The next day, when the sun was just starting to rise, the entire Cang City became noisy.
Today was the first day of Year 9998 of the Flaming Dragon Calendar. It was the annual Flaming Dragon Festival, the most important festival for humans in the Flaming Dragon Continent.
"Crackle!"
The sound of firecrackers and children's laughter could be heard from outside. The joyous atmosphere of the festival enveloped the entire city. At this moment, the Ye Family Castle, the Castellan's mansion in Cang City, was already bustling with noise and excitement. Countless servants and maids were busy. They were cleaning up and decorating the halls. The entire castle was in a festive mood.
In front of a courtyard in the north of the castle, dozens of young children were already standing. Including the parents who accompanied them, there were probably more than a hundred people. Different from the noise and laughter outside, everyone here looked serious and solemn as they stood quietly outside the courtyard. Even the five to six year old children in the front row stood quietly under the whispers of the adults beside them.
"There are so many people this year …" Ye Qinghan stood quietly at the left corner, while Ye Qingyu stood quietly beside him. The two looked at the dense crowd in front of them silently. That's right, this group of people were all descendants of the Ye Family. They were here for the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony.
For the descendants of the Ye Family who couldn't summon their beasts, the Flaming Dragon Festival was the most important moment in their lives.
That was because the Flame Dragon Festival was the time that the Ye Family would awaken their bloodline once a year for their five, ten, and fifteen year old disciples. Every Ye Family descendant had three chances to awaken their bloodline three times in their lives. From there, they could summon their beasts with the help of the Ancient God's power. Of course, they couldn't awaken their bloodline a second time after awakening.
Beasts! Beasts that were similar to beasts belonged to the Ancient God's deep care and blessing to the Ye Family.
This was because as long as a beast could be summoned, it would basically have strong attack power and special abilities. Even if one was lucky enough to summon a powerful beast, such as the Level Eight Earth Bear of the Ye Family's current leader, Ye Tianlong, one didn't need to cultivate. As long as the beast naturally matured, it would have the attack power of an Emperor.
Thinking about it, a person didn't need to cultivate, as long as he was lucky enough to summon a high level beast during the Blood Awakening Ceremony. You are destined to have an extraordinary life. You are destined to become one of the upper echelons of the Ye Family and an influential figure on the continent.
Power, status, money, beauties … Everything was because of the existence of beasts.
Hu! Hu!
'I must succeed, I must succeed.' Ye Qinghan took a deep breath and stared at the gate of the courtyard, telling himself in his heart. Everyone stared at the door. On the door, there were three words: Warbeast Hall.
Creak!
The door finally opened and four old men walked out.
"Greetings, Elders of the Warbeast Hall."
Everyone bowed and said in unison. Ye Qinghan also bowed and said. He already knew these four people. They were the Elders of the Warbeast Hall. They specialized in helping the younger generation to awaken their bloodline. Ye Qinghan's awakening ceremony when he was five and ten years old were also held by them.
"Dispense with the formalities. Everyone, please come in with us." The four Elders smiled. The one who spoke was the Elder on the left, whose hair and beard were as white as snow.
"Haha, you are all early!"
Just as everyone followed the four Elders and prepared to enter the Warbeast Hall, a loud voice came from afar. Everyone looked towards the direction of the voice and saw a blue figure carrying a five-year-old child flying towards them. In the blink of an eye, they were already above everyone's heads and slowly landed.
Flying in the air, an Emperor Realm!
Ye Qinghan was shocked. Only an Emperor Realm Ranker could fly in the air. However, when he saw the face of the middle-aged man in the blue robe, he only laughed coldly.
"Greetings, City Lord."
Everyone and the three Elders hurriedly bowed and greeted. The white-bearded Elder only smiled and nodded at him. On the other hand, Ye Qinghan and his sister just casually cupped their hands in greeting.
The person who came was the City Lord of Cang City, Ye Qinghan's uncle, Ye Jian. The leader of the Ye Family, Ye Tianlong, had not been involved in the affairs of the world for many years. The position of the City Lord of Cang City had been passed on to his eldest son, Ye Jian. The first branch that Ye Jian represented had always been at odds with the second branch that Ye Qinghan's father belonged to. Not long ago, when Ye Qinghan's mother passed away, it was because of Ye Jian's strong opposition that his mother couldn't enter the family's ancestral grave. Therefore, Ye Qinghan didn't like Ye Jian very much, let alone respect him.
