It’s said that the waters run deep in the Imperial City.

Indeed, they are very deep.

Previously, when the Fourth Prince suddenly emerged and simultaneously suppressed the arrogant Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince, Qin Tian already felt that his worldview was refreshed.

Now, there appears a Fourteenth Prince even more mysterious than the Fourth Prince?

Recalling those mysterious black-clothed men seen at the Fourteenth Prince’s secluded courtyard, Qin Tian could basically confirm that the Fourteenth Prince was hiding something!

Deception at its finest!

Not only did he escape Qin Tian’s eyes, but also those of powerful figures like the Fourth Prince and the Ice Emperor!

These people have spent years, if not over a decade, living closely with the Fourteenth Prince, and yet, they could still be deceived?

Qin Tian smiled wryly and shook his head, saying, ”Amazing, truly amazing. As the most powerful city in the Spiritual Domain, the Imperial City attracts all types of forces. Now I understand.”

”Old Three, do you have any evidence regarding the Fourteenth Prince’s tendencies, like whether he’s opposing the Fourth Prince? Is he a friend or foe to us?” Qin Tian asked Xiao Zhuang.

Xiao Zhuang shook his head, ”No idea, no concrete evidence, we don’t know. With us, there’s been no interaction currently. As for the Fourth Prince, didn’t the Ice Emperor use him last year to take charge of some departments, opposing the Fourth Prince, but in the end, the matter ended with the Ice Emperor compromising and reappointing the Fourth Prince. The Fourteenth Prince, resigned from the majority of his posts.”

”And then?”

”There’s no ’then’.”

”The Fourteenth Prince didn’t take any retaliatory action against the Fourth Prince? And the Fourth Prince didn’t target the Fourteenth Prince?”

”Neither. From what I know, the Fourteenth Prince seems to be indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn’t care about these things. The Fourth Prince, too, only had people keep a close eye on the Fourteenth Prince, it seems he doesn’t have the extra energy to deal with this sibling, or maybe the Fourth Prince feels the Fourteenth Prince no longer poses much threat to him.”

”Whew!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian let out a long breath and shook his head, ”You just keep following up on the Fourteenth Prince. Since his stance isn’t clear, we shouldn’t provoke him either. I anticipate that, at the very least, he won’t be my enemy. He’s aided me multiple times, if he had taken me as a foe long ago, he wouldn’t have helped me repeatedly.”

”Alright, Boss, do you plan to visit the front lines?”

”Not for now,” Qin Tian replied, ”I need to close-door train in the Imperial City for a bit. I want to cultivate a top-level cultivation technique. Once successful, the Qin Army’s chances of victory will increase by at least twenty percent.”

”Twenty percent!?”

Xiao Zhuang looked at Qin Tian in disbelief, ”Such a powerful cultivation technique here?”

”Yes, it’s called the ’Empowerment Divine Skill’. Once I reach the introductory level, I can transmit some of my cultivation onto you all, which can help you quickly improve cultivation, and may even alter your cultivation immortality talent.”

”Wow~”

Xiao Zhuang’s eyes widened, and he smiled as if drooling, ”Alright, Boss, you train slowly, I’ll be waiting for you to master the Empowerment Divine Skill. I’ve been stuck at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage for a long time, it feels so difficult to break through to the Longevity Realm... given my cultivation immortality talent, it feels like I’ve hit the ceiling, heh heh. If this Empowerment Divine Skill of yours can help me defy fate and enhance my cultivation immortality talent, that would be awesome!”

Xiao Zhuang was increasingly itching to go, ”Not just me, Old Zhou and the others, all of us will benefit~”

Qin Tian wrote a letter and had Xiao Zhuang secretly send it to Panlong Island.

He believed Long Tianwu wouldn’t miss the opportunity to seize the East State.

So, Qin Tian felt at ease to begin his closed-door cultivation.

Currently, Qin Tian had three Martial Arts secret manuals: Empowerment Divine Skill, Seven-star Eight Diagram Array, and the Flying Immortal Art.

Any one of them could stir up a storm in the Immortal Domain.

Ordinary immortality cultivators might not be interested in the Empowerment Divine Skill, but for those in a dynasty requiring large numbers of experts for military campaigns, it’s a guarantee of victory.

Qin Tian didn’t know if this cultivation technique had been discovered by anyone, nor did he know how that Immortal King crafted such a technique.

But he decided that among these three techniques, the first he must cultivate was the Empowerment Divine Skill.

Simultaneous cultivation of all three secret manuals was naturally unrealistic, so Qin Tian planned to begin with what was most urgently needed.

In previous cultivation, the focus was always on absorption - absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, elixirs, others’ true qi and primordial energy for my own use.

But now, the cultivation path for this Empowerment Divine Skill is completely different from what Qin Tian previously practiced.

”Six meridians through, true spirit release, follow where the hand directs, follow where the heart moves... unity of heart and man, qi injection divine power!”

In the secret chamber, Qin Tian sat cross-legged, quietly reciting the mnemonic, opening his Eight Extraordinary Meridians, establishing a true spirit transmission channel between the Dan Tian Qi Sea and his palms.

This was a difficult process of self-transformation. Qin Tian spent five consecutive days in seclusion before finally connecting the meridians of his dantian with his palms.

Subsequently, the continuous transmission of true qi and primordial energy made him gradually familiar with the routine of the Empowerment Divine Skill.

Half a month later, Qin Tian emerged from seclusion.

”I feel like I’ve reached the introductory level, but I haven’t tested it yet, so I don’t know if it works.”

”The book says that unsuccessful attempts might lead to the recipient’s meridians being thrown into disarray, potentially causing deviation. So I can’t try it on people... test it on a spiritual beast?”

Qin Tian thought about using a spiritual beast as a test subject.

However, after trying he discovered that the meridian structure of spiritual beasts was entirely different from humans, it was completely impracticable.

The spiritual beasts that Qin Tian tried the empowerment on didn’t last a day before dying.

Spiritual beasts won’t work, it must be a human.

”Boss, you can try it on death row prisoners.”

Xiao Zhuang thought of a solution for Qin Tian, who immediately had him bring in a death row prisoner.

In the room, the death row inmate stood in front of Qin Tian as Qin Tian’s right hand hovered above the inmate’s head.

Silvery true qi slowly passed through Qin Tian’s palm into the inmate’s body.

”Hmm?”

As time passed, the death row inmate seemed to sense changes in their body, their eyes lit up.

”I, I advanced?!”

The prisoner was originally at the Primordial Pill stage, and after Qin Tian’s empowerment, he instantly reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!

The prisoner was dumbfounded!

Xiao Zhuang was also dumbfounded!

Qin Tian let out a knowing smile, withdrew his hand, saying, ”It seems effective, although there’s a cost, thankfully, it’s just the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, so the cost to me is almost negligible.”

”Hehe, Boss, I’m at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, want to try empowering me?”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang was already impatient, eager to act.

”I’ll try to see if I can empower you to reach the Small Immortal Realm.” That was Qin Tian’s goal.

”Oh my, Boss, you can directly elevate me two levels? That’s too outrageous! Isn’t that impossible!?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhuang was instantly dumbfounded.
