Chapter 546 - Farewell

Chapter 546 Farewell

After cultivating his body to the early-stage Primordial realm (Imperial Lord realm), he had devoured about 1,500 cubes worth of Primordial Stones. Apart from the fact that his body was as tough as a Dharma treasure, the true body in his homeworld wasn’t much stronger in close combat than his true body in the outer realm.

Meng Chuan confirmed his strength once again in Heaven and Earth Great Hall. Even with his Essence Soul strength-which was at the eighth level-and physical strength combined, he was still as strong as a Fourth Tribulation Eminence.

In the Tribulation realm, the difference between the First Tribulation Realm and the Second Tribulation realm was relatively small. Once one reached the Third Tribulation realm, one’s strength would change qualitatively. The further one advanced, the greater the increase in strength. It was clearly not easy for Meng Chuan to be as strong as a Fifth Tribulation Eminence.

Although it was autumn in Jiang State Capital, it was still extremely hot.

Meng Manor. “Father-in-law.” Meng Chuan was accompanying Liu Yebai.

Liu Yebai sat on a chair. His hair was thin, but his face remained rather ruddy. Many age spots could be seen on his face. His wrinkles were deep like ravines. At that moment, he smiled at his grandson and granddaughter.

“Meng Chuan, I still clearly remember the day these two children were born,” said Liu Yebai with a chuckle. “They were born in Gu Mountain Prefecture. After they were born, the two of you were very busy dealing with the demons. Dajiang also had to manage the Meng family and Earth Net in Eastcalm Prefecture... I was the one who looked after them. The two of them were very clingy to me.”

“It was hard on you back then, Father-in-law,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. He also remembered that period. Back then, he had yet to become a Marquis Godfiend.

“Grandpa.” Meng An and Meng You accompanied Liu Yebai.

“It doesn’t feel like much time has passed. Time really flies.” Liu Yebai shook his head. “In the blink of an eye, I’m almost dying of old age. People always reminisce about their past and their youth.”

At that moment, two figures walked over from afar. One was a white-haired elder, while the other was a middle-aged woman.

“Dad, Mom.” Meng Chuan immediately stood up.

Meng An and Meng You also quickly stood up and greeted them. “Grandfather, Grandmother.”

The white-haired elder looked extremely old, but his mind remained extremely clear because he was a Great Solar Godfiend. There was no need for anyone to help him. He was still stocky, tall, and slightly plump. He chuckled all year round and looked amiable.

“Today is a rare occasion. My son, grandson, and granddaughter are here.” Meng Dajiang chuckled.

“You’er is becoming more and more beautiful.” Bai Nianyun smiled as she looked at her granddaughter. Several years ago, under Meng Chuan’s full guidance, Meng You finally became a Regis Godfiend. However, her cultivation was clearly much inferior to Meng An’s. She became a Regis Godfiend because she had a father who pushed his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique to the perfected Heaven Earth realm. With her father’s full guidance, Meng You barely became a Regis Godfiend.

“Oh my, Dajiang, look at how old you have become?” Liu Yebai smiled. He looked much better in comparison.

“At least my hair isn’t missing at all.” Meng Dajiang sat by the side and looked at his old friend. “Look at your hair. If I must say something, why don’t you just go bald?”

“Here, have some watermelon.” Meng Chuan waved his hand, and a large watermelon appeared on the table. It quickly split into several pieces. The melon pulp was very red. Meng An and Meng You immediately picked up the watermelon pieces and served them to their paternal grandfather, paternal grandmother, and maternal grandfather.

As they ate, they chatted. Meng Chuan smiled as he watched this scene. His mother still could live for a long time, but his father only had three years left. His father-in-law, Liu Yebai, had eight years left.

Their lifespans shortened by one day as every day passed.

Back when Meng Chuan was young, they had shouldered everything. Now, they were all dying of old age.

After chatting for more than an hour, Meng Dajiang smiled and said, “Chuan’er, what’s the occasion today? You summoned the whole family together. You usually come alone to spend time with us. Meng An and Meng You should be very busy, right?”

“Yes, Dad, what’s the matter today?” asked Meng You. “Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly and looked at Meng An.

Meng An said, “It’s about me. I’m leaving the human world and heading to the outer realm.”

“Heading to the outer realm?” Meng Dajiang, Bai Nianyun, and Liu Yebai exchanged looks. They fell silent. Although their cultivation realms weren’t high, they were still Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue’s seniors. They also knew some basic information about the outer realm.

