Chapter 442 The Beginning

Li Shi appeared, having returned with the skills of cultivation.

This matter gradually became known to the world, and people began to slowly pursue this so-called path of cultivation.

Immortality—the allure of these two words was immense.

Everyone said that immortality was unattainable, but now that an opportunity was right before their eyes, they wanted to see if they could reach the threshold of immortality themselves.

Li Shi returned home and recounted to Li Daoran some of the things he had experienced, as well as how he had obtained the Legacy and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Li Daoran heard this and realized that his son was indeed that peerless Genius.

Li Daoran thought of something: "Can I also cultivate?"

Li Shi spoke up: "Cultivation has limitations; only those with a Spiritual Root can cultivate. I possess a four-fold Spiritual Root, which is why I was able to embark on the path to immortality and obtain that Legacy."

Those without a Spiritual Root cannot discover the predestined affinity for immortality, nor can they enter the path of the Dao.

Upon hearing this, Li Daoran asked: "Then do I have this so-called Spiritual Root?"

Li Shi took out a tool for testing Spiritual Roots.

"Father, just place your hand on it and you will know. If you have a Spiritual Root, it will light up."

Li Daoran looked at the tool before him, feeling the blood in the depths of his heart begin to burn.

Li Daoran felt a little nervous and slowly placed his hand on it.

However, after a moment, there was no change. Seeing this, Li Daoran said:

"Is that so? Do I have no affinity for immortality? Forget it, I have lived enough in this life."

Seeing this, Li Shi said: "Father…"

"People with Spiritual Roots are very rare; perhaps one in ten thousand, or even fewer."

"That is why I want to announce it to the world, to guide those with the affinity to embark on the path to immortality."

Li Daoran naturally supported Li Shi's decision, as he could use his own influence to make the announcement to the world.

In the period that followed.

News spread that Li Shi was going to establish a Sect. Regarding the name of the School in the world of cultivation, Li Shi decided:

"Let's call it the Taichu Sect."

Most of the world learned about the Taichu Sect.

There were also conditions regarding cultivation; one needed a Spiritual Root.

Those with a Spiritual Root could enter.

People began to flock to the Taichu Sect one after another.

Meanwhile, at the Li Family, Li Shi was testing everyone in the Family for Spiritual Roots.

But even as they were finishing the tests, there had been no changes.

In the corner, a plain-looking mother and daughter watched as it was almost their turn.

The child was a bit nervous.

"Don't worry, Yunshu, it's alright."

When Li Yunshu finally placed her hand on it, the tool finally emitted a glimmer of light.

This anomaly caused the members of the Li Family to exclaim in surprise.

"This is a Spiritual Root! Our Li Family still has someone with a Spiritual Root!"

This situation was something Li Shi had not expected; their Li Family still had someone with a Spiritual Root.

This was certainly a good thing.

But in the process that followed, no one else with a Spiritual Root appeared.

Later, Li Yi also tested everyone in the city.

Only a few people had Spiritual Roots, and they were all children.

And only one had achieved a four-fold Spiritual Root, while the rest were five-fold Spiritual Roots.

But Li Shi was already quite satisfied with this; he had originally prepared for the worst.

Now, the Taichu Sect had begun construction, and most of the people in the entire city came to help.

This was actually a good thing for them; their homes were close by, and they didn't need to think twice to know what this place would become in the future.

With so many people helping, it was finally completed before the day the Sect opened.

At this moment, a great number of people had gathered here.

Everyone was waiting for the final test.

Those who came here all fantasized about having a Spiritual Root.

As time passed, the testing began.

This round of testing took quite a while to finish.

The total number of people who possessed them in this test was less than a hundred.

But for now, this was enough, and the path of cultivation had thus begun.

As time passed, the number of people with Spiritual Roots began to increase.

The number of people cultivating gradually increased as well.

Occasionally, some Yao Beasts would appear, and the Taichu Sect would dispatch people to deal with them.

With the passage of time, the Taichu Sect had clearly become the most dazzling existence in this world.

Everyone wanted to join it.

Li Shi's name was known to everyone, and to this day, he had become the ancestor of Qi Refining.

This was the current state of the world's development.

Li Shi was now over a hundred years old, and his Lifespan in the Qi Refinement Stage was not long.

Now, many people in this world had begun to embark on the path of cultivation.

And that barrier of the Yao Race was also slowly opening.

The Taiyin Spirit looked down at Li Shi: "This Li Shi is even more outstanding than we expected."

"His leadership ability and judgment regarding matters are excellent."

"Therefore, the development of this world is faster than we anticipated."

"However, Li Shi's current situation is such that he cannot cross that threshold."

"Unless we intervene, there is no hope, or perhaps a miracle must occur. However, I do not suggest doing so; letting things take their natural course might be better."

Su Yu nodded: "I know that much."

"Let's go down and take a look as well."

The two of them took the form of ordinary people and entered the city.

By now, the city had become extremely large.

It had basically everything inside.

And the Taichu Sect was right in the center of the city; it was the place everyone wanted to join.

No one in the city noticed the two of them.

Just then, cries of surprise rang out: "Look, it's the Disciples of the Taichu Sect! They've come here again."

Su Yu and the other looked over. Two people wearing the Sect's attire were walking outward, with long swords strapped to their backs.

They looked upright and awe-inspiring.

Both of these two were at the Qi Refining First Layer; among these people, they were indeed outstanding.

The people of the Taichu Sect were very popular here because they often left the Sect to help them solve problems.

They would also protect their safety and such.

Su Yu and the other were quite satisfied watching this scene.

A correct leader is very important.

If these people considered themselves superior and looked down on others,

then it wouldn't be long before this Sect disappeared.

Everyone looked at the Taichu Sect members: "If only I could join the Taichu Sect as well; then I could also protect the world. The people of the Taichu Sect are truly cool."

Just then, the two Taichu Sect members felt that two gazes seemed a bit different.

But they couldn't discover anything.

The two of them had come this time to patrol and see if any abnormal events had occurred.

Recently, some things had happened that caught their attention.
