Su Jie raised his hand and grasped the token.

The moment his palm touched it, a warm energy surged into his body through the token, leaving a pale golden mark deep within his primordial spirit.

The mark is connected to his soul's origin, serving as both a symbol of identity and recognition from the Primordial Temple.

"Disciple thanks Palace Master." His voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

The Lord of the Primordial Era looked at him, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a hint of barely suppressed satisfaction.

He didn't say any pleasantries, but turned around and faced the audience.

"Su Jie is not only the Dao Child of my Primordial Temple." The voice of the Primordial Lord was a few degrees deeper than before, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

"He is also my personal disciple, and from this day forward, he is the future heir of the Primordial Temple."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire square fell into complete silence for three breaths.

Then, like sparks thrown into a pile of dry wood, it boiled and exploded.

"A personally taught disciple!!!"

"The personal disciple of the Primordial Lord! The future Lord of the Primordial Temple!"

"Among those nine holy temples, only the Lord of the Origin personally accepted disciples, right? The one in the Heavenly Maiden Temple is a registered disciple, and the one in the Myriad Laws Temple is also a registered disciple..."

"This means he's handing over the entire Primordial Temple to him!"

"A ninth-tier supreme being who is less than a thousand years old, and with seven azure-colored features, is indeed qualified to be the successor of the Primordial Temple. The heavens of the Primordial Continent are about to change."

Among the disciples, someone suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with shock.

On the elders' platform, several white-haired old men exchanged glances, their expressions varied.

In the viewing area, Elder Ni Chang of the Heavenly Maiden Temple frowned slightly, her gaze lingering on Su Jie for a few more moments.

Elder Xuanji of the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws remained expressionless, but his fingers curled slightly inside his sleeve.

On the dark golden lotus platform at the very top, the mist that had shrouded the inspector's face finally dissipated completely, revealing a face whose age was impossible to discern.

It was a plain face, almost unremarkable, but its eyes were as deep as two bottomless ancient wells.

There was a hint of something Su Jie couldn't see in his gaze.

The Primordial Lord ignored those reactions. He raised his hand and made a sweeping motion in the void, and a dark golden storage ring appeared out of thin air, slowly floating towards Su Jie.

The storage ring exuded a warm and profound aura, as if an entire universe had been compressed into that small ring.

"I have already prepared this gift. I will examine it carefully after your coronation ceremony."

Su Jie took the storage ring but did not examine it on the spot.

He tucked it into his sleeve, bowed again to the Lord of the Primordial Beginning, then turned around to face the audience, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable weight.

"Thank you, Palace Master. I, Su Jie, hereby swear that the Primordial Holy Temple has treated me with such kindness, and I will not betray the Primordial Holy Temple."

He paused.

"From this day forward, I am the Dao Child of the Primordial Temple."

The moment he finished speaking, the ancient sword sheath at his waist suddenly trembled slightly.

A wisp of chaotic sword light spilled out from the gap in the scabbard, like a sleeping dragon inadvertently opening one eye.

Although it was only a wisp, it caused the void surrounding the entire platform to slightly distort.

That aura was vast and ancient, as if it had traversed countless eras of time, carrying an ancient pressure that made one's soul tremble.

Although it was only for a moment, that wisp of energy withdrew on its own, as if nothing had happened.

But on the row of elders' seats below the platform, dozens of white-haired old men stood up at the same time.

As elders at the Eighth Eternal level, although they did not possess top-grade cosmic treasures, they had seen them at the Palace Master's place.

For both being eight-wheeled eternal beings, possessing a supreme cosmic treasure is a key factor in determining the outcome of their battle.

The terrifying aspect of a supreme cosmic treasure never lies in the additional power of billions of constant forces.

Because any top-grade cosmic treasure comes with at least one heaven-defying characteristic or explosive ability.

Some are fatal blows that burst forth instantly, several times the base bonus; some are soul impacts that ignore defense; and some are sure-hit techniques that lock onto cause and effect and cannot be dodged.

As for the sword before us, the aura revealed in that wisp of sword light suggests that it most likely possesses a true damage-type characteristic.

Most people at the peak of the Eight-Round Eternal Realm can reach hundreds of billions of Eternal Force, but that is under the condition of fully activating the Dao Fruit of Perfect Quality.

But who can withstand constantly unleashing the power of the Great Dao and its fruits to maintain a constant level of hundreds of billions of energy in battle?

Every breath that activates the perfect Dao Fruit consumes real, primal energy. It can be replenished either by slowly absorbing chaotic energy or by directly refining cosmic crystals for rapid recovery.

After a long battle, the cost of maintaining the full power of the Dao Fruit alone would be enough to make most Eight-Round Eternals bleed with heartache.

Therefore, most Eternals do not maintain full power in regular battles, but rather keep it at a low level of consumption, only unleashing their full power at crucial moments.

But the supreme cosmic treasure that Su Jie possesses, which has the property of true damage, is different.

Its unique characteristic is that it does not require the consumption of Dao Fruit energy or the burning of cosmic crystals; it is purely the treasure itself that is functioning.

The true damage from 30 billion, 50 billion, or even higher constant forces is a real tearing, ignoring defense and impossible to mitigate.

This means that the holder can continuously output destructive power far exceeding their own level in regular combat.

This is the truly terrifying aspect of supreme cosmic treasures.

In the viewing area, Elder Ni Chang's pupils contracted slightly as she stared intently at the sword.

She served as an elder in the Celestial Maiden Temple for thousands of epochs, never even dreaming that she could possess a supreme cosmic treasure.

As far as she knew, the entire Celestial Maiden Temple possessed only four supreme cosmic treasures, all of which were treasures passed down through generations of temple masters.

At this moment, a newly crowned ninth-tier supreme being, with a top-grade cosmic treasure-level sword hanging at his waist, appeared before everyone in a grand manner.

Her first reaction wasn't shock, but confusion.

A supreme being who flaunts a treasure that would make even the Eight Eternities tremble is either a fool or has enough confidence to not care about anyone coveting it.

Elder Ni Chang leaned towards the latter, because she saw Su Jie's eyes, which were calm to the point of being indifferent.

There was no ostentation in those eyes, only a sense of matter-of-fact indifference.

However, she must report this news truthfully to the Palace Master when she returns.

Elder Xuanji also had a solemn expression. His fingers clenched and unclenched in his sleeve as several thoughts raced through his mind.

Was this treasure bestowed by the Primordial Lord? If so, then the Primordial Lord's regard for this Dao Child far exceeded his expectations.

If not, then Su Jie's own background is even more worthy of in-depth exploration.
