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

The news that Su Jie was certified as an Earth-rank Soul Forger at the Refining Heaven Palace and forged the [Five Elements Revolving God-Slaying Array] set of Soul Weapons.

It swept through the entire Zixiao City in a very short time, and spread even faster to the entire Zixiao Daozhou and even the surrounding Daozhou.

"Have you heard? Su Xuan from Thousand Streams City, twenty years old, a Earth-rank Soul Forger! He can simultaneously control the Five Elements Laws!"

"More than that! It's a top-grade Earth-level Soul Weapon! The five elements are perfectly matched, its power is boundless! It's said that it made Senior Brother Li Yuan from headquarters cough up blood and faint on the spot with just one glare!"

"That's fake, right? I heard the Soul Forger Guild has already debunked the rumors and arrested quite a few people who spread them, saying this is an attempt to ruin a Soul Forger genius!"

"I wonder if it's true or not. If it is, then our Zixiao Daozhou's ranking will rise dramatically this time!"

"Whether it's true or not, I've already placed a bet of 10,000 high-grade Origin Realms on whether our Zixiao Daozhou can make it into the top 100. If I lose, I'll just consider it a way to recharge my passion!"

In Zixiao Daozhou, all the major forces and cultivators are now focused on the upcoming Three Thousand Daozhou Prodigies Battle. Now that "Su Xuan" has suddenly become a topic of conversation, all sorts of outrageous rumors have begun to circulate.

Deep within the Soul Forger's main hall, in an ancient and quiet room.

Vice Hall Master Ling, Elder Chen, Elder Wu, and two other elderly men with even more obscure and profound auras sat around.

These five individuals are now the true core of the decision-making body of the Soul Forger lineage in Zixiao Daozhou.

"The information has been blocked at the highest level. Currently, it is limited to rumors about the 'Five Elements Law' and the 'Earth-Rank Supreme Set'. The specific rank of the Saint Soul and the assessment of Su Xuan's true combat strength are classified as top secret."

An elderly man with a ruddy complexion, white hair, and a youthful face slowly spoke. He was another deputy hall master of the main hall, in charge of intelligence and secrecy, and was known as "Old Man Xuanji".

"Well done." Vice Hall Master Ling nodded. "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. The more amazing the talent Su Xuan displays, the more careful we must be of open and covert attacks from the outside world. With the battle of geniuses imminent, we cannot afford any mistakes."

Elder Chen added, "Three additional teams of 'Dark Soul Guards' at the peak of the Weaving Realm have been dispatched to secretly protect Su Xuan's residence, and all his food and supplies are handled by trusted individuals."

On the Martial Peak Hall side, Wu Potian also personally made arrangements. They also considered Su Xuan their biggest trump card in this martial arts competition, and their security would only be tighter.

"Regardless, Su Xuan is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for our Zixiao Daozhou," Vice Hall Master Ling said decisively. "We will nurture him with all our might and protect him with all our might. The Battle of the Prodigies will be his time to soar to the heavens!"

"Tomorrow, Wu Potian and I will go to Zixiao Divine Mountain to discuss matters. After I return, I will have another private talk with Su Jie."

Meanwhile, Su Jie was in "Tingxuexuan," an independent manor arranged by the main hall.

The courtyard was quiet and secluded, with a babbling brook. He sat cross-legged on a jade platform, with five [Five Elements Revolving God-Slaying Array] soul artifacts floating in front of him, slowly rotating, nurturing and resonating with his holy soul and the divine essence within his body at a deeper level.

"The Battle of the Prodigies in the Xuan Tian Great World is a great opportunity to make a name for oneself and acquire resources, but its scope is ultimately limited."

Su Jie thought to himself, "The real stage is the battlefield of the heavens, the 'Divine Treasure Realm - Who Can Compete?' competition, and the ancient starry road that one can tread after entering the Celestial Phenomenon Realm."

The Myriad Realms Auction House in the Battlefield of Heavens is making intensive preparations for the Who Can Compete Against All Competition, and the two-month period is not far away.

"My current trump cards are: a third-tier holy soul, fragments of the five elements law, and the identity of a top-grade earth-level soul forger."

