Chapter 2622

Testing the Dao Root

"Dao Roots are divided into grades as well, and they're respectively Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow. The highest grade is the Heaven Grade Dao Root, and the lowest is the Yellow Grade Dao Root. It's practically impossible for those without Dao Roots to attain the Dao," said Sun Qi indifferently.

"You go first!"

Sun Qi pointed at the old man as he spoke. It was this old man who'd suggested testing the Dao Root.

Even though the old man seemed to be old and weak, he was extremely interested in testing the Dao Root. So, he stood up while a trace of spirit appeared in his muddy eyes.

"Place your right hand on the Testing Stone!" said Sun Qi.

The old man nodded and placed his right hand on the crystal. After that, Sun Qi started to chant, and then the translucent and crystalline Testing Stone started to change.

The crystal emanated a trace of yellow light. However, the yellow light was extremely weak, and it was like the afterglow of dusk. It was filled with the aura of someone past their prime.

"It's barely an Dao Root, but it's very weak. It can probably only be called a Pseudo Dao Root!"

Sun Qi's indifferent voice resounded while his gaze carried disdain.

Pseudo Dao Roots could be found everywhere in the Xuan Mi Heavenly Region. It was very difficult for cultivators that possessed Pseudo Dao Roots to attain the Dao by themselves unless a great figure spent a great deal of effort to help them attain the Dao by force.

However, this was an arduous and unrewarding task. After a cultivator with a Pseudo Dao Root was forcefully attained by a great figure, their cultivation would forever remain at the Heaven Dao Lord Realm, and they would be unable to advance in their entire lifetime, let alone break through.

However, Sun Qi didn't reveal his disdain. After all, the old man was the person in charge of the Tusita Heavenly Region. If Sun Qi wanted to recruit people from the Tusita Heavenly Region, then he had to rely on the old man's ability to rally people.

The old man frowned when he saw the results of the test. Obviously, he wasn't satisfied with the results.

It was obvious that the old man's natural talent was very ordinary, and it was probably very difficult for him to attain the Dao.

After that, Sun Qi went to test the Dao Roots of the three people in charge of the Boundless Radiance Heavenly Region, Yemo Heavenly Region, and Mahesvara Heavenly Region. He noticed that they were only slightly stronger than the old man and had barely attained the Yellow Grade Dao Root.

"Let me give it a try!"

Yao Xiangjun was very interested and started to test it as well.

The crystal suddenly emitted a blazing yellow light, and when the yellow light reached its peak, it suddenly changed into a cyan color.

Although the green light wasn't as intense as the yellow light, it was still dazzling enough.

Sun Qi's eyes lit up, and he gazed at Yao Xiangjun with pleasant surprise as he said, "It's actually a Profound Grade Ancestral Dao Root. Miss Yao, it's truly a waste of your natural talent not to head to the Dark Valley Heavenly Region. Come back with me, and my White Rainbow Hall will definitely place emphasis on fostering you. In the future, your cultivation will at least be at the level of Lord Chaotic, and perhaps you'll be able to break through to the second step of the Dao Validation."

Yao Xiangjun's beautiful eyes were also filled with excitement, but she quickly calmed down and said, "If you can help me kill Sakyamuni, why can't I follow you back to the White Rainbow Hall in the Xuan Mi Heavenly Region?"

Sun Qi's brows knit together tightly. Sakyamuni was the person he thought highly of the most. As far as he was concerned, Sakyamuni's Ancestral Dao Root was at least at the Profound Grade, and he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to recruit such a genius, let alone deal with Sakyamuni.

Yao Xiangjun noticed Sun Qi's dilemma as well, and she grunted coldly before sitting back down without saying a word.

Sun Qi was slightly helpless, yet his gaze descended onto Mu Chenxue, and there was a different expression in the depths of his eyes.

"Miss Mo, would you like to take the test as well?" asked Sun Qi.

Mu Chenxue refused resolutely. "There's no need. I'm clearly aware of whether I possess a Spirit Vein or not."

