Yunmeng Mountain Range is located in the east of Jianzhou, with a radius of nearly 1,000 miles, surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, unpredictable, like a dream, so it is called Yunmeng.

Therefore, according to legend, there are immortals living in the depths of Yunmeng Mountain, with the great power of reaching the heavens and the earth, and there are often people who come from afar, just to find immortals and ask for a wisp of immortal fate.

For countless years, the people who ask for immortals have never stopped, but few people have heard of those who can enter the depths of Yunmeng Mountain, they always come out of the deep mountains inexplicably, even experienced hunters don't know why.

Yunmeng Mountain was also covered with a veil of mystery, and the legend of the gods became more and more spread in the world.

In order to be blessed by the immortals, the people near Yunmeng Mountain built an immortal temple on a mountain peak on the periphery, and the incense was very prosperous and well-known far and wide.

On the outskirts of the Yunmeng Mountain Range, there is a manor, although it is located in a remote area, the manor occupies an extremely wide area. The decoration in the manor is majestic and elegant, and at a glance you can see that the owner of the manor has a lot of status, which is not comparable to ordinary people.

There is a very open martial arts arena in the manor, and at this moment there is an elegant middle-aged man and a handsome boy about ten years old, the two of them look at the sky in the distance, as if they are communicating something.

The middle-aged man is in his thirties, with an extraordinary demeanor, named Xu Tianshan, and is the owner of this villa. Although Xu Tianshan looks elegant and seems to be a well-educated person, his martial arts are unfathomable, and he began to wander the rivers and lakes alone at the age of eighteen, and has a great reputation in the rivers and lakes, and has traveled extensively.

The boy's name is Xu Qing, he is Xu Tianshan's only son, he is quite handsome, and he is extremely intelligent since he was a child, and Xu Tianshan loves him very much.

"Qing'er, if you can enter the Yuntian Sect, you must practice hard and don't live up to your father's expectations, you know?" Xu Tianshan looked at Xu Qing lovingly, and a trace of expectation and regret in his eyes was extremely hidden.

"Qing'er knows that Qing'er will definitely live up to her father's expectations, and she will definitely become a figure like her father in the future!" Xu Qing's face was full of pride, and his immature face showed a bit of perseverance that did not match his age.

"Oh, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?" Xu Tianshan looked at Xu Qing, he wanted to hear what kind of image he had in his son's mind.

"I also want to have world-class martial arts like my father, act chivalrous and righteous, punish adultery and eliminate evil, and become a great hero admired by everyone. Since he was a child, Xu Qing has heard others talk about how his father acted chivalrous and righteous in the rivers and lakes, and how he was admired by the heroes of the rivers and lakes. In Xu Qing's eyes, his father is the strongest, it is the goal he has been striving for all his life, he never dared to expect to surpass his father, even if he reached the height of his father, it was enough for him to be proud of his life, and his father was close to a god in his mind, and it was unsurpassable.

"Haha, okay, it's worthy of being my son Xu Tianshan!" Xu Tianshan laughed loudly, his voice was very hearty, and it spread far away, he could get such an evaluation from his son, what else is there to regret in this life?

"Hehe, but Qing'er is wrong this time, although my father has good kung fu, but that is only for ordinary people, there are still some people in the world, they practice immortal law, they can fly to the sky, kill people thousands of miles away, and almost do anything. Among them, the top powerhouse turns his hands into clouds and covers his hands for rain, and he can almost pick up stars and catch the moon, and shine with heaven and earth. There was a slight pause at this point, and then he continued: "Yuntian Sect is such an immortal cultivation sect, as long as you choose one of those cultivators at random, you can crisscross the rivers and lakes, how can you compare this little effort with your father? So Qing'er can't be so low on herself!" Xu Tianshan explained with a smile, with a little bitterness in his smile, I don't know whether it was regret or self-deprecation, but Xu Qing didn't find out.

"Flying to the heavens and the earth, immortal?" Xu Qing opened his mouth wide, he was only ten years old, he really didn't dare to imagine that people could soar above the nine heavens like an eagle, fighting in the sky, and after being shocked, his eyes showed extreme longing. The immortal Xu Qing may not be interested in it now, but flying away is a fatal temptation for a child.

"Qing'er, to practice the immortal law, you must have a spiritual root, if there is no spiritual root, then there is no immortal fate. Although the ancestors of our Xu family have some friendship with those immortal cultivators in Yunmeng Mountain, if there is no spiritual root, everything is in vain. So don't be disappointed if you can't enter Yuntian Sect, Xianyuan can't force you to come, wait for you to come back and teach you martial arts for your father, even if you can't enter the Xianmen, you will definitely be able to become a famous martial arts master in the world. Looking at his son's eager eyes, Xu Tianshan was afraid that his son would be sad because he couldn't enter the Yuntian Sect, so he hurriedly said to his son.

"Father, what is a spiritual root?"

