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

Su Jie had no intention of waiting until he became the supreme ruler before making these prodigies from the Primordial Continent submit.

Instead, he believed that absolute authority should be established from the very beginning, so he spoke directly.

"The Palace Master just said that I am a prospective Dao Child."

He paused, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of every disciple present.

"What I want to say here is that there is no preparation. From now on, when you see me, you must respectfully address me as 'Your Majesty the Daoist.'"

Whether it's behind their backs or spoken to their face, this is the title they use. If I hear any other title, I'll show you what true power is.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deathly silence in the audience, and then, anger erupted like a volcano.

"Your Highness, Daozi? What makes him worthy of this title?!"

"The prospective Daoist hasn't even been officially crowned yet, and he's already putting on airs?"

"How dare he speak like that to the Lord of the Palace's face?"

"A country bumpkin from the primordial universe, who just happened to awaken the Primordial Bloodline by luck, actually thinks he's something?"

"So what if he's an eighth-tier mythical supreme being? We're also eighth-tier! He just broke through; do you think he can take on a hundred of us?"

The whispers turned into open discussions, and several hot-tempered holy sons even cursed out loud.

They should have restrained themselves in front of the Palace Master, but Su Jie's words were simply too infuriating.

Setting rules before even taking office, and demanding that they be addressed as "Your Majesty"?

What a smug and arrogant face!

The Lord of Tianyan Palace stood with his hands behind his back, not stopping the discussions, and even had a faint smile on his lips.

Good lad, you're really not afraid of trouble.

To expect all the holy children to call you "Your Majesty the Way Child" before you've even been formally crowned is to deliberately provoke their anger.

However, he liked this kind of fearless disciple the most.

I just don't know if they'll be this assertive when it comes to dealing with foreign countries.

Su Jie stood on the high platform, his face calm, ignoring the angry shouts.

But his patience was limited. His tenth-level primordial spirit silently spread out, like an invisible curtain, enveloping the entire training ground.

The next instant, an overwhelming pressure descended, an absolute suppression of rank that directly crushed the very essence of the soul.

The primordial spirits of all the disciples below the stage froze simultaneously, as if a giant hand reaching out from the void had grabbed their throats.

The cursing stopped abruptly, the angry expression froze on their faces, and was replaced by an uncontrollable fear welling up from the depths of their souls.

Of the thousands of disciples, not one could utter a sound, and not one could move an inch.

Some people turned pale, some were covered in cold sweat, and some had their legs go weak and collapsed to the ground.

The Holy Sons fared slightly better, but they could only stand with difficulty, their faces ashen and their eyes filled with disbelief.

Someone muttered through gritted teeth, "Could it be that his primordial spirit has already reached the ninth rank? And at the peak of the ninth rank? Otherwise, he couldn't possibly possess such power!"

Another person chimed in, "He must have used a secret soul technique, deliberately taking advantage of our unpreparedness. We were tricked by him; otherwise, how could he possibly suppress so many of us with just his primordial spirit's pressure?"

The Heavenly Evolution Palace Master's pupils suddenly contracted. As one of the five Palace Masters of the Primordial Holy Temple, he had naturally studied the Soul Book and was currently comprehending the seventh volume.

However, he knew very well that even if one had mastered the seventh volume, it would be impossible to unleash such terrifying primordial spirit pressure at the Supreme Realm.

As for the eighth volume, it is a supreme secret text that only the Lord of the Primordial Beginning is qualified to study.

The pressure released by Su Jie was definitely not within the scope of a ninth-order primordial spirit, or even the peak of the ninth order. It was a primordial spirit realm far beyond the ninth order, one that Su Jie had never seen before.

He subconsciously tried to probe Su Jie's soul origin, but as soon as his primordial spirit touched it, it was as if he had hit an invisible wall and was easily bounced away.

Even he couldn't see through the illusion of fate.

"Could it be that some kind of soul amplification technique was used?" The Heavenly Evolution Palace Master muttered to himself, his voice audible only to himself.

Su Jie ignored the Palace Master's shock and the terrified looks of the disciples below the stage.

He withdrew his divine pressure, stood with his hands behind his back, and spoke calmly as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Su Jie raised his hand and pointed to a dark building below the stands. The palace was dark purple, and seven ancient characters were engraved on the lintel: "Soul-stirring connection between mother and child".

This is a facility in the training ground specifically used for tempering the primordial spirit; the hall master had glanced at it more than once when he introduced it.

There is only one Mother Guide and a thousand Child Guides. Normally, the Eternal Realm Steward controls the Mother Guide and simultaneously guides the thousand Child Guides, using the method of soul resonance to temper the disciple's soul foundation.

Now, Su Jie is to take charge of the Mother Guiding Formation himself, with a thousand disciples holding the Child Guiding Formation, so that he can fight against the souls of a thousand people with his own strength.

"You each choose a thousand people, and I'll take your place. It'll be a thousand against one." He paused, his gaze sweeping across the audience. "Do you dare?"

Below the stage, the faces of the holy children changed from fear to a mixture of paleness and ashen color.

A thousand against one? A soul-stirring bond between mother and child? That's not just an ordinary sparring match, it's a direct collision of souls.

The one who wields the Mother Guide must use their own soul as the core, simultaneously guiding a thousand Child Guides. If they are not careful, they will be devoured by the soul power of a thousand people, falling into an illusion. At best, their primordial spirit will be severely damaged; at worst, their soul will be scattered.

He alone wants to take on a thousand of the most monstrous geniuses from the Primordial Temple? Who does he think he is?

One of the holy sons suddenly laughed, a laugh tinged with realization and ruthlessness:

"He probably doesn't know the rules of the Mother-Child Guiding Formation. When a thousand child guides are drawn into the formation, everyone's soul power will converge on the mother guide through the formation to fight against the one in charge."

"With the combined soul power of our thousand people, what if he's a peak ninth-tier Nascent Soul? More than half of our hundred Holy Sons are peak eighth-tier Nascent Souls; this time, we'll make sure his soul is annihilated!"

These words were like a shot of adrenaline, striking the hearts of all the disciples. Yes, this was not a one-on-one battle, but a combined effort of a thousand people.

No matter how strong he is, can he be stronger than the combined souls of a thousand people?

The initial fear on their faces gradually gave way to fighting spirit. The Holy Sons exchanged glances and took a step forward in unison.

Su Jie seemed not to hear their discussion. He directly took out a thousand high-grade universe crystals from the system space and casually tossed them aside.

A thousand crystal-clear droplets, like a shower of stars, fell from the high platform, landing with a tinkling sound in front of the disciples below.

The pale golden sunlight pierced through the crystal, refracting into a dazzling brilliance that illuminated the entire training ground in a magnificent display.

Thousands of top-grade cosmic crystals are a precious resource that would drive most eternities crazy.

A single high-grade cosmic crystal can allow an immortal to condense a second round of the acquired Eternal Wheel.

Even on the Primordial Continent, this was no ordinary item; it could be said that every single cosmic crystal was the fuse for an eternal war.
