1914 Devouring The Innate Spiritual Root!

Gu Chun entered the Tertius house and was about to close the door when he saw a flash before his eyes. A figure had appeared in front of his door and stopped him from closing the door. His eyes landed on the figure. When he saw the figure stopping him from closing the door was none other than Duan Ling Tian, a hint of dread appeared in his eyes.

Earlier, he had learned from the people who had participated in the strength assessment with Duan Ling Tian that Duan Ling Tian's cultivation base was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage. He knew that he was no match for Duan Ling Tian now.

Put everything else aside, just the powerful Divine Ability that Duan Ling Tian had cast during his battle with Yang Wu was enough to make Gu Chun feel ashamed of himself. He had no choice but to admit he was no match for Duan Ling Tian.

For this reason, Gu Chun felt slightly anxious when he saw Duan Ling Tian. He was no longer arrogant like before when he was speaking to the senior disciple, Wang Jiu. "What a-are you trying to do?!"

Although he was no match for Wang Jiu as well, he was not afraid Wang Jiu would make a move on him since his master was Li An, the strongest elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum.

However, Duan Ling Tian was different! Based on his actions yesterday, it was not difficult for him to see that Duan Ling Tian was not afraid of his master, Li An. For this reason, he had subconsciously lowered his voice and his voice had turned softer when he was faced with Duan Ling Tian.

Wang Jiu was so angered that he almost threw up blood when he saw this. He was a senior disciple, but it seemed as though he was not as scary as a new disciple. He felt as though he had lived in vain!

Wang Jiu had heard the discussion among the new disciples earlier. He knew the new disciple, Duan Ling Tian, had fallen out with the strongest Silver Flame Elder in the Black Turtle Sanctum, Li An, even though he had just entered the Sanctum. Duan Ling Tian did not fear Li An, let alone his disciple, Gu Chun!

"Duan Ling Tian seems like an okay person." Wang Jiu turned to leave. He felt happy when he saw Gu Chun's grave expression. In a way, Duan Ling Tian's actions were akin to seeking revenge for him. For this reason, his regard of Duan Ling Tian had risen.

In fact, Wang Jiu was not the only one who felt the way. The other senior disciples' opinion of Duan Ling Tian rose as well when they saw his actions.

They were disgusted by Gu Chun who used someone else's authority to get ahead. However, they did not dare to show their disgust because they were afraid of Li An.

They did not expect Duan Ling Tian to stand out and do something they did not dare to do. It felt as though he was avenging them. This was why they began to like Duan Ling Tian. Even the new disciples who thought Duan Ling Tian was only pretending to be young changed their opinion when they saw his actions.

Duan Ling Tian did not expect the people's opinion would change so quickly.

"What am I trying to do?" Duan Ling Tian sneered when he saw the anxious Gu Chun. "What should I do? I've taken a liking to your Tertius house. I want to challenge you!"

Upon hearing that, horror dawned on Gu Chun. He could not help but tremble when he saw Duan Ling Tian's cold and sharp gaze.

'A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. I'll let him have his way for now and deal with him later. It's no loss for me to yield and give him this Tertius house. With my backing, I can stay in any Tertius house I want.' Gu Chun walked out of the house as soon as he thought of this. It was obvious he was going to yield and give the house to Duan Ling Tian.

"This person is Elder Li An's new disciple? He's an embarrassment to Elder Li An!"

"If I were Elder Li An, I would cut off ties with him!"

"Doesn't he find it embarrassing? He has the green Innate Spiritual Root, and yet, he's acting so cowardly in front of someone with a yellow Innate Spiritual Root."

When the senior disciples and new disciple saw Gu Chun leaving the Tertius house without putting up a fight, they began to mock Gu Chun to their hearts' content. Since there were so many of them mocking Gu Chun, they were not afraid Li An would seek revenge from them.

Gu Chun's expression turned graver when he heard their words. He fisted his hands and gritted his teeth as a vein appeared on his forehead. It was obvious he was angry and mortified.

'Endure! I must endure this! Currently, I'm no match for him at all. If I attack him now, I'll only suffer. I have to endure this for now! I can always seek revenge from him when I get stronger!' Gu Chun thought to himself as he gritted his teeth. He was consoling himself inwardly.

'He only has a yellow Innate Spiritual Root, and I have a green Innate Spiritual Root. It won't be difficult for me to surpass him!' In Gu Chun's opinion, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed Duan Ling Tian since his Innate Spiritual Root was superior in comparison to Duan Ling Tian's Innate Spiritual Root.

