The entire Zhendong Mansion was incredibly large. The small lake they were in was actually only a corner of the palace, not very conspicuous. Therefore, many people did not notice that they had already lived here.

A few days later, Li Qing refined a spirit medicine called the Beichen Pill to help Su Yunxiao repair the tendons of his hands and feet.

“Thank you, Master Li Qing, for your kindness!” Su Yunxiao said gratefully.

“There’s no need to be too polite. This is just what I should do.”

The Marquis of Golden Lion said, “Yun Xiao’s body is a little weak now. I wonder if I can refine some medicinal pills to strengthen his foundation and lay a solid foundation for him. I will definitely repay him well.”

“Of course. I have a Nine Crooked Spirit Ginseng that can refine Nine Crooked Spirit Pills. It should be very useful to Yunxiao.”

“Nine Crooked Spirit Ginseng!” The Golden Lion Marquis was moved, “Why did you casually take out such a precious treasure?”

“Actually, this item isn’t very useful to me. I might as well give it to Yun Xiao as well.” Li Qing smiled.

The Marquis of Golden Lion hastily said, “Then I can’t let you exert your strength in vain. How about this? I see that you used a very powerful fist technique before. I believe that you must have a high attainment in fist arts.”

Li Qing nodded, “That’s right, I have something to do with knives, palms, fists, and so on.”

“Within my Zhendong Mansion, there is a stone tablet with an earth-shattering fist technique carved on it. I’m sure you’ll be interested.”

“What fist technique?”

“Imperial Extreme Peerless Fist!”

“What? Isn’t this the ultimate technique that Emperor Hong Wu possessed? Why did it appear in Zhendong Mansion?” Li Qing was shocked.

“Because of my father’s outstanding achievements in battle, Emperor Hong Wu gave this stone stele to observe and learn from.”

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Emperor’s Extreme Peerless Fist leak out? Will Emperor Zhou blame him?” Li Qing said.

“Haha, you think too much. There is only one fist mark on this stone stele. There are no words, and it contains supreme fist intent. It is almost impossible to comprehend a complete Emperor’s Extreme Peerless Fist from it. Of course, if you have the chance to observe this fist mark, you will definitely benefit a lot.”

“That’s why!” Only then did Li Qing understand.

“There are twenty-eight such stone tablets in the Great Zhou Empire. They are all meritorious officials bestowed upon the Great Zhou Dynasty by Emperor Hong Wu. Therefore, they are collectively called the Twenty-Eight Meritorious Officials Tablets.”

“Then wouldn’t it be inappropriate for an outsider like me to observe the Merit Tombstone?” Li Qing asked.

‘”It’s fine. I’ve already obtained His Majesty’s consent. Anyone who can observe the mysteries of the Tablet of Meritorious Officials can personally go to the Imperial Capital to receive a reward. If they perform well, they might even be accepted as His Majesty’s personal disciples!”

“Emperor Zhou’s personal disciple!” Li Qing sucked in a breath of cold air. “Has anyone ever done it in the world?”

“Yes! His name is Wei Longcheng, and he comprehended a portion of the world-shaking fist intent. Thirty years ago, he was accepted as a disciple by Majesty and was named Marquis of Ping Tian.”

“Really amazing.” Li Qing praised.

‘”This Wei Longcheng is indeed an extraordinary figure. He has already broken through to become a Void Realm expert. Back then, he was similar to you. When he was at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm, he was able to fight against a Void Realm expert. He even defeated a Void Realm expert at the second level. His combat strength was extremely terrifying.”

“As expected of a direct disciple of the Zhou Emperor. It’s normal for him to behave like this.”

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to see the Merit Tombstone now. With your outstanding talent, you will definitely gain something. Perhaps you can even comprehend some of the mysteries. That would be a major event that will shock the world.”

Marquis Golden Lion took Li Qing to the depths of the palace and arrived before a huge stone mountain.

“The origins of this stone mountain cannot be underestimated.” Marquis Golden Lion said proudly.

“Oh? What’s your background?”

Marquis Golden Lion introduced, “You also know that there are three great powers on our side. Among them, Daqian Dynasty was beaten to the point where only one Tian Yuan City remains, and the remaining Great Qin Dynasty is our true enemy.”

“There have been countless battles between Great Qin and Great Zhou. There have been victories and losses. In general, we are still better than them.”

“Once, my father led his army into the hinterland of the Great Qin Empire, all the way to the Profound Continent and the famous Profound Heaven Mountain!”

“Mysterious Heaven Mountain?” Li Qing was a little surprised, “Didn’t you say that the Profound Heaven Mountain had already been destroyed?”

Xuantian Mountain was the number one divine mountain in the Middle Ages. However, it had experienced many battles. Right now, there was only ruins left, no longer the glory of the Middle Ages.

Among them, the most famous one was the Battle of the Profound Heavens during the Xia Emperor Era, when Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor forcefully cut off a mountain peak from the top of the Profound Heavens Mountain with unparalleled might, breaking through the general trend of the Divine Mountain.

The Divine Mountain was damaged, and after countless battles, it became more and more damaged, leaving only the current appearance.

‘”That’s right, Xuantian Mountain has indeed been destroyed. Only one mountain foundation remains. My father arrived at the Xuantian Mountain Ruins that year and learned from Heaven Splitting Demon Emperor’s heroic deeds. He forcefully cut off a huge boulder and moved it back to Zhendong Mansion. This is the one in front of him.”

“Rumor has it that Xuantian Mountain possesses unparalleled divine power, and its main mountain is almost impossible to destroy. To be able to cut off this boulder from King Zhendong is truly unparalleled divine power.” Li Qing praised.

If it was just ordinary mountain stones, with a martial artist’s tyrannical strength, it wouldn’t be a big problem to move as many as he wanted.

However, Xuantian Mountain was extraordinary. Wanting to destroy such a divine mountain was practically fighting against the heavens and earth. It was practically impossible for humans to do so.

Even if there was only one mountain base left in Xuantian Mountain, it was not something ordinary people could profane.

“Let’s go inside.”

Within this stone mountain, there was a grotto with bright lights and exquisite designs carved on the walls. It was extremely exquisite.

“Greetings, Crown Prince!” The two guards bowed to the Golden Lion Marquis. They were at the tenth level of the Xiantian realm.

The Marquis of Golden Lion nodded slightly to them and walked straight inside with Li Qing. Not long after, he encountered an old man sitting in a stone room. He was actually a Void Realm expert!

Around this stone room, there were a total of eight doors, all of which were closed at this moment.

“Elder Liu, I want to bring people inside to observe the Merit Tombstone.” Marquis Golden Lion said.

“Is this person trustworthy?” Liu old man said without raising his head.

“Trustworthy, he’s my good friend!”

“Forget it. It’s up to you now, Zhendong Mansion. Bring whoever you want. I can’t stop you.” Liu old man casually patted a stone pillar beside him, and then one of the stone doors opened.

“Let’s go in.” Marquis Golden Lion brought Li Qing inside.

After walking through a long corridor, it didn’t take long for it to reach the end. It was a stone stele that was thirty feet tall. There were no words or patterns on the stone stele, only a small fist imprint.

Seeing this fist mark, Li Qing only felt as if an invincible power was coming from the distant depths of the void, causing his soul to tremble and his scalp to numb.
