Chapter 294: Loyalty Through the Ages

“Brother Chen, where does this come from?”

Mu Ye was quite puzzled by Chen Ansheng’s words.

He was sure he had never met Chen Ansheng before.

Chen Ansheng smiled mysteriously and said, “Perhaps you know an Immortal King with the surname Mu. He not only possesses a Ascension Pool but also a royal-level talisman!”

Why did Chen Ansheng dare to reveal such a secret?

Because after his spiritual power became extremely strong, he could sense the emotional fluctuations of Immortal Kings, which led him to judge that Li Tai’a and Mu Ye would not harbor malice towards him due to external factors.

Moreover, with the impending war, Chen Ansheng had long prepared to lend his full support to Li Tai’a.

Currently, he was not strong enough to defeat an Immortal King, so all his hopes rested on the royal-level talisman!

To put it simply, he had long been prepared to lend the talisman to Li Tai’a for use.

Why hide something that would be taken out sooner or later?

“Immortal King with the surname Mu, Ascension Pool, royal-level talisman…”

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye mumbled, feeling dazed.

“Could it be that Brother Chen has seen my grandfather!”

This series of descriptions was very similar to his long-lost grandfather.

Of course, many in the immortal realm could meet these conditions.

“It’s likely due to the similarity between your sword intent and that of the deceased Immortal King Mu,” said Chen Ansheng.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye’s eyes reddened.

This sword intent was his ancestral ultimate skill, and without the family bloodline, it was nearly impossible for others to practice.

Thus, he was certain that what Chen Ansheng spoke of was indeed his long-lost grandfather.

“My grandfather, has he ascended?” Mu Ye’s expression fell, “May I ask Brother Chen, where did you see him?”

Chen Ansheng replied, “Before my ascension, I accidentally wandered into a forbidden area in a realm called the Mysterious Abyss, where there was a powerful sword immortal who passed away. Perhaps he recognized my purity in the sword body and my decent sword cultivation talent, granting me his legacy…”

In reality, Chen Ansheng did not obtain the legacy of that Immortal King Mu; rather, he had tricked his disciple Xuanyuan Lie to obtain the Ascension Pool and the royal-level talisman.

“Brother Chen, may I borrow the talisman for a look?”

In order to verify, Mu Ye made a request.

This surprised Li Tai’a, who was standing by.

If the talisman truly belonged to the Mu family, what if Mu Ye wanted it back and Chen Ansheng refused? That would likely lead to a fight.

If it really came to that, Chen Ansheng would surely not be a match for Mu Ye, so who would he help?

Li Tai’a mulled over this for a few moments and already had his answer in mind.

The talisman and the Ascension Pool were indeed the legacy Chen Ansheng obtained from the lower realm, and naturally, they belonged to him.

If Mu Ye really wanted to seize it, Li Tai’a would definitely not stand idly by; after all, this was about helping righteousness, not family!

“Brother Mu, feel free to take a look.”

To Li Tai’a’s surprise, Chen Ansheng did not hesitate at all and directly summoned a royal-level talisman, sending it to Mu Ye with his celestial power.

“Brother Mu, be careful not to damage Brother Chen’s treasure.”

Li Tai’a timely reminded him, clearly indicating to Mu Ye that this item now belonged to Chen Ansheng and urging him not to have any other thoughts.

Mu Ye did not think much of it and accepted the royal-level talisman.

Buzz…

When the talisman landed in his hand, it trembled slightly and produced a sound like a bloodline resonance.

“Yes, indeed it carries my grandfather’s aura.”

Mu Ye closed his eyes deeply, feeling that familiar presence, unable to stop a few tears from falling.

In the next moment, Mu Ye opened his eyes, gripping the talisman tightly and evoking a strange celestial force.

“Vroom vroom vroom!”

The talisman shook violently, trying to break free from Mu Ye’s grip.

Seeing this, Li Tai’a quickly called out, “Brother Mu! Be mindful; this item belongs to Brother Chen!”

Mu Ye glanced at Li Tai’a, unable to help but smile, “Brother Li, what do you take me for? We’ve been brothers for many years; don’t you know me? My actions are only to help Brother Chen unlock the talisman’s inheritance seal!”

Immediately, Mu Ye forced his blood essence out and dripped it into the talisman.

“Open for me!”

Swish!

A blue light surged, and the talisman’s color changed to become as clear and translucent as jade.

“It’s done.” Mu Ye released the talisman and said, “Brother Chen, this talisman is actually a ‘Boundless’ talisman; it was just sealed by my grandfather. Only those with the direct bloodline of our family can unlock it. Now that the talisman is unrestricted, take care of it.”

The talisman flew to Chen Ansheng.

Chen Ansheng asked in surprise, “Brother Mu, what is a Boundless talisman?”

Mu Ye explained, “You can simply understand that under certain conditions, it can enhance its quality. As long as resources are sufficient, upgrading it to an Emperor-level talisman is not impossible. This is an invaluable treasure!”

Hearing this, Chen Ansheng was overjoyed but did not show it. Instead, he said, “Brother Mu, since this talisman is a legacy of your family, why don’t you take it back?”

Mu Ye immediately replied, “How could that be possible! My grandfather chose you as a disciple, so this talisman belongs to you, and no one can change that. Even if you, Brother Chen, were to smash it and throw it away, it’s your decision; how could I, Mu, dare to interfere! Brother Chen, please don’t place me in a position of disloyalty, and in the future, I hope you won’t mention this matter again!”

The rejection was very straightforward!

“In that case, I can only follow the late Immortal King’s wishes and keep the talisman,” said Chen Ansheng as he put the talisman away.

“Hahaha, great.”

The two did not quarrel over the talisman, which made Li Tai’a feel quite gratified.

No wonder these were the brothers he had acknowledged; their characters were beyond reproach!

“It seems our brotherhood is predestined by the heavens; we shall share blessings and face difficulties together in the future!”

“Very good!”

“Agreed!”

The three exchanged smiles.

“Brother Chen, earlier you mentioned having a way to assist me; did you mean this talisman?” Li Tai’a asked.

“Exactly.” Chen Ansheng nodded and said, “I originally planned to dissolve the bond of ownership for this item and hand it over to you, Brother Li, to help you through the crisis. Who would have thought it would also forge a bond with Brother Mu, haha.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tai’a was immensely touched.

How precious was this talisman?

How many Immortal Kings and Immortal Sovereigns had perished trying to seize a talisman?

Brother Chen had already planned to voluntarily dissolve the bond so he could help him through his difficulties!

Not to mention anything else, just this show of trust made Li Tai’a feel like crying.

“I, Li, did not mistakenly acknowledge you as a brother. But let’s agree on one thing in advance: once we get through this crisis, you must take back the talisman, or else I will not recognize you as my older brother. Can you agree to that?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll follow Brother Li’s arrangements.”

Chen Ansheng nodded with a smile.

“With Brother Chen’s intervention today to heal Brother Mu, along with the talisman’s assistance, we are sure to overcome this crisis. This is truly double happiness; let’s drink and not return until we’re intoxicated!”

“Then I will risk my life to accompany both of you!”

Afterward, the three went to Li Tai’a’s forbidden palace, drinking heartily and chatting joyously.

A few days later, news came from scouts that several forces were converging toward Tianyu Island.

“Hmph, these unruly brats. Today, this king will kill without burying them, and I will crush their bones to dust!”

Li Tai’a had temporarily secured the talisman and personally summoned three thousand soldiers, preparing to give the raiders who came to attack Tianyu Island a great surprise.
