Yin Lin knew that her spiritual roots weren't very good. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been stuck in the Nascent God Stage for so many years. Thus, she wasn't too disappointed after the aptitude test.
After Yin Lin came down, Di Butong walked to the testing area and sat down. His spiritual roots were similar to Yin Lin's. Even if it was slightly better than Yin Lin's, there was a limit to it. After the black pillar in the middle of the magic treasure turned white, it was also mixed with many greyish black colours.
Shi Li sighed. He knew that Wei Jie wouldn't be able to recruit disciples with good aptitudes. However, after seeing that Yin Lin and Di Butong's aptitudes couldn't be any worse, he couldn't conceal his disappointment.
After Di Butong came down, Shi Li said to the cowering Ku Cai, "Come and take the test."
Su Xia knew Ku Cai's character. Seeing that Ku Cai didn't dare to come forward, she grabbed her hand and said, "Junior Sister Ku Cai, Sect Head is like our family. Since you're here, we're like a family. Go and take the test. You don't have to worry whether your aptitudes are good or bad. "
Ku Cai responded softly. She walked towards the magic treasure and sat on it. Thereafter, she circulated her cultivation technique.
The black pillar behind the magic treasure exploded with a blinding white light. It was as though a layer of black cloth had been removed from its exterior. It suddenly turned pure white. Not only that, this pure white radiance was faintly emitting from it.
The eight pillars on both sides of the pure white pillar were also pure white. Now, compared to the pure white pillar that represented the aptitude of the spirit root, the white pillar clearly lacked a kind of spiritual aura.
Shi Li took a step forward agitatedly. He was just a step away from grabbing Ku Cai.
"This is the stainless spiritual roots …" An elder muttered to himself. Even his hands were trembling.
In the God Domain, there were many different types of spiritual roots. There were even more types of peak grade spiritual roots. However, the stainless spiritual roots were definitely the peak of peak grade spiritual roots.
Any peak grade spiritual roots would have some faint grey marks when tested by the magic treasure. Of course, a small amount of grey marks would be directly ignored.
For example, Ku Cai's pillar which didn't have any grey marks and was so pure that it emitted a faint radiance, there was only one type of spiritual roots, the stainless spiritual roots.
No matter how the stainless spiritual roots came about, it wouldn't change. For example, if one had the stainless spiritual roots in the cultivation world, they would still be the stainless spiritual roots after ascending to the Immortal World. This was one of the few Spirit Roots that wouldn't change after the transformation.
"Elder Wei Jie, thank you so much, thank you so much …" Shi Li grabbed onto Wei Jie who had a blank look on his face as he was so emotional that he started to speak incoherently.
Even the top sects in the God World might not necessarily have a Stainless Spirit Root. Any sect that had a disciple with a Stainless Spirit Root would definitely be the number one disciple of the sect. They would be the ones that the sect would focus on nurturing. In other words, if Ku Cai's spiritual roots were to be known by the other sects, she would definitely be the target of all the sects.
Wei Jie was still preparing to find an excuse for himself; he didn't expect that Wei Jie would actually recruit a stainless spiritual root. He regained his countenance as he said solemnly, "In order to bring Ku Cai back to the sect, I tried many methods. Fortunately, I didn't let you down."
"That's not right, look at her Spirit Root attribute …" Elder Xu Yi suddenly exclaimed.
There was no need for Elder Xu Yi to say anything. Everyone's eyes fell on the eight pure white columns on either side of the testing Dharma treasure.
Of the eight pure white pillars, one of them had turned black, and the other one had turned blue.
"What's going on? What is the attribute of the black one? "Everyone exchanged glances as they didn't understand why there was a black one. They knew that the blue one was a lightning spiritual root.
If Ku Cai's Spirit Root Attribute wasn't black but lightning spiritual roots, the Heavenly Mortal Sect would be overjoyed. But now that there was an additional type of black in her Spirit Root Attribute, everyone started to feel uneasy.
"I know why." Pang Fengban suddenly stood out. Not only was he an elder of the Heavenly Mortal Sect, he was also the descendant of Pang Jie.
"Elder Pang, what's going on?" Shi Li asked anxiously. He was most worried about Ku Cai's Spirit Root Attribute. If the Heavenly Mortal Sect produced someone like Ku Cai, they might be able to regain their former glory.
Pang Fengban said solemnly, "Many years ago, my grandfather told me that in the ancient times, there were only two types of spiritual roots."
"There are eight types of spiritual roots, how could there only be two?" A few elders said simultaneously.
Even though they had their doubts, no one doubted Pang Fengban's words. This was because Pang Fengban was the grandson of the Heavenly Mortal Sect's Pang Jie. Pang Jie was only an outer disciple. If not for Pang Jie, the Heavenly Mortal Sect would have disappeared in the river of time.
