Ancestor, Watch Over Me

Chapter 933



    Ten years have passed.

    The old ancestors understood the innate gods’ rules of slaying the gods, hidden in the eyes, and can kill the enemy in one glance, greatly increasing the combat power.

    At the same time, he was finally determined.

    “This kind of innate god is unique. I gave it to me, and I can’t copy it.”

    Liu Fan sighed, feeling owed a lot, only to feed it a lot on weekdays to let it break out of the shell as soon as possible.

    “Huh~”

    Liu Fan flipped his palm, a whirlpool appeared in his palm, and the power of time and space was mighty.

    This is the opening of the purgatory space.

    “Shoo…” Streams of

    light flew out of purgatory and landed in the hall.

    “Meet the ancestors!” The

    crowd shouted in unison, kneeling and kowtow.

    It seemed that it was Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, Liu Wuhai, Liu Liuhai, Yang Shouan, Liu Yangyang, Liu Dongdong and Liu Xiaoxiao, as well as five monsters including the spider monster Bai Yaoji.

    Ten years outside, one hundred thousand years in purgatory space.

    Inside is endless killing, bloody and dark.

    They kept fighting and fighting. After 100,000 years of life and death, they are now full of evil spirits, their cultivation base has greatly increased, and their auras are extremely powerful.

    Liu Fan glanced over and smiled.

    “The sea, the Yangyang, and the Xiaoxiao are all in the early stage of the king, the five seas and the six seas, the king is great, the second sea…well… you finally cultivate to the longevity, it is not easy!”

    Liu Fan sighed, Liu Erhai blushed and was ashamed.

    In the purgatory space, Liu Fan specially arranged for Liu Erhai an area suitable for his cultivation.

    But Liu Erhai’s repair is still serious.

    Liu Fan couldn’t figure it out either. He wasn’t too partial. Why did his descendants cultivate so slowly?

    If it weren’t for the return of blood before, this guy probably still stayed in the too virtual realm.

    “Er Hai is ashamed of the cultivation of his ancestors!” Liu Erhai kowtowed, feeling a little uncomfortable.

    Liu Fan got up, helped him up, and touched his head and said: “You are all good children of the ancestor, you are very good!”

    “Look at our Liu family’s current son-in-law, and then look at our current Liu family’s son-in-law. Relatives, relatives, have stretched the entire longevity world, and you have done a lot, and your ancestors can see it.”

    Liu Erhai immediately glowed after hearing this, and smiled happily.

    Liu Fan looked at Yang Shou’an again, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and said: “Shou’an, it’s great. One hundred thousand years ago, he was promoted from the late Stars to the Dacheng King, and he caught up with the Five Seas and Six Seas. Very good, very good!” The

    ancestors used adjectives such as “very good, very good”, and Yang Shouan was excited and happy to hear it.

    At the same time, he was secretly shocked.

    He had hidden his cultivation base aura with a cunning heart, but was still seen through by the ancestor.

    Old ancestor, really strong!

    Cunning heart can’t stop the eyes of the ancestors.

    next to.

    Liu Wuhai, Liu Liuhai and the others were surprised to hear that Yang Shouan had also cultivated to become the Great King.

    Because among the crowd, only Yang Shouan and Liu Dongdong’s cultivation bases, they couldn’t see through.

    But they took it for granted that Yang Shouan and Liu Dongdong should have used some kind of secret method, but they didn’t expect that Yang Shouan had also cultivated to become a great king.

    “It’s all ancestors who have good religion, and their children and grandchildren can have one ten thousandth of the ancestor’s.”

    Yang Shouan kowtows.

    Liu Fan smiled slightly, staring at Yang Shouan’s heart with deep eyes.

    “Can you control the sly heart?”

    Yang Shouan replied: “Basically it can be controlled, but sometimes it gets out of control. The evil power is very terrifying.”

    Liu Fan nodded and pondered for a moment: “This sly heart, I want to come. It’s not something from our cage world, it probably comes from the 36th realm of the outer sky outside the cage.”

    “The 36th realm from the outer sky?!” Yang Shouan’s eyes widened in surprise.

    Liu Dahai and the others could not help being surprised secretly.

    Liu Fan said: “Yes, so you have to control this sly mind as soon as possible, and you can’t be affected by it.”

