Mortal: Fishing the Heavenly Dao to Become the Ancestor of the Five Elements

Chapter 18: Ascension Conference, Testing Spiritual Roots

The flying boat was moving very fast. In less than an incense stick of time, the two of them arrived near Tianwu Terrace where the Ascension Conference was held.

With the previous experience as a lesson, Qin Tian decisively changed his black robe and mask into a normal black robe with gold patterns and a golden crown on his head.

With his heroic face and sharp eyebrows, he looks like a handsome young master from a noble family.

"Fellow Daoist, you..." Han Li was startled. It's over. You showed me your true face. Are you going to kill me to silence me?

After all, he had been in a secular sect before, so he knew that there were some things that could not be revealed, and if they were revealed, it would mean something bad would happen.

"I'm going to attend the Ascension Conference, so naturally I have to attend with my real identity." Seeing Han Li's obviously panicked expression, Qin Tian had no idea what the other party was thinking. He was speechless in his heart, but still gave a brief explanation.

"So that's how it is." Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. It was so scary!!!

"go!"

The flying boat landed gently near the magic circle.

Then the two of them collected the flying boats, used their magic power and walked into the formation.

As soon as they entered, the two saw many people, at least several thousand people, all of whom were independent cultivators.

I’m afraid most of the independent cultivators in the entire Yue Kingdom are here.

There are only two purposes for so many people coming here. First, to join the seven major sects, and second, to obtain the foundation-building pill.

As the spiritual energy of the Tiannan Continent declined, resources became increasingly scarce. There was only one place in the entire Yue Kingdom where spiritual medicines for refining foundation-building pills could be obtained, and that was the Blood Forbidden Land.

The Blood Forbidden Land is jointly controlled by the seven major sects and is opened only once every five years. Independent cultivators are not qualified to enter.

In this way, Yue State's foundation-building pill was also controlled by the seven major sects.

The reason for holding this Ascension Conference is simply because they are worried that the independent cultivators will feel that their path to immortality has been interrupted and will cause trouble.

In short, the Ascension Conference is the only hope that the seven major sects give to the independent cultivators of Yue State to build their foundation.

As for the people at the bottom, now that they have hope and are suppressed by power, they dare not act recklessly.

According to the calculation over the past sixty years, the seven major sects in total can obtain about one thousand Foundation Establishment Pills, while the quota for independent cultivators is about seventy, and the rest are consumed internally by the seven major sects.

A thousand foundation-building pills may seem like a lot, but they are actually not many. Not to mention that one pill may not lead to successful foundation-building, even if the seven major sects divide it up, each sect can only get more than a hundred pills.

Taking into account the chance of failure, in sixty years, a sect can only add about thirty Foundation Establishment Stage experts at most.

There are seven huge squares in the center of Tianwutai, each of which represents a sect of immortal cultivation, and there is a tall arena inside.

This arena is the real ascension meeting for independent cultivators.

Only by becoming the top ten in each sect's battles can you obtain a foundation-building pill, and you need to join this sect.

There is a tall tower behind the seven squares. Inside the tower is the place for testing spiritual roots. As long as you have real spiritual roots, you can directly join the sect, but you will not get the foundation-building pill.

If one has natural spiritual roots or special spiritual roots, there is no need to do anything. As long as one joins the sect, the sect will naturally give priority to the use of the foundation-building pill.

Half a day later.

noon.

The flying boats of the seven major sects arrived slowly.

"Look, the seven major sects are here."

"Wow, what a big ship!"

"Bah, that's called a flying boat, do you understand, you country bumpkin?"

"Look, every fairy from the Moon-Shattering Sect is of top quality."

"I heard that dual cultivation among male and female disciples is popular in the Yanyue Sect. I don't know if it's true or not. It would be great if I could join the Yanyue Sect."

"As for you, don't you know that the Yanyue Sect has a requirement for accepting disciples, that is, they must have excellent appearance. You are a defective product."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Dear fellow Taoists, welcome to this year's Ascension Conference. This Ascension Conference is hosted by our Yanyue Sect."

As soon as the words fell, everyone saw a young woman in palace attire appear in mid-air. "I am the Elder of the Yanyue Sect. I declare the Ascension Conference officially open."

"As usual, the Immortal Ascension Conference is divided into two parts. The first part will begin now. Those with excellent spiritual roots can enter the building for testing. As long as they pass the test, they can join one of the seven major sects."

"Now, the test begins."

After saying that, he turned into a beam of light and flew towards the innermost building.

At the same time, among the thousands of people present, there were also dozens of independent cultivators who followed suit.

"Huh, this is a Jindan Zhenren. Even without emitting any aura, he is still terrifying."

"Yes."

"Brother Yang, you have three spiritual roots, aren't you going?"

"Alas, I was born at the wrong time. Although I have three spiritual roots, I embarked on the path to immortality too late. Now I am fifty-eight years old. The seven major sects will not accept me."

"Pity."

"It's okay. With my tenth-level Qi training, I'm still qualified to participate in the arena battle."

Qin Tian also prepared to go in and take a look. After all, he was a person with a special physique. In the later period, in the spiritual world and the immortal world, special physique was the king.

"Don't look anymore, everyone has left." Qin Tian looked speechlessly at Han Li who was staring at the air with a dazed look on his face.

"what?"

"Oh."

Han Li quickly collected his thoughts and said, "Daoyou, is that a Jindan Zhenren?"

"I know you're still looking at me. I'm leaving." Qin Tian didn't understand Han Li's love at first sight for Nangong Wan, and he had no interest in Nangong Wan. After all, the world of immortal cultivation is not short of top-notch beauties.

The most important thing is that the cause and effect between Nangong Wan and Han Li is too deep, and Qin Tian doesn't want to cause trouble.

Han Li saw Qin Tian flying away and quickly followed.

The other wandering cultivators all waited where they were, not daring to go in and embarrass themselves.

After entering the building, Qin Tian and Han Li saw the seven Jindan elders sitting at the top.

Nangong Wan stood up with a face scarf on and threw seven white spirit-detecting balls into the air below.

In an instant, seven people rushed to grab the spirit ball in mid-air.

"Dong Xuan'er, dual water and wood spiritual roots, passed."

"Qian Duobao, dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, passed."

"."

Han Li looked at these people with envy, while Qin Tian was speechless. Wow, every one of them was a descendant of the seven major sects.

"Lu Yunfeng, wind-type spiritual root, passed."

"Oh my god, a different spiritual root! This is a different spiritual root whose cultivation speed is only one level lower than that of a natural spiritual root."

"Yeah, this class is really full of Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons."

The wandering cultivators were whispering to each other.

"Chen Qiaoqian, dual spiritual roots of water and earth, passed."

"Oh, how boring! This is a piece of cake for me." Lu Yunfeng said disdainfully, then turned and looked at Han Li: "Boy, you must be scared. It seems that your spiritual roots must not be very good. Hahahahahahahahaha."

Han Li clenched his fists. He didn't expect that this person was so narrow-minded and vindictive. He just bought a very broken fragment of a magic weapon that could turn things invisible from the other party. It was worth very little, only ten spirit stones.

"Give him the ball." Lu Yunfeng clasped his arms.

Chen Qiaoqian threw the spirit ball over and Han Li jumped to catch it.
