  The Heaven realm was where all the experts in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm gathered. Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences lived here. After reaching the Tribulation realm, they could head to the outer realm!

  This was because Ancestral Master Archean Eon had set up a mechanism that prevented them from returning after leaving! Even Tribulation Eminences were unable to bring outsiders into Earth Cloud Mystic Realm.

  Realm Manor was the Heaven realm’s core. To enter Realm Manor, one needed to be at the Sixth Tribulation realm.

  As expected of a mystic realm. The number of Supremacies here is comparable to ten river systems. Meng Chuan sighed in amazement. The eight people in front of him—including Meng Yu-were all Supremacies. They were common across the Earth realm.

  Eight cultivators were gathered in the distance. “Brother Meng Yu, it’s all thanks to you,” said a young man in a purple-gold robe with a smile. “Otherwise, I’m afraid two or three of us would have died in battle.”

  “I was training in Thousand Fang Mountain Range,” said Meng Yu with a smile. The black robe he was wearing was very baggy. His hands were hidden in the robe, and his hair was tied up simply. “When I saw Brother Shen and the others fighting a Valiant Fiend, how could I watch and do nothing when you are in trouble? I naturally drew my sword and attacked!”

  “Well said. Drawing your sword and attacking!” Young Master Shen sighed. “Sometimes, many so-called ‘good friends’ won’t save people at critical moments. They will even give one a nudge from behind, sending them to their deaths.” Meng Yu nodded immediately.

  “Brother Meng Yu, I owe you a favor,” said Young Master Shen solemnly.

  “There’s no need for that. Giving me the Valiant Fiend has benefited me enough,” said Meng Yu immediately.

  “A single Valiant Fiend’s corpse can’t compare to the lives of the several of us,” said Young Master Shen.

  The six companions beside him nodded in agreement.

  Young Master Shen continued, “Brother Meng Yu, when we met at Star Sword Sect last time, I discovered that Star Sword Sect was almost controlled by a family line. Those like you, who have ascended from the mortal world, have very few opportunities.”

  “What can I do?” Meng Yu curled his lips. “The masters above me can’t resolve it, so what can a junior like me do?”

  Star Sword Sect’s patriarchs were still alive.

  How could a junior like him question the distribution of resources?

  “Neither the opportunity to ascend the Stairway to Heaven nor the opportunity to visit Sword Cave will come by us. We can only carry out sect missions.” Young Master Shen shook his head. “We can’t continue like this. You saved us, so how about this? I’ll invite you to join my Shen family as a guest elder. You should have heard that there are many benefits to being a guest elder.”

  “Shen family’s guest elder?” Meng Yu looked tempted, but he was also somewhat hesitant.

  “Guest elder? With Brother Meng Yu’s strength, he can indeed be a guest elder,” said Young Master Shen’s other companions.

  Meng Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Brother Shen, you know how strict the sect is. I have to think about this. I have to inform Master and obtain his permission.”

  “Don’t worry. Star Sword Sect’s higher-ups won’t pay attention to such trivial matters,” persuaded Young Master Shen.

  “I still have to ask Master about this. I’ll seek you out again if Master agrees, Young Master Shen… When the time comes, Young Master Shen, are you willing to let me be a guest elder?” Meng Yu looked at Young Master Shen.

  When Young Master Shen heard this, he smiled and said, “Alright, ask your master for permission. My invitation to you to be a guest elder of the Shen family will always hold. With my status, getting you the position of guest elder is trivial.”

  “Thank you, Brother Shen,” said Meng Yu. “Then, I’ll return to the sect to report.”

  “Alright.” Young Master Shen watched Meng Yu leave.

  “This Meng Yu doesn’t know how to appreciate favors.”

  “Young Master personally invited him, but he’s still hesitating,” said his companions. “Shut up.” Young Master Shen frowned. His six companions didn’t dare say a word. These companions were Young Master Shen’s guards. They were here to protect Young Master Shen on his training expedition.

  These six trash can’t even fend off that Valiant Fiend. Meng Yu alone could hold back a Valiant Fiend. He alone is stronger than the other six. I didn’t manage to see Meng Yu’s true strength back at Star Sword Sect. If I hire him as a guest elder, I can get him to protect me. If there’s danger, I can get him to be my shield, Young Master Shen thought to himself. It was very easy for the family clan to arrange for a Supremacy-level guest elder to be a guard. As long as Meng Yu chose to be a guest elder and received benefits from the Shen family, he would have to take responsibility.

