Those with green Innate Spiritual Roots left with Li An.

The people with yellow Innate Spiritual Roots, including Duan Ling Tian, stayed behind. Teng Shan, the other Black Turtle Sanctum’s Silver Flame Elder, and another four Bronze Flame Elders were in charge of their strength assessment.

After Li An brought the men away, Teng Shan looked at Duan Ling Tian in disappointment. It did not cross his mind that things would turn out this way!

The young man whom he regarded highly only possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. Could it really be that he was an old man in disguise like what people had speculated?

He refused to believe it. However, the truth was laid bare before his eyes. He had no choice but to believe it.

After the assessment by the Soul Pearl, he discovered the young man who had not even reached the age of forty only had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root.

It was almost impossible for someone below the age of forty to possess a cultivation base at the peak of the Divine Saint Stage. For this reason, deep in his heart, he actually believed Duan Ling Tian had concealed his true age.

“Duan Ling Tian, even if you can pass the strength assessment, I don’t think you should stay in the Black Turtle Sanctum. If you decide to leave, I can ask two of my friends to accompany you when you leave. There’s nothing Elder Li An can do since it’s so last minute.” A grave voice resonated suddenly in Duan Ling Tian’s ears. He could tell the voice belonged to Black Turtle Sanctum’s Silver Flame Elder Teng Shan.

“Elder Teng Shan?” Duan Ling Tian looked at Teng Shan in surprise. It did not cross his mind that Teng Shan would still be willing to help him at this moment. He would risk offending Li An further!

He was moved by this gesture.

At the very least, Teng Shan did not look down on him because he possessed a yellow Innate Spiritual Root. On top of that, he was even willing to help him. It was rare to find someone like that!

‘I hope he’ll leave. This is all I can do to help him,’ Teng Shan thought to himself after he transmitted his voice to Duan Ling Tian.

He was willing to help Duan Ling Tian because he had taken a liking to him. He did not wish to see Duan Ling Tian harmed. Moreover, he still felt guilty that Duan Ling Tian was injured by Li An under his watch.

In his opinion, it would be best for everyone if Duan Ling Tian left. However, there was nothing he could do if he was not willing to leave.

If he chose to remain in the Black Turtle Sanctum, he would be helpless to help him even if he wanted to. In the Black Turtle Sanctum, his strength and influence were far inferior compared to Li An. There was nothing he could do once Li An had made up his mind to seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian.

Earlier, he had thought Duan Ling Tian would have a blue or indigo Innate Spiritual Root. If that was the case, there was a high possibility that the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect who was in closed-door cultivation would take Duan Ling Tian in as his direct disciple.

Li An would not be able to harm Duan Ling Tian if he became the direct disciple of the Sect Leader of Fire Worship Sect.

If Duan Ling Tian had the blue Spiritual Root, he could recommend Duan Ling Tian to the Sanctum Leader of the Black Turtle Sanctum. He believed the Sanctum Leader would be more than happy to take a genius like Duan Ling Tian as his direct disciple. Li An would not be able to harm him as well if this happened.

He did not expect Duan Ling Tian would not have a blue or indigo Innate Spiritual Root. He did not even have a green Innate Spiritual Root. In the end, he discovered he only had a yellow Innate Spiritual Root!

The yellow Spiritual Roots were the most common Innate Spiritual Root in the Fire Worship Sect. Out of 100 ordinary disciples in the Fire Worship Sect, 90 of them would possess yellow Innate Spiritual Roots. Based on this, one could see how common the yellow Innate Spiritual Roots were.

“Thank you, Elder Teng Shan!” Upon hearing Teng Shan’s Voice Transmission, Duan Ling Tian immediately transmitted his voice to express his gratitude. Then, he paused for a moment before he continued to say, “However, I don’t plan to leave the Black Turtle Sanctum for the time being... As for the strength assessment, I’m certain I’ll pass. Please don’t worry about me, Elder Teng Shan. I’ll remember your kindness for helping me out at this moment, Elder Teng Shan!”

Duan Ling Tian’s words were filled with confidence. It left no room for doubts, rendering Teng Shan speechless.

“Fine... If this is your decision, I’ll respect it,” Teng Shan responded after a long while. He sighed, a hint of exhaustion could be heard in it.

After that, Teng Shan shifted his attention to the strength assessment catered to the Duan Ling Tian and the others. He took the lead with the help of the four Bronze Flame Elders.

