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

Upon hearing this, Su Jie's eyes lit up.

He chose the 10-star difficulty level, which would grant him 2560 top-grade cosmic crystals upon completion – a truly substantial sum!

Although he had previously obtained 6666 top-grade cosmic crystals by cheating through the system, this time he was fully confident that he could obtain them through his own strength.

In addition, there's a 6% bonus per star, so ten stars would mean an extra 60% acquisition rate.

This means that from now on, whether he kills opponents, loots mines, explores secret realms, or signs in daily, all his income will be multiplied by 1.6.

Moreover, he has already perfected all three thousand Great Daos, and not choosing the highest difficulty would be an insult to his own strength.

"I choose the ten-star difficulty." Su Jie said calmly, as if he were talking about something trivial.

The cold, mechanical voice fell silent for a moment, as if even it was surprised by the choice.

Three breaths later, the voice sounded again, carrying a rare solemnity: "Ten-star difficulty confirmed. The Great Dao Comprehension Test begins now. Good luck."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of white light appeared.

Before Su Jie floated a thousand fist-sized crystals, each one crystal clear and emitting a faint light.

The cold, mechanical voice sounded again: "The rules for the Ten-Star Dao Comprehending Trial are as follows:"

First, you have a thousand blank "Daoist Crystals" in front of you. You need to infuse each crystal with the "perfect charm" of a complete Dao.

Second, these thousand paths must not be repeated and must encompass the three levels of acquired, innate, and eternal.

Third, each time a crystal is successfully injected, the crystal will light up; if it fails or the timeout is exceeded, the crystal will shatter and the test will end.

Fourth, completing all one thousand coins within one day constitutes passing the level.

Upon hearing this, Su Jie's lips curled up slightly. These rules were practically giving him cosmic crystals.

There are a thousand Great Paths, none of which can be repeated. They encompass the acquired, the innate, and the eternal. He has perfected all three thousand Great Paths. He could produce not just a thousand, but all three thousand.

"Start the timer," the mechanical voice announced.

Su Jie sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to look inward.

Deep within the primordial universe, three thousand perfect Dao imprints flowed slowly like a dazzling galaxy.

He selected a thousand of them, matching them in proportions of acquired, innate, and eternal essences. Then he opened his eyes and placed his hand on the first crystal.

With a thought, the perfect essence of the acquired path peeled away from the mark and flowed into the crystal through his palm.

The crystal glowed slightly, changing from transparent to pale gold, and floated in mid-air, radiating a gentle Daoist aura.

One.

Without pausing, Su Jie placed his left hand on the second coin and his right hand on the third coin at the same time.

The tenth-level primordial spirit unleashed its full power, multitasking and simultaneously infusing multiple crystals with Daoist essence.

His speed increased, from one at a time at the beginning to ten, twenty, and fifty at a time later.

In the silver space, crystals lit up one after another, their pale golden light merging together to illuminate the entire space as if it were daytime.

In less than an hour, all one thousand crystals lit up.

Su Jie withdrew his hand, stood up, and patted off non-existent dust from his robes.

"It's done." He said casually, as if he were just saying that the weather was nice today.

A mechanical voice announced: "In testing, all one thousand Daoist Crystals have passed inspection. They cover 977 Acquired Daos, 30 Innate Daos, and 3 Eternal Daos. Completeness is perfect. Time taken: one hour."

It paused again: "Trial participant, your foundation in the Great Dao has exceeded the assessment limit of this secret realm."

Su Jie smiled but didn't reply.

"Ten-Star Dao Comprehension Test passed. Basic reward: 2560 Top-Grade Cosmic Crystals."

Special reward is now in effect: From this day forward, the amount of Cosmic Crystals you acquire through any means during this Primordial Grand Ceremony will increase by an additional 60%.

This bonus can be stacked with any other bonuses you already have.

A golden firework exploded on the light screen, and 2560 top-grade cosmic crystals fell into Su Jie's account.

Adding to his previous 6800, he now has a total of 9360.

There are still 640 coins needed to reach the 10,000-coin threshold for permanent membership.

No problem, he currently has a 60% bonus to acquiring extra Cosmic Crystals, and he'll reach that goal soon.

Keep in mind that he still has five exclusive secret realms—Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Purple Gold—that he hasn't entered yet.

Although these secret realms are lower in level than the Supreme Realm, every little bit helps, especially since each secret realm comes with an extra bonus to the acquisition of Cosmic Crystals.

He decided to go in first and see how much he could take.

One day later.

Su Jie stepped out of the Purple Gold Exclusive Secret Realm for the third time, his expression somewhat strange.

He originally thought that the secret realms below the Supreme level should be much simpler, after all, the level difference was there.

But the truth is quite the opposite. The random generation mode of that exclusive secret realm is not just a weird thing; it always manages to cause him trouble.

In the end, he used up all three challenge opportunities for his exclusive secret realms. Except for the Purple Gold Secret Realm, which he barely passed at the ten-star difficulty, he only passed the other four secret realms at the nine-star difficulty.

As a result, his bonus to extra Cosmic Crystals did not reach the desired 210%.

Instead, it's 60% from the Supreme Secret Realm plus 50% from the Purple Gold Secret Realm, plus 36%, 27%, 18%, and 9% from the other four Secret Realms, totaling a 200% bonus to the acquisition of extra Cosmic Crystals.

In other words, for every top-grade cosmic crystal he acquires in the future, he will actually receive three top-grade cosmic crystals.

His number of top-grade cosmic crystals also increased from 9360 to 9630. Although it was not yet 10,000, it was very close.

Su Jie stretched and casually clicked on the daily check-in.

A message popped up on the screen: "VIP Member Sign-in Reward: 3 Top-Grade Cosmic Crystals (with a 200% bonus)"

His lips twitched. He only received one top-grade cosmic crystal from today's sign-in, but thankfully there was an extra 2x bonus.

However, compared to the threshold of 10,000, 3 is indeed just a drop in the ocean.

However, even a mosquito's leg is meat, so he accepted the three coins, bringing his balance to 9633 coins.

"It's time to go out for a thorough cleaning," Su Jie muttered to himself, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Or first scan your primordial spirit to see if there are any evil beings doing evil deeds forever."

As the Dao Child of the Primordial Temple and the embodiment of justice, how could I, Su Jie, sit idly by?

"By the way, while acting on behalf of Heaven, it's not too much to 'keep' their cosmic crystals as well, is it?"

His tenth-tier primordial spirit spread out at full power, and within three million light-years, countless energy fluctuations surged into his perception like dense stars.

Mineral veins, relics, chaotic beasts, and tens of thousands of contestants.

He carefully sifted through the nearby targets and quickly identified several interesting "scenery"...

"Huh? There's a four-wheeled eternal being bullying a chaotic beast more than a hundred light-years away? That beast's aura is already very weak, and it's about to be killed."
