What I teach you is real stuff.

Demon Ancestor.

Upon hearing this title, the expressions of many Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan changed, clearly lost in thought, as the name sounded very familiar.

Sure enough, a moment later, they all remembered.

Because of this name, he was once very famous among the Tianmo Luo clan.

Currently, there are six Quasi-Saints among the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, and behind each of them is a Saint-level expert.

But in reality, tens of thousands of years ago, the Tianmo Luo Clan did not only have that one Saint-level expert. At the same time as that Saint, there was another peerless genius whose potential and strength were even greater than that of the current Saint of the Tianmo Luo Clan.

His seniority was one generation higher than that of Feng Wu Laozu and others.

In terms of talent, which of these quasi-saints present is not exceptionally gifted? Which one of them who has cultivated to become a quasi-saint is not an ordinary person?

However, in front of this Demon Ancestor, any genius, or even the current saint, would be slightly inferior.

This Demon Ancestor was so talented that everyone thought he should be the first saint born in the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan.

However, back then he studied the Mara Death Scripture and gleaned a great deal of martial arts knowledge from it. He became obsessed with creating his own martial arts and establishing his own school.

Today, most of the martial arts and forbidden techniques of the Demon Clan originated from this ancestor.

The Black Soul Annihilation Palm technique that Lin Yan just practiced was a creation of this ancestor after he went astray in his cultivation. It is said that being half an era ahead of the world is genius, and being an entire era ahead of the world is madness. He went to such extremes in creating his own martial arts that he went astray and eventually couldn't get out of it.

It has been in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years, and there has been no news of it since.

Everyone thought that the Demon Ancestor was still in seclusion, but now the black figure that appeared claimed to be the Demon Ancestor. Only then did everyone realize that their Heavenly Demon Luo Clan's ancestor had died a long time ago.

A peerless genius with the potential to become a saint has now become a wisp of black remnant soul, residing in the body of a young boy from a branch lineage. It is truly lamentable.

After recognizing Ancestor Mo Sha, Feng Wu and his many Quasi-Saints from the Tianmo Luo Clan immediately paid their respects, not daring to be impolite in any way.

Because this Demon Ancestor made such great contributions to the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, and in terms of seniority, he was even the senior brother of the current Heavenly Demon Luo Clan's saint.

"Junior Feng Wu greets Senior Xuanzu!"

"Junior Uja greets Senior Ancestor!"

All the quasi-saints present bowed, a scene that left Lin Yan stunned.

Lin Yan had no idea before that the mysterious powerhouse residing in his body was actually the ancestor of their Heavenly Demon Luo Clan. Although Lin Yan knew his title before, because of his humble origins and being just a junior member of a branch of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, he could not possibly know the illustrious reputation of this Demon Ancestor in his prime.

After all, Demon Ancestor and he were not from the same era. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and now, how could the younger generation of the Demon Clan have ever heard of his name?

Demon Ancestor did not want to show himself in public. After all, he was once an unparalleled genius, someone on whom all the Tianmo Luo Clan placed their hopes, that he could become a saint and lead the Tianmo Luo Clan to glory.

But now, not only has he failed to become a saint, he has also died from demonic possession, leaving only a wisp of his soul. Even the Demon Ancestor himself felt that he had no words to face the elders of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, so he chose not to show himself.

Lin Yan was unaware of this. He had assumed that this Master Xuanzu had a grudge against a high-ranking member of the main branch of the Tianmo Luo Clan, but it turned out that was not the case.

Looking at the status of this Ancestor in the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, where even Quasi-Saints had to pay respects, Lin Yan finally understood why the Ancestor had confidently told him before he came that he should go ahead and snatch the bride, and that he would take responsibility if anything went wrong.

So they really did have that confidence.

Lin Yan dared to come and snatch the bride because he had the powerful Xuanzu backing him up. However, he did not expect that this powerful figure had such a strong background, which was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

However, at this moment, Demon Ancestor had no interest in paying attention to Feng Wu Ancestor and the others. In his eyes, Feng Wu Ancestor and the others were just juniors from back then.

The reason he made a public appearance this time was because of Lu Yuan's remarks.

Lu Yuan's words had indeed provoked him. The Demon Ancestor had perished because he had created and studied the cultivation method, which led to a mistake during his final cultivation, causing him to suffer a qi deviation and fall.

The martial arts and techniques he had painstakingly created were now considered worthless and detrimental to others' futures by Lu Yuan.

Undeniably, some of the martial arts and techniques he created were indeed a bit extreme, and the killing intent was indeed heavy. However, Lu Yuan was just a junior quasi-saint who had advanced to the later stages of cultivation. How could he have the confidence to comment on what he created?

