Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 1: Crossing the World and Encountering Cattle and Horses

The sun is shining brightly in the sky and it is midsummer.

It was the hottest time of the day at noon, but there was a long queue of people on the street in the center of Yanlin City. They were dressed differently, but all of them looked expectant and excited, as if they were waiting for some big surprise.

Chu Qiuci stood in the queue, but because she arrived late, she fell far behind. Her nose was filled with sweat mixed with the smell of various animals. Even though she had adapted to the environment for more than a month, she almost felt like vomiting. Coupled with the scorching sun that was about to peel her skin, she just wanted to hide under a nearby tree.

"Little Chu, don't move. The immortal master might come out and think we are disrespectful." She was just about to move quietly when a huge bull's head came in front of her. It had a nose bigger than its face and blew two mouthfuls of beef into her face. She immediately felt the strong smell of beef filling her whole body.

Well, this will be marinated.

Seeing the bull head that was two or three times bigger than a human head up close, Chu Qiuci, who wanted to scream at the beginning, can now look back calmly and respond calmly.

"Okay, Uncle Niu."

"You kid, you've told me many times that my surname is Ma, not Niu." Niu Tou corrected.

"Okay Uncle Niuma, no problem Uncle Niuma." She continued to respond obediently.

"..."

Yes, Chu Qiuci traveled through time.

The good news is that it is worn.

Bad news, I've traveled to a monster's lair.

When she opened her eyes and saw the bed surrounded by Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Monsters, she thought she had died. It was not until a few days later that she realized that these people were not monsters, but ordinary residents of this world. The reason they looked like this was entirely because of the awakening of their bloodline.

The people in this world are human-like before they reach adulthood. After adulthood, they can awaken the ancient bloodline in their bodies, and parts of their bodies will also revert to their ancestral form, such as turning into a bull's head, growing scales, etc.

So Chu Qiuci was naturally considered to be a minor. In addition, the nearby border town had just suffered a disaster, so everyone just thought she was a refugee and agreed to let her temporarily live in the dilapidated house in Qingniu Village.

Qiu Ci was scared at first, but after a month, he got used to it.

ㄟ()ㄏ

In just one month, she went from being a person who couldn't stop trembling when she saw the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Monsters to a strong person who could help lift the other person's tail without batting an eyelid even when going to the toilet together.

She evolved and sublimated, and all the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons in the village became handsome. After all, even on Blue Star, who isn't an ox or a horse?
The reason why she was here now was because today was the day of the bloodline awakening that happened once every three years. Early in the morning, Uncle Ma, the village chief of Qingniu Village, brought all the children in the village who had not yet awakened to the Spirit Testing Hall in Yanlin City, and kindly took her with him.

"Sister Xiaoci." Just as I was thinking about this, someone suddenly pulled my sleeve. I turned around and finally saw a normal face.

"Hmm?" Qiu Ci instantly felt that the smell of cattle and horses in his nose had dissipated a little.

"I'm so nervous. What bloodline do you think we'll awaken?" the girl asked, blinking her clear eyes, her face filled with anticipation and nervousness. Bloodlines are most likely inherited from both parents, but there are also special ones.

"I have no idea."

The girl's name was Feng Ting, and she was also from Qingniu Village. Unlike her, Feng Ting was a true orphan, having grown up eating at various homes in the village. She was also another tenant in the shabby house she was temporarily staying in, so it was inevitable that they would take extra care of her. So, over the past month, although she had a good relationship with the other sisters and aunts in the village, her relationship with her was still the best. It was definitely not because the others were too troublesome or anything like that.

o(^｀)o
"The village chief said that everyone in our village is likely to have the bloodline of the Green Ox." The girl's eyes darkened and she sighed, "It would be great if we had spiritual roots. That way, even Green Ox could join the sect."

That's right, spiritual roots. Qiu Ci only found out today that this world actually allows for cultivation. When a bloodline awakens, spiritual roots are also tested. With spiritual roots, one has the opportunity to join a sect and practice.

Who doesn't have some thoughts about cultivating immortals? Qiu Ci naturally has some, but the problem is that she is just an ordinary person.

Bloodline and so on, does the Yanhuang bloodline count?
"Haha, I hope so." She replied casually, but she was actually very happy in her heart.

If I can't awaken anything, won't I be caught and roasted like a monster? After all, this world seems quite feudal, and those who are not of my kind must have different hearts. Thinking about it, there is no good result.

The more I thought about Qiu Ci, the more panicked I became, and I just wanted to run away.

Unfortunately, the village chief Niuma is a good cowherd, especially when he is alone with the children of the village. His bright eyes are like a 360-degree scanning function. Not to mention running away, even moving one step more will be discovered.

On the way to the city, Qiu Ci even used excuses such as foot pain, headache, stomachache, and any pain he could get, wanting to go for a walk, but the result was... he was carried all the way here by the village chief.

Qiu Ci: “…”

(▼_▼)
Just as Qiu Ci was still thinking of various excuses, the door of the Spirit Testing Hall in front finally opened, and immediately a cool air came out from inside the door. The people who were wilted by the sun felt refreshed all over their bodies, and even their spirits were refreshed, as if all the previous fatigue was swept away.

A slender figure walked out slowly from the door. He was not very old and was dressed in a white robe with a bit of an immortal air. He glanced at the people lined up in front of the door and gave instructions in a loud voice.

"Those who are awakened, follow me into the hall. The others will wait here." After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the hall.

The people in line then started to move, walking into the hall one after another.

Uncle Ma, who had been staring at her, pushed her and motioned her to go in.

Qiu Ci gritted his teeth and went in. As soon as he stepped into the hall, the surrounding heat disappeared, as if he were completely isolated from the outside world. Qiu Ci suddenly felt like he had walked into an air-conditioned room. It seemed that the immortal cultivators in this world were quite capable.

She looked around the Lingce Hall. Unlike the ornate tower-like building outside, the inside was just an empty space. Most importantly, there was only one door, the front entrance! There wasn't even a back door. Bad review!

There was a magic circle painted in the center of the hall, which was emitting a faint white light. In the middle of the magic circle was an ancient stone tablet with something faintly written on it, but she was far away, and it might be because of its age that she could not see it clearly.

"Everyone enter the awakening array in order." The young man in white robe didn't waste any words and started awakening for everyone.

The boy at the front of the line was the first to enter the magic circle and looked at the young man in white robe with a nervous expression.

"Place your hand on the Awakening Stone, calm your mind, and feel the power within you." The young man in the white robe reminded him, and then added, "No matter what happens, don't be afraid, and don't remove your hand from the stone tablet until you are fully awakened."

"Okay, Master!" The boy nodded, then raised his hand and pressed it on the stone tablet.
