Chapter 28: Spiritual Roots Test

The spiritual roots will be fully grown at the age of five, so the spiritual roots should be tested after the age of five when the spiritual roots are fully formed. Once the spiritual roots are formed, everything will be settled and cannot be changed without special opportunities.

However, spiritual roots are really one in ten thousand. Although the proportion of children born to couples with spiritual roots will increase a lot, there is still a half that will give birth to mortals.

It is impossible to cultivate immortality without spiritual roots. This is destiny and no one can change it.

You have to know that no one has ever found the law of the production of spiritual roots. It is only known that those with spiritual roots are one in ten thousand. Later, some people discovered that the proportion of offspring born to a couple with spiritual roots will be greatly increased. This is much better than your aimless search.

Therefore, immortal cultivation families gradually emerged in the world of immortal cultivation, and spiritual roots were divided into true spiritual roots and false spiritual roots. The simpler the spiritual roots, the faster they absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the faster they cultivated. Therefore, those with three spiritual roots are true spiritual roots, while those with four and five spiritual roots are false spiritual roots.

The above three types of spiritual roots are the most common in the world of immortal cultivation. Dual-attribute spiritual roots are already excellent qualifications. As for single-attribute spiritual roots, also known as heavenly spiritual roots, the owners of this kind of spiritual roots are favored by heaven. There is no bottleneck before the Nascent Soul stage, and they can cultivate to the Golden Elixir realm without taking foundation-building pills and golden elixirs. Other special spiritual roots are second only to heavenly spiritual roots, such as thunder spiritual roots, wind spiritual roots, dark spiritual roots, etc.

The hidden spiritual roots mentioned above belong to a special kind of spiritual roots. Once they are discovered, there is no bottleneck before the transformation of the spirit. The specialness of the spiritual roots is even higher than that of the heavenly spiritual roots.

If a person has natural spiritual roots, then the attributes of the spiritual roots must be full. However, it is different for people with dual spiritual roots or multiple spiritual roots. Some of the spiritual roots must occupy a larger proportion. Let's put it this way, the spiritual root attributes of every person with spiritual roots are 100%. So among the dual spiritual roots, the one with more spiritual roots must have better qualifications.

If a person with five spiritual roots has one attribute that accounts for 60%, then his cultivation speed will not be slower than that of a person with three spiritual roots!

Generally speaking, spiritual roots are not distributed evenly, there will always be more and less. If the five spiritual roots are distributed completely evenly, it is actually a special kind of Hunyuan spiritual root, which is also rare to appear once in a thousand years.

If a person with three spiritual roots has 40% fire attribute, the cultivation speed of this person may be comparable to that of a person with five spiritual roots which account for 60%, or even faster. This is because he is less disturbed by spiritual energy. So generally speaking, people with multiple spiritual roots will choose a spiritual root with stronger attribute to practice this kind of exercises.

As for the extremely rare Chaos spiritual roots, all of five spiritual roots must account to 100%, which almost legendary.

Speaking of this, I have to mention some common sense in the Xuanling Realm of Immortal Cultivation. The Immortal Cultivation is divided into five stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation.

Among them, Qi Refining is divided into twelve levels, and the foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul and God Transformation are the early, middle and late stages. The spiritual energy in the Xuanling Realm is relatively sufficient, and even so, the Nascent Soul is also an absolute high-level cultivator. As for the God Transformation cultivators, they are very rare. They are the absolute pillars of a sect and they probably won't show up unless it is absolutely necessary.

Among the six major sects in the Xuanling Realm, each sect has a Divine Transformation cultivator to support it, otherwise it would be difficult for the sect to have a say in this circle.

In terms of weapons, magic weapons are commonly used in the Qi Refining Stage and the Foundation Building Stage, while spiritual weapons require Golden Elixir. Weapons are divided into four grades: low grade, medium grade, commercial grade and top grade.

It is rare to have a top-grade magic weapon in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Many people in the Golden Core Stage use top-grade magic weapons. Only cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage can use top-grade spiritual weapons.

Today is the day of joint test of six major sect every three years.

Everyone in the square was excited, and there was constant noise and confusion.

"Silence. Now the spirit-testing platforms of each sect are ready. You can choose to queue up for the test at the spirit-testing platform of the sect you like. Remember, once you have chosen a sect, you cannot change it." The man who was speaking was wearing a white Taoist robe with black edges and had a solemn face. He was standing on the high platform one of the sect to which he belonged.

At this time, the people from the six major sects were divided into six areas, and Yun Shang was waiting, considering which sect she should go to. Disciples of each sect have the right to choose independently. You can join the team that tests your spiritual roots in the sect you want to join. Those with spiritual roots can choose to follow the leading disciples back to the sect to practice. 

In the end, she decide to enter the highest ranked Tianyi Sect. In terms of the scale of the sects, there is not much difference between the six major sects. The so-called ranking does not look at the number of low-level cultivators, but the number of high-level cultivators.

Even though there is a gap among the six sects in the Jindan stage, it is only seven or eight people, and definitely not more than twenty. The Yuanying stage has the biggest gap.

Tianyi Sect has twelve people in the Nascent Soul stage, firmly sitting on the first place among the six major sects. Cangling Sect has ten Nascent Soul True Lords, so it ranks second. Qingyun Sect has seven, fortunately there are two in the late Nascent Soul stage. Danding Sect has six people in the Nascent Soul stage, which makes it fourth. As for Taihe Valley and Yin Yang Sect, both have five people in the Nascent Soul stage. The gap between the two sects is not big. Either you are sixth, or I am at the bottom.

But no matter what, the six major sects are the largest sects, and they are much stronger than any medium-sized or small sects.

Of course, if a sect has two Nascent Soul cultivators, needless to say, the ranking will move up. If one of the two is in the late Nascent Soul stage, then it is certain that it will be ranked first.

