Full-time Creation Master

The palace is surrounded by huge white jade pillars, each soaring into the clouds and requiring several people to encircle its diameter.

The stone pillars are carved with lifelike totem animal patterns, including the Azure Bird, the Candle Dragon, the Bifang, the Xiezhi, the Baxia, and the Xiangliu...

Some totem beasts soar through the clouds, their figures agile, as if they are about to soar into the sky at any moment; others bar their fangs and claws, their imposing manner as if they are guarding this mysterious territory.

These totem beast carvings are exquisitely crafted, with details such as fur, scales, and eyes depicted with remarkable realism, leaving one in awe of the artisans' superb skills, as if these totem beasts could come to life at any moment.

This palace is the Qin family's observation palace, and it is also the only palace that ordinary members of the Qin family can visit!

Important family decisions are discussed and made here, and the assessment and supervision of family members are also carried out in an orderly manner here.

The rise and fall of the family, its future direction, and many other key matters are closely linked to this palace.

Passing through the observation palace, a wide and flat bluestone avenue stretches forward.

The avenue is paved with carefully polished bluestones. The stone surfaces are as smooth as mirrors, yet they have unique textures, as if recording the footsteps of the Qin family members who have walked this path countless times.

Neatly arranged ancestral halls line both sides of the road, and the road's end, which is also the main attraction, is the Imperial Ancestral Temple!

The Imperial Ancestral Temple is solemn and majestic, with its red walls and black tiles complementing each other, and its flying eaves and brackets standing tall. It exudes a profound and weighty historical atmosphere.

In front of each ancestral hall stands a tall stone tablet, made of hard stone, which has stood firm despite the erosion of wind and rain.

The stone tablet is inscribed with the achievements of the Qin family's ancestors throughout the ages, and the characters are vigorous and powerful.

Further ahead, you will see two flags flying high, each embroidered with a black bird and a black dragon!

The Celestial Black Bird!

The black bird is graceful and light, its wings spread as if it is about to take flight!

The Great Qin Black (Azure) Dragon!

The black dragon, on the other hand, was enormous and imposing.

The two complement each other, and the flags flutter in the wind, making a "whooshing" sound.

Continuing along the main road and looking out from a high vantage point, Chu Ming was surprised to find that on the tens of thousands of square meters of land outside the palace in the secret realm, there were actually other buildings, people, and crisscrossing fields!

It turned out to be a rural scene like a paradise.

The crisscrossing paths neatly divide the farmland into sections.

Occasionally, villagers would stroll leisurely along the country lanes, carrying their farm tools, their faces beaming with simple, honest smiles.

The sounds of chickens and dogs could be heard from one another, with the crowing of roosters rising and falling, and the occasional barking of dogs chasing the sun adding a touch of life and vitality to this peaceful village.

On the edge of the village lies a wide training ground where many members of the Qin family are diligently practicing.

Some tribesmen brandished sharp weapons, their swords flashing and their moves fierce and powerful;

Some unleash dazzling spells, their spiritual energy radiating, flames blazing, frost chilling the air, or lightning slicing through the sky.

Shouts and fluctuations of spiritual energy intertwined.

Some dragon-like creatures, bird-like demons? Beast tamers? They were also training or playing around in the same square!

There are also some cavalry units that resemble militias, currently undergoing intensive training. The riders are all demons at least at the warrior general level, and their weapons are actually demonic weapons!

"The main inhabitants of my Qin family's secret territory are elderly members of my Qin family, surnamed Ying, Zhao, Meng, Li, and so on!"

They are the last line of defense protecting the secret realm!

Most young people are out there, seeking curiosity and experience!

"Young friend Chu, this way please."

The Grand Elder interrupted Chu Ming's observation; his voice was gentle and kind.

The Grand Elder led Chu Ming toward a rather magnificent building on the main road.

The building is magnificent and solemn in appearance, complementing its surroundings perfectly.

This is the residence of the Qin family's Supreme Elders. It is not only their daily living quarters, but also the place where the family's core secrets are discussed, carrying the family's profound heritage and wisdom.

Upon entering the hall, six elderly people with white hair but vigorous spirits were already waiting.

They are the Supreme Elders Qin Cangsong, Qin Canghai, Qin Tianhe, Qin Dihu, Qin Xuanfeng, and Qin Suyue.

Different branches of the Qin family have different surnames, but they all refer to themselves as Qin to the outside world!

Qin Cangsong was slender, with a profound wisdom in his eyes, as if he could see through everything in the world;

Qin Canghai is tall and strong with a resolute face, giving people a sense of calm and reliability.

Qin Tianhe possessed a refined and scholarly demeanor, exuding the air of a literary figure.

Qin Tianhu's eyes were like torches, and his whole body exuded a sharp aura;

Qin Xuanfeng moved with such grace that it seemed as if a gust of wind could lift him up.

Qin Suyue had white hair, a kind face, and eyes full of gentleness and care.

However, the almost non-existent aura emanating from these individuals is evidence of their strength!

The words "Forbidden Spell" on the data panel are the best proof!

"Greetings, esteemed elders!"

Chu Ming bowed slightly to show his respect; his movements were proper and refined, demonstrating his good upbringing.

"Young friend Chu, it is truly an honor for the Qin family to meet you today."

Qin Cangsong spoke first. Although his voice was old, it was full of energy, and every word seemed to contain endless power.

"Elders, you are too kind. I am not worthy of such high regard from the Qin family."

Chu Ming responded humbly, his tone sincere and respectful, but without any flattery or concession due to his own strength.

As expected, this earned unanimous praise from the six Supreme Elders of the Qin family!

After exchanging pleasantries, Chu Ming took the initiative to speak, saying, "I have a favor to ask of you all: I hope we can pay our respects at the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, established a unified empire, and standardized the written language. His great achievements are truly admirable!

The six elders exchanged glances, nodded slightly, their eyes full of approval.

Qin Wujiang explained from the side, "Brother Chu, this ancestral temple is where my Qin family worships our ancestors. It is truly rare to see such respect from you."

Such perfect understanding is truly rare!

So, accompanied by the crowd, Chu Ming arrived at the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

The most magnificent square in front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple is spacious and clean, with the ground paved with smooth stone slabs.

Chu Ming's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with awe and reverence.

Following the guidance of the Qin family's eldest elder and in accordance with the Qin family's etiquette, he first washed his hands and face to show respect for his ancestors.

Then, he carefully offered the incense he had prepared!

The offerings, which had been prepared in advance, were abundant and varied, including fresh fruits, fine wines, and precious spices.

Then, he lit incense and candles, and wisps of smoke rose into the air.

Chu Ming clasped his hands together, slowly knelt down, and kowtowed.

During the worship ceremony, Chu Ming silently prayed, hoping to receive the blessings of the Qin family ancestors.

At the same time, he secretly vowed that if he had the chance, he would definitely lead the Qin family to complete the tracing of origins that the First Emperor had not been able to complete!

Standardize the written language and the gauge of carts!
