Time annihilates all things, time creates all things.
It's spring again, the second day of the second month, the awakening of the dragon! All things come back to life!
On this day, Dragon's Horns leads the stars across the Nine Realms.
It is also the day of the annual "Soul Sacrifice" of the Xiahou tribe.
In the family tradition, on the second day of the second month every year, when the Dragon's Horns pass through the Nine Realms, children of six, nine, and twelve years old in the family must participate in the "Soul Sacrifice" ceremony to awaken their own "life soul."
In the world, every person is born with a soul.
In the Starry Realm, stars also have their own star souls.
The human body has three souls: the "heavenly soul," the "Earth soul," and the "human soul," which respectively correspond to the soul's cultivation of prenatal radiance, clarity, and the fundamental essence of the ethereal realm.
The human soul has seven aspects: "Chong, Hui, Ying, Shu, Qi, Jing, Li," which respectively correspond to the soul's cultivation star spirit, star origin, star god, Starry Realm, star pulse, star courage, and star body, which depend on the seven realms of existence.
During the ancient primitive era, the "human soul" was originally dormant in the middle of the human forehead, communicating with the soul of heaven and earth and the seven souls, awakening human wisdom, and making it not valued by humans.
Tens of thousands of years ago, an ancestral figure of the human race accidentally discovered that by stimulating the power of their pure soul, they could sense and draw in a vast Starry Realm that resonated with their own "human soul," thus awakening and strengthening their "life soul."
From then on, the "life soul" became the foundation of the human race's existence in the world.
Since then, the various tribes of the six realms have regularly held soul sacrifice ceremonies in the hope of awakening the power of the tribe by satisfying the requirements of the soul sacrifice and awakening the children's souls.
In the world, it's hard to have both, although the human race has mastered the method of awakening the soul, due to individual physical conditions and the unpredictable nature of the soul awakening process, only a very small number of people can successfully awaken their souls and become soul cultivators. Naturally, soul cultivators have become an existence that people can hope for but cannot reach.
Southwest Wilderness, in the Xuanwu Empire, in the city of Li Yang, between two mountains that are several hundred feet high and extend for several hundred miles, a river about ten yards wide winds its way from west to east. In the middle of the river, three stone bridges about five yards wide span the water, connecting the vast lands on both sides occupied by the Xiahou tribe.
In the early morning, as the sun rose in the east, the central area of the Xiahou tribe was surrounded by a large crowd of people around the expansive altar. The crowd consisted of young children of appropriate age for the soul sacrifice, as well as relatives and friends who had come to accompany them. The space around the altar was packed, leaving only a central area about a dozen yards in diameter and about a dozen feet high, where the empty altar stood, waiting to witness the birth of the next miracle.
When Chen Shiyi and the chubby person arrived at the altar, all they could see was a sea of heads!
The chubby guy was determined to find a high vantage point to look for pretty girls. He dragged his disheartened friend Chen Shiyi around the outskirts of the crowd, circling three times, but they didn't find any pretty girls' positions. Instead, they ended up exhausted and sweaty. Unable to resist the chubby guy's persuasion, they circled the crowd again, but Chen Shiyi ended up sitting on the ground, exhausted, accusing the chubby guy of being too focused on finding pretty girls and neglecting their friendship.
Saying this, he lifted the hem of his coat and fanned it back and forth, trying to cool himself down a bit.
Beside him, the chubby guy, also sweating profusely, looked around with a determined expression, thinking about how to get Chen Shiyi to accompany him for another stroll. After all, appreciating beautiful girls is less enjoyable without a good buddy to share the fun.
Chen Shiyi ！Chen Shiyi...！
Fatty...!
Over here...!
The fat guy was thinking about how to get Chen Shiyi to spin with him again, when a clear voice of a little girl came from the crowd near the altar.
Following the sound, in the crowd near the altar, a slender, dark-skinned little girl was smiling, waving her hands vigorously, and jumping towards Chen Shiyi and the fat guy, beckoning them.