"My father doesn't know, but some people in the martial arts are born to be a wizard who practices martial arts, and some people are only a second-rate master even if they work hard all their lives, so I think the world of cultivating immortals is probably the same, some people are suitable for cultivating immortals, and some people are not suitable for cultivating immortals!"

"Spiritual root, I don't know if I have it?" Xu Qing thought in his heart, he didn't know what a spiritual root was, but at this moment, he was very eager to have a spiritual root, because he wanted to practice the immortal method, he wanted to cross the nine heavens, and go back and forth between the green and the underworld, how chic it would be.

At this moment, a golden light crossed the sky in the distance, and it came rapidly in the direction of Xu Qing's father and son. When the golden light approached, I saw a young man standing on top of a golden flying sword, his clothes fluttering, elegant and free, and the air of dust was fully revealed.

The young man was dressed in a white brocade robe, and an antique danding was embroidered on the left chest of the brocade robe. He is handsome, handsome and extraordinary, his eyes are blazing, and a little thunder is faintly visible, like the eye of divine punishment, and there is thunder in the sky when he opens and closes.

After the young man landed, Xu Tianshan hurriedly pulled Xu Qing forward and saluted:

"Congratulations to the immortal master to the cold house, this is the little Xu Qing, tired of the immortal master. ”

The young man nodded lightly: "This is the child that the ancestor confessed?" After speaking, he looked at Xu Qing carefully.

Touching the young man's gaze, Xu Qing only felt cold all over, and his heart was pounding, like a fierce beast staring at him from a distance, waiting for an opportunity to move. Xu Qing didn't know why he was so unbearable, but he didn't want the young man to see his ugly state, so he lost his father's face, so he endured his uneasiness and saluted the young man like his father: Boy Xu Qing, I have seen the immortal master.

"Yes, yes, it's rare to have such a heart!" Seeing that Xu Qing could barely maintain his composure under his spiritual sense, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and he also had a good impression of Xu Qing.

Seeing that his son was praised by the immortal master, Xu Tianshan was also proud of his son, and instructed Xu Qing:

"Qing'er, if you can enter the fairy gate, don't rush back, practice there well, it is the greatest filial piety to your father, you know?"

Xu Qing nodded and agreed to his father's request, and the young man didn't say much, and after their father and son finished explaining, they asked Xu Qing to grab him, and then the sword flew towards the depths of Yunmeng Mountain. Worried that Xu Qing's eyes would not be able to stand the strong wind, he cast a spell to form a pale golden shield to protect Xu Qing.

Xu Tianshan just looked at his son's distant back like this, until Xu Qing completely disappeared from view, and he never withdrew his gaze. In this way, his thoughts seemed to gradually return to a certain moment in the past: at that time, there was also a high-spirited young man who went to the depths of Yunmeng Mountain with a full of longing, but he came back with a look of loss and unwillingness.

Xu Tianshan just waited, the scorching sun was in the sky, but he was not impatient at all, until dusk, Xu Tianshan still did not see Xu Qing come back, only to show a happy smile, under the cover of the sunset, how bright that smile was.

He knew that his son must have passed the test and successfully entered the immortal gate. For Xu Tianshan, Xu Qing is all he has, Xu Qing can enter the immortal gate, and he will be content as a father.

The Yunmeng Mountain Range is nearly a thousand miles in circumference, with undulating mountains, strange peaks and cliffs. Xu Qing stood on the flying sword, looking at the ever-changing scenery in his field of vision, listening to the beast roar from time to time from the deep valley, and looking forward to the immortal path even more in his heart.

The Yuntian Sect occupies the Yunmeng Mountain Range alone, and there are four Yuanying-level powerhouses in the sect, and they are one of the five major immortal cultivation sects in Jianzhou.

Yunmeng Mountain leads to the Heavenly Peak, no one would have imagined that there is a different scene in such a deep mountain. There are many pavilions, birds and flowers, and from time to time there are several "immortals" shuttling between the various mountain peaks, a group of fairy atmosphere.

The young man took Xu Qing and landed on the Tongtian Peak Square, at this moment the square was crowded, but there was not too much sound, most of them were quietly queuing, as if waiting for the judgment of fate, and there was a sigh of disappointment or an irrepressible sound of joy in front of the team.

The young man did not line up at the end of the line in an orderly manner, ignoring the dissatisfied muttering from time to time or from the team, and directly led Xu Qing to the front of the line.

Tian Yu, who was testing the spiritual root, saw Wang Ming'an bringing a child to test the spiritual root, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off. You must know that although Wang Ming'an is only a disciple of the Qi refining period, he is the descendant of the ancestor of the sect, Patriarch Wang, in the world, and Wang Ming'an himself is also a strange spirit root Lei Linggen, and he has reached the twelfth layer of qi refining in only ten years, and he can build a foundation soon, with unlimited potential, and he is extremely favored by Patriarch Wang.

"It turned out to be Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Wang has only been refining qi for ten years, and he has already refined the twelfth layer of qi, so he wants to be able to build a foundation soon, right?

