Chapter Twelve: Ziheng's Trial

  Here is the translation of the text:

  The young master, Zi Wei, was thrown into a whirlpool by his grandfather, the emperor. The whirlpool was so powerful that it could swallow a mountain. Zi Wei's body was tossed about like a leaf, and he couldn't even stand still.

  Just when he thought all was lost, he remembered the words of his grandfather: "The way can be spoken, but it is not the ultimate truth; names can be named, but they are not the ultimate reality." He repeated these words to himself, and suddenly, his body felt lighter, and the pressure of the water decreased.

  He continued to recite the words, and his body began to emit a strange energy that countered the whirlpool's power. The water around him began to calm down, and he was able to stand still.

  With renewed confidence, Zi Wei started to move his hands in a specific pattern, as if performing a martial art. The movements were slow and gentle, but they seemed to have a profound effect on the water. The whirlpool's power began to wane, and the water started to flow in the opposite direction.

  Zi Wei took advantage of this opportunity to swim upwards, using his hands to push against the water. It was a difficult task, but he persevered, using all his strength and energy.

  Finally, he broke through the surface of the water and emerged into the air. The eight members of the Golden Clan, who were watching from the shore, were amazed by what they saw. They had never seen anyone survive the whirlpool before.

  Zi Wei was exhausted but triumphant. He looked up at his grandfather and father, who were sitting on the throne, and saw that they were both smiling. His grandfather spoke, "You have passed the test, but only barely. You still need to work harder."

  And with that, a book appeared in front of Zi Wei, floating in mid-air. It was bound in purple leather and had the title "_The Purple Classic_" embossed on it.

  From that day on, Zi Wei's life would never be the same again. He would embark on a new journey, one that would take him to unknown heights and depths.
