Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 4 Ascension Ceremony

After coming into contact with the world of cultivation, Han Li realized how rare people with spiritual roots were in the world.

The unusual situation that all members of the Mo family possessed spiritual roots naturally caught the attention of the perceptive Han Li.

If an outsider who does not know the specific situation of Mo Juren's family saw that Mo Juren and others all possessed spiritual roots, they would at most think that the Mo family was an ordinary small cultivation family, with only eight people in the family possessing spiritual roots, and that mortals without spiritual roots would naturally not appear in front of outsiders.

But Han Li knew that the Mo family only had eight people in total, and the fact that they all possessed spiritual roots was something that made him extremely concerned.

After observing, Han Li turned his attention to Chen Liang, since Chen Liang was the only one in the Mo family who had the demeanor of a cultivator.

After some bold speculation, Han Li realized that Chen Liang might have the means to cultivate spiritual roots. So, the doting brother Han Li risked everything, offering Chen Liang a thousand-year-old spiritual herb to help his younger sister cultivate her spiritual root.

For Chen Liang, this was just a matter of course. Therefore, Han Xiaomei now possesses spiritual roots and is able to embark on the path of cultivation.

However, since she was only at the second level of Qi Refining, Han Li naturally wouldn't let her participate in the Ascension Conference, so he left her in Divine Hand Valley to keep Zhang Tie company.

Interestingly, Han Li, who was missing his younger sister at this time, was unaware that his sister would soon no longer be someone he needed to worry about.

Because young Han Li had no idea what would happen if a man and a woman were left alone together for an extended period of time. Even if the man was simple-minded, the woman was precocious.

The Ascension Ceremony will begin in a few days.

The cultivators who came for the Ascension Ceremony left Tainan Valley one after another and headed towards Tianwu Terrace.

As can be seen, most of these monks travel in groups.

Because in the wild, a lone cultivator is easily killed and robbed by a gang of cultivators.

Some groups of cultivators would disguise themselves as ordinary, banded cultivators and set traps for lone cultivators, luring them into the wilderness to kill them, making them virtually impossible to guard against.

Chen Liang frequently traveled between the Mo Mansion and the market town of Tainan Valley, and naturally encountered robbery gangs more than once, and also encountered their tricks.

However, relying on his powerful mutated divine sense, Chen Liang was usually able to avoid the treacherous cultivators in the wild, and he had never fallen for the tricks of the treacherous cultivator gangs.

Even if a final battle is inevitable, Chen Liang has never been defeated in battles against opponents of the same level since he began cultivating, even when surrounded. That's why Chen Liang has survived until now.

On the other hand, this Ascension Ceremony still attracted many independent cultivators.

As for the cultivation families, in addition to the ordinary cultivation family members, some members of powerful cultivation families also came to participate in this Ascension Conference, such as the Chen family and the Wan family, which had Core Formation cultivators in the past, as well as the Wang family, the Nie family, and the Yan family, which still have Core Formation cultivators in the past.

Among them, only one beautiful young girl from the Chen family participated in the Ascension Ceremony.

Besides Wan Xiaoshan, Wan's family also included his seventh sister and ninth brother at the Ascension Ceremony.

An arrogant young man from the Wang family arrived, while a young woman from the Nie family, with skin as smooth as jade and a beauty that could topple kingdoms, came. She was Nie Ying, the future Nascent Soul Ancestor of Huangfeng Valley.

The people from the Yan family were a handsome young couple. When they made their appearance riding a top-tier Tier 1 double-headed steed, they stole the show.

After all, the Twin-Headed Beasts were fierce spirit beasts that the Yan family had tamed in large numbers, and that top-tier first-order Twin-Headed Beast was already comparable to an ordinary second-order demon beast.

Interestingly, when Chen Liang and his group arrived at the Ascension Conference, Chen Liang and Han Li, two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, stood on either side, protected by top-tier flying swords, while Mo Caihuan, Mo Yuzhu, and Mo Fengwu, three women, appeared on high-grade flying carpets.

The way they were acting led the cultivators present to mistakenly believe that Chen Liang and his group also came from a powerful cultivation family. However, the reason why Chen Liang and his group revealed their strongest magic weapons was simply to deter the rapidly increasing number of Tribulation Cultivators near Tainan Valley Market.

After all, among Chen Liang's group, apart from Chen Liang himself who was experienced in combat, Mo Caihuan, Han Li, and the others were not good at combat and were cultivators who were focused on taking drugs to improve their cultivation.

However, it was precisely because he was focused on improving his cultivation that, apart from Han Li entering the late stage of Qi Refining, Mo Caihuan, a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, was able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining and enter the late stage of Qi Refining in just over three years.