This is equivalent to the Demon Ancestor being a founder of a sect who created his own martial arts, leaving behind countless self-created martial arts techniques throughout his life.

Just like Wang Xizhi leaving behind the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion, if the Demon Ancestor were dead today and couldn't hear Lu Yuan's words, that would be fine. But he was right there, and Lu Yuan was essentially belittling what the Demon Ancestor had created to nothing in front of him.

Moreover, Lin Yan was a disciple he had personally trained, like a personal disciple. Isn't this equivalent to slapping the teacher in the face in front of the disciple?
So the Demon Ancestor has come to hear Lu Yuan's insightful opinion. Does a mere Quasi-Saint possibly have any profound insights?
The Demon Ancestor was furious. He wanted to hear Lu Yuan's words properly and was determined to argue with him today.

Looking at the Demon Ancestor in front of him, Lu Yuan was delighted after learning from the Wind Wu Ancestor what kind of person this ancestor was.

Unexpectedly, he was one of the founding ancestors of the Tianmo Luo Clan.

After studying the Demon Luo Death Scripture, Lu Yuan felt even more that the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan's techniques were unfathomable, and he was looking for a top expert to discuss them with.

I never expected to encounter such a powerful figure as the Demon Ancestor, and I was even happier.

Lu Yuan was not afraid at all. Instead, he said, "This is not the place to talk. If Senior Ancestor wants to have a good chat with me about this cultivation technique, I have a cave with a pretty good environment. It is a perfect place to discuss the Dao. Please come with me, Senior Ancestor."

The Demon Ancestor before us is someone who has studied the Demonic Death Scripture to an extremely profound degree. His talent is also extremely high, reaching the point where he can apply what he has learned to other situations and create his own martial arts. It is evident that his talent and accumulation are both terrifying.

Since this ancestor was interested, Lu Yuan invited him to come with him so they could have a proper discussion.

Demon Ancestor had the same idea, so he followed Lu Yuan.

Only Feng Wu Ancestor, Wu Jia Ancestor, Lin Yan, Yun Luo Saintess and others were left standing there, not knowing how to end the situation, which was really awkward.

There's nothing you can do when you encounter two martial arts fanatics.

Lin Yan, in particular, came today to steal the bride, but he failed to steal her or fight. In the end, the bride didn't even care about the marriage. Halfway through the wedding, he went back to his cave to discuss the Dao with the Demon Ancestor.

Lin Yan: Am I being narrow-minded?

The most awkward one is Saintess Yunluo. She is considered one of the top female prodigies in the Tianmoluo Clan. In terms of appearance, she can be ranked among the top ten in the entire Outer Sea. She is the goddess in the hearts of countless young people of the Tianmoluo Clan.

Now Lin Yan is trying to steal her away, but she didn't agree. Instead, her husband ran off with someone else halfway through the wedding?
The most outrageous thing is that her husband ran away with the Demon Ancestor. What is this? She was forced into marriage by a man named Demon Ancestor?

Saintess Yunluo was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. Ancestor Fengwu and the others were also helpless.

This was the first time they had encountered such a situation, but there was nothing they could do, because they couldn't afford to offend the Demon Ancestor and the others. They could only wait until Lu Yuan and the other person finished their discussion.

This marriage alliance also ended hastily.

Lu Yuan led the Demon Ancestor into the cave to discuss the Dao. Lin Yan, who had stolen the bride, should have been punished, but because of the Demon Ancestor, no one dared to punish him.

The matter of marriage and succession can only be discussed after Lu Yuan and his companion emerge from seclusion.

Feng Wu Lao Zu had informed the sage of the Tianmo Luo Clan about this matter, and the sage's intention was to wait until Mo Sha Xuan Zu finished his discourse on the Dao before discussing it further.

The Sage was also very concerned about the situation of Demon Ancestor. After all, the two were fellow disciples, and he wanted to know what had happened. If possible, the Sage also wanted to help Demon Ancestor restore his physical body, so that their Heavenly Demon Luo Clan's number one prodigy could be resurrected.

In an instant, all eyes were focused on the area outside Lu Yuan Cave.

Lu Yuan's grotto-heaven, however, has been through a hundred years, a hundred years that have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan and Demon Ancestor have been discussing Dao in the secluded cave for a full hundred years, and there has been no further news during this time.

There was no fighting or any other movement inside; it was completely quiet.

None of the Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan knew what had happened inside, but no one dared to break in at this time, so they could only continue to wait.

During these hundred years, due to the marriage between Saintess Yunluo and Lu Yuan, the Yunluo branch to which Saintess Yunluo belonged also received massive resource support from the Tianmo Luo clan.

