There was an ironclad rule in the Upper Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Anyone with a blue Innate Spiritual Root or above would definitely be able to enter the Saint Celestial Stage as long as they cultivated diligently.
The Saint Celestial Stage was the last stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land.
Powerhouses who had entered the Saint Celestial Stage were those who stood at the peak of the Dao Martial Saint Land.
"Brother Gu Long, according to the rules of Zoroastrianism, those who possess a blue Innate Spiritual Root or above can join the Zoroastrianism without taking the test … Those who have just joined the Zoroastrianism will usually stay in the Four Symbols Sanctums first."
The Bronze Flame Elder's attitude became even more enthusiastic when he discovered Gu Long possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root.
When the Bronze Flame Elder reached the end of his sentence, he even took the initiative to recommend, "Our Black Turtle Sanctum is one of the Four Symbols Sanctums. The number one defensive martial tactic, the Black Turtle's Barrier, is in our Black Turtle Sanctum. Why don't you stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum first, Brother Gu Long? "
The moment he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Long expectantly, hoping Gu Long would stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum.
If Gu Long stayed in the Black Turtle Sanctum, he would be able to recommend this martial genius who possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root to the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum.
He believed the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum would be interested in Gu Long and might even take him in as his direct disciple.
At that time, as long as the Sanctum Leader was happy, he would definitely benefit greatly.
"I'll go to whichever Sanctum my cousin is in!"
Gu Long said indifferently, ignoring the Bronze Flame Elder's enthusiasm.
He was a genius who possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root. He had great potential. His future achievements would not be something this Bronze Flame Elder could compare to.
Due to this reason, Gu Long was very casual when he spoke to this Bronze Flame Elder.
The Bronze Flame Elder who thought Gu Long would agree to his request was stunned when he heard Gu Long's words. He asked, "May I know who your cousin is, Brother Gu Long?"
"His name is Gu Chun, and he possesses a green Innate Spiritual Root. Two months ago, he came to participate in the assessment of the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism! If I'm not mistaken, he should have become the disciple of one of the Four Symbols Sanctums' Silver Flame Elders. I came to the Zoroastrianism with the intention of becoming the disciple of one of the Silver Flame Elders. "
When Gu Chun was mentioned, a rare wisp of doting appeared in the depths of Gu Long's unruly and fearless eyes.
A few months ago, before Gu Long and Gu Chun decided to come to Zoroastrianism, they had agreed that they would take the same person as their teacher when they came to Zoroastrianism.
In order to take care of his cousin Gu Chun, Gu Long did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to become the disciple of a Golden Flame Elder.
He told Gu Chun to find a Silver Flame Elder and become his disciple after he entered the Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism.
If that Silver Flame Elder did not like Gu Chun, Gu Chun could use him.
He believed that as long as he was willing to become the disciple of a Silver Flame Elder in the Zoroastrianism, that Silver Flame Elder would definitely give him face and accept Gu Chun as his disciple.
His confidence came from his Innate Spiritual Root, the blue Innate Spiritual Root!
The blue Innate Spiritual Root was the biggest bargaining chip in his hand. It was a bargaining chip that no Silver Flame Elder in the Zoroastrianism could refuse.
"Y-You're Gu Chun's cousin?"
The Bronze Flame Elder could not help but widen his eyes when he heard Gu Long's words. At the same time, a shocked expression appeared on his face as though he had just learned something shocking.
Naturally, he had heard of Gu Chun before.
The Four Symbols Sanctums of Zoroastrianism would recruit disciples once every three years. The most recent recruitment was less than two months ago.
This time, among the few Silver Flame Elders in the Black Turtle Sanctum, only Li An had accepted a direct disciple.
Due to this reason, the group of Bronze Flame Elders, including him, found it strange.
Elder Li An was the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder. He had always had high standards. Although he had accepted three direct disciples in the past, all three of them were martial geniuses who possessed blue Innate Spiritual Roots.
When they learned that Li An had accepted Gu Chun, a person who possessed a green Innate Spiritual Root, as his direct disciple, they were puzzled. They could not figure out why Li An's standards had changed so much.
However, when he saw Gu Long and heard his words, he immediately had an answer in his heart.
'No wonder … No wonder Elder Li An accepted Gu Chun as his direct disciple! As it turns out, he accepted Gu Chun because of Gu Long. '
This was the answer in the Bronze Flame Elder's heart.
Gu Long was a martial genius who possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root. If he was willing to accept Li An as his master, Li An would, naturally, not mind accepting Gu Chun as his disciple for Gu Long's sake.
At the same time, the Bronze Flame Elder sighed in disappointment.
However, it seemed like it was impossible for him to recommend this person to the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum.
Perhaps, the Sanctum Leader might be interested in a martial genius who possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root, but it was not to the point where he would lower himself to compete with a Silver Flame Elder under his command.
