The cold moon was like a hook, and its radiance was like a dream. Everything was quiet, and it was a peaceful scene that could provoke the poets to sing. However, Gan Ruoxu only felt the coldness of the night, and the coldness enveloped his body. His vision was filled with darkness, as if he saw his own future, and the silver-frost-like brilliance was ice and snow that could freeze his heart and lungs.
The Blessed Nation was one of the top three countries in the world, and they used theurgy as their foundation. They believed that living in heaven and earth, breathing in nature, could be in harmony with heaven. After training, one's spirit could communicate with a deity and receive protection, and obtain power and supernatural powers from the deity or the deity. As one's realm increased, one could even ask the deity to possess the body, and display the power of the deity and the deity.
However, not everyone could successfully cultivate and communicate with the deity. Because of their aptitude or temperament, they could not get a response, and thus became the 'filthy' or 'lost' person in the eyes of the public. They were discriminated against, and because they had no power and supernatural powers, their status was naturally low.
Therefore, the most important turning point in the lives of the people of the Blessed Nation was whether they could sense the existence of a deity or a protector.
Gan Ruoxu's eyes were filled with worry, and his expression was blank and helpless. Tomorrow was the coming-of-age ceremony for sixteen, and it was an important day to sense and communicate with the protector deity for free. If he failed this time, not only would he be put on a different list, he would also be mocked and despised. Moreover, if he wanted to try again in the future, he would have to spend a huge sum of money to hire a celestial official to host the ceremony. Even if his parents worked hard for the rest of their lives, even if he sold his future to the devil, it might not be enough!
The consequences of failure were so terrifying, but when he tried in private, there was no response. According to his classmates, after many years of cultivation, even without the ceremony, there would be some abnormalities due to the subtle sense of connection.
If there was none, Gan Ruoxu knew what it meant.
He looked at Qing Yue in confusion, "A Jade Rabbit Fairy would be fine, I don't mind."
The night was long, and Gan Ruoxu's heart was beating very fast, and he could not calm down at all. When the rooster crowed and his parents woke up, he pursed his lips and returned home.
His mother looked slightly old, and her silver hair was hidden. She looked at him with worry and gentleness, "Xu Er, don't mind it. If you can't sense it, then you can't sense it."
His father sat at the table, smoking a pipe, and said in a low voice, "We have dragged you into this. If you were born in another family, you would definitely have a protector deity."
Both husband and wife had lost their parents, and their lives were rather difficult.
Gan Ruoxu would occasionally have similar thoughts. When he heard his father say it out loud, his face immediately turned red, "What does it have to do with you! I will definitely succeed! "
After saying that, he turned around and ran to the county school. He did not stop along the way, as if he could leave his worries and worries behind.
The county school was already crowded with people. Most of them were busybodies who came to watch, wanting to see which immortal gods would be sensed this year.
"I heard that there's a young man in the capital city who connected with the Black Emperor and obtained the supernatural power of the Black Water. He has become the direct disciple of the National Guard Temple," someone was talking loudly, and Gan Ruoxu subconsciously slowed down his pace.
Communicating with the Black Emperor? He was one of the Five Emperors of the Five Regions, and he was at the top of the Deities Achievement Ranking Chart. Obtaining his protection was like reaching the sky in a single bound.
"Really? To be able to interact with the Zhenwu Great Emperor, wasn't that a Heaven's Favored One that only appeared once every few thousand years? The founding father of the Blessed Nation had just connected with the Master of Purple Myrtle Star, and he had already laid such a great foundation. If he could sense the Black Emperor, wouldn't he be able to turn the world upside down? "someone exclaimed in shock.
The person who first spoke sighed, "In the past few thousand years, the number of Heaven's Favored One who could connect with the Five Emperors of the Five Regions could be counted on one hand. I only remember that the former emperor who revived the Blessed Nation had connected with the Qing Emperor. Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of him, and he died young before he could unify the world."
"The one who is currently plundering the seas seems to have connected with the Five Emperors of the Five Regions. Unfortunately, the government and the temple have sealed it off, so it's hard to know …"
Listening to these things about the connection, Gan Ruoxu was both excited and nervous. When he walked to the front of the county school's high platform, he met a few of his classmates.
