Chapter 58 (1/2)

Under the orders of the Lord of the main branch of the Zhou family, Zhou Yin was the first to approach the huge stone carving in the wall. After doing so, that towering four to five meters tall stone carving’s hollowed-out eyes shot out two radiant beams of light.

Upon witnessing such a display, plenty of elders who were present in the huge palace were completely shocked. Some elders who were sitting on a jaded chair stood up and stared completely at Zhou Yin who was standing next to Zhou Yan at the moment.

“Yes indeed, truly a magnificent Qi Column with amazing natural gifts, twin Qi Columns each with two segments!”

That young lad with an aging gaze nodded delightfully, then proceeded to shift his gaze toward Zhou Yan. At the same time, Zhou Yan too was staring at the Lord of the main branch of the Zhou family

“I know about your matters, as long as you have value, to us, the main branch of the Zhou family would be willing to make any significant sacrifices!

“Show off your great potential Zhou Yan, as long as you’ve presented a spectacular display of power, your father’s problem would be significantly easier to take care of.”

A young lad spoke calmly, as there were hints of deliberate temptations in his words.

Zhou Yan’s Qi Column was completely covered with the purple lightning coil, as he had intended to keep his true potentials hidden from anyone.

Hence, whatever the Lord had spoken to him, was solely intended to test him.

With a slight twitch in his heart, without too drastic of a change in expression, Zhou Yan stared at the Lord of the main branch of the Zhou family and exclaimed, “My Lord, I shall do my best!”

“Very well, you may begin!”

Hence the young lord with an aging gaze silently nodded at Zhou Yan, as a gesture of courtesy.

Thus, Zhou Yan did exactly what Zhou Yin did moments earlier, he poured his detection skills into the stone carving, however, this time, the stone carving had seemingly trembled as both the hollowed-out eyes began to glow brightly!

Furthermore, through the hollowed-out eyes, two extremely blinding rays of light instantly shot out of both eyes. This blinding radiant light was ten times brighter than the light that had shot out from Zhou Yin’s test earlier!

“Excellent! Such pure energy from the Qi Columns!”

“Truly a perfect grade!”

“Amongst all the twin Qi Columns, this was indeed the best quality!’

“Such an astounding genius!’

…

Zhou Yan’s current display of power shocked every single person present!

It was also at this moment that stone carving had seemingly come in contact with something seemingly forbidden and in that instant, it completely crumbled into dust.

This was a high-tier assessment rock carving, and in that moment, it had actually crumbled into nothingness!

This was completely beyond their imagination! However, it was all due to that fact alone, the extent of how amazing Zhou Yan’s natural gift was, was completely beyond the realm of their imagination!

“Yes indeed Zhou Yan, your natural gifts, truly are spectacular. It is without a shred of doubt that your natural gifts were the best in the entirety of our family!”

The youthful Lord of the main branch of the Zhou family spoke with utmost confidence and certainty without hesitation.

“My lord, Zhou Ying was born with the Heavenly Spiritual Blade’s core, based on her natural gifts, she should be slightly better than Zhou Yan. Although, Zhou Yan’s Qi Column was better than Zhou Ying. However, Zhou Ying’s situation though…”

Elder Xing spoke hesitantly, however, he had sought out the truth from facts by the way he had spoken.

This time, Elder Xing had not sided with anyone, since it was him who had discovered it firsthand, hence, he was able to collect even more talented genius pupils.

Any elders in any family would never ignore this fact.

“I am aware of this fact, however, Zhou Yan’s innate enlightened ability was impeccable, and it was possible for this young lad to be in possession of an extinct Blade’s Core, the ‘Imperial Soul Blade’s Core’. That was due to the fact that this peculiar assessment rock was only capable of opposing the Imperial Soul Blade’s Core. Hence, both of these people, the natural gifts they possessed were impeccable!”

The youthful lord spoke in a comforting tone whilst smiling.

“Imperial Soul Blade’s Core?” *Long ago in a galaxy far far away*

Every single elder including Elder Xing had an immediate drastic reaction upon hearing such a revelation. Their entire expression changed drastically, as they glanced back at Zhou Yan once more, their gaze looked odd.

Zhou Yan, on the other hand, was slightly confused by exactly what this ‘Imperial Soul Blade’s Core’ they were talking about.

He knew that ‘Imperial Soul Blade’s Core’ had close ties to his soul, perhaps none was aware of the secret of his soul, and it was impossible for anyone to detect it…and what kind of Blade’s Core would this Imperial Soul Blade’s Core be?

Zhou Yan was puzzled and he had somewhat of an idea on his own. However, he was uncertain what kind of potential such a Blade’s Core would hold since, the Imperial Soul Blade’s Core might actually be fake.

However, at this very moment, the young lad had made no attempts to deny it.

“Zhou Yan, I need you to stay calm, I shall explain your father’s situation to you in a brief moment.”
