High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

The Palace Master of Tianyan glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he had expected him to ask this question.

"So what if he knows? So what if he doesn't know?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, his tone indifferent.

"You are a prospective Dao Child of my Primordial Holy Temple, a personal disciple personally designated by the Temple Master. Even if that old bastard Chen Guang knew you were in the Primordial Holy Temple, would he dare to come and demand you? The Primordial Holy Temple is not a place where a mere Temple Master can run wild."

He paused, a cold glint in his eyes: "Moreover, he was in the wrong in the first place. He deduced a junior across the Chaos Sea, and the backlash that resulted in the loss of his lifespan was his own fault. If he dares to cause you trouble because of this, the Primordial Temple wouldn't mind making him lose another ten thousand epochs of lifespan."

Upon hearing this, Su Jie's last trace of concern vanished.

He originally thought that there were two other transcendent forces like the Temple of Origin, and that the nine temples under the Temple of Origin should be united and work together against external forces.

It now appears that there are many conflicts among the nine temples, or rather, the competition is far greater than imagined.

In particular, the three great temples of Origin, Celestial Maiden, and Myriad Laws, which possess three eternal nine-wheeled structures, look down on the other six great temples.

Resources, status, and the right to speak—they have to fight for everything.

Although the Lord of the Morning Light Palace is a Palace Master of one of the Palaces of Light, the Palace of Light is not among the three strongest. The Palace of Origin is eager to take this opportunity to teach him a lesson and, incidentally, to deter the two Palaces that covet the position of the head of the nine Palaces.

Just as he was about to speak again, the Heavenly Evolution Palace Master suddenly frowned, as if he had received some kind of telepathic message.

He raised his hand and reached into the air, and a dark blue pendant appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The pendant was only the size of a thumb, its surface as smooth and warm as jade. There were no patterns on the surface, but countless fine runes, as thin as hair, were slowly flowing inside, emitting an aura that made Su Jie's primordial spirit tremble slightly.

"Su Jie." The Lord of Tianyan Palace handed over the pendant, his tone becoming more solemn. "The Lord of the Origin just transmitted his voice, instructing me to pass this item on to you."

Su Jie took the pendant. It felt slightly heavy in his hand, and a warm energy surged from it, spreading from his palm to his entire body.

The energy was gentle yet profound. Wherever it passed, he felt his already impenetrable aura was enveloped by an invisible membrane, making it even more impenetrable.

The Lord of Tianyan Palace looked at him and explained, "This item is called 'Heaven-Covering Fall,' an extremely precious eternal relic, the remains of a Nine-Round Eternal being after his death."

Its sole function is to conceal the wearer's entire aura. From now on, any spirits below the ninth chakra that wish to investigate your origins or deduce your destiny will be blocked by this pendant.

He paused, his tone lowering slightly: "Currently, within the Primordial Temple, only I and the Lord of the Primordial Era know that you possess the Void Body of Destiny. We will not reveal this secret."

Others will only know your disciple's assessment results. Is it alright if outsiders find out about those results?

Holding the pendant, Su Jie was filled with emotion.

As expected, my future master is the best. As soon as I expressed my concerns, this Lord of the Primordial Beginning, whom I have not yet met, immediately sent me such a precious treasure.

In contrast, the current palace master only granted some authority with words, without actually demonstrating any real power. Fortunately, the future master was generous and gave him reassurance right from the start.

The value of this Sky-Covering Fall is probably no less than that of a top-grade cosmic treasure to him, and it is specifically designed to target his greatest weakness: the automatic self-inflicted damage of the Void Body of Fate is too easily exposed.

Unlike his Primordial Dao Body, Su Jie was certain that even the Lord of the Origin could not detect him. He just didn't know if those three transcendent beings could see through his secrets.

He suppressed his inner resentment towards the Palace Master and solemnly said, "Palace Master, rest assured, the test results are fine. This disciple is already a master of the Seven Glazed Colors, so it doesn't matter if they know that our Primordial Holy Palace has a supreme genius."

He glanced down at the dark blue halo in his palm, then hung the pendant around his neck. The dark blue light flashed and disappeared, and his aura vanished completely.

Su Jie bowed to the void, "This disciple thanks the Lord of the Holy Temple for his generous gift."

The Lord of Tianyan Palace watched his actions, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. After Su Jie straightened up, he suddenly spoke, his tone casual as if he were chatting about everyday matters:

"By the way, your Primordial Bloodline...was it awakened naturally in your body, or did you inherit it from somewhere?"

Su Jie's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes, this is an unintentional test.

His expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "Reporting to the Palace Master, this disciple is also unsure. Back in the Tianyuan Universe, my bloodline suddenly awakened during a life-or-death battle, and I later learned it was the Primordial Dao Blood. As for the inheritance—"

He paused, then shook his head. "This disciple has never seen any of my clansmen, nor can I find out anything about them."

The Heavenly Evolution Palace Master stared at him for a few moments, a thoughtful glint flashing in his deep, star-like eyes.

"Very well. The Chaos Sea is vast, and while it is rare for people to awaken across generations or for their bloodlines to revert to their ancestral form, it is not unheard of. Your awakening of the Primordial Dao Blood is your good fortune, and it is also the good fortune of my Primordial Holy Temple."

Just then, Su Jie remembered a talent he had long forgotten: [Soul Devouring - Eternal Contract].

You can sign a contract with any being of the Eternal Realm, sealing one percent of their combat power within the contract.

You can empower yourself with the power of the contract at any time for ten breaths. After each use, the power of the contract returns and you need to sign it again.

He had never used this talent since he acquired it, because he had never encountered a suitable Eternity before.

However, the Heavenly Evolution Palace Master in front of us is in seclusion in the Eternal Tower for many years because he has to guard the Primordial Holy Temple. He does not need to go out to fight, so losing one percent of his combat power should not have much impact on him.

Moreover, he is one of the five hall masters of the Primordial Temple, and his combat power is unfathomable. Even one percent of his combat power far surpasses that of the vast majority of Eternals on the Primordial Continent.

Most importantly, the Lord of the Origin has already declared that he will take him as his personal disciple. The Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Palace should not refuse the request of this "future Dao Child", right?

Su Jie turned around, a sincere smile on his face: "Palace Master, this disciple suddenly remembered something."

The Heavenly Evolution Palace Master raised an eyebrow slightly: "Speak."

Su Jie continued, "I once obtained a one-time use talisman by chance, called the 'Eternal Contract,' which can temporarily seal one percent of the combat power of an Eternal Realm being."

Disciples can draw upon this portion of their combat power during battle to enhance themselves, lasting for ten breaths. Upon use, this power will return to its original state.

He paused, then continued, "Lord, you reside in the Eternal Tower year-round and do not venture out to war. Losing one percent of your fighting force should be of little consequence. I dare to request that you enter into this contract with me. In return..."
