Chapter 612 That’s All I Can Help You With
“Alright, quickly get up,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
“Yes, Senior.” Meng Yu stood up obediently and carefully asked, “Senior, may I know what instructions you have for me since you’ve summoned me here?”
“Meng Yu. Ascended to the Earth realm 430 years ago and joined Star Sword Sect. Currently at the perfected Supremacy realm,” said Meng Chuan directly. “Independently created a Sword Dao technique, Seven Stars Sword Control. Your true strength is ranked in the top ten among Star Sword Sect’s Supremacies, am I right?”
Meng Yu was alarmed when he heard this. Although intelligence on him wasn’t a secret, it wasn’t easy to investigate him so clearly. Less than ten people knew about his self-created Seven Stars Sword Control. The mysterious white-haired man in front of him has a cultivation realm that far exceeds mine. He definitely has a motive for investigating me so thoroughly!
“Senior, you are absolutely right,” said Meng Yu humbly. “I’m just a n.o.body. I don’t know how you spotted me.” “Because-“Meng Chuan smiled at him. “you are my grandson. I’m your grandfather!” Meng Yu’s expression froze as he stared at Meng Chuan dazedly. Grandfather? Grandson? “Senior, don’t tease me,” said Meng Yu immediately. Even though he had experienced all sorts of situations and had interacted with sinister, cunning, and ferocious demons, he still felt dazed when facing an unfamiliar expert who claimed to be his grandfather and that he was his grandson.
Is this a trap? A deliberate lie? Using me as a tool? Or does he have a more sinister motive? Many thoughts instantly surfaced in Meng Yu’s mind. He wasn’t one to believe a stranger’s words easily.
“Your father’s name is Meng An,” said Meng Chuan, “and your mother’s name is Han Yue.”
Meng Yu’s expression turned solemn. His parents were his most important loved ones. His father’s name was Meng An, and his mother’s name was Han Yue! These were his parents’ names when adventuring.
“Are you really my grandfather?” Meng Yu looked at the mysterious white-haired man. “My father said that he left his family long ago. He only told me about the Meng family briefly. He said that my grandfather is an outstanding hero.”
“Your father said that you would believe me if I take out this token.” Meng Chuan flipped his hand and took out a purple-red wooden token.
When Meng Yu saw the crude pattern on the token, his heart couldn’t help but tremble. It was a picture he had painted when he was six. Before his parents left, they had said, “You are our child. This has to be kept a secret. n.o.body else’s words can be trusted unless they come with this token.”
The time he spent with his parents were the loveliest days in Meng Yu’s heart. Now that he saw his childhood token, Meng Yu’s emotions surged.
“Greetings, Grandfather.” Meng Yu’s eyes turned red. He immediately knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times.
It had been so many years.
He had finally met his family! After ascending to the Earth realm, he had suffered a lot in the past 400 years. He lived as if he was treading on thin ice. He didn’t even dare to show his full strength in the sect because he had ascended without any background. One wrong step and he would be consigned to eternal d.a.m.nation. Even when the Shen family’s scion previously invited him to be a guest elder, he didn’t dare reject him directly. Instead, he tactfully found a reason to delay giving an answer.
After cultivating in the Earth realm for over 400 years, he had always felt lonely. He cultivated alone and carefully guarded against all dangers. Now, he finally met a family member.
“Good, good.” Meng Chuan personally helped him up. This grandson of his had cultivated for more than 500 years, and this was the first time Meng Chuan was meeting him as his grandfather.
Of course, he was still considered young in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm’s Earth realm.
“Grandfather, how are my parents?” Meng Yu asked worriedly. “I haven’t seen them since I ascended to the Earth realm.”
Meng Chuan frowned slightly and shook his head. “Not particularly good.”
Meng Yu was alarmed as he immediately asked, “Dad and Mom said that they have to hide in the mortal world to avoid their enemies’ detection. Could it be…” “Yes, their enemy has found them,” said Meng Chuan with a nod. “Your father was lucky enough to escape. Your mother has been captured.” “My mother?” Meng Yu panicked.
