Peak Dieyun was abuzz with activity, with numerous Returning Origin Sect disciples and guests from the Canglan Realm. While Bihai had greater strength, he couldn’t help but envy the core disciples of the Returning Origin Sect. Despite being outer sect elders, the core disciples received superior resources and treatment, garnering more attention and respect.
In the Returning Origin Sect, the inner and outer sects were like two distinct worlds, with the core disciples being the elite among the inner sect.
“Senior Che,” at this moment, Bihai noticed a Nascent Soul cultivator and quickly lowered his head to greet him.
The Nascent Soul cultivator nodded in response, acknowledging Bihai’s greeting. Bihai understood that the other person was a prodigy with a second-grade Spirit Root, now just over a thousand years old and already in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. His strength had already surpassed Bihai’s.
“Senior Brother Leng~”
Soon, Bihai encountered another cultivator. This cultivator was only in the Nascent Soul stage, but Bihai remained respectful and exchanged greetings with them. This cultivator, too, was a prodigy with a Heavenly Spirit Root. Although in the Nascent Soul stage, they were exceptionally young. Within the Returning Origin Sect, there were quite a few talents . The chances of being born with a Heavenly Spirit Root were quite low.
Li Su’s descendants had a significantly increased probability of being born with exceptional spirit roots due to the system’s elevated probabilities, which were much higher than the natural rate. However, up to this point, Li Su had only two descendants with Heavenly Spirit Roots. One was Mengmeng, the daughter of Li Su and Mystic Moon, and the other was Li Xiaoyue, the daughter of Li Su and Li Xinshui. Mystic Moon had a second-grade Rare Spirit Root and her special constitution. Similarly, Li Xinshui possessed a unique constitution, and with exceptionally good luck, they had a child with a third-grade Spirit Root. Perhaps it took a significant portion of Li Su’s luck to have a child with Li Xinshui therefore, their subsequent descendants hadn’t had Spirit Roots above the third grade.
The descendants born to Li Su with Bai Ling, the Mermaid, and Mo Lin had formidable bloodlines different from Spirit Roots. Even if they had children with someone else, their bloodlines wouldn’t be as powerful. Li Su’s difficulty in having descendants with Heavenly Spirit Roots was a testament to how challenging it could be, and for ordinary individuals, it was even more challenging.
However, in the vast Canglan Realm, with countless billions of people, there would still be some geniuses born with Heavenly Spirit Roots every few years. The Returning Origin Sect, the only first-grade sect in the Canglan Realm, possessed considerable strength and the best resources. Therefore, it attracted most of the geniuses from the Canglan Realm.
Peak Master Dieyun’s millennium celebration was a significant event within the Returning Origin Sect and a grand occasion in the Canglan Realm. Many talents from the Returning Origin Sect had come out of seclusion to attend. Therefore, today at Peak Dieyun, it was a gathering of geniuses.
Bihai had already met more than twenty geniuses with Heavenly Spirit Roots, and there were even younger ones he didn’t recognize. The majority of these geniuses with Heavenly Spirit Roots possessed third-grade Spirit Roots. The number of second-grade Spirit Roots was much lower, and as for geniuses with first-grade Spirit Roots, Bihai had yet to see any. While first-grade Spirit Roots were not as rare as Immortal Spirit Roots, they were still exceptionally scarce. Much like Immortal Spirit Roots, encountering one within a region was rare for thousands of years. First-grade Spirit Roots might not reach the same rarity as Immortal Spirit Roots, but they were often found only once in many years within a given region.
Moreover, if a person with a first-grade Spirit Root was born into an ordinary family, it was not necessarily a blessing for that family. The mother’s health was likely to be severely impacted by the strain of giving birth to a child with such a rare spirit root. In many cases, the mother might not survive the childbirth. There had been cases where a mother couldn’t survive the pregnancy of a child with a first-grade Spirit Root and almost didn’t make it herself. Fortunately, she was discovered in a critical condition by a cultivator who saved her.
“Sister Tiantian is here~!”
At this moment, a talented individual shouted. Everyone turned to look and saw a young woman who appeared to be no more than twenty years old with a somewhat sweet and pleasant appearance. Her arrival caused a commotion among some Returning Origin Sect disciples, as this female cultivator was, remarkably, the only one with a first-grade Spirit Root in the Returning Origin Sect in recent years.
Despite being over four hundred years of age, she had already reached the Mid Transformation stage. She hoped to achieve the Refinement Void stage like Peak Master Dieyun, around the age of a thousand.
A thousand-year Refinement Void!
These four words alone were enough to illustrate the significance of a first-grade spiritual root. In the vast Canglan Realm, she was the only one with a known first-grade Spirit Root in recent years. Such scarcity demanded exceptional talent.