In the strength assessment catered to Duan Ling Tian and the others, those at the Exemplary Saint Stage or above would pass. The passing rate was almost 100%. For this reason, there was no need to further explain the strength assessment.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Duan Ling Tian passed the assessment without any incidents.

Although Duan Ling Tian passed the assessment, the crowd could see it was slightly difficult for him to pass the assessment.

“Early Exemplary Saint Stage?”

“Since he passed the assessment with slight difficulties, he must be at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage!”

“Do you think he’s hiding his strength again? Is there a chance his strength is stronger than those at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage?”

“Aren’t you thinking too much? Is there a need to hide his strength now that everything has been exposed? How naive!”

The crowd whispered among themselves when they saw Duan Ling Tian had passed the strength assessment.

In the end, almost all of them agreed that Duan Ling Tian’s cultivation base was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage!

If Duan Ling Tian was really a young man who had not reached the age of forty, it would have caused a commotion. However, since the crowd believed Duan Ling Tian was an old man in disguise, they were not surprised by his cultivation base that was at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage. It was very common after all.

Duan Ling Tian remained calm when he heard their words.

His true cultivation base was much lower than what these people thought. It was only at the Early Divine Saint Stage.

As for why it appeared difficult for him to pass the strength assessment, this was because he only relied on his Sun Saint Energy.

Although his Saint Energy was comparable to the Saint Energy of a cultivator at the Early Divine Saint Stage, since it had fused with the Sun’s Flame, it was not inferior to the Saint Energy of a cultivator at the Early Exemplary Saint Stage!

Due to the reason he had just broken through to the Early Divine Saint Stage early this morning, he was still not adept with handling the Saint Energy. This was why it seemed difficult for him to pass the assessment.

Duan Ling Tian only smiled nonchalantly when he heard the people’s words. He was not bothered by it at all.

Was there a need for him, Duan Ling Tian, to care about others’ opinion of him?

“Those who failed the strength assessment, please leave with these two Bronze Flame Elders... Those who passed the assessment will follow the other two Bronze Flame Elders to your residence. They will inform you about the things new disciples have to take note of during your journey there,” Teng Shan said solemnly. When he finished speaking, he glanced at Duan Ling Tian before he left with a sigh.

Since Duan Ling Tian had made up his mind, there was nothing else he could do. Duan Ling Tian could only rely on himself in the future since there was nothing he could do to help.

After Teng Shan left, the group of people who failed the strength assessment left in low spirits with the Bronze Flame Elders.

The other two Bronze Flame Elders, on the other hand, called out to the group of people who passed the strength assessment and brought them deep into the mountain range.

During the journey, the two Bronze Flame Elders distributed the exclusive uniforms of Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples to Duan Ling Tian and the others.

The exclusive uniform of a Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple was a white robe as well. It was also embroidered with a Black Turtle with a grey flame. It looked very conspicuous due to the white robes. One could see the embroidery clearly with just a glance.

After giving out the exclusive uniforms of the Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple, one of the Bronze Flame Elders looked in the east and warned them solemnly, “That’s the cultivation place of the Sanctum Leader of Black Turtle Sanctum and the five Silver Flame Elders. Unless you have permission from Lord Sanctum Leader or one of the Silver Flame Elders, you’re forbidden to enter. Those who enter without permission will be killed!” When he reached the end of his sentence, his tone was cold and filled with murderous intent.

Duan Ling Tian looked over and could only see thick mist that covered the eastern direction. He could not see anything beyond the mist. It was apparent that some sort of Formation that obstructed one’s sight was placed there.

“This place before us is where the altar of Black Turtle Sanctum is located. Our Black Turtle Sanctum’s high-grade defensive Divine Ability, the Black Turtle’s Barrier, is recorded on the Black Turtle statue in the heart of the altar. It allows every Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciple to comprehend it,” the other Bronze Flame Elder chimed in.

Duan Ling Tian and the others immediately shifted their eyes to the front.

A vast flat land in the middle of the forest awaited them.

The vast flat land was surrounded by huge and magnificent palaces that looked like great beasts. They emitted a subtle aura that made one’s heart tremble.

A big altar stood in the middle of the palaces.

The altar was about ten meters high, and there was a gigantic statue of a Black Turtle on it. From afar, the ancient gigantic beast looked life-like.

“So many people!” At the same time, Duan Ling Tian and the others were shocked to discover many figures hovering in the air around the Black Turtle statue.

Based on their clothes, Duan Ling Tian and the others could tell they were Black Turtle Sanctum’s disciples!

Several hundred people hovered in the air around the Black Turtle statue. Some of them were standing, and some of them were sitting.
