"......The Leap to Immortality Assembly officially begins. Here, I wish all the immortal sects to find satisfactory disciples, and all the geniuses participating in the Leap to Immortality Assembly to transcend the mortal realm and become true disciples of the immortal sects."

As the Emperor of the Stellar Transformations Empire announced the official opening of the Leap to Immortality Assembly, a passage several dozen feet wide appeared in the crowd, leading directly to the marble platform in the middle of the Imperial Capital's square.

At this moment, the Emperor of the Stellar Transformations Empire stepped down, and two people responsible for recording the test results stood next to the spirit root testing crystal pillar.

A man in official attire walked to the middle of the marble platform with a leather scroll and loudly announced, "Ou Zuoce from Changluo County, come up for the test, Wei Xi prepare for the test..."

As the man in official attire finished announcing the two names, a young man in golden robes swiftly walked from the several dozen feet wide passage in the middle to the front of the marble platform. With a leap, he landed on the marble platform. After landing on the platform, this young man did not immediately begin the test but instead turned around and looked smugly at the crowd gathered in the square.

It must be said that the young man's figure was very attractive, and even some female voices in the audience let out screams.

Shen Lian sneered, "This guy loves to show off too much. Unless his spiritual root is heaven-defying, no major immortal sect will want him because his progress will be limited."

The golden-robed youth stood in front of the testing crystal pillar, and a yellowish-brown light shot up from the bottom of the crystal pillar, stopping at the five-foot mark.

A person standing next to the crystal testing pillar then announced loudly, "Ou Zuoce from Changluo County, medium-grade earth spiritual root, below average aptitude."

Mo Wuji saw that the golden-robed youth's expression was still quite satisfied. Obviously, he should have already known his spiritual root aptitude, knowing that with his spiritual root aptitude, he could join some immortal sects and become an outer disciple.

However, the young man's expression quickly froze. He did not see any immortal sects showing interest in him.

Don't think that the Emperor of the Stellar Transformations Empire put it simply, that those with spiritual roots can choose the immortal sect they want to go to. But the prerequisite is that the immortal sect you can choose must be a sect that is interested in you. If they are not interested in you, no matter how good your spiritual root is, it is meaningless.

The golden-robed youth was a little stunned, but others did not pay attention to him. Another man responsible for testing spiritual roots, seeing that Ou Zuoce was still standing on the stage, said somewhat unhappily, "No immortal sect has chosen you, why aren't you hurrying down?"

"Yes, yes..." Only then did Ou Zuoce wake up, his face flushed as he quickly walked off the stage.

Mo Wuji shook his head. Even if this guy was selected by an immortal sect, his achievements would not be too high. Not to mention that he liked to show off even though his aptitude wasn't great, but the fact that he was ashamed instead of disappointed after being rejected showed that he did not have the proper mentality for pursuing strength.

At this moment, the testing pillar shone with a golden light that was nearly nine feet tall.

"...Wei Xi from Changluo County, high-grade metal spiritual root, above average aptitude." The person in charge of testing spiritual roots called out again.

Immediately, Mo Wuji saw golden lights light up in the locations of two sects. He looked at Shen Lian with confusion and asked, "Shen Lian, shouldn't this mean that two sects have taken a liking to Wei Xi? Why is it that only two sects are choosing a high-grade spiritual root? Could it be that the immortal sects here all want top-grade spiritual roots?"

Shen Lian replied, "Naturally not, unless it's those top-tier geniuses. Under normal circumstances, after an immortal sect has chosen someone, other immortal sects generally do not participate in the competition. The fact that two immortal sects are choosing her means that both of them lit up their golden lights at the same time. Otherwise, you would have seen only one."

"The Earth-grade sect Golden Spear Sect and the Firebird Sect have both chosen Wei Xi. Please, Wei Xi, go to the sect of your choice. Next, Cheng Fei from Changluo County, come forward for the test..."

The man in charge of testing called out loudly again.

