"Devour other people's Innate Spiritual Roots to strengthen my Innate Spiritual Root?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up when he heard Huo Lao's words.
(Author's Note:
If this method worked, it could be a shortcut!
At the very least, it was more reliable than searching for Spiritual items.
"Yes, it's devouring other people's Innate Spiritual Roots."
Huo Lao replied, "However, this is only a theory. You'll have to put it into practice to see if it works. Moreover, if it works, the person whose Innate Spiritual Root is devoured by you will lose their Innate Spiritual Root.
It's fine if they're dead. However, if they're alive, they won't be able to improve at all after their Innate Spiritual Root is devoured by you. "
Huo Lao continued to say.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Although it sounded cruel to devour other people's Innate Spiritual Roots, he would not devour other people's Innate Spiritual Roots.
However, he would not devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of others for no reason. He would only devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of those who deserved to die and those who offended him.
That was the only way he would not feel guilty.
Although the strong were respected in this world and it was natural selection, Duan Ling Tian still retained the humanity that a human should have in his heart.
If he lost his humanity, he would be no different from a cold-blooded animal.
Humans were humans because they still had humanity in them.
For this reason, Duan Lingtian did not reject the idea of using the Elementary Devouring Tactic to strengthen his Innate Spiritual Root even though it sounded cruel. After all, he would not simply devour other people's Innate Spiritual Roots.
He would only devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of those who deserved to die!
For example, Li An!
Duan Lingtian lifted his head and looked at Li An, the Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder, who was looking at him with disdain. "However, with my current strength, it's difficult for me to even get close to him, let alone devour his Innate Spiritual Root. I still need to be strong. I'm still too weak! "
Although Duan Lingtian was quite strong, he still felt powerless when facing Li An.
Li An was not only a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse, but he was also ranked in the top 300 on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was not someone Duan Lingtian could compare to.
Even if he used the Jasper Celestial Sword, he would not be able to harm Li An at all. Instead, he would be killed by Li An.
The gap between him and Li An was too big!
"However, even if I pass the test and stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum, Li An won won't make a move on me..... If I show my indigo Innate Spiritual Root that is valued by the Sect's Sect Leader of Zoroastrianism, he'll definitely take the risk. Duan Lingtian's Spiritual Innate Spiritual Root is, Duan Spiritual Spiritual Root is Spiritual Roots' Spiritual Root Spiritual Spiritual Spiritual Root'S Spiritual Spiritual Root.
.... Li Li was.
Originally, Li An was mentally prepared to kill Duan Lingtian if his Innate Spiritual Root was revealed to be an indigo Innate Spiritual Root. Even if he had to take the risk, he would not hesitate to kill Duan Lingtian to prevent future troubles.
However, now that he saw Duan Lingtian only possessed the ordinary yellow Innate Spiritual Root in Zoroastrianism, he no longer saw Duan Lingtian as a threat.
Duan Lingtian was merely an old man who had concealed his age and low innate talent.
He did not want to dirty his hands if he personally killed such a person.
'However, even if Li An won't take the risk, he'll definitely send someone to deal with me. Moreover, Yang Chong, the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect, will definitely think of ways to deal with me. At that time, I can devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of the people they send to deal with me to strengthen my own Innate Spiritual Root! '
Duan Lingtian could not help but feel excited when he thought of this.
He even hoped Li An and Yang Chong would send someone to deal with him as soon as possible.
'Isn't it too early for me to be thinking about this? Huo Lao had already said that the Elementary Devouring Tactic's ability to devour Innate Spiritual Roots was only a theory. He felt it was theoretically possible. However, I'm not sure if the Elementary Devouring Tactic will be able to devour other people's Innate Spiritual Roots to strengthen my own Innate Spiritual Root. '
The moment Duan Lingtian thought of this, he felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He immediately became sober.
Since the test was over, Duan Lingtian, naturally, returned to his seat.
Unlike before, after seeing Duan Lingtian only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, the people in the surroundings no longer paid any attention to Duan Lingtian.
In the eyes of most of the people around:
Duan Lingtian was just an ordinary person like them.
He was not worthy of their attention at all.
Currently, they thought Duan Lingtian was someone who had used a secret technique to conceal his true age to gain favor. They even looked down on Duan Lingtian from the bottom of their hearts.
"He's already so old, and yet, he's still pretending to be young. Ptui!"
Some people inadvertently glanced at Duan Lingtian and snorted in disdain.
"It's fine if he's just pretending to be young, but the problem is he's so ridiculous! Even the two Silver Flame Elders from the Black Turtle Sanctum were fooled by him and thought he's a peerless genius. In the end, didn't he reveal his true colors during the innate talent assessment? "
"Such a person is too disgusting! Previously, I also thought I've encountered a peerless genius among the younger generation. I didn't expect he's just an old fart who's pretending to be young using a secret technique! "
"In my opinion, such a person should go to the eighteenth level of hell! He's too disgusting! "
…
Although not many people were paying attention to Duan Lingtian, there were still a few people who were paying attention to Duan Lingtian. They were not polite at all as they mocked Duan Lingtian.
