<h4>Chapter 4464: No Unfilial Descendants</h4>


    The side-profile portraitcked details, only possessing a brief outline. Upon careful inspection, it did resemble Li Qiye.


    This couldn’t be verified because the drawer stopped before adding any description. The person was clearly tempted, hence the initial line, but eventually stopped for some unknown reasons.


    Li Qiye smiled after seeing this while the group watched with bated breath.


    He then closed the book and returned it to the n master: “Your ancestor is a good artist. There are many interesting descriptions but I am not your ancient ancestor. Myst name isn’t Wu.”


    The n master was speechless, the same with his n members. They have been kneeling the entire time to a stranger.


    “But our record has your portrait, Ancient Ancestor.” Wise Ancestor remained calm and said.


    “Well, if we have to be particr, that is indeed me.” Li Qiye stared at him and admitted.


    “It is you!” Wise Ancestor became excited again.


    Li Qiye only smiled in response.


    “It is an honor to be in your presence, Ancient Ancestor.” Wise Ancestor decisively stepped forward and prostrated.


    This confused the group. Li Qiye had already said that he wasn’t from their n. However, Wise Ancestor still wanted to prostrate? That would be rather improper, epting a stranger as an ancestor.


    Nheless, the n master wasn’t an idiot. He thought carefully about this and found logic in this move. He also walked forward and prostrated: “It is an honor to be in your presence, Ancient Ancestor.”


    “Greetings, Ancient Ancestor.” The others calmed down and followed along.


    Li Qiye waved and said: “Very well, since I do have ties with your ancestors, I will ept your grand gesture today. Rise.”


    “Thank you, Ancient Ancestor.” Wise Ancestor and the others bowed one more time before standing up, still acting respectfully.


    “Nothing good can be said about your cultivation. However, your politeness and sincerity show your intelligence.” Li Qiyemented.


    The group didn’t know what to say.


    “Call me young noble or young master, I am not that old.” He went on.


    “Yes, An-, Young Noble.” Wise Ancestor responded.


    “What is the reason for spending painstaking effort to find an ancient ancestor?” Li Qiye asked.


    The n master and Wise Ancestor exchanged nces. The group did the same.


    “We…” The n master didn’t know how to respond.


    “There is always a reason behind ttery and undue respect.” Li Qiye continued.


    The atmosphere became awkward and the n master felt his face turning red.


    Wise Ancestor remained calm and coughed wryly. He bowed his head and said: “Ancient Ancestor, the truth is that we wish to invite you home. We invite you to participate in the Primordial Union.”


    “Primordial Union?” Li Qiye raised his brows.


    “Yes, the union was started by our saber ancestor and the duck egg buyer.” Wise Ancestor borated.


    He paused for a bit before continuing: “Your descendants are ipetent so we need your help, Ancient Ancestor. Participate in the union, enter the dao source, recreate the grand dao, all of this to help our n once more.”


    “A bit interesting.” Li Qiye said.


    The others became anxious.


    “An-, Young Noble, please participate.” The n master bowed and said earnestly.


    Li Qiye stared at them and answered: “Spending so many days here, wasting so much saliva. It turns out the goal is to wake an ancient ancestor from their slumber, wanting them to toil for you like an ox.”


    “We do not dare!” The group became frightened and got on their knees again. The n master said: “This is not our intention, please forgive us, Young Noble.”


    If this was their actual intention, it would be rather disrespectful.


    “Dare? You already did it, wanting to take advantage of having an ancient ancestor. This stems from your own ipetence, needing to rely on them.” Li Qiye criticized.


    The group had an embarrassed expression, feeling rather ashamed.


    “You’re right, our n has fallen so we have no choice but to beseech you, Ancient Ancestor.” Wise Ancestor decided to admit instead of deny.


    “Digging your ancestor’s grave to make your n a bit richer and bigger. Don’t worry, this isn’t surprising. You’re not the only n with these thoughts.” Li Qiye chuckled.


    They heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Qiye had no intention of punishing them.


    “Fine, consider this meeting a fortune for your n.” Li Qiye said.


    “...” The group didn’t quite understand.


    “Your n started with Martial Ancestor.” Li Qiye revealed: “Fate dictates my involvement.”


    This didn’t help either. They scratched their head in confusion.


    ording to their records, their progenitor was Alchemy Saint. The next noteworthy character was Saber Ancestor. They had no records of anyone known as Martial Ancestor.


    Of course, this wasn’t their fault. Their n was an ancient entity. Too much time has passed for an urate tracing.


    Li Qiye, on the other hand, knew their origin rather well. They were already a famous lineage before Alchemy Saint.


    Martial Ancestor was famous for many eras. Later on, their n declined and was on the verge of total destruction.


    During this dark period, they had a female disciple who wouldter go on to be Alchemy Saint. She followed an old alchemist and learned his skills. This allowed her to teach alchemy to the rest of the n.


    This was the reason why the first page of their records was the portrait of an old man. He wasn’t a member of the n but was pivotal in their survival.


    Their n actually went from a cultivation n to an alchemy n and back to a cultivation n. The key characters were Martial Ancestor, Alchemy Saint, and Saber Ancestor of the Wu.


    For thest character, the legends said that she had obtained an ancient legacy. Another said that she was taught by the duck egg buyer or that she had learned a heavenly dao…


    All in all, her divergence from the alchemy path was actually a return to the n’s original way.
