun and Liu Wei both frowned and began to recall.
Suddenly, Liu Jun exclaimed, "That really happened! My second brother and I were playing under the jujube tree at the time!"
Grandpa, you're not talking about him, are you? This is unbelievable!
Liu Wei slowly recalled the events, his face also filled with disbelief:
"This... this... Grandpa, you're not mistaken, are you? That peerless figure, is he really our Liu Household's ancestor?"
Seeing Liu Jun and Liu Wei's shocked expressions, Liu Jing, Li Tong, and Su Chun were filled with curiosity.
Liu Jing couldn't help but press, "Dad, who exactly is this ancestor you're talking about? Why are Xiao Jun and Xiao Wei reacting so strongly?"
Liu Hai did not immediately respond to Liu Jing, but instead instructed Liu Wei:
"Xiao Wei, set up an array to completely isolate this hall."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Liu Wei responded, his hands quickly forming a hand seal, and beams of spiritual light shot out from his fingertips, landing around the hall.
In an instant, a curtain of light enveloped the entire hall.
Seeing Liu Hai's caution, Liu Jing and the other two became even more curious.
Liu Hai looked at the three people's curious expressions, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:
"Our Liu Household's ancestor was actually my great-grandfather's younger brother. According to seniority, I should call him my great-uncle."
You should all know his name, it's Liu Yi.
"Ah!"
Liu Jing and the other two were stunned at first, then exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Liu Jing was the first to regain his senses and said somewhat anxiously, "Father, are you not confused? Are you talking about Liu Yi, the one we're thinking of?"
How could our family possibly have any connection with Liu Yi?
He's a powerful figure capable of killing Void Return Realm cultivator in two moves, how could he possibly be connected to the Liu Household in our small mountain village?"
Li Tong added, "Father-in-law, although our family wants to find a powerful backer to solve our current problems, we can't just rely on anyone."
Liu Hai explained, "I'm not senile yet. All signs indicate that Liu Yi is my great-great-uncle."
When I was a child, my grandfather told me that my great-grandfather's younger brother had gone to cultivate immortality in his early years. But I didn't take it seriously at the time, since my great-uncle hadn't shown up for so many years.
About fifty years ago, Liu Yi suddenly appeared at my doorstep, gave me a bag of money, and said that he had known my great-grandfather for many years and had come to repay a favor.
He also specifically instructed me to take good care of Liu Jun and Liu Wei.
Later I discovered that people were always offering sacrifices at the graves of my great-grandfather and his parents near the ancestral graves.
This had been going on for several years in a row, and I vaguely guessed that it might be him, but at that time I didn't know his Liu Yi, and I didn't think too deeply about it being my great-uncle.
Later, his name spread, and it was revealed that he had once cultivated immortality at the Heavenly Revelation Sect.
After comparing all the previous signs, I was finally certain that he was indeed my great-great-uncle.
Those present were stunned, never expecting such a secret to exist.
Liu Jing still couldn't believe it. How could his family, just an ordinary family in a small mountain village, be involved with Liu Yi?
"Father, are you sure you're not mistaken? Perhaps that great-uncle just happens to share the same name as Liu Yi, but they're not the same person at all."
Otherwise, why hasn't he contacted us for so many years?
Liu Jun couldn't help but interject, "Dad, don't overthink it. What Grandpa said is probably true."
He might not contact us because he's protecting us.
"Think about it, he was wanted by the Pure Void Sect recently. If people find out about our relationship with him, do you think we'll have a good ending?"
Liu Wei nodded in agreement, "Father, Liu Yi should be the ancestor of our Liu Household."
This matter is of utmost importance and must not be known to outsiders, otherwise it will not benefit us or our ancestor.
Looking at the unwavering expressions on his father's and two sons' faces, Liu Jing had no choice but to accept this absurd yet true situation, and said with a mixture of shock and worry:
Even if Liu Yi really is our ancestor, so many generations have passed, the relationship has long faded.
We have no idea what he thinks of us, whether he still considers us family, and more importantly, we have absolutely no way to contact him.
Liu Hai shook his head. "What you said makes sense, but before my great-uncle left Green Mountain Town, he came to pay respects at my great-grandfather's and his parents' graves every year."
He even sent us money, which shows that he still somewhat approves of this kinship.
Unfortunately, it's impossible to contact him now.
He paused, then solemnly instructed, "No matter what, our relationship with him must never be exposed to outsiders."
After all, while his great-uncle's enemies couldn't do anything to him, they could easily deal with us.
"Yes!"
Everyone present nodded solemnly in agreement.
This concerns the lives of the entire family; it's not something to be taken lightly.
