Chapter 618: Six Tribulations of the Sixth Layer What I Can Help You With Is Only This Much

"All right, get up quickly," Meng Chuan said with a smile.

"Yes, Senior."

Meng Yu obediently stood up and cautiously asked, "Senior, what instructions do you have for summoning me?"

"Meng Yu, you ascended to the Mortal Realm four hundred and thirty years ago, joined the Star Sword Sect, and reached the peak Venerable level," Meng Chuan stated directly. "You also created your own ultimate sword art, the 'Seven Star Sword Control Art,' and your true strength ranks among the top ten Venerables in the Star Sword Sect. Am I right?"

Meng Yu was taken aback. While this information about him wasn't a strict secret, it wasn't easy to uncover such detailed facts, especially since fewer than ten people knew about his self-created 'Seven Star Sword Control Art.' This mysterious white-haired man, whose cultivation far surpassed his own, had investigated him so thoroughly; he must have some purpose!

"Senior, you are absolutely correct," Meng Yu humbly replied. "I'm merely an insignificant individual; I don't know what you could possibly value in me."

"Because..." Meng Chuan smiled as he looked at him. "You are my grandson, and I am your grandfather!"

Meng Yu's expression froze, and he stared blankly at Meng Chuan.

*Grandfather?**Grandson?*

"Senior, please don't joke with me," Meng Yu said quickly. Even after navigating many treacherous situations and dealing with insidious schemers and fierce demons, he still felt utterly bewildered by a powerful stranger who immediately claimed, "I am your grandfather, and you are my grandson."

*Is this a trap? Is he trying to deceive me? Is he planning to use me? Or does he have a deeper motive?* Numerous thoughts surfaced instantly, as Meng Yu would not easily trust a stranger's words.

"Your father's name is Meng An," Meng Chuan continued, "and your mother's name is 'Han Yue'."

Meng Yu's expression grew serious. His father and mother were the most important people in his heart. His father's name was Meng An, and his mother's was Han Yue! These were their true names; his parents had used other names during their travels.

"Are you really my grandfather?" Meng Yu asked, looking at the mysterious white-haired man. "My father told me he left the family a long time ago and only briefly spoke to me about the Meng family, saying that my grandfathers were extraordinary heroes."

"Your father said that if I showed you this token, you would believe me," Meng Chuan said, flipping his hand to reveal a purplish-red wooden token.

Meng Yu's heart trembled as he saw the crude drawing on the token. It was a pattern he had drawn when he was six years old. Before his parents left, they had told him: "You are our child, and this must be kept secret. Do not trust anyone else's words, unless they come bearing this token."

The days spent with his parents were the happiest years of Meng Yu's life. Now, seeing the token with his childhood scribbles again, Meng Yu was deeply moved.

"Your grandson, Meng Yu, bows to grandfather," Meng Yu said, his eyes reddening. He immediately knelt down solemnly and respectfully prostrated himself three times. So many years had passed. He had finally met his family! After ascending to the Mortal Realm, he had endured many hardships over more than four hundred years, constantly treading on thin ice. He didn't even dare to display his full strength within the sect, because as an ascendant with no background, one wrong step could lead to irreversible ruin. Even when faced with Young Master Shen's earlier invitation, he didn't dare to directly refuse, but instead found a subtle excuse.

Cultivating in the Mortal Realm for over four hundred years, he had always felt lonely. He had cultivated alone, cautiously guarding against every danger. Now, he had seen his family.

"Good, good," Meng Chuan said, personally helping him up. His grandson had cultivated for over five hundred years, yet this was the first time he, as his grandfather, was meeting him. Of course, at this age, he was still considered young in the Mortal Realm of the Kunyun Secret Realm.

"Grandfather, are my father and mother well?" Meng Yu asked worriedly. "I haven't seen them since I ascended to the Mortal Realm."

Meng Chuan frowned slightly and shook his head. "Not exactly well."

Meng Yu was startled and quickly asked, "My parents said they had to keep hiding in the mortal world to avoid being found by a formidable enemy... could it be that..."

"Yes, their formidable enemy found them," Meng Chuan nodded. "Your father narrowly escaped, but your mother has been captured."

"My mother?" Meng Yu's heart clenched in panic.