“A good man goes wherever his ambition takes him,” said Meng Dajiang with a chuckle. “Since you want to go, go ahead. Back then, I didn’t hesitate to join the army. I went to a city pass and fought the demons. Your father and mother also fought the demons shortly after they left Archean Mountain. When your mother was pregnant with the two of you, your parents often fought outside. They even killed many demon monarchs.”

“Go ahead if you want to, but be careful,” instructed Liu Yebai.

“Be careful,” said Bai Nianyun. “Your father has been roaming the outer realm for some time. You should seek guidance from him.”

The three of them had seen too much blood and fire, so they accepted this matter calmly.

Outside Jiang State Capital, Meng Chuan and Meng An walked side by side under the night sky. “You’re leaving tonight?” asked Meng Chuan. Meng An nodded. “I’ve bid farewell to Grandfather and company. It’s time to leave.”

Meng Chuan nodded. With a flip of his hand, he took out a golden talisman and a purple talisman. “This is a Void Transference Talisman, and this is a Spacetime Teleportation Talisman. Take them.”

“Void Transference Talisman?” Meng An looked at the two talismans in front of him in shock.

He knew that Archean Mountain no longer had any Void Transference Talismans. At the very least, they couldn’t find one in the treasure vaults that were open to Supremacies.

They were only available in Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s higher-level treasure vaults.

“The Void Transference Talisman can be activated with a thought. It can allow one to cross several river systems instantly,” said Meng Chuan. “Under normal circumstances, it can save one’s life. As for the Spacetime Teleportation Talisman, it’s even stronger. No matter where you are, under normal circumstances, it can help you escape once it’s activated. All you need to do is follow your senses and return to Three Bay River System.”

“Flee back to our homeworld?” Meng An found his father’s words unbelievable. “Flee from a distant river zone to our homeworld?”

“You can return, no matter how far away you are.” Meng Chuan flipped his hand and took out two black talismans. “These two are Undying Talismans. Normally, this gives you an undying body for two hours. If you encounter a fatal attack, it will automatically activate. After activating them, you can use the Void Transference Talisman or the Spacetime Teleportation Talisman to escape.”

Meng Chuan looked at his son. “One Void Transference Talisman and one Spacetime Teleportation Talisman. It means that you have two chances of escaping. If you use both of them, you have to return quickly. It’s temporarily not suitable for you to roam the outer realm without life-preservation means,” said Meng Chuan. “Dad...” Meng An looked at his father. He knew how precious a Void Transference Talisman was. Before heading to the outer realm, he had naturally read many dossiers and knew of the Spacetime Dominion Map. However, he had never heard of Spacetime Teleportation Talismans. From just Meng Chuan’s description of it, its powers far exceeded a Void Transference Talisman’s.

Meng Chuan looked at his son. “You only have two chances of escape.”

“I’ll take my leave.” Meng An didn’t say anything else.

“Remember, this is your homeworld,” said Meng Chuan softly. “If you can come back, come back often. Visit your family. Don’t stay outside for too long. If you stay too long, you won’t be able to see many people.” Meng An nodded heavily. “Yes.” He couldn’t bear to part with his homeworld. However, he had to head out and create his own future.

Rip!

The world membrane tore apart; Meng An flew through the rift and entered the outer realm.

Meng Chuan silently watched this scene. His son was only a Supremacy, but he had to head to a mystic realm in a distant river zone. Even if he did become an Imperial Lord and had another true body, unless he used the Spacetime Teleportation Talisman, he would probably only be able to cross river zones and return to his homeworld after reaching the Tribulation realm.

How long would that take?

Hundreds of years? Thousands of years?

Meng Chuan felt mixed emotions.

Meng An rushed out of the world membrane rift and arrived in the outer realm. When he saw the outer realm void, the Grand Yang Star, and the Grand Yin Star, he was somewhat shocked. He turned his head to look at his homeworld and his father before nodding slightly.

Buzz!

Following that, purple light enveloped Meng An, and he instantly disappeared.

Meng Chuan’s karma with his son was very deep. The bloodline connection between them made Meng Chuan’s perception of Meng An even clearer.

He could sense that his son had instantly arrived at a distant river zone. It was much further away than the Ancient Magus River Zone. There was even a mysterious force that blocked Meng Chuan’s perception.

It’s time to cultivate. Meng Chuan turned and left. He had to prepare for his first Essence Soul Tribulation.