    “In addition, make time for a trip to the Asura clan. Since this sly intent comes from the sky, what about the Asura clan? Get this sly heart?”

    Liu Fan said, his eyes were a little cold.

    Yang Shouan noticed the change in the eyes of the ancestors, and his heart shrank, and he remembered the matter in his heart.

    At this moment.

    Liu Fan’s gaze fell on Liu Dongdong, who was always standing beside him and looked very quiet.

    “Dongdong!” Liu Fan smiled.

    “The children and grandchildren are here, ancestors!” Liu Dongdong bowed back, with a respectful look.

    “In front of the ancestors, don’t pretend, let go of your cultivation base, let everyone feel it!” Liu Fan said with a smile.

    “Yes!” Liu Dongdong nodded, then let go of his breath.

    The “Boom”

    void collapsed suddenly and turned into a black hole, with a terrifying aura, and fragments of law and order flying in chaos.

    The three kings of Liu Yangyang, Liu Xiaoxiao and Liu Dahai were directly swept away in the early days.

    Liu Liuhai stepped back five steps before standing still.

    Both Liu Wuhai and Yang Shouan only took three steps back and stood firm.

    The three of them are the cultivation realm of the Dacheng Kings, but the difference in strength is instantly revealed.

    Perceiving this scene, Liu Liuhai’s expression was embarrassed and complicated.

    Liu Wuhai and Yang Shouan looked at each other, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes, and they were obviously surprised by the strength of each other.

    But soon, their attention returned to Liu Dongdong.

    Because of Liu Dongdong’s cultivation base aura, they actually forced these great masters to retreat, which is simply incredible.

    “Dongdong, what is the cultivation base?!” Liu Liuhai asked in surprise.

    Liu Wuhai said in surprise: “Dongdong’s cultivation base aura is a bit similar to Master Huang. Could it be that Dongdong is already a half-step emperor?!”

    “Half-step emperor?! Wori! How can Dongdong cultivate so much? Come on?” Liu Liuhai was shocked.

    Neither Liu Yangyang nor Liu Xiaoxiao could calm down.

    For a long time, the three of them were all known as the Three Masters of Liu Family.

    Even if the Liu family later created the goddess and goddess in order to build momentum, in the eyes of many older generations of the Liu family, the only three of the Liu family’s three masters were Liu Dongdong, Liu Yangyang and Liu Xiaoxiao.

    “Dongdong, what is your cultivation level?” Liu Yangyang asked, looking nervous.

    Liu Dongdong smiled and replied: “. Prop blessing of our ancestors, I just cut to half a step royal”

    ! “Ah -“

    Liu Yang Yang was completely spent.

    He thought that he was already very fast in his cultivation to the early stage of the king, but he did not expect Liu Dongdong to step into the emperor’s way.

    He clearly remembered that before entering the purgatory space, Liu Dongdong was just the pinnacle of the longevity heaven, and at that time, he had already cultivated to the star-level heaven gate with the great elder.

    In purgatory space for 100,000 years, how can Liu Dongdong cross two great realms and set foot on the emperor’s way?

    This is incredible, like a dream.

    The rest of the people were all dull, the eyes of the collective envy were red, and the jealous chickens were purple.

    Liu Xiaoxiao said with a jealous and jealous expression: “Dongdong, showdown, are you taking drugs?!”

    “And what you are taking is a peculiar treasure that exceeds the town clan-level magical medicine?” Liu Yangyang added, full Face doubt and jealousy.

    Neither of them believed that Liu Dongdong could cultivate so fast by himself, otherwise, why was he not much different from them in the previous cultivation level?

    Liu Fan sat above the hall, smiling and not speaking.

    Liu Dongdong saw that everyone was looking at him, and his ancestors were also smiling at him.

    Liu Dongdong scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled: “Yes, the reason why I practice so fast is indeed because of foreign objects!”

    Liu Yangyang and Liu Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up.

    Sure enough, Liu Dongdong is not relying on himself, he must be taking drugs.

    Liu Dahai, Liu Liuhai and others couldn’t help but sighed.

    At this moment.

    Liu Dongdong continued: “I rely on foreign objects, but I basically don’t take drugs, I rely on it—” He

    said, waved his hand, his body flashed, and a god chicken appeared on his shoulder, all gold Color scales.