Unless the person was a monstrous genius who possessed an indigo Innate Spiritual Root.
However, a monstrous genius with an indigo Innate Spiritual Root who could even tempt the Sect Leader of the Zoroastrianism, the Silver Flame Elder would not be so presumptuous as to accept such a person as his disciple.
"What? Elder, you know my cousin? "
Gu Long asked with a glint in his eyes when he heard the Bronze Flame Elder's words and saw the surprised expression on his face.
"Yes."
The Bronze Flame Elder nodded. "Your cousin is currently a disciple of our Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Elder Li An."
"Elder Li An? The Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder? "
Gu Long nodded inwardly when he heard this.
It seemed like his cousin had good taste. He actually managed to become a disciple of the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder.
However, your cousin is currently in a bad condition … "The Bronze Flame Elder continued to say.
The Bronze Flame Elder said as he carefully glanced at Gu Long.
A month ago, news of what happened in the residence of a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple had spread throughout the Black Turtle Sanctum, the Four Symbols Sanctums, and even the Saint Land.
It was none other than Gu Long.
For some reason, Gu Chun, the new direct disciple of the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder, Li An, had lost his Innate Spiritual Root. It had disappeared without a trace.
Gu Chun's soul was fine even though his Innate Spiritual Root was gone.
Even a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage would not be able to do that.
For this reason, this matter had become an unsolved case in the Four Symbols Sanctums since a month ago. Gu Chun's name had spread throughout the Zoroastrianism because of this.
Naturally, if Gu Chun had a choice, he would rather not have such a reputation.
This was because the price of such a reputation was too high.
Without an Innate Spiritual Root, it would be difficult for one's cultivation base to improve for the rest of one's life.
It was equivalent to ruining one's life!
"What happened to my cousin?!"
Upon hearing the Bronze Flame Elder's words, Gu Long realized something had happened to his cousin. Horror dawned on his face immediately.
Although Gu Chun was only his cousin, in his heart, Gu Chun was more important than his own younger brother!
He had lost his parents when he was young. It was Gu Chun's father who raised him.
Later on, Gu Chun's father had died in an accident to save him.
From then on, he had played the role of a father and brother to Gu Chun.
Naturally, he panicked when he learned something had happened to Gu Chun.
"I'll send you to the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples … Let's talk about Gu Chun as we walk."
After the Bronze Flame Elder asked the patrolling disciples behind him to leave, he brought Gu Long to the west of the Black Turtle Sanctum.
That was where the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples lived.
"This is the uniform of a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple."
Along the way, the Bronze Flame Elder gave Gu Long the uniform of a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple.
"Elder, what happened to my cousin?"
Even when Gu Long reached out to take the uniform of a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, he did not look away from the Bronze Flame Elder. A hint of worry could be seen in the depth of his eyes.
"His Innate Spiritual Root is gone!"
The Bronze Flame Elder said with a sigh.
His Innate Spiritual Root was gone!
When Gu Long heard the Bronze Flame Elder's words, it was as though he had been struck by lightning. Horror dawned on him as his eyes turned red. A ruthless aura began to emanate from his body.
"His Innate Spiritual Root is gone?"
Gu Long asked in a hoarse voice after a long while. His voice was cold as though it came from an ice cave. "What happened? How did his Innate Spiritual Root disappear just like that? Who did it?! "
Naturally, Gu Long knew what it meant to have his Innate Spiritual Root disappear.
For this reason, he could imagine how desperate his cousin must be right now.
"I don't know exactly how it disappeared. I'm not the only one who doesn't know. Even Gu Chun doesn't know about it."
Upon hearing Gu Long's words, the Bronze Flame Elder was stunned for a moment before he smiled wryly.
"He doesn't know about it either?"
Gu Long was dumbfounded. The ruthless aura on his body disappeared immediately.
Initially, he thought his cousin's Innate Spiritual Root was stolen by someone, and that was why he was so angry. However, when he heard the Bronze Flame Elder's words, he felt helpless.
Under the Bronze Flame Elder's lead, Gu Long arrived at the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples.
After the Bronze Flame Elder learned about Gu Chun's Tertius house from a Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple, he bade farewell to Gu Long and left. Gu Long, on the other hand, stepped on the air and landed outside the Tertius house.
"Who's he?"
"I don't think he's familiar … The Bronze Flame Elder brought him here."
"It seems like he's here to look for Gu Chun."
…
Gu Long's appearance naturally attracted the attention of many Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples.
Gu Long knocked on the door, and it was quickly opened.
"Brother!"
When Gu Chun opened the door and saw Gu Long, his originally pale face lit up immediately. It was as though he had seen his last hope. He pounced on Gu Long excitedly and hugged him tightly.
"Brother! You must avenge me! You must avenge me! "
Before Gu Long could say anything, Gu Chun spoke again. His voice was filled with hysteria and madness.