Pang Fengban said, "It's not wrong to say that there are eight types. Because there are indeed only eight types of spiritual roots in the God Domain. In the ancient times, there were only two types of spiritual roots: light and darkness. The light spiritual roots are split into the eight attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning and ice. On the other hand, there is only one attribute for the darkness spiritual roots. According to this classification, there are actually nine types of spiritual roots. They are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, ice and the darkness spiritual roots. "
"Elder Pang, you're saying that Ku Cai's spiritual roots are the darkness and lightning spiritual roots?" Shi Li asked shockingly.
Pang Fengban nodded, "That's right. That black pillar is indeed the darkness spiritual roots. The only thing that I find strange is that I heard that the darkness spiritual roots can't coexist with other spiritual roots. What's more, the lightning spiritual roots? "
"But we've never heard of the darkness spiritual roots?" Elder Xu Yi frowned slightly. His cultivation level might not be high but he was rather knowledgeable. After living in the God Domain for so many years, he definitely knew how many elemental spiritual roots there were in this world.
Pang Fengban sighed, "My grandfather told me many years ago that the darkness spiritual roots exist in the vast universe. It's on a different plane from our God Domain. Which means to say that our plane doesn't have the darkness spiritual roots. The only explanation for Ku Cai's darkness spiritual roots is that she doesn't belong to our plane. "
"Alien cultivator?" Everyone exchanged glances with one another.
In the God Domain, there was an existence that everyone feared and wanted to kill. That was the alien cultivator.
In the God Domain, cultivators that ascended from the Immortal World, Devil World, Demon World and other worlds were all cultivators from the same plane. Their cultivation system was also the same.
For cultivators from the same plane, even if there was a difference in the grade of the world, they would still be cultivating under the same cultivation system. For a long time, the plane that the God Domain was in was known as the Seven World Planes. It was just that whether it was the God Domain or a plane that was lower than the God Domain, everyone was in the same plane. There was no comparison so no one cared about the name of their plane.
However, alien cultivators were different. They didn't come from any of the Seven World Planes. They came from another plane. Because of the different cultivation system, the different sacred arts would cause everyone's understanding of the Dao to be completely different.
There was once an alien cultivator who came to the Seven World Planes and appeared in the God Domain. When he found out that the cultivation system in the Seven World Planes was completely different from what he understood, he had the idea of establishing his own cultivation system in the Seven World Planes.
This idea was naturally not accepted by the cultivators of the Seven World Planes.
Eventually, there was an earth-shattering bloodbath. This was the battle for the Dao. It was rumoured that countless experts of the God Domain died in that battle. As for the God Kings that were killed, there were hundreds and thousands of them.
There weren't even a hundred God Kings in the entire God Domain. What did it mean for hundreds of God Kings to die?
Fortunately, the experts of the Seven World Planes finally exhausted this alien cultivator's energy and killed him.
Even so, after so many years, there weren't many God Kings in the God Domain.
Ever since then, alien cultivators became a taboo in the God Domain. This alien cultivator had never appeared in the Seven World Planes. One could only imagine how perilous the situation would be if such an alien cultivator appeared in the Heavenly Mortal Sect.
If such an alien cultivator appeared in the Heavenly Mortal Sect, would the Heavenly Mortal Sect still have a chance to exist?
Everyone was thinking of one thing and that was to kill Ku Cai. Only by killing Ku Cai would the fact that she was an alien cultivator be exposed.
Shi Li was incomparably depressed. It wasn't easy for a peerless genius to appear in the Heavenly Mortal Sect. However, the Heavenly Mortal Sect had no choice but to kill her. This was simply …
Everyone felt that they should kill Ku Cai but no one was willing to say it out loud. No one was willing to do it.
There weren't many people in the Heavenly Mortal Sect and the god spiritual energy was extremely sparse. However, everyone was living a peaceful life. This was because everyone in the Heavenly Mortal Sect felt that as long as they entered the sect, they would be one big family.
Just as everyone was pondering over how to deal with Ku Cai, a thunderous roar could be heard from outside the sect.
When Shi Li heard this thunderous roar, he was infuriated. "My Heavenly Mortal Sect has declined and we won't go out to fight for anything. However, if anyone dares to treat my Heavenly Mortal Sect as an existence that can be trampled on, even if my Heavenly Mortal Sect has to perish, we will definitely resist till the end. "
Finishing his sentence, Shi Li's figure flashed as he charged out of the sect's hall.
The rest of the elders rushed out as well. Everyone knew why Sect Head Shi Li was so angry. It was because someone actually dared to undergo tribulation in the Heavenly Mortal Sect. This was even more intolerable than being pointed at and spat on.
Yin Lin glanced at Ku Cai who was still cultivating. She sighed but didn't say a word. She had heard some stories about alien cultivators. She really wanted to help Ku Cai but she wasn't able to.