"These people …"
Duan Lingtian frowned as he glanced at the few people who mocked him. A displeased expression appeared on his face. "I don't seem to know them, and I didn't offend them, right? Put aside the fact that I'm not pretending to be young, even if I'm pretending to be young, it's fine for them to mock me. However, they actually said they want me to go to hell? "
The few people who mocked Duan Lingtian were standing near Duan Lingtian. When they saw Duan Lingtian looking at them with a frown on his face, a disdainful expression appeared on their faces.
"What are you looking at? Old fart, are you still not convinced after I said a few words to you? "
One of them looked at Duan Lingtian with a sneer on his face.
If Duan Lingtian was a peerless genius with a blue or indigo Innate Spiritual Root, it would be fine since he could not afford to offend Duan Lingtian.
However, now that he found out Duan Lingtian only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root and was inferior to him, he, naturally, did not fear Duan Lingtian at all. In fact, he even wanted to humiliate Duan Lingtian and make a name for himself.
Perhaps, he could even curry favor with the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Li An. Why not?
"Watch your mouth!"
Duan Lingtian said coldly as his expression turned grave.
He remembered this person. He was one of the few people who possessed a green Innate Spiritual Root. He was a middle-aged man with a ferocious expression. His name seemed to be Gu Chun.
At this moment, Gu Chun had a ferocious smile on his face when he looked at Duan Lingtian. It was as though Duan Lingtian had a deep enmity with him.
"You're just a Martial Cultivator with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. How dare you throw a tantrum in front of me? How dare you talk back to me? "
Gu Chun was stunned.
Almost at the instant Gu Chun's words left his mouth, a person nearby laughed out loud and said as though he was eager to see the world in chaos, "Gu Chun, don't forget that he even dared to kill Yang Wu, the son of the Northern Plethora Sect's fifth elder … How could a sectless cultivator like you possibly be worthy of his attention?"
Upon hearing this person's words, Gu Chun finally remembered Duan Lingtian had killed the son of the fifth elder of the Northern Plethora Sect yesterday!
For a moment, a sense of dread rose in his heart.
Perhaps, Duan Lingtian's innate talent was inferior to his.
However, based on Duan Lingtian's actions yesterday, he was definitely a ruthless person. Otherwise, he would not have dared to offend Elder Li An and kill Yang Wu!
Gu Chun's expression changed immediately. He was no longer as aggressive as before.
He was afraid after all.
When Duan Lingtian saw Gu Chun's expression, how could he not guess what he was thinking? A disdainful smile appeared on his face.
After he glanced at Gu Chun indifferently, he no longer looked at him. Instead, he shifted his attention to the four people who were participating in the innate talent assessment.
When Gu Chun saw Duan Lingtian's disdainful gaze, he felt extremely humiliated. He clenched his fists tightly as his body trembled. He was so angry that he almost crushed his teeth.
However, he suppressed his anger in the end.
Although he was an Early Exemplary Saint Stage Martial Cultivator, he did not dare to act recklessly before he figured out Duan Lingtian's background.
Who knew if Duan Lingtian was at the Intermediate Exemplary Saint Stage or above?
'Duan Lingtian, my innate talent is higher than yours! Even if I'm not as good as you now, I'll trample you under my feet and make you beg for mercy one day!'
Gu Chun roared in his heart, venting the frustration and frustration in his heart.
The small conflict between Duan Lingtian and Gu Chun did not attract much attention. Most people's attention was focused on the remaining people who were participating in the innate talent assessment.
Two more people were tested to possess green Innate Spiritual Roots.
"Green Innate Spiritual Roots …"
Duan Lingtian's eyes were filled with envy when he looked at the two people who possessed green Innate Spiritual Roots. After all, he only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. It was a level lower than a green Innate Spiritual Root.
After the innate talent assessment ended, it was time for the strength assessment.
The strength assessment was divided into two batches.
One of the batches was for those who possessed green Innate Spiritual Roots. Their assessment was easier. As long as one's cultivation base was at the Divine Saint Stage or above, one would be able to pass.
The other batch was for those who possessed yellow Innate Spiritual Roots. Compared to the former batch, their assessment was much more difficult. Those who did not possess a cultivation base at the Exemplary Saint Stage or above would not be able to pass.
"Those who possess green Innate Spiritual Roots, follow me."
At the same time, the Black Turtle Sanctum's Silver Flame Elder Li An spoke. After he finished speaking, he brought nine people with green Innate Spiritual Roots, including Gu Chun.
He was in charge of this batch of people's assessment.
Before Li An left, he did not forget to look at Duan Lingtian coldly with killing intent in his eyes.
However, he was ignored by Duan Lingtian.
This caused Li An's expression to turn even darker. It was as though he was about to leave with his people.
