The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

The competition officially began, and as the old man finished speaking, the remaining cultivators entered the nine-story Tower of Ascension one by one!

The first floor was completely easy, and most people made it to the second floor without any difficulty! Although the second floor also had first-tier phantom beasts, there were three or four times more of them than on the first floor, and those with lower strength were eliminated!

As the number of floors increases, the difficulty also increases, and more people are eliminated!

For Gu Lingxi, it was no challenge at all. She was already at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, and she reached the ninth level in less than two incense sticks' time. She was the first to arrive. It took a long time before other people gradually reached the ninth level, many of them looking disheveled and panting heavily! She barely managed to pass!

Upon exiting, Gu Lingxi discovered that fewer than two thousand people, only fifteen hundred, could reach the ninth floor of the Tower of Ascension! She searched around and finally found her two senior brothers. "Senior brothers, have you both reached the ninth floor?"

He Wentang nodded, but He Wenwu looked dejected!

I only made it to the eighth floor, just a little bit away from passing the level, what a pity!

Don't be discouraged, Second Brother. I heard they're planning to recruit 2,000 disciples this time, and we've only got around 1,500 so far. There's definitely still a chance to make up for it!

Sure enough, after Gu Lingxi finished speaking, the old man on the platform spoke up!

Congratulations to all 1,500 cultivators who have reached the ninth level! You have become new disciples of our sect. Those who remain should not be discouraged. Those who have just reached the eighth level can enter the elimination competition! The top 500 will also be admitted to our sect!

The cultivator, who had just looked dejected, now had his hope rekindled!

That's great, junior sister! I thought I was going to be separated from you all! Just wait, I'll definitely get in smoothly!

"Alright! Keep it up, Second Senior Brother!" Gu Lingxi encouraged him.

Those who have successfully passed can come with me to test your spiritual roots. Then, based on your spiritual talents, I will assign you to different places!

The one leading the group was none other than Xuan Yuan Yan Yu, the one who had helped her out of a predicament in Guiyuan City last time!

The group followed Xuan Yuan Yan Yu to the Spirit Testing Hall, where a giant pillar was inlaid with various colored spirit testing beads!

One's spiritual root determines the height of their future achievements. Therefore, in order not to waste good resources on disciples who are not qualified, newly initiated disciples will come here to have their spiritual roots tested and then be trained separately!

This spiritual root has the following attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, space, time, etc.

Pseudo-spiritual roots, also called mixed spiritual roots, are spiritual roots with four or five attributes. They are very mixed, but not abundant. Each attribute of the spiritual root is incomplete, and the cultivation speed is very slow.

True Spiritual Root: Possesses two or three spiritual roots, with an abundance of each. Cultivation speed is relatively fast.

Heavenly Spiritual Root: A single spiritual root with only one attribute, and abundant in spiritual roots. Cultivation speed is several times faster than ordinary spiritual roots, and there are no bottlenecks in Core Formation.

Mutated spiritual roots: spiritual roots that have undergone mutation and sublimation due to the mixing of two or three of the five elements. They may have attributes such as lightning, ice, darkness, and wind, and their cultivation speed is no less than that of heavenly spiritual roots.

Dragon Spirit Root: The bloodline left behind in the mortal world by the ancient dragon race. No matter which attribute you cultivate, the other attributes will increase accordingly. It can be cultivated on its own and has extremely strong vitality.

Super spiritual roots are divided into sun spiritual roots and moon spiritual roots. Sun spiritual roots are bodies that are inclined towards goodness, while moon spiritual roots are bodies that are inclined towards evil immortality. Their cultivation speed is a hundred times that of other spiritual roots. What is terrifying is that they can cultivate themselves at birth.

Chaotic Spiritual Root: An all-attribute spiritual root. No matter which attribute you cultivate, the other attributes will also increase. Its cultivation ability far surpasses that of the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Heavenly lightning will also give special favor to people with this spiritual root attribute. However, the heavenly fortune it obtains will also surpass that of other spiritual roots.

Place your hands on this opening and pour your spiritual energy into the pillar! You will then know what your spiritual root is! Begin!

One by one, everyone stepped forward and placed their hands inside.

The majority of disciples possess true spiritual roots, with most having two or three. These disciples are assigned to the outer sect! Here's an outer sect disciple!

There were dozens of people with Heavenly Spiritual Roots who were assigned to the Inner Sect as Inner Sect disciples. Their resources were definitely much better than those of the Outer Sect!

Many people with mixed spiritual roots were assigned to various menial tasks as disciples, even worse off than outer disciples!

Occasionally, a mutated spiritual root would appear, and the Golden Core stage elders waiting outside the hall would excitedly rush over to compete for it as their closed-door disciple!

Gu Lingxi never expected that her senior brother had a mutated fire spirit root. No wonder he was so good at alchemy!

Seeing that her senior brother had been noticed by a Golden Core elder from Dan Peak, Gu Lingxi was very happy for him!

Finally, it was her turn. Gu Lingxi placed her hand on the testing pillar, and one by one, the spirit testing beads lit up!

With each color that appeared, the elders shook their heads, sighing, "Another mixed spiritual root! And the worst one at that!"

Before Gu Lingxi could finish the test, the elder who was distributing the disciple identity tokens interrupted her and said, "Alright, no need to test anymore. You have mixed spiritual roots. Here is your menial disciple identity token. Take it and go report to the Sweeping Hall!"

Gu Lingxi… how much did they dislike her? She had just glanced at the light and it seemed that all nine of her spiritual root beads were lit, except for the spatial spiritual root! She wanted to check again to see if they were all lit up, which would make her a chaotic spiritual root! But the elder didn't give her a chance at all and had already called the next person up!

Gu Lingxi could only shake her head helplessly. Her cultivation speed was not slow at all. Compared to those who had been cultivating since childhood, she had already reached the fourth level of Foundation Establishment in just a few years, while the one with the Heavenly Spiritual Root was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining! She pouted. A menial disciple it is! She wasn't here to enjoy the good resources! Her main goal was to obtain the inter-divine domain teleportation array! And also, to see if she could help Jun Moli recover his memories!

Holding her servant disciple identification token, Gu Lingxi inquired her way towards the Sweeping Hall!

On the way, they suddenly encountered several female cultivators dressed in inner sect robes!

Gu Lingxi stepped aside, wanting them to pass first, but to her surprise, the group surrounded her!

Senior Sister Zizi, that's her! I saw her on the street yesterday!

Gu Lingxi narrowed her eyes. Oh! Judging from their tone and their posture, they're a group looking for trouble!

Li Zizi, with her almond-shaped eyes raised high, looked at the servant disciple token in Gu Lingxi's hand with disdain! Oh! I thought the woman who could seduce Uncle Bai Li was some kind of powerful character! Turns out she's just a servant disciple!

What kind of disciple I am is none of your business! Why are you meddling so much? Do you live by the sea? Get out of the way! Gu Lingxi glanced coldly at them, walked past the crowd, and tried to leave!

Li Zizi relentlessly pursued him, saying, "It's none of my business, but your coveting of Uncle Bai Li is our concern! You're just a menial disciple, do you even deserve Uncle Bai Li?"

The women chimed in, "Yes! You're really delusional!"
