It was a stormy night with thunder and lightning striking down.
“AHHHHHHH” a loud voice was heard coming from a woman in a large castle.
The screaming lady had beautiful long black hair with a face that would light up any room and cause any man to lust for her.
Currently this woman was covered in sweat with a face that was covered in pain.
“My lord, letting her continue with this child birth will put her at risk; it is already a miracle that she was able to conceive and has reached this point, if this continues she and the baby may both die.”
Standing beside the women was a tall man who every fiber of his being radiated power and authority that would cause any mortal king to kneel.
“I have tried to teller her to give up on this child, but she insists on giving birth to it. This is why I brought you here, to make sure that she delivers safely. If she or the baby do not make it, beware that I will have you join them”
Hearing this, the white haired old man standing in front of the lady helping her deliver the baby started sweating profusely and felt a strong chill and feeling the jaws of death creep on to him.
With the warning from the tall man, the old man started to pull any medical knowledge and theory he had to work in order to save the women.
Five hours later, after much screaming; the lady finally gave birth to a beautifully baby boy.
Holding on to the baby boy the lady gave a beautifully smile that would have the radiance from the sun pale in comparison.
“I want you to live a long life, and stand eternal in this world, for this I shall name you Eons” whispered the lady to the baby in here mile.
While the lady played with the baby in her arms, the tall man brought over the old man to the side.
“You have my outmost thanks; you have really lived up to your title as the number one alchemist in this country” said the tall men with a smile on his face.”
“I do not deserve your praise my lord, this is a country that focuses on the martial Dao, not alchemy, if I was placed in the Alchemy country I would be lucky to place within the top 100. If it was the top alchemist from there, it is possible that this child birth would have gone so smoothly and there wouldn’t have been such a side effect.”
Hearing what the old man said, the smile on the tall man froze and a crease started appearing on his face.
“What side effects?”
“Unfortunately because of the extreme yin body that the madam possesses; conceiving a child and giving birth to it should have been an impossible feat. But because of the madams and my lords cultivation you were able to conceive and she gave birth. However, her vitality has been wounded, and no medicine that we possess is able to cure it. I believe only the holy medicine that the alchemy kingdom creates every 10,000 years is able to cure her”

Hearing the old men reference the alchemy kingdoms holy medicine, the tall man couldn’t help but frown. This medicine was the best known medicine in the world, and the materials for it were extremely rare. So rare in fact that the alchemy kingdom can only create it once every 10,000 years and even them the amount is so miniscule that it could only be used on about 150 people.
As one of the strongest empire in the world, the tall man’s country was able to acquire about 30% of the created medicine. Unfortunately it has already been over 8500 years since the last batch of holy medicine was made and the kingdom no longer possessed any medicine.
“How long does she have left?”
“It is hard to teller my lord, if I were to give a guess it be between 3-10 years.”
“3-10 years…..”
“Regrettably the side effects also extent to the child” the alchemist continued.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“The human body possesses 216 nodes in the body that allow us to cultivate. Of those 216, we are only able to use 54 with our current cultivate knowledge. This child has a total of 111 damaged nodes. All 54 of the nodes we can use are included in this.”
Hearing the alchemist, the eyes of the tall man dimmed.
“Cripple, my son was born a cripple…….” The tall man couldn’t help but whisper to himself.
“Can any of the nodes be fixed?” Asked the woman lying in the bed.
Although the alchemist and the tall man were far way, the lady lying on the bed had exceptional hearing and she was able to hear everything they said.
“His nodes are heavily damaged, with my abilities I will only be able to cure 3, and the rest will cost a fortune to fix……”
Hearing what the alchemist said the lady could not help but look at the child in her arms with a sad look.
The moment she looked down at the child, the child opened his eyes and the lady saw his beatify black eyes that seem to shine like the starry sky.
Seeing his beautiful eyes the lady’s emotions settled down a bit.
“yes you are alive that is all that matters to me” she whispered to the baby.
Looking at the alchemist she commanded the alchemist “Fix the 3 nodes that you could fix”
Hearing the lady the alchemist couldn’t help but jolt.
“My lady, I do not understand, why are you going to fix the 3 nodes, those 3 nodes are not even part of the 54 we use to cultivate, even if I fix those 3 nodes, he will still be a crip……”
Before he was able to finish his sentence the alchemist was overcome with a heavy pressure and killing intent the likes of he had never seen.
“Finish those words, and I can guarantee that you will not live another second.” The lady slowly said to the alchemist with power behind each word that slowly added more and more pressure to him, until he was finally kneeling down on the floor.
Looking at the lady in the bed with the baby in her hands, the alchemist couldn’t help but shiver. Her life vitality may have been injured due to the child birth, but how could he forget that this lady on the bed holds the title of being the strongest and most ruthless person in her generation; a person who at the young age of 30 was able to break into the soul realm; setting the record as the youngest person in the last 500,000 years to break into this realm.
“If I ask you to fix his nodes, I expect you to fix his nodes without questioning my intent”
Hearing what the lady said and being subjected to more pressure under her glare the alchemist couldn’t help but kowtow to her and stutter a reply
“I-I-I understand my l-l-l-l-lady I’ll i-immediately fix his n-n-n-n-nodes…”
Looking at the scene in front of him, the tall man couldn’t help but think to himself your vitality has been injured and our child was born a cripple, is this what you wanted Nicky.
In this country where strength reign supreme, being born without the ability to cultivate into the royal family was essentially the same as being crippled.
Yes, young Eons was borne cripple, but although he was born a cripple, he was also born with something that no one else possesses. He was born with innate wisdom, and of the people in the room, no one knew this, only the lady that had him in his arm had an intuition that was telling her that her son will overcome his damage nodes and become someone that will reign supreme in this world.
