Then Lu Li felt his body being forcibly transformed into a peculiar form, and then transported to a certain world, where he was placed into someone's body in a form that Lu Li could not yet comprehend.
Lu Li's Dreamlands shell, enveloping his Shadow Body, entered a strange space. As soon as Lu Li entered, he saw a snail-like creature baring its fangs and claws at him.
The creature carried a huge shell, its soft, tissue-like body swaying incessantly. It roared angrily at Lu Li, who had invaded its territory. Lu Li's Shadow Body spread like tentacles, entangling the snail monster amidst its terrified cries.
For Lu Li, the snail's hard shell was nothing more than a twist of his shadow tentacles, and thus the snail, whose strength was around B+, became breakfast, completely swallowed by Lu Li's Shadow Body.
Lu Li didn't overlook things like soul consciousness either. After studying them carefully, Lu Li also devoured them. A large amount of information was Extraction from the snail's corpse, and Lu Li gradually understood where he was.
Outside, a huge square was packed with people, a large number of the Ox Family gathered here to watch the ongoing ceremony. In the Heavenly Secrets Continent, strength is the most respected force, or as the saying goes, whoever has the bigger fist rules.
In the Heavenly Secrets Continent, the most convenient way to wield military power is naturally through the so-called awakening of the life soul. Everyone is born with a life soul space, inhabited by a life soul with legendary infinite power.
Those who are related by blood mostly acquire the same kind of life spirit. Thus, people of the same bloodline gather together, form families, develop their power, and seek resources to ensure the development of their families, forming a circle of life.
The Ox Family is one of the top families in the area within a hundred miles of Green Plains Mountain. This entire town is Ox Family territory, and today is the annual time for the Ox Family to awaken their life soul.
Everyone in the world has a soul space and a soul residing in it, but not everyone can awaken their soul. Before the age of sixteen, the soul space is not fully developed. Forcing awakening may cause the soul space to collapse, and then the soul will fall into a deep sleep and never be able to awaken again.
Awakening one's soul requires the awakener to cultivate their physique and willpower. Only when both are strong enough can they be united during the ritual, breaking down the barriers and connecting with the soul within the soul space.
Sixteen years old is the easiest time to awaken one's soul. At this age, the soul space is neither fragile nor solid, not easy to collapse, nor too easy to break through. As long as one's physique and willpower are up to par, one can generally awaken their soul.
As time goes on, the soul space will become increasingly solidified, and eventually, unless a powerful being forcibly opens it, that person will find it absolutely impossible to awaken their soul.
The Ox Family is a large clan that resides in Ox Family Town at the Green Plains Mountain. Every year, the clan holds an awakening ceremony. Those who need to be awakened can sign up. Ox Family who are sixteen years old are exempt from the registration fee, while those who are older than sixteen need to pay a large sum of money.
After all, each awakening ceremony requires a lot of resources. For the sake of the family's continuation, they can offer free awakening ceremonies to boys and girls who are sixteen years old and undergoing the ceremony for the first time. Generally, family members who are over sixteen years old and still want to participate in the awakening ceremony have failed in their previous attempt.
At the edge of the square, a number of young men and women were queuing up. They all looked quite strong and healthy, their expectant eyes fixed on the center of the square, where a bloodline array drawn with the blood of numerous mystical beasts could Excitation one's blood and qi. Next to it was a mystical spirit array made of many crystalline gems, which had the effect of Excitation willpower.
One by one, the young men and women walked to the center of the great formation in order, took the pills provided by their families, and then, with the assistance of the two great formations, united their bodies and wills to form chakra... no, profound energy. They then used the profound energy to open up their soul space and establish a close connection with their souls.
At the same time, it is also necessary to use the power of the life soul to stabilize the newly generated profound energy; otherwise, even if the life soul is successfully awakened, it will lose the opportunity for future advancement due to the instability of the profound energy.
Among the group was a young man, not particularly strong, who was somewhat inconspicuous among the tall men. He covered his head, feeling as if something terrifying had just happened, and involuntarily broke out in a cold sweat.
Beside him, a robust young man seemed to notice the young man's expression and couldn't help but sneer, "Hey, Niu Dingtian, you little rascal, are you scared? Why are you so frightened? If you fail to awaken, I'll laugh at you for the rest of my life."
"This is none of your business. You should worry about yourself being all show and no substance." The boy, known as Niu Dingtian, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. The terrifying feeling had subsided, and he felt a sense of loss, but he quickly dismissed it. The most important thing today was to awaken his life soul. Otherwise, if he failed, his family wouldn't have the resources for him to undergo a second awakening.
The young man who sneered at him was Niu Han, the son of a wealthy family. He and Niu Dingtian had been rivals and friends since childhood, and had fought countless group battles. Niu Han called Niu Dingtian" Little Guy," while Niu Dingtian called Niu Han -Headed."
With another round of cheers from the front, it was finally their turn in the line. Niu Han ripped off his shirt, revealing his strong body, and walked barefoot into the center of the two large formations. He swallowed a pill, feeling the energy and willpower surging within his body, and then condensed them into a single force—the most basic Xuan power—before channeling it into a mysterious space within his body.
After a stalemate, Niu Han, covered in sweat, finally channeled his Xuan power through space and arrived at a certain location. Then, a giant snail with white patterns on its body appeared above Niu Han's head.
"It's actually a high-grade Earth-level life soul: White Steel Snail." The crowd outside immediately erupted in an uproar. Life souls in the Heavenly Secrets Continent are roughly divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Each grade is further divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower. Ordinary people can only awaken the Profound and Yellow grades at most, and even those who reach the Earth grade are all lower grade. A high-grade Earth-level life soul has not appeared in Ox Family Town for a long time.
Niu Han patted his chest happily and walked off the field with a smug expression on his face, looking at the next awakened Niu Dingtian.
Niu Dingtian took a deep breath and walked towards the center of the great formation; the moment to decide his fate had arrived.
