Lu Li and Hunchback Tian looked at each other, utterly confused. What was going on? How come the old man knew his surname was Lu?
Lu Li thought about it and he believed denial was not necessary in this case. He frankly answered, “My name is Lu Li.”
“Buzzing~”
Not only the brown-haired old man, but the four old men next to him also had light coming out of their eyes. The four was so excited that their bodies were shaking.
“Animal tooth pendant, silver dragon mark, a young man surnamed Lu!”
An old man excitedly said to the brown-haired old man, “Leader, can he be the man described on our tablet?”
Apart from the Cyan Phoenix Race Leader and the four old man, the others could not understand. Princess Xi blinked her big eyes and asked, “Grandpa, what are you talking about?”
The brown-haired old man looked at her but did not give her any explanation. He walked over and circled around Lu Li. Then, he stared at the dragon pattern on Lu Li’s back. The old man said with passion, “This is right. If he can activate our Ancestral Tablet, then he will the Saint Lord that we have been waiting for 5000 years.”
“What~”
Cyan Phoenix Race Leader’s words caused a huge sensation outside. Many were looking at Lu Li with passion, and many were showing disbelief in their eyes.
“Grandpa, have you made a mistake?”
Disbelief were obvious in Princess Xi’s eyes. She pouted her mouth and said, “His power is so weak. He cannot even compare with me. How can he be the Saint Lord that we have been waiting for 5000 years?”
“Saint Lord?”
Hunchback Tian’s eyes were wide open. Both him and Lu Li looked at each other, feeling that the matter at hand was ridiculous, funny absurd and.
Even more so, if it were not for the fact that there were nothing rare on them, both of them would be thinking that these old guys were putting on an act, trying to swindle something from them…
Lu Li did not have any fame. Apart from Lu Ling, nobody knew the silver dragon mark on his back. Also, for others, the animal tooth pendant was mundane. Nobody knew it was a rare treasure. But the old man knew. The old man also knew his surname? Lu Li felt like this was an impossible story.
“Xiaoxi, stop talking!”
The brown-haired old man scolded her. Then he said to Lu Li with a smile, “Brother, I am the Leader of the Cyan Phoenix Race, Ye Cha. Can you come with me to our Ancestral Shrine? Please be rest assured, no matter what happens, we will not hurt you.”
“Eh?”
Lu Li and Hunchback Tian looked pleasantly surprised. Did they have such good luck? The words publicly said by a Race Leader must mean something. Even though they did not know whether they could get back to the Thousand-island Lake or not, they were relaxed since they could save their lives.
Lu Li quickly nodded and said, “Okay, I will go with you.”
“Okay, all of you go back now!”
Ye Cha, the Leader of the Cyan Phoenix Race scolded everyone else and invited Lu Li to go with him with a big smile. Lu Li and Hunchback Tian gingerly went to the clan. Ye Cha accompanied Lu Li by his side, while the other four old men and Princess Xi were, to people’s surprise, staying at the back.
“These penthouses are old. They have been waiting for 5000 years? The Cyan Phoenix Race has been living here for thousands of years?”
Lu Li observed the scenes on his way. He found that many penthouses along the road were old, emitting an ancient air. They must have been here at least hundreds, or more than a thousand years, if not ten thousands.
The penthouses looked old but not dilapidated since many were renovated. They all looked clean, neat and tasteful. There were many small trees next to the penthouse. The clan was like one of the elves hidden away in the woods.
The number of penthouses were not big, only a few thousand. So it seemed the population of the Cyan Phoenix Clan was not large either. Maybe there were only 2000 or 3000 of them.
All the people of the Cyan Phoenix were wearing shirts, pants and dresses made of sacks. Apart from their pointy ears, they looked nothing different from the regular human race like Lu Li and Hunchback Tian.
After they walked for the time it took for one incense stick to burn, they arrived at an even older penthouse. Engraved on the outside wall of the penthouse were mysterious patterns. The gates were closed, and the inside felt spooky. Everything about it said mystery.
Ye Cha pushed the gate open and made an inviting gesture. Lu Li was ready to risk everything. He stepped inside, and Ye Cha, the four old men, Princess Xi and Hunchback Tian followed him.
There were not too many things in the Ancestral Shrine, just an empty hall. There were many ancestral tablets there. In their front-left was an stone table. Marks of years passing by were left on it.
