Yunwu Commandery is where Justin Leonard lives today. It is one of thousands of regions in the Eastern part of Kunlun Mainland.
Commandery was known as the county level in the First Central Empire. Each commandery was obliged to pay tribute and taxes to the First Central Empire each year.
The authority over the leadership in the commandery is referred to as the "Prince Commander"
Justin Leonard's condition in this new life is the ninth son of Commander Prince Aaron.
As Justin Leonard lay on the cold wooden bed, he could not stop thinking about the Worship Ceremony that would be held tomorrow.
"The owner of this body does not yet possess the 'Holy Mark at the age of 16 years', as if the god had abandoned him. What should I do to increase my chances of getting the 'Holy Sign'?"
There is a belief that when someone wants to get the 'Holy Mark' and become a knight in Kunlun Land, then he needs the approval of the gods who come at the time of the Worship Ceremony.
This practice is known as passing down Martial Arts to posterity.
During the Worship Ceremony, there will be a bridge connecting the sky and earth with the Spirit Realm on the Kunlun Mainland. It serves as a form of offering to the Ruhs in order to enjoy the event that has been prepared by the people of Yunwu. As soon as the needs of the Souls are met, they will choose any gifted human being and will give him the "Holy Sign". In this case, they helped select a human capable of cultivating the essence of Martial Arts.
Generally, the more talented a person is, the faster he or she acquires the "Holy Sign".
In his previous life, Justin Leonard obtained the "Holy Sign" when he was still in his mother's womb. Then he was born and was known as a genius in Martial Arts.
Unfortunately, he has not yet had the opportunity to obtain the "Holy Sign" at the age of 16 in his current life. The ideal age, for example. The older a person is, the less chance they have of getting the "Holy Mark". Basically, he could be classified as a person who had been abandoned by his gods. Even though he came to the ceremony, it seemed like he would not be able to get the "Holy Sign".
Justin Leonard couldn't sleep, he kept thinking about how to get the "Holy Sign". Finally, he simply sat down and played something that resembled a white-colored stone in his hand. The ends of both sides are taper and appear transparent in the middle, looking clean without stains.
Justin Leonard is suspicious of the White Amulet. He began to study it, as it was considered a way to gain the approval of the gods to obtain the "Holy Sign".
This White Amulet meant a lot to Justin Leonard in his previous life. It was on his 16th birthday that Emperor Leonard gave the amulet as a gift for the transition from adolescence to adulthood.
Despite this, Justin Leonard had no idea what the White Amulet was, he had only brought it along the entire time. He never thought that it was still with him even after 800 years.
"I came from 800 years ago and rose 800 years later. Maybe there's something that can be done with this White Talisman" Justin began to analyze.
He closed his eyes and squeezed the White Talisman firmly. The memory of his father, Emperor Ming, slowly came to his mind. Whether he speculates or not, that his father is still alive after 800 years.
Snow fell heavily in the afternoon in Yunwu city.
The next morning, the entire city of Yunwu was covered in snow. The buildings, streets, and surrounding pavilions were also filled with thick snow.
Every year on this day, all the knights of Yunwu city gathered together outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple, worshipped the gods, and were led by the Prince Commander.
Outside the Imperial Ancestral Temple, there was an ancient altar made of rocks. Thousands of cattle, sheep, cows, and pigs were placed on the altar, as well as beasts bound with solid iron chains.
Many people were gathered together for the same reason the queen, concubine, prince, princess, royal servant, and the Martial Arts knights along with a number of young men who were waiting to obtain the "Holy Sign". Like a baby waiting for its mother's arms.
The whole city was impatiently waiting for the peak of the ceremony. It was carried out not only in Yunwu city, but all other cities, all districts, even the entire village that was in Yunwu Commandery.
"Hey, ninth brother! You're 16 years old. Even if you go to the ceremony, you can't possibly get the "Holy Sign". Then why do you still insist on coming here and humiliating yourself?" dion, the Eighth Prince, chuckled in front of Justin Leonard.
The Seventh Prince stood beside the Eighth Prince, who also issued an arrogant argument, "People always say that the king has nine children and each of them has its own uniqueness. Our father is like a hero. I can't believe that he's producing trash! 16 Years and not yet 'Holy Sign'! You are absolutely desperate to humiliate the entire Royal Family! What is your goal in surviving? Why don't you just go to hell?"
What the Seventh Prince said was truly something beyond belief. In the end, that was indeed what was in the heads of all the Princes.
It really demonstrates how fragile the Royal Family's relationship is to him and his family.
In the Kunlun Mainland, only one in ten people are entitled to the "Holy Mark". It could be said that having a knight status was the same as being a superior human being.
To the Martial Arts knights, it was definitely a different matter. Since the Chi Path had indeed flowed in the bodies of the Martial Arts Knights, then the chance to pass it on to their next generation was to become even greater. Therefore, the possibility of obtaining the "Holy Sign" was not something impossible.
Among the sons of Commander Prince Aaron, eight of them had "Holy Signs". So all that is left is Justin Leonard, where he has turned 16 but has not yet got it. That's why it became a joke of the royal family.
Furthermore, many people mocked him as is commonly heard in the phrase "a valiant father and a cowardly child!"
There are also rumors circulating that Justin Leonard is not a son of Commander Prince Aaron. For being the only child who does not yet have a "Holy Sign", which embarrassed all members of the Royal Family.
That was why the other princes regarded Justin Leonard as nothing but trash to the Royal Family. They never acted like brothers in front of him and always wanted him dead.
This year, Commander Prince Aaron also began keeping a distance with Consorts Clara and Justin Leonard. After being exiled by other concubines and empresses. They were chased out of the Jade Palace and moved in at the Side Hall last night.
Justin Leonard just stood up and didn't say a word. He no longer cared about the words of the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince.
He believed that before he got his real strength, people would continue to do so, looking down on him.
