Flower PS: There's no Chapter 1769—Yu Wang simply made a mistake in writing the chapter number! "Treasure?" When our ancestor vanished, he carried all his personal treasures with him and left nothing of significance—especially no techniques—for our descendants. Yet the Xu family has preserved several secret arts from that time, which once made our ancestor renowned among the human races. However, due to the rigorous cultivation requirements, only a few individuals have been able to master them. Among them, Master Xu Yan is one such person. "Could you please demonstrate these techniques for the elder, please?" Xu Jiao paused briefly before turning to the elder standing beside him. "Since the elder wishes to see, I shall be honored to present them." The elder hesitated slightly before finally nodding.
