The first step of the sect assessment was to assess the candidates’ spirit roots .

Red ones were inferior-grade, orange and yellow ones were medium-grade, and green ones were superior-grade . If one possessed a blueish-green spirit root, they would be able to skip the outer sect and become an inner sect disciple immediately .
As for blue and purple spirit roots, no one had seen one for over a thousand years . None of the sect were still hoping for that .
The way Xuanling Sect assessed spirit roots was rather special . It did not require candidates to show their spirit root . Instead, they would place their hands on a human-sized Spirit Stone and direct their strength using their spirit root . The Spirit Stone would change into the same color as their spirit root .
The order people were tested was based on the sequence in which people finished the Path to Heaven, starting from the last .
The first candidate stepped forward and placed his hand on the Spirit Stone . Soon, the ivory stone turned yellow in color .
“Yellow spirit root, next,” A middle-aged man who was in charge of the assessment said .

That candidate was quite delighted . His yellow spirit root was inferior to a green spirit root, but he was qualified to enter the sect at least .
Candidates who followed up all showed yellow or orange colors .
At last, Lu Xiuwen stepped forward . Everyone focused on him, and even the middle-aged man who was bored with orange and yellow colors also showed some interest .
Lu Xiuwen walked towards the giant Spirit Stone and placed his hand on the stone .
At that instant, a spark of green appeared and covered the entire Spirit Stone within a second .
“Green spirit root, not bad . ” The middle-aged man looked at Lu Xiuwen in contentment .

Green spirit root was quite rare . Disciples with green spirit roots could all enter the inner sect after training in the outer sect . Lu Xiuwen was expected to be an inner sect disciple with his green spirit root .
Lu Xiuwen smiled gently . He lifted up his chin slightly and stepped back when everyone looked at him with admiration .
“I think Lu Xiuwen definitely can pass the assessment since he is from the Formidable Heavens Dynasty . ”
“I agree . He stands out with that green spirit root . Even if the other assessments are not up to expectation, his spirit root will grant him into the sect . ”
Candidates who had their spirit roots assessed could not help but envy him .
There were many sect assessments . One would fail if they made any mistake . However, a green spirit root would serve as insurance to cover for any possible mistakes in other assessments .

One would need to pass all assessments successfully if their spirit roots were not superior . For example, they would say goodbye to the sect if they made any mistake in any assessment with their orange or yellow spirit roots .
Yun Shu was the next person after Lu Xiuwen .
Yun Shu was not arrogant like Lu Xiuwen . He smiled gently and nodded towards the middle-aged man with respect . He then placed his hand on the Spirit Stone .
Another round of applause was heard when the green color appeared .
“Green spirit root . ” The middle-aged man was in a very good mood now . It made the assessment this year more interesting when two green spirit roots appeared .
The better the quality of one’s spirit root, the faster the speed of cultivation . Their strength would be purer as well . The quality of spirit root served as the foundation for a person . One could achieve higher levels with a better spirit root .
Yun Shu stepped back humbly and looked towards Ye Qingtang instinctively .
Ye Qingtang’s spirit root was the only one left to assess among all candidates . Everyone was staring at Ye Qingtang now .
No one forgot how easily Ye Qingtang achieved the first place on the Path to Heaven, and she was ahead of everyone .
Lu Xiuwen also gazed at Ye Qingtang . His sight was less calm but more doubtful .
Ye Qingtang had gained an advantage through the Path to Heaven . If her spirit root was of good quality, she would be another popular candidate whom he had to fight with to enter the sect .
