The Heavenly Soul Continent was an ancient and powerful continent. On this continent, the strong reigned supreme, and martial arts flourished. Experts could be worshipped by billions of people and enjoy endless status and cultivation resources. The weak could only live in a corner. Their status was low, their cultivation resources were poor, and their fate was not in their own hands.
Humans in the Heavenly Soul Continent had a Life Spirit in their bodies from the day they were born. Life spirit was the soul of destiny. The soul contained the destiny and cultivation talent given to everyone by the heavens. Among them, those with extraordinary talent could use the Life Spirit in their bodies to cultivate. Through the Life Spirit, they could strengthen their various skills.
On the Heavenly Soul Continent, martial artists who were blessed by the Heavenly Dao and could cultivate their Life Souls were collectively called Soul Masters. After countless years of reproduction, development, and the explorations of generations of predecessors, the cultivation system of the soul master profession was already quite perfect. Spirit masters were the most honorable profession in the world today. Everyone was proud to be a spirit master.
Every Spirit Master would develop in a different direction according to the difference in the Heavenly Fate Spirit they cultivated. Each Life Soul contained a spirit soul. The spirit soul's skills could enhance one's own attributes and bring out greater effects.
There were many types of spirit souls in all shapes and sizes. There were weapons like sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, as well as natural spirit souls like wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. There were also countless animals, plants, and mutated spirit souls.
It was said that powerful soul masters could not only destroy the world with a flip of their hands, but they could also condense ancestral stars in the nine heavenly layers and pass down powerful bloodline life spirits to their descendants.
Ming Empire, Heavenly Fate City, Ping Yang Town. Tianyun City was located in Bohai County on the east side of the Ming Empire. It was close to the coast of the Bohai Sea. There was a river in the middle of the city called the Tianyun Ancient River. It was said that it was used by the founding emperor of the Ming Empire, Jin Hachi, to transport grain when he conquered the sea race in the Bohai Sea. It had a history of more than a thousand years. Tianyun City was built along the river 300 years ago, hence its name. The nine districts of the Tianyun Ancient River meandered, dividing Heavenly Fate City into the east and west. Looking down from the sky, the Heavenly Canal looked like a golden dragon that was entrenched here, absorbing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi between heaven and earth.
In terms of geography, Tianyun City was bordered by the Bohai Sea on the south side, which was often vigilant and resisted the harassment of the Sea Tribe. On the east side, it was bordered by the Great Sparrow Forest, and the people in the city often fought bloody battles with the Meta Beasts in the forest. On the west side, it was bordered by the Sun Moon Empire, which had been at war with the Ming Empire for many years. After hundreds of years, the people of Heavenly Fate City had become valiant, worshiping the strong, and fighting bravely.
Therefore, the annual Life Opening Ceremony here became the most important festival in the hearts of the people. Destiny Awakening was to open one's lifeline. Through the ritual, one could sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao. If one could obtain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao would bestow a ray of light of destiny into the body and open the lifeblood of the human body. Only by opening one's lifeline could one have a chance to become a soul master.
At this moment, in Ping Yang Town's Life Initiation Square, beside a 30-foot-tall altar, an elder in green with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes was hosting the Life Initiation Ceremony.
The surroundings of Destiny Enlightenment Square were packed with people. Countless townspeople were watching the altar in the middle of the square with unblinking anticipation, anticipating the appearance of a new soul master.
In order to nurture Spirit Masters and strengthen the country, the Great Ming Empire opened their own Spirit Academies in every city. The Tianyun Soul Academy was the holy land for all youths to cultivate. Every year, the Tianyun Soul Academy would send people to the various towns in the city to host the life revelation ceremony. Every youth who met the conditions would have the opportunity to enter the Tianyun Soul Academy to cultivate and become a powerful soul master if they could successfully awaken their lifeline.
At this moment, beside the altar, a 15-year-old youth was sitting upright in front of the altar. On the altar, an Immemorial Thunder Dragon was looking up at the sky, flickering between light and darkness.
This youth was called Chu Nan, the only son of the Chu family head of Ping Yang Town. The Immemorial Thunder Dragon displayed on the altar was the projection of Chu Nan's life spirit.
At this moment, there were a few middle-aged men in front of the crowd. One of them was a tiger-eyed middle-aged man who was looking at the young man with concern. He was the young man's father, Chu Tianyang, the head of the Chu Clan in Ping Yang Town.
Beside him, a man with eagle eyes and a goatee said,"Young Master Chu Nan is three months away from turning sixteen. If he still can't activate his destiny successfully this time, I'm afraid…" This person was the clan's Grand Elder, Chu Tianyang's elder brother, Chu Tianqi. There was a hint of disdain in his tone.
"That's right. Everyone knows that Chu Chen, the son of Great Elder Chu Tianqi, successfully initiated his fate three years ago and awakened his three-fate talent. He's really a dragon among people. He was already a ninth stage Spirit Warrior. Three months later, it would be the day of the competition between the younger generation of the clan. They would compete for the outstanding talents of the new generation of the clan through martial arts competitions.”
