A thin mist lingered around the magnificent, towering buildings as they slowly passed by.
The heavy, dark blue sky was gradually blurred and diffused by the golden-red sunlight. The rising sun, like the rosy cheeks of a newborn, slowly pierced through the thick clouds, rose to its highest point, and sprinkled its warm sunlight on the earth. The sky, having shed its dark coat, now revealed a clear, light blue.
Having tidied her appearance early on, Qian Renxue took a few deep breaths while looking at herself in the mirror. Only when the maid knocked on her door and began to urge her did she stand up from the dressing mirror, straighten her back, and walk towards the door.
The maid stepped back and bowed respectfully to Qian Renxue: "Young Master, the Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony will begin in half an hour. Grand Elder, please move to the side hall first."
Qian Renxue slightly raised her chin, deliberately straightening her delicate face, and nodded with feigned seriousness and aloofness: "I understand, let's go now."
The maid nodded and turned to lead the way for Qian Renxue.
Every year, the main hall of the Spirit Hall and other branch halls of the Spirit Hall located throughout the Douluo Continent will provide free Spirit Awakening Ceremony for children who are six years of age or older.
The Martial Soul Awakening Ceremony was originally scheduled to take place in March, the beginning of spring. However, because Qian Renxue was in May, the ceremony was postponed for two months.
The children who awaken their powers at the Spirit Hall each year come from different social classes, including children of royalty and nobility. The Spirit Hall is not an empire, yet it possesses a formidable force capable of rivaling an entire empire.
The Spirit Hall announced that the awakening ceremony would be postponed this year. Even though those nobles or sect disciples had the tools for the Spirit Awakening Ceremony at home, they still wanted to come to the Spirit Hall to awaken their Spirit and test their innate Spirit Power. They didn't dare to utter a single complaint, only grumbling in their hearts behind the scenes.
Qian Yuelong, who has lived a completely isolated life since birth, eating and sleeping like a parasite, is finally being brought out to see the world today.
Because today's main event is the day when her blood-related older sister, the young master of the Spirit Hall, who may ascend to the position of Pope in the future, will lead the entire Spirit Hall. Qian Renxue will turn six and awaken her Spirit.
The spacious and bright main hall features a gilded accent color, with a sacred white-gold as the main tone.
The jade-colored steps, forged from the finest iron, ascend in layers, with the Papal Throne, red with gold trim, standing at the very top, symbolizing the supreme authority of the Spirit Hall.
Although the current Pope Qian Xunji was not in the Spirit Hall and did not come to this scene, everyone who entered the Spirit Hall would bow to the empty papal throne after entering the hall, silently expressing their respect.
Of course, some people went straight to the VIP seats that had been prepared beforehand after entering the hall.
They were not bishops belonging to the Papal Palace, but rather elders from the Hall of Worship, one of the two main halls that make up the Spirit Hall.
Not only do elders not need to be bowed to, but others will also bow to them when they see them.
"Hey? Seventh Brother and Sixth Brother, you two brothers are here pretty early!"
A clear, youthful voice, tinged with a hint of languor, rang out.
The silver-haired youth, who stepped into the main gate of the branch hall against the light and shadow, raised his hand and greeted the other two elders, who were wearing red and gold cloaks and had taken their seats in the VIP seats earlier.
The bright lights inside the hall shone on the boy, making his blurry face clearer.
Her frosty white eyelashes and light brown eyes exuded a sense of languor.
Surprisingly, the boy's left eye was closed, and a layer of blue-white frost had condensed around his left eye socket. From time to time, a few specks of pale blue light would spill out from the slits of his drooping eyelashes, carrying a chilling aura. Wherever it passed, it was as if a snow wind was blowing, giving people a cold feeling of ice and snow passing by.
"Greetings to the Fifth Elder."
Today, the elite knights guarding the gates of the branch hall, holding long spears, knelt on one knee before the white-haired youth, placing their right hand on their left chest in a gesture of the highest respect.
The other cardinal-level Soul Masters in the hall bowed at a standard 90-degree angle, placing their right hand on their left chest in salute.
It's unbelievable that a boy with a delicate and handsome appearance, who is only about 1.6 meters tall, is actually the fifth elder of the Spirit Hall, known as the Light Feather Douluo.
However, the truth is that the handsome young man with long silver hair in front of us has his appearance frozen at the age of a teenager due to the cultivation technique he practices. In reality, he is over ninety years old, which would be considered an ancestor in an ordinary family.
"Fifth brother, you're here pretty early too."
The Sixth Elder, Qianjun Douluo, raised his eyes, looked at the lazy-looking Fifth Elder, Guangling Douluo, and replied with a raised eyebrow.
The seventh enshrined demon-slaying Douluo looked up and greeted the light-feathered Douluo.
Guangling Douluo strolled over to Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo, who were seated in the first row, and sat down in the fifth position. He scanned the hall with his eyes, but did not see the person he wanted to see. He couldn't help but ask his colleague, "Why don't I see the Little Saintess? Didn't Big Brother say that the Little Saintess would be here today?"
As for where the young master Qian Renxue is, one can guess without asking that she has probably been summoned to the side of the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu.
The other children who chose to come to the Martial Soul Hall to awaken their Martial Souls today were placed outside the hall.
It is extremely rare for the Douluo Hall's enshrined monks and the bishops of the Pope's Hall to witness the awakening of a martial spirit. This is the most important reason why those nobles were willing to wait for the awakening date to be delayed.
If their children are chosen by bishops of the Spirit Hall or by esteemed titled Douluo elders, it is a great honor for their entire family. Some families even make their children wait a year until they are seven years old to celebrate this big day!
Of course, ultimately it depends on whether your own child is fortunate enough to have that opportunity.
Qianjun Douluo rolled his eyes at his colleague, "What are you thinking? The little saintess is only three months old. Being taken out so early will only expose her to the cold wind. It's a big deal for an ordinary person to get sick, let alone an infant."
"So it'll be a while before we see her." Guangling Douluo looked regretful. "If it weren't for my brother hiding the child so well, I would have liked to take the little saintess for a spin around."
Thousand-Pound Douluo: "..."
The Demon-Slaying Douluo's eyelids twitched, and he asked in confusion, "You weren't this interested in people when Young Master was still a baby. Why are you like this now?"
Guangling Douluo exclaimed "Ouch!" and leaned back in his chair, resting his left hand on his cheek and his elbow on the armrest of the seat. He smiled and said, "After all, he is a 'God Child,' so who wouldn't be curious?"
This time, Demon-Slaying Douluo did not ask for the reason.
The Spirit Hall has been established for over a thousand years, but this is the first time a "divine child" has descended into the world.
To be honest, it wasn't just Guangling; they were all extremely curious about the hidden "divine child."
