55: The sharp talent penetrates the mountains and rivers!

“Reporting to the three Grand Elders…”

“You are now our three Disciples. You don’t need to call us Grand Elders like everyone else; call us Master.”

Grand Elder Xuan Yan, in his usual unkempt manner, waved his hand, interrupting Su Yang’s words.

“Yes, Revered Master!”

Su Yang changed his address, and all three nodded in satisfaction.

Their gazes remained on Su Yang, waiting for him to answer the confusion in their hearts.

When they first saw Su Yang in the square, they had already swept him up and down, inside and out, with their Divine Sense, and had not found anything special about him.

Therefore,

They needed Su Yang to tell them himself.

“On the day of the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, this Disciple attempted a Breakthrough as in previous years.”

“On that day, at the peak of the Grand Elder’s presence, this Disciple suddenly felt his entire body burning with an intense heat, as if he would explode and die. It just so happened that Junior Sister Yun Yao came to the cliff that day. This Disciple, having no other choice, used Junior Sister Yun Yao to vent his primal urges, and by a fluke, completed the Breakthrough and successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

What Su Yang described was ninety percent truth and ten percent hidden.

He told them things they could easily verify and check, while hiding things he wasn't sure if he should let them know for the time being.

“And then?”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian all frowned.

This method of Breakthrough was truly unheard of; it felt somewhat like… an Evil Path method!?

“Then this Disciple discovered that his Physique had undergone earth-shattering changes.”

“Firstly, this Disciple’s five-colored mixed Spiritual Root of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth transformed into an Innate Water Spiritual Root.”

“A Spiritual Root can change???”

The three Grand Elders, who had intended to listen to him finish, interrupted Su Yang again, their faces filled with surprise.

A special Breakthrough method was one thing, but for a Spiritual Root to undergo such a massive change during a Breakthrough, the three Grand Elders, all extraordinary beings who had lived for tens of thousands of years, had never heard of anyone whose Spiritual Root could change along with a Realm Breakthrough, despite their vast experience.

Moreover, it transformed from the most useless five-colored mixed Spiritual Root directly into the top-tier Innate Single Spiritual Root.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing tossed out a five-sided Magical Artifact made of Spirit Stone.

This was a special Magical Artifact specifically used to test Spiritual Root Aptitude and attributes. The five sides represented the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

On each side, there were also six lines carved from bottom to top, representing the six types of Spiritual Root Aptitude: ordinary, good, excellent, Innate Third Grade, Innate Second Grade, and Innate First Grade.

“Su Yang, let us see your current Spiritual Root.”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing said.

The Aptitude and attributes of a Spiritual Root cannot be detected by Divine Sense; they must be identified by a Spiritual Root detection compass.

Su Yang directly held the compass in his hand.

He infused his True Essence.

The side of the compass representing the Water Spiritual Root immediately burst forth with an extremely dazzling blue light.

This light was so blinding that Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian found it difficult to look directly at it. The intensity of this light made them gasp in astonishment.

It was the first time they had seen such a dazzling Water Spiritual Root.

And the six carved lines representing Spiritual Root Aptitude shot upwards from bottom to top, reaching the Innate First Grade line. It seemed that even Innate First Grade could not contain Su Yang’s talent, and after a moment of trembling, the light burst forth, transforming into a terrifying sharp Qi of talent that swept across.

The Water Spiritual Root side was directly facing the three Grand Elders.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian were greatly alarmed. They simultaneously acted to defend, three streams of True Essence forming layers of protection in front of them.

For the first time in their lives, they saw overflowing talent materialize into a tangible sharp Qi exploding.

They were all ancient powerful beings. Although it was their first time seeing this special sharp Qi, they quickly realized that this sharp Qi, formed from talent, was different from any power they had ever seen.

If struck by this thing, it would not damage their bodies, but would sever their talent and cripple their Spiritual Roots.

The three layers of True Essence were penetrated one by one.

