The area containing national-level cultural relics has a solemn and respectful atmosphere.

"This is the Houmuwu Ding, the crown jewel of Shang Dynasty bronzes. The Taotie pattern on the body of the ding is ferocious and majestic, and it has a powerful aura that suppresses the fate of the country and establishes the rule over the world."

Unlike the usual round tripod with two handles and three legs, this giant tripod is square with two handles and four legs. It sits on the display stand, reaching to the sky and standing on the ground. Although the bronze is mottled and looks like an ancient artifact salvaged from the long river of time, it is still majestic, solemn, and imposing.

Without a doubt, the Overlord Cauldron is not on the same level as the Overlord Cauldron in terms of form, heritage, or power.

"The Marquis Yi of Zeng's chime bells, sixty-five bronze bells, are suspended on a wooden frame. Even though no one strikes them, it seems as if ancient music is silently echoing within them."

Xia Xinghandong looked at it carefully, appreciating it with great interest.

The jade dragon of the Hongshan Culture is coiled like a ring and carved from a single piece of Xiuyan jade. The dragon's head and eyes are carved with minimalist carving techniques, yet they are bright and spirited, as if they have a soul. They looked at Xia Xinghan for a moment, as if they were alive.

A fragment of the original copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia from the Ming Dynasty; the pages are yellowed but well-preserved.

On the open page, the ink is clear, and each square character seems to carry the wisdom and effort of countless sages, calm and profound.

"These are all good things, but the grand finale is yet to come."

Xia Xinghan admired in his heart, then turned his head to look at the deepest part of the treasure vault, his big eyes sparkling and his gaze burning.

That place... is where the sacred relics rest!

The level of protection here is no different from that of the outer perimeter, because sacred relics possess a spirit and can often revive on their own, unleashing unimaginable and mysterious power.

So to be precise, it's not that the base contained the relic, but rather that the relic recognized the current Xia Kingdom's government and was willing to slumber here.

There are currently four sacred relics lying dormant in the national treasure trove:

The Sun Bird Gold Ornament, a gold artifact from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, features a design of four divine birds flying around the sun. The flowing lines exude a fiery and sacred aura, as if containing a wisp of the primordial laws of the sun.

The Li Gui of the Western Zhou Dynasty, also known as the "King Wu's Conquest of Shang Gui", the "Zhou's Demise of Heaven Gui", or the "Tan Gong Gui".

The vessel is dignified in shape, with animal-head double ears and pendants, a drooping belly, and a square base cast below the ring foot.

The body and square base are decorated with taotie patterns, and the four corners of the square base are decorated with cicada patterns. The body and square base are fully decorated with taotie patterns, and the four corners are decorated with cicada patterns.

The most precious part is the inscription cast on the bottom of the vessel. In just four lines and thirty-three characters, it clearly records the earth-shaking historical event of King Wu's conquest of Zhou on the morning of the Jiazi day. Every word carries immense weight.

The bronze sacred tree of Sanxingdui is three meters tall, with forked branches, nine divine birds on its branches, and a blue dragon coiled at its base.

The entire object has a strange and mysterious shape, as if it were not an ordinary object, but a passage or totem connecting the three realms of heaven, earth and man.

as well as--

An empty wall.

Following Xia Xinghan's gaze, Mr. Qian explained softly, "There used to be a portrait of a modern figure hanging there, but that relic... is somewhat special, so it's not displayed here."

Xia Xinghan nodded without asking any further questions.

His gaze swept over the relics, his super brain began to operate at full speed, and his super vision captured every minute detail.

Each relic is a piece of history, a civilization, and a condensation of "meaning".

The weighty and majestic bronze tripod, the elegant and proper chime bells, the leaping and lively jade dragon, the sun-like divinity of gold ornaments...

He will rely on the "hardware" advantage granted by his superhuman bloodline, combined with his own comprehension and knowledge, to deduce, simulate, and create a brand new martial art!

"How was it?" Qian asked in a low voice, with anticipation. "Did you gain any insights?"

"Is it possible to... create a martial art?"

Mr. Qian did not have high requirements; he only needed to create one discipline.

After all, creating a martial arts style is no easy task; it's like creating something from nothing.