"Your mother is an Emperor, your father is a Tribulation Realm expert, and I, your grandfather, am also a Tribulation Realm expert," Meng Chuan explained. "However, this formidable enemy is also an extremely powerful Tribulation Realm expert. That's why they had to conceal your existence, to prevent the enemy from knowing about you. Even I, your grandfather, cannot openly acknowledge you, as that would only implicate you."

Before arriving, Meng Chuan had already learned about his grandson Meng Yu's growth experiences. Combined with his earlier observations, he had formed a plan for guiding his grandson. Once the threat of 'Old Man Sanshi' was resolved, his grandson Meng Yu would be able to roam freely in the Kunyun Secret Realm. However, this wouldn't be conducive to his grandson's growth. Therefore, he couldn't let his grandson have a strong backing. Just as a sharp sword is forged through grinding, a strong mind and will require sufficient tempering.

"I understand; you are all doing this to protect me," Meng Yu nodded.

"It's good that you understand," Meng Chuan nodded with a sigh. "Your grandfather can't help you much. In fact, I can only stay here with you for a month and teach you for a month. After a month, I must leave! If I stay by your side for too long... my formidable enemy will discover me, and that would also implicate you."

However, Meng Yu said, "Grandfather, please find a way to save my mother."

"The one accompanying you here is merely a primordial spirit avatar," Meng Chuan said. "My true body has already gone to the Heavenly Realm to find a way to save your mother, but I don't have full confidence."

Meng Yu looked thoughtful.

"This is a pot of 'Moon Elephant Wine' that your grandfather obtained by chance; just one sip greatly aids cultivation," Meng Chuan said, producing a silver wine pot. "Your grandfather couldn't bear to drink a single drop, so I'm giving it to you. You must cherish it! Don't drink it too quickly, because once it's gone, it's gone."

"Yes," Meng Yu said, touched, as he accepted it.

This pot of Moon Elephant Wine was worth 120 'fang'! For a newly advanced Tribulation Realm expert, it was indeed a treasure. But for Meng Chuan, it was merely a drop in the ocean; he had earned far more by simply picking up items in the Demonic Mountain ruins. Yet, this was the only cultivation-aiding treasure Meng Chuan gave to his grandson.

"I heard you're skilled in swordsmanship. Our Meng clan happens to have a very powerful Tribulation Realm-level scripture. You should learn it quickly; after you've learned it, I'll have to take it back to the clan," Meng Chuan said, producing a black crystal jade, a foot square, covered with countless golden light spots.

This ultimate art was called 'Boundless Sword Heart,' a scripture from the Starry Pavilion. It was originally forbidden to be taken out, but Meng Chuan obtained it by putting up 3,000 'fang' of extraterrestrial elemental crystals as collateral. If it wasn't returned, the 3,000 'fang' of extraterrestrial elemental crystals would be confiscated into Ancestor Cang Yuan's treasury.

'Boundless Sword Heart' was created by a Seventh Tribulation Realm expert. In terms of value, it surpassed the two strongest ultimate arts of the Starry Pavilion's Thunder lineage, 'Thunder Realm' and 'Three Lives Blade,' but it was one level inferior to 'Primordial Spirit Stars,' which Meng Chuan had once learned. It was even less comparable to 'Void Records.'

3,000 'fang' of extraterrestrial elemental crystals were put up as collateral to bring it out! Once it was brought back, the 3,000 'fang' of extraterrestrial elemental crystals would be returned to Meng Chuan.

Meng Yu quickly finished receiving the 'Boundless Sword Heart' sword art inheritance, feeling utterly shocked. This ultimate sword art was incredibly vast and profound, the most powerful he had ever received.

"Thank you, Grandfather," Meng Yu said gratefully. "This ultimate art must be returned to the clan as quickly as possible, without any mishap."

"Indeed, there can be no mishaps," Meng Chuan said, taking it back and immediately putting it away. He then added seriously, "Your father and I still need to confront formidable enemies. This is all I can help you with for now."

"Grandfather, you have already helped me greatly," Meng Yu said, quite moved. Having grown accustomed to the deceit and schemes of the Mortal Realm, he knew that only his father, mother, and grandfather would give selflessly without expecting anything in return.

Meng Yu also secretly resolved to himself. He would definitely cultivate harder to become a Tribulation Realm expert, so he could share the burden with his father and grandfather and confront that formidable enemy.

"Mmm," Meng Chuan said, gazing at his grandson with satisfaction.