Chen Shiyi and the chubby person looked over, and the little girl excitedly called out, "Over here...! Come over here...! There's a seat over here." Chen Shiyi looked at the dark-skinned little girl jumping and waving at him, smiled knowingly, and got up, waving at the little girl, saying, " Xiao Yu, be careful, don't fall," and walked towards where the little girl was.
Fatty cleared the way, and the two squeezed through the crowd to reach a girl named Xiao Yu. Chen Shiyi first affectionately patted the girl's head, then said to a slovenly old man standing next to the little girl, "Old man, how come you have the leisure to come out today? You've always looked down on this kind of soul-worshiping thing, haven't you!"
The slovenly old man hunched over, hands behind his back, squinted at Chen Shiyi and grunted, "You don't understand a thing. It's not that I look down on soul-worshiping, I just specifically look down on the soul-worshiping in this little broken place of yours. What kind of nonsense is it! It's been five or six years, and every year we can only awaken a few insignificant talents! And for how many years, not even a Nine Star Astrology has appeared. Tsk~~~! It's really embarrassing!"
When it comes to excitement, the old man couldn't help but show a hint of emotion and continued, "And besides, the reason I didn't come in the past two years was because our family's Ziyu didn't participate. This year, our Ziyu just turned nine, and his body is almost strong enough to participate in the soul ceremony. How could I not come? Sigh...! As for you, young man, you have a natural tough and resilient body, with outstanding physical cultivation aptitude. Why do you insist on pursuing the path of soul cultivation? Failing once or twice is not enough for you, you have to try again. What's the matter, are you determined to bring about your own demise?"
Listening to the old man's rambling, Chen Shiyi grinned and dismissed it, "Old man, the glory of physical cultivation was lost tens of thousands of years ago. You really don't understand anything. The Great Priest has said that I am a once-in-a-millennium Nine Star Astrology. As long as I can awaken, the future is bright. Just watch and see."
Chen Shiyi spoke enthusiastically, but slovenly old man still had a dismissive look on his face.
Seeing the old man's continued dismissive expression towards soul cultivation, Chen Shiyi continued: "Let me put it this way! Elder Ji Man knows, the sixth-level soul, now that I have reached the sixth realm of soul cultivation, the Star Element Realm, within a radius of a thousand miles, there are more than ten tribes that cannot rival me. As long as I can awaken the Nine Star Astrology, my future achievements will definitely surpass the sixth realm. By then, walking horizontally within a radius of a thousand miles will be a breeze. Hmph...! Body cultivation? Forget about it...! I've never seen anyone my age who can fight."
I saw the old man still looking the same, Chen Shiyi said, "The most powerful body cultivator in our small town is Fatty's father. His strength is naturally several times greater than that of an ordinary person, but after so many years, he is still stuck at the third stage of body cultivation, the Refining Organs stage. His combat power is far inferior to Elder Ji Man of the same age. Even when sparring with Fatty, he can barely hold his own. The other day, I saw Uncle Ji struggling to feed Fatty moves, and that's without Fatty even using his innate soul technique! Not to mention the lack of the Star Soul power's blessing, the slow cultivation speed of body cultivation, the difficulty of breaking through stages, and other problems. In short, I still think that soul cultivation is more powerful."
Excited, Chen Shiyi couldn't help but laugh and shout, "I will definitely become a soul cultivator...!"
The people around him cast countless disdainful glances at him.
Looking at the slovenly old man, listening to Chen Shiyi's incessant chatter, and seeing the expression on Chen Shiyi's face as if saliva would flow out when he mentioned soul cultivation, the old man's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head weakly, sighing softly, murmuring, "After all, he has never seen the magnificent scenery above the clouds, so he naturally wouldn't know how brilliant it is. After all, it has declined, it has declined..."
The old man's voice was very low, so low...! It was so low that it was scattered by the wind.
In the end, no one heard how magnificent the scenery above the clouds really was, or how brilliant it truly was!
