The heavy and desolate drum beat echoed in the vast mountains;
On the mountainside, the majestic ancient temple has a blue sky above it, blocking out the rising daylight, making it appear more solemn and solemn in the bleak autumn wind;
"Rumble..."
The heavy door of the ancient temple slowly opened in a puff of light smoke, and in the vast and silent temple, a huge standing pagoda suddenly appeared in front of countless mortals and monks outside the door;
Vicissitudes of life, solemnity, and solemnity; but revealing an almost weird mystery;
Behind the pagoda statue is a staircase as long as the sky, the end of which is hidden high into the clouds and mist on the mountain top;
But on the hazy mountain top, an ancient altar is clearly visible. From a distance, it is as dazzling and sacred as the Buddha's crown on the pagoda!
That is the glory of the land of Xichuan——
Ancient altar!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The desolate drum beat continued, and as the heavy door burst open, the expressions of everyone present, whether ordinary people or monks, showed faint excitement and uneasiness, and even some inexplicable meanings;
"The ceremony is over! The door is opened! The altar is opened!"
The old man in white clothes who served as the master of ceremonies stood solemnly, with his silver hair flying, and his strong cultivation spread his small voice throughout the thousands of miles of wild mountains;
The ancient altar and the awakening ceremony are only for the geniuses of the world!
"The auspicious time has come! Enter the heavenly realm! Climb the altar!"
"The first person to ascend the altar! The son of Baihe Town, Qingping County, Xichuan Prefecture—"
"Leng Yi!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a faint commotion in the originally silent crowd, and countless eyes instantly focused on the old man and the young man who stood at the head of the crowd;
They were elated, high-spirited, uncertain... Those eyes had different expressions, but no one dared to make a loud noise;
"Child, don't worry, just follow me;"
As if aware of the eyes behind him, the elegant old man in brocade clothes and high crown kindly comforted the young man beside him;
"Yes! Master Cheng!"
The young man with a delicate and tender face responded softly. There was no trace of nervousness in his bright eyes, but instead there was determination and composure beyond his age;
The elegant old man smiled happily, then returned to his serious face, held his head high and walked towards the open door first;
As the old man took a step forward, the strong aura spread out instantly, and the powerful fluctuations of Yuanli were pressed down like mountains, and the turbulent square instantly returned to silence;
Qi gathering realm!
Looking at the old man's mountain-like back, Leng Yi couldn't help but feel shocked;
The leader of Xichuan must be the Cheng family!
The head of the Cheng family is the elegant but powerful old man in front of him - Cheng Guiyun!
Sooner or later...
Leng Yi took a deep breath, then looked back at his inconspicuous father in the crowd behind him;
Good boy! Come on!
In the different eyes of the monks around him, Leng Zhengyuan forced himself to calmly give his son an encouraging look;
Leng Yi nodded firmly, then puffed out his small chest and followed Cheng Guiyun's steps towards the open door and the stairs to the sky!
As Leng Yi moved forward, he was closely followed by the governor of Xichuan and more than a hundred powerful figures from Xichuan and surrounding counties; and at the end, there were dozens of people who had awakened in the same batch as foils.
boys and girls;
Such a sequence, but no one is dissatisfied. Everyone knows who the protagonist of this ceremony is...
When many powerful figures stepped into the gate one after another, the well-known monks from all walks of life who came to watch the ceremony slowly moved forward under the guidance of the ceremony officer, and there was a faint commotion in the crowd again;
"That twelve-year-old kid? The unparalleled genius who is said to be the most likely to awaken a higher bloodline?"
"Of course! We Xichuan Lengyi have been extremely talented since childhood, and are both civil and military. When we were nine years old, we were personally received by the imperial watcher! We have such outstanding external performance before our bloodline has awakened. How could we not be of high-level bloodline?"
"Hmph! The golden phoenix was born in a chicken coop. What do the high-blood families of Xichuan do to eat?"
"Keep your voice down! After the ceremony, the child will call Cheng Guiyun his 'sub-father'!"
…
"Bang!"
The heavy door slammed shut, and those whispers disappeared; but the countless mortals and ordinary monks who were isolated outside the door suddenly burst into cheers!
"God bless me! I, Xichuan, have finally made it through!"