    “Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~” The

    sacred chicken flapped its wings and cried, with a penetrating voice.

    Moreover, its body actually exudes the aura of a golden level heavenly gate, but at the same time, this cultivation aura is extremely mottled and has a strong medicinal fragrance.

    In the fragrance of the medicine, there was the smell of the town clan-level magic medicine, and the three-inch cucumber slices.

    Obviously, it took a lot of magic medicine, including eating cucumber slices, and town clan-level magic medicine.

    It’s cultivation base is the drug.

    Seeing a group of people in the main hall, the sacred chicken couldn’t help but stunned, and then saw the old ancestor sitting on it, and was so scared that he almost fell off Liu Dongdong’s shoulders.

    “Old…old ancestors?!”

    “Oh oh oh, good old ancestors , the golden fighting chicken in the rooster greets the ancestors, the ancestors are auspicious!” The

    sacred chicken lay down, two wings on On the ground, the chicken’s head hit the ground, making a kowtow shape, looking nondescript, Liu Fan couldn’t help but smile.

    Everyone in the hall also laughed.

    At the same time, he suddenly realized.

    “The reason why Dongdong can cultivate so fast is that he brought this sacred chicken into the purgatory space!” Liu Dahai smiled.

    “The sacred chicken cries, Dongdong has an epiphany, this one is hanging, it is too big, hahaha…”

    “Yeah, smell the chicken and dance, Dongdong, really have you, feed the chicken with the magic medicine, and use the gods The chicken is here to help you cultivate, you are really a clever ghost!” Liu Wuhai also smiled.

    Liu Liuhai was also laughing, but his heart was complicated.

    I don’t know if it’s because Liu Dongdong is Liu Tao’s son, or because his son, Emperor Blood River, is not up to date.

    In short, at this moment he really wanted to draw his son, Emperor Blood River.

    Yang Shouan patted Liu Dongdong on the shoulder, looked at the chicken again, and smiled: “Yes, Dongdong, you are amazing, very smart, and very hardworking.”

    “Even though the chicken can help you realize your epiphany and practice, you can have the present Your cultivation base is also inseparable from your efforts. I believe the old patriarch would be very happy if he knew that you were so

    upright .” Yang Shouan said Liu Dongdong was extremely comfortable.

    Liu Fan also laughed very agreeably, and said, “Shou’an is right. This is the truth.”

    “You are all practicing in the purgatory space of your ancestor. My ancestor, I will often spy on you like some group masters.

    ” I found that the hardest cultivator is Dongdong!”

    A group of children and grandchildren bowed their heads in shame.

    They reflect on their cultivation process in the purgatory space. Indeed, one hundred thousand years of hard cultivation is very boring, and they have been slack for a while.

    Especially Liu Dahai.

    During the cultivation, I found that the elder of the Great Xia Kingdom didn’t know when to possess him, and actually wanted to seize him, was killed by him by the way, and spent time cultivating the elder’s magical powers and secret techniques.

    “It’s the same sentence, time will witness everything, Dongdong, there is the appearance of the ancestor! Maybe the second emperor of our Liu family in the future is Dongdong!”

    Liu Fan sighed, and deliberately stimulated the other descendants.

    Sure enough, as soon as these words fell, a group of children and grandchildren all blushed, pursed their mouths and gritted their teeth, vowing in their hearts to work harder and harder.

    Liu Fan looked at the five monsters behind Yang Shouan.

    “Very well, I have practiced to the early stage of the Star Yao-class Tianmen, and they are considered qualified.” Liu Fan smiled.

    The spider monster Hei Tailang and other five monsters kowped their heads excitedly, thanking the emperor for his approval.

    Liu Fan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: “Ten years ago, my ancestor said that the person who made the most progress in this practice will be rewarded by my ancestor. Now, it’s time to fulfill his promise!”

    “Dongdong, speak, want What reward?!”

    Everyone showed envy and looked at Liu Dongdong one after another, all curious, wondering what gift Liu Dongdong would ask for his ancestor.

    Liu Dongdong also thought about it.

    In the past, he would definitely ask the ancestor to release his father Liu Tao, but the ancestor had already given a word before, so he couldn’t speak any more.

