…
So many days had passed, but there was no news from the Frigid Cloud Mountain.
Those who went to ask for instructions from the Chief Patriarch only received an order to be patient.
The depressing atmosphere in the County eased up a bit. However, when the warriors of the Liu Family and the Zhao Family ran into each other, they would still glare at each other angrily, insulting and ridiculing each other. There were several times when a conflict almost broke out.
Lu Li did not know what was going on outside. He slept soundly and got up early in the morning. He saw that Little White was sleeping again. He shook his head helplessly.
The little beast had eaten seven or eight weapons recently. It would sleep after eating and eat again when it woke up. Lu Li left all the abandoned Xuan Artifact there for it to eat and did not mind it.
After breakfast, Lu Li looked at Lu Ling and said, "Sis, I am going to the temple."
"Okay!"
Lu Ling nodded with a smile, "Remember this. Don't panic no matter what happens.
If it is a powerful Bloodline that has been awakened, don't pay attention to any solicitations. Come back first. "
"I will remember!"
Lu Li carried the Heaven Kylin Sword on his back and walked out in strides. After he left the west gate, he took a detour to the south gate. The temple was in the plaza to the south of the south gate.
"Eh?"
At the south gate, he found that the south gate of the Liu Family was wide open. A team of Silver Wolf Escorts gathered here, including Patriarch Hong and Liu Yu.
"Lu Li!"
Patriarch Hong was familiar with Lu Li. He greeted Lu Li with a smile from the distance. Liu Yu looked at Lu Li more kindly now. The rest of the Silver Wolf Escorts nodded to show their respect.
Lu Li cupped his fists with a smile. Patriarch Hong asked with concern, "Where are you going so early in the morning?
It is not peaceful in the County lately. You better not go out of the Family. "
Lu Li thought about it and decided to tell the truth. After today, the Liu Family would value him more. He explained, "Half a month ago, I pushed open the gate of the temple. Today, I am going to try my luck."
"Oh?"
Patriarch Hong and the others looked at Lu Li with new eyes. At least, there was hope for him to awaken his Bloodline if he could push open the gate of the temple.
Bloodline Warriors were the most powerful warriors of the entire Northern Desert. Any warrior who could awaken a high-level Bloodline would be destined to become an overlord and look down upon all heroes as long as he did not die prematurely.
"Wait here!"
Old Hong said, "We will also go to the Divine Temple. This time, eight children from our family pushed open the doors of the Divine Temple. Later on, you will follow us to the Divine Temple."
"Okay!" Lu Li nodded. Following the warriors of the Liu Family would guarantee his safety. There would be no accidents.
After a while, Miss Yi came out riding on her silver wolf with a few children. There were five boys and three girls, and they were led by a few men. Their faces were flushed and they were very excited.
"Lu Li, why are you here?"
When Liu Yi saw Lu Li, she asked. Patriarch Hong explained. Liu Yi's eyes lit up.
Lu Li's physique was so abnormal that he could push open the gate of the temple. Could he really awaken his Bloodline?
"Let's go!"
It was still too early to say anything. In recent years, thousands of people had entered the Divine Temple every year, but not a single one of them had awakened their bloodline. Not even a first-grade or second-grade low-grade bloodline could be awakened.
The group of people slowly walked towards the godly temple. When they got close to the godly temple, Liu Yi and the others' expressions changed. Killing intent rose from their bodies as they glared at a group of people not far away.
"People of the Zhao Family!"
Lu Li glanced over and found a group of warriors in cyan armors. Lu Li's expressions turned cold.
It seemed that some children of the Zhao Family were also going to enter the temple. Among the warriors stood 10 boys. All of them were flushed with excitement.
Not far away, there were some other people, disciples of Big Families. There were more than 40 children in total.
All those who came to awaken their Bloodlines were six years old. Only Lu Li was 15 …
The temple would open the Bloodline Altar on the same day every month. Anyone who could push open the gate of the temple could go in and awaken their Bloodline.
Today, they were here to escort the disciples of the Families to awaken their Bloodlines. Liu Yi and the warriors of the Zhao Family restrained themselves. There was no conflict.
Everyone waited quietly. After an hour, the gate of the temple was finally opened.
