"The Ascension Ceremony shall now begin!"

As the old man's voice faded, a pale white crystal sphere appeared out of thin air.

"Come forward one by one to have your spiritual roots tested."

Han Li looked around and saw that many cultivators were eager to try.

Most of them know their own spiritual root attributes, but very few are like Han Li.

Not far away, Han Yunzhi smiled and waved to him, and Han Li nodded in acknowledgment.

......

"Chen Qiaoqian has dual spiritual roots of water and wood."

"pass!"

It's her.

After a while, a figure that Han Li recognized appeared.

"So her name is Chen Qiaoqian."

Han Li looked at Chen Qiaoqian, who had just finished testing her spiritual roots. She was wearing a pale yellow dress, her figure was slender, her face was gentle and graceful, and she had a touch of heroism in her gentleness.

Every smile and frown is captivating, making it impossible to look away.

Seemingly noticing Han Li, Chen Qiaoqian glanced back, but quickly looked away.

The one testing spiritual roots below is that gloomy man.

"Lu Yunfeng possesses a wind-type unique spiritual root!"

"pass!"

A dazzling blue light appeared, and the old man announced excitedly.

"Wind-type unique spiritual root!"

"A genius second only to those with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, with virtually no bottlenecks before reaching the Core Formation stage!"

The surroundings instantly became noisy.

Han Li looked at the man on the stage, his eyes flashing.

"Brother Han, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Han Li's expression was a bit strange, Wan Xiaoshan asked.

"Oh, it's nothing. I was just wondering what kind of spiritual root I might have."

Han Li's expression returned to normal, and he smiled.

Lu Yunfeng's threatening words still echoed in my ears.

Unexpectedly, he has a wind-type spiritual root. He has an eccentric personality, so it's best not to have too much contact with him.

"Brother Han, you haven't tested your spiritual root? There's no need to worry. Brother Han, you've already achieved such cultivation at such a young age, your spiritual root must be quite good."

"I hope so."

......

"Next up, Han Li."

Han Li grasped the crystal ball, feeling slightly excited.

Despite having the help of the little green bottle, he remained curious about his spiritual root.

Since one can cultivate the Everlasting Spring Technique, one must possess a wood-type spiritual root.

Is it a dual spiritual root, or a triple spiritual root? Or perhaps...?

As magic was infused, the crystal sphere began to glow.

"Han Li possesses the four spiritual roots of wood, fire, earth, and water."

"Rejected!"

When the test results were announced, the entire hall fell silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from? A pseudo-spiritual root dares to participate in the Ascension Ceremony!"

"Pseudo-spiritual root, hahahaha."

"There's no hope of ever reaching the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime."

......

Han Li remained calm, returned the crystal ball, and walked down the steps.

"Brother Han, don't be discouraged. Spiritual roots only determine aptitude; external factors such as wealth, companions, methods, and environment are equally important."

"Hundreds of years ago, there was a predecessor who not only successfully established his foundation with a pseudo-spiritual root, but also cultivated all the way to the Nascent Soul realm!"

Wan Xiaoshan patted Han Li on the shoulder.

"Yes, Senior Brother Han, besides spiritual roots, opportunities are even more important for cultivators."

Han Yunzhi also came over and comforted her.

"Thank you both. I am not one to underestimate myself."

Han Li grinned.

Han Yunzhi is right. Opportunity, isn't the little green bottle her own opportunity?

What magical treasure can compare to the miraculous ripening elixir's incredible power?

......

"Next up, Han Yunzhi."

"Dual spiritual roots of water and fire, passed."

......

Soon after, the Ascension Ceremony ended.

Wan Xiaoshan possesses three spiritual roots, and both he and Han Yunzhi ascended to immortality through the Ascension Conference.

"Brother Han, are you really preparing to return?"

Outside the nine-story tower, Wan Xiaoshan extended a final invitation.

He and Han Li had gotten along very well these past two days, and he never expected that they would have to part ways so soon.

