People's real lives begin at different times, contrary to their primitive flesh. ———— Stephen King

In front of the octagonal monument.

Overcrowded, gushing.

The Octagonal Monument is located in the center of Stone Town, and every year Stone Town selects eight talented people to come to awaken.

Jiang He avoided the crowd and walked straight towards the octagonal stele, the five stone mats on the octagonal stele had been occupied, he walked quickly to the remaining empty seat, and hurriedly made it.

Seeing Jiang He sitting down, the crowd became noisy again.

The eight women, with broken mouths, are talking about this genius.

"See? The guy who just sat up. ”

"Of course I saw it, this is not Jiang He, a celebrity in Stone Village. ”

"I heard that he is the peak of Lingyuan before he awakens, and he has accumulated this for several years, I don't know how powerful he can be after awakening. ”

In the noise, a gust of incense wind hit, and the crowd followed the fragrance to see a young girl, pacing slowly from the oleander forest, followed by her cousin Liuyu.

This girl is like a proud egret, she raised her head highly, walked towards Jiang He with her slender legs, a blood-red long skirt set off her white and flawless skin, and her cinnabar-dyed red lips opened slightly, looking at Jiang He and said.

"Ruri, please advise. ”

Jiang He raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at the red, dazzling girl, and then replied.

"Jiang He. ”

Liuli bowed slightly to Jiang He, then turned around and sat down with Liuyu on the stone mat.

As soon as the woman appeared, the crowd was in a commotion.

"She is the daughter of the current city lord of Stone City, Liuli, I heard that her mother is a strong person in the Shura realm, and she rarely shows up. And her father had noble blood, and she was born with a knighthood, with her own bounty and land. ”

The man behind her is not simple, he is her cousin, it seems that this year's awakening conference is something to look at. ”

"Ahem, be silent. ”

I saw a middle-aged man over forty years old who was dressed gracefully and luxuriously walked out, rubbed his delicate mustache, and landed on his lips appropriately, he was the city lord of Stone City, Liu Zhiyuan, who had the strong strength to cultivate many realms, enough to make the management of Stone City prosperous, and the people could be said to be obedient to him in every way.

Liu Zhiyuan swept the octagonal tablet at a glance, and saw that all eight people were seated, and then gave instructions before awakening.

"Listen, when you awaken, there will be a feeling that the spirit element is forcibly entering the body, the more abundant the spirit element, the more difficult it is to absorb, and of course the return is greater. In the process of absorbing the elements, you must persevere until all your elements are absorbed. If you don't insist, the spirit yuan will dissipate immediately, and the awakening will fail. If you succeed, with the help of the ancient divine power of the octagonal stele, you can enter the inside of the octagonal stele, and cultivate inside it several times more than usual. Whether or not you can seize this opportunity depends on your creation. ”

Liu Zhiyuan's palm immediately transformed into a jade flute.

"Are you ready, the flute sounds, and the Awakening Ceremony officially begins. ”

Jiang He and his party of eight people looked serious, nodded one after another, and then closed their eyes and waited for their own Lingyuan infusion.

Liu Zhiyuan raised his hand, and the five phoenix Chaoyang flutes fell into front of his mouth.

Qi stacked and scattered, and the fluttering flute sounded. The melodious sound of the flute passed through the crowded crowd and blew into the hearts of the eight people in front of the octagonal monument.

With the sound of the flute, the octagonal stele exudes a strong luster, enveloping the eight people in it.

Jiang He suddenly felt that a powerful coercion was sweeping in, but for him, it was still acceptable, after all, after practicing Jiuxiao Fist for nearly two years, the impact of this punch had a great impact on the body's resistance to pressure.

Gradually, Jiang He adapted to this coercion, and the feeling that Lingyuan entered his body gradually became wonderful, and the crispy and itchy feeling was a bit of enjoyment. Strands of white spirit elements were integrated into his body through the purification and purification of the octagonal tablet, and Jiang He could clearly feel that every inch of his muscles and skin were being strengthened.

In front of the octagonal stele, a young man was unable to withstand the pressure brought by the entry of Lingyuan into his body, and was immediately repelled by the octagonal stele, and the whole person flew out upside down.

Liu Zhiyuan's eyes were quick, and with one arrow step, he caught the boy before he landed, and circled in the air before falling steadily.

"Lu Ming, the awakening failed. ”

When the young man heard this, he lowered his head in frustration and returned to his parents who were waiting for him.

Mu Xiang'er looked at the octagonal stele, the situation inside was shrouded by the spirit of the octagonal stele, and outsiders could not find out, but the worry was beyond words

"Husband, He'er won't be anything, right?"

Jiang Zuoyi grasped the hand that was more than half smaller than himself, although his heart was already turbulent, in order to stabilize his wife's heart, his face was not shocked.