The Body Integration Stage True Essence defense was as fragile and powerless as paper in the face of this sharp Qi of talent. The three Grand Elders were utterly horrified.

They dared not be careless in the slightest.

The moment the last layer of True Essence defense was cut open, the three immediately flew to dodge, avoiding standing in the path of the sharp Qi of talent.

“Boom~~~”

The statue of the Eternal Immortal Emperor was cut into two, and the wooden back wall of Grand Elder Xuan Qing’s room collapsed with a crash.

The sharp Qi, its momentum undiminished,Domineeringly swept towards the distant snowy mountains. The peak of the snowy mountain in front offered no resistance, its entire summit pierced through.

It continued to rush into the distance, piercing through several mountain peaks before gradually dissipating and disappearing.

The three Grand Elders were left dumbfounded, their eyes as clear as greenhorns who had just stepped through the gate of Cultivation.

Gu Yue, who had been lying on Su Yang’s shoulder, was also shocked by this unprecedented spectacle, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at the pierced snowy mountains in the distance. This talent was simply too terrifying.

“You brat… what kind of monster are you???”

Grand Elder Xuan Jian turned his head with a creaking sound, his gaze at Su Yang no longer that of an excellent Disciple, but rather that of a great terror he had never encountered before.

Innate First Grade Spiritual Roots were rare, but not nonexistent.

However, someone whose talent overflowed and materialized into sharp Qi that pierced through mountains and rivers, he was the first!

Even the Eternal Immortal Emperor back then didn't possess such terrifying talent… did he?

Su Yang: …I’m also confused.

This situation never occurred when I tested my Spiritual Root before.

Who would have thought that testing my Spiritual Root this time would lead to such a terrifying situation?

This talent has reached its peak, right!?

“Xuan Qing, those few mountains, they should all be cut through, right?”

Grand Elder Xuan Yan watched the distant snowy mountains, which appeared as if nothing had happened, his mouth twitching.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing also nodded, his mouth twitching.

After a moment of daze, he refocused his attention.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing raised his hand, and trees in the mountain uprooted themselves, being cut into regular pieces of wood by an invisible force, flying over to reassemble the collapsed back wall.

This was to prevent Grand Elder Xuan Qing’s room from completely collapsing.

“Give it back to me, don’t accidentally do that again.”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing immediately retrieved the compass from Su Yang’s hand.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing, Grand Elder Xuan Yan, and Grand Elder Xuan Jian directly sat cross-legged on the ground, motioning for Su Yang not to stand, but to sit down and talk.

“I apologize for startling the three Revered Masters.”

Su Yang bowed, the unexpected incident was indeed something he hadn't anticipated either.

Even as a Transmigrator, he hadn’t expected his talent to be so powerful that it could materialize into sharp Qi and burst forth.

“You brat really gave me a fright.”

Grand Elder Xuan Jian said.

Grand Elder Xuan Qing and Grand Elder Xuan Yan both nodded in agreement.

At the same time, the gazes of these three ancient powerful beings, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, became even more special when they looked at Su Yang.

Such terrifying talent had far exceeded the scope of ordinary Spell Cultivators.

This brat… perhaps he is the Reincarnation of some powerful being!?

Otherwise, an ordinary Spell Cultivator, no matter how high their talent, couldn't possibly be so outrageously high!

The three Grand Elders exchanged glances, the seriousness in their eyes clearly visible.

This seriousness was temporarily suppressed by them as they refocused their attention on Su Yang.

“After you discovered the change in your Spiritual Root, did your cultivation begin to grow explosively?”

Grand Elder Xuan Qing asked.

Su Yang shook his head and said, “On the contrary, afterwards I found myself in a state where I couldn’t Cultivate.”

“What do you mean?”

The three Grand Elders were bewildered again.

Did they Cultivate for tens of thousands of years in vain!?

How is it that with this brat, everything they encountered was something they had never heard of or seen before…
