Tianfeng City, Governor Mansion.
Xu Nian was sitting inside the grand hall of the mansion with Chen Tiansheng.
The Governor Mansion was more understated than Xu Nian had imagined, grand yet not ostentatious.
"Xu Nian, have you broken through to the Battle Sect?" Chen Tiansheng asked with a smile.
"Yes, I just broke through last night," Xu Nian responded. Find exclusive stories on empire
"Not bad, not bad, a sixteen-year-old Battle Sect. It's rare in the entire empire, you truly are a once in a millennium talent," Chen Tiansheng remarked, his eyes filled with admiration.
Xu Nian just smiled. His achievents today were not only due to his talent but also due to opportunities and effort.
"Xu Nian, during your battle with Yu Cheng, did you use your Talent Phenonon?" Chen Tiansheng asked again.
"Yes, Lord Governor!" Xu Nian replied.
Since the Governor had already noticed, there was no reason to hide it any longer.
"Could you show your Talent Phenonon?" Chen Tiansheng quickly requested, a hint of excitent in his eyes.
Xu Nian thought for a mont and then activated his Talent Phenonon.
"Buzz!"
Instantly, the earth behind Xu Nian was vast, with Silver Moon high in the sky and Immortal King dominating the heavens.
Chen Tiansheng, seeing the Heaven and Earth Phenonon behind Xu Nian, imdiately stood up from his chair, his expression becoming incredibly agitated.
"Good, good, good, Wudi is finally saved," Chen Tiansheng said excitedly, almost bringing tears to his plump face.
"What does this have to do with Wudi?" Xu Nian asked, looking perplexed as he retracted the Immortal King Laurel Map.
Although he had guessed that Chen Tiansheng needed a favor, he hadn't expected it to be related to Chen Wudi.
Hearing Xu Nian's question, Chen Tiansheng also tried to control his excitent, smiled at Xu Nian, and said, "Xu Nian, you're about the sa age as Wudi. Since you are Wudi's brother, why don't you call Uncle Chen?"
"Uncle Chen, what exactly has happened to Wudi? Whatever you need help with, just say it. If it's within my ability, I'll definitely help," Xu Nian quickly replied.
"Wudi is fortunate to have a brother like you," Chen Tiansheng said with a beaming smile, continuing, "No rush, let's sit down and talk slowly. Here's the thing, Wudi also possesses a unique physique, and it's quite a powerful one—the Star Battle Body."
"Star Battle Body?" Xu Nian's face showed a look of surprise.
He hadn't expected Chen Wudi to also be soone with a unique physique. He'd always felt there was sothing special about Chen Wudi but had never imagined he was one of the legendary individuals with a special physique.
"Yes, the Star Battle Body. Nurous special physiques have appeared in the history of Tianhen Continent, but only four are famously known," Chen Tiansheng began to explain. "They are the Immortal Dominator Body, the Star Battle Body, the Innate Sword Spirit Body, and the God King Dominator Body. Among them, the Immortal Dominator Body and the God King Dominator Body are suitable for Body Cultivation, while the Star Battle Body and the Innate Sword Spirit Body are suited for Spirit Cultivation. Anyone with a special physique, if they can grow, will surely beco an Emperor-level strong man."
Xu Nian nodded and then asked, "By that, Wudi's talent should be very strong, right? Why is his cultivation progressing so slowly?"
Last ti during the Academy competition, Xu Nian had t Chen Wudi and noticed that Chen Wudi had just broken through to the Two-Star Warrior Realm, only slightly faster than an ordinary person and had not shown excessively unearthly abilities.
"That's right, you've noticed too. Indeed, Wudi's talent was very strong, legendary Holy Level. Under my training, he had already reached the One-star Battle Sect realm at the age of twelve, advancing rapidly day by day," Chen Tiansheng said sentintally, pride evident on his face.
Twelve years old, One-star Battle Sect?
Xu Nian widened his eyes, astonished at how heavenly Chen Wudi's abilities were.
