Chapter 2: Awakening Rite
"They...... What's going on?"
Seeing the crazy behavior of the two, Wang Tingyun was a little confused and asked.
His eyes slowly returned to normal, and Ying Zhang replied lightly: "Who knows, mental illness is not good, most of them are wasted." ”
"Oh yes!" Wang Tingyun suddenly turned his head, stared at Ying Zhang with a stunning face and said, "Xiao Zhang, don't forget, tomorrow is the day of the Awakening Soul Festival, you must not forget to go!"
"Awakening Soul Sacrifice...... Ying Zhang searched his memory and immediately understood that this was the ritual of awakening the "Destiny Totem".
At the beginning of their cultivation, people on the Fu Soul Continent will use meditation to comprehend the spiritual power between heaven and earth, so as to awaken the life grid totem to establish their own life grid and establish the direction of their cultivation.
Awaken the thunder totem, the warrior can perceive the power of thunder and lightning, thunder, like a bamboo, awaken the wind totem, the warrior can obtain the formless, colorless, and deadly power.
The awakening of the martial artist requires an extremely deep meditation state to feel it, so people will hold a ritual to facilitate the awakening of the warrior, and this ritual is called the awakening sacrifice.
After comforting Wang Tingyun, who was still worried about him, Ying Zhang watched her go away, looking at the house with four walls, Ying Zhang smiled self-deprecatingly.
Even though he was reborn as a human being, the arrogance of his previous life never changed. Today, at the mercy of others, the humiliation suffered is all because of lack of strength!
Strength!
Ying Zhang's eyes were split, and his hands were clenched. If you want to get rid of all this, you can only have strong strength! You must be strong, otherwise, how can you regain your dignity, and there is still ...... Wait, dragon, my vengeance!
"This body is too weak! It seems that I can only wait until tomorrow's 'Awakening Soul Sacrifice' and awaken the life grid totem, and then decide my cultivation method!"
"However, although I have countless ways to improve my strength, this life grid totem is not forced. Tomorrow is the Awakening Soul Festival, so it's definitely too late to prepare!"
Ying Zhang was still thinking about the way to awaken the totem, but found that something suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Rubik's Cube!
He was so surprised that he flipped his hand, and a five-Rubik's cube appeared in his hand.
It has twelve faces, each of which is a regular pentagonal shape, with sharp edges and corners like an axe, as if a little starlight, dazzling.
The Rubik's Cube is about two inches square in size, and its whole body is obsidian. On the surface of the Rubik's Cube, there are some runes as thin as mosquitoes and flies, as if telling its extraordinary history.
The material of this Rubik's Cube is peculiar, and it looks like there is some metallic texture, but the tentacles have a slight sense of warmth, but it is not as cold as metal.
Looking at the Rubik's Cube, Ying Zhang's heart was filled with strong questions.
This Rubik's Cube was a treasure he had accidentally found in his previous life. Ying Zhang rummaged through the ancient books, and finally found that this Rubik's Cube had a great relationship with the mystery of the talisman soul, so he also took it with him. But I didn't expect that I would travel here and bring such a thing......
......
On the morning of the second day, Ying Zhang got up early and went to attend the Awakening Festival held in the sect.
The Youyun Sect is the largest force in this Yunyang Mansion for hundreds of miles, and the young disciples in the sect will also go to the Youyun Academy Palace in the sect to study. The Awakening Sacrifice is held in the main peak, Lingming Peak.
Lingming Peak, which was originally as quiet as before, was bustling and crowded at the moment. Those are all disciples waiting for the awakening totem.
The Awakening Festival is held once a year and can be attended by both young children and those approaching adulthood. However, the higher a person's talent, the sooner the totem awakens, and the faster the cultivation progresses.
Of course, the younger the person, the greater the chance of awakening the lifeline, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, the body has fully developed, and the possibility of awakening the lifeline is very low.
Walking into the main hall of Lingming Peak, Ying Zhang saw that there was a huge bell in the center of this hall, which was the Awakening Bell, which was exerted by the strong in the bell, which had the effect of calming the soul and calming the nerves, so that people could meditate in the bell, which made the meditation perception stronger and easier to perceive the totem.