“Your mother is an Imperial Lord, your father is a Tribulation Eminence, and your grandfather is also a Tribulation Eminence.” Meng Chuan exaggeratedly said, “However, their enemy is also a very powerful Tribulation Eminence. Therefore, they have to hide your existence to prevent the enemy from finding out about you. Even as your grandfather, I can’t publicly acknowledge you as my grandson. Doing so will only implicate you.”
Meng Chuan had learned about his grandson’s growth before he came. With his previous observations, he had a plan to nurture his grandson.
After dealing with the threat that was Grandsire Three Stones, his grandson-Meng Yu-would be able to do whatever he wanted in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. This wasn’t suitable for his grandson’s growth.
Therefore, he couldn’t let his grandson have something to rely on.
A treasured sword’s sharpness required sufficient tempering to forge a powerful will.
Meng Yu nodded. “I understand. All of you did this to protect me.” “It’s good that you understand.” Meng Chuan nodded and sighed. “I can’t help you much. I can only stay here with you and teach you for a month. After a month, I have to leave! If I stay by your side for too long, my nemesis will discover me. You will also be implicated.” Meng Yu said, “Grandfather, please think of a way to save my mother.” “I’m only accompanying you with an Essence Soul avatar,” said Meng Chuan. “My true body has already headed to the Heaven realm to think of a way to save your mother. However, I’m not completely confident.”
Meng Yu fell into deep thought.
“This is a flask of Lunar Aspect Wine I obtained by chance. You only need to take a sip every time. It’s extremely beneficial to your cultivation.” Meng Chuan flipped his hand and took out a silver alcohol flask. “I couldn’t bear to drink a single mouthful, but here it is for you. You have to treasure it! Don’t finish it too quickly. It will be gone once you finish it.”
“Yes.” Meng Yu accepted it gratefully.
This flask of Lunar Aspect Wine was worth 120 cubes! It was indeed a valuable treasure to a newly-advanced Tribulation Eminence. However, it was nothing to Meng Chuan. He had earned a lot from picking up treasures at the Fiend Mountain ruin world, but this was the only treasure Meng Chuan would leave for his grandson to aid Meng Yu in his cultivation.
“I heard that you are skilled with swords. Our Meng family happens to have a very mighty Tribulation-level manual. Learn it quickly. After mastering it, I’ll have to bring it back to my family clan.” Meng Chuan flipped his hand again and took out a foot-long black crystal jade. It had countless golden light dots peppered over it.
This ultimate technique was called Immeasurable Sword Heart. It was a manual from Star Cl.u.s.ter Building. Taking out was originally forbidden, but Meng Chuan had used 3,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals as collateral.
If he didn’t bring it back, those 3,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals would be stored in Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault.
Immeasurable Sword Heart was created by a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. In terms of value, it was superior to Star Cl.u.s.ter Building’s two strongest lightning lineage ultimate techniques—Lightning Realm and Three World Saber. However, it was inferior to the Essence Soul Star formulation Meng Chuan previously learned. It was even less comparable to the Void Catalog
He took the manual out with 3,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals as collateral!
After he brought it back, the 3,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals would be returned to Meng Chuan.
After a moment, Meng Yu received Immeasurable Sword Heart’s legacy. He was shocked. This sword art was too vast, and it was the most powerful technique he had ever obtained.
“Thank you, Grandfather.” Meng Yu was grateful. “This ultimate technique needs to be brought back to the family clan as soon as possible. Nothing must happen to it.”
“Indeed, nothing must happen to it.” Meng Chuan took it back and immediately put it away. He said seriously, “Your father and I still need to deal with powerful enemies. This is all I can help you with.”
“Grandfather, you’ve already helped me a lot.” Meng Yu was rather touched.
In the Earth realm, he was used to seeing people scheme against each other. Only his parents and grandfather were selfless enough to demand nothing in return.
Meng Yu made up his mind to cultivate harder so that he could become a Tribulation Eminence. He had to help his father and grandfather share the burden and deal with the enemy. “Alright.” Meng Chuan looked at his grandson in satisfaction.