The hidden trump cards: seven divine treasures, two super-divine divine treasures as foundations, the Battle Saint Body, a low-grade divine bloodline, the Time-Space Dao Eye, numerous system reward items, and practical combat experience and insights accumulated in the battlefields of the heavens.

Su Jie calmly analyzed, "It's more than enough to deal with the battle of geniuses in this realm."

The key lies in how to win "reasonably," both to intimidate all sides and to avoid prematurely revealing everything and attracting prying eyes beyond the capacity of this world to withstand.

He recalled the system notification that the Xuan Tian Great World ranked over five millionth among all the great worlds. Being too high-profile might not be a blessing.

Su Jie suddenly remembered that he had returned to the Xuan Tian Great World because he was unable to comprehend the supreme laws in the Battlefield of the Heavens.

"System," he called out in his mind, "get out and get to work."

[Ding! The Strongest Martial Arts System of All Realms is at your service. It has detected that the host has some cultivation-related questions. Would you like to consume Martial Arts Achievement Points to have this system answer your questions?]

Su Jie was too lazy to deal with that and got straight to the point: "Help me do some accounting."

[Settling accounts? Are you asking about 'how much service fee is owed to this system' or 'when the host's intelligence will allow them to comprehend the fragments of the supreme laws'?]

"Be serious." Su Jie rolled his eyes. "I need you to use all these data based on my current state—a third-tier Holy Soul, a 2000% comprehension bonus from the Red Martial Heart and Dao Heart Clarity, a 30% Time-Space Dao Eye, a 20% awakening of the Battle Holy Body, and the blessing of seven divine-level and two super-divine-level divine treasures—and calculate one thing for me."

He paused, then his tone became serious:

"First, if I were to focus all my efforts on comprehending and condensing fragments of the laws of 'time' or 'space,' how long would it take for each?"

"Secondly, what about the fragments of the laws of 'Judgment' and 'Destruction'?"

"Third, what about the fragments of the Laws of All Things?"

"Fourth..." Su Jie took a deep breath, "Those ten supreme laws, if I want to condense the corresponding law fragments, how long would it take for each one?"

"[Host, are you sure?]" The system's electronic voice carried a subtle tone. "[This system suggests you sit down first, take a deep breath, and calm your nerves.]"

"System, you're talking too much nonsense." Su Jie suppressed his anger.

The system remained silent for a few seconds.

[Retrieving all host data...]

[Simulating the Law Comprehension Model...]

[Calculating environmental bonus factors...]

[Calculation in progress...]

This time, the system took an exceptionally long time to calculate.

Su Jie waited patiently.

About an incense stick's time later, the system's voice sounded again, with an unusual seriousness:

[The calculation results are as follows. Note that the following times are the 'theoretical minimum times,' assuming the host works without sleep and no unexpected bottlenecks occur under ideal conditions.]

[1. Fragment of the Law of Time: Approximately 8 years]

[2. Fragments of Spatial Laws: Approximately 7 years]

[3. Fragments of the Laws of Judgment: Approximately 12 years]

[4. Fragment of the Law of Destruction: Approximately 15 years]

[5. Fragments of the Laws of All Things: Approximately 5 years]

Su Jie nodded. This period of time... though long, was still acceptable.

In particular, the Law of All Things only takes 5 years. If combined with the inventory in his system space, it might be compressed into a few months or even a few days.

[The following are the calculation results of the Supreme Law. Please note again that these are theoretical values ​​under perfect preconditions.]

[1. Fragment of the Laws of Chaos: Approximately 88800 years ago]

[2. Fragment of the Law of Fate: Approximately 4560 years ago]

[3. Fragment of the Void Law: Approximately 4560 years ago]

[4. Fragment of the Battle Laws: Approximately 2880 years ago]

5. Fragment of the Laws of Spacetime: Approximately 6510 years ago

[6. Fragment of the Ultimate Law: Approximately 6200 years ago]

7. Fragment of the Law of Reincarnation: Approximately 66000 years ago

[8. Fragment of the Law of Cause and Effect: Approximately 65000 years ago]

[9. Fragment of the Law of Origin: Approximately 65000 years ago]

[10. Fragment of the Laws of Creation: Approximately 65000 years ago]
