Chapter 1062: Chapter 581: Wishing to Acknowledge the Sect Leader as Foster Father Chapter 1062: Chapter 581: Wishing to Acknowledge the Sect Leader as Foster Father After hearing Chen Mobai’s introduction, Yin Qingmei’s gaze towards the Biyu Wutong tree changed completely.
In her eyes, this Biyu Wutong tree was so towering and majestic, its straight trunk like a pillar of heaven, with its dense canopy spreading out, resembling a crown.
Within the green shade of the canopy, the grass was as lush as a carpet, and standing among it, she felt as if she were in another world, seemingly blessed by the Divine Tree, experiencing an unprecedented warmth and peace!
“Sect Leader…this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root…”
Yin Qingmei coveted it, but also felt unworthy; after all, this was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root that, according to legend, was as to follow the Heavenly Sovereign, even in the East Land, it would be an unsurpassed treasure contested by those Holy Lands.
As a result, when she spoke, she stopped short, the refined and delicate features of her face contorting awkwardly, her fair cheeks flushing slightly with reluctance to openly ask for such a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, leaving her to gaze eagerly at Chen Mobai.
“This is the most precious treasure of the Longevity Sect within this Secret Realm. The three Everlife Woods combined are not even one ten-thousandth as precious as it. In ancient times, only the very top Holy Sons and Daughters who practiced the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture had the chance to make this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root their Destiny Spirit Plant.”
Chen Mobai continued to boast. As he spoke, a look of reluctance and indecision appeared on his face, causing Yin Qingmei’s emotions to fluctuate with his expressions.
“Sect Leader, may I have this opportunity?”
Yin Qingmei’s heart and mind were swayed by Chen Mobai’s words, feeling that the greatest opportunity of her life was before her, and that if she didn’t seize it, she would regret it for eons.
“I am the Longevity Sect Saint Son, and because I don’t practice the Qing Emperor’s Longevity Scripture, this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root seedling reserved for me could only be planted here to grow freely. According to the rules, if I cannot use it, I must leave it until the next talent passes the trial to become the Longevity Sect Saint Heir. It’s really a bit difficult for you to want it…”
Although Chen Mobai had already decided to give the Biyu Wutong tree to Yin Qingmei for cultivation, to reflect the preciousness of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, he still needed to play her a bit more to avoid her taking it too easily and not cherishing it.
“Sect Leader, how can I be qualified to use this Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root? Do I need to join the Longevity Sect, or will you take me into the Sect?”
At this moment, Yin Qingmei’s heart and mind were completely controlled by Chen Mobai, her eyes fixated on the towering and lush Biyu Wutong tree before her, dreaming of obtaining this earth-shattering opportunity.
“The Longevity Sect ascended to the Upper Realm with the Heavenly Sovereign in ancient times, leaving only the cultivators who passed the Longevity Inquiry to be recognized by the Great Dao Tree as a disciple of the sect. How many steps did you take in front of the Great Dao Tree after your Foundation Establishment into the Secret Realm?”
“Disciple was inadequate in strength and lost consciousness at the eighth step,” she said with some embarrassment, bowing her head. As a possessor of Heavenly Spiritual Root, the resources she accessed while cultivating were basically the best among those at her Realm.
But her performance in front of the Great Dao Tree was only average.
Mu Yuan, E Yun, King Zhou, they too had the same result. As someone who was on par with Hong He, a Heavenly Spiritual Root, Yin Qingmei’s failure to step beyond the eighth step could be described as a significant failure.
Chen Mobai asked carefully and detected the problem.
The Longevity Inquiry challenges the three aspects of Essence, Qi, and Spirit; any shortcoming in one area is not acceptable.
It was for this reason that Hong He managed to step out nine steps.
Although Yin Qingmei was a possessor of Heavenly Spiritual Root, prior to Foundation Establishment, Chen Mobai had not yet preached the Dao to her, focusing primarily on elevating her Spiritual Power Realm. Although her Divine Sense had some achievements, she never practiced any Body Refining Technique.
It was for this reason that she failed while forcibly taking the eighth step during the Longevity Inquiry.
“Eight steps, however, is not regrettable. After all, the Longevity Sect rules state that only the Saint Heirs can use the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root, and the standard is taking twelve steps before the Great Dao Tree.”
Chen Mobai’s words not only embarrassed Yin Qingmei, but also made her look up to him with admiration.
She thought that the Sect Leader indeed had the strongest swordsmanship talent in the Eastern Wilderness for a millennium, actually managing to take twelve steps before the Great Dao Tree.
Even though she was a Heavenly Spiritual Root, the gap between her and the Sect Leader was like the difference between heaven and earth.
“Sect Leader, is there another way?”
While Yin Qingmei admired and aspired to Chen Mobai’s unrivaled talent, she still did not give up the chance to obtain the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root.
“The Sect Rules are such, and although I, as the Longevity Sect Saint Son, can barely be called the acting Sect Hierarch in the absence of the Heavenly Sovereign and the other powers ascending, it’s also not good for me to destroy rules that have continued for tens of thousands of years for your sake…”
Chen Mobai put it this way, his expression hesitant, conveying a conflicted idea about whether to find a way to break the Sect’s regulations for Yin Qingmei’s sake.
“Sect Leader, I once saw in a hidden volume of ancient miscellaneous records that the Longevity Sect advocates generation-to-generation binding and inheritance among the cultivators within the sect,” said Yin Qingmei, suddenly biting her teeth and speaking out a sentence that surprised Chen Mobai.
What does that mean?
“This means, if the descendants of the Longevity Sect’s cultivators possess a Spiritual Root capable of cultivation, they must also join the Longevity Sect, otherwise, it would be regarded as disloyal and unfilial to the Heavenly Sovereign,” she explained.