Many eager and envious eyes fell on Wei Xi. Wei Xi not only received the favor of an Earth-grade sect but could also choose which sect to join.

Just as everyone's gaze was following Wei Xi's movements, a soaring red light attracted everyone's attention. This light was about one and a half zhang tall, and if it rose a few more feet, it would reach the top. Not only that, but this light was also extremely dazzling.

Mo Wuji once again thought of Yan'er. When Yan'er was tested, there was such a soaring light.

The reason why Yan'er's light was not as high as this person named Cheng Fei was definitely because the level of the testing crystal pillar was not high enough.

"Cheng Fei from Changluo County, top-grade fire-type spiritual root, top-tier aptitude..." The voice of the person announcing the results was trembling.

Almost at the same time that the tester announced Cheng Fei's name, more than ten immortal sects lit up with golden light. It was clear that this guy named Cheng Fei had sparked a competition among more than ten immortal sects.

"Quasi-Heaven-grade sects Heavenly Pole Palace, Blazing Fire Sect, Azure Fall Gate, Heavenly Devil Sect..."

As the person in charge of testing announced the sect names, Shen Lian, who was next to Mo Wuji, said in a somewhat shocked whisper, "Good heavens, almost all of the Stellar Transformations Empire's quasi-Heaven sects have joined the competition."

Mo Wuji clenched his fists. He thought of Yan'er, who had been snatched away by that dead woman, and was even more furious. This was where Yan'er should have come, allowing Yan'er to choose among these major sects instead of being snatched away.

Being able to choose from so many quasi-Heaven sects was like being treated as the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Amidst the envious and awed gazes of the crowd, Cheng Fei chose the Heavenly Pole Palace.

After that, no more top-grade spiritual roots appeared. The best that appeared were high-grade spiritual roots, and more were low-grade and medium-grade spiritual roots.

"Wuji, I actually have a medium-grade earth spiritual root. I'm going to participate in the Leap to Immortality test in a while..." Ding Bu'er's extremely excited voice came, and Mo Wuji saw Ding Bu'er rushing over excitedly.

"Bu'er, congratulations to you." Mo Wuji was also happy for Ding Bu'er.

"Why aren't you trying your luck?" Shen Lian looked at Mo Wuji with puzzlement.

Mo Wuji did not speak. He was just a mortal root, how could he try his luck.

"Oh, Wen Manzhu is on stage for the test..." Ding Bu'er said half a sentence before subconsciously stopping. He remembered the rumors between Wen Manzhu and Mo Wuji.

A red pillar of light shot straight up to a position more than eight feet high before stopping. Mo Wuji was also inwardly impressed. This Wen Manzhu's aptitude was really good.

Sure enough, the man testing the spiritual roots loudly announced, "Wen Manzhu from Chengyu Kingdom, high-grade fire-type spiritual root, above average aptitude."

Three immortal sects lit up with golden light at the same time, clearly all interested in the fire-type spiritual root of Wen Manzhu. Mo Wuji saw the golden light of the Heavenly Pole Palace light up, and he knew that Wen Manzhu would definitely choose the Heavenly Pole Palace.

"That woman is really lucky." Ding Bu'er said with a slightly envious tone.

Mo Wuji smiled slightly. So what if she had a high-grade spiritual root? He didn't have a spiritual root, but that didn't mean his cultivation would be weaker than someone with a high-grade spiritual root. Not being able to cultivate without a spiritual root did not apply to him.

"Get out of the way, how can a beggar like this come to the Leap to Immortality Assembly? It's simply an insult to this solemn assembly..." A reprimanding voice sounded not far behind Mo Wuji, and then Mo Wuji heard a painful groan.

Mo Wuji subconsciously looked back, and when he saw a disheveled, skinny woman being kicked away and falling to the ground, his heart clenched violently. Almost in the next moment, Mo Wuji had already rushed over.

It was Yan'er, that person was definitely Yan'er, he was absolutely not mistaken. But why would Yan'er be here? And in such a miserable state?
