As Su Wanqing placed her right hand on the Mirror of Meeting, her innate informational abilities manifested as a flowing rainbow, which was clearly visible to all the elders present in the Old Xuan Hall.

"How is that possible? A peerless genius capable of directly forming a Soul Core—how could that be considered a top-grade spiritual root?"

"So what? I think it's reasonable. Don't forget, our Shengdan Academy is an outsider! The standards for judging spiritual roots set by the peak Daoist lineage are nothing special in the eyes of our Shengdan Academy."

"Really... wait, the iridescent color has changed again!"

"As expected, it's a Heavenly Spiritual Root! Hmph, I knew it! A top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root! A spiritual root that appears only once every thousand years in the Immortal Realm. Only a spiritual root like this can bear the Dao of Life-Giving Core in our academy."

"So what if it's a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root? If we're really talking about it, aren't there any top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Roots among the Five Great Immortal Sects? And which of them can cultivate their sect's technique to minor mastery in just one day? It's not like it happens only once in a thousand years. What does a mere top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root prove? I'll say it again: the standards of Heaven's judgment are not applicable to my path of cultivating the elixir!"

"Hehe... How can you say that? The Heavenly Dao is ultimately the Dao of the Immortal Realm. Wasn't the first sect leader also a top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root? Although the second sect leader ascended, he suffered countless hardships on the Immortal-Demon Battlefield because of the burden of his first-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root. I think spiritual roots are still very important."

"Pedantic."

"What did you say?! I think you've lost your mind!"

"Stop arguing, keep watching, the shimmering light on the face has changed again!"

"What?"

"Holy crap! I'm a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root! A dual Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root! It's so good to be alive, to be able to witness such a monstrous spiritual root being reborn before I die."

"I remember that this type of spiritual root doesn't exist in the Immortal Realm anymore, right?"

"It exists? How could it not exist? The Divine Heart Sect, one of the five great immortal sects, has a sect leader, the Divine Heart Immortal Venerable, who possesses dual spiritual roots of heaven and earth—a unique existence in the current immortal realm!"

"Is that the Divine Heart Immortal Venerable who rose to fame during the war between immortals and demons? I remember his name was something like... Peng Qingyuan! Yes, that's his name."

"What it's called doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that the Immortal Realm now has a second person with dual spiritual roots of Heaven and Earth. And even more importantly, this second person with dual spiritual roots of Heaven and Earth is a disciple of our Sheng Dan Academy, whom we have personally witnessed. Just thinking about it is exciting!"

"Where did that person who was just looking down on spiritual root talent go? I remember that person was supposed to have a top-grade spiritual root, right? He wasn't even a true earth spiritual root."

"roll!"

"I advise you to stop making sweeping generalizations! How many of you in the Old Profound Palace actually have Earth Spiritual Roots? Aren't you all cultivators who started with the Five Elements Spiritual Roots? What are you saying, spouting nonsense?"

"Okay, okay, I got it. I was just teasing him..."

"That's not all... wait, the color variations are changing again!"

"What!?"

Under everyone's gaze, the colorful light above Su Wanqing's head underwent a new change.

A pure white spiritual line, symbolizing a top-grade spiritual root, encircled Su Wanqing's body, while a yellow halo, symbolizing the earth element, and a blue halo, symbolizing the heaven element, were clearly attached to it, radiating an arrogant light. But suddenly, this light dimmed. No more halos appeared; only the three colors—pure white, pure blue, and pure yellow—all faded.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Elder Muyun spoke first: "It's not dim, but gentle."

"Gentle?" Qingfeng stared intently at Su Wanqing's face, but couldn't make heads or tails of it.

Elder Chishong, who had been scrutinizing Su Wanqing's talent information for a long time, tentatively asked, "Could it be the second attribute of a spiritual root?"

"It certainly won't be the first attribute of the Five Elements anymore, otherwise there would be more colors on the spiritual lines; therefore, it can't be the third attribute of returning to the Five Elements either." Elder Yuehu frowned as he looked at the changing spiritual lines on Su Wanqing's body. "Second attribute... I can think of about five or six second attributes that match the dual spiritual roots of Heaven and Earth... Muyun, what do you think?"

"It's still unclear what's going on, but I think the attribute that best matches the current situation is... either wind or flow."

"Flow attribute? Tsk, if that's the case, it'll be even more difficult," Elder Chishong clicked his tongue. "While the flow attribute is powerful, it's absolutely unsuitable for dual spiritual roots of heaven and earth. To combine all three would be an absolute waste of resources."

