Jiang Wan smiled at her, leaned in, and forcefully took her hand, pulling her forward together.
She turned her head and whispered in her ear:
"Your mother has already been arrested. If I didn't want to lose face for the Great Myriad Sect in front of so many sects, I would have beaten you up directly."
Jiang Yao struggled to break free from her grasp, and Jiang Wan tightened her grip, warning her.
"Behave yourself!
Did you think that by throwing me down there, I wouldn't be able to get out? Are you very disappointed?"
Jiang Yao was shocked. She had really come out of the Myriad Snake Den. She blurted out.
"How did you get out?"
Jiang Wan smiled.
"I used— I'm not telling you!"
How else could she have gotten up? She just shouted and came up!
At that time, no matter how good the equipment on her body was, it could only be durable. If her Spiritual Power wasn't enough, it would all be in vain, at most, the defense would prevent her from being seriously injured.
With her Qi Refining Third Layer Spiritual Power, she couldn't last long enough to use the Wind Thunder Wings to fly up, but she still had her Literary Core and Words Become Law!
She just said, "A roc rises with the wind one day, soaring ninety thousand li—!"
A gust of wind blew, carrying her towards the sky. When she reached the gale zone, she took out the Wind Settling Pearl, and the raging gale was blocked by the Wind Settling Pearl.
When the wind from Words Become Law was also stabilized, the Wind Thunder Wings behind Jiang Wan flapped, and she shot up like a bolt of lightning.
After she came up, she didn't go back immediately. Instead, she sent a sound transmission to her Master.
It was precisely when Venerable Yu Yi, after listening to Madam Li's words, was about to go to the Demonic Sect that his expression shifted. The sound transmission Jade Slip from his little disciple in his storage ring lit up.
After finding his disciple, Venerable Yu Yi immediately arrested Madam Li.
When Madam Li saw that her plan had been exposed, her heart turned cold. She had watched Jiang Wan fall with her own eyes, and if she didn't die then, she could still come back up.
She really didn't expect that Jiang Wan, a mere three-year-old child, would be so hard to kill!
It was one thing that she was unharmed when she was thrown off the cliff last time, but this time she actually managed to come back alive.
Madam Li was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Originally, she didn't want to admit it, but Jiang Wan took out the Imprint Treasure Mirror and replayed the events of the night. Madam Li was speechless.
She admitted that she did it because she didn't want Jiang Wan to steal the spotlight from her daughter.
Venerable Yu Yi's face turned dark. Since she didn't want her daughter's spotlight to be stolen, he would make her watch her daughter's spotlight be stolen with her own eyes.
So, he dug out his disciple who was already in seclusion and let that mischievous grand-disciple also join the disciple-accepting ceremony.
Little friend Xu Hengliang had no idea about any of this. When he heard his Master tell him to participate in the disciple-accepting ceremony together, tears of gratitude welled up in his eyes.
If he hadn't considered himself a man, he would have been so moved that he would have hugged his Master and cried.
The three little ones walked to the head of the table, and a female disciple brought a tray for them to offer tea.
The three knelt down to offer tea to their respective Masters.
The three at the head of the table acted in unison, picked up their teacups, took a sip, put them aside, and then each took out a storage ring for them.
The officiant beside them spoke.
"Next, please have the three young disciples test their spiritual root aptitude!"
Testing spiritual roots, Jiang Yao's eyes lit up again.
Jiang Wan was a useless Five Elements Mixed Spiritual Root. What could she use to compare with her Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Root?
Fortunately, she could still win a round during the spiritual root test.
A disciple brought a Spirit Testing Bead. Starting with Jiang Yao, she placed her hand on it. A pillar of light of the Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Root color shot up into the sky.
The crowd below didn't gasp in surprise. After all, it was not unreasonable for a Spirit Transmutation Venerable to take a disciple with poor aptitude.
They had thought it would be a single spiritual root or a mutated spiritual root, but it turned out to be a dual spiritual root.
"A Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Root aptitude is quite good for a girl!"
"Yes, a Water-Wood Dual Spiritual Root is also pretty good!"
Listening to the discussions from below, Venerable Wanhe's expression was calm. What he cared about was this little girl's Fortune. Spiritual roots were just the foundation for walking the Great Dao, but Fortune was the key.
When it was Jiang Wan's turn, she placed her small hand on the Spirit Testing Bead. The five-colored spiritual light transformed into pillars of varying lengths that shot up into the sky.
Someone exclaimed, "Mixed Spiritual Root?!"
"What's going on? How can it be a Mixed Spiritual Root?"
"Yes, isn't a Mixed Spiritual Root the worst spiritual root for a cultivator?"
"Venerable Yu Yi, a dignified late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, why would he take a little girl with a Mixed Spiritual Root as a disciple?"
The smile on Jiang Yao's lips couldn't be suppressed.
'Jiang Wan, even if you participated in the disciple-accepting ceremony, what does it matter? Your useless aptitude is still embarrassing?!'
Even Venerable Wanhe, who didn't place much importance on spiritual root aptitude, had a rare look of surprise on his face, glancing strangely at Venerable Yu Yi beside him.
Is the old man losing his mind? he thought.
Just then, amidst the five uneven multicolored light pillars, a purple light pillar, carrying immense thunder, shot up into the sky, reaching the highest heavens.
In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and the sky became covered with thunderclouds, lightning flashing intermittently, as if a large-scale heavenly tribulation would descend at any moment.
"Hiss!"
All the cultivators present suddenly stood up from their seats, staring in shock at the purple light pillar and the anomaly in the sky.
"Mutated Lightning Spiritual Root?"
"No! This isn't a mutated lightning spiritual root, it's an Innate Lightning Spiritual Root!"
"Innate Qi can communicate with the Primordial Great Dao, an Innate Lightning Spiritual Root, no wonder it has such power!"
"Yes, this spiritual root anomaly contains vast Innate Qi, which is why it could stir up the wind and clouds."
"We were mistaken before. We never expected this little girl to have an Innate Lightning Spiritual Root. No wonder she caught Venerable Yu Yi's eye."
Venerable Yu Yi was equally shocked. When he took Jiang Wan as his disciple, he never expected Jiang Wan to also have a lightning spiritual root, let alone an Innate Lightning Spiritual Root!
The most shocked among them was Jiang Yao.
In her previous life, she had lived for five hundred years and never knew Jiang Wan had a lightning spiritual root. This was impossible, absolutely impossible. She must have cheated!
Jiang Wan retracted her hand, and the anomaly in the sky disappeared. The wind, clouds, and thunder from before seemed to have never happened, and the sky returned to its clear and bright state.
Jiang Yao stared intently at Jiang Wan.
"Junior Sister, you only tested your spiritual root a little over two months ago, and you didn't have a lightning spiritual root then. How do you have one now?"
Jiang Wan suddenly smiled, her eyes curving.
"I don't know either. Last night, when your mother threw me down that cliff, I was so hungry that I ate a purple fruit at the bottom of the cliff, and then I gained this lightning spiritual root! Oh my, speaking of which, I should thank you!"
If Jiang Yao were truly a three-year-old child, these words would have made her cry with anger.
Even though Jiang Yao wasn't a three-year-old child, she was close to breaking down from anger.
If she had known there was a Lightning Spirit Fruit in the Myriad Snake Den, she would never have let Jiang Wan have it.
But even after eating a Lightning Spirit Fruit, it shouldn't have produced a lightning spiritual root. What was going on?
The spiritual root testing bead was passed to young Xu Hengliang. Xu Hengliang glanced at Jiang Wan with a complicated expression and placed his hand on the testing bead.
