Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Faced with Dong Lin’s domineering attitude, Duan Ling Tian merely glanced at him indifferently before he shifted his gaze to the Fire Remuneration Palace’s Bronze Flame Elder standing behind the counter. Duan Ling Tian finally said, “Elder, you should have a Spiritual Pearl with you, right?”

The entire place fell silent immediately before it broke into an uproar.

“Duan Ling Tian wants a Spiritual Pearl from the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder? Does he plan to check his Innate Spiritual Root in front of everyone?”

“That seems to be the case.”

“Doesn’t he possess a yellow Innate Spiritual Root? Rumor has it that he was even tested twice when he first came to the Fire Worship Sect. However, the result was the same!”

“Don’t tell me he thinks his Innate Spiritual Root will change?”

“That’s ridiculous!”

The Saint Land disciples discussed among themselves, mocking Duan Ling Tian for being naive.

Meanwhile, Dong Lin laughed out loud. After he stopped laughing, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with disdain and said mockingly, “Duan Ling Tian, don’t tell me you think your Innate Spiritual Root is going to change just because you got stronger? How funny!”

Chen Peng who was standing behind Dong Lin also smiled mockingly at Duan Ling Tian for being foolish.

“Elder,” Duan Ling Tian called out to the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder who was in a daze. It seemed as though he did not hear Dong Lin and Chen Peng’s words.

At this instant, the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder standing behind the counter finally regained his senses. He instantly took out a glittering and translucent Spiritual Pearl from his personal Spatial Ring.

As the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder standing behind the counter handed the Spiritual Pearl in his hand to Duan Ling Tian, he could not help but ask, “Duan Ling Tian, are you really going to do this? Is it necessary?” He thought it was impossible for one to change one’s Innate Spiritual Root.

Rumor had it that if one had the help of a powerhouse who had undergone Transcendence and could ascend to the Devata Realm, one would be able to improve one’s Innate Spiritual Root. However, that was only a myth! Nobody had ever heard of anyone who returned from Devata Realm after their ascension. Based on this, many people thought it was only a myth. Even if it was true, it was impossible to achieve!

“Is it necessary?” Apart from the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder, many Saint Land disciples said the same thing.

“Duan Ling Tian’s crazy!”

“Ridiculous! Don’t tell me he thinks he has improved his Innate Spiritual Root?”

“Hurmph! Just let him try if he wants to! Anyway, it’s an undeniable fact that he only possesses a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.”

The group of Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace whispered among themselves. They all thought Duan Ling Tian’s action was unnecessary.

Duan Ling Tian ignored all the whisperings in his surroundings.

After Duan Ling Tian took the Spiritual Pearl from the Fire Remuneration Palace’s elder, he was not in a hurry to check his Innate Spiritual Root. Instead, he walked and stopped before Dong Lin.

Dong Lin’s expression changed immediately as he unconsciously took a step back in panic when he saw Duan Ling Tian approaching him. Although he had only returned to the sect, he had heard of the rumors surrounding Duan Ling Tian. He knew Duan Ling Tian was strong enough to defeat Wen Yan who was ranked ninth on the True Ranking. He knew he was not a match for Wen Yan, let alone Duan Ling Tian! However, after he unconsciously took a step back, he saw Duan Ling Tian only stood before him motionlessly. His face paled immediately when he felt the disdainful gazes from the people in the surroundings. This made him feel humiliated and infuriated him.

“Tsk tsk… Elder Dong Lin seems afraid of Duan Ling Tian!”

“How can he not be afraid? Although Elder Dong Lin is strong, he’s no match for Senior Sister Wen Yan, let alone Duan Ling Tian!”

“However, he’s still an elder from the Enforcement Hall. The cowardly way he’s acting isn’t suitable with his position. It completely ruins his image.”

“That’s right! It feels as though he’s in a lower position compared to Duan Ling Tian.”

