94: Chapter 94 Spiritual Root

This is the first time since you started simulating that you have felt this sense of being crushed, a feeling that your fate is no longer in your own hands.

To tell the truth, you hate it. Mu Xue grabs your hand, and you hold the kitten's paw tightly.

You do not know what those figures in the sky are saying; they do not ask you anything. One moment they are cursing loudly, and the next they are laughing.

Before long, a few more people fly over, and they appear to be at the Peak of Body Integration as well.

Finally, two old men descend from the sky. These people stop their actions and shout to the two old men, "Greetings, Great Emperor."

Venerable Li Kun shouts from the side, "It is a Great Emperor, a Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor."

Undergoing Tribulation is one Realm higher than Body Integration. Those at Body Integration are called Venerables, while those at Undergoing Tribulation are titled Great Emperors.

However, these are just titles given by others. If one were surrounded by Mortals, a Grandmaster could call themselves the 'Supreme Daluo Heavenly Immortal, Purple Pole Longevity Holy Wisdom Shining Spirit Unified Three Origins Witnessing Jade Void General Manager of Five Thunders Great Immortal Master, Xuandu Realm Longevity Emperor,' and no one would dare to say anything.

The two Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperors in the sky discuss the future of your Sacred Realm in a few words. These two Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperors seem to be from the Sword Sect, because only the Body Integration Cultivator from the Sword Sect is holding his head high at this moment, while the other previously arrogant Body Integration Cultivators are keeping their heads down like grandsons on the side.

Alright, more auras are arriving; it is endless. You wonder if a Mahayana Cultivator will come over later.

Finally, after various discussions, the twelve Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperors decide that this Sacred Realm will ultimately belong to the Wanbao Pavilion.

Eight of the Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperors seem to be from Wanbao Pavilion.

"Are you the natives of this Inner World?" A Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor descends from the clouds and looks down at you from a high position.

His beard and hair are half-white, his face is gaunt, and he wears a plain robe without any patterns. There is no external aura around him, but just standing there, he makes everyone in the Sacred Realm unable to breathe.

"Reporting to the Great Emperor, it is them." Venerable Li Kun hurriedly steps forward, "Although this Inner World lacks Spiritual Qi, it still has peerless Prodigies—"

Before Venerable Li Kun can finish his sentence, the Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor snorts coldly, "Do you think I cannot tell, that I need you, an ant, to explain?"

Venerable Li Kun is immediately drenched in cold sweat and retreats several steps, his voice cracking, "I dare not, I dare not. It is this lowly one who spoke too much."

The Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor snorts coldly, looks at you, and speaks slowly.

"The spiritual power is thin, the Legacy is severed, and there are not even a few decent Magic Treasures. It is strange that such a place even has Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators." As he speaks, the Great Emperor's gaze falls on you, and he nods repeatedly.

He looks up and says, "Presumably, you already know that from today on, this place will belong to our Wanbao Pavilion. Of course, our Wanbao Pavilion is not an unreasonable place."

He raises his hand, and a Body Integration Cultivator behind him immediately presents an ancient bronze compass, its surface covered with dense runes.

He says, "In the path of Cultivating, what is valued most is the Spiritual Root. Since you have been able to Cultivate to such a Realm in this place, you must have some Spiritual Roots, more or less."

"Spiritual Roots are divided into grades, from high to low: Heavenly Spiritual Root, Earthly Spiritual Root, Profound Spiritual Root, and Yellow Spiritual Root. Below these four are Mixed Spiritual Roots."

"Each type can also be divided from high to low into Top Grade, High Grade, Medium Grade, and Low Grade."

"A person's Spiritual Root can draw upon the Spiritual Qi of the corresponding attribute. The purer the Spiritual Root, the faster the speed of Cultivating, and the higher the upper limit of the Realm one can touch in the future."

The Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor pauses and adds, "There are six top Sects in the Tianheng Continent, namely the Four Emperor Sects, Tianji Pavilion, and our Wanbao Pavilion."

The Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor waves his hand, and the compass flies into his hand, "This Spirit-Testing Compass is the first step for you to enter the Tianheng Continent. Later, you will take turns coming forward to test your Spiritual Roots. Those with outstanding Aptitude can be selected and admitted by the various Sects."

"Of course, if you do not reach the level to enter our top Sects, it does not matter. All the remaining people can enter our Wanbao Pavilion as slaves."

"Do not think that being a slave for our Wanbao Pavilion is mistreating you. As long as you are loyal to the Wanbao Pavilion, the resources for your daily Cultivating will only be slightly worse than those of the Disciples of these top Sects." It is unclear whether this Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor is being sarcastic or serious as he says, "You should know that many people on the continent want to be slaves of our Wanbao Pavilion but do not have the Opportunity."

"Of course! I also know that some of you like freedom. If you do not wish to join a Sect, you may leave on your own. There is a teleportation array outside that will send you to the nearest Human Race city. The path ahead is your Opportunity, and it is also your destiny." As he says this, he tosses the compass into the air.

"Fortunately, it is I who came this time, which is why I am telling you so much. If it were someone else, they might have let you ants fend for yourselves long ago."

You watch the compass land, and people around immediately run over to test their Spiritual Roots.

Although this Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor says you can leave on your own, it seems you must test your Spiritual Roots. It sounds nice, but if a Heavenly Spiritual Root appears later, if they do not join a Sect to save their life, it is likely that 'this child must not be kept alive.'