"What happened afterward? How did Wudi's cultivation regress?" Xu Nian hurriedly pressed for more information.
"Latterly, that was four years ago when Wudi went out to play and encountered the Prince Zi Feng of the Imperial Family, who possesses Emperor-level talent. Driven by jealousy, he utilized his superior strength to forcibly seize the foundation of Wudi's Star Battle Body, causing Wudi to lose his cultivation. Wudi's talent also plumted from Holy Level to King-level," Chen Tiansheng said through gritted teeth, clenching his fists tightly, his eyes filled with rage.
Xu Nian frowned deeply, never expecting Chen Wudi to have endured such a tragic ordeal.
"I am a useless father. My son suffered such humiliation, and I couldn't avenge him. The Divine King favors Prince Zi Feng the most. After he found out, he rely confined Prince Zi Feng for a month. I couldn't accept it, but what power did I have to contend with the Imperial Family? So, I could only swallow this bitterness," Chen Tiansheng's shoulders trembled as tears fell from his eyes.
Xu Nian also felt a sense of helplessness, knowing the power of the Emperor was too strong for a re Prefectural Governor to oppose.
"Uncle Chen, Wudi won't bla you!" Xu Nian quickly consoled.
Chen Tiansheng managed a wan smile, helplessly saying, "You're right. Wudi indeed doesn't bla . He even comforted , saying he can start Cultivation anew, slowly if he must. I thought it would all pass, but I didn't expect Prince Zi Feng to be so malicious. Not only did he seize Wudi's Star Battle Body foundation, but he also secretly implanted the Devil Spirit Flower Poison within Wudi's body."
"Devil Spirit Flower Poison?" Xu Nian was deeply shocked, his face showing a startled expression.
The Devil Spirit Flower Poison is a very slow-acting poison. Ordinary people being poisoned wouldn't matter much, but for Cultivators, it is deadly. As their Cultivation and the Spiritual Energy or Gang Qi in their bodies beco stronger, the poison's potency increases, causing the infected person to experience unbearable pain until their insides rupture and they die.
"The malice of Prince Zi Feng is extre," Xu Nian's eyes sparked with a murderous intent.
"Alas, I bla myself for being useless. Wudi is such a sensible child. Even knowing his own poisoning, he still cultivated to please . When I discovered it, the poison had spread throughout his body, and now he won't live past three months." Chen Tiansheng's face stread with tears.
Xu Nian's expression darkened as well, thinking of his encounters with Chen Wudi, rembering how Wudi had gifted him a pill, recalling Chen Wudi's often carefree, playful deanor, yet never suspecting the imnse hardships Chen Wudi was enduring behind his playful exterior.
"Uncle Chen, since you've co to ask for my help, you must have found a way to save Wudi. Tell , let's see if there's anything I can do to help Wudi," Xu Nian firmly said, looking earnestly at Chen Tiansheng.
Chen Tiansheng, visibly grateful, finally spoke, "I once t a sage who told there's a way to cure the Devil Spirit Flower Poison. I've already prepared the other dicinal ingredients needed; now I'm only missing one crucial catalyst."
"What catalyst?" Xu Nian pursued the question.
Chen Tiansheng hesitated a mont before pleading, "A blood sample from soone with a strong physique, the more potent the Bloodline Power, the better. I had previously let a woman with the Innate Sword Spirit Body try, and her blood could only temporarily suppress the poison within Wudi but couldn't cure him. I initially thought of grasping at straws, asking you to try it, but today, seeing your Talent Phenonon awake, though I don't know what your physique is, it's clearly stronger than the Innate Sword Spirit Body. Thus, I ask you to try using your blood."
"Alright! No problem! If what that sage said is right, then my blood will definitely work," Xu Nian promptly replied without hesitation.
His Green Lotus Battle Body might not be enough, but he also has the Nine Dragon Supre Body, which is the strongest physique in the world.
"That's wonderful, no matter the outco, Uncle Chen is profoundly grateful to you," Chen Tiansheng said excitedly.
