Chapter 094: The Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Seal

Calculating the time, this was the first time Chen Xiao had returned home since starting college, as he was reluctant to spend money. Even during the New Year, he hadn’t come back, staying in Jinghua City to work part-time.
“Hehe, Xiaozi, you’ve turned fair after being in the city for a few days,” Chen Jianzhou said with a smile as he looked at Chen Xiao.
Hearing Chen Jianzhou’s words, Chen Xiao chuckled a few times without giving any explanation. In fact, as his strength had improved, the paleness of his skin had gradually faded, no longer as extreme as before, reaching a level that could be considered normal.
The grandfather and grandson entered the house and chatted casually about everyday matters. Chen Xiao recounted everything that had happened at school over the past year—everything except the matters related to the main divine entity and other supernatural beings—telling Chen Jianzhou everything.
The affairs involving supernatural beings were too complicated, and he didn’t want his grandfather to worry about him.
Chen Jianzhou listened quietly with a smile, interjecting from time to time, then also talking at length about what had happened in the village over the past half year. Two months ago, the neighbors slaughtered a pig and gave Chen Jianzhou two pounds of pork belly; Aunt Zhang’s cow gave birth to a calf; and so on—children scoring such-and-such grades in exams.
Though these were trivial matters, they sounded incredibly heartwarming to Chen Xiao’s ears.
“Grandpa, these are tonics I bought in Jinghua,” Chen Xiao said, handing over his travel bag and opening it.
The items inside were not street-market or supermarket goods. They were carefully selected treasures by Wan Hu, Shideli, and their team after searching across the country. Just this one bag was worth hundreds of thousands, even millions.
Knowing Chen Xiao was going back to see his grandfather, Wan Hu and the others didn’t dare neglect the task. They mobilized all their resources in the secular world to gather these priceless items.
Chen Jianzhou glanced briefly at the contents of the bag, was slightly stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, “Divide these among the villagers. If it weren’t for their care over the years, I wouldn’t have survived to this day.”
“Okay,” Chen Xiao nodded, showing no reluctance. Firstly, he didn’t know the value of these items, and secondly, he was grateful to the villagers. Without their help back then, he and Chen Jianzhou would likely have died of hunger on the streets.
Chen Xiao set the travel bag aside and said, “Grandpa, let’s go to the hospital at noon. Your health…”
Chen Xiao didn’t want to directly inject the Water of Life into Chen Jianzhou’s body, as that might make the old man suspicious. After all, no one knew his own condition better than he did. Moreover, the older generation was superstitious. If his health improved suddenly, they might start speculating, which could backfire.
By taking Chen Jianzhou to the hospital first and then taking the chance to inject the Water of Life into his body, it could be attributed to the hospital.
Seeing his grandfather nod, Chen Xiao also smiled.
Seizing this opportunity, Chen Xiao silently sent his mental energy out, slowly scanning Chen Jianzhou’s body.

But in the next moment, Chen Xiao’s expression froze, and the smile on his face became extremely stiff. Soon after, veins bulged all over his body.
Chen Jianzhou’s physical condition was completely beyond Chen Xiao’s expectations. Initially, Chen Xiao thought that Chen Jianzhou was simply old, his body aging due to various illnesses. He believed that by using Qing Shui to drain the vitality of the viruses in Chen Jianzhou’s body and then replenishing his vitality with Green Life Water, he could solve the problem.
But in reality, things turned out entirely differently.
Chen Jianzhou’s body was actually quite healthy—even healthier than Liu Xu’s, whom Chen Xiao had examined before. Although his muscles, internal organs, and various tissues were aging, it wasn’t as severe as Chen Xiao had imagined.
However, all the meridians in Chen Jianzhou’s body had broken, connected only by a faint stream of energy. His bones were covered in numerous cracks, seemingly on the verge of breaking, and it was only thanks to that stream of energy that he could still move.
“Come on, Xiaozi, go to the yard and practice the boxing style your grandfather taught you. Let’s see if you’ve forgotten it,” Chen Jianzhou said at that moment.
“Grandfather…” Chen Xiao’s throat moved violently twice, producing a sound like two doors rubbing against each other.
“Xiaozi, you’ve really made progress. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Spirit Seal didn’t even manage to seal your bloodline,” Chen Jianzhou laughed. “Everyone thought we, grandfather and grandson, were dead, but who would have thought we’re still alive?”
Chen Xiao took a deep breath. A cool warmth flowed from his main divine entity, calming his emotions.
With a calm expression, he remained silent, listening quietly to Chen Jianzhou’s words. He now understood that his background wasn’t as simple as he thought.
“Xiaozi, what level has your ability reached?” Chen Jianzhou asked.
“Fourth level,” Chen Xiao replied softly.
“Fourth level? How is that possible?” Chen Jianzhou exclaimed. “Back then, your ability potential only just met the orange standard. How could you reach the fourth level in less than a year?”
Chen Jianzhou stared at Chen Xiao in shock.
“Grandfather, I…” He realized that his grandfather and his own background weren’t as simple as he had thought. Fortunately, he was about to tell Chen Jianzhou about his main divine entity and the main divine space. After all, it was his grandfather who had raised him for over a decade—his closest relative. If he had to hide something beneficial from his own kin, could he even be called human?
But just as he was about to speak, Chen Xiao horrorously realized he couldn’t say a word. The words got stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered.
“The main divine entity and the main divine space are of utmost importance,” Shui Miao’s voice rang in Chen Xiao’s mind. “Until your strength reaches the level of a main deity, you won’t be able to break the seal on the main divine entity. You can’t reveal anything about it, not even to your closest relatives.”
Hearing Shui Miao’s words, Chen Xiao had no choice but to give up.

“I obtained something special, and it was that very thing that awakened my bloodline and accelerated my training progress,” Chen Xiao could only say differently. Now he finally understood why, after obtaining the Supreme Divine Essence, his supernatural potential during the tests at the headquarters of the Soul of China was rated below F. Below F meant he was just an ordinary person, with no potential to become a supernatural being. It seemed everything was caused by that so-called Nine Heavens Mysterious Seal. Otherwise, the Supreme Divine Essence would have gradually transformed his bloodline as well. But what kind of seal was it, capable of even restraining the transformation brought about by the Supreme Divine Essence? Hearing Chen Xiao’s reply, Chen Jianzhou slowly nodded. “Ah, back then, I used the last piece of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Seal to seal your supernatural abilities, not wanting you to get involved in the world of supernatural beings and allowing you to be an ordinary child. I never expected you to still end up here.” “Grandpa, I…” “Since you’ve already become a supernatural being, there’s nothing left for me to hide from you,” Chen Jianzhou shook his head, interrupting Chen Xiao. “You must have noticed the injuries on my old body, right?” …