Currently, apart from the Overlord's Fixed Fist, the Xia Kingdom has no other martial arts with artistic conception, leaving it a blank space that urgently needs to be explored.

Xia Xinghan closed his eyes.

In his mind, the form, aura, and imagery of the relics he had just seen began to slowly merge together.

The domineering suppression of the Overlord Cauldron, the strategic cunning of Sun Tzu's Art of War, the heaven-reaching intent of the Bronze Divine Tree, the blazing light of the Sun Bird...

too difficult!

"I need time." Xia Xinghan opened his eyes and said seriously, "Give me seven days to observe from here."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian gasped in shock: "Seven days? Staying here the whole time?"

"Yes." Xia Xinghua's tone was firm. "The creation of the realm of martial arts requires deep understanding. A cursory glance can only grasp the form, not the essence."

Mr. Qian hesitated briefly.

Sending someone to stay in the nation's top secret vault for seven days is absolutely unprecedented.

But considering the potential Xia Xinghan has shown, and the value of the Art of Martial Arts to the future of the nation…

Seven days, if I can gain a martial art of profound meaning in exchange for it, it's worth it!

"Alright! Grandpa believes in you, I'll go apply right now." Old Qian made up his mind, a smile appearing on his face. "You wait."

He leaned on his cane, turned around, and hurried away.

Xia Xinghan stood alone in the center of the treasure vault, looking around.

Millions of years of civilization and thousands of years of historical heritage are condensed in this treasure trove.

And he wants to transform these "ideas" into the "laws" of this new era.

The suppressive power of the bronze tripod, the melodious beauty of the chime bells, the soaring momentum of the jade dragon, the fiery heat of the sun in the gold ornaments…

Various insights, like a gentle stream, grew in his heart.

"I'm afraid I'm not capable of creating a martial art that rivals the level of a sacred relic... Oh well, let's start with the national-level first."

Xia Xinghan stood in front of the Sun Bird gold ornament for a moment, then silently left and moved to the display case of the Hongshan Culture jade dragon.

"Hmm, the national-level doesn't seem suitable for me either. Let's look at the legendary level... Hmm, one should be down-to-earth and not aim too high."

Xia Xinghan consoled himself, decisively turned around, and walked towards the area of ​​heirloom-level artifacts, stopping in front of one of the objects—

The bronze galloping horse from the Eastern Han Dynasty, also known as "Horse Trampling a Flying Swallow".

He gazed intently at the bronze galloping horse, its perfect moment captured in time. The horse's three hooves were in the air, with one foot lightly resting on the back of a startled bird looking back, freezing the beauty of speed and power in timeless stillness.

"The Flying Horse Tramples a Swallow... The Flying Horse Tramples a Swallow..."

Xia Xinghan observed the display case while seemingly moving around it in a chaotic manner.

When Qian returned with the news of the approval, he was surprised to see three blurry afterimages of infants around the display case of the bronze galloping horse!

Old Qian subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and when he looked again, the afterimage had disappeared, leaving only Xia Xinghan's true form standing in front of the cabinet.

The speed was too fast just now, which is why it left behind an afterimage!

Knowing that Xia Xinghan had entered a crucial stage in pioneering martial arts, Elder Qian did not disturb him but quietly withdrew, specifically asking Elder Guo at the entrance to take good care of him.

When Elder Guo learned that Xia Xinghan had not come to let the relics choose their owner, but to observe the relics and create his own martial arts, his usually calm heart was stirred, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

The thoughts and actions of a baby just over one year old already exceed the bounds of common sense, and can be described as miraculous.

Mr. Guo still felt a sense of admiration.

Inside the national treasure trove.

Xia Xinghan was completely oblivious to his surroundings, his mind completely absorbed in observation and deduction.

He observed the bronze galloping horse with piercing eyes, capturing the ultimate speed and lightness frozen in the bronze. Combining this with his own understanding of the circulation of spiritual energy, a footwork martial art that emphasizes movement and speed gradually took shape in his mind and continued to be perfected.

"If this footwork is practiced to its fullest extent, one may be able to traverse the air as swiftly as a flying swallow, moving through the void with lightning speed."

Xia Xinghan pondered for a moment, then suddenly tapped his small fist lightly against his other palm, exclaiming excitedly, "Hmm... let's call it 'Treading on the Flying Swallow'!"
