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 achievements 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 Phenomenon?" 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 me your Talent Phenomenon?" Chen Tiansheng quickly requested, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

    Xu Nian thought for a moment and then activated his Talent Phenomenon.

    "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 Phenomenon behind Xu Nian, immediately 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.

    "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 merely 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 mere Prefectural Governor to oppose.

    "Uncle Chen, Wudi won''t blame you!" Xu Nian quickly consoled.

    Chen Tiansheng managed a wan smile, helplessly saying, "You''re right. Wudi indeed doesn''t blame me. He even comforted me, 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 become 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 extreme," Xu Nian''s eyes sparked with a murderous intent.

    "Alas, I blame myself for being useless. Wudi is such a sensible child. Even knowing his own poisoning, he still cultivated to please me. When I discovered it, the poison had spread throughout his body, and now he won''t live past three months." Chen Tiansheng''s face streamed with tears.

    Xu Nian''s expression darkened as well, thinking of his encounters with Chen Wudi, remembering how Wudi had gifted him a pill, recalling Chen Wudi''s often carefree, playful demeanor, yet never suspecting the immense hardships Chen Wudi was enduring behind his playful exterior.

    "Uncle Chen, since you''ve come to ask for my help, you must have found a way to save Wudi. Tell me, 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 met a sage who told me there''s a way to cure the Devil Spirit Flower Poison. I''ve already prepared the other medicinal ingredients needed; now I''m only missing one crucial catalyst."

    "What catalyst?" Xu Nian pursued the question.

    Chen Tiansheng hesitated a moment before pleading, "A blood sample from someone 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 Phenomenon 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 Supreme Body, which is the strongest physique in the world.

    "That''s wonderful, no matter the outcome, Uncle Chen is profoundly grateful to you," Chen Tiansheng said excitedly.
