Inspecting

Zhang Lijun also noticed another changed of his son, "Little Tianzhu… your appearance also changed?" Tianzhu's father couldn't help but had the urge to kiss his son, his little Tianzhu was just too cute.

"Father I'm very impressive right?" Tianzhu pretended to act like an innocent three-year-old child, he also pretended to make an excited face and blinked his eyes toward his father as if he was waiting for a compliment.

"…Yeah…" His father couldn't help but became speechless, why would his little Tianzhu continued to pour and rub the salt on his wound even more, even so he still replied to his son weakly.

"Father, let's go outside."

"Alright."

Then Zhang Lijun gestured and held his son hand and walked out of the room together.

"Young lord, young master…" all the servants would greet the father and son duo wherever they walked passed, all the female servants couldn't help but had the stars in their eyes when they saw Tianzhu, it was as if he was a doll, 'Ahhh, too cute' if it wasn't the fact that they were servants, they would go ahead and hug the little young master long ago.

…

"Yue'er!" Zhang Lijun called his wife.

"Hmm? What is it hus-… wait… i-i-is that out little Tianzhu?" shocked Yingyue "How…how did he become so cute?" "Come here Tianzhu, let mother hug you…ahhh so cute."

'Urgh, I think I'm regretting now, I shouldn't have cultivated at all, given that even mother became like this, then my over protective big brothers and sisters would become even more aggressive for sure.' Tianzhu thought while smiling and laughing bitterly at his mother, now he started thinking that reborn to this world is bad choice after all.

"Ehh? Husband…w-w-what happened to our little Tianzhu exactly? H-h-his cultivation…!!" Tianzhu's mother finally noticed his change.

"Haha, our son is a monster genius, he cultivated for only one hour or so and he could reach the peak stage Body Refinement Realm, moreover without guidance." Zhang Lijun said to his wife excitedly as he looked toward his son, who wouldn't be happy if their son is a genius, moreover their son is not your-everyday seen genius, not even in the billion years could this kind of genius emerge.

"Wow, my little Tianzhu is so awesome, mommy is so proud of you." Yingyue praised Tianzhu while also rubbing her cheek against the little Tianzhu's cheek.

"But Yue'er, I think this matter should not be taken lightly, we should inform father too." Zhang Lijun said to his wife seriously.

"Right, I think so as well."

…

Knock knock…

"Father it's me." Zhang Lijun said.

"Oh, it's Jun'er, come on in." Zhang Shensu replied.

"What's the matter Jun'er?"

"Father, this matter is very important." Zhang Lijun gave his father a solemn look.

"I understand." Zhang Shensu thus waved his hand to seal the room with Soundproof formation. "You can talk now."

"It's the matter regarding little Tianzhu, about his Elemental Core basically I suppose."

"Hmm, explain."

"I think Tianzhu's Elemental Core is of the legendary of the legendary one, the Divine Elemental Core. Because Tianzhu had already reached the peak stage Body Refinement Realm, by solely himself. What's more, I can sense the higher rank Qi around him too."

"W-what? A-a-re you sure about this? Divine Elemental Core? Our little Tianzhu is a Divine Elemental Child?" Zhang Shensu right now was so shocked, he couldn't believe what he heard, if the one who told him was outsider he wouldn't believe him at all.

"Father, I'm not completely sure but I can call Tianzhu to come here and I think we could test his Elemental Core already. Then we'll find out if it's real or not, even if not I'm sure that little Tianzhu would still reach a formidable realm in the future."

"Right, call him to come here now, hurry." Zhang Shensu was filled with anticipation, he wanted to find out what is his little grandson's Elemental Core eagerly, then he deactivated the Soundproof Formation temporary.

"Steward Du, go call little Tianzhu to come over here." Zhang Lijun spoke from inside the room.

"Yes, young lord." The Steward waiting outside immediately obey the order and hurried to call Tianzhu.

