Chapter 2 Genesis Runes (1/2)

The inner hall was silent, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.

Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Qing who was seated beside him, the latter's normally imposing and imposing face was now filled with helplessness and dejection. Evidently, the matter back then had dealt a huge blow to him.

His own biological son had his fortune seized and his very bones broken by his enemy in front of him, yet he himself was powerless. It could be imagined how much of a humiliation that would be to any father.

Zhou Yuan bit his lips. He was clear about Zhou Qing's personality, if it wasn't for him protecting the hundred million citizens of the Great Zhou at that time, he really would have chosen to burn together with King Wu.

”So this is the reason why my eight meridians were never revealed and why it is difficult to cultivate. This King Wu is truly a vicious method.” Zhou Yuan looked at the ball of dark red color that was slowly wiggling in his palm, a look of anger in his eyes.

This King Wu had stolen his fortune and destroyed his holy dragon. He was still not giving up. It was clear that he was still planning to cut off the roots and force the Dragon's Venom to the point where he could die little by little.

Moreover, what angered Zhou Yuan the most was that his mother's vitality was severely damaged because of this, and her lifespan did not even reach ten years.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, he suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at Qin Yu who was unconscious by the side. Her face was pale, and his heart felt as though it was being slashed by a knife, he asked: ”Royal Father, then what about mother? ”Her lifespan …”

Zhou Qing was silent for a moment, before he slowly said, ”In this world, there are heavenly materials that increase one's lifespan. If you can obtain them, it would be able to extend your mother's lifespan, but …”

After saying that, Zhou Qing laughed bitterly: ”That kind of heavenly resource is extremely rare. I have searched through the entire Great Zhou for it, but to no avail.”

”Our Great Zhou is not as strong as we were back then. Now that we're in such a corner, we can only barely protect ourselves.”

Zhou Yuan clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, he finally understood the benefits of possessing power. If he could obtain power, then no matter how dangerous the desperate situation was, he would be able to investigate and find those heavenly resources that could extend his lifespan.

However, the eight meridians within his body that had remained inconspicuous for a long time left him without even the power to protect himself.

Zhou Yuan clenched his teeth, and said with a low voice. ”Royal Father, am I really unable to become a Origin Master?”

His mother had lost her blood essence and lost her life for him. As the son of a human, how could she sit idly by? Furthermore … If the Wu Family did not know about what he had done to their Great Zhou s and to him, then it would be fine. But now that he did, this debt could not be easily resolved.

However, all of this had to be built on the fact that he possessed sufficient strength.

And the group of people who controlled the strongest power in this world was naturally the Origin Master!

Hearing Zhou Yuan's words, Zhou Qing's brows tightly knitted, as if he was muttering to himself. After a long while, he softly asked. ”You're really not willing to give up?”

Zhou Yuan shook his head lightly. Although the hardships he had suffered all these years had caused him to suffer, it had also given him a maturity and tenacity that had surpassed his age.

He knew that when the Wu Family rebelled and stole his fortune, the two sides would already be at death's door.

The reason that the Great Zhou was still alive was entirely because of the oath made by the King Wu all those years ago. It could be imagined that once a hundred years had passed, the Wu Dynasty would be the first to massacre the Great Zhou in order to eliminate any future troubles.

Therefore, if he wanted to change this outcome, he had to possess sufficient strength.

Zhou Qing was also somewhat gratified at the firmness that Zhou Yuan had displayed. After a moment of silence, his large hand slapped heavily onto Zhou Yuan's shoulder and he said: ”Alright! unwilling to give up so easily, you truly are my, Zhou Qing's, son! Since you have such a wish, then Royal Father will naturally help you with everything he has! ”

”Royal Father has a way?” Hearing Zhou Qing's words, Zhou Yuan's eyes immediately lit up, and said in pleasant surprise.

Zhou Qing slightly nodded, then bitterly laughed and said: ”Don't be happy too early, because even I am not able to confirm whether this method is effective or not.”

”What method?” Zhou Yuan's impatient look finally had the vigor of a young man.

”Three days from now will be the ancestor ceremony. This time, come with me to the ancestral land.”

Zhou Qing did not elaborate, but only laughed, and then his voice paused, and continued: ”But I also have a condition.”

”What condition?” Zhou Yuan was startled, and asked doubtfully.

Zhou Qing said seriously: ”No matter if you can open your meridians or not at that time, you must not give up on learning the way of Origin Mark, you must know, if you still do not open your eight meridians, training the Origin Mark, will be your last path, and cultivating to the depths of Origin Mark, might not be impossible to suppress the Dragon's Venom in your body.”

In this world, the Origin Master was the mainstream, but it was not the only one. Instead, all hundred flowers bloomed together, opening up many paths.

In this period of time, when his eight meridians were not revealed, Zhou Yuan was practicing the Origin Mark s under Zhou Qing's guidance. After all, many Origin Master s would roughly learn a few Origin Mark s if they had more techniques.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan lightly nodded his head. He understood the meaning behind Zhou Qing's words, it was that he was worried that if he still did not reveal his eight meridians, he would give up on himself and give up the last path after failing to become a Origin Master.

Zhou Qing nodded his head, his face revealing a pleased smile.

”You rest for a day first. Tomorrow, you will continue to go to Great Zhou Mansion to study. Three days later, I will bring you to the ancestral land.”

”Alright!” The youth's voice was filled with anticipation.

Zhou Qing smiled as he rubbed Zhou Yuan's head. Then, he carried the unconscious Qin Yu and walked out of the inner palace with Master Qin.

Zhou Yuan looked at Zhou Qing's back, the normally majestic back view, was now filled with a heart wrenching sense of powerlessness and dejection. He knew that the Royal Father of the past should be full of ambition, but was slowly being worn out by the cruel reality.

And the cause of all this, was the King Wu.

Zhou Yuan pursed her lips, a cold look appearing on her somewhat weak and tender face.

”Wu Family, King Wu... In the future, we will calculate this debt once again! ”