    “Then, there is only one thing…”

    Liu Dongdong gritted his teeth and seemed to have made a huge decision. He raised his head to look at his ancestor and said seriously: “Old ancestor, any reward that descendants want, you Can it be given to children and grandchildren?”

    Liu Fan smiled confidently and said domineeringly: “As long as it is owned by the ancestor, the ancestor can give it to you.”

    Liu Dongdong’s eyes lit up, and he said loudly: “Old ancestor, a gentleman is hard to chase with a word. Can’t you go back?”

    Liu Liuhai reminded: “Dongdong, pay attention to your words, how do you talk to your ancestors!”

    “Hahaha…”

    Liu Fan smiled, waved his hand, and said he didn’t mind.

    I don’t know how many years, no one has dared to talk to myself like this, both bold and provocative.

    “The ancestors don’t regret it. They will give you a reward. The ancestors will never break their promise!” Liu Fan smiled and waved to Liu Wuhai at the same time.

    Liu Wuhai was taken aback for a moment, and then he woke up. He wisely lit a dry tobacco pot and inserted it into the mouth of the ancestor like lightning.

    Liu Fan smokes, hesitates, and looks at Liu Dongdong with a smile on his face.

    He wanted to see what kind of reward this ancestor, his ancestor, would ask for the most advanced descendants of this cultivation base.

    In fact, this is also a test.

    At this moment.

    Liu Dongdong took a deep breath, looked at the ancestor, knelt at the feet of the ancestor with a thump, and said eagerly: “The ancestor is here, please, give me your daughter Liu Xin… Come on!”

    “Pump!”

    Liu Fan staggered and almost fell off the chair, and the dry tobacco pot in his mouth fell.

    Liu Wuhai flashed, grabbed the dry tobacco pot, and thrust it back into the mouth of the ancestor again like lightning.

    Below the main hall.

    Liu Dahai and the others were already stunned. They looked at Liu Dongdong with shock and disbelief.

    Liu Liuhai shouted loudly, “Dongdong, do you know what you are talking about?”

    “The daughter of the old ancestor, that is our little ancestor, how dare you be so rude?”

    “Also, you married the little ancestor, and our group of old guys see you, do you have to call you ancestor? !”

    These words awakened Liu Dahai, Liu Erhai, Liu Wuhai and others, everyone couldn’t help but their eyes fell to the ground.

    Liu Yangyang exclaimed: “Dongdong, I think you are a buddy, you should be my ancestor, Wo Ri!”

    “Dongdong, you are not interesting enough!” Liu Xiaoxiao who rarely speaks Made a statement.

    Yang Shouan smiled slightly and said, “It’s normal for men to love women. Dongdong dare to show love to his little ancestors. He is a man, hahaha.”

    Liu Dahai glared at Yang Shouan and said, “Shouan, don’t talk, you are connected. Don’t let the enemy or the dog go, don’t damage Dongdong.”

    “Yeah, Dongdong, you…” Liu Erhai was also dumbfounded for a while, “If the little ancestor knew you would dare to beat her.” Attention, don’t you guess, will you be killed?” In the

    hall, everyone exploded and talked.

    It seems that everyone except Yang Shouan disagrees.

    At this time, Liu Fan coughed slightly, and the hall suddenly became quiet.

    Everyone looked at the ancestors.

    Liu Fan sighed, stared at Liu Dongdong for a long time, and said, “Dongdong, you have more pens when you were younger

    than your ancestor !” Liu Dongdong hurriedly said modestly: “Old ancestor cowhide, Dongdong is less than one ten thousandth of yours. “

    Liu who smiled and said:” to be honest, the daughter of ancestors, the ancestors have no way to get her, you want her ancestors this betrothed to you, this thing ah, there is no way our ancestors. ” “

    rely on You chase it yourself!”

    Liu Dongdong was not disappointed either, what he wanted was the attitude of his ancestors.

    As long as the ancestors do not object, it is fine.

    Behind, Liu Yangyang and Liu Xiaoxiao looked at each other, and suddenly stepped forward together, bowed and said: “Old ancestor, can we also chase after the little ancestor?!”

    Everyone is single, and they are also moved.

    Liu Liuhai was about to scold the two, but Liu Dahai blocked Liu Liuhai.

