Innate Spiritual Roots were hidden in the soul. Most of the time, even Saint Celestial Stage powerhouses who had achieved the Ninth Form would not be able to touch someone’s Innate Spiritual Roots without affecting that person’s soul. Once the Innate Spiritual Root was touched, the person’s soul might be destroyed! There was a method that would allow one to touch or tamper with Innate Spiritual Roots, but that method only existed in legends. At the very least, Li An had never heard of anyone mastering that kind of technique.

Master, the speed that I sense and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy now can’t even compare to someone with a red Innate Spiritual Root! My Innate Spiritual Root seems to have disappeared. Can you take a look and see if there’s a problem with my Innate Spiritual Root?
Gu Li explained with a bitter expression on his face when he saw the disbelief on Li An’s face. He was burning with anxiety when he finished speaking!

What?!
Li An was greatly shocked when he heard Gu Chun’s words. He could tell that Gu Chun was not lying. Apart from that, he believed Gu Chun did not dare to lie to him.

Don’t block my Divine Consciousness!
Li An snapped as he extended his Divine Consciousness and guided it into Gu Chun’s body before entering his soul.
As a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse, Li An could locate the Innate Spiritual Roots with his Divine Consciousness.


However, when his Divine Consciousness entered Gu Chun’s soul, he could not find his Innate Spiritual Root at all even after he searched for it high and low.
In the end, he came to a shocking conclusion. Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root had disappeared.

How did this happen?
Li An’s widened in disbelief and he had a shock expression on his face as he retracted his Divine Consciousness. His heart was in chaos as well.
He was certain Gu Chun had an Innate Spiritual Root. Not too long ago, he was there when Gu Chun participated in the innate talent assessment and was assessed by the Spiritual Pearl. He had seen with his own eyes when the Spiritual Pearl indicated that Gu Chun possessed a green Innate Spiritual Root!
However, currently, his Divine Consciousness could not find Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root in his soul at all!
There were only two possibilities that something like that would happen.
One, Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root was not in his soul but somewhere else.
Second, Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root had disappeared!
In Li An’s opinions, these two possibilities were absurd!
First of all, he had never heard of anyone whose Innate Spiritual Root was located anywhere else apart from in the soul. Second, he had also never heard of anyone’s Innate Spiritual Root disappearing without any rhyme or reason. Moreover, the person’s soul was not damaged at all.


Gu Chun’s expression turned horrified when he saw how surprised Li An was before he fell into a daze. However, he did not dare to disturb Gu Chun.
After a long while, he saw Li An still did not regain his senses. He called out weakly,
Maste…

However, he did not get to finish his sentence. Li An interrupted him.
Try again!

When Li An spoke, a Spiritual Pearl appeared in his hand suddenly. It was the Spiritual Pearl that was used to test one’s Innate Spiritual Root.
When Gu Chun saw the Spiritual Pearl, Gu Chun did not know why but he felt slightly uneasy. An ominous rose in his heart as well. After a while, he gritted his teeth and reached out to put his hand on the Spiritual Pearl.
Then, he held his breath as he stared intently at the Spiritual Pearl while he waited for the result.
The span of one breath passed…
The span of two breaths passed…
The span of three breaths passed by…
After ten breaths had passed, Gu Chun gasped.



Huh?
Gu Chun was shocked when he realized the Spiritual Pearl did not react at all even after ten breaths had passed.

Master, this is…
Gu Chun thought the Spiritual Pearl might be broken.
However, when he saw Li An putting his hand on the Spiritual Pearl, and after ten breaths, a light began to emit from the Spiritual Pearl, horror dawned on him immediately.
Gu Chun seemed to realize what was happening as he roared inwardly, ‘No! Impossible… Impossible! Impossible!’

If I’m not mistaken, your Innate Spiritual Root is gone!
Li An said as Gu Chun was roaring in his heart. He sentenced Gu Chun’s Innate Spiritual Root to death immediately with his words.
Boom!
Li An’s words killed the last shred of hope in Gu Chun’s heart. It caused his body to turn weak and collapse on the ground.

Why is it like this? Why is this happening to me? My Innate Spiritual Root is gone! It’s over! It’s over!
Gu Chun cried out in a low voice as he lay on the ground. He had a dismal expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

What happened to your Innate Spiritual Root? How can it just disappear?
Gu Chun only began to calm down when he heard Li An’s words.
When he calmed down, Duan Ling Tian’s face appeared in his mind again. He said through clenched teeth,
It’s Duan Ling Tian! It’s him! He’s the one who destroyed my Innate Spiritual Root!
He was shouting when he reached the end of his sentence.