A few minutes later, the door opened and Tianzhu walked in with a calm face and a noble manner, like that of a sly old fox, because he could already guess what his father and grandfather wanted to talk about, no one could guess though, they only saw a cute doll was walking over.

"Grandpa, father, what is the matter?" Tianzhu pretended to be innocent once again.

Grandpa Zhang didn't reply but he stared toward Tianzhu while his eyes lit up with excitement and shock. His little Tianzhu did indeed reached the peak stage Body Refinement Realm. And then grandpa Zhang just waved his hand then all three of them instantly disappeared from the Patriarch Resident and they appeared inside the Elemental Core Testing Hall, there seemed to be no one could freely go in and out of this hall, only the patriarch himself could freely enter and the people who got permitted to enter from him.

Then grandpa Zhang walked toward a room and there was a big silver stone in there that emitted an ancient aura, the ancient stone's length was 0.9 shi zhang and the width was 0.3 shi zhang ( A/N: 1 meter = 0.3 shi zhang, 1 shi zhang = 3.3333 meters ), on the stone there were totally five words, from lowest to the highest, starting from [一]One,[二]Two,[三]Three,[四]Four,and before it arrived the last word there was a golden horizontal line up ahead that clearly prevented the four words from staying in the same place with the last word like it was an emperor and a commoner and that last word was[神圣]Divine.

Every time one got their Elemental Core inspected, the stone would light up in silver color. If one has one element and the first layer "One" would light up and it will also tell what element it is by forming the word of that element itself, the other three layers are the same as well, however, no one knows about the last layer, but maybe the patriarch might know about this.

That ancient stone was the Elemental Core Inspecting Stone, and the one in the Zhang clan was of the highest rank Stone that the Zhang clan got it since the ancient era, the other big clan also had this Elemental Core Inspecting Stone but only the artificial version and it would work only when they supplied it with the Elemental Energy Ore, as for the one in the Zhang clan would absorb the heaven and earth Qi and supplied itself instead.

The main different between the artificial version and the very main one was, the last word [神圣]Divine, blended itself into the Stone so no one would notice this last word, this is for the artificial version. While the one in the Zhang clan didn't have the last word blended into the stone but it emerged out of the Stone instead, as a result, not many people knew about the existence of the fifth level, but the people of Zhang clan all knew about this.

Ever since the first generation of the Zhang clan, whenever they opened the inspecting ceremony, they would always hope that a descendant of them would have the Divine Elemental Core but to no vail, even back in the trillions of years, only two Divine Elemental Childs had emerged, so it was only their useless dream all along.

However, now, no one could understand the joy of the patriarch was having, this was yet to inspect to Elemental Core.

"Tianzhu, come here, place both of your hands on the stone." Grandpa Zhang instructed Tianzhu.

"Yes grandpa." Then Tianzhu walked forward and stood in front of the big stone and placed his hands on it as his grandpa instructed.

Suddenly, the heaven and earth Qi inside the whole Zhang clan vanished as if something had devoured it invisibly and instantly, made all the Zhang clan's members stupefied.

While inside the hall where Tianzhu was, the ancient Elemental Core Inspecting Stone suddenly lit up its light in pure golden as if it was a god itself. A few seconds later, the four words of the four layers including the golden horizontal line instantly vanished into the stone while the Divine layer could be seen descended into the middle on the surface of the stone and the word "Divine" could be seen lit up in even more golden color, it started to lit up even more until it became the brightest golden that made one's eyes blind.

Whoosh…

The golden light of the Elemental Core Inspecting Stone sudden shot up onto the heaven.

The sky suddenly became clear, it changed the color into the golden color mysteriously and a golden light could be seen shine above the entire Divine Elements Empire as if the heaven was blessing this empire itself, and strangely that light shone right above the Zhang Clan.

Many people stopped what they were doing, they gazed toward that light on the heaven sincerely, some people even kneeled down and bowed toward that golden light.