    This is the family affair of the ancestors, so it is better not to interrupt.

    Liu Fan glanced at Liu Yangyang and Liu Xiaoxiao, then laughed and said, “My daughter, when has she been so popular.”

    “However, that said, I will not interfere with my daughter’s marriage. You go by yourself.” Chase.”

    “Who will be the son-in-law of your ancestor in the end? It’s all your own ability.”

    “Thank you ancestor!”

    Liu Yangyang and Liu Xiaoxiao were excited, replied in unison, and then looked provocatively. Looked at Liu Dongdong.

    Liu Dongdong smiled, his expression unwilling to show weakness.

    After this interruption, the atmosphere in the hall became much more relaxed.

    After everyone chatted for a while, Liu Fan talked about cultivation.

    “Tianmen’s cultivation is very mysterious and different from other realms.” Liu Fan said with a serious expression.

    A group of descendants in the hall hurriedly listened.

    “Presumably you have also seen that the cultivators from Dahuang, after opening the Tianmen, all began to grow scales, but you did not grow scales, why is this?” Liu Fan asked.

    Liu Wuhai replied: “It’s the reason for the “Ancient Cultivator’s Body Refining Magic”.”

    Liu Fan nodded, “Yes, this body practice exercise was realized when my ancestor opened the Heavenly Gate. The ancestor did not have long scales. If you practice according to the method, you will naturally not grow scales.”

    “But without scales, your defenses fall on the skin of your flesh, and your flesh is equivalent to the scales of others, with powerful defenses. Therefore, the ancient monks can’t slack off their body-building magic.”

    Speaking of this, Liu Fan glanced at the tauren Yang Shouan, and smiled: “Shouan’s training is more special. First, there are scales, and then the ancient monks practice the magical

    powers , so that the defense is stronger.” Yang Shouan thought thoughtfully. nod.

    He was calculated by Big Gray Wolf before, his neck stuck in the barrier, and he was bombarded by the barrier. His strong defense was very extraordinary at that time.

    Liu who then said: “Of course, now I’m still our ancestors, our ancestors you have given me a copper peas divine, immortal immortal flesh, can can not always rely on my ancestors.”

    “You have to self-reliance”!

    “Wan One day, my ancestors, I’m gone, and your copper pea magic has failed. Are you going to be blown by the enemy one by one?!”

    A group of descendants heard this, panicked and at a loss, they knelt to the ground in fright, said “Old ancestors, don’t scare your children and grandchildren, your elders are not afraid when the sky falls, how can they be gone?!”

    “Yes, ancestors are immortal and immortal!”

    “The ancestors are invincible, immortal and eternal!”

    Liu Fan

    Faintly sighed : “Immortality and immortality? Immortality and eternity?! Without the unspeakable eternal realm, everything is vain!” “Even though it is stronger than Liu Changsheng, he was known as the ancestor of human beings and suppressed the entire world of prisons, but the result was still It didn’t end in the same sadness.”

    “My dear grandchildren, you must have a sense of crisis, and you can’t rely on your ancestors for everything!” The

    ancestors spoke with heart and heart , and his kind and majestic voice echoed in the hall.

    “Follow the ancestor’s religious instruction, children and grandchildren remember it!”

    A group of children and grandchildren kowtowed their heads, guessing what the meaning of the words of the ancestors was, and their faces were heavy.

    “Dangdangdang……” In the

    Tiandi Academy, there was a ring of bells in class.

    Liu Fan suddenly got up and said, “The ten-year break time is over, it’s time for class!”

    “Let’s go, go to class, so there won’t be too many easy days!”

    Behind him.

    A group of children and grandchildren couldn’t help but shook all over, looking at the back of the old ancestor, there was an inexplicable anxiety in their hearts.

    “What will happen in the future…”

    …

    Ten thousand people came to attend the class this time in the Tiandi Preschool.

    In the classroom, at first glance, there are densely packed human heads.

    “Hello, teacher!”

    When Liu Fan stepped into the classroom, a neat and powerful voice rang.

    In the first row, the half-huanghuang adults sat.

    At this time, Liu Dahai and others also walked in, looking for seats according to their respective cultivation bases.

    Master Huang and the others looked at Liu Dahai and the others, and were extremely surprised.