"Just watch, all the foreigners! With the blessing of Mr. Leng, I, Xichuan, will surpass you sooner or later!"
…
The bleak autumn wind passed through the bustling crowd and blew the young man's long hair;
Looking at the withered yellow trees on both sides of the steps and the vast desolate mountains in the distance, Leng Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad;
Although Xichuan Mansion is vast in territory, it is the most barren place in the world of Daqi Dynasty. No matter what era, whether mortals or monks, there is always only one impression in the eyes of outsiders -
Poor mountains and rivers bring out unruly people!
One day...
Leng Yi clenched her small fists hard, and a determined look slowly passed through her delicate eyes;
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of the drum was still there, and when the ancient temple was gradually hidden under the clouds and smoke, Leng Yi calmly climbed up the last step and looked up at the legendary ancient altar;
Ancient stone carvings, vicissitudes of talisman carvings, and mysterious formations make this altar covered with traces of time as mysterious as its origin, almost eerie...
However, it is this strange altar that not only has the power of awakening that will shock the ages, it can even trigger the vitality of heaven and earth to thoroughly cleanse the blood of the awakened person, making the blood become more pure and rich;
However, the altar has finally suffered from the erosion of time. In order to protect this unprecedented miracle, the ancestors of the Xichuan cultivation world once issued a decree:
The ancient altar cannot be opened except by the geniuses of the world!
Therefore, in a thousand years, the "Bloodline Awakening Ceremony" has only been held a dozen times;
And today!
Looking at the legendary ancient altar, Leng Yi couldn't help but feel a little more excited and expectant while feeling how small he was;
"Woo--!"
The drums fell silent, and the melodious horns sounded. As everyone gathered together, the dense vitality dyed the entire mountain top like a holy land;
"My dear Baihe Lengyi, I have met Mr. Cheng! I have met Mr. Fu Yin! I have met all of you!"
In front of a stone platform on one side of the altar, Leng Yi knelt down on the ground and knelt down to several powerful figures sitting on it. His respectful but neither humble nor arrogant performance caused a burst of chaos in the energy on the stone platform;
"Leng Yi, no courtesy! Behave well! Tonight I will serve you a drink at the Cheng Mansion to celebrate!" Cheng Guiyun stood up and took a step forward, urging him seriously but lovingly;
"Thank you, Master Cheng!" Leng Yi kowtowed again gratefully. In the past ten years, the Leng family has been cared for by Cheng Guiyun, even though he knew it was an investment...
"The first awakened one! Baihe Lengyi!"
Amid the shouts of the ceremony officials, Leng Yi slowly climbed onto the majestic altar and climbed to the top of Xichuan amid hundreds of eyes with different expressions!
In the vast sky and the boundless land, the young man's long hair is flying freely in the wind!
When a wisp of black hair passed through Ruju's eyes, Leng Yi took a deep look at the desolate land of Xichuan, then suddenly turned around and strode into the center of the altar;
“Buzz—!”
As Leng Yi stepped in, the ancient altar began to move, and a pair of mysterious formations bloomed with dazzling brilliance, and then connected into one, forming a huge golden pattern at Leng Yi's feet!
Immediately afterwards, the golden pattern slowly rotated, and an ancient and vicissitudes of energy slowly dispersed. The ensuing pressure of the mountain made everyone breathe quickly, and the huge mountain top was silent for a while...
"boom!"
A roar suddenly exploded. In the shocked eyes of everyone, the peaceful vitality rushed out in an instant, forming a dazzling beam of light that shot straight into the sky. A mighty aura that seemed to come from ancient times swept in all directions like an overwhelming mountain.
!
Wherever that powerful aura swept across, the clear sky seemed to be swallowed up and turned into an endless starry sky. Thousands of miles of wild mountains were instantly shrouded in starlight, and only a trace of blue clear sky remained on the distant horizon;
There is a strange phenomenon in the sky! Outstanding people appear in the world!
At this moment, countless residents in big cities and small towns with a radius of thousands of miles stopped and fell to their knees towards the distant mountain top, where the light pillars soared into the sky like a sea tide...