If he raised his cultivation base and became stronger, was there a need for him to be afraid of Duan Ling Tian's Divine Ability at that time?

Although Duan Ling Tian was heavily injured yesterday, he managed to kill Yang Wu when he cast the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. Gu Chun might not have known what Divine Ability it was, but it left a great impression on him. It was also because of this he knew he was no match for Duan Ling Tian even if their cultivation base was at the same level.

"Did I say you can leave?" Duan Ling Tian said when Gu Chun walked out of the Tertius house to leave. He looked at Gu Chun coldly.

Gu Chun came to a halt when he heard Duan Ling Tian's words.

Gu Chun had targeted him since the beginning. However, he did not take offense. Who would have thought Gu Chun would try to get into Li An's good grace by promising he would work with him to destroy Duan Ling Tian? He had used Duan Ling Tian's name to become Li An's disciple.

Was there a need for Duan Ling Tian to be courteous to Gu Chun when Gu Chun had made it clear he was working with Li An to deal with him?

"Duan Ling Tian, I have yielded and given you the Tertius house. W-what more do you want?" Gu Chun turned to look at Duan Ling Tian who was approaching him. Horror dawned on him as he retreated a few steps in panic.

Due to his fear, his aura was easily suppressed by Duan Ling Tian. He could not resist at all. Every step Duan Ling Tian took felt like he was stepping on his heart.

"Don't act recklessly. My master is Silver Flame Elder Li An. His position is just below Lord Sanctum Leader!" Gu Chun panicked when he saw Duan Ling Tian approaching him. He began to speak whatever came to his mind. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten that Duan Ling Tian was not afraid of his master, Li An, at all since the beginning.

"Relax, I won't kill you. The Fire Worship Sect's law forbids me from killing you! I'm just going to teach you a lesson you won't forget," Duan Ling Tian said indifferently. His voice became softer and softer until Gu Chun was the only one who could hear it in the end.

"No—" Gu Chun cried out in horror before he stopped speaking abruptly.

At the moment when he stopped speaking, he was enveloped by a golden light.

The Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples present on the scene could not see what was going on due to the golden light. However, they could tell this bright light that suddenly appeared was Duan Ling Tian's Territory.

"What Territory is this?"

Put aside the force of the Territory for the moment, just the dazzling golden light was enough to block their sights.

"Duan Ling Tian is not going to kill him, right?" A Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple asked in shock.

"I don't think so. One would be severely punished if one were to break the rules in the Fire Worship Sect by killing and maiming another person!" A senior disciple said.

"Unfortunately, Duan Ling Tian's Territory is too blinding. I can't see anything at all!"

"I wonder what he's doing?"

"I suspect he's blocking our sights on purpose. Based on this, I'm sure Gu Chun is doomed!"

"It serves him right for trying to masquerade as a lion!"

A hint of delight could be heard in the voices of the senior disciples and new disciples as they discussed among themselves.

The golden light in front of them was none other than the 10,000 Sword Territory. It was formed from the Sun Saint Energy, and it was as bright as the sun.

Inside the 10,000 Sword Territory, Duan Ling Tian stood very still.

Gu Chun had fainted next to his leg. He was like a lamb that was waiting to be slaughtered!

Naturally, Duan Ling Tian did not intend to kill him. However, there was a reason why he had blocked everyone's sight.

"Elder Huo, if I want to devour his Innate Spiritual Root, what should I do next?" Duan Ling Tian asked Elder Huo, revealing his intention.

Gu Chun's green Innate Spiritual Root was a level higher than his yellow Innate Spiritual Root.

If he could devour Gu Chun's green Innate Spiritual Root, theoretically, his yellow Innate Spiritual Root would turn into a green Innate Spiritual Root.

Duan Ling Tian was not sure if it would work. His was anxious as he waited for Elder Huo's answer.

Soon after, Elder Huo replied, "With your current cultivation base, there's no way for you to locate his Innate Spiritual Root using your Divine Consciousness so I'll use mine to guide your Divine Consciousness to look for his Innate Spiritual Root. When you find it, you can cast the Elementary Devouring Tactic!"

"Okay!" Duan Ling Tian immediately agreed to Elder Huo's suggestion.

At the same time, he took a deep breath as he prayed inwardly, 'I hope this method works… If possible, I really don't want to waste my strength looking for the Spiritual items that are scattered all over the place!'