"Haha, greetings, Elder Tian Qing and the three Elders. Everyone, please do as you please. Today, I'm here to awaken my son, Qingfeng. You don't have to worry about me." Ye Jian was tall and majestic. Under his thick eyebrows, his tiger-like eyes shot out cold light. He didn't look angry, but when he casually glanced around, everyone felt as if his gaze could see through people's hearts. No secrets could be hidden in front of him. He looked heroic and domineering, like a formidable person of the generation.
Although he said this, everyone was obviously cautious. Most of the people present were ten-year-olds. There were only a few five- and fifteen-year-olds. To them, the four Elders of the Warbeast Hall were already big shots. As the City Lord of Cang City, Ye Jian, who could fly in the air, was even more superior. His aura alone was enough to make people feel pressured. Although the Ye Family was a big family, there were only a dozen imperial realm experts in the Ye Family who could fly in the air.
On the other hand, Ye Qinghan glanced at his younger cousin, Ye Qingfeng, who was being pulled by Ye Jian. He looked like a tiger, but the arrogance in his eyes and the disdain that leaked out from time to time made Ye Qinghan feel disgusted. As expected! He was just like his brother, Ye Qingkuang, Ye Qingxian, proud and arrogant.
While thinking, they had already stepped into the Warbeast Hall. The Warbeast Hall was the same as before. It was a wide hall with three huge and complicated ancient altars in the center. Rows of seats were arranged neatly in front of the altars. Ye Qinghan looked around and pulled his sister to the left corner to sit down.
"Cough!"
The four elders and Ye Jian sat in a row of seats at the front of the hall. The white-haired, white-bearded Elder Tianqing cupped his hands towards the four of them and walked to the front of the crowd. He first coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, then said with satisfaction, "You're right.
"You are all descendants of the Ye Family. I'm sure you all have a certain understanding of the bloodline awakening ceremony of the Ye Family. I will briefly explain. Later, the three elders will open the altars and carry out the ceremony. You will be divided into three groups and enter one of the altars. Each of you can only stay in the altar for fifteen minutes at most. Remember! When the bloodline awakens, your mind will enter a magical place. Don't panic. It is a summoning space. There is no danger. What you need to do is very simple. You only need to use your family's secret summoning method to summon the beasts, animals, and even moving plants that you can see. Fuse them into your mind and bring them here. This way, you will succeed. "
"One more thing. Don't force yourself. If you force yourself too much, you may be seriously injured or even die from the backlash. Erm, pay attention to the time. Each person only has fifteen minutes. Now, those whose names are called will enter the altar. The first group is Ye Qingfeng, Ye Qingyun, and Ye Xiaohu. "
After Elder Tian Qing finished speaking, he took out a thin piece of paper and began to read the names. When Ye Jian, who was sitting at the head of the table, saw that the elder had arranged for his son to be in the first position, he looked at the elder gratefully. Then, he looked at Ye Qingfeng, who was already standing on the altar, and gave him an encouraging look.
"Let's begin."
Seeing that the three of them were already in place, Elder Tian Qing turned his head to look at the other three elders at the front desk and said lightly. The three elders nodded and each stood beside an altar. They took out a crystal item from their bosoms and raised it in the air.
Suddenly, the crystal emitted a dazzling light. Everyone who was bathed in the light felt a sacred and tranquil aura. Suddenly, the three altars slowly emitted a gentle light, forming a circle of light, wrapping the three altars into three oval circles of light. It was like an egg standing there. On the surface of the halo, there was a ripple-like fluctuation.
"Phew!"
After the halo was formed, the light from the round sticks in the hands of the three elders gradually disappeared. Finally, it became calm again. The three elders were all pale and exhausted, and they slowly walked back to their seats.
"Thank you for your hard work, elders." Ye Jian smiled and expressed his gratitude to the three elders in a low voice.
"I don't dare, this is what I should do." The three elders hurriedly waved their hands and said modestly. In just a moment, the three elders gradually recovered, and their faces slowly became ruddy.
"Lord, I think Qingfeng is born with a strong spiritual aura, he will definitely succeed." An elder glanced at the altar and said with a smile.
"That's right. I think Qingfeng can at least summon a battle beast of Level Six or above. He might even be able to summon a battle beast of Level Seven like his brother, Qingkuang." Another elder hurriedly flattered.
"Hehe, thank you for your kind words, this will depend on his own luck." Lord Ye Jian said with a smile, but his eyes glanced at the altar where Ye Qingfeng was from time to time.