"Chishong is right. Wind attribute is about 70% compatible with dual Heaven and Earth spiritual roots. I hope this child's spiritual root attribute is wind."

"Hmm." Elder Yuehu nodded slightly.

As the dynamics of the meeting continued to evolve, more information about Su Wanqing's talents gradually emerged.

"As expected of someone with dual spiritual roots of heaven and earth, their innate characteristics are terrifyingly powerful..."

"No bottlenecks in advancing cultivation realms, unlimited spiritual energy reserves in the dantian, and no loss in the efficiency of spiritual energy absorption... This is exaggerated, it's really exaggerated."

"So it turns out that the Divine Heart Immortal Venerable possesses such talent; no wonder he was able to achieve the Great Ascension stage after a thousand years."

"Wait a minute, I understand the first three innate characteristics you just mentioned, but can someone tell me what it means to have a free and unwavering primordial spirit and an unshakable immortal heart? Seriously, can someone translate this for me? I'm really afraid I've misunderstood it."

"...It seems to mean exactly what it says? A free and unwavering primordial spirit and an unshakable immortal heart...From now on, Su Wanqing can smoothly overcome the hardships that normal cultivators must go through, such as inner demons, illusions, illusions, internal conflicts, and tribulations, as if nothing has happened...That should be the meaning."

"Oh my god..."

"Alright, stop lamenting. The acquired meridians of the spiritual root have manifested. Before the core returns to its original state, let's hurry up and witness the true prodigy."

"With the three souls stabilizing the meridians and the seven spirits solidifying the essence, and with such heaven-defying innate characteristics as the primordial spirit being free and the immortal heart unshakable, I feel that this steady and solid acquired meridians are somewhat dim and lackluster."

"Stop joking, it's just a comparison. Take 'Three Souls Stabilizing the Meridians and Seven Spirits Strengthening the Origin' as an example. Even if you put it in the inner sect of the entire Shengdan Academy, it would be considered a talent that only the most outstanding disciples possess."

"good."

"It's truly remarkable. I originally thought that such a young genius's acquired spiritual roots would be unrestrained and arrogant, but I never expected such a stable and unwavering state. Not only is the second son gifted, but his temperament is also exceptionally rare."

"The Three Souls Stabilize the Meridians, the Seven Spirits Strengthen the Origin... Let me think... Among the three complete immortal techniques collected in the Ancient Alchemy Scripture Pavilion, there should be one suitable for her. If not, how about having Yue Hu go to Longmen to ask for it?"

"I think it's a good idea. Su Wanqing's acquired meridians are clearly suitable for cultivating the ancient pure yang method. This kind of technique is probably the most abundant in the Longmen Library."

......

Amidst the discussions among the Supreme Elders of the Old Xuan Hall, Su Wanqing's spiritual root test gradually came to an end.

However, one question has been troubling the three Supreme Elders, Chisong, Yuehu, and Muyun. The Immortal Treasure Faceless has already fully calculated Su Wanqing's talent, and all information about her spiritual root has been expressed through the flowing colored spiritual threads. However, the Immortal Treasure only expresses the information through the spiritual threads and does not interpret it for everyone.

Just now, Su Wanqing's radiance gradually softened and became more restrained. What was the reason for this? For a moment, no one had a clue.

"So, it's wind attribute?" Elder Chishong asked Elder Muyun.

"If it were wind-attribute, it should have formed its own line by the end... It seems that flow-attribute is more likely."

"Sigh..." Elder Yuehu sighed almost imperceptibly, clearly agreeing with Elder Muyun's opinion.

"What kind of spiritual root?" Just as the three Supreme Elders were exchanging words, a lazy voice came from the doorway outside the Old Profound Hall.

"Who?" Following the voice, Elder Yuehu was the first to focus his thoughts on the person who had entered.

"Hehe, it's me. Teacher Yuehu, I didn't expect you to still be alive." At the entrance of the Old Xuan Hall, Jian Chen, who was not dressed in any particular style, pushed open the door and waved to Elder Yuehu with a smile. Beside him, a handsome middle-aged man dressed in heavy armor stood straight to Jian Chen's left.

"Jianfeng, Jianchen, you've finally arrived," Qingfeng said.

"What a pity, it seems you've missed a good show," Qingyue said with a smile.

"How could we miss it?" Jian Feng slightly raised the corners of his mouth, flexed his wrist, wiped the bloodstains on his arm guard, and laughed, "The energy of a genius is greater than you imagine. Even though he wasn't in the Old Xuan Palace, Jian Chen and I could still feel the clear and refreshing spiritual energy fluctuations. This is different from everyone else here, a refreshing and sweet aura that is invigorating."

