2 Awakening Ceremony
Li Shang woke up early in the morning. Immediately he woke up and opened the window to see the bright sun and lively city. The smell of the beautiful flowers greeted him.
Li Shang Chuckled" Today I will finally waken my aperture and become a Gu master and one step closer for freedom and Immortality".
Li Shang checked how much Primeval stones he had. Li Shang had about 1500 Primeval stones.
The Li clan was naturally wealth they had 2 spirit spring, but the had no Gu Immortals and the clan leader was only Rank 4 upper.
Li Shang Thought" should I visit Qing Mao mountain and see Fang Yuan, no not now I'm to weak ,I'll see him in the future we do have the goal ,To destroy the fate Gu.
"Li Shang come over here" Li Pao shouted.
Li Shang then went to his grandfather room.
"Grandfather what do you need of me" Li Shang said.
"i want you tell me about Gu one last time" Li Pao said.
"Humans are the greatest among thousands of creatures, Gu are the essence of heaven and earth.
Gu comes in thousands of shapes and sizes of strange and mysterious variety – there are too many to count. Some Gu after being used once or even twice or thrice will completely dissipate. And some Gu can be reused again and again as long as it is not used over its limits." Li Shang said In a humble Voice.
"Good my Grandson, lets go to the Clan Pavilion" Li Pao said
Li Shang and his grandfather left the house and went to the Clan Pavilion."
While there Li Shang thought " I can finally start my plan, So I got to be a rank 3 upper to leave this mountain or should i kill them during the Wolf tide, We see."
Over a hundred 15 year-old youths gathered in front of the clan pavilion. The clan pavilion was in the middle of the village, reaching 5 storeys and having sharp tilted roofs; it was heavily guarded. Before the pavilion was the square, and in the pavilion was the shrine of the Li ancestor memorial tablets. Every generation of clan head had lived in the pavilion. With every major ceremony or big incident, the clan elders would gather and discuss meetings here as well. This was the entire village's authority central.
"Good, all of you are punctual. Today is the Awakening Ceremony; it is your life's great turning point. I won't say much, just come with me." The one responsible at the moment was the elder of the academy.
Li Shang and the the other fifteen years old kids went inside the underground cave
The underground cave was beautiful, stalactites sparkling with the colors of the rainbow. This light shone on the youth's faces, the neon hues gorgeous. Li Shang thought "so this is where you awaken your aperture"
It was when they found a spirit spring in this underground cave. This spirit spring produces a large number of primeval stones – It could be said that this was the foundation of the Li village.
Aright, I will call your name, those who are called must walk through the river on the opposite side. Of course the further you walk, the better it is said the elder of the academy.
"Li Xian"
....
"Li Bo"

Both had no talent
Not everyone has the natural talent to be a Gu Master. Generally speaking, it is not bad if five out of ten people have talent. In the Gu Clan, this ratio is higher, reaching six people. That because The Li Ancestor was a Gu immortal, so he had passed down his good bloodline, but the Li Clan were declining every year and considering the Wolf tide in two years for now. The Li clan need manpower. So this awaking was really important to the Li clan
Then the Elder from the academy called out Li Shang
"So its finally my turn to embark my journey of cultivation"
In that moment his surroundings went quiet. Countless numbers of eyes were on him.
Thinking so, he moved forward taking steps in the river
He could feel a layer of pressure on him. This pressure came from the spirit spring deep in the flower sea. The spirit spring produced primeval qi – because the qi was too rich in here, it caused the pressure.
But very quickly from the flowers below Li Shang feet, little lights made their way up. These dots of light enveloped his entire body before finally entering him.
These are the Hope Gu, mused Li Shang. The person in charge did not tell them, but he knew it very clearly. Every spot of light is a Gu, known as the Hope Gu.
So this is Hope Gu
10 steps
....
20 steps
....
30 steps
....
40 steps
...
49 steps
"So this is my limit heh Heavens are really on side A grade talent, too bad I'm going to betray them. I play there little game" Li Shang laughed to himself.
the height of the sea surface was close to full the aperture – it was up to 94%. This was also the very high for a A grade talent. Every drop of seawater was pure primeval essence, representing the condensation of Li Shang's essence, vitality and soul. It was also the accumulation of his life potential over the past 15 years.
This primeval essence is used by Gu Masters to raise Gu. This also means that from now onwards, Li Shang has formally entered the route of a Rank one Gu Master. Since the aperture had opened, no more Hope Gu entered Li Shang body.
Everyone was stupefied
All the boys were Jealous
All the girls wanted to marry Li Shang
All the elders wanted Li Shang as their disciple.
The Elder from the academy took a deep breath and said "A talent Li Shang"
Li Pao seem excited but he knew the clan head is going to take Li Shang as a disciple, 'No I must keep Li Shang I need my faction to be the best in the clan"
The Li clan head said to Li Shang "be my disciple and let me raise to be the next clan leader.
Li Pao was dejected why would Li Shang not be the clan leader disciple. This is such a rare opportunity. Li Pao himself was a rank 3 peak Gu Master
Li Shang heard the clan leader, Li Shang thought this a good opportunity, Their is more benefits, but he doesn't want to be clan Head. "But for now I should worry about my cultivation and the next wolf tide.
Li Shang then bowed and called the clan head "Master"
The clan head smiled "good very good, pack your stuff you going to live in my pavilion by next week and I naturally start teaching you next week too.
Li Pao was very excited for his grandson He knew his position in the clan would increase.
All the the elders were happy for for the clan head, but there were in pain in the inside. All they can do is hope there is some more talented kids.
The academy elder who was in a good mood " Li Luong"
Li Luong was feeling dejected. He was projected to have the highest talent but Li Shang got a A talent, But Li Luong didn't take this to heart. Instead it motivated him to get a higher talent than Li Shang.
10...20.....30.....41
Everybody was shocked.
"What another A talent how clan is going to prosper!!"
" ahaha the heavens are blessings us!!!"
The academy elder was in shock" what two A talents in a row!!"
The clan leader was very excited He then took Li Shang as a disciple.
Li Shang thought" this kid is pretty talented, I should enslave in the future."
Li Shang was naturally thinking about the future and the events that was going to happen. He was not going to be like fang yuan and have no allies. Li Shang was going to enslave talented slaves and people and dispatch them around the 5 continents for them to be Gu Immortal. The Li Clan was only the starting point for him.
There was no More B talent or A, their was only C and D talents.
Under the dark sky
Li Shang was in a good mood, he had thought he would maybe get a B talent and to be the clan's head disciple, was icing on top of the cake.