"Gan Ruoxu, which class of immortal god do you think you can sense?" the round-faced fatty asked with a smile.
Gan Ruoxu felt irritated for no reason. He just wanted to leave, but one should not hit a smiling person. He could only answer hesitantly, "I hope there's a seventh class, what about you?"
The eighth class was the Gong Xiang Official, the Golden Boy and Jade Maiden. The ninth class was the Heavenly Soldiers, Mountain Gods, and Earth Gods. They did not have specific names, only titles. When connected with them, the power and supernatural powers obtained were very weak, and they were only stronger than the Lost Ones.
The round-faced fatty Wu Ju laughed, "I tried again last night, and I only felt a subtle connection with the stars in the sky. Perhaps it's one of the fifth class Star Officers."
A fifth class Star Officer would definitely have a bright future. He might even be able to take charge of the affairs of a state or a county! Gan Ruoxu was disappointed. Wu Ju was usually lazy and was not comparable to him. Now, he did not even see any hope, but he could chase after a fifth class Star Officer. There was simply no comparison.
"Seventh class?" At this moment, the tall and skinny man beside the fatty Wu Ju suddenly sneered. His eyes were very small, as if he was always squinting, "Gan Ruoxu, I've never heard you mention anything abnormal about your body. How are you going to connect with the seventh class Heavenly General? Heh, what can the sons of two Lost Ones achieve? It's not that you don't want to talk about it, it's that you don't even have one, right? "
Gan Ruoxu suddenly felt hot blood rushing to his brain, as if his pants were being pulled off. He blurted out,
"Xue Lian, you're talking nonsense!"
His voice was loud and echoed around, attracting many gazes. There were young girls from the same school, and there were elders who were watching. Gan Ruoxu was embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Nonsense?" Xue Lian sneered, "I can most likely connect with a Celestial Master of the sixth class. I'd like to see which one you can connect with later. If you can't, don't blame me for making you kneel down and apologize!"
"Hmph!" Gan Ruoxu suddenly felt guilty and did not answer. He snorted coldly and walked away. He was getting more and more anxious.
After a while, the county magistrate and the presiding Daoist of the county school arrived together. The scene suddenly became quiet.
"Selecting materials for the country, please pay your respects to the deities. The yellow sky is above, and the earth is the witness …" The county magistrate and the presiding Daoist each took out three sticks of incense and prayed sincerely. Then, they carefully took out a scroll of calligraphy from the jade box. It was made of light silk and shone with silver light.
When the painting was unfolded, it was three feet tall. It was engraved with the names of different deities and emitted different auras. It was the Chart of Deities' Achievement Ranking. Standing in front of it and sensing for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, if a deity was willing to pay attention to it, there would be a corresponding name. It emitted golden light and fell into the mud ball.
The Deity Achievement Ranking Chart was hung respectfully on the wooden board of the high platform. The content was completely displayed in front of Gan Ruoxu and the others.
The highest class consisted of the Three Pristine Daoist Masters. They were the Heavenly Lord Lingbao, the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, and the Heavenly Lord Dao De.
The second class consisted of the Five Emperors of Five Directions and a few Heavenly Lords of Taoism. In the middle was the Xuantian Emperor, on the left were the Qing Emperor, the Golden Emperor, and the Heavenly Lord Duobao. On the right were the Black Emperor, the Fire Emperor, and the Great Deity Zhen Yuan.
The third class included the ancient God of Thunder, the Fairy of the Nine Heavens, the Master of Purple Star, the Lady Mother of the Chariot, the Heavenly Lord Guangcheng, and the Erlang Immortal.
The fourth tier consisted of the Big Dipper, the South Dipper, the 28 Mansions, the True Lords of the Thunder Sect, the Fire Sect, and the Dou Sect, as well as many legendary True Immortals.
The fifth group consisted of the other Star Officials, the Emperors of the various seas, the various generals, and the four Heavenly Masters.
The sixth rank consisted of the remaining Heavenly Masters, Dukes, and Immortal Uncles.