“What, this, this…”
Hunchback Tian stared at the words on the tablet, his expressions were as if he had seen ghosts. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen it wrong.
Lu Li looked over with curiosity. He found the characters were different from theirs back at the Northern Desert. All he could understand was a character of “Lu”.
“Um?”
Princess Xi walked over to the stone tablet with curiosity. She was mumbling, “A young man named Lu drops from the sky. He wears mysterious animal tooth pendant on his neck. On his back is a silver dragon mark. He will lead our race to our ancestral ground and restore our glory that we enjoyed 10,000 years ago…”
While she read, Princess Xi’s eyes were wide open. She suddenly turned back and looked at Lu Li. She stared at his animal tooth pendant on his neck, and she even rushed to his back to see. After she stared at Lu Li’s silver dragon mark for a while, she shouted in surprise, “Ah, why is the man described on the ancestral table same as this one here? Grandpa, what is this?”
Hearing Princess Xi’s words, Lu Li’s strong body trembled. He quickly looked at Hunchback Tian and nervously asked, “Hunchback Tian, is it really what it says on the stone tablet?”
Hunchback Tian heavily nodded and replied, “This is written in seal script. What the girl said is what’s written here.”
Ridiculous and funny sh*t.
Lu Li’s eyes were wide open in confusion. If it were not for the fact that Hunchback Tian understood this script, he would think Princess Xi was bullsh*ting…
The stone table was vintage. It was very weathered, so the characters were not easy to tell. Needless to say, the stone table was carved many years ago.
In other words—
Before Lu Li was born, before the birth of his father and his grandpa, the stone tablet already foretold what was going to happen today. It foretold that Lu Li was going to enter the small world, that he had an animal tooth pendant on his neck and a silver dragon mark on his back. It predicted that Lu Li could bring the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race back to their ancestral ground…
Nonsense, crap!
Lu Li shook his head. He rubbed his face to make himself sober. This matter was too preposterous to be true. He was not convinced!
“Do you feel that it’s ridiculous?”
Ye Cha suddenly said. He looked at Lu Li with a smile and explained, “Brother, when you hear my explanation, you will know this is not a story. The thing is not ridiculous.”
Lu Li looked at Ye Cha, so did Hunchback Tian. He also felt the matter absurd. Ye Cha looked at Hunchback Tian and asked him all of a sudden, “Brother, have you heard about the Ten Divine Spells?”
Hunchback Tian frowned. He touched his head and then nodded while saying, “I might have heard about it. I think there is one called the Heaven Fight Spell? But… they should be lost?”
“Right!”
Ye Cha nodded and replied, “Many Divine Spells were lost 10,000 years ago. However, 5000 years ago, one of the forefathers of the Cyan Phoenix Race got half a scroll of the Heaven Augury Spell. It is because of this spell that the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race can seek blessings and avoid danger and escape before disasters come. Otherwise, both of our races would have long been destroyed.”
“Heaven Augury Spell? Heaven Augury Spell!” Hunchback Tian mumbled something as his eyes glowed. He shouted in surprise, “The Ten Divine Spells are not just legends? There is really Heaven Augury Spell in the world?”
“Legend?” Ye Cha mockingly smiled and replied, “How can it be a legend? We have in our bodies the blood from ancestral races. Bloodline Awakening is in fact one of the Divine Spells, and it’s called the Heaven Reverse Spell. If it was not a Divine Spell, why do you think so many humans can awaken Bloodlines and possess imaginary powers?”
Lu Li and Hunchback Tian looked at each other. They seemed to believe it was justified.
Bloodline Awakening was super strong. For example, the Ghost Snakes of Ghost Snake Granny could kill so many people in one move, or the Roaring Flame of Liu Rufeng which could burn people into ashes…
Ye Cha paused for a bit and continued his explanation, “Heaven Augury, Heaven Augury is to foretell something inexplicable, to foretell what is going to happen now based on history and to predict the future. 5000 years ago, six Big Families forged an alliance and attacked us the Cyan Phoenix Race and the Mammoth Race. Our ancestor made an augury beforehand and transferred us to this small world. Otherwise, there would be no more Cyan Phoenix Race and Mammoth Race.”
“This ancestral tablet was left by that ancestor.”
Ye Cha pointed to the stone tablet and said, “Our ancestor only did augury for 10 times. Never did he make a wrong prediction. The ancestral tablet was his last. Brother, your situation, is a perfect match to the inscription… on it!”