"Anyone who can push open the gate of the temple can come in and awaken their Bloodline. But there must be no more than three people accompanying them."
The black-robed old man said coldly. Liu Yi, Patriarch Hong and Liu Yu walked towards the temple with the children. Liu Yi nodded to Lu Li who followed them.
Three warriors from the other Families walked out and led the team into the temple. Everyone behaved themselves after they entered the temple. Nobody dared to act rashly.
Acting rashly in the temple would only bring disaster to one's own Family.
The temple was not big. It was dim inside. Candles were lit on the ancient walls. They entered a spacious hall with a huge altar in the middle.
There were all kinds of mysterious patterns and runes on the altar. They were complicated and abstruse to the extreme. Lu Li was dazzled just by looking at them.
At the moment, there were three men in black robes standing by the altar. They were all covered in black robes. Only half of their skinny faces could be seen.
Nobody dared to say anything after they came in. They all stood on the empty ground to the south of the altar in silence.
After a while, an old man said, "Five at a time. Sit on the altar with your legs crossed and get rid of all distracting thoughts. Don't panic if there are any unusual movements. The Awakening Ceremony will not hurt you."
An old man of the Zhao Family waved his hand. Five children walked into the altar. The children must have been told beforehand. They didn't move around after they entered. They just sat with their legs crossed with their eyes closed.
"Activate the Bloodline Altar."
An old man of the temple shouted in a deep voice. The hands of the three old men lit up with Xuan Energy. The Xuan Energy actually left their bodies and shot into the altar.
"External release of Xuan Energy!
Soul Pond Realm! "
Lu Li was shocked. He didn't know much about cultivation, but it didn't mean that he didn't know that external release of Xuan Energy was a sign of the Soul Pond Realm. There were three powerful warriors of the Soul Pond Realm in this small temple.
The Xuan Wu Realm was the sign of a First-rank Family, the Spirit Sea Realm was the sign of a Second-rank Family, and a warrior of the Soul Pond Realm was the sign of a Third-rank Family.
Families and forces at the Northern Desert had a clear hierarchy. The hierarchy was simple. It was how many powerful warriors the Family had.
A family with three warriors of the Xuan Wu Realm could be a First-rank Family or force. For example, the Di Long Tribe could be a First-rank force.
A family with three warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm could be a Second-rank Family or force, such as the Zhao Family, the Lu Family, and several other Families in the city.
A family with three warriors of the Soul Pond Realm could be a Third-rank Family or force.
There was only one Third-rank Family in the Wu Ling County, the Liu Family. The Liu Family had three powerful warriors of the Soul Pond Realm.
Three warriors of the Fate Wheel Realm could be a Fourth-rank Family.
Three warriors of the Eternal Realm could be a Fifth-rank Royal Family. The three most powerful Families at the Northern Desert were Fifth-rank Royal Families.
"Buzzing ~"
As the three old men of the temple kept pouring out Xuan Energy, the altar suddenly glowed, which attracted Lu Li's attention. He stopped thinking about it and looked at the altar carefully.
Unfortunately …
The altar was getting brighter and brighter. It was so bright that Lu Li could not look at it directly.
Not only him, but Liu Yi and the others also turned their heads around or closed their eyes, waiting for the Awakening Ceremony to end quietly.
The three old men of the temple stopped pouring out Xuan Energy. They closed their eyes and sat with their legs crossed.
Every Awakening Ceremony would take an hour. If someone could awaken his Bloodline, the altar would shake. However … the altar hadn't shaken for many years.
Sure enough …
After an hour, the glow of the altar died down and everything went back to normal.
From the beginning to the end, the altar didn't shake at all. It meant that none of the five people that entered had awakened their Bloodline.
The old man of the Zhao Family looked a bit upset. He waved his hand to let the five children out and then brought the other five into the altar. Then he cupped his fists and said to the three old men of the temple, "Thank you, my lords."
The three old men opened their eyes without saying anything. They just released their Xuan Energy and activated the Bloodline Altar again.
"Buzzing!"
The white glow of the altar was glaring like the sun. Lu Li and the others closed their eyes or turned their heads around again, waiting quietly.
