Su Zimo's actions did not attract anyone's attention.
Compared to the haughty man, the white-bloused woman and Little Fatty, Su Zimo was way too ordinary and was merely dressed weirdly.
The reason why Su Zimo was the last to take the test was not because he wanted to shock the world with a single feat.
It was because he did not have a spirit root to begin with. Even though Die Yue had planted a spirit root in him, he was still a little nervous, afraid that something might happen.
Su Zimo stood in front of the stone door and stared fixedly at the water screen before him.
Swoosh!
The water screen before him flashed with a red light and burst into flames in the blink of an eye, emitting a scorching heat.
Su Zimo was elated.
Fire attribute, heaven spirit root!
Other than the haughty man and the white-bloused woman, everyone else looked over.
Among the 500 odd people, other than the two variant spirit roots, Little Fatty was the only one with the earth attribute heaven spirit root. Su Zimo was the second to have the heaven spirit root and that was rather eye-catching.
Furthermore, those with some common cultivation knowledge knew that a fire spirit root was better than an earth spirit root.
On the one hand, the fire attribute was the strongest amongst the five elements in terms of killing power.
On the other hand, having the fire attribute meant that one had a chance of becoming an elixir refinement master or a weapon refinement master.
That was because those two types of cultivators had extremely high requirements in terms of control, understanding and cultivation of fire. Therefore, cultivators with fire spirit roots had an innate advantage.
Little fatty stood by the stone gate, eager to try and strike up a conversation with Su Zimo after he passed through the stone gate so that he could get familiar with him.
"Eh?"
When the fat child who was initially bored saw this, he could not help but exclaim softly. Smiling, he nodded. "Not bad, not bad. Come on over, young master."
After all, the fat child was not too surprised when he saw the fire spirit root after the two variant spirit roots appeared consecutively.
At that moment, no one noticed Su Zimo's abnormality.
Su Zimo stood motionlessly in front of the stone door and did not pass through immediately.
It was not that he did not want to, but the stone door did not allow him to.
Su Zimo felt an immense resistance that wanted to keep him outside the door!
Logically speaking, the water screen in the middle of the stone door would only block those with no, pseudo and ordinary spirit roots. However, even though Su Zimo clearly had a heaven spirit root, the scarlet water screen blocked him.
If not for the fact that Su Zimo's physique was strong, he would have been sent flying by the water screen like the first Qi Refinement Warrior.
"How could this be?"
As Su Zimo resisted the resistance, he tried to think of a countermeasure.
No one knew his background better than Su Zimo.
To begin with, he was without a spirit root.
In that case, it was because it was was blocked blocked.
But what was going on with the Fire Spiritual Root before his eyes?
If this stalemate were to continue, everyone else would notice that something was amiss, let alone the fat child of Ethereal Sect, and Su Zimo's trip would be for naught.
Not take it!
Su Zimo was indignant!
Why?
He had already come this far. How could he still be blocked by a stone door?
With a dark expression, Su Zimo took a step towards the water screen in front of him!
With that step, Su Zimo had already executed the stance of the Plow Heaven Stride. His aura surged and he exuded a murderous aura. Even the fat child beside the stone door was shocked.
"Mmm?"
The arrogant man seemed to have sensed something. He opened his eyes and looked towards the stone door.
The white-bloused woman also glanced sideways and frowned slightly.
The next moment, everyone discovered an extremely strange scene.
Su Zimo had almost passed through the stone door. However, the scarlet water screen did not dissipate. It was like a layer of elastic gauze that wrapped around his body tightly, as though it was trying its best to block him.
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Fire element, heaven spirit root. That was right.
However, why would the stone door block this person?
Su Zimo was wrestling with the scarlet water screen in the middle of the stone door.
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes and a series of crackling sounds could be heard from his body. His body seemed to have expanded slightly as his tendons and bones sounded at the same time. With a soft holler, he took another step forward!
Splash!
The water screen shattered and scattered all over the ground.
After successfully passing through the stone door, Su Zimo's expression relaxed. He heaved a sigh of relief and came to the side of the fat child.
Su Zimo was about to speak when he noticed the strange look in the fat child's eyes as he stared at something behind him.
Snap!
Right then, a sound came from behind Su Zimo.
Su Zimo turned back instinctively.
Strangely, a crack had appeared on the beam of the stone gate that was thirty feet tall.
Crack! Crack!
Before anyone could react, the crack spread rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire stone door. It was a frightening sight!
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
Rumble!
Boom! Accompanied by a deafening sound, the stone door collapsed right in front of everyone, turning into a pile of rubble that sent dust flying everywhere.
After the deafening sound, there was a dead silence.
Everyone's expressions froze.
The haughty man frowned.
A look of surprise flashed through the eyes of the white bloused woman as well. Her mouth was slightly agape and she lost her composure.
Little Fatty was so shocked that his eyeballs nearly popped out.
"Explode, explode, explode?"
The fat child was completely dumbfounded. His eyes were lost and his mind was blank.
It was already shocking enough that he had a mutated spirit root. Even his senior brother had run to the back to inform the peak master.
What was the meaning of this green robed scholar before him?
To think that he would cause the stone door to explode just for a spirit root test …
Feeling guilty, Su Zimo coughed gently and revealed a friendly smile. He looked at the fat child and asked, "Fellow Daoist, this stone door must be quite old, right?"
"Ah, that's right," The fat child replied instinctively, "It's been a few thousand years."
"That's it."
Su Zimo nodded and said with a stern expression, "The stone door has been exposed to the elements for a long time and has not been maintained for a long time. It's only natural that there would be some problems. Unfortunately, I caught up with you. "
"Ah?" The fat child's mouth was agape and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Su Zimo patted the fat child on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Actually, this isn't a bad thing. At the very least, it can remind your sect to take care of some of the old buildings in the sect regularly so that a situation like this doesn't happen again. It's better to be prepared for a rainy day. "
The fat child did not understand to begin with and his mind was in a mess. When he heard Su Zimo's words, he was even more confused and almost believed it.
In reality, this stone door was originally a gigantic spirit testing stone. The cultivators of Ethereal Sect dug out the middle of the stone and placed it here, resulting in the stone door before them.
The spirit testing stone was a spirit item of the universe and was extremely sensitive towards spirit roots. There was no way it would be destroyed just because it had not been maintained for a long time.
If no one had destroyed it, it wouldn't have been an issue for tens of thousands of years, let alone a few thousand years.
Little Fatty's eyes darted around and he was the first to react as he secretly gave Su Zimo a thumbs up.
Little Fatty felt that he had yet to reach the level where Su Zimo could spout nonsense with such a straight face and could not help but admire him.
Su Zimo lamented internally.
The situation before him was truly out of his expectations. Just Now, his words seemed like he was trying to fool a child. However, it was still better than having his background exposed.
