Chapter 5: The Spiritualization Ceremony

5.

"Great Elder, don't do it!" many people objected at once.

"Yes, the Qingling Academy is a cultivation school, and it only recruits cultivators, how can it allow mortals to enroll as well?"

"This exotic person, at first glance, is already in his 20s, has not awakened the spiritual root, and is already destined to have no chance with the immortal path, why waste resources to awaken the spiritual root for him. ”

The Great Elder listened to the discussions around him, and after pondering for a while, he stroked his beard and said, "That's it, 3 days later is the day when the next Spiritual Enlightenment Ceremony will be held, and then let Cheng Li go to the Spiritual Enlightenment Ceremony and try to see if he can awaken the spiritual root first." If not, make further arrangements. ”

"But, Great Elder, he's over 16 years old......"

"I've made up my mind, so be it. ”

......

After 3 days......

"Brother Cheng Li, today is the day of the Qingling City's spiritual opening ceremony, whether you can awaken the spiritual root or not depends on today. A little scholar who led the way said to Cheng Li.

Today is June 6, 9999 in the nine-day calendar, and it has been 3 days since Cheng Li traveled to this world of cultivation.

Three days ago, the Great Elder overrode public opinion and made an exception to include Cheng Li in the Qingling Academy, but Cheng Li, who is a mortal, can only go to preschool with the schoolchildren.

Only when Cheng Li awakens the spiritual root in the opening ceremony can he become a full-fledged student and break away from the preschool of that large number of five or six-year-old children.

However, although it was only a preschool class, Cheng Li still learned a lot of things hungrily, especially a lot of information about the world.

It's a world called "Nine Days".

10,000 years ago, there was originally a giant continent called Shenzhou in this world.

However, in a great war of annihilation 10,000 years ago, the entire Shenzhou was blown up.

The giant continent was shattered into countless pieces, forming islands.

The islands were eventually swept up in nine days, suspended in an endless storm of mist.

Forming a unique "Nine Heavens" environment, the year in which this battle of annihilation took place, is also known as the first year of the Nine Heavens.

The Misty Storm is the remnants of that world-destroying war, and it has a terrifying power that makes it impossible for anyone to enter the Misty Storm.

As a result, all islands were isolated and became isolated islands.

Although 99% of all living things were extinct due to the war of annihilation, 1% of the living beings survived on the isolated islands.

Moreover, these isolated islands, although they are called islands, are large and small, and the large ones have a radius of thousands of miles, which is enough to support the independent development of a racial civilization.

As a result, the surviving people, demons, and demons survived independently on isolated islands, and developed different civilizations with their own characteristics, even completely different.

Until 2000 years ago, the Fog Storm changed once, with two intervals of one month each year, in January and June.

Storms will stop during intervals, but the fog remains.

At this time, there is a trace of mutual passage between the isolated islands.

Although it is still a very dangerous thing to enter the fog, as long as you find a pattern and after a lot of attempts, there is still a chance to find a passable "fog route".

As a result, after nearly a thousand years of exploration, many isolated islands, during the intervals of storms, began to communicate with each other and established communication channels.

However, at this time, people found that after nearly 10,000 years of isolation and independent development, each island has its own culture and unique development direction.

Even if it is a human race, it is also a cultivation civilization, and it has also developed some things like Spirit Armor, Dan Cultivation, and Body Cultivation...... Even mechanical civilization, steam civilization, and other cultivation branches that are completely different from the cultivation system.

Not to mention those demon races, beast races, and demon races that are different from the human race, the differentiation between them is even more serious.

So, 1,000 years ago, a large-scale Xiuzhen war that swept all the isolated islands finally broke out.

History is known as the "Great Dark Age".

After the Great Dark Age, every isolated island, as soon as it discovers a new route to other isolated islands, will strike first to avoid suffering its own attack.

And this kind of behavior is also known as the "law of the dark forest". ”

Qingling Island was almost slaughtered in the "Great Dark Age" thousands of years ago.

In the end, he had no choice but to launch a self-sealing array to seal the entire Qingling Island in the misty storm, so that the outside world could no longer find the "misty route" to Qingling Island.

Qingling Island has been self-proclaimed for thousands of years, until a hundred years ago, an isolated island drifted to the vicinity of Qingling Island by coincidence, and a temporary route with Qingling Island was created intermittently.

This isolated island is the Blood Demon Island.

As a result, between Qingling Island and Blood Demon Island, in the past hundred years, more than a dozen wars have broken out one after another, and almost every time a temporary route is generated, Blood Demon Island will launch an attack on Qingling Island.

This time, Huo Wu and Ye Lin, on the day of the start of the interval on June 1, went to reconnoiter in the fog and accidentally discovered an outpost of the demon clan's attack on Qingling Island.

It was another war waged by the Blood Demon Island against Qingling Island.

"It's a strange world. Cheng Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In addition to this world, Cheng Li also did some research on his own crossing.

After being settled down 3 days ago, Cheng Li checked his clothes inside and out.

However, he did not carry anything on him except the clothes he was wearing.

But what Cheng Li can be sure of is that he is not a soul crossing.

Rather, the whole person physically traveled into this world, because he did not have any more memories of another person in his head.

The clothes he was wearing were the same T-shirt and jeans he wore that day when he was working overtime, and he was still 25 years old.

This also made Cheng Li breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't want to occupy other people's bodies like many time-traveling novels, and he had to have an extra memory of other people in his head, that feeling was always a little uncomfortable.

It's a good feeling to be yourself now, and it's still yourself.

It's just that in this way, he doesn't have a ready-made identity in this world.

But fortunately, the great elder who liked to ask himself questions and answer himself at that time made a very reasonable statement for Cheng to be a foreigner.

In addition, there are some exotic people who have drifted from other isolated islands due to some "fog disaster" accidents on Qingling Island, although it is rare, but it is not impossible.

This made Cheng Li's amnesia excuse made up at will to be fooled.

"The altar has arrived. ”

A soft voice interrupted Cheng Li's thoughts.

Cheng Li looked up and found a woman in Tsing Yi standing in front of the entrance of the spiritual platform and smiling at herself.

She is the woman in Tsing Yi that Cheng Li saw for the first time after crossing into this world.

"She seems to be called Ye Lin?" Cheng Li thought to himself, this was the first time he had seen this woman in Tsing Yi again in 3 days, and he couldn't help but feel a little intimate.

"What are you still stupid about, hurry up and go to the altar. Ye Lin smiled.

Cheng Li hurriedly nodded yes, and then walked towards the Kailing platform.