    These people turned out to be kings or star-level masters.

    Liu Wuhai and Liu Liuhai, the two half-step kings, were finally promoted to the Dacheng Kings, but the tauren made everyone look at him.

    Because his cultivation level fluctuations were deliberately released, he was also in the realm of Dacheng King.

    “This cow is indeed the emperor’s mount. It must have been slapped by the emperor. How could it be so fast!”

    The old silver ghost sitting in the second row and the other great kings looked at each other and saw each other’s thought.

    The old village chief sitting behind saw Yang Shou’an and felt the breath of the other’s great king. He couldn’t help but feel awe-inspiring.

    “I hope this cow will be conquered by Teacher Tiandi, and don’t run around, otherwise my Qinglin tribe will be in danger.”

    Being stared at by a great emperor, it is not good for anyone.

    Master Huang’s eyes were also staring at the tauren Yang Shouan.

    Because with his half-step emperor’s cultivation base, he even sensed a trace of danger in this bull’s body.

    This is weird.

    “What the hell is it that makes me feel uneasy?!”

    Master Huang thought, his deep eyes flickered.

    at this time.

    On the seat next to him, a young man came slowly, nodded and smiled at him, and then sat down openly.

    Master Huang was taken aback.

    “Where is the little guy who doesn’t know the rules so much? You can sit in the first row?”

    The silver old ghost in the second row and other great kings couldn’t help but stay.

    Tong Lao Dao stretched out his finger, poked Liu Yangyang on the back of his head, and reminded with a smile: “Little pot friend, hi! What about you, little pot friend, this is not where you should sit, go to the back corner to sit… …”

    Liu Yangyang looked back and grinned: “Oh, is it?!” He

    said, letting out a trace of his half-step imperial coercion.

    “Boom”

    vanished into chaos, and fragments of law and order fluttered.

    Tong Lao Dao was shocked.

    The old silver ghosts and all the smiling masters were shocked.

    “Half emperor…You turned out to be half emperor…”

    “Pre…senior, forgive the younger generation, I shouldn’t have called you a little friend just now, I shouldn’t poke your head back , Please forgive me…”

    Tong Laodao hurriedly bowed to apologize, his face full of horror.

    Yin Laogui and the others also hurriedly got up and saluted, afraid to sit down.

    Master Huang sucked in a cold breath, but his cultivation was too high. This cold breath directly turned the void in the classroom into a cold winter.

    The heavy snow flies, the cold wind howls.

    The people with a low cultivation base were frozen, turning into ice sculptures in an instant.

    “

    Meaning !” Liu Dongdong blew a mouthful of heating. In an instant spring and summer in the classroom, it was warm and comfortable. The frozen people thaw one after another, but their faces were full of shock and horror.

    “Is this half the emperor? It’s terrible!”

    “Yeah, it’s life-threatening to go to class with such a giant!”

    Everyone talked a lot, and when they looked at Liu Dongdong who was helping them thaw, there was a little awe and awe in their eyes. grateful.

    Master Huang saw Liu Dongdong blow on the heating and thawed, and he couldn’t help but feel cold.

    “This young half-emperor is not much

    inferior to me. Where did the strong come from? Could it be an old undead monster in the longevity world?!” Master Huang groaned, bowed his fists to Liu Dongdong, and smiled: ” How do you call this

    fellow Daoist ?” Liu Dongdong clasped his fists in return and said, “I am

    Liu Dongdong!” “The last name is Liu?!” Master Huang was shocked. He looked up and down Liu Dongdong and found that he was very handsome, and his eyes were with his ancestors. There are three points similar.

    Unexpectedly, his heart chuckles, and a thought that makes himself scared to pee.

    “Wori, this Liu Dongdong, shouldn’t he be the son of the Emperor of Heaven?!”

    He looked at the old silver ghost and others in the second row, and found that they were shaking all over, with strange and respectful expressions, obviously thinking of himself. Almost.

    “Haha, in the future, you will be my Dong brother, come, do and do, don’t stand!”

    Master Huang suddenly became enthusiastic, and took Liu Dongdong’s hand to sit down.

    “When this class is over, let

    ‘s worship the two brothers. You will be my Dong brother from now on!” Master Huang said in a whisper, winking at Liu Dongdong.
