"Swallowing other people's 'talented spiritual roots' and strengthening your own 'talented spiritual roots'?"
Hearing Huo Lao's words, Duan Lingtian's eyes lit up.
If this method works, it might not be a 'shortcut'!
At least, it's much more reliable than looking for those illusory spiritual beings.
"Well, it means swallowing other people's innate spiritual roots."
Huo Lao responded, "However, this method is just a 'theory' at the moment. Whether it works or not, you still need to practice it yourself! In addition, if it works, the person who has been devoured by you will also completely lose their talent. Spiritual roots.”
"If it's a dead person, it doesn't matter... If it's a living person, after your innate spiritual roots are swallowed up, you can only stand still in this life, and you can't make any progress in your cultivation."
Huo Lao continued.
Duan Lingtian nodded.
Although, devouring other people's innate spiritual roots sounds a bit cruel.
But he will not devour the innate spiritual roots of others for no reason. He will only devour the innate spiritual roots of those who deserve to die and those who provoke him.
That way he won't feel guilty!
Although this world emphasizes respect for the strong and natural selection, Duan Lingtian still retains the 'humanity' that humans should have in his heart.
If there is no humanity left, what is the difference between them and cold-blooded animals?
The reason why people are human is because they have humanity!
Because of this, even if the method of using the 'Small Swallowing Technique' to enhance one's natural spiritual roots sounds a bit cruel, Duan Lingtian does not reject it. Anyway, he will not just devour other people's natural spiritual roots.
He will only devour the innate spiritual roots of those damned people!
For example, Ang Lee!
In an instant, Duan Lingtian raised his head and stared at the Silver Flame elder of Xuanwu Altar, Li An, who was looking down at him with contempt. "However, with my current strength, it is difficult for me to get close to him, let alone swallow him." His innate spiritual roots...strength still requires strength. My current strength is too weak!"
Facing Li An, even though Duan Lingtian is now very strong, he still feels powerless.
Li An is not only a powerful person in the Holy Immortal Realm, but also one of the top 300 people in the "Ultimate Saint List", which is beyond comparison with him now.
Even if he uses the 'Rose Immortal Sword', he won't be able to hurt Li An even a hair. Instead, he will be killed by Li An.
The gap between him and Ang Lee now is too big!
"However, even if I pass the assessment and stay in Xuanwu Altar, Li An will definitely not take action against me personally... If I show the 'blue spiritual root' talent that is valued by the leader of the Zoroastrian Cult, he will definitely take the risk! And now! , seeing that my innate spiritual root is only a 'yellow spiritual root', in his eyes my life is worthless and not worth his risk."
It's also Li An who doesn't know what Duan Lingtian is thinking now, otherwise he would definitely be shocked and inexplicable.
Just because that's what he really thought.
Originally, Li An had already been mentally prepared. Once Duan Lingtian's innate spiritual root was tested and found to be a 'blue spiritual root', then he would take the risk and kill Duan Lingtian to avoid future troubles!
But now, seeing that Duan Lingtian's innate spiritual root is just the most common 'yellow spiritual root' in the Zoroastrian Cult, he no longer regards Duan Lingtian as a threat.
He's just an old guy who hides his age and has low talent...
If such a person were asked to do it himself, he would think his hands were dirty!
"However, even if Li An doesn't take the risk to do it himself, he will definitely let others deal with me... and the fifth elder of the Northern Qi Sect, 'Yang Chong', will definitely find ways to deal with me. When the time comes, I can devour them first Use the innate spiritual roots of the people sent to deal with me to strengthen your own innate spiritual roots!"
Thinking of this, Duan Lingtian couldn't help but get excited.
He even desperately hopes that Li An and Yang Chong will send someone to deal with him quickly!
"Is it too early for me to think so much now? Mr. Huo has said that the matter of the Small Devouring Technique swallowing up the innate spiritual roots is still just a 'theory'. He thinks it is theoretically feasible. In practice, can the Small Devouring Technique, whether I can successfully devour the innate spiritual roots of others and strengthen my own spiritual roots, but it is not certain yet."
As soon as he thought of this, Duan Lingtian felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and he suddenly became much more awake.
Now that the test was over, Duan Lingtian naturally retreated.
Different from before, now that Duan Lingtian's innate spiritual root is only a 'yellow spiritual root', few people around him pay attention to Duan Lingtian.
In the eyes of most people around:
Duan Lingtian is just as mediocre as them.
It doesn't deserve their attention at all!
Now, they completely regard Duan Lingtian as someone who uses secret techniques to hide his true age to gain favor, and they even look down on Duan Lingtian from the bottom of their hearts!
"I'm so young and still pretending to be young, bah!"
Some people glanced at Duan Lingtian inadvertently and said "poof" with disgust on their faces.
"It's okay for a scholar to pretend to be young...the problem is that he pretends to be so outrageous! Even the two Yin Yan elders in the Xuanwu Altar were deceived by him, thinking that he was some peerless genius. In the end, when the talent assessment comes, it's not True colors revealed?"
