Chapter Twenty-Three: The Nine Heavens Monument

"That's the way it is. Chen Yuan told Xiao Wanqing the ins and outs of the matter, and stood aside and waited quietly for her to deal with it. I don't know why Chen Yuan has a good impression of this city lord's granddaughter, probably because her arrival stopped Ding Hao from kneeling, he has a hunch that this time Ding Hao not only does not have to kneel down to apologize, but this arrogant master and servant may have to be cleaned up by the little princess of this Qingqing City.

Sure enough, as Chen Yuan expected, after he finished telling what happened, Xiao Wanqing's face suddenly became gloomy. "Who gave you the power to make others kneel down and apologize! The square is so big, and the road is so wide! What's the matter? Can't afford you two? My grandfather had already told the nobles of the whole city that in this talent awakening test, the children who came from villages and towns around the city were ten times more than the children of the nobles in the city, which meant that the proportion of geniuses born among them was ten times higher than that of the nobles! Let the nobles restrain their domineering behavior, because once a genius chooses to leave Weiqing City because of the arrogance of the nobles, it will be a huge loss for Weiqing City, don't tell me that you didn't receive a notice! You don't take the city lord seriously!"

Xiao Wanqing swept the two masters and servants with their heads down with a sharp gaze, and was not lightly angry, because he knew that the nobles of the main city despised the common problem of civilians, so his grandfather had already informed all the nobles that they were not allowed to clash with the civilians who came to the test to prevent the loss of talents. Unexpectedly, this awakening ritual had just begun, and he let himself bump into an example of bullying commoners by relying on his aristocratic status.

"You apologize to some people immediately, and then go to get the number plate, and return to the family for ten days after the test, otherwise after the test, I can't say that my grandfather will go back to your family to go around, and when the time comes, you will have to shed a layer of skin if you don't die!" Xiao Wanqing looked at the master and servant like frosted eggplants, shook her hand in disgust, and ordered.

"Yes, yes, we were wrong just now, how offended, and I hope you Haihan. "How dare the master and servant resist, although they are nobles, but the nobles are also divided into levels, the biggest nobles in Xiaoqing City are the city lords, they are small families, people usually don't look at them, and now the city lord has repeatedly ordered that there must be no conflict with civilians, and this time he bumped into the muzzle of the city lord's granddaughter, so naturally he didn't dare to say a word.

"Thank you girl for helping us out, otherwise we don't know what to do, my name is Mu Chenyuan, this is Bai Geng, Ding Hao······ We came here from Linxing Village to awaken and test our talents. After the arrogant master and servant walked away, Chen Yuan bowed down and gave a big salute to the girl, and then briefly introduced the names and origins of the group.

"You're welcome, my name is Xiao Wanqing, you must have heard it, I am the granddaughter of the city lord, as for the two of them, don't care, they don't dare to come to trouble again, blatantly violating grandpa's regulations in the talent awakening ceremony, they dare to commit it again, and they will be picked! Don't be afraid, I'll cover you in the future!" The girl waved her hand indifferently, and her speech was extremely domineering.

Seeing the girl's heroic appearance, Chen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle, seeing that she was unpretentious, treated nobles and commoners equally, and even had a bit of a bandit temperament, Chen Yuan couldn't help but have a little more affection for the granddaughter of this city lord.

"You're also here for the talent awakening test?" Chen Yuan asked, looking at Xiao Wanqing, who was about the same age as himself. "Of course, I got up early in the morning for this, and I looked at the number plate I got in line, and it was high enough. Xiao Wanqing proudly raised the number plate in her hand.

After Chen Yuan saw the numbers on it, he helplessly supported his forehead, because the number plate in the girl's hand was written on the number plate of three hundred and fifty-six, Chen Yuan looked at the girl who was still very proud speechlessly, and said in his heart, "This is still early in the morning?"

