Heart Higher than the Heavens(III)

Since the pebble had been obtained, he didn't see any reason why he should continue to stay. But he then realized that two figures were descending from the sky. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was his grandparents.

"Walking on the air like stairs. What realm are this two on? That's not important! Why are they being pretencious?" He thought about all this as he took a bite of the carrot watching them descend with some envy.

It was genuine envy, after all not everyone could walk on the air.

"Grandson has chosen a pebble! But it seems that your way of doing things is very interesting. You actually targeted the fish instead of picking up a pebble by the Lotus Pond." He heard his grandfather speak.

He just reacted with some laugh. "I didn't do it intentionally! By the way, what is this water made of?" He asked as he looked at the water again. He could only feel after he collected the fish that this water was far from simple. Without power at the Body commander stage, it is impossible to pick a pebble from the water. But he managed to disperse it, and that was why Mei Lin was very pleased with him.

"Oh! You've seen something!" Mei Lin was the one that spoke this time. She looked at him with a kind expression. She was very fond of her grandson.

"This is not ordinary water? I collected it about fifty years ago on an adventure. Even your father was not born yet?'' hearing her words he was shocked.

He looked at her in disbelief, and this was not a lie. She actually looked like someone in their early thirties that aged well.

It was also only after a while did he seem to recover, "Yes!This world has people that have lived for thousands of years. What do you expect!" He thought to himself.

But she could see his expression, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Look even our grandson thinks I still got it!" She transmitted a message to the old man beside her.

But he didn't respond, he was afraid of sleeping on the floor.

"Actually I more impressed by your saber technique! You have reached the completion stage so fast. The only thing you lack is actual combat experience. From now onwards, you will follow Yue Li. She will organize for you to train your combat. I heard you are among those going out to train."

"Yue Li! Come here!" She called out and a woman that had brought him over came forward. She was very respectful before this old woman.

Watching all of this happen, Wang Lu was thinking, "I knew it. How could she just call me back for nothing. But I like it!" He thought as he looked forward to the training. He felt that perhaps only through actuall combat could his enlightenment be enhanced. He had started to suspect that the enlightenment funtion was just far too powerful than he imagined.

He had realized the enlightenment point he used seemed to have not stopped functioning, and wondered if this would be infinite. If that was the case, he could practice this saber technique forever without worrying about enlightenment again.

But he was also afraid, because if this was the case, it also meant that gaining other enlightenment points wouldn't be as easier he had thought.

He was even more so, afraid because he had never been able to raise his enlightenment points past 13 after all this years. But that was not all, he couldn't even he able to see other techniques appear on the panel except for attack techniques.

Now he had the chance to train in combat, he wouldn't refuse at all.

"Thank you grandma!" He bowed and thanked her. After all he could see the concern she had for him through this action. Perhaps others might want to spend more time with their grandchildren and catch up, but this was not very useful.

Only by making your descendants stronger can they have the ability to live longer. Mei Lin was able to see through things clearly. It also was able to show Wang Lu that she was not a simple person.

Watching the two of them leave, Wang Chengshan asked in confusion."Why do you seen to be grinning from ear to ear after your grandson thanked you."

"You really are helpless! Our grandson has the heart higher than the heavens. He could see through my intention to train his combat and was appreative."

"Is that why you are pushing that girl Yue Li over to him. I remember that just a few years ago, that friend of yours asked you to pass her over but you refused." Wang Chengshan seemed very interested.

"You think I don't know what that witch was thinking! How could I allow her to get her wish. Besides, Yue Li has someone she likes! I just want to take this chance to allow her to leave the clan and explore the outside world. Perhaps it could temper her mind following around a young man like this. After all the spirit of young men is very contagious. It should allow her to understand herself if she is lucky." Mei Lin spoke with serious tone.

She was implying that it was a chance and if Yue Li was lucky, perhaps it could allow her to ascend the heavens or remain in the pit.

"No wonder! But why didn't you allow her to follow our son back then? You are very biased." Wang Chengshan teased her, but she rolled her eyes.

"Do you remember our son at this age? Reckless! Rebellious and unwilling to suffer a loss. All of this was only the begining, he even didn't follow the good plans I had for him and just practiced the basic Indestructible Demon Body. What is the result now?" She was asking him at the same time lamenting.

"Talent is indeed not something our son lacks, but he didn't have the drive to work hard. He was able to reach his current achievements and even change it has a lot to do with that girl Qin Zhu. It is why I like that daughter in-law of mine very much. She has the demeanour of this old lady." She said looking at the figure of Wang Lu vanishing from sight.

"More importantly, our grandson seems to have succeeded in whatever the clan wanted to do! I can feel even your cultivation seems to have become easier! That means he has made a marriage pact with some woman. I just don't know if he is aware of it or not!" She sighed.

Clans like that Wang clan have many things that even she has no control over. She probably also felt somewhat guilty to their grandson and thus treated him more nicely.

Wang Chengshan could see this, and sighed. "It's not your fault! My ancestor that caused all of this probably didn't even blink."

"Maybe! But why do I feel like you have some regret in your tone! Don't tell me you want to see the woman your grandson made a pact with?" Wang Chengshan suddenly felt his hair standing on end.

"I was just being nice! Why did things get to this point?" He was not sure whether to cry or laugh.