"This kind of person is so disgusting! I thought I met a peerless genius from the younger generation, but I didn't expect it to be an old immortal who pretends to be young by relying on secret skills!"
"According to me, this kind of person should go to the 18th level of hell! It's so disgusting."
…
Although few people paid attention to Duan Lingtian anymore, the few people who paid attention to Duan Lingtian were not polite at all and mocked Duan Lingtian to their heart's content.
"These people..."
Duan Lingtian frowned, glanced at the people who were mocking him, and showed displeasure, "I don't seem to know them, and I didn't offend them, right? Not to mention that I didn't pretend to be naive, even if I really pretended to be naive, They just complained a few words...and now, they even say that they want me to go to hell?"
The people who mocked Duan Lingtian were standing not far away from Duan Lingtian. When they saw Duan Lingtian frowning, they all showed disdain on their faces.
"What are you looking at? Lao Immortal, tell me a few words, are you still not convinced?"
One of them looked at Duan Lingtian with a sneer on his lips.
If Duan Lingtian is a peerless genius with 'green spiritual roots' or even 'blue spiritual roots', forget it, he can't afford to offend him.
But now that he knew that Duan Lingtian's innate spiritual root was only a 'yellow spiritual root', which was inferior to him, he naturally had no scruples and even wanted to suppress Duan Lingtian and gain some limelight.
Maybe we can also please the number one Silver Flame elder in Xuanwu Altar, 'Li An', why not?
"Keep your mouth clean!"
Duan Lingtian's face darkened and he said coldly.
He had the impression that this person was one of the few people whose innate spiritual roots were tested to be 'green spiritual roots'. He was a middle-aged man with a ferocious face, and his name seemed to be 'Gu Chun'.
At this moment, when Gu Chun looked at Duan Lingtian, his face was filled with a cold and cruel smile, as if Duan Lingtian had some deep grudge against him.
"You, a martial artist with a yellow spiritual root talent, dare to show your temper in front of me? Dare you talk back to me?"
Gu Chun was startled.
Almost at the moment when Gu Chun's voice fell, a person not far away laughed and said in order to avoid chaos in the world: "Gu Chun, don't forget, he even dared to kill Yang Wu, the son of the fifth elder of Beiqi Sect. How could you, a casual cultivator, be taken seriously by him?"
Hearing this man's words, Gu Chun finally remembered that the Duan Lingtian in front of him had killed the son of the fifth elder of Beiqi Sect yesterday!
For a moment, he felt a little fearful for no reason.
Maybe the other person is not as talented as him.
But judging from what the other party did yesterday, the other party is definitely a 'cruel person', otherwise it would be impossible to offend Elder Li An and kill Yang Wu!
For a moment, Gu Chun's expression changed, and he was no longer as aggressive as before.
He was scared after all.
Seeing Gu Chun's current expression, Duan Lingtian couldn't guess what he was thinking, and a hint of disdain could not help but appear on his lips.
After giving Gu Chun a faint glance, he no longer looked at Gu Chun, and then his eyes fell on the four people who were taking part in the talent assessment.
Sensing Duan Lingtian's disdainful gaze, Gu Chun felt extremely humiliated. He clenched his fists, his body trembled, and his teeth were almost broken with hatred! !
However, he finally endured it.
Although he was a martial arts cultivator in the early stage of the Earth Saint Realm, he did not dare to act rashly before he had figured out the 'ins and outs' of the other party.
Who knows if this Duan Lingtian is an existence above the middle stage of the Earth Saint Realm!
"Duan Lingtian, my talent is higher than yours. Even if I am not as good as you now, sooner or later, I will trample you under my feet and make you kneel down and beg for mercy!!"
Gu Chun kept roaring in his heart, venting his inner frustration and annoyance.
The small conflict between Duan Lingtian and Gu Chun did not attract many people's attention. Most people's eyes still fell on the field, watching the remaining people conduct talent assessments.
Later, two more people were tested and found to have 'green spiritual roots'.
"Green spiritual roots..."
Looking at the two people with green spiritual roots, Duan Lingtian's eyes were full of envy. After all, his innate spiritual roots were only 'yellow spiritual roots', one level lower than the green spiritual roots.
After the talent assessment is over, there is the strength assessment.
The strength assessment will be conducted in two batches.
One of the batches is an assessment for people with "green spiritual roots". Their assessment is relatively simple. As long as someone has a cultivation level above the holy realm, almost everyone can pass.
The other batch is an assessment for people with 'yellow spiritual roots'. Compared with the former, their assessment is much more difficult. Without cultivation and strength above the Earth Saint realm, it is impossible to pass.
"Those who are gifted with green spiritual roots, come with me."
At the same time, Xuanwu Altar Silver Flame Elder 'Li An' spoke, and after the words fell, he also took away nine people with green spiritual roots, including 'Gu Chun'.
He is responsible for the assessment of this group of people.
The moment before Li An left, he glanced at Duan Lingtian coldly with murderous intent in his eyes.
However, Duan Lingtian ignored him.
This made Li An's face become even more gloomy, and he almost led the people away with a cold face.