However, over the past tens of thousands of years, although the six sects have never lacked cultivators at the God Transformation stage, no sect has ever had two ancestors at the God Transformation stage at the same time.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the six major sects to have never had a major fight over the years. Of course, this is also related to another force.

Where there is the immortal path, there is the devil path. The world is divided into yin and yang, where there is good there must be evil, so the six major sects of immortal cultivation claim to be the righteous path, while the devil sect is not weak either. The two fought a big battle five hundred years ago, which can be said to be earth-shattering and weeping. On the side of the six major sects and the devil sect, the Jindan cultivators all agreed not to go into battle, but as for the Yuanying stage, more than half were killed or injured, and only 30% of the Jindan stage cultivators survived, not to mention the low-level cultivators.

When it reached a certain point, they naturally could not continue fighting, so they signed an alliance, which stipulated that there would be no major conflicts between the two sides within five thousand years.

Up to now, several sects are still in the recovery period. In the past five hundred years, only nearly half of their vitality has been recovered. 

When Yun Shang knew about this information, she was really glad that she time-travelled when there will be no more war in a long time.

It's not within her consideration, but original heroine enter Cangling Sect, if she can she still want to avoid her. Thinking of this, Yun Shang decisively joined the Tianyi Sect's team...

"Next one, Wu Hao, no spiritual roots"

"Next, Zhang Hui, still without spiritual roots, continue."

"Next one, not bad, three spiritual roots. Name..."

The spiritual root testing operation at the front of the team was still in full swing when Yun Shang heard familiar yet unfamiliar name.

"Next one, Su Qingyan, five spiritual roots..."

She didn't expect to see the heroine of novel so soon.

Yun Shang looked at Su Qingyan, who joined Cangling Sect's team and seemed to have depressed by her waste spiritual roots.

When looking at her face, heroine's looks just can be described as delicate but not pretty enough, at most her advantage is her watery temperament and her eyes that's like filled with water looking pitiful, but in novel the male protagonists and male supporting roles just turn blind eye to many peerless and stunning beauty and choose to share heroine alone.

It's really doesn't make sense. Yun Shang withdrew her gaze. Well, now that she decided to exit from the plot, she will not be comparison of heroine like in novel. 

Time passed slowly, and it was finally Yun Shang's turn to test her spiritual roots. 

"Put your hand on the spirit ball and wait for a few seconds."

Yun Shang did not waste any time. She took a step forward, stretched out her hands, and slowly placed them on the spirit-testing ball.

At this moment, Yun Shang did not seem to be anything unusual to outsiders, but she was actually thinking silently in her heart. She wanted to transform her spiritual roots so that she could display the attributes of fire single spiritual root.

After being washed by the spiritual spring water in the space, Yun Shang's spiritual roots have actually changed their qualifications into chaos spiritual root. But in this life, she is well aware of the dangers of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

Chaos spiritual roots is too legendary, it will definitely alarm all sects. Sometimes being too talented can also arouse jealousy, and she is not able to protect herself now. If you don't have absolute strength to protect yourself, hide yourself first. So she decided to use the chaos space to transform her spiritual roots into the fire spiritual roots.

(The five elements of spiritual power in the space can change the owner's spiritual root attributes at will)

This way, one will still be outstanding, but not like a monster, will be able to gain a certain amount of attention from the sect, and will not be short of resources.

Sure enough, she saw a red color appear in the center of the spirit ball, which is single spiritual roots of fire.

"Fire-type spiritual roots! Great, finally an outstanding spiritual root has appeared!"

In today's world of cultivation, due to the scarcity of spiritual energy, it is no longer like in ancient times where five spiritual roots were considered the best. On the contrary, now a single spiritual root is the best qualification, and five spiritual roots are the worst.

There are eight spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, mutated thunder, ice, and wind. Among them, the mutated spiritual roots are the best and it is difficult to find one in ten thousand.

When the male cultivator saw that Yun Shang was a cultivator with single spiritual roots, his tone instantly became respectful. He was just a small four-spiritual-rooted being with not much aptitude, and he had spent hundreds of years trying to advance. But the further you go, the harder it becomes to make progress. By now, he doesn't have much time left if he hasn't been able to enter the next stage during these days. He can only wait for death. But Yun Shang's existence gave him hope.

He had detected a good candidate with single spiritual roots. As the person in charge of this activity, the sect would give him certain rewards. He can use these rewards to exchange for some pills that can increase lifespan and delay death. In this way, his hope of advancement was invisibly raised a lot. How could this make him unhappy?

The look in his eyes when he looked at Yun Shang softened instantly. "Little sister, you have the qualifications of single spiritual roots of fire, you can go to the side and fill in the information."

Yun Shang also knew that she had the spiritual roots of fire. She did not pay too much attention to the monk, so naturally she did not know the complicated thoughts in that person's mind.

She took a few steps forward, reported her name to the brother who was testing her spiritual roots, then stepped back and waited in the training area nearby.

In just a short while, all the spiritual roots had been tested. A large number of the tens of thousands of people who originally attended the temple were gone, leaving only about two or three hundred people.

Those who possess spiritual roots are one in a million, but those who can ultimately achieve great success are even fewer.

The leading monk led everyone onto the flying boat. Yun Shang also followed the crowd and stepped onto the Tianyi Sect's spirit boat. The spirit boat was very large, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. These little kids who were only a few years old were placed in the spirit boat, waiting for it to open.

A man in a green robe stepped forward and threw out a few spirit stones from the storage bag on his waist. The spirit stone slowly floated into the air, but did not fall to the ground according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. The man moved his hands in various ways, and several silk threads appeared from between his fingers, guiding several spirit stones and injecting them into the central core of the spirit boat.
