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

The nine female disciples looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally obediently knelt down, holding the top-grade cosmic crystal in their hands and examining it closely.

The dark golden light illuminated their faces, and the chaotic essence flowing within the crystals was dreamlike and ethereal.

They had never observed the finest crystal so closely before; its magnificent halo made them temporarily forget their fear and shame.

Su Jie stood behind them, his gaze sweeping over the row of slightly upturned lines, the curve of his lips deepening.

He reached out and gently patted the waist of the female disciple on the far left, his tone languid: "Waist, lower it a little. Yes, just like that. Hold it."

The female disciple stiffened slightly, bit her lip, and still did as she was told.

Su Jie walked to the next person behind him, patted them on the shoulder, and said the same thing: "Sink your waist down. Yes, just like that."

One after another, all nine female disciples accepted Su Jie's sincere help.

Bai Zhi stood aside, watching this scene, her cheeks flushed, but she didn't say anything.

She knew what Su Jie was going to do. These fellow disciples, who were all arrogant and haughty in the Heavenly Maiden Temple, were now kneeling before Su Jie like obedient puppets. The sight filled her with an indescribable sense of pleasure.

Su Jie walked back behind the first female disciple and looked down at her.

The female disciple held the top-grade crystal, her arms trembling slightly. She clearly sensed something amiss behind her, but she dared not turn around or move.

Su Jie placed his hand on her waist, his tone calm yet carrying an irresistible air of authority:

"Now, I'm going to tutor each of you individually. The one who performs well in their studies will have this top-grade cosmic crystal as theirs."

The female disciple trembled violently. She bit her lip and whispered, her voice barely audible, "I want to study hard. Please tutor me, young master."

Upon hearing this, Su Jie's lips curled up slightly, and he began his tutoring.

Su Jie fully demonstrated his meticulousness and attentiveness as their mentor.

Su Jie tutored each of the nine disciples of the Heavenly Maiden Temple one by one.

After a day of tutoring, Su Jie felt that they had learned enough, so he began to check their knowledge.

From the number of primordial patterns inside a cosmic crystal, to how a cosmic crystal is born, and to the different levels of cosmic crystals.

Bai Zhi stood to the side, responsible for maintaining order. Her cheeks were flushed, but her tone was calm:

"Cooperate well with the young master's spot check. Whoever performs well will receive this top-grade cosmic crystal; whoever performs poorly will continue to study and research."

Each of the nine female disciples held a top-grade cosmic crystal and studied various theoretical knowledge about cosmic crystals with utmost seriousness.

……

Nine days later, Su Jie finally finished checking all the knowledge his nine female disciples had acquired, and said with satisfaction, "Not bad, you've all passed. These nine top-grade cosmic crystals are yours."

Upon hearing this, the nine female disciples slumped onto their swords, panting heavily. The top-grade cosmic crystals in their hands gleamed with sweat.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with complex emotions; for the first time, they realized the importance of knowledge.

……

Time flies by.

Three years later, Su Jie's Great Luo Sword Embryo had nearly a hundred female disciples from the Nine Holy Temples.

They wore identical thin white dresses, with nothing underneath, and lined up neatly in several rows, heads bowed, as obedient as a group of domesticated white rabbits.

Bai Zhi sat at the front. As employee number 001, she was responsible for "new employee training" and "daily assessment".

Over the course of three years, Su Jie killed nearly 100,000 four-wheeled eternal beings, and his talent, which in turn boosted his basic combat power, finally broke through two million eternal forces.

The barrier between the ninth and tenth levels finally began to loosen three days ago.

Su Jie sat cross-legged on the Great Luo Sword Embryo, closed his eyes, and felt the primordial source surging violently deep within the embryonic form of the original universe.

"I'm about to break through," Su Jie said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, an unprecedentedly powerful aura surged from his body, sweeping across the entire void.

That was the aura of a tenth-tier supreme being, a realm never before seen in this chaotic sea.

Ninety-nine female disciples sat cross-legged behind Su Jie, feeling the immense aura surging from Su Jie's body due to his breakthrough, which made their souls tremble.

The aura was vast and profound, carrying a kind of oppressive power they had never felt before.

Bai Zhi placed her hands on her knees, feeling the aura, and was filled with shock.

She knew very well that Su Jie had just broken through to the ninth-tier Supreme not long ago, and since he did not have the aura of the Eternal Flame when he broke through now, it was clear that he was not advancing to the Eternal Flame.

That leaves only one possibility: the primordial spirit, from the eighth-order primordial spirit to the ninth-order primordial spirit.

But would a breakthrough to the eighth-order primordial spirit cause such a big commotion?

However, she had never witnessed an eighth-tier primordial spirit breaking through to the ninth tier; very few people in the entire Primordial Continent could reach that level. Perhaps... this is the commotion.

Su Jie opened his eyes, a fleeting, chaotic light flashing within them. He looked inward at the completely transformed origin deep within the nascent primordial universe, his lips almost stretched to his ears in a wide grin.

The 99 disciples of the Nine Great Temples stared wide-eyed at the sight, their pupils reflecting the wide grin that stretched almost to their ears from Su Jie's lips.

Who laughs like that? Is he going to eat someone? That's terrifying!

They had no idea that Su Jie had broken through to the tenth-order Supreme Realm, a realm that had never appeared before in this Chaos Sea.

Su Jie ignored their gazes and focused his mind on his body.

Deep within the primordial universe, the heart of the universe is slowly beating, each beat bringing ripples of law.

The basic combat power provided by the tenth-order primordial universe prototype increased dramatically from 1000 constant power at the ninth order to 10 constant power.

The improvement was a hundredfold, which was roughly what he expected.

But he soon realized something was wrong. The original 200 million constant combat power boost from his talent had turned into 100 million constant power.

Su Jie's brows furrowed sharply. He clearly remembered that before his breakthrough, the accumulated combat power boosted by Soul Devouring: Return of All Spirits had reached 200 million constant strength.

But now the system panel only shows 100 million, which is half of what it used to be.

He sensed carefully and realized that the 100 million constant forces that disappeared did not evaporate out of thin air, but were drawn away by some force and transformed into "nourishment" for the primordial universe to transform from the ninth to the tenth order.

Not only did his talent give him a boost, but even the Nine Star Chaos Origin Mark and the Primordial Chaos Body within his body disappeared.

Su Jie's face darkened.

The Nine Stars Chaos Origin Mark is a treasure that was integrated into the primordial universe when the Chaos Sea bestowed its blessing. It is the source of his normal attacks' additional 900 times damage.

The Primordial Chaos Body was the strongest combat physique in the Chaos Sea, a reward from the system, granting him a hundredfold boost to his base combat power. And now, those two things are gone?
