Chapter 095: Message

Hearing Chen Jianzhou mention the injuries on his body, Chen Xiao’s face darkened instantly.
Chen Xiao had already realized that his grandfather was not an abler but a martial artist from ancient times. If not for that, Chen Jianzhou would likely have died long ago.
“Grandpa, stop talking for now. Let me heal your injuries.”
Chen Xiao immediately interrupted Chen Jianzhou, wanting to treat his wounds.
Chen Jianzhou waved his hand and said, “It’s useless. The injuries on me are beyond even a seventh-tier Water-type sorcerer’s ability to fix.”
If it were physical injuries, as long as they weren’t extremely severe, a martial artist’s vital energy could heal them. But Chen Jianzhou’s injuries were far more serious—his meridians and bones were severely damaged, and he was almost completely shattered. If not for his formidable vital energy, he would have died long ago.
As for injuries to the bones and meridians, especially ones as severe as Chen Jianzhou’s, ordinary Water-type sorcerers were powerless.
But just because other Water-type sorcerers couldn’t help didn’t mean Chen Xiao couldn’t. With the help of his Life Water and combined spiritual spells, even more severely injured beings could be healed.
“Grandpa…”
Chen Xiao waved his hand, and a transparent water curtain enveloped the small thatched house. Then, with a slight grip, the Star-Moon Staff appeared in his hand.
The Star-Moon Staff was two feet long, with a crescent moon at one end and a pentagram at the other. It was extremely powerful. If it fell into the hands of an ordinary sorcerer, it could likely boost their strength by 30%, making it worthy of being called a divine artifact.
Seeing the Star-Moon Staff in Chen Xiao’s hand, Chen Jianzhou’s pupils contracted slightly, and his expression grew solemn. He didn’t know what method Chen Xiao would use to treat him. But after all, it was his grandson, so Chen Jianzhou wouldn’t refuse his kindness.
The Star-Moon Staff slowly traced patterns in the air, with green spiritual spells appearing one after another in the void. At this moment, Chen Xiao’s mental strength was several times greater than it had been in the Thousand Souls Realm last time.
Moreover, thanks to the two space crystals, his strength had reached the mid-fourth tier. Returning home had further impacted his spirit, and now his mental strength was at the peak of the mid-fourth tier.
With this, Chen Xiao could cast combined spiritual spells even more effortlessly.
Nine huge green runes, each one meter in diameter, floated quietly in midair. Moments later, the nine runes rapidly merged together, forming a green wave.
“This… this is…” Chen Jianzhou was stunned upon seeing this. His whole body trembled slightly. “Is this a combined spiritual spell?”
“Yes, it is!” Chen Xiao’s eyes sharpened, and the Star-Moon Staff emitted intense light. The green wave surged into Chen Jianzhou’s body.
In an instant, Chen Jianzhou’s body turned green, with vibrant energy flowing through it, rapidly repairing the injuries to his meridians, bones, and even bone marrow.

Catalyzed by this set of combined spiritual spells, the Water of Life was no longer just water of life but a life force of the water element. Though it couldn’t bring the dead back to life or restore bones to flesh, it could still save anyone as long as they still had a breath left.

Liu Xu’s internal organs had been shattered, yet Chen Xiao managed to save him with just a trace of the Water of Life—this alone showed just how terrifying this power truly was.

“Pfft—” Suddenly, Chen Jianzhou opened his mouth, and a mouthful of black blood sprayed out. It was the toxins accumulated over years of overwork in his body, now all forced out by the Water of Life.

“I… I’m really completely healed?” Chen Jianzhou looked at his hands in disbelief.

“Huh…” Chen Xiao slowly exhaled. Then, with a wave of his hand, the barrier above his head disappeared, and the life force scattered in the air began to slowly spread around, gradually enveloping the entire village.

That life force, as if it had its own life, slowly seeped into the bodies of the villagers, silently strengthening their bodies.

This was Chen Xiao’s way of repaying the villagers—a strong, healthy body is something no amount of money can buy.

“Grandpa, how do you feel?” In Chen Xiao’s mental sea, the main divine entity moved slightly, and its power slowly flowed out, merging with his mental energy to replenish what had been consumed earlier.

Chen Jianzhou nodded slowly. “I’m fully healed. I never thought the severe injuries I suffered eighteen years ago could be cured today.”

At this moment, Chen Jianzhou looked radiant, with no trace of his previous weakness. The serious injuries to his bones and meridians had all been healed, even making him stronger than before.

However, the true energy that Chen Jianzhou had neglected for so many years couldn’t be restored overnight. Over the years, he had used his true energy merely to sustain his life and keep his bones and meridians functioning, causing it to decline significantly.

“Good, good, good,” Chen Jianzhou repeated three times, looking at Chen Xiao with great satisfaction. It wasn’t because Chen Xiao had healed his injuries, but because seeing his grandson achieve such things—which grandfather wouldn’t be pleased?

“Grandpa, how did you get those injuries? And what do you mean by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Seal?” Chen Xiao asked now.

“Xiaozhi, I’ve changed my mind,” Chen Jianzhou said, shaking his head. “If I tell you now how I got these injuries, what would you do?”

“Naturally, I’d avenge you, Grandpa!” Chen Xiao clenched his fists tightly. With his bones and meridians shattered, such injuries were nothing short of living torture.

“That’s why I can’t tell you,” Chen Jianzhou said. “When your own strength reaches the seventh level, and you can defeat seventh-level warriors without any external help, then I’ll tell you the answer—and also… where your parents are.”

Chen Xiao’s body trembled violently.

“Grandpa, are you saying my parents are still alive?” Chen Xiao’s breathing became rapid.

“That’s right,” Chen Jianzhou nodded. “But I can’t tell you now. If you try to go after them before your strength is sufficient, you’ll only end up dying.”

“Grandpa, what if I told you that I have three seventh-tier powerhouses under my command? Would that not work?” Chen Xiao’s tone was somewhat urgent. His parents were a constant pain in Chen Xiao’s heart. He had always thought they had died in an accident, never expecting to hear that they were still alive.
“Three seventh-tier powerhouses under your command?” Chen Jianzhou frowned and then sneered. “Are those people under your command considered your strength? In this world, many can bypass your subordinates and easily eliminate you! External forces are just that—external. Your own strength is what truly matters!” Chen Jianzhou said seriously.
Chen Xiao slowly exhaled before saying, “Grandpa, I understand.”
“As for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Seal, it’s an extremely powerful sealing spell. Grandpa obtained it by chance back then and used it to seal away your supernatural bloodline, not wanting you to get involved in the world of supernatural abilities. But who would have thought…” Saying this, Chen Jianzhou shook his head slightly, filled with emotion.
Chen Xiao remained silent.
“And that combined spirit spell you used just now…” Chen Jianzhou changed the subject and asked.
“I learned it from the Soul of China,” Chen Xiao replied. Although he was very curious about the truth, his grandpa refused to tell him, leaving him with no choice.
“The Soul of China…” Chen Jianzhou pondered for a long time before slowly saying, “No matter how far you grow in the future, remember—never provoke the Heavenly Group of the Soul of China.”
