"Impossible! Impossible! I'll try again! Try again! I can do it! I can definitely do it! I have a green Innate Spiritual Root. It's impossible that I can't sense the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy!" Gu Chun took a deep breath and suppressed the rising panic within him. He felt as though he was going crazy as he tried to calm himself down so he could try and sense the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in the Tertius house.

Due to the reason there were three Spirit Gathering Formations in the Tertius house, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy in there was richer than it was outside. Even then, Gu Chun could not sense any Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy no matter how hard he tried. It felt as though he was in a room devoid of Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.

"Something must be wrong! Continue! Continue!" Gu Chun began to panic again. He gritted his teeth and continued trying to sense the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.

Although he could not be considered as a genius, he was still above ordinary people since he possessed a green Innate Spiritual Root. With that, he had a high chance of breaking through to the Saint Celestial Stage in the future!

At that time, if he was willing to stay in the Fire Worship Sect, he might even become a Bronze Flame Elder. Gu Chun did not doubt that his future was bright prior to this. However, at this moment, despair began to rise in his heart.

"Found it!" At the moment when Gu Chun was about to give up in despair, he sensed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy and tried to guide it into his body.

After a while, he was shocked. Not only was the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy that he sensed extremely weak, but his speed when he guided the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy into his body was extremely slow as well. It was slower than a tortoise!

"Impossible! Impossible! I'm a Martial Cultivator with a green Innate Spiritual Root. This can't be my speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy! Even someone with a red Innate Spiritual Root wouldn't be so slow when sensing and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy!" Gu Chun began to panic again.

He continued to struggle with detecting and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. However, a day went by, two days went by…. After three days and three nights had gone by, he discovered his speed of detecting and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy was still so slow.

Bang!

A loud bang resonated in the air as Gu Chun destroyed the door of the Tertius house when he went out.

He seemed to have gone crazy, and it naturally attracted many people's attention.

"What's wrong with Gu Chun? Look at him! He looks crazy! He didn't go crazy, did he?"

"It does seem like he has gone crazy."

"Huh? Why is he going to the pool?"

Soon after, the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciples discovered Gu Chun who seemed like he had gone crazy was making his way to the pool nearby. He stopped by the side of the pool and lied on the ground. Then he lifted his head to look in the pool as though there was a treasure in there.

Naturally, everyone knew there was no treasure in the pool. Even if there was, it would have been taken away by other people a long time ago. It would not stay there, waiting for Gu Chun to pick it up.

Upon seeing the familiar face reflected in the pool, Gu Chun became agitated again. He looked like he had gone crazy as he muttered to himself, "I'm still me! That's right! I'm still me! But why is my speed in sensing and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy so slow? Even someone with a red Innate Spiritual Root wouldn't be so slow! What happened? Why is this happening to me?"

Initially, he had thought his soul had entered the body of someone with low innate talent. However, when he looked into the pool, he saw that he was in his body.

After a moment, Gu Chun finally managed to calm himself down. After he calmed down, the figure of a handsome young man with dashing brows and bright eyes appeared in his mind.

"It's him! It must be him!"

The figure that appeared in his mind was none other than Duan Ling Tian!

'After he knocked me out, I didn't cultivate for more than twenty days in order to recover. When I began to cultivate today, I discovered my speed in sensing and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy is ridiculously slow!' Gu Chun thought to himself as he gritted his teeth.

Then, he looked for some of the new disciples who were present on the day he was knocked out. He was desperate to find out and understand what had happened that day!

Although the new disciples disliked Gu Chun, they did not dare to protest since he was First Silver Flame Elder Li An's disciple. They told him everything they knew.

"Duan Ling Tian consolidated his Territory and blocked everyone's sights before I was knocked out?" Gu Chun narrowed his eyes as he began to recall some of the things that had happened after listening to the new disciples.

'Based on what I remember, I passed out as soon as I saw a flash of golden light… In other words, Duan Ling Tian blocked everyone's sights and knocked me out when he consolidated his Territory. It's unnecessary for him to knock me out just to consolidate his Territory. I'm sure he planned to do something objectionable that's why he blocked everyone's sights. He must have something to do with my cultivation speed becoming so slow!' Gu Chun thought to himself as a chill ran up his spine.