Suddenly, abruptly — —
The altar that Ye Qingfeng was on was undergoing a special change. The white halo on the outside started to turn red, then orange, then yellow, then green, and finally purple. Then, it stopped changing.
"Congratulations Lord, Qingfeng has a high chance of summoning a Level Seven warbeast."
"Lord, your sons are all so talented …"
"Congratulations Lord, congratulations Lord, Young Master Feng's future is limitless …"
For a moment, all kinds of praises and flattery were heard. The hall immediately boiled up. Even the white-bearded Elder Tianqing, who had been silent all this while, smiled and nodded. Ye Jian's face was filled with joy.
The Ye Family's warbeasts were the same as the warriors in the continent. They were divided into nine levels, from Level One to Level Nine. Level Nine was also known as Saint Level. They corresponded to the Warrior Realm, Soldier Realm, Elite Realm, Commander Realm, General Realm, Marshal Realm, Duke Realm, Emperor Realm and Saint Realm in the House of Ares.
As a member of the Ye Family, anyone who knew a little about the Ye Family's Bloodline Awakening Ceremony would know. During the Awakening Ceremony, the halo outside the altar would change into different colors. From low to high, they were red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black and gold.
Most importantly, the higher the color of the halo, the higher the possibility of summoning a higher level warbeast. This was not set by anyone, it was the experience of the Ye Family that had been passed down for thousands of years.
For example, when the Ye Family's current Master, Ye Tianlong, awakened his bloodline, the halo outside turned black, so he was lucky enough to summon a Level Eight warbeast, the Earth Bear. Ye Qinghan's father, Ye Dao, also had a black halo, so he was able to summon a Level Eight warbeast, Draconic Lion. Ye Jian and his eldest son both had a purple halo, so they were able to summon a Level Seven warbeast.
The Ye Family only had a few high-level warbeasts. There were only two Level Eight warbeasts in the family, and only a few Level Seven warbeasts. As for a Level Nine Holy Beast, it had only appeared once in the family's history. That time, when the family's senior awakened his bloodline, the color of the halo was a dazzling golden halo.
Now that a purple halo appeared at the beginning of the Bloodline Awakening Ceremony, it was a good omen, so everyone was extremely excited.
Just as everyone was discussing, the two altars at the side also started to change colors. However, it was obvious that they only changed colors three or four times before stopping. The one in the middle, Ye Qingxian, was yellow, while Ye Xiaohu, who was at the side, was green.
Seeing that their colors no longer changed, everyone fixed their eyes on Ye Qingfeng's altar again. After all, the level of the warbeast summoned by the yellow and green halos would definitely not be too high. However, the purple halo was different, it meant that the probability of summoning a Level Seven warbeast was very high.
Suddenly — —
On the altar that Ye Qingfeng was at, the halo shook for a while, and the purple color gradually dissipated, returning to white. And from within the halo, a thin and small figure carrying a strange animal walked out.
"That is? It's a Level Seven Warbeast, Ash Wolf! "An elder of the Warbeast Hall was the first to shout.
"Wow! It's indeed a Ash Wolf! The family has produced another high-level warbeast! Congratulations! "
Xiu — —
Ye Jian was like a phantom, directly flashing from the front of the hall. He carefully looked at the warbeast in Ye Qingfeng's arms, and immediately smiled like a flower. He lightly patted Ye Qingfeng's head and laughed out loud, "Not bad, Feng-er, you actually summoned a Level Seven warbeast. When we go back, father will reward you well, haha … …"
Immediately, the hall became lively again. Countless people surrounded Ye Qingfeng, they were either curious, flattering, or trying to establish a relationship with him. After all, if Ye Qingfeng could summon a Level Seven warbeast, his position in the family would definitely not be low.
Just as the crowd was surrounding Ye Qingfeng, two people from the two altars beside him walked out. Each of them was carrying an animal cub.
Seeing the two people walk out of the altar, the elder Tian Qing coughed heavily and said indifferently, "Everyone return to your seats. The three of you, each carry your own warbeast and come forward to register."
After a while, the voice of the elder Tian Qing resounded in the hall again, "Ye Qingfeng, Level Seven Warbeast, Ash Wolf. Ye Qingyun, Level Three Warbeast, Shadowmouse, Ye Xiaohu, Level Four Warbeast, Sword Pig. Next group, Ye Xiaoyan, Ye Xun Er, Ye Xiao Mei … … "
