Chapter 8

Facing this bizarre scene, the surrounding crowd of the witch tribe seemed completely unsurprised, all of them just staring at Fang Luoya and the witch in front of the bonfire.

Fang Luoya, however, felt a sudden surge of a dense, clear aura from the top of his head, the Baihui point, after the witch's words. This aura then continuously impacted his entire body.

"Ah... ah..."

Fang Luoya trembled, emitting a series of low, uncontrollable growls...

A faint grayish aura began to seep out from his pores, gradually spreading throughout his body...

With each impact of these auras, layer after layer of sweat broke out on Fang Luoya's body. After an unknown amount of time, the originally grayish sweat gradually became clearer.

A faint, cool aura slowly rose within his body, gradually spreading and diffusing...

Before long, Fang Luoya's trembling began to subside, the grayish aura in his sweat weakened, and the witch power within him began to form and gradually fill up.

The witch nodded in satisfaction, about to signal the two burly men carrying buckets to come over, when suddenly Fang Luoya let out a loud cry.

The witch was taken aback, looking up to see Fang Luoya's face turn a deep red, and the sweat that had almost stopped began to flow heavily again.

"Hmm?" Seeing this, the witch was also puzzled; he had presided over countless witch initiation ceremonies but had never seen a case like Fang Luoya's, where the initiation seemed to start again after being successfully completed by the ancestral spirit's power.

However, although he had never seen this before, the witch knew it was not necessarily a bad thing...

He could sense that this was not caused by external forces but rather from within Fang Luoya himself...

Fang Luoya, however, felt extremely uncomfortable. The cool aura that had entered his body from the outside had caused a tingling, pleasant yet painful sensation throughout his body...

But this time, the thing in his left chest, which had seemed to have calmed down, suddenly became scorching hot, and a massive heat began to surge through his entire body, causing him extreme pain and discomfort, even making him let out low moans.

The onlookers from the tribe, though they found the situation different from the usual reactions of the tribe's young initiates, did not see any problem.

After all, the tribe's young initiates were usually initiated at the age of fourteen, while this boy was seventeen or eighteen, so some differences seemed normal.

However, the witch's expression gradually became more serious. As the tribe's only witch and the presider of this initiation, he could clearly feel that the ancestral spirit's power from the outside was gradually dissipating.

The only possible cause for Fang Luoya's current state was an anomaly within his body.

It seemed that some powerful force within him had been awakened by the ancestral spirit's power and was now undergoing a second transformation similar to the initiation...

Fang Luoya was feeling extremely uncomfortable. The heat from his heart and the cool aura from outside were colliding within him, creating a sensation of ice and fire, which was unbearably uncomfortable.

"Ah..." Fang Luoya's pale forehead began to bulge with veins, and he let out a series of uncontrollable low growls.

Finally, after a while, the two auras seemed to slowly merge, no longer colliding with each other.

With Fang Luoya's last low growl, the redness on his face gradually faded, but a layer of extremely foul-smelling sweat broke out on his body.

"Alright..." Seeing Fang Luoya gradually return to normal, the witch finally breathed a sigh of relief and gently waved his hand.

Two burly men carrying large buckets walked over and poured the water over Fang Luoya's head, washing away the stench of sweat.

After being doused with water, Fang Luoya's body was still quite hot, and steam rose from his head and body...

But the witch did not stop his actions. He respectfully clasped his hands and bowed to the four directions, then turned to face Fang Luoya, pointed his finger at Fang Luoya's forehead, and stomped his foot, shouting, "In the name of the ancestral spirits of our witch tribe, I grant you the ferocity of the tiger, the power of the bear, the agility of the leopard, and the wisdom of the fox..."

With the witch's shout, Fang Luoya felt four unusual, clear auras rise behind him, converge at the top of his head, and then penetrate his body from top to bottom.

As the cool aura spread throughout his body, an indescribable sense of comfort and joy made Fang Luoya involuntarily raise his head and exhale, dispelling the last bit of heat.

Moreover, he felt full of strength, light-bodied, and incredibly clear-headed.

With Fang Luoya's exhalation, the witch nodded in satisfaction but did not stop.

The most important part was yet to come. He had to awaken Fang Luoya's destiny star while his blood impurities were cleansed by the witch power and his witch power was successfully awakened, making him the purest he could be.

For someone whose destiny star he could not see, he had to awaken the destiny star to determine its location, making him truly belong here.

Looking at Fang Luoya, who was now clean and the faint mist had dissipated, the witch took a deep breath, pointed his fingers like a sword, and shouted, "In the name of the ancestral spirits of our witch tribe, I set the destiny star for the people of our witch tribe!"

"Shout!"

With the witch's stomp and a point at Fang Luoya's forehead, a sudden burst of intense light flashed across the sky...

Everyone's vision turned white, as if they had momentarily lost their sight...

But this feeling was fleeting, and they quickly regained their vision, seeing the scene before them.

The witch's finger was still pointing at Fang Luoya's forehead, but his mouth was wide open, staring at Fang Luoya in shock, as if he had seen something that left him utterly amazed, standing there for a long time without recovering.

At the same time, all the witches within a thousand miles of the Dàyá tribe suddenly looked up at the sky, sensing some unusual movement in the world.

But when they quickly stepped outside, they saw nothing...

In a place ten thousand miles away, in the northwest direction, a few elderly figures with different appearances suddenly opened their eyes, stopped what they were doing, and quickly stepped outside, looking at a certain spot in the sky...

In a tribe much larger than the Dàyá tribe, a towering wooden building, hundreds of feet high, stood tall.

A handsome young man wearing a dark gray robe, with a golden python belt around his waist and a faint red mark on his forehead, stood on the highest floor of the building, looking at an old, thin, and imposing figure with disheveled hair who was walking briskly towards the astrological platform.

Seeing the old man hurriedly look up at the sky, the young man, following closely behind, asked in surprise and respect, "Teacher... What are you looking at?"

The old man did not answer the young man's question but just stared at a certain direction in the sky, his eyes full of shock.

At the same time, his right hand began to move quickly, as if calculating something.

In another place ten thousand miles away, on a very high cliff, a sound of breaking air suddenly arose, and a figure appeared on a previously empty boulder.

This old man, slightly hunched, wearing a short fur coat and holding a cane, looked at the sky with a face full of shock and horror.

In the far east or south, several powerful figures with different attire also looked up at the sky...

In the place where all their gazes met, a bright new star appeared in the sky...

"This is?" The usually calm faces of everyone now showed surprise or shock.

"How can there be a destiny star here? How is this possible? There are no stars in this position!"

"Never seen before... It just appeared there!"

Everyone murmured in shock, then began to calculate with their fingers, and some even sat cross-legged, solemnly taking out some divination grass or ancient coins to perform divination on the spot.

Before long, someone let out a low exclamation...

"This... this..."

"Heavenly destiny... This is actually heavenly destiny... The star of heavenly destiny..."
