Overlooking the central altar of the Xiahou tribe, amidst a sea of people, in the open and spacious center of the altar, three individuals dressed in the unique dragon totem attire of the Xiahou tribe are standing in a triangular formation.
In the front is an elderly, short and chubby figure with a youthful face and graying hair, who is the High Priestess Ji Ya of the Xiahou tribe. Behind her are two men in their thirties, wearing tall crowns, who are disciples of Ji Ya and also the scribes for this soul-summoning ceremony, responsible for recording the awakening of the souls in this ceremony.
On the north side of the altar, there is a fan-shaped platform, on which sit four people dressed in the unique dragon totem attire of the Xiahou tribe. They are the Xiahou tribe chief, Ji Lie, the elder in charge of punishment, Shao Yan, the elder in charge of passing on skills, Ji Man, and the elder in charge of learning, Shao Xian.
In the center of the altar, three feet in front of Ji Ya, there floats a deep blue stone sphere the size of a child's head, emitting a blue misty aura.
After the solemn sound of the horn had echoed three times, the originally noisy crowd around the altar gradually quieted down, all looking towards Ji Ya on the altar with expressions of anticipation and hope in their eyes.
Ji Ya glanced at the quiet crowd below the altar, then turned and loudly addressed Ji Lie who was seated in the central position on the high platform, "Elder, everything is ready. The soul sacrifice ceremony can begin."
On the high platform, Ji Lie scanned the crowd and lightly waved his left hand, saying, "Let's begin."
Below the altar, hundreds of children of appropriate age for soul sacrifice had already formed a long line. After Ji Lie announced the start of the soul sacrifice ceremony, they eagerly approached the altar one by one to begin the ritual.
From the early morning sunrise in the east to the blazing sun at noon, thirty or so children have completed the soul sacrifice ceremony one after another, but only two have awakened their soul, and the purity of their awakened spirit is extremely low. It can be foreseen that their future achievements in soul cultivation will be limited.
The other dozen or so children, some of them have insufficient power of the spirit and cannot activate the Star Soul Stone, some have activated the Star Soul Stone but fainted halfway due to weak bodies unable to withstand the power of the Star Soul, and some have given up due to the impurity of their soul and the inability to integrate with the Star Soul for a long time until exhaustion, and so on, and so on...!
For all these reasons, ultimately it is because soul summoning is not an easy thing to succeed in.
In the vast Li Yang City, with hundreds of Xiahou, Kunqu, Famfeng and tens of thousands of children of appropriate age participating in the soul summoning ceremony every year, the number of people who can successfully awaken their soul is less than a thousand. Not to mention, even if they successfully awaken their soul, less than one in ten can successfully embark on the path of cultivation. From this, we can glimpse the difficulty of the path of soul cultivation.
On the stands, watching the only two awakened individuals, Ji Lie furrowed his brows, his face filled with seriousness. Sitting on his left and right, Ji Ya, Shao Yan, and others also wore worried expressions.
Letting out a long sigh...! Ji Lie said in a deep voice, "What are your thoughts, everyone...!"
Beside him, Ji Ya and the other three were first stunned, then they all understood the meaning of Ji Lie's words. However, looking at the only two awakened ones in the field, the words that were about to be spoken seemed to be blocked by something. The few people were all silent, and the scene was quiet for a while.
After a while, Shao Yan stretched his waist, found a more comfortable sitting posture, cleared his throat, and spoke in a low voice, "Um...! If there are no awakened souls of six stars or above this year, the gap in strength between my Xiahou tribe and other tribes such as Kunqu, Shengxun, and Famfeng may continue to widen in the next three years..."
When it comes to this, Shao Yan paused for a moment, looked around, and seeing that the others showed no intention of speaking, he continued, "Especially the Famfeng Tribe, their strength has always been much stronger than ours. In recent years, several six-star soul masters have awakened successively, and their expansion has been rapid. Their ambition to swallow our tribe is obvious. In the past two years, Famfeng Tribe has been sending young disciples to provoke us under the guise of martial arts competitions, but in reality, they are probing the strength of our Xiahou tribe. Currently, only a few young disciples like Huolie and Ji Xun in our tribe can contend with them. The situation is really worrying."
After speaking, Shao Yan glanced at the elder Ji Man of the Hall of Transmission of Power, stroked his beard, let out a long sigh, and said no more.
Hall of Transmission of Power Elder Ji Man is a sturdy OId man Shao who looks to be in his early forties. His rough and straight beard shows that he is a straightforward person.
As the youngest elder in the tribe and one of the few Soul Cultivators in the six realms of Star Element Realm within a thousand miles, he is proud. However, in recent years, the Xiahou tribe has been at a disadvantage in repeated battles with the Famfeng Tribe, which has left him feeling quite frustrated.
However, this cannot be blamed on him. It's difficult for a skilled woman to cook without rice. In recent years, there have been too few awakened people in the tribe, and their talents are poor. Even though he is a great soul cultivator in the Star Element Realm, he is powerless.
Feeling the inexplicable gaze from Shao Yan, Ji Man's heart suddenly ignited with anger. She frowned and glanced at Shao Yan, who was pretending to meditate beside her, and loudly declared, "Elder Zhanxing doesn't need to show off his power in front of others and diminish his own prestige. If the Fanfeng Tribe dares to provoke a conflict, I, Ji Man, will risk my life to ensure the safety of the Xiahou Tribe."
Ji Man slapped the back of the chair, straightening his slightly bent waist. He continued, "In addition, Ji Xun has made rapid progress in his cultivation in recent years. Give him another year or two, and he should be able to break through to the Starry Realm. With his strong soul, it will be difficult for the younger generation of several tribes to compete with him."
As he spoke, Ji Man excitedly rubbed his hands together and looked around. Pointing at a chubby person below, he laughed and said, "Look at the spirit of this kid. Haha...! I can't wait to see him crush those little brats from the Famfeng Tribe."
Ji Lie and others followed Ji Man's gaze to the fat man below the stage, all smiling with relief, except Shao Yan, who flashed a barely perceptible sneer in the fat man's direction.
After laughing for a while, Ji Man continued, "Besides, this year's Soul Sacrifice hasn't ended yet, so there's no need to rush to conclusions. Maybe there will be a Nine Star Astrology awakening in the afternoon. In addition, that kid Chen Shiyi is also a major variable. If he can awaken, not to mention just a few six-star destiny souls, even seven stars or eight stars would be of no use... In front of Nine Star Astrology, no matter how many you have, it's all for nothing!"
Upon hearing Ji Man praise his grandson, Ji Ya beside him squinted his eyes and laughed heartily, saying, "Ji Man is right! In recent years, my grandson's progress in cultivation has been truly remarkable. Just give him a little more time! I believe that three years from now, at the Hundred Schools of Thought conference in Li Yang City, he will definitely stand out."
Perhaps influenced by the laughter of Ji Man and Ji Ya, the originally solemn atmosphere in the stands eased slightly. Ji Lie nodded and said, "Hmm...! As Ji Man said, this soul sacrifice is not over yet, and there may still be a chance. Let's wait and see. Who knows, this Chen Shiyi might really bring us some surprises..."
Speaking, several people looked in the direction of Chen Shiyi.
Shao Yan, who had been closing his eyes, opened them slightly, with a flash of killing intent in his eyes.
