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

He took out a golden, shimmering phantom image of a pool from the system space and held it in his palm.

That was the Holy Light Creation Pool, a treasure lost by the Temple of Light for hundreds of epochs, but it was now useless to him.

With the Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Palace nearby, there's no need to worry about the Lord of the Morning Light Palace not sensing him while he's holding the Holy Light Creation Pool.

"This disciple is willing to offer this item to the Palace Master," Su Jie said sincerely.

"The Palace Master can use this item to exchange for benefits with the Palace Master of Dawnlight in the future. He lost this item and has been searching for it for countless epochs without success, so he will probably be willing to pay a considerable price."

The Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Palace reached out and took it. His pupils contracted slightly as he recognized it at a glance as the Holy Light Creation Pool.

One of the most treasured artifacts of the Temple of Light is a component of another treasure, which is said to have been lost two hundred epochs ago, and the Temple of Light has been searching for it in secret ever since.

Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of this kid. He stared at Su Jie for a few moments, a complex look flashing in his deep eyes.

"You're quite generous, kid. But you actually dared to ask!"

Su Jie smiled and said, "Isn't this a fair trade? This disciple can't just take advantage of the Palace Master. Besides, this is also to protect me, isn't it?"

The Lord of Tianyan Palace was silent for a moment, as if he had received some response, then nodded, "Alright. Sign."

Su Jie was overjoyed and immediately activated the "talisman," which was actually his talent, but he disguised it as a dark golden contract scroll.

The scroll unfurled between the two, countless intricate runes weaving a web of contracts.

With the contract concluded, Su Jie felt a vast power sealed within it, waiting for him to unleash it.

Although it was only one percent, it was still one percent of the power of one of the five great hall masters of the Primordial Temple, far more terrifying than his current full combat strength.

"Thank you, Lord Palace Master!" He clasped his hands in a solemn gesture, this time with genuine sincerity.

The Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Palace carefully put away the Holy Light Creation Pool, his deep eyes falling on Su Jie, and his tone suddenly became solemn.

"Su Jie, what are your plans for improving yourself next?"

Su Jie was taken aback, not expecting the Palace Master to ask this question suddenly.

Without waiting for his reply, the Lord of Tianyan Palace continued speaking to himself:

"I have reviewed your test results. You have comprehended one Great Dao, and six hundred Great Dao traces have been inscribed upon you. The two branches of the Eternal Great Dao are perfectly complete. As expected of someone with the Primordial Dao Bloodline, to achieve this at such a young age is truly heaven-defying."

He paused for a moment, then said, "However, your ancestor cultivated all nine hundred Great Daos to perfection when he was in the Supreme Realm."

Su Jie did not reply upon hearing this.

"The realm of seeing traces is ultimately just the most superficial realm." The Heavenly Evolution Palace Master's voice deepened.

"I don't know how you managed to cultivate to the seventh-tier Supreme level in just one hundred and eighty years."

But you should know that to advance from the seventh rank to the eighth rank, you need a massive amount of Supreme Origin Liquid.

The speed at which this Supreme Origin Liquid condenses depends on the depth of your Dao foundation.

"You currently only have six hundred traces of the Great Dao. At this rate, it will take at least a thousand epochs to accumulate enough Origin Liquid to advance to the eighth rank."

Over a thousand epochs later, Su Jie frowned slightly; he couldn't wait that long.

Moreover, the reason he was able to quickly advance to the seventh rank was entirely due to his other heaven-defying talent, [Soul Devouring - Return of All Spirits to Origin].

However, this method requires killing a large number of Eternal Realm cultivators, and the Dao Fruits of the Eternal Realm cultivators can be absorbed by oneself, so what one desires most is to continue killing.

However, since he had just arrived in the Origin Continent, he should keep a low profile, as there were too many Eternal Realm experts there.

Although he now possesses an eternal contract that allows him to imbue himself with 100 million units of eternal power within ten breaths, this is his trump card for survival and he certainly cannot use it lightly.

Therefore, Su Jie has already planned not to go out and roam around casually before becoming an eighth or ninth-order Supreme.

The Lord of the Heavenly Evolution Palace noticed the change in his expression and said, "My Primordial Holy Palace has an Enlightenment Tower, a sacred place specifically for comprehending the Great Dao. It takes a lot of merit points for a Holy Son to enter, but you can enter for free."

Su Jie's eyes lit up.

"Moreover, inside the Enlightenment Tower, if you can enter the state of oneness with heaven and man, you will have the opportunity to step into the hidden place within the tower. The speed of comprehending the Great Dao there is a hundred times or a thousand times faster than inside the tower."

The Lord of Tianyan Palace looked at him, his tone carrying a deeper meaning, "However, whether you can enter depends on your fate."

Su Jie nodded. With the bonus from the Enlightenment Tower, increasing his speed by a hundred or a thousand times, plus his Primordial Dao Body, would be enough for him to improve his understanding of the Great Dao in a short period of time.

The Heavenly Evolution Palace Master continued, "There is one more thing. Thirty years from now will be the once-in-ten-thousand-years Grand Competition of the Nine Great Holy Temples' Disciples. You can participate with the quota of a Holy Son."

"I don't require you to be number one, but you must at least be in the top 100. Because the top 100 disciples can enter a secret realm of the Origin Temple for exploration and trials."

The opportunities there far exceed your imagination. This is your first chance to appear before the Nine Great Temples, and it's also a shortcut to obtaining a higher level of fortune. Do you understand?

A glint of light flashed in Su Jie's eyes, and he nodded: "This disciple will certainly do his best."

The Heavenly Evolution Hall Master waved his hand, his tone returning to its usual calm: "Go to the Heavenly Merit Hall first and collect the extra reward for your disciple's evaluation."

As for the Enlightenment Tower, someone from the Heavenly Merit Hall will take you there. I'll be waiting to see your performance in the disciple competition thirty years from now.

Su Jie didn't ask any more questions. He cupped his hands in greeting to the Lord of Tianyan Palace, turned around, and walked towards the light gate at the edge of the hall, stepping inside.

The light engulfed his figure, and in the next instant, he appeared in a huge hall.

Countless light screens floated on the four walls of the hall, each screen displaying dense text scrolling across the pages. These texts contained the cultivation techniques, elixirs, treasures, and materials of the Primordial Temple.

The hall was bustling with people, with tens of thousands of disciples moving about. Some stopped in front of the light screen to inquire, some waited in long lines to exchange their items, and some chatted quietly in twos and threes.

This is the Heavenly Merit Hall, the core hub for excellent-level and above disciples of the Origin Holy Temple to exchange resources. Every day, a large number of disciples come and go, and it is never deserted.

Inside the hall, thousands of exchange windows were set up side by side, with a steward sitting behind each window. The stewards were of different ranks and were responsible for handling exchange matters of different levels.

On the high platform at the very center of the hall sat an elderly man with white hair, his aura deep and unfathomable, and the emblem embroidered on the hem of his robe indicated that he was an elder.

He is the elder in charge of the Heavenly Merit Hall. He does not usually handle specific affairs, but is only responsible for supervision and dealing with special situations.

The moment Su Jie stepped into the hall, the disciples closest to him merely glanced at him casually before looking away.

There are a lot of Supreme Realm disciples coming and going here every day, so it's not unusual.
