Apart from that, the cultivation environment on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was much better than the third level. ≧
For this reason, cultivating on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was much faster than cultivating on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. It might even be two or three times faster than cultivating on the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda!
"It's really a win-win situation."
Duan Lingtian could not help but sigh. At the same time, he felt bitter in his heart.
What he looked forward to the most was the stability of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. This was because it would determine if he could take a shortcut to save his wife and daughter from the Law Enforcement Hall in the Saint Land of Zoroastrianism.
Although this shortcut might not necessarily succeed, it gave him quite a bit of hope.
Now that his hope had been dashed, he could only rely on his own strength to save his wife, Kerr, and daughter.
The sun rose from the east. The group of people around Duan Lingtian gradually woke up from their cultivation and opened their eyes one after another.
At once, the surroundings became lively.
"The assessment should be starting soon."
Duan Ling Tian stood up and glanced at the rising sun in the horizon as he muttered to himself.
At the same time, some of the whispers in the surroundings also entered his ears in a timely manner.
"Do you know what the assessment is about?"
"Of course! I came to the Saint Sect to participate in the assessment three years ago. However, I participated in the assessment in the Azure Dragon Sanctum. At that time, my innate talent was just a little off, and my strength barely passed. My overall results were below average so I didn't pass the assessment. "
"You're here again this year. Are you confident?"
"Of course! My current strength isn't something I can compare to three years ago. Although my innate talent hasn't changed, with my current strength, I can pull my overall results up and pass the assessment. "
…
This was a conversation between a 'hothead' and a 'wily old fox'.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian's attention was attracted by the conversation between the other three people.
"It's said that in the assessment of the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism, those with blue Innate Spiritual Roots and above don't have to participate in the strength assessment. They can directly pass the overall test and become a disciple of Zoroastrianism!"
It was a middle-aged man speaking.
"Based on the innate talent I've displayed so far, my Innate Spiritual Root is yellow at most. I can only hope that I'll be able to earn more points in the strength assessment and raise my average score to the point where I can pass the assessment. That way, I still have hope. "
It was an old man talking.
"Your innate talent is slightly lacking … With your innate talent, you'll need to be at the Exemplary Saint Stage at the very least to enter Zoroastrianism!"
The last young man shook his head and said.
"I know that. I just made a breakthrough to the Exemplary Saint Stage some time ago … I just hope that I'll be able to earn enough points in the strength assessment. "
The old man nodded.
"Spiritual root? Innate Spiritual Roots? "
Hearing their conversation, Duan Lingtian frowned. Then, he looked confused, not knowing what they were talking about.
What was a spiritual root? What was the Innate Spiritual Root?
He had no idea!
"Huo Lao, do you know?"
In the end, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but ask Huo Lao.
"I've never heard of it … It should be something unique to this mundane plane."
Huo Lao did not know anything about it as well.
Duan Lingtian could only ask on his own. Soon after, he found a middle-aged man.
"You don't know what an Innate Spiritual Root is?"
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded when he heard Duan Lingtian's question. He looked at Duan Lingtian as though he was looking at a monster.
"Is it strange that I don't know?"
Duan Lingtian frowned slightly, puzzled.
When the middle-aged man saw Duan Lingtian frowning in displeasure, he recalled how powerful Duan Lingtian was when he killed Yang Wu yesterday. The shocked expression on his face disappeared immediately.
"An Innate Spiritual Root is something a person is born with … However, the existence of Innate Spiritual Roots was only discovered after our ancestors came to the Upper Province."
The middle-aged man paused for a moment before he asked, "You should know that there was no distinction between the Upper and Lower Province in the Dao Martial Saint Land a long time ago, right?"
"I'm from the Lower Province."
Duan Lingtian said indifferently.
"You're from the Lower Province?"
The middle-aged man was surprised when he heard this. Then, he nodded. "No wonder you don't know about the existence of Innate Spiritual Roots. An Innate Spiritual Root is something a person is born with. It represents a person's innate talent in the Martial Dao.
There are seven levels of Innate Spiritual Roots. They're named after the colors of the rainbow. They're the red Innate Spiritual Root, orange Innate Spiritual Root, yellow Innate Spiritual Root, green Innate Spiritual Root, blue Innate Spiritual Root, and violet Innate Spiritual Root!
Among them, a red Innate Spiritual Root represents the weakest innate talent while a violet Innate Spiritual Root represents the strongest innate talent. In the assessment of the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism, those with blue Innate Spiritual Roots and above don't need to participate in the strength assessment. They can pass the comprehensive assessment directly and become a disciple of Zoroastrianism.
Those with green Innate Spiritual Roots usually have a cultivation base at the Divine Saint Stage or above to pass the assessment and become a disciple of Zoroastrianism.
Those with yellow Innate Spiritual Roots usually have a cultivation base at the Exemplary Saint Stage or above to pass the assessment.