Although he did know what Duan Ling Tian did to him, he could not help but shudder when he thought about it. Moreover, he had a feeling his Innate Spiritual Root had been damaged! Otherwise, why would his cultivation speed become so slow? Why did it seem like he had a very low innate talent?

Gu Chun knew this had something to do with Innate Spiritual Root because he knew one had to rely on one's Innate Spiritual Root to sense and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy.

Now that his speed of sensing and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy had become so slow, it meant that something was wrong with his Innate Spiritual Root!

Naturally, he did not know exactly what was wrong. Even then, he could not help but shudder.

He had never heard of a person being able to damage another person's Innate Spiritual Root before. Although a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse could sense the location of a person's Innate Spiritual Root, he would not be able to mess with the person's Innate Spiritual Root without injuring his soul.

Gu Chun could sense that his soul was in perfect condition.

'I hope he didn't destroy my Innate Spiritual Root and has merely put a restriction on it. Otherwise, my life is ruined!' Gu Chun secretly prayed in his heart. His eyes gleamed coldly as he thought to himself. 'Duan Ling Tian, when my cousin is here, I'll make sure you die without a grave! At that time, I'll definitely cut you into a thousand pieces and let you experience the greatest pain in this world before you die! Not only that, but I won't let your two companions go as well. I remember how they look like even though they're not in the Black Turtle Sanctum. I'll make sure they die as long they remain in the Fire Worship Sect! You can only blame them for being your companions!" A burning hatred rose in Gu Chun's heart, and it spread like wildfire.

At this moment, not only was Gu Chun not sorry he looked for trouble with Duan Ling Tian, but he kept muttering about seeking revenge from Duan Ling Tian.

As for his Innate Spiritual Root, he felt that his master, the Black Turtle Sanctum's First Silver Flame Elder Li An, would definitely be able to help him.

"If you really destroy my Innate Spiritual Root, I won't let your two companions die a fast and painless death! I'll cut them up and make them watch as I feed their meat to the dogs!" It seemed as though Gu Chun had gone crazy again when he thought about how his Innate Spiritual Root might have been destroyed.

"I'll look for Master!" After a moment, he left the residence of the Black Turtle Sanctum's disciple and made his way east to look for his master, Li An.

"Why are you in such a state?" Li An frowned when he saw how anxious and worried Gu Chun was. A hint of unhappiness flashed across his eyes.

In all honesty, he would not have accepted a disciple with a green Innate Spiritual Root. However, this person had promised him something he could not refuse. Gu Chun had promised Li An that he would ask his cousin to become Li An's disciple.

According to Gu Chun, his cousin had a blue Innate Spiritual Root, and his cultivation base was at the peak of the Exemplary Saint Stage. He was only a step away from breaking through to the Quintessential Saint Stage! His cousin would be coming to the Fire Worship Sect soon.

The Fire Worship Sect had a rule stating that whoever possessed blue Spiritual Roots or higher could enter the sect at any time and become a disciple of the sect! This rule had been around since ancient times. That was why there were so many powerhouses in the Fire Worship Sect.

In the Fire Worship Sect, even a Golden Flame Elder would be tempted by a genius disciple with a blue Innate Spiritual Root, let alone Li An who was only a Silver Flame Elder.

Li An had been a Fire Worship Sect's Silver Flame Elder for thousands of years. During those years, he had only accepted three disciples whom nobody wanted with blue Innate Spiritual Roots. For this reason, when Gu Chun promised to ask his cousin to become his direct disciple, he immediately agreed to Gu Chun's request of becoming his direct disciple.

In his opinion, he would only acknowledge Gu Chun's cousin as his disciple. Gu Chun was merely tagging along.

"Master, can you please have a look at my Innate Spiritual Root? There seems to be a problem with it!" Gu Chun had a panicked expression on his face when he saw Li An. Anxiety filled his heart as well.

"Innate Spiritual Root? How can there be something wrong with it?!" Li An said with a frown when he heard Gu Chun's words. He did not do as Gu Chun had requested him.

As a Saint Celestial Stage powerhouse, Li An knew very well that if something was really wrong with his Innate Spiritual Root, he would not be able to live. On the contrary, Gu Chun looked very well as he stood in front of him!
