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

The void travel lasted for an entire day.

When the spaceship tore through space once more and appeared in a vast and boundless space, everyone was stunned by the sight before them.

Ahead lay a magnificent sight that defied description.

It was a colossal abyss, seemingly capable of swallowing stars, with a diameter of countless miles and an unfathomable depth.

At the edge of the abyss, countless shimmering chains of laws stretched across the void, sealing off the entire abyss.

Above the abyss, countless floating islands, palaces, arenas, and flying boats and mounts shuttle back and forth.

This is the venue for the Battle of the Three Thousand Dao States' Prodigies—the Abyss of Ten Thousand Laws!

At this moment, the "Wanfa Square" on the outskirts of Tianyuan is bustling with people and dazzling with lights.

Young prodigies from the Three Thousand Continents gathered in the square, piloting various flying magical artifacts.

Looking around, all I could see were young faces under thirty, each one exuding an extraordinary aura and radiating vitality.

However, it is indeed something to be proud of that they can participate in the Gathering of Prodigies, which is held only once every hundred years in the three thousand Dao states, after all, they are the strongest among the countless young martial artists in each Dao state.

When the team from Zixiao Daozhou arrived aboard the Zixiao Divine Ship, they didn't attract much attention. After all, they only ranked 357th in the previous competition, which wasn't particularly outstanding among the three thousand Daozhou.

Dressed in green, Su Jie followed the purple-robed elder off the flying boat. His gaze casually swept across the plaza, taking in many interesting faces—a red-haired youth engulfed in flames, a cool woman walking on water, and a stern young man with a sword light floating behind him.

"See that red-haired guy?" Chu Feng whispered to Su Jie. "That's Yan Wuji, the Holy Son of Tianhuo Daozhou. He's twenty-nine years old, possesses six Heavenly-level Divine Treasures, has already condensed a Heavenly-level Dharma Aspect, and has also comprehended fragments of the Law of Fire. He's a favorite in this year's Martial Arts Competition."

"The woman in the light blue dress is Mu Qingqian, the Water Moon Saintess of Xuan Shui Dao Zhou. She is twenty-eight years old, possesses five Heavenly-level Divine Treasures, a Heavenly-level Dharma Aspect, and has comprehended fragments of the Law of Water."

After a martial artist breaks through from the Divine Treasury Realm to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, the divine treasury opened within their body will gather its origin and condense into a unique "Dharma Image".

法相不仅是力量核心，更能直观增幅基础战力。根据潜力与根基，法相分为凡级（增幅10源基础战力）、灵级（20源）、地级（50源）、天级（100源）、圣级（300源）……

The resources of the Three Thousand Provinces are limited. The younger generation under the age of thirty can only open up the six Heavenly-level Divine Treasures at most. Their basic Divine Treasure power is only about 60 Sources, and the strongest can only condense a Heavenly-level Dharma Image. Their basic combat power bonus is only about 100 Sources.

Only by condensing the Dharma form can the physical body and soul initially bear the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

Successfully comprehending and condensing a fragment of a basic law will grant you the support of heaven and earth, increasing your basic combat power by 100 units, and a law ring will also be generated around your Dharma form.

The Dharma Ring is not only a symbol of comprehending fragments of the Law, but it also stabilizes the Dharma Form, giving it the foundation for upward transformation.

Once you possess a first-order Dharma ring, your Dharma form can seek opportunities, absorb treasures of the same origin, or undergo baptism to upgrade from a first-order Dharma form to a second-order Dharma form, thereby providing a more robust boost to your basic combat power.

Each additional fragment of law that is condensed allows for the formation of another law ring around the Dharma Image, while also granting the Dharma Image the qualification and potential for further advancement.

Of course, the magic rings generated by basic law fragments, superior law fragments, and supreme law fragments have obvious differences in form:

From the basic single-color magic ring to the two-colored interwoven superior magic ring formed from fragments of higher laws, as for the supreme law fragments that exist only in legends, their magic rings are even more of a perfect blend of seven colors, as if containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and suppressing all laws.