While Mo Yuzhu and Mo Fengwu's cultivation progress wasn't as exaggerated, they were both at the mid-stage of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Furthermore, Chen Liang's mutated divine sense had detected the presence of a Foundation Establishment evil cultivator near the market town of Tai Nan Valley. If Chen Liang was not mistaken, it should be a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Black Fiend Sect, but he didn't know which Black Fiend Sect protector it was.

Moreover, Chen Liang and his group had previously encountered several members of the Black Fiend Cult in the market town of Tainan Valley, namely Qingwen Daoist, Hu Pinggu, and Wu Jiuzhi.

They also used the same tactics as the robbery gangs, but seeing that Chen Liang and his group had three late-stage Qi Refining experts backing them up, they didn't dare to provoke them.

Leaving aside the dangers that Chen Liang and his group had already avoided, after they arrived at Tianwu Terrace with the Wan family and Qingyan Zhenren, the beautiful young woman from the Chen family, the arrogant young man from the Wang family, Nie Ying from the Nie family, and the couple from the Yan family all came to test them.

Upon learning that Chen Liang and his group came from minor cultivation families, the Chen, Wang, and Yan families quickly lost interest in them. However, Nie Ying stayed behind. She chatted happily with Mo Caihuan and the other two women, and they soon became sworn sisters.

Soon after, the famous Ascension Ceremony in the Yue Kingdom finally began.

In the first round of spiritual root testing, Mo Yuzhu, Mo Fengwu, Han Li, and Chen Liang underwent spiritual root testing one after another.

Dual-spiritual-root beauties like Mo Yuzhu and Mo Fengwu naturally received praise from a group of cultivators, while Han Li and Chen Liang, one with a pseudo-spiritual root and the other with a fake spiritual root, inevitably faced ridicule and mockery.

Even Wan Xiaoshan and Nie Ying looked at Chen Liang and Han Li with some surprise. They only knew that Chen Liang and Han Li had poor spiritual root aptitude, but they never thought that such young Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators would have fake spiritual root and pseudo-spiritual root aptitude.

For Han Li, this was the first time his pseudo-spiritual root aptitude had been revealed in public. Although he already understood how much the cultivation world valued spiritual root aptitude, the current situation still made him very uncomfortable.

It was only because Chen Liang remained calm that Han Li managed to stay alert and avoid looking too embarrassed.

As for Mo Caihuan, it's not advisable for her to reveal her Heavenly Spiritual Root at this time. Otherwise, if it attracts the attention of Core Formation cultivators from Spirit Beast Mountain who might try to seize it, things would go awry.

In fact, Mo Juren and his four wives had already carefully considered which sect Mo Caihuan and her two wives should join.

First of all, the three sects among the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom—Tianque Fortress, Huadaowu, and Jujianmen—have heavy malevolent energy, making them unsuitable for Mo Caihuan and her two daughters.

The Qingxu Sect has a strong Taoist tradition, and Mo Juren certainly doesn't want his daughter to become a Taoist nun.

The disciples of Spirit Beast Mountain were dressed in brightly colored clothes all day long, and their spirit beast pouches often had spirit beasts wriggling around them. This kind of image made Mo Caihuan and the other two girls unanimously reject them.

However, Lanzhou is, after all, under the jurisdiction of Spirit Beast Mountain. If Mo Caihuan's Heavenly Spirit Root aptitude is exposed, Spirit Beast Mountain will definitely shamelessly try to seize it.

Then there's the Hidden Moon Sect. Most of the disciples of this sect are handsome men and beautiful women, and their appearance is pleasing to the three women, including Mo Caihuan.

However, the Hidden Moon Sect already has a cultivator with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, and he is at the Core Formation stage. Even if Mo Caihuan joins the Hidden Moon Sect, she will not receive much attention.

But Huangfeng Valley is different. There are no cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots in this sect, and the Nascent Soul cultivator of Huangfeng Valley, Linghu Laoguai, doesn't have much lifespan left.

If Mo Caihuan were to join Huangfeng Valley, her innate talent for spiritual roots would undoubtedly receive the same level of nurturing as that of a sect heir, and Mo Yuzhu and Mo Fengwu would also be highly valued by Huangfeng Valley.

Therefore, Mo Juren and his wives unanimously decided to have Mo Caihuan and her two daughters become disciples of Huangfeng Valley.

Chen Liang originally wanted to join Huangfeng Valley, and Han Li even received an Ascension Token from Huangfeng Valley, so the group all chose to join Huangfeng Valley.