The Yunluo branch suddenly transformed from a weak branch into a powerful one, and the overall strength of the branch also increased dramatically.

This shows how much contribution Saintess Yunluo made to the entire branch.

Lin Yan also contacted Saintess Yunluo after that, but Saintess Yunluo avoided suspicion and only spoke a few words to him from afar each time. She also made it clear that the two of them had embarked on two different paths and that it would be better to keep their distance in the future.

Lin Yan also secretly observed Yun Luo. Over the past hundred years, he noticed that Yun Luo's smiles had increased, all of which stemmed from the strength of the Yun Luo branch behind her.

Yunluo was very happy about the growth of the family branch and the growth of its descendants. She also felt more and more that she had made the right choice in embarking on this path.

After a century, Lin Yan, who had always been unwilling to accept this situation, gradually calmed down.

He gradually realized that Yun Luo was no longer the same Yun Luo she used to be. She had indeed developed other pursuits, and perhaps he should also look forward and let go.

One hundred years later, on a certain day.

Within the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, at the location of Lu Yuan's grotto-heaven, the gate to the grotto-heaven suddenly opened, and laughter echoed from within.

Accompanied by laughter, a black soul emerged from within, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lu Yuan. It was none other than the Demon Ancestor who had been discussing the Dao with Lu Yuan.

After a century of discussion, the Demon Ancestor no longer displayed the anger he had shown when he first appeared. Now, he seemed extremely relaxed and even quite happy.

This bizarre scene startled many Quasi-Saints of the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan who rushed over upon hearing that Lu Yuan's Cave Heaven had opened.

These quasi-saints didn't understand that this Demon Ancestor had previously felt that Lu Yuan was making random comments about the martial arts and techniques he had created, and that he was not happy with Lu Yuan.

Why do they seem to be in such good spirits now that their discussion is over? Could it be that they've reconciled?

It's not impossible.

Ancestor Feng Wu asked, "Senior Ancestor Xuan, what about the two of you...?"

Feng Wu wanted to find out if the two of them had made a move inside the cave.

Demon Ancestor said, "It's alright. Senior Lu and I have been discussing the Dao in the cave for a hundred years and have had a very pleasant conversation. I was rash at first."

Feng Wu felt a sense of relief.

It's good that no fight broke out. What they were afraid of was that this Demon Ancestor would lose his temper and start fighting, and they wouldn't be able to stop him, given his seniority and status.

However, Feng Wu Lao Zu immediately realized what was happening.

Wait a minute!
What did this senior Xuanzu call Lu Yuan?
Senior Lu?
Old Master Feng Wu was drenched in sweat.

What kind of title is this? It's only been a hundred years since the discussions began, how come the title has changed?

Even they treated the Demon Ancestor as their junior, after all, the Demon Ancestor was of a very high seniority in the Heavenly Demon Luo Clan, and even the Saints were his junior brothers, so they, the Quasi-Saints, were naturally of even lower seniority.

But now this Demon Ancestor directly addresses Lu Yuan as "senior," so what kind of seniority is that?

Feng Wu, the old ancestor, felt his mind was a bit foggy and asked, "Senior Ancestor, you just addressed this Fellow Daoist Lu as 'senior'? What happened?"

What happened in the past hundred years? How did the generational order change?

The Demon Ancestor said, "I have been discussing the Dao with Senior Lu for a hundred years. Senior Lu's insights far surpass mine. He not only resolved my doubts on the path of cultivation for many years, but also revised all the forbidden martial arts techniques that I created back then. I admire him immensely."

Therefore, on the path of cultivation, those who have attained enlightenment are one's teachers. I originally intended to become a disciple of Senior Lu, but since he did not accept me, I can only address him as "senior" from now on.

Demon Ancestor was a typical martial arts fanatic, with a straightforward personality who said whatever came to mind.

He said he even wanted to become Lu Yuan's apprentice, but unfortunately Lu Yuan wouldn't accept him, so he could only address him as a senior.

Seeing the stunned expressions on the faces of Feng Wu Laozu and the other quasi-saints, Lu Yuan immediately offered an explanation.

In the past hundred years, I have only had in-depth discussions with this Demon Ancestor about some obscure things in the Mara Death Scripture.

He also improved all the martial arts techniques he had created back then, and after the improvements were completed, he received high praise and even admiration from the creator.

And so things turned out this way.

Simply put, Lu Yuan won over a young admirer with his knowledge and abilities.

The Demon Ancestor debated with him and was persuaded by Lu Yuan. (End of Chapter)