The world of cultivation is vast; who knows when we will meet again? Wan Xiaoshan felt a pang of sadness.

"Brother Wan, Junior Sister Han, my cultivation is too low. It would be better for me to avoid making a fool of myself by not going onto the arena."

Han Li cupped his hands in greeting.

Those who participated in the arena in the past had at least the tenth level of Qi Refining, so it would be difficult for him to defeat them at his current level.

Moreover, he doesn't have any good magical artifacts or spirit pets, so even if he manages to win one or two matches by chance, it will be difficult for him to get into the top ten.

"Besides the Ascension Ceremony, are there no other ways to join the Seven Sects?"

Han Li asked.

Cultivating within a sect is always more convenient than being a rogue cultivator.

It also makes it easier to access high-level techniques and resources.

"There is one item called the 'Ascension Token'. Anyone who holds this token can directly join one of the seven major sects and receive a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Wan Xiaoshan thought for a moment and then said.

"An Ascension Token?"

"That's right. Several years ago, someone successfully joined the Hidden Moon Sect by holding the Hidden Moon Sect's Ascension Token, and it's rumored that he has now advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Wan Xiaoshan recalled that his elders had discussed this matter a few years ago.

"An Ascension Token? Could it be the one I have?"

Han Li recalled the token he received from Jin Guang Shangren, which largely matched Wan Xiaoshan's description.

"Brother Xiaoshan is right, but Brother Han, this Ascension Token is too rare, appearing only once every hundred years. Brother Han, you should probably not take it..."

Han Yunzhi was unaware that Han Li already possessed an Ascension Token. After a brief silence, she added...

Although Han Li's spiritual root was poor, he was not a bad person, and she couldn't bear to see him focus his attention on something illusory.

After all, in the past few hundred years, only the Hidden Moon Sect has ever produced one.

"Thank you for the reminder, Junior Sister Han."

Han Li could easily hear Han Yunzhi's concern.

"Opportunities are truly elusive. Thousands of years ago, there was a powerful figure who cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage with a pseudo-spiritual root, and his fame shook the entire southern land..."

"Perhaps one day in the future, Brother Han will also be able to form a Nascent Soul?"

Wan Xiaoshan recounted the story of the Nascent Soul Grandmaster once again.

"If that day ever comes, Han Li will definitely treat you both to a drink!"

Han Li laughed heartily, all his frustration dissipating.

It's a deal.

Seeing that Han Li had resolved his inner conflict, Han Yunzhi also revealed a relaxed smile.

......

"Brother Wan, Junior Sister Han, now that the Ascension Ceremony has concluded, Han Li bids farewell."

"Brother Han, until we meet again."

......

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Han Li then left Tai Nan Valley quietly.

He always felt that Qingwen and the others would not give up easily, so he did not leave immediately after the Ascension Conference.

As soon as he left Tainan Valley, Han Li identified the direction and used the Wind Control Technique.

With a light touch of his toes, he floated several meters away, his figure quickly disappearing into the woods.

After a while, seeing that no one was chasing after him, Han Li sat down on the ground to rest for a bit.

Just then, a dozen dark lights suddenly burst out of the soil beneath his feet, about to pierce through Han Li.

Han Li rose into the air from his spot, avoiding the attack.

"Who is it?!"

Before they could even catch their breath, five ice spikes arrived in an instant.

Han Li narrowly dodged, the ice spike striking a tree behind him, creating a thick layer of frost.

"Fellow Daoists, you underestimate me far too much. Do you really think that a mere Ice Spike Technique can kill me?"

Han Li stood in the center of the forest, his divine sense range extended to its maximum.

"Hahaha, fellow Daoist, your agility is impressive; you actually dodged it. But now we're going to get serious."

The voices came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.

"I've found you."

Due to his transmigration, Han Li's spiritual sense is stronger than that of others of the same level.

Boom boom boom!

With a flick of his wrist, Han Li sent three fireballs flying in a straight line into the woods.