Many Saint Land disciples whispered among themselves when they saw Dong Lin took a step backward when Duan Ling Tian approached him.

However, despite their low voices, how many of them had a poor hearing?

When Dong Lin heard these words, he was so furious that he almost threw up blood. He vented his anger on Duan Ling Tian as he said coldly, “Duan Ling Tian, what are you trying to do?!”

“What am I trying to do? What can I do? Don’t tell me you’re worried that I’ll kill you in front of so many people, Elder Dong Lin?” Duan Ling Tian answered mockingly with a smirk, “If you really think so, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed, Elder Dong Lin. In my eyes, my life is much more valuable than yours! You want me to use my life in exchange for yours? I can’t bring myself to do such a thing!” Duan Ling Tian’s words clearly implied Dong Lin’s life was worthless, causing Dong Lin’s face to turn green.

Initially, Dong Lin had only looked for trouble with Duan Ling Tian due to Chen Peng. However, now he completely regarded Duan Ling Tian as his mortal enemy! No matter what, he was still the only son of a Vice Hall Master in the Enforcement Hall. In the Fire Worship Sect, even the top three true disciples on the True Ranking did not dare to offend him openly!

“Elder Dong Lin, have a good look at this!” Duan Ling Tian said in a low voice with a solemn expression. At the same time, he raised his hand that was holding in the Spiritual Pearl in front of Dong Lin’s eyes and infused his Sun Saint Energy into the Spiritual Pearl. After ten breaths, the Spiritual Pearl would change and reveal his Innate Spiritual Root!

“It’s a widely known fact in the Fire Worship Sect that you only have a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Even if I don’t look, I know what the results are going to be!” After Dong Lin regained his senses, he had an expression of contempt on his face. He turned away arrogantly, not even sparing a glance at the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Ling Tian’s hand.

On the other hand, Chen Peng who was standing behind Dong Ling was also smiling disdainfully. However, his eyes were trained on the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Ling Tian’s hand.

At the same time, the few Fire Remuneration Palace’s elders standing behind the counters and the group of Saint Land disciples in the Fire Remuneration Palace were also staring intently at the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Ling Tian’s hand too. Although they all felt they knew what the outcome would be like, they could not help but look at the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Ling Tian’s hand.

Time continued to pass by slowly.

The span of a breath soon passed by.

The span of two breaths soon passed by as well.

Soon after, the span of ten breaths had passed.

The Spiritual Pearl that Duan Ling Tian was holding began to show some changes. It began to shine slowly, looking like a miniature sun in the end.

When they saw the color of the light shining from the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Ling Tian’s hand —

“This…” Apart from Dong Lin who had turned away arrogantly, the people in the Fire Remuneration Palace, including Chen Peng, could not help but widen their eyes in shock and confusion.

Many people even rubbed their eyes, thinking there was something wrong with their eyesight. There were even people who pinched their own thighs to make sure they were not dreaming.

“Impossible! Impossible!” Soon after, a voice filled with disbelief rang in the air. It belonged to Chen Peng who was standing behind Dong Lin. He stared at the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Ling Tian’s hand with disbelief. Although he kept muttering to himself that it was impossible, the truth was staring at him straight in the eyes.

Although Dong Lin had arrogantly and contemptuously looked away in the beginning, he was actually secretly paying attention to the result. Even then, he was 100% certain Duan Ling Tian only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.

After the span of ten breaths went by, the sound of jeering that he expected to hear did not ring in the air. His heart jolted when he realized something was wrong. His heart jolted again when he heard Chen Peng’s words. He instantly turned to look at the Spiritual Pearl in Duan Ling Tian’s hand. The Spiritual Pearl was shining with blue light, revealing that Duan Ling Tian undoubtedly possessed a blue Innate Spiritual Root instead of a yellow Innate Spiritual Root!

“How’s this possible?!” When Dong Lin saw the Spiritual Pearl that was shining with blue light, his eyes widened in shock as though he had just seen a ghost!