Therefore, the number and color of the Dharma rings surrounding a Dharma image often directly represent the quantity and quality of the Law fragments comprehended by a Celestial Realm expert.

In the Xuan Tian Great World, among the three thousand Dao states, the holy sons and daughters who can condense a single fragment of law before the age of thirty are already exceptionally talented, and those who can successfully condense two are even rarer.

It is said that in every Heavenly Pride Battle, those who can condense two fragments of basic laws at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm are recognized as having the strength of a champion.

Su Jie sensed the aura of these Celestial Phenomenon Realm warriors... Hmm, their basic combat strength was probably around 200.

For example, Yan Wuji's Heavenly-level Dharma Aspect (100 Source) + Dharma Ring formed from the fragments of the Law of Fire (100 Source), plus other bonuses such as bloodline and physique, has a basic combat power of about 250 Source, which is already the peak level of the younger generation in the Three Thousand Dao States.

Yes, she's really strong; she's almost a fraction of his level.

"These are the top young talents from the three thousand provinces?" Su Jie muttered to himself, "I could defeat all the geniuses with just one finger..."

[Ding! The host has finally discovered the truth.] The system's electronic voice sounded at the opportune moment. [Ranked over five millionth in the Xuan Tian Great World, what kind of heaven-defying genius could it possibly produce? The host's current mindset is like a max-level character returning to the newbie village, seeing everyone else as weaklings.]

Su Jie's lips twitched slightly: "I'm just repaying a debt of gratitude. It's Vice President Ling's efforts that have allowed my growth rate to skyrocket!"

His gaze fell upon the nine high platforms in the center of the platform. There, nine figures sat upright, shrouded in a hazy radiance of laws, their faces obscured.

But its aura was like that of nine ancient, slumbering mountains; the mere unconscious pressure it emitted silenced the entire platform.

The world realm incarnations of the nine immortal forces!

"quiet."

A calm voice, yet seemingly resonating deep within everyone's soul, echoed. From the center of the nine high platforms, the figure clad in a star-patterned Daoist robe slowly spoke:

"This year's Three Thousand Provinces Prodigies Tournament will be hosted by the nine of us. The rules are the same as in previous years. The first three days will feature a secondary professional league – Soul Forging, Alchemy, Battle Formation, etc."

Then came a month-long martial arts tournament. The final total points would determine the century-long resource allocation for each prefecture.

"The Battle of Three Thousand Prodigies of Daozhou begins now. The first event is the various sub-professional leagues. Participants from each Daozhou, please proceed to your respective arenas as indicated."

The Soul Forger League's arena is a huge open-air plaza with tens of thousands of forging platforms neatly arranged.

Those who can enter here are the top Soul Forgers under the age of thirty from each province, and are at least at the seventh level of the Profound rank.

Three elderly men sat on the referee's platform, their auras profound; all were Heaven-Rank Soul Forgers, important figures from the Central Sacred Domain. The white-haired elder in the center spoke: "The Soul Forger League has simple rules: use the standard materials provided by the arena—"

With a wave of his hand, three items appeared on each refining platform: a fist-sized piece of "Hundred-Refined Soul Iron", a "Low-Grade Soul Stone", and a small bottle of "Basic Soul Fusion Liquid".

"—With these three most common materials, you have three days to forge the highest quality soul weapon you can create. The final ranking will be determined by a comprehensive score of grade, quality, and creativity."

Upon hearing this, many Soul Forgers frowned.

Hundred-Refined Soul Iron, Low-Grade Soul Stones, and Basic Soul Fusion Liquid—these three are the most basic soul forging materials. For the most outstanding soul forgers in the Xuan Tian Great World, they can usually only forge low-grade spirit-level soul weapons, at most reaching mid-grade spirit-level. Trying to differentiate between them using these materials is far too difficult!