Originally, Li An thought Gu Li had met with a mishap that caused him to lose his Innate Spiritual Root. However, he realized he was wrong when he heard Gu Chun’s words. Horror dawned on his face as he asked in disbelief,
Duan Ling Tian?


It’s him! He’s the one who destroyed my Innate Spiritual Root!
Gu Chun roared. He charged forward and hugged Li An’s legs as though Li An was his last hope.
Master, you must avenge me! You must seek revenge for me! I want Duan Ling Tian dead! I want him dead! I want to cut him into thousands of pieces and have his bones ground into dust! I want to catch his two companions so I can feed their meat to the dogs!
Gu Chun continued to howl. It was as though he was venting the pain he felt from losing his Innate Spiritual Root.
Losing one’s Innate Spiritual Root meant one could no longer walk on the cultivation path.
His innate talent was currently worse than someone with a red Innate Spiritual Root. He was destined to stay at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage, no longer be able to progress.
How could he accept this?

What happened? Tell me!
Li An asked in a low voice. He did not speak loudly, but the magic in his voice managed to overpower Gu Chun’s howling and shouting. It caused Gu Chun to fall silent.

Master, Duan Ling Tian…
Gu Chun began to recount what had happened to Li An, including the things he learned from the new disciples. He even told him about him passing out.

He went out of his way to block other people’s sights. It’s obvious he’s up to no good. It must have something to do the disappearance of my Innate Spiritual Root!
Gu Chun said through clenched teeth after he finished recounting what had happened.

What you said is not entirely without sense… It seems like the disappearance of your Innate Spiritual Root has something to do with Duan Ling Tian!
Li An’s eyes gleamed coldly as he emitted a killing intent.

Master, you must seek revenge for me!
Gu Chun begged sorrowfully as he looked at Gu Chun with anticipation in his eyes.



Don’t worry! If we can confirm Duan Ling Tian destroyed your Innate Spiritual Root, he’ll definitely die!
Li An replied coldly.

Isn’t it obvious?
When Gu Chun heard Li An said that they needed confirmation about this matter, he could not help but frown.
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as though he had turned lighter. As it turned out, Li An had brought him flying to the western area of the Black Turtle Sanctum where the disciples stayed.
Although there was still a distance to go before Li An arrived at the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple, he yelled angrily,
Duan Ling Tian!

His angry voice was filled with a rolling energy that swept out quickly. In just a blink of an eye, it spread to every nook and cranny in the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples.
All the disciples, including those who were in closed-door cultivation, heard Li An’s voice.
One by one, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples walked out of the Quartus houses. From afar, they looked like black clouds. There were at least several thousands of them.
Meanwhile, many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples from the Tertius house also began to come out. There were several hundreds of them.
Apart from that, several dozens of people from the Secundus house also came out.
There were no movements at all in the Primus houses that were located at the top.

What happened?


Who did Duan Ling Tian offend this time?


This voice sounds a little familiar, no?

Li An’s had spoken in the distance so he had not appeared yet. For this reason, the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples were puzzled.
A Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple who walked out of a Tertius house seemed to recall something. His eyes brightened as he exclaimed,
I know that voice! It’s Elder Li An’s voice!

Although his voice was not loud, many people still heard his words.
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred, and a hundred spread to a thousand.
After a few moments, all Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples who came out to have a look learned who the voice belonged to. It was none other than Li An, the First Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum!
Li An’s position was only inferior to the Sanctum Leader in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

What did Duan Ling Tian do this time? Elder Li An even personally came here!
Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s senior disciples looked at each other in shock.
They did not expect this new disciple would be so bold. He had just entered the Black Turtle Sanctum not long ago, but he had offended their First Silver Flame Elder Li An again and again.

The fact that Elder Li An personally came here means it’s not a small issue! It seems like Duan Ling Tian is doomed!
Many Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples agreed with these words.
After a while, under the watchful eyes of the others, Li An appeared with Gu Chun.
Li An let go of Gu Chun, and Gu Chun followed him from behind.
As Gu Chun stood behind Li An, his eyes were staring intently at one of the thousands of Tertius houses. His gaze was filled with a burning hatred.
The Tertius house naturally belonged to Duan Ling Tian, the person he could not wait to kill.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian who was on the fourth level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda was also alerted by Li An’s arrival.
Li An?