And in the heart of the pillar of light, the young man clearly felt a sacred breath descending from the sky, slowly covering him like the light of the sun and the moon, and a hot but peaceful power instantly filled his body!
Feeling the baptism of the essence of heaven and earth, the young man closed his eyes, slowly opened his arms, and bathed in the sacred light. An unprecedented sense of tranquility and etherealness filled his heart...
Looking at the blurry but peerless figure in the beam of light, everyone on the mountain seemed to see a peerless strong man standing tall, who could move mountains and seas with just a wave of his hand, and pick stars every month -
"Snapped……"
Suddenly, a soft sound resounded through everyone's minds like thunder!
At the same time, Leng Yi, who was immersed in the boundless tranquility, suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of unbelievable shock flashed through his calm eyes -
I saw the dazzling light pillar burst into thousands of brilliance in an instant, the golden array dimmed in an instant, the mighty aura disappeared in an instant, and the unparalleled powerful man who was in a trance also disappeared into thin air!
The boundless starry sky slowly faded away, and what was left was not the rising day, but the vast gray sky thousands of miles away;
Everything is like a dream!
Everyone who was so shocked was still in a daze, but only Leng Yi looked at the awakening stone tablet next to the altar for the first time -
No--!
Looking at the dazzling characters on the stone tablet, the young man's face instantly turned as pale as paper. He heard a "stab" sound, and the fine brocade clothes were scratched to pieces...
what happened?
Everyone who had just woken up from a dream sensitively discovered the boy's abnormality, and countless suspicious eyes gathered at him for a while;
"Bloodline Potential——"
After reacting, the old man in white spoke solemnly, but did not use his cultivation to spread his voice in all directions; everyone present seemed to realize something and held their breath...
“Superior!”
"Huh..." Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but complain in their hearts that the old and the young were showing off some mystery;
"Bloodline level..."
The old man's voice became more solemn;
"No... no grade;"
What--?!
At this moment, countless people's eyes widened, their heartstrings that had just been relaxed were tightened again, and their minds were in chaos;
"Bloodline attributes... no attributes;"
"Comprehensive results..."
"It's difficult to practice!"
Difficult to practice!
These four words exploded in everyone's ears like a bolt from the blue, and for a while the entire mountaintop became as silent as a thousand-year-old ancient tomb!
"call……"
The cold mountain wind blew through the quiet altar, carrying a few withered yellow leaves...
"Sh--!!!"
The silent crowd suddenly erupted into harsh boos, which surged in all directions like a sea wave; the usually calm and steady young man then collapsed heavily to the ground, and his delicate little face became as white as paper!
"Get out!"
At this moment, there was a deafening roar, and Leng Yi watched blankly as a heavy Eight Immortals table flew past the crowd with a harsh whistling sound, and hit him hard and turned into dust all over the sky!
The young man suddenly trembled, but he saw a livid-faced Cheng Guiyun standing on the stone platform amidst the gloating laughter of a group of strong men!
Looking at those murderous eyes, Leng Yi staggered down the altar. The child's instinct told him that there was his father in the crowd, and there was a hug that could shield him from everything...
However, what came into view was only one road that was avoided like the god of plague;
The disappointed eyes of monk Xichuan, the disdainful expressions of monks from other places, the deep sighs of the two cold elders...
There was also the curve of my father's waist at that moment, and the suppressed sobs between his old fingers!
No one said anything;
There is no sound at this time, but it is far better than the sound!
The young man's heart was bleeding slowly...
Leng Yi trembled and opened his pale lips, but in the end he said nothing, but lowered his head that had always been held high and walked slowly towards the road of hell!
"Hey, he is a genius of this generation who is difficult to cultivate. Let's just say that this Xichuan is a poor place..."
"How can there be such a top-notch bloodline in this world? Alas..."
"I'm here to witness a miracle! I'm actually witnessing a miraculous waste! Bah!"
Amidst the rain of eye rolls and sarcasm, the short passage seemed to have no end. The crowds on both sides were treating the condemned prisoners being paraded through the streets, trying their best to show the ugliness of human nature...
The scorching sun shone unscrupulously on the bleak figure of the young man. The young man lowered his head, biting his lips to hold back the pain in his eyes, and allowed the blood at the corner of his mouth to dye his white brocade clothes red...