The first person to go up and test is a Martial Saint, who has a Medium Grade Earthly Spiritual Root. The requirement to become a Disciple of these top Sects is to reach at least a Low Grade Earthly Spiritual Root.

In the end, this Martial Saint chooses the Sword Sect.

You and Mu Xue do not rush to the front, but instead line up at the very back.

Basically, martial arts talent is also linked to Spiritual Roots. Although you and Mu Xue have not tested, you think you should both be Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

Just as you think this, the compass in front emits a strong light.

"Medium Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root!" A Tribulation Transcendence powerhouse descends, "And it is a Fire attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root! Hahahaha, it looks like I've found a treasure this time. Kid, are you willing to take me as your Master?"

You look forward; it is Chen Tianxiao.

He actually came too. The Sacred Realm sent notifications to the powerhouses in the martial arts world who are at the Innate Realm or above. However, some Transcendent Realm experts heard the news and rushed over, and no one stopped them. At this time, Chen Tianxiao is at the Early Stage of the Transcendent Realm.

Two Heavenly Spiritual Roots have appeared: one is Chen Tianxiao, and the other is Marshal Ye. Moreover, Marshal Ye is only a Low Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root.

No Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor descends to take Marshal Ye as a Disciple, possibly because they think he is too old. In the end, Marshal Ye joins the Wanbao Pavilion.

Marshal Ye actually wanted to leave at the beginning to explore the Tianheng Continent on his own, but a Body Integration powerhouse from the Wanbao Pavilion stopped him, with implied threats in his words. Marshal Ye had no choice and had to join the Wanbao Pavilion in the end.

You and Mu Xue are lined up at the very back. The people in front have all finished testing, and everyone around is looking at the two of you.

Chen Tianxiao is also watching from beside his Great Emperor Master, and some Great Emperors around have even descended.

They seem to have heard that the talent of you two is not inferior to Chen Tianxiao's, and they are already prepared to take you two as Disciples.

Mu Xue puts her hand on the compass, and suddenly the compass emits a light even more dazzling than the one Chen Tianxiao just produced.

The Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor of the Sword Sect immediately exclaims, "A Sword attribute Spiritual Root, a Saint Grade Heavenly Sword Spiritual Root!"

Spiritual Roots below the Heavenly Spiritual Root level indeed only have the Top Grade as the highest level, but for the Heavenly Spiritual Root, there is an even more monstrous Saint Grade above the Top Grade.

Before he finishes speaking, the entire Sacred Realm begins to tremble. Countless Flying Swords fly out of their scabbards and hover in mid-air, their tips all pointing towards Mu Xue, trembling slightly as if in worship. Ten thousand swords resonate together, and the sound of sword humming merges into one.

Even the swords in the hands of some Sword Cultivators at the Body Integration Realm in the sky are trembling slightly.

"Everyone, this Disciple belongs to my Sword Sect. Do you have any objections?" The Great Emperor of the Sword Sect steps forward, his long sword unsheathed, and he even assumes a fighting stance.

The other Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperors speak one after another, "Ouyang kid, although this little girl has a Sword attribute Spiritual Root, which Sect she joins specifically should depend on her own will, shouldn't it?"

A Great Emperor from the Wanbao Pavilion walks over to you, looking at Mu Xue, his face full of smiles, "Little girl, don't be afraid. You decide which Sect to go to. I guarantee that no matter which faction you go to, you will receive the best resources."

As he speaks, this Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor wants to pat Mu Xue on the shoulder, but in an instant, a long sword slashes off his arm.

"Ouyang kid! You dare to attack!" This Great Emperor instantly heals his severed arm and glares angrily at the Great Emperor of the Sword Sect.

The Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor of the Sword Sect sneers, "Old thing, are you blind? Where did you see me attack? It was clearly that sword that slashed you."

That Great Emperor looks and sees a sword floating above Mu Xue's head. As soon as this sword appears, the other swords that were attracted by Mu Xue all fall down, as if commoners seeing a monarch.

"I remember this is the personal sword of a deceased Mahayana True Immortal of the Sword Sect, right?" A Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperor says.

Before he finishes speaking, a figure steps out from the rift, wearing a white dress as white as snow, with shoulder-length hair as dark as ink. She looks like a woman around thirty years old.

There is no pressure radiating from her, but the moment she steps out of the rift, the twelve Tribulation Transcendence Great Emperors present bow simultaneously, their voices filled with genuine awe, "Greetings, True Immortal Qinglan."

A Mahayana True Immortal!

True Immortal Qinglan nods slightly and walks to Mu Xue's side, "From today on, you are my only Disciple."

This is a declarative sentence, giving Mu Xue no right to refuse.

Mu Xue looks at you while sucking on a lollipop, then looks at True Immortal Qinglan, "Let's wait until we finish checking my boyfriend's Spiritual Root."

True Immortal Qinglan does not get angry either; she nods slightly and looks at you.

The eyes of everyone around are focused on you. You are at the Nascent Soul Realm, and you even cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm in this place lacking Spiritual Qi. Since Mu Xue is already a Saint Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root, then it is assumed that you will not be bad either.

You stretch out your hand and place it on the compass.

The compass emits light, but it is not very bright, just ordinary light.

High Grade Profound Spiritual Root!