After this grade, there were no more taboo names and immortals, but only corresponding priesthood names. For example, the seventh grade was the Liujia Heavenly General. Generally speaking, the so-called good aptitude and bright future referred to the fifth and sixth grades. The seventh grade was considered normal. If one could communicate with the fourth grade immortals, he would immediately cause a sensation in the state and county, and his name would be sent to the desk of the emperor and the abbey dean of the National Guard Temple. As for the third grade, it was really hard to come by. Every one who could communicate with them was the God's Favored One who stirred up the situation, and in the future, he would be an important tool of the country.
The second grade only appeared once every few thousand years, while the first grade was only listed as a form of respect. No one had ever succeeded in communicating with them.
After a series of formalities, the coming-of-age ceremony officially began. Gan Ruoxu looked at his peers, both familiar and unfamiliar, walking up the high platform. He closed his eyes and sensed. Most of them had succeeded, but almost all of them were the eighth and ninth grades. Only a few of them could communicate with the seventh grade immortals. The scene was calm. Similarly, there were a few who could not communicate with them. They either cried on the spot, or broke down and fled. This made Gan Ruoxu feel the same way, and he became more and more nervous.
At this moment, the round-faced little fatty Wu Ju walked up, closed his eyes, and sensed quietly.
After a few breaths, a deity's name on the Deity Achievement Ranking Chart shone with golden light and appeared. It was Marshal Tian Peng.
"Marshal Tian Peng?" Gan Ruoxu was envious. This was a powerful fifth grade immortal, and it was said that he was the leader of the Milky Way's hundred thousand navy. Wu Ju was really lucky, and his future was bright!
The county magistrate stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "Not bad, not bad."
The county finally had a fifth grade immortal, and this time it would not be impossible to report.
Wu Ju's body was bathed in golden light, and he was overjoyed. He rushed down and accepted the praises from his peers and elders. Then, Xue Lian also walked up and stood in front of the Achievement Ranking Chart. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind.
After half a cup of tea's time, the chart finally emitted golden light. It was the seventh grade Six Armor Heavenly General.
Xue Lian could not hide his disappointment, and he was annoyed and angry. When he walked down the platform, he saw Gan Ruoxu who was about to go up. He snorted, "Even the seventh grade is better than you, because you won't even have one!"
Gan Ruoxu's heart was beating like a drum, and he was not in the mood to talk to him. He climbed up the high platform and walked towards the Achievement Ranking Chart. He staggered and almost fell, which made people laugh.
He closed his eyes, and his vision was filled with darkness. It was as if he had fallen into despair that he could never get out of. He tried his best to sense the different deities' breaths on the chart, and made contact with them.
However, the seventh grade immortal did not respond.
Gan Ruoxu was disappointed, and he could only continue to sense, trying the eighth and ninth grade immortals one by one.
Time passed quickly, and he found that he still could not sense anything. He was anxious and panicked, and cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
"It's almost a cup of tea's time, and he still hasn't responded. I'm afraid he's lost."
"He's exactly the same as the previous few."
"Heh, I wonder if he will cry, or break down and escape?"
As the words entered his ears, Gan Ruoxu felt like he was going crazy. He could already imagine Xue Lian's mockery and apology later on.
At this moment, he suddenly felt warmth in his heart, as if there was sunlight shining through the darkness.
This is? Gan Ruoxu followed the direction of the sunlight, and suddenly found that there was light in front of him, as if he had already opened his eyes.
The Deity Achievement Ranking Chart was completely lit up, and there was a dim light floating on it. There were golden lotuses around it, and a holy majestic breath was poured into one of the names.
There, there's a reaction! Gan Ruoxu was ecstatic.
The name shone with golden light, and was highlighted. Gan Ruoxu finally "saw" it clearly, and that was:
Heavenly Lord Yuanshi!
Heavenly Lord Yuanshi? Gan Ruoxu was stunned, and his joy was completely swallowed by shock. He suspected that he had already fainted, and that it was just a dream.
"Heavenly Lord Yuanshi!" On the high platform, the magistrate and the host exclaimed in shock, and their eyes almost popped out. The surroundings were quiet, like a dead city.
There was actually someone who could sense the Three Pristines!
This was something that had never happened before!