"Yo, isn't that Ying Zhang? I was just expelled from the school palace yesterday, and today I came to awaken the totem? I'm sixteen years old, so why bother to be embarrassed?"
"I've been participating in the Awakening Festival since I was six years old, and I have been attending the Awakening Festival until I was fifteen years old.
When the disciples next to him saw Ying Zhang, they immediately showed a look of disdain and disdain on their faces, and echoed each other.
And the bigger reason is that Chen Ruzhi is extremely strong in the Youyun Sect, and in order to curry favor with him, Ying Zhang naturally became the target of public criticism.
Lin Zhang's brows furrowed, his fists clenched, and then soothed. The two lives of people have made him a great change in his state of mind.
Gossip itself is not lethal, but only that you don't care. Before you don't have enough strength to shut up others, you have to concentrate on cultivation, otherwise, it's just mediocrity and self-disturbance.
And now, the most important thing is to participate in the Awakening Soul Festival and awaken the life grid totem, which is the starting point of all strength.
"Knock...... Knock ......"
The melodious bell rings, heralding the official start of the festival. In the main hall, there are countless futons, and people sit on the futons to meditate and awaken.
Yingzhang came to his place.
"Why are you here?"
Ying Zhang looked at his position. This is the corner of the main hall, and the person who sits in the center is generally closer to the Awakening Bell has a better chance of successful meditation, and the opposite is true for the remote position.
Lin Zhang's eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of Chen Ruzhi, who was standing in front of the main hall with a strange smile on his face, and suddenly understood a lot in his heart, so he didn't speak, and sat down peacefully.
Now is the critical moment, the mind is restless, but the victim is suffering.
"Boy, fight me!"
Chen Ruzhi, who looked at the success of his plan, touched his chin, and there was a malicious smile on his face.
As soon as Ying Zhang sat down, he heard a soft "Come on!" in his ear, and turned his head to look over, Wang Tingyun was looking at him in the crowd, his face was full of relief and gentle smile.
Ying Zhang smiled and nodded at her slightly. Seeing the people around him, many of whom were children who had not dried up, Ying Zhang couldn't help but sweat.
Then, Ying Zhang closed his eyes and meditated quietly.
The bell containing profound spiritual power made Ying Zhang's perception suddenly increase a lot. Between the chest and abdomen, in Yingzhang's mind, there seemed to be a hazy shadow, indescribable.
In the outside world, the bell rang for a while, and then there was a whisper of discussion.
"You see, that son of the Xu Zhangza family is only nine years old, and he can awaken the totem so quickly! That's ...... Celestial Leopard Totem?"
On the field, a halo slowly filled many people's bodies, and then gradually soared and condensed into a phantom. The various shapes on the phantom form a variety of life grid totems.
Gradually, many people succeeded in cohesion, so the voices of discussion, congratulations, and frustration after failure gradually diffused.
"Haha, congratulations to Brother Wang, Ling Yuan has awakened a totem, congratulations!"
"Where can I compare to your son-in-law's second-grade totem, it's a prize!"
"Who is that little boy? He has awakened the three-grade totem! Look at him is only six or seven years old, and his future is immeasurable!"
The totem is divided into one to nine grades, with one rank being the lowest and nine being the highest. It's just that the common totems are mostly below the second grade, and there are very few third-grade totems, and when they reach the fourth grade, they are already geniuses.
In the main hall, only a few people succeeded in awakening the life grid totem, most of them walked away in despair, and some teenagers were unwilling and continued to sit and meditate.
"Stick to your heart and don't get distracted. Today I will awaken my life!"
The melodious bell still continued, and Lin Zhang gradually sank into his heart with the sound of the bell, but somehow, in his mind, that Rubik's Cube appeared!
I saw the Rubik's Cube, slowly rising, suspended in mid-air, mysterious and weird.
Immediately afterward, the originally black Rubik's Cube suddenly burst out of countless dazzling golden rays, as if the light was about to burst out of it desperately, and finally gathered into a beam of blazing light, soaring into the sky.