"What metaphor?" Qingyue smiled and shook her head.

"So they weren't dead? Then who exactly is Jian Shan..." Looking at the two who arrived late, Elder Chisong's thoughts began to linger on Jian Shan again. He had originally thought that Jian Shan had refined Jian Feng and Jian Chen, which was why he had gained cultivation comparable to the Supreme Elder of the Old Profound Palace. Now it seemed that he was wrong.

"So, teacher, what were you just saying? Flowing spiritual root? What's that?" Walking briskly towards the crowd, Jian Chen blinked and asked Yue Hu.

"This child's spiritual root attributes," Elder Yuehu replied.

This child possesses an exceptional spiritual root that perfectly combines the qualities of Heaven and Earth, but beyond that, she also possesses a hidden attribute. The other two Supreme Elders and I unanimously believe that this hidden attribute is "Flow." Elder Muyun explained in even greater detail.

"Flow attribute? Isn't that the second attribute?" Elder Chen's doubts deepened. "But what the Flowing Colors show is that Su Wanqing's spiritual root's third attribute is clearly the fourth attribute."

"What?"

"What did you say?"

"Jian Chen, you mustn't speak carelessly," Jian Shan said in a deep voice from behind Jian Chen.

"I'm not talking nonsense," Jian Chen innocently glanced back at Jian Shan, and continued to explain to Elder Yue Hu, "Teacher, I am now the managing elder of the Ancient Pill Scripture Pavilion. I usually immerse myself in ancient scrolls and know the spiritual roots of those ancient powerful beings like the back of my hand. If I'm not mistaken, the spiritual lines that the flowing light of the meeting just now showed on this child should represent a fourth attribute of spiritual roots."

"What is your basis?" Elder Chishong asked, frowning.

"Based on?" Caught off guard by the question, Jian Chen's face instantly fell blank. After a moment, he countered, "What kind of basis do you need?"

"..." Jian Chen's words made Elder Chishong's face darken instantly, and he remained silent, not knowing what to say.

"Sigh... So what makes you think that Su Wanqing possesses a fourth attribute besides the Heaven and Earth Combination attribute?" Elder Muyun said patiently.

"Why should I? There's no reason why I shouldn't know. I just know."

"You! After all these years, you're still the same stupid person!" Elder Muyun pointed at Jian Chen's nose and cursed angrily, choked by Jian Chen's words.

"Forehead..."

"Go on," Elder Yuehu said, patting Elder Muyun on the shoulder.

"Oh. Teacher, if I remember correctly, judging from the changing colors of the face, this child's spiritual root attribute should include a pure attribute."

"Pure attribute?" Elder Yuehu frowned slightly, clearly he had never heard of this spiritual root attribute before.

"What is that?" Elder Chishong asked.

"This is a name I came across while flipping through scrolls when I had nothing to do. According to historical records, the Pure Attribute Spiritual Root is a fourth attribute that does not belong to the three major attributes of the Five Elements, the Derived Five Elements, or the Returned Five Elements. It is essentially an innate attribute. In other words, the three major attributes and the common fourth attribute spiritual roots are attributes that the spiritual root bestows upon the cultivator. However, the Pure Attribute Spiritual Root is the opposite. It appears because the cultivator's physical body nourishes the spiritual root, thus producing a derived attribute."

"..."

Jian Chen's words plunged everyone present into silence once again.

"What on earth is this guy saying?" Elder Chishong wondered to himself.

"Pure Spiritual Root? Pure Spiritual Root..." Elder Muyun murmured to himself, recalling the Pure Spiritual Root that Jian Chen had mentioned.

"...Do you remember where this Pure Spirit Root came from?" After a long silence, Elder Yuehu asked Jianchen.

"It comes from an ancient scroll from the Ancient Alchemy Pavilion," Jian Chen replied matter-of-factly.

"Sigh..." This time, it was Elder Muyun's turn to pat Elder Yuehu on the shoulder.

"Which reel?" Elder Yuehu pressed on, unwilling to give up.

"Um..." After thinking for a long time, Jian Chen said, "I forgot."

"..."

"But the students know who the person who truly possessed the Pure Spirit Root was, as recorded in the previous historical annals."

"Who?"

"The Blood Demon Era, the first female cultivator to ascend to immortality in the history of the Immortal Realm—the Ember Demon Venerable."
