Chapter 8: The Sacrifice of the Star Gods, the Light of the Gods

In Chu Xi's impression, most of the tall towers occupy a small area, and they can't be built too high, but everything in the Star God Continent is subversive.

The Star God Temple is as high as 100 floors, covering an area of several acres, the first ten floors are each a hall, and the middle thirty floors are all kinds of office spaces.

The last sixty floors, each floor is the residence of a star soul powerhouse, the higher the cultivation, the higher the level.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and the most important festival in the mainland, the Star God Festival, has finally begun.

The stars do not come out during the day, and the Star God Festival is naturally held at night.

As soon as the sky was dark, countless devout followers came from all directions carrying various meteorites, which were said to be scattered fragments of stars.

Chu Dong sent Chu Xi to the door of the Star God Temple and left, standing with a group of teenagers of the same age, Chu Xi's attention was focused on the sacrificial ceremony.

An old man with kind eyebrows and a snow-white beard reaching the ground began to command a group of soldiers and armor to build a star platform.

The so-called star platform is an inverted pyramid-shaped high platform, and all believers walk around Tiantong City with specific rituals and routes, and all kinds of meteorites in their hands begin to be thrown into the depression of the star platform.

The old man, who should be a god, sat cross-legged on the edge of the high platform, his eyes closed, and he was chanting.

The meteorites in the hands of thousands of believers began to gradually fill the inverted pyramid, Chu Xi and the others were arranged to sit around the Xingtai group according to their age groups, and King Tiantong and other important people came to the stage to drop the meteorites in their hands.

The king of Tiantong Kingdom is a slender middle-aged man with a long body, and after standing on a high platform and reciting a sacrificial text, the head of the Wangdu Star Temple also came to the stage to give a speech.

What is curious is that the principal turned out to be a middle-aged beauty, with a graceful posture and an ethereal tone, unfortunately a piece of white veil covered her true face, and only a smooth and immaculate forehead and a pair of bright eyes were leaked because of the bun being coiled.

The only celestial star envoy in the Tiantong Kingdom praised the star god and retreated under the high platform.

As soon as the white-bearded old man waved his hand again, the choir began to sing the ancient ode to the god of the stars.

Because of the use of ancient languages, Chu Xi didn't understand a word, but felt that the singing was pleasant, and he felt a sense of solemnity and quietness.

After the choir ended, the whole star god festival also ushered in the climax, and the white-bearded old man began to command a group of temple star envoys to recite incantations.

With the chanting of the incantation, the hundred-story building was the first to light up, and then a layer of fluorescent light gradually lit up all over Tiantong City.

As if with the Star Temple as the center, the fluorescent light from all over the city began to face the tower, outlining a huge starry sky map, shrouding the square.

The young man who was about to be baptized was bathed in soft fluorescence, and he seemed to have turned into a golden boy and a girl.

The most respected thing in the Star God Continent is Star Power.

But star power can only be absorbed by a star warrior who has awakened the star soul and cooperates with the corresponding exercises, all because star power is actually a fierce and violent force.

Forcibly receiving star power, the light will be seriously injured, the meridians will be burned, and the body will be burned to death.

The Star God Temple didn't know what kind of formation it used, using meteorites as the source to absorb and purify the violent elements in the star power, making it soft and harmless.

This step is the most important step in baptism, the divine light bathing the body.

As time passed, the entire heavenly vault became a huge sea of stars, and the choir, led by the old priests, chanted incantations.

This spell was directed at the star spirits of the young men, soothing all other emotions, and Chu Xi only felt as if he was out of his body, and everything around him could not be seen or smelled.

In the eyes of the crowd around the square, the teenagers just closed their eyes, as if they were meditating.

However, what Chu Xi feels now is that he is alone in the sea of stars, surrounded by stars, within reach and feeling far away from him.

Because of the long distance of the royal capital, there are not many young people who have really received the baptism of this star god in Tiantong City, and there are only tens of thousands of people in total.

The various officials of the Star God Temple are now holding something like a compass in units of 100 meters, carefully observing.

The Celestial Star also had one piece in his hand, but it was larger and the lines on it were more complicated.

This is a astrolabe, which can sense subtle changes in star power, so as to find out who awakens the star soul.

Normally, the Divine Light Bath lasts for a quarter of an hour, and the meteorites in the altar will no longer absorb the Berserk Elemental due to saturation.

After the divine light bath is over, most of the teenagers who have no chance to open the sea of stars will wake up, but successfully opening the sea of stars does not mean that they will definitely be able to awaken the star soul.

Opening the sea of stars is only the first step, in the sea of stars, if you can attract one or more stars, outline a specific thing, and reflect it in the depths of your heart, then the star soul will be awakened.

The specific thing outlined, called the astrological sign, is considered to be a projection of the star soul, and if it is cultivated in the future, then it will materialize and become the astrological aspect.

Generally speaking, the more stars that make up a star soul, the better, but it is not excluded that some people only attract one star, but that star is of high quality and large in size, and this kind of person is not inferior to a person who attracts several stars.

Chu Xi was in the sea of stars, only to feel that it was magical, and at the beginning, he was still sitting cross-legged as if he was in the square, not daring to move.

But after a while, Chu Xi, who couldn't sit still, finally stood up and tried to take a step.

There was no imaginary frustration, the void was like an invisible ground carrying it, and Chu Xi began to wander around, even running.

The stars in the sea of stars looked very close, but he couldn't touch them anyway, and he stopped walking in vain, and he stood there and looked at the stars.

The baptism of the star god will not tell the teenagers in advance about the divine light bathing body and what to do in the sea of stars, all kinds of mysteries can only be experienced by themselves and enlightened.

Ordinary people naturally don't know what the Star Soul Awakening is like, but the Star Warriors who have experienced all this know very well, but they won't reveal a single thing.

This has been bought in exchange for lessons from countless failures.

Once, there was more than one star warrior who told his experience in advance when his children and juniors were baptized.

At that time, those people still felt that as a star martial artist, they had an incomparable advantage over their juniors.

However, later they all regretted it, because none of the young men who knew the secret in advance could awaken the star soul.

The baptism of the star gods has existed since ancient times, and the star warriors have become more and more powerful, and the martial arts civilization about the star soul has become more and more prosperous, and the relevant knowledge has become more and more complete.

Later, some powerful star warriors were able to judge whether a person had the potential to awaken the star soul through a kind of underworld perception, and developed and perfected a series of test methods based on these.

Some of the descendants of the Star Warriors have been judged by themselves or other powerful Star Warriors to have a high chance of awakening the Star Soul, but the practice of breaking through the secrets of the Star Sea in advance is self-defeating, making many people regret it.
