In a Mystical Universe, an Imperial Castle stood tall. This castle was owned by the Imperial Meng Clan.

A resounding cry of baby sounds, then the sound of bang of the opening of the door was heard.

A tall man dashed beside the a woman, who was caressing a baby in her arms.

"Congratulations your Majesty, you got a healthy boy." an Imperial Doctor said, from beside him. 

"Bing are you alright?" the man said to the woman, with a gaze full of love.

Yu Bing smiled at the man and said, "Yes, I'm fine already, look at our baby, he's so cute".

Strange, why has our baby stopped crying? I'm sure newborn babies should cry for a long time, but by the time I entered this room he've already stopped crying. Well let's just move on.

The man smiled and grabbed the baby while saying, "Ohhh, look at those little eyes, it seems like a universe is inside, I'm sure my son will be a genius. Look at the way he's looking at me like he already developed intelligence!" 

Yu Bing laughs then proceeds to grab the baby from the man while arrogantly saying," Of course, it's our son after all. We are Heavenly Monarchs so our childs should all be geniuses. His name will now be Meng Jan."

The man responded with, "Oh, Meng Jan seems like a good name."

After 4 months

Yu Bing said to her husband "Meng Hao, why is our son not speaking? Since the day he was born up until now he hasn't made any noise. He just sleeps. I already tried using my divine sense on him, there is no problem with his Physique. What's wrong with him?"

Meng Hao sighed and said "I don't know, i already tried calling all of the divine doctors and divine alchemists. All of them said there is no problem with his body, so there only conclusion would be that the problem is with his soul. They said his state is like a vegetable, although he can still hear and listen to us. Because of this, even he cultivated, with that kind of soul, he most likely wouldn't even reach the Xiantian Realm". 

Yu Bing's eyes with a glazed over with dissapointed said "Will he like this for the rest of his life?"

Yu Bing said "We are Heavenly Monarchs, I didn't think our 2nd Son could become out like this"

Meng Hao said "I hope not. Let's wait till the he reaches 5 years old and awakens his spiritual roots". 

Yu Bing nodded.

4 Years had passed

It's time for the junior generation who've reached 5 years old to go to the immortal spiritual lake. The immortal spiritual lake is a mysterious lake, not only it can open the spiritual roots, it can also improve them by 2 realms.

So even if you awaken a mortal root it will be increased by two whole realms. Only the overlords of the universe can have this extravagant resource.

In this immortal spiritual lake there were 10,000 kids absorbing the Immortal Qi, one of them being Meng Jan.

Meng Jan, up until childhood, not only couldn't he talk, every night he suffered a soul rending pain that made him wish to die.

Whenever he suffered that soul rending pain, on his right arm, a tattoo of a ring will always form. Although it's hollow he can still remember the first time he experienced that pain, when he was born. Until now he has been suffering from it. You can say, at this point, his will to live has surpassed even his parents, who are two of the overlords of the universe.

And every time he suffers, the tattoo on his right arm becomes even more visible.

He estimates, when he reaches 10 years old it will already be finished forming. He always wanted to cut his arm off to end the suffering, but he learned to ignore it. Due to the armor his parents gave to him,  even Immortal realm masters couldn't destroy it, much less his mortal body.

Sighing, he looked at the Immortal spiritual lake and tried to circulate the Immortal QI to awaken his Spiritual roots.

Absorbing the Immortal Qi, he slowly started to notice something strange.  "Strange, why is my absorbing of Immortal Qi so slow, it've already two days, and I still haven't reached the Qi Condensation realm."

Suddenly, an Elder shouted at all of the kids in the lake, "Stop, go to the the spiritual testing rocks now in order to know your the rank of your spiritual roots".

All 10,000 kids of the kids there dashed to the spiritual rock test. Some had cultivation ranks of Qi condensation 5th realm, while the lowest of them had only Qi condensation 2nd realm.

Although Meng Jan seemed to be walking calmly towards the spiritual rock test, in his head he's panicking, he didn't even reach the Qi Condensation realm.  With such boundless Immortal Qi, not to mention the degree of the Qi in the Immortal Spiritual lake.

Even someone with the lowest spiritual earth roots with this environment will reach Qi Condensation 1st realm.

Doesn't this means his spiritual roots are mortal?

With the help of the immortal spiritual lake, his spiritual roots should have reached the Heaven Spiritual Roots, except if he had Mortal Roots.

But this kind of absorption clearly shows, that my Spiritual Roots are definitely Mortal.

When it's his turn for the test the elders and the other kids of the clan look surprisbgly to him, because he still haven't obtained Qi Condensation. All of their eyes stare at him with a strange glint.

When he put his hands on the spiritual rock, it didn't show any lights that it could have shown, which were Green, Red, Blue, Gold, Violet, black, white, 3 colored lights, 5 colored lights, or 9 colored lights.

The Only thing that could have meant isithat his spiritual roots are mortal. Even though you can still practice cultivation with mortal roots, he wouldn't reach past the Qi Condensation Realm, which means in this overlord colossal clan, he will become nothing but trash.

All of the other kids look at him with eyes full of pity, but no one dares to mock him as his parents are still the Heavenly Monarchs. Meng Jan's father and Yu Bing look at him with dissapointed gazes.
