Alex heard every conversation and he knew now where he was going: The Prafta Mansion. One of the 9 cultivation Mansions of the Lion Kingdom, which is ranked 5th in the list.
He was now in the Lion Kingdom and the The Prafta Mansion was one of the nice cultivation Mansions in the kingdom.
Soon all the young people reached the Prafta Mansion, which was a huge complex of buildings in the middle of nowhere.
"Welcome to the entry test of the Prafta mansion!" A voice sounded from the entrance of the Mansion.
"All the people under the age of 20 years and with a token can enter the Prafta Mansion, all the others can leave now or die in the intent of crossing the door."
The same voice spoke again and then the doors of the mansion opened and all the young people stormed into it.
Alex waited until everyone crossed the door and then he went too. He was not dumb to squeeze with the others while entering with the first ones. He did not believe that the first ones to cross the doors were treated better than the others.
"I see that someone has a brain in this place, nice to meet you, I am Gabri Sha." A young man who also waited for the crowd to go came to Alex and extended his hands.
Alex extended his hands too and then said: "Yeah, I was curious to see if there were others too. I am Alex."
The young man was not very tall, but not short too. He looked refined, but at the same time looked like a man that liked action. He gave Alex a good impression.
"From where are you Alex? You do not look like someone from here." Gabri said while looking at the clothes of Alex from the earth.
"I am not from this kingdom, I am from a small village in the forests from far away. I am the first one to leave to pursue immortality." Alex said indifferently, he was expecting that someone will ask him this question sooner or later.
"Oh, I did not know that the barbaric villagers could give birth to such a refined man. But it would be better if you do not say that, all the people here do not like the barbaric people. You are lucky that you do not look like the normal barbaric or they would have hunted you down." Gabri said in a very low ton while looking his surroundings and seeing if someone might have heard Alex.
"This is the first time I leave the village and we never had contact with outsiders, I did not know that such hatred existed. I will keep that in mind. And you?"
"I am from the Sha clan in the Cloud city." Gabri looked quite proud to be from the Sha clan while saying it.
They continued chatting and then they reached the main platform in the Prafta Mansion, where everyone was gathered.
"You all are proud kids from big clans or very talented young people, but you all are still mortals and did not cross the door to be a cultivator. But that will change today."
"Bring the Awaking Crystal!"
"This Platform is an awaking altar and with the Awaking Crystal, your cultivation talent will awaken."
"Form groups of 10 people and when I call you, you come to the Altar and you will awaken and your talent will be seen."
An old man began his speech and he did not stop until he made all the disciple uproar, he made everyone excited to awaken his cultivation talent.
"Is the only way to cultivate to make an awaking ceremony?" Alex asked Gabri while hearing the speech.
"Yes, the only way to awaken is to take part in an awaking ceremony of the nine mansions. There are some clans that are as strong as the nine mansions that also have an own awaking altar." Gabri said without thinking too much, then he thought about something and said: "I heard rumors that in some places, the people does not need any ceremony, because the QI is so dense there, that they awaken by itself. But as I said, this are all rumors and I never saw someone with my own eyes."
Alex nodded and then he saw the first group of ten people go up on the altar. He was very curious about how they did it exactly. Back on earth, the people can begin to cultivate at any time they want, but before the evolution of the earth they couldn't. And this place had not so much dense QI in the atmosphere, but it was already a few times compared to the old earth.
He could not compare the new earth with this place, because the amount of QI there was insane and could be measured. Only the techniques and cultivation technology is not advanced and even primitive, so that the people could not use the potential of the earth.
"Wow, I always dreamed of this moment, I will become a cultivator soon!"
"I will practice like a madman and enjoy y life to the fullest!"
All the young people were looking at the first group on the altar and they were all excited. They all waited for this moment since they can think and now the moment has come.
"Go to the middle of the altar and find a spot to seat. Then cross your legs and close your eyes. When the awaking process begins, you cannot give up or you will fail. If you fail, you will never have another chance."
All the people on the altar nodded and then sat and crossed legs. Their expressions then turned severe and they closed their eyes.
"Begin now!" When the voice fell, the awaking stone was activated and then the altar began to shine in a while glow.