  I’m in desperate need of a powerful guard, Young Master Shen thought to himself.

  The competition between the Shen family’s younger generation was intensifying. With Young Master Shen’s status, he couldn’t hire an Imperial Lord to be his guard! He could only hire Supremacies. As for Meng Yu, his strength was definitely at the level of an extremely powerful Supremacy.

  The Shen family is one of Mental Demon Sect’s 13 family clans. They deliberately allow their descendants to engage in internecine conflict to determine the strongest. I don’t want to get involved. As Meng Yu flew, he pondered the situation. Furthermore, he made it sound nice. Back when the Valiant Fiend pursued them, they must have sensed that I was around and lured it over. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a coincidental meeting. Dad, Mom, the two of you sure are carefree. You hide in the mortal world to enjoy yourselves while I’m forced to ascend and cultivate. However, I don’t have anyone backing me. I also don’t have any opportunities. It’s really difficult to cultivate.

  Meng Yu picked up the black gourd by his waist and drank two mouthfuls of alcohol before leisurely flying towards Star Sword Sect.

  Meng Chuan—who was secretly observing his grandson-couldn’t help but laugh. This grandson of his didn’t resemble Meng An or himself. He and An’er had grown up during wartime. Meng Yu’s growth was somewhat different, and his personality was also different.

  Whoosh.

  Meng Chuan waved his hand.

  “Hey-” As Meng Yu leisurely flew, he suddenly saw the scene in front of him change. The space in front of him changed.

  The bright sunlight was no longer visible. Only a faint light enveloped the world around him. A grotto-heaven? Meng Yu stood on the grass, looked around, and jolted.

  Pa!

  Meng Yu knelt down and said loudly, “Greetings, Senior, I’m Meng Yu.” With that said, he immediately bowed his head respectfully. “Kowtowing before seeing anyone?” Laughter rang out.

  Meng Yu carefully looked up and saw a white-haired, white-robed, middle-aged man standing in front of him and smiling at him.

  Upon seeing the other party’s smile, Meng Yu calmed down. It’s fine. I’m not in danger.

  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 m
otive for investigating me so thoroughly!

  “Senior, you are absolutely right,” said Meng Yu humbly. “I’m just a nobody. 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. Nobody 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 damnation. 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 Cluster 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 Cluster 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 t
he enemy. “Alright.” Meng Chuan looked at his grandson in satisfaction.

  Chapter 613 - Grandsire Three Stones’s Order

  “Here are three Undying Talismans. Carry them with you and leave your mark on them.” Meng Chuan took out three Undying Talismans and handed them to his grandson solemnly. “Although your parents have done their best to protect you, our enemy’s means are unfathomable. They might be able to discover your existence and kill you with a thought. With an Undying Talisman, you can survive for longer. Every Undying Talisman can delay your death for two hours. This will give me enough time to save you.”

  Meng Yu’s heart palpitated when he heard that.

  The enemy that even his grandfather and parents feared was an expert among Tribulation Eminences. As long as their enemy knew of his existence and name, he could kill him with a thought through karma. “I’ll definitely carry them with me.” Meng Yu carefully put away the three Undying Talismans and left his Essence Soul mark on them. He decided to carry them forever. They were the most important life-preservation items.

  Only then did Meng Chuan heave a sigh of relief.

  He wasn’t lying. If Grandsire Three Stones obtained information on Meng Yu, he could kill Meng Yu with just a thought.

  Even if he protected Meng Yu by keeping him close, Meng Chuan didn’t have the confidence to protect Meng Yu thoroughly. This was because it was very difficult to block a karmic attack.

  There were two ways to block a karmic attack. The first was to weaken the karmic attack as much as possible! For example, an inhabited world could greatly weaken a karmic attack. The Heaven and Earth Great Hall created by Ancestral Master Archean Eon could also weaken karmic attacks. As an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World could repel all external forces, producing a weakening effect. However, even with his Essence Soul World enveloping his grandson, he could only weaken a karmic attack by 80-90%. Meng Yu still couldn’t withstand the karmic attack’s remaining strength.
