Translator: 549690339
The young master of the family was highly esteemed in the Great Zhou royal family – at the age of seventeen, he had already reached the Postnatal Sixth Realm, which greatly pleased his lordship.
Even the Heavenly Son praised their young master as the Zhou Family’s Qilin Child, publicly announcing before the court that if he could reach the Postnatal Sevenfold Realm before the age of twenty, he would personally bestow the title of Champion Marquis and grant the Emperor’s Sword upon him.
The Emperor’s Sword was a symbol of the esteemed General in charge of war on the battlefield, like General Zhou Bilian who was the first to receive it; the title of Champion Marquis reflected the Heavenly Son’s expectations of him.
Since the age of eight, Zhou Qianming’s martial arts cultivation had progressed rapidly, but he had been stuck in the Postnatal Sevenfold Realm for three years.
It is indeed difficult to break through the high-level martial arts.
At this time, Zhou Qianming couldn’t help but go towards where his joy lay, regardless of the guards beside him. Soon, he saw the object in front of him with his mouth wide open in amazement.
Laid out like a mountain, there were exquisitely carved wood sculptures, so lifelike they seemed to breathe.
He couldn’t help but pick up one of the wood carvings, his hand moving skillfully over its surface, unconsciously stepping into the role of the master carver. It seemed as if he could feel his own carving knife, cutting with perfect precision and ease.
He gradually became enthralled with his experience, and without realizing it, the internal energy within his body began to circulate around his Qi, causing fluctuations in his aura.
Though initially astonished, the guards immediately sensed the change in their young master’s Qi and raised their vigilance, standing guard around him with an unspoken understanding of their duty.
A moment of revelation!
In this instant, Zhou Qianming was immersed in the experience of carving, unaware of the tumultuous energy within his body; his mind focused only on the dancing dust beneath his knife.
Zhou Qianming stood motionless, not realizing that it had become sunset. It was as though he saw the carving knife in his hand suddenly stop, and at that precise moment, the torrent of energy inside him finally burst forth and flooded out, like a mighty river breaking through a dam.
The guards, feeling the change in Zhou Qianming’s aura, were overjoyed. Zhou Qianming himself couldn’t help but feel a sense of inexpressible delight, never having expected that the breakthrough he had been seeking would come so effortlessly.
Today surely was an omen of great fortune!
Zhou Qianming couldn’t contain his excitement, his eyes brimming with happiness as he looked at the countless wood carvings before him in the ruins of Jinshan Temple.
“Zhang Da, go down the mountain and tell County Leader Wu of Jinzhou City to bring people here. I want to take these wood carvings back to the capital. Go quickly!”
Seeing Zhou Qianming raise his voice after the guards hesitated out of concern for his safety, Zhang Da finally obeyed.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
In the County Government Office of Jinzhou City, Prefect Wu was feeling regret over the young master’s departure when the guards suddenly returned, causing him to worry if something had happened.
“Prefect Wu, the Son of the Crown Prince has a request…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll bring people there right away!”
As the sun set over the western mountains, Prefect Wu brought people to the ruins of Jinshan Temple. Seeing the wood carvings piled like a small mountain, he was somewhat puzzled.
“Prefect Wu, thank you for your trouble.”
Upon hearing this, Prefect Wu immediately put aside his doubts, “Be careful, everyone, if you damage any of these wood carvings, you’ll have to answer to me!”
With the County Government Office’s cooperation, the wood carvings were loaded up and sent down from the forest before daylight. However, Zhou Qianming didn’t leave immediately.
He wished to meet the person who made the wood carvings, although it was a luxury. Some carvings had already rotted, indicating that the creator was long gone.
Still, he waited for three more days before reluctantly departing. Upon leaving with the wood carvings for the capital, however, he was bursting with excitement.
Undoubtedly, His Majesty would be astounded by the miraculous wood carvings; he just didn’t know how many people, like himself, would have a moment of revelation.
Over the past few days, he had found that no one else seemed to have felt the same connection to the carvings, including his personal guards.
Could it be that only those with the Zhou Family Bloodline Ability could experience this?!
(The end… tying up the final loose ends of the secular world….)