The one who spoke was another elder, Third Elder Chu Tianyu.
" If Chu Nan loses to Chu Chen, then the position of the young master…" Chu Tianyu deliberately slowed down his tone so that Chu Tianyang could hear him clearly.
"Shut up, I know this! If it's really as you expected, then follow the clan rules.”Chu Tianyang glanced at Chu Nan and replied indifferently. He then continued to pay attention to Chu Nan who was standing in front of the altar.
"Qiming, begin!"
As the azure-robed elder shouted, the entire Destiny Enlightenment Square fell silent.
"Rumble! Rumble!"
A crack appeared in the sky, and a stream of multicolored light quickly descended from the sky like a waterfall.
Chu Nan focused his mind and focused on his dantian. The Immemorial Thunder Dragon spirit soul in his dantian Life Spirit was rapidly absorbing the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi in his dantian.
"Light of Heavenly Mandate, descend!"
The old man in green held a long whip in his hand and guided it skillfully beside the altar. This streak of multicolored light quickly descended and entered Chu Nan's body. At this moment, Chu Nan only felt a ray of light enter his dantian. With a flash of light, Chu Nan instantly felt his entire body warm and comfortable like sunlight entering his body. The white light shone on his dantian and was extremely dazzling.
Chu Tianyang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Chu Nan's Light of Destiny enter his body. As for his clan brothers and elders, Chu Tianqi, Chu Tianyu, and the others, their expressions turned ugly.
"The power of heaven's will has entered your body. Focus your divine sense on your life spirit and let it fuse with the light of heaven's will. Whether or not he could open up his lifeline depended on this move.”
At this moment, Chu Nan did not dare to have any distracting thoughts. He calmly observed the changes in his dantian after fusing with the Light of Heavenly Mandate.
"Eh, strange. When did a pool of blood appear behind my dantian?”
In the past, when he cultivated his inner vision of his dantian, the vital qi in his dantian was like white fog, making it impossible to see the interior of his sea of vital energy. Now, the Light of Heavenly Mandate penetrated the dense fog of Yuan Qi in his dantian and illuminated it. It was very clear that behind his Qi Sea, there was a circular blood pool that was ten times larger than his Qi Sea. The blood pool was filled with fresh blood.
His Soul Consciousness went deep into the blood pool and observed it carefully. In the center of the blood pool, there was a small bright spot. It was bright and dark, emitting a green light. It looked like a seed that had been nurtured in the blood pool.
Chu Nan's life spirit was the powerful Immemorial Thunder Dragon soul, and his spirit soul was the Immemorial Thunder Dragon. Dragon-type Life Spirits were very powerful, but they were extremely rare. If he could become a Spirit Master, he would be able to control the Immemorial Thunder Dragon's abilities. Every soul master with a dragon-type spirit soul, even if it was an earth dragon soul with a trace of dragon-type bloodline, would be fought over by the various large sects and academies.
Chu Tianyang's lips curled into a smile when he saw the gap rapidly closing up. He looked at Chu Nan who was sitting cross-legged in relief.
The human body had nine vital vessels. The more vital vessels one awakened, the stronger one's talent would be. The lowest was one life, and the highest was nine lives.
Golden light kept appearing above the altar.
Finally, a golden light condensed above the altar.
However, the golden light continued to appear and condensed into a second golden light.
Three, four, five.
When five rays of light were condensed, many people gasped.
5-fate talent!
Usually, most of them were 1-fate talents. 2-fate talents were already very rare, and 3-fate talents were generally treated as geniuses. Great Elder Chu Tianqi's son, Chu Chen, had only awakened a three-fate talent, and he would be heavily nurtured by the Tianyunshen Soul Academy.
To be able to awaken a 4-fate or 5-fate talent was already a genius. Since the founding of the Great Ming Dynasty, there had been less than a hundred of them.
The halo didn't stop appearing, and another golden light condensed.
6-fate talent!
However, the golden light was still condensing above. It only stopped when it condensed the seventh halo.
Even the green-robed elder who was hosting the ceremony was pleasantly surprised.
In the entire Great Ming Empire, only the Founding Emperor, Emperor Taizu, had a 7-fate talent.
"Hahaha, the heavens bless our Chu Clan.”Chu Tianyang was so excited that he almost lost control.
Many people in the town shouted excitedly.
Within his dantian, the Immemorial Thunder Dragon that had absorbed the light of destiny and awakened its seven lifeblood was emitting waves of dragon might. Even though the altar only displayed an illusion of the spirit soul in Chu Nan's dantian, one could still see the dragon might emitted by the Immemorial Thunder Dragon.
"A 7-fate talent!"
Even Chu Tianqi, Chu Tianyu, and the other clan elders could not help but marvel at Chu Nan's talent.
After the spirit soul absorbed all of the Light of Destiny, the crack in the sky finally closed.
However, when the Immemorial Thunder Dragon had completely absorbed the light of destiny and the ceremony was about to end, something strange happened!