"Uncle Tian said with a smile, how can Ming'an be worthy of the word junior and younger brother before he has built a foundation?" Wang Ming'an said modestly.

"It's not a matter of time before Senior Brother Wang has a strange spirit root to build a foundation, why should Senior Brother be too humble, by the way, why did Senior Brother come this time?"

"This child's name is Xu Qing, and the ancestor ordered me to take him up the mountain to bother the teacher... Brother, let's help test his spiritual root, Ancestor is still waiting for my reply. Wang Mingan also knew that the other party was looking at the face of the ancestor, so he was so polite, Wang Mingan was also a free and easy person, so he didn't shirk too much.

"Since it was arranged by the patriarch, I will take a look at the spiritual root of this child now, and ask the younger brother to wait. Hearing that it was the ancestor himself, Tian Yu didn't say anything more, so he began to test Xu Qing's spiritual root.

"Why doesn't that kid in front of you line up?" someone in the line muttered dissatisfied.

"Shhh, be quiet, he was personally brought by the core disciples of the Yuntian Sect, and he must be the descendant of the predecessors in the sect, don't offend others. The person next to him reminded in a whisper.

The person who complained at the beginning quickly kept silent, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he patted his chest, looking relieved. It's just that what he doesn't know is that Tian Yu and Wang Ming'an's cultivation can naturally be heard clearly, but he is too lazy to bother with him.

Embarking on the immortal road, it not only means that you can increase your longevity, but also with the help of magic weapons, although the mortal body also has the ability to turn over the river and the sea, and shake the heavens and the earth, so the wind of cultivating immortals in the world prevails, and everyone in the world admires the immortal road. However, if you ask for immortals, you need to pay attention to the fate of immortals, if there is no spiritual root, everything is vain.

There are eight main types of spiritual roots: golden spiritual roots, wood spiritual roots, water spiritual roots, fire spiritual roots, and earth spiritual roots, plus three kinds of strange spiritual roots of ice, thunder, and wind, and some spiritual roots are really rare, so not too many people know about them. There are also advantages and disadvantages of spiritual roots, and each spiritual root in the five elements is divided into four kinds of spiritual roots: lower grade, middle grade, upper grade, and best spiritual root, and the three kinds of different spiritual roots are not divided into grades, second only to the best spiritual roots. The best spiritual root is called the Heavenly Spirit Root because it is cultivated the fastest, but this Heavenly Spirit Root is almost rare to see in a hundred years.

Cultivating immortals is the first to pay attention to the merits of the spiritual root, and people with poor spiritual roots often can't catch up with people with excellent spiritual roots after putting in ten times the effort, so when all sects select disciples, they will select people with excellent spiritual roots.

Tian Yu put his hand on Xu Qing's arm, and Xu Qing couldn't help but get nervous when he heard that he was going to test his spiritual root. After only a moment, Tian Yu withdrew his hand:

"The fire system is the upper grade spiritual root, the wood system is the middle grade spiritual root, the earth system is the middle grade spiritual root, the gold system is the middle grade spiritual root, and the water system is the middle grade spiritual root. There was regret in his tone, because Xu Qing's spiritual roots were really not good, and the more spiritual roots, the better.

The more spiritual roots there are, the more complicated the aura absorbed, and most of the exercises are monophyletic, which means that Xu Qing's absorbed aura can only refine a small part, and his cultivation will naturally be much slower than many people. However, the life span of immortal cultivators is limited, and they cannot enter the next realm before their longevity is exhausted, and they can only sit down, so multiple spiritual roots often mean that there is no hope for cultivating immortals.

If Xu Qing's spiritual roots were considered medium in ancient times, there were many cultivation methods in ancient times, and there were many exercises to refine several spiritual qi at the same time, and multiple spiritual roots had no effect. However, after encountering the drastic changes in the ancient world, the immortal cultivation world fell into a downturn for a while, and the exercises of many practitioners gradually disappeared into the years.

Xu Qing didn't know this, he only knew that he had a spiritual root and could practice immortal law, and he was secretly happy.

"I don't know... What identity token should I give this child?" Although Xu Qinglinggen was very poor, Tian Yu didn't dare to be casual, after all, this was the person explained by the ancestor, and he didn't dare to jump to conclusions before he figured out what the ancestor meant.

The disciples of the Yuntian Sect are divided into three levels: the outer gate, the inner door and the core disciples, and the treatment they receive is naturally very different, and the standard for division is the quality of the spiritual root.

"The spiritual root is so poor, I'm afraid I can only enter the outer gate, but these things that shouldn't be considered by me, the people that the ancestor wants, of course, it depends on the ancestor's meaning. Wang Ming'an thought to himself, "Please wait a while, senior brother, and wait for me to report to the ancestor and see how the ancestor arranges." Wang Ming'an saluted Tian Yu, and then walked towards the back mountain to the sword.