Sun Qi glanced deeply at Mu Chenxue, yet he didn't force her. He looked at Sakyamuni instead because amongst all of them, he was actually the one who looked forward to Sakyamuni's Ancestral Dao Root the most.

"I'll take the test as well!"

Sakyamuni nodded, and then he walked over to Sun Qi and covered the crystal with his right palm.

In just an instant, yellow light shot into the sky, and then the yellow light swiftly changed into green light. Moreover, the green light grew more and more dazzling, and it even surpassed the intensity of the green light Yao Xiangjun emitted during her test.

Sun Qi's eyes lit up, and then he noticed to his pleasant surprise that the bright light suddenly shot into the sky and slowly turned brown.

Only when the color had completely turned brown did the light slowly recede.

Sakyamuni frowned slightly. The crystal had only changed color three times, yet Ancestral Dao Roots had four grades. In other words, his Ancestral Dao Root could only be considered to be an Earthly Grade Ancestral Dao Root, and it hadn't attained the Heavenly Grade.

However, Sun Qi was truly shocked. He hadn't expected that Sakyamuni's natural talent would be so formidable and actually possess an Earthly Grade Ancestral Dao Root.

After all, Earthly Grade Ancestral Dao Roots were 655% capable of stepping into the second step of the Dao Advancement so long as one didn't perish on the way.

I must take this fellow into the White Rainbow Hall, no matter the cost!

Sun Qi's eyes revealed a wisp of bright light, and his gaze towards Sakyamuni grew even brighter. At the same time, there was a wisp of gloominess in his gaze.

He was very clearly aware that he'd already occupied the initiative when he came to the eight great heavens this time, and he was absolutely unwilling to let such a genius like Sakyamuni slip by.

If Chen Xi was taken by another power, then it would absolutely be a huge loss to the White Rainbow Hall.

He'd decided to invite Sakyamuni again. If Sakyamuni didn't know what was good for him, then he could only make a move and annihilate Sakyamuni. After all, annihilating such a genius with his own hands was better than falling into the hands of another power.

Sakyamuni's perception was extremely acute, and he'd sensed Sun Qi's killing intent at the instant he revealed it.

Sakyamuni thought for a moment and understood Sun Qi's thoughts at this moment.

"Sakyamuni, so long as you agree to join the White Rainbow Hall, then I promise that you'll definitely become the successor of the White Rainbow Hall in the future. Besides that, I've already sent a message to our Hall Master regarding your matters, and he's willing to make you the successor." Sun Qi suppressed the excitement in his heart and extended another invitation to Sakyamuni.

Sakyamuni fell into silence. He was very clearly aware that if he refused again, then he would stand on the opposite side of Sun Qi, and that was absolutely unwise.

After all, he'd just attained the Dao, and his cultivation hadn't stabilized. Moreover, Sun Qi had attained the Dao much longer than him, and Sun Qi possessed many trump cards.

If they really fought, then Sakyamuni knew that he wasn't a match for Sun Qi at this moment.

Sakyamuni was silent for a moment, but then he smiled and said, "I'm honored to join the White Rainbow Hall."

Sun Qi was startled. He didn't expect Sakyamuni, who'd tactfully refused him before, to agree so readily now. He was overjoyed and didn't think about the contrast between Sakyamuni's attitude before and after.

"Haha!

Sakyamuni, don't worry, if you join our White Rainbow Hall, we'll do our best to cultivate you in the future and help you step into the Second Step of Dao Validation as soon as possible. "Sun Qi laughed.

Sakyamuni just nodded slightly, but then he looked at Mu Chenxue and Yao Xiangjun and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Sun, when the time comes, you're welcome to come to the Sakyamuni Domain to recruit people, but before that, I may have to deal with some grievances."

Sun Qi was startled, but he quickly recovered and looked at Mu Chenxue and Yao Xiangjun and said with a smile, "Do you need my help?"

Sakyamuni grinned and said, "There's no need to trouble Senior Brother Sun with such trivial matters!"

Yao Xiangjun and Mu Chenxue's expressions changed drastically. They didn't expect such a thing to happen. Looking at Sun Qi's appearance, they were afraid that he was going to help Sakyamuni.