"By the way, aren't you the granddaughter of the city lord, why are you still queuing up by yourself?" In Chen Yuan's opinion, there is a city lord grandfather, and the girl doesn't have to queue up to get the number plate by herself, so it's good to send someone to get it. "Grandpa never allowed our family to use aristocratic privileges at will. He said that these things have to be done by yourself, so that they can be called life, otherwise everything will be done by others for you, so what's the point. Xiao Wanqing said as a matter of course.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but admire the old man who had seen him once in the square, Xiao Wanqing was able to completely devoid of the arrogance of the aristocracy, and completely regarded his group as friends when they met for the first time, and did not care about the difference in identity. It seems that this character was greatly influenced by the castle lord.

"By the way, what are the nine pillars of light? What is going on with this so-called talent awakening test, can you tell me, our Linxing Village is located in a remote area, the news is closed, this year is the first time to participate, and the awakening test ceremony is completely black-eyed, and I don't know anything. Chen Yuan saw the pillars of light around the Awakening Palace, his heart moved, and asked Xiao Wanqing, as the granddaughter of her city lord, she should be able to see such a ceremony every year, and she must be extremely familiar with these.

"Oh, then I'll talk to you. Xiao Wanqing readily agreed. "This so-called talent awakening test is divided into two steps, the first step is awakening, and the second step is testing, which you must be able to see from the name of this ritual.

Let's first talk about awakening, the so-called talent awakening, which is the ritual of activating the elemental attributes sleeping in the body through the Nine Heavens Monument, so that people can obtain various elemental abilities."

"Nine Heavens Monument?" Speaking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help asking. In Chen Yuan's impression, his grandfather mentioned to him that there is only one piece of each domain of these Nine Heavens Monument, which is a symbol of a domain, how can it appear in Weiqing City?

"That's right, it's the Nine Heavens Monument. However, it is not the body of the Nine Heavens Monument, but a stone that has been assimilated by the power of the Nine Heavens Monument, and a small Nine Heavens Monument carved by skilled craftsmen. According to legend, our Nine Heavens Domain was originally a barren area, the environment was harsh, and it was difficult to survive, and the human civilization at that time was still a tribal era. Suddenly, one day, nine huge stone tablets wrapped in flames fell from the sky, smashed in the nine directions of the Nine Heavens Domain, the stele was engraved with the words Juntian, Xuantian, Youtian, Haotian, Zhutian, Yantian, Yangtian, Cangtian, and Changing Heaven, and continued to release extremely rich attribute power, and the power released by the nine stone tablets combined with each other complemented each other, slowly transforming the Nine Heavens Domain from a barren land with almost no grass to a suitable for human habitation and full of vitality.

The nine tribes closest to the place where the Nine Heavens Monument fell, because of their proximity to the Nine Heavens Monument, their bodies were completely transformed, and the attribute talents in their awakened bodies possessed powerful powers, developing human civilization to the point where it is today. Thanks to the gift of the Nine Heavens Monument, this land is called the Nine Heavens Domain.

After years of exploration of the Nine Heavens Monument, people found that some mysterious stones appeared on the ground that was smashed down by the Nine Heavens Monument, and these stones shimmered with the same luster as the Nine Heavens Monument. After experiments, it was found that only these stones had the same ability as the Nine Heavens Monument, and those transported to the Nine Heavens Monument could not be assimilated by the Nine Heavens Monument by either stones or any substance, so the number of mysterious stones was limited. To this day, these steles are divided equally among the various domains and used to awaken talents, so there are only eight main cities in each of the nine domains, and the number has not changed for thousands of years.

And because these stones have only been assimilated by the Nine Heavens Monument, their strength is limited, and they can only release their power once a year, and then they have to get it near the Nine Heavens Monument body to replenish energy, so there is this annual talent awakening test ceremony. Xiao Wanqing explained.

Tatsumoto nodded and motioned for the girl to continue. He didn't know much about the Nine Heavens Monument, most of them were mentioned by Mu Yuanshan, and he didn't know about it. At this time, Xiao Wanqing's words made Chen Yuan understand the origin of the Nine Heavens Domain.

(Happy Fairy Sanba!)
