With the voice of the eunuch, the surrounding chatter of the people stopped.

The nobles and their children stopped moving and started bowing in the direction of the voice

"Greetings to the emperor, 

May Your Highness live for thousands of thousands of years."

The emperor came draped in golden yellow, with golden dragons with 5 claws, accompanied by the Empress and the imperial noble consort, Fu. Following behind the chef Eunuch and his attendants.

Who, in turn, were around the emperor's guards.

You may raise my subjects.

The emperor said, raising his hands before taking his seat in front of the grand hall.

"Since everyone is here, let's begin the awakening ceremony."

Hearing the word awakening ceremony, Li Chen was still confused.

What awekening??•_•

Then he saw the state prefect come forward. Holding a crystal shard. With three officials behind him holding similar shards but smaller. 

Those shards were transparent like quartz. But it still looked like quartz with some grains of sand or mud inside it, making it appear beautiful.

"Now, according to our traditions I will introduce the type and grade of spirit roots. So please be quiet and hear about it."

"First, everything in this world has spirit and all have spirit roots to help them cultivate. In the case of our human clan, we also have a spirit soul. Unlike demons, who do not have. So it is the only advantage against them that separates us."

"Today, I will help u awaken your spirit, root and soul. Be known that every being has a spirit root, but only a few have a live spirit root."

"Commoners rarely have spirit root and soul, but us nobles have a long history of cultivators. And as our parents were cultivators, so the chance of us having spirit root is naturally higher."

"but u dont get your hopes high, as we only have a little high chance of having live spirit root." 

"Ok, now eligible children come from the front first and after that come in a line."

As the state preceptor said, the three officials made strange symbols, and the crystal shard started flowing in the air.

As the three small crystals floated, they formed a triangular shape. 

Seeing the triangle formed in front of him, the state preceptor gave a slight nod and the big crystal shard also started floating in the air and went towards the center.

As all the crystals got into their respected position, they started glowing and shaking.

Soon a small circle of strange symbol formation emerged from the rapidly expanding.

As these four formation circles touched each other, they merged and became a new formation.

Looking at this scene all adults were not surprised and if this scene was not so rare. The children were excited, but there was only one person who was shocked.

"OMG, what the f*** Did I just see????"

"Does it mean that I didn't get reincarnated into a traditional world, but got into a cultivation world. Is this for real????"

As he was still in shock, the first child from the official Cheng's family had already reached the formation. 

"Go and stand in the middle of the formation below the core. And don't move here and there."

"I understand State preceptor"

The boy went and stood below the crystal. 

As he stood below it, the crystal shone brightly and a beam of light descended towards him.

 As the light touched the boy, the colour of the crystal changed into a 1/10 part blue, 3/10 part red and 6/10 part green.

After which a pale green snake phantom appeared behind him. 

"Not bad a three element spirit root. And a three leaf snake as a spirit soul. I congratulate Official Cheng on finally having someone to pass the mantle."

"Thankyou State Preceptor Lord, it is a blessing with the grace of his majesty and the heavens."

As the boy watched this, his face was filled with happiness. 

After the boy, other family children also started to awaken their children's spirit root and spirit soul respectively.

Among the awakened spirit roots the most common was five element spirit root with some four spirit root and three element spirit root and some common animal , plant or weapon spirit soul occasionally.

Even a two element fire and wood spirit root appeared which drew a look of envy and jealousy from others.

At last it was finally Li Chen's, as he stood below the spirit awakening crystal, a strange feeling arose from inside his inside.

As the light from the crystal fell on his body, the colour of the crystal stone started changing.

After some time it was filled with 12 different colours equally.

Seeing such a scene, everyone present was shocked.

Such a scene was never seen before.

As the cultivation world had a common widely accepted truth that the highest number of elements in a spirit root was five. That too could only consist of five common elements.

As the crystal was now full of colours, a vibrant green colour started emerging from his body,

Slowly the green light solidified and turned into a bamboo sprout.

Now the air was truly silent.

Such a continuous scene was rarely seen or you could say was never seen before.

"Ahem, Now let us all go for the banquet.

Seeing the awkward situation the state Preceptor announced. 

The emperor and the royal family went first with the novel following behind,

Looking at the expression, Li Chen was already sure that his spirit root and soul were the worst. 

He felt like a fool played by fate. 

One moment he is a favoured child that was reincarnated to his dear world, and next moment a cloud well was poured on him saying that his talent was only ordinary in this world.

Ding.

[Detecting sufficient energy,

System awakening initiated.]

[0%, 1%.....]

As he was about to step down the altar, a system notification voice came.

As he raised his head, a blue system interface appeared in front of him.

Seeing the system inter face, finally his emotion calmed down.

The golden finger of all transmigrators, the powerful system.

Indeed what the great people said that hearing is one thing and experiencing is another was true.

With the arrival of the system, he was confident that he could finally survive in this cruel world.

Seeing as the system had not successfully awakened, he also went to the banquet.

Maybe because the emperor was there or that he was the only son of the general li far away in the border in the capital that none of the novels came to degrade him or mock him.

 They just ignored him.

Li Chen also ignored them, as he was currently celebrating the arrival of his system with the meat in the banquet.

After some time, the imperial banquet finally ended, the nobles and royals returned to their respective manson.

 The royals withdrew in their imperial palace or courtyard and the novels to their mansion.

Li Chen was inside his family carriage, as he poked his head outside and looked at the imperial palace getting farther away from him, his eyes held something different this time.

The hope to be free and taste true freedom in this world of immortals.