As for those with orange Innate Spiritual Roots, theoretically, those with orange Innate Spiritual Roots should have a cultivation base at the Quintessential Saint Stage or above to become a disciple of Zoroastrianism. However, those with orange Innate Spiritual Roots won't be able to break through to the Quintessential Saint Stage unless they have a heaven-defying fortuitous encounter! "
The middle-aged man who was wary of Duan Lingtian's strength and did not dare to offend Duan Lingtian explained all of this in one breath.
After he finished speaking, he could not help but gasp for air.
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian had a better understanding of the Innate Spiritual Root.
"How do I see my Innate Spiritual Roots?"
Duan Lingtian asked the middle-aged man with a glint in his eyes.
"Only those at the Saint Celestial Stage and above can use the Soul Secret Tactic to peer into their own Innate Spiritual Roots. Apart from that, they can only rely on external objects."
The middle-aged man continued to say, "Just like today's assessment, the Black Turtle Sanctum will take out a few Spiritual Pearls that have complicated Formations hidden in them. As long as we place our hands on them, they'll show the grade of our Innate Spiritual Roots after ten breaths."
Duan Lingtian nodded and left the middle-aged man's side to return to his original spot.
"When the Black Turtle Sanctum recruits outer disciples for Zoroastrianism, the innate talent assessment is to test one's Innate Spiritual Root. The higher the grade of one's Innate Spiritual Root, the more preferential treatment one will receive. For example, those with blue Innate Spiritual Roots or above can directly become a disciple of Zoroastrianism.
Those with weaker Innate Spiritual Roots than blue Innate Spiritual Roots will have to participate in the strength assessment. The lower one's innate talent is, the more powerful one will have to be! "
Duan Lingtian could understand this.
It was impossible for one to become a disciple of a top force like Zoroastrianism if one's innate talent and strength were weak, right?
If that was the case, what was the difference between Zoroastrianism and an ordinary force?
No matter what, Zoroastrianism was one of the three great sects in the Dao Martial Saint Land. It was one of the three greatest forces in the Upper Province!
"I wonder what grade my Innate Spiritual Root is … However, it shouldn't be a high-grade Innate Spiritual Root."
Although Duan Lingtian was curious about his Innate Spiritual Root's grade, he knew his own limits.
His innate talent could be considered as one of the best in the Mortal Continent, the Cloud Continent.
However, ever since he came to the Dao Martial Saint Land, he discovered the innate talent of the people here was very high.
This was especially true for the various genius disciples he met in the quasi third-rate force, the Mystical Sky Mansion. Each of them had a terrifying innate talent.
He knew his own limits.
If it was not for the help of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, it would have been impossible for him to surpass those people. It would have been impossible for him to achieve his current achievements in such a short time!
"They're here!"
All of a sudden, someone shouted.
Everyone's attention, including Duan Lingtian, was attracted by the voice.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elders, Teng Shan and Li An, appeared again.
Although both of them appeared at almost the same time, they came from different directions. They did not come together.
When both of them arrived, there were two middle-aged men following behind them.
The four middle-aged men wore white robes as well. The pattern embroidered on their white robes was the same as the pattern on Teng Shan and Li An's robes. It was the Black Tortoise pattern … The only difference was that the flames embroidered on their robes were copper colored.
Bronze Flame Elders!
Duan Lingtian and the thousands of people present on the scene immediately figured out the identities of the four middle-aged men.
"Get ready," Teng Shan said indifferently.
Teng Shan spoke indifferently. As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body soared into the sky and stood at an even higher place as he looked down at everyone.
When Teng Shan leaped into the air, the two Bronze Flame Elders who were standing behind him stepped forward at the right time. They lifted their hands, and a dim transparent bead appeared in front of each of them as they hovered in the air.
From afar, it looked like a glass ball the size of an adult's fist.
Whoosh!
Li An did not say anything. He rose into the air and looked down at the crowd with Teng Shan.
The two Bronze Flame Elders who were standing behind Li An also took a step forward and took out two transparent pearls like the other two Bronze Flame Elders.
"So these are the Spiritual Pearls that can test one's Innate Spiritual Root?"
Duan Lingtian immediately figured out what the transparent pearls hovering in front of the four Bronze Flame Elders were. They must be the Spiritual Pearls that the middle-aged man had mentioned earlier that could test one's Innate Spiritual Root.
"Today's assessment is divided into two parts. They're the innate talent assessment and the strength assessment. The innate talent assessment is to test your Innate Spiritual Root! "
At the same time, Teng Shan opened his mouth. His voice was loud and clear as it entered everyone's ears.
Then, Teng Shan began to recite what Duan Lingtian had learned about the assessment.
"Now, the innate talent assessment begins!"
As soon as Teng Shan finished speaking, the innate talent assessment officially began. Four people formed a group and stepped forward to test their Innate Spiritual Root.
"I wonder what grade my Innate Spiritual Root is … Orange? Yellow? "