Jiang Zuo looked at Xiang'er very easily.

"I brought it up single-handedly, what is this little scene. ”

Another teenager broke away from the stone bench and flew out.

"Sheep three, the awakening failed. ”

Ryu Zhiyuan looked at the octagonal tablet that had vacated two seats and shook his head.

An hour passed.

The crowd of onlookers did not feel bored because of the passage of time, but became more and more excited and expectant.

"It seems that this year's awakening is hopeful. ”

"That's not it, the daughters of the city lord are among them, and this year we are going to have a big shot in Stone Town. ”

With the sound of the crowd, one after another people were thrown out by the octagonal monument.

Ryu Zhiyuan's announcement kept ringing.

"Aragonite, the awakening failed. ”

"He Hongxuan, the awakening failed. ”

Seeing that half of the people in front of the octagonal monument were missing, Lu Zhiyuan sighed helplessly.

This year's Stone Town will not be able to participate in the city competition again.

Chengbi is a competition organized by the Blue Frost Empire. Each city selects four outstanding young people to participate in the competition, and the winners are said to have unimaginably large prizes.

Of course, Liu Zhiyuan is unwilling to give up this kind of opportunity, but because Stone City can't get enough people every time, it has not participated in the city competition for two times.

"Ahh This is a girl, named Yan Qiaoxiang, after being caught by Lu Zhiyuan, the girl showed a look of remorse.

Damn, if you hold on a little longer, you might be able to do it.

Liu Zhiyuan checked the girl, checked whether the girl had damaged her mind, and made sure that she was safe and sound, and then said regretfully

"It's a pity, it almost worked. ”

Yan Qiaoxiang's face was full of unwillingness, and she rushed out of the crowd in a huff, and left without looking back.

The scorching air, accompanied by the restless crowd, pushed this awakening to a climax.

Only Liuli, Liuyu, and Jiang He are still receiving Lingyuan into their bodies under the octagonal stele.

Ryuyu seemed to be in pain, trembling all over, but still holding on.

Compared to Jiang He and Liuli, they were much calmer, and the two of them seemed to have long been accustomed to this feeling, and they seemed to be trying to absorb more spirit yuan.

Finally, Liuyu couldn't bear it anymore and stopped the infusion of Lingyuan. But unlike those people before, he didn't fly upside down, and the octagonal tablet withdrew the spirit yuan that was covering Liuyu's body, and then Liuyu's whole person appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Ryu Zhiyuan saw Ryu who was still sitting on the stone bench and smiled with satisfaction.

I saw Liuyu stand up, take a step in the air, and landed in front of Liuzhiyuan, waiting for Liuzhiyuan to check.

Ryu Zhiyuan stroked his hand and placed it on top of his head, and a warm gas merged into Ryu's body to check.

Immediately, Ryu Zhiyuan showed a satisfied smile.

"Liuyu, enter the first order of the virtuous realm, and the awakening is successful. ”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Congratulations to Lord Liu, congratulations to the Liujia for filling in a strong man. ”

"Lord Liu's daughter hasn't come out yet, so she guesses it's stronger. ”

The crowd chattered non-stop, and Liu Zhiyuan, whose face was about to laugh, suddenly pretended to be serious

"Okay, it's just a first-order entry to the Sage Realm, don't make a fuss, now that Liu'er is still receiving the Lingyuan infusion, please keep quiet. ”

Looking at Liu Zhiyuan's complacent face, Jiang Zuo pouted

"What's the big deal, my family He'er is still in it, maybe it's several times stronger than your Liu's family. ”

Xiang'er tugged at Jiang Zuo's sleeve.

"Husband, you don't have to say a word, let's wait for He'er to come out. ”

At this moment, the octagonal stele suddenly emitted a strong luster, and everyone's eyes were white. When this light dissipated, the glass and Jiang He in front of the stele were gone.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly explained.

"Don't be angry, everyone, these two must have entered the octagonal tablet and continued to absorb the spirit element. ”

Jiang He suddenly felt that his consciousness was in a trance, and then he came to a strange space, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that he was still sitting on a stone bench, but the surrounding environment was completely different.

The space in front of Jiang He's eyes was divided into two halves, half white and half black, and he was sitting at the junction of light and dark, which seemed to imply to him that life or death was only a matter of thought.

Liuli also felt that he had come to another space in a trance, but unlike Jiang He, the space he was in was extremely open, boundless, and seemed to have no boundaries, and the surroundings were full of spirit energy.

Liuli heard his father mention that there is a wealth of spiritual energy inside the octagonal stele, and cultivating inside it will help improve his cultivation.

Presumably this is the interior of the octagonal monument.

Without a single ink blot, Liuli immediately closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.
