Again? Hearing The Ancestor emphasize the word "again," Shawn Carter was momentarily stunned, then immediately understood—because The Ancestor clearly hadn’t expected him to come back so soon. In fact, not to mention someone of his level, even the elders of the family couldn’t possibly come to see The Ancestor this frequently.

  “Heh…” Shawn Carter chuckled, “Yes, I’m… back again. I really have no choice—there are some issues in my cultivation that I need to verify with The Ancestor. Please, The Ancestor, help me check this pass.”

  Before leaving, James Carter handed the imprint token to Shawn Carter. Naturally, Shawn Carter knew how precious this thing was to others, but his current situation was just too bizarre, too abnormal. He really couldn’t feel at ease without having The Ancestor take a look. Although the imprint token was valuable, compared to the strange things happening to him, it was nothing.

  When The Carter Ancestor Henry Carter heard Shawn Carter say this, he felt utterly helpless. Not to mention a young Renquan disciple like The Carter Family, even the nine great elders of the family, or even the family head and the regular grand elders, wouldn’t dare to say they had problems in cultivation and come see him twice in one day. Yet this little guy, a mere Renquan junior, what could possibly require his personal attention?

  Really now, does James Carter’s son truly not understand how important this imprint token is?

  Didn’t his father tell him? Didn’t anyone in the family teach him? In just over two hours, he used the imprint token again to see him. As The Carter Ancestor, even Henry Carter didn’t know what to say.

Chapter 8 The Ancestor Was Also Frightened

  “If you have something to say, just say it. But you’d better go learn about the imprint token afterward. Your father only has three chances like this—not for you to waste so casually.” Henry Carter originally wanted to explain, but felt it really wasn’t appropriate for him to lecture this kid on things even five-year-olds in the family should know.

  In the end, he just thought about it, waved his hand for Shawn Carter to continue, but still deliberately hinted that Shawn Carter should ask about it when he got back, so as not to waste the hard-earned opportunities of his father.

  “The Ancestor, I know about the imprint token. I learned about it when I was five, and it’s been repeated many times since. We’ve already started to get familiar with it. But today, I’m not here for that. Previously, when learning from the instructor, and as The Ancestor also said, after reaching the peak of Renquan in the Sanquan realm, isn’t it at least three months… before one can break through to the Diquan realm at the fastest?” Of course, Shawn Carter knew about the imprint token, but he was more concerned about the strange situation that had just happened to him.

  “Mm, the fastest genius in The Carter Family actually took two and a half months, but…” Henry Carter nodded slightly, but halfway through, his tone turned regretful: “But then something happened to him. That person is your father. Back then, to protect him, we didn’t spread the news. Later, your father was injured and his cultivation fell, so I suppressed the matter. Other than that, in three thousand years, the fastest has still been three months.”

  Actually, Shawn Carter already knew about the three-month minimum. It was common knowledge in the family. What he wanted to ask The Ancestor was something others didn’t know, but he hadn’t expected that the first to break the record was his own father. But that didn’t really mean much to Shawn Carter.

  After all, there’s a difference between three months and two and a half months, but compared to his own two hours, it was completely irrelevant.

  “Why are you asking this? Don’t tell me you came this time because you’ve reached the Renquan peak bottleneck again?” Henry Carter frowned slightly. If Shawn Carter was wasting his imprint token twice in one day over such a trivial matter that even the instructor could explain, he’d really be angry. A hundred years ago, he wasn’t known for his good temper. It was only because he was now The Carter Family’s The Ancestor, and had been tempering his state of mind during cultivation recently, that he hadn’t exploded already.

  This brat, what does he take the imprint token for?

  Even with the rules about the imprint token, he still had to teach this rascal a lesson—what does he take the imprint token for?

  “Uh… are there any special cases? Or are there any differences in the spring eyes opened in Renquan or Diquan compared to others?” Shawn Carter was still unwilling to give up.

  “What exactly are you trying to say?” Henry Carter was getting angry, his eyes widened, his beard and eyebrows trembling, his temper flaring.

  “Heh…” Shawn Carter thought for a moment. This matter would have to be revealed sooner or later, and letting The Ancestor know would allow them to discuss it or make plans for the future. Seeing how anxious The Ancestor was, Shawn Carter smiled helplessly, pointed to himself, and said, “The Ancestor, you’d better check for yourself.”

  “Hmm?” Hearing Shawn Carter say this, The Carter Family’s The Ancestor Henry Carter’s eyebrows twitched slightly, a premonition rising in his heart, but he could hardly believe it. He thought, no way.

  “Boom…” But in the next moment, when his divine sense enveloped Shawn Carter, and his power entered Shawn Carter’s body to investigate, his breath stopped, and he was completely stunned.
