Su Hongyuan opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Su Chen with cloudy eyes. There was a slight smile on his lips, and he said in a hoarse and low voice.
"Qingtian said that you are the great genius of our Su family, with the best spiritual roots!"
"Cough cough cough!"
A violent cough sounded, and Su Chen wanted to step forward, but Su Hongyuan waved his hand.
"Don't worry about me, it's the same old problem!"
Su Hongyuan took two deep breaths and said again: "You will all be the pillars of my family in the future. I hope you can lead the Su family further."
"Grandpa doesn't have much time left. I'm afraid he won't be able to accompany you."
Although it was their first meeting, Su Chen could feel the kindness and doting conveyed by Su Hongyuan.
Su He's daughter Su Qianqian burst into tears and cried softly.
There was an aura of sadness permeating the tunnel.
Su Qingtian's eyes also showed sadness and deep self-blame.
To put it bluntly, it was all because of him that Su Hongyuan became what he is today. Without that incident, his father would not have ended up like this.
The lifespan of the half-step Void Refining Stage is at least five thousand years. Su Hongyuan became like this when he was only fifteen hundred years old. All of this was because of him.
"hateful!"
Su Qingtian clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Su Hongyuan turned to look at Su Qingtian, with a soft smile on his face: "My child, it's okay, everything has its own destiny. That incident was not your problem at the beginning, so you don't have to blame yourself too much."
Su Qingtian said nothing. He clenched his fists and trembled all over, trying his best to suppress the grief in his heart.
It has been more than ten years since the Su family entered Mingyue City. This is the first time Su Hongyuan has asked all of them to come over.
This also means that his life is coming to an end.
Su Hongyuan said helplessly: "I heard from Qingyun that the four major families have joined forces to target you. Unfortunately, I can only stay in the Su family and cannot use my last remaining strength to clear the way for you."
A formation is set up here, and he is connected to the formation and survives by absorbing the power of the earth.
Once out of the formation, he will die quickly.
Even if he wanted to use his last strength to help the Su family, he was really powerless.
Su Qingyun said with sad eyes: "Dad, you have done a lot for us, there is no need to do this."
"You have been with us all the way, and we can go on the rest."
Su Hongyuan had a weak smile on his face: "That way...I feel relieved."
On the other side, Su Chen looked at Su Hongyuan intently. The problem with the old man seemed to be a little different.
He realized that Su Hongyuan's life was not weak because of his longevity problem, but because his body and soul were weak. In this case, the essence and blood were usually burned, or some taboo techniques were used, which caused backlash and self-destruction of the body. .
Su Hongyuan glanced at them again. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone: "I will have no regrets in this life if I can see you for the last time."
"You all please leave, I want to have some quiet time."
Su Qingtian and others all looked sad. They all knew that there would be no next meeting.
The aura on Su Hongyuan's body is weakening rapidly, and it can last for two or three days at most.
Although Su Hongyuan has never walked out of this tunnel in the years since he entered Mingyue City, he is still the pillar of the Su family. Without him, the Wang family would have joined forces with the Yuan family and the Li family to attack the Su family.
If they weren't afraid of Su Hongyuan's remaining power, how could the two gods of the Su family resist the three families joining forces.
To be precise, there are four families, because the He family's original alliance with the Su family was mostly for Su Hongyuan's sake.
Su Qingshan's eldest son Su Minghu suddenly said: "Grandpa, isn't there any way to save you? There are many natural and earthly treasures in Mingyue City that can extend life, so it's not particularly difficult to deal with."
Other juniors also looked at Su Hongyuan with doubts in their eyes.
Su Hongyuan opened his eyes, with a look of doting on his face: "Grandpa's illness is not a problem of longevity, but a dryness of Qi and blood. It cannot be saved unless it is something against the will of heaven. This kind of thing is rare in the world."
"Grandpa is already very happy that you have such a heart."
Su Minghu's eyes were full of sadness. The Su family valued family ties. Even though it was the first time they met Su Hongyuan, blood was thicker than water. They didn't want Su Hongyuan to die like this.
Although Su Hongyuan gave people a very calm feeling, they also felt that the old man had a deep sense of powerlessness.
No one wants to die, not even Su Hongyuan.
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly spoke.
"Dad, I want to stay and talk to the old man alone, is that okay?"
Su Qingtian nodded sadly when he heard this, turned around and left the cave without saying a word.
The others didn't say anything after hearing this. Su Chen now had a very high status in the clan, so he still had to give him some face, so they all exited the cave.
Soon, only Su Chen and Su Hongyuan were left in the entire cave.
Su Hongyuan's face was kind, but his voice was weak: "Child, what do you want to say to me?"
Su Chen was silent for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Old man, what are the conditions needed to save you?"
No matter what the reason was, he didn't want Su Hongyuan to die like this.
Hearing this, Su Hongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said helplessly:
"You want to ask your master for help, right? Qingtian told me about you, but my situation is different. If it had been a few years earlier, I might have been able to be saved, but now my blood and essence have dried up, and my meridians have collapsed. My physical body has collapsed, and any treasure that can save me must at least be of heaven level."
"And it must be the kind of heaven-defying treasure that makes the living dead and gives birth to bones."
Su Hongyuan's business was sluggish, so he persuaded Su Chen not to waste time on him.
Su Qingtian told him about Su Chen's master, but in Su Hongyuan's view, his problems were too serious and there was nothing he could do about it.
Suddenly, a huge life force emerged from the tunnel, so strong that Su Hongyuan's weak aura became much stronger.
Su Hongyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stared at the red fruit in Su Chen's hand in disbelief.
This fruit has golden patterns on it, the Taoist rhyme flows, and the life essence flows inside it. You can tell at a glance that it is not a common thing.
Su Chen's tone was calm: "Old man, it's just heaven level."
"This thing is called Ksitigarbha fruit. It can bring the bones of the dead to life. It should be enough to solve your problems."
Su Hongyuan's eyes widened, and his originally weak face was full of excitement. Although he didn't know what this fruit was, he knew very well that as long as he ate this fruit, his problems would be solved.
Heaven level!
It’s really a heavenly level!
"This...was also given by your master?"
When Su Qingtian told him that Su Chen had a master, he originally thought that it would be a period of integration, so he never thought that Su Chen could obtain such a treasure as the heaven level.
But Su Chen gave him a big surprise.
From this point of view, his master seemed to be stronger than he thought.
Su Chen said without blushing, "Of course, Heavenly Level is not a treasure."
