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

Just as Su Jie decided to head to the Ancient Starry Road, a thought suddenly struck him, reminding him of the two rewards he had not yet claimed after winning the Battle of Three Thousand Dao Province Prodigies.

"Right, system," he thought to himself, "I still have the qualifications to observe the 'Soul Forging Heavenly Stele of All Realms' and enter the 'Sea of ​​Myriad Laws' that I haven't used yet."

Before heading to the Ancient Starry Road, why not use these two rewards to strengthen your foundation before proceeding?

[Not recommended.] the system stated directly.

"Hmm? Why?" Su Jie was slightly surprised. "The Soul Forging Stele of All Realms can help me temper my Holy Soul, and the Sea of ​​Myriad Laws is a sacred place for comprehending the laws. It should be of great benefit to me."

The Heavenly Stele forging souls from all realms is useless to you now.

[Your Saint Soul is at the peak of the tenth rank, reaching the theoretical limit of your current realm. The main function of this stele is 'forging' and 'forging'. Your foundation is already solid, and further progress is unlikely.]

Su Jie nodded slightly, accepting this assessment. With the Saint Soul at its peak, the next step is a qualitative change rather than a quantitative one, so the limited effect of the Heavenly Stele is understandable.

"What about the Sea of ​​All Dharma Sources?" he pressed.

"I remember that after the Celestial Realm comes the Cave Heaven Realm. One must comprehend at least 10% of all the fragments of laws that one has condensed in order to weave the framework of Cave Heaven rules with laws as the warp and weft and open up the Cave Heaven within the body."

As a sacred land of laws, isn't the Sea of ​​Myriad Laws the perfect place to rapidly improve one's understanding of laws?

"The logic is correct, but the timing is wrong," the system explained.

You do indeed need to raise your comprehension of the Ten Supreme Laws to over 10% as a foundation for opening up your inner world. The Sea of ​​Myriad Laws is indeed one of the most efficient places to achieve this goal.

"Then why not go now?" Su Jie asked, puzzled.

Because you have better options to maximize your benefits.

The 'diluted Primordial Purple Qi' that has begun to integrate within you is a supreme treasure for enhancing comprehension and affinity with the laws. However, at this moment, its integration rate is only 5%, far from unleashing its true power.

Su Jie seemed to be deep in thought: "You mean...?"

[First, increase the fusion level of the Primordial Purple Qi. Once the fusion level significantly increases, your ability to comprehend the laws will surge accordingly.]

[At that time, we will enter the Sea of ​​All Laws again and use the 'Law Enlightenment Card' and 'Law Baptism Card' in conjunction...]

Su Jie fully understood the system's strategy.

It's not a question of whether to go or not, but rather when to go and in what state to go.

Going now is just regular cultivation, and he's not in a hurry to break through to the Weaving Law Realm, so there's no need to deliberately improve his understanding of the laws.

Waiting until the fusion degree of the Primordial Purple Qi is higher before going there is like having a "super cheat code" to cultivate.

If you add "Enlightenment Card" and "Baptism Card" on top of that... it's like adding "Double Experience" and "VIP Access" to a "Super Cheat".

Having thoroughly clarified his thoughts, Su Jie no longer hesitated.

With a flick of his wrist, the ancient "Star Path Guide" appeared in his palm. The token was neither gold nor wood, but warm to the touch, with fine, shimmering patterns on its surface that seemed to be composed of stars.

"The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls..." Su Jie murmured to himself.

According to the information he obtained from the Tower of Ten Thousand Souls, he could use this token to activate the Ancient Starry Sky Road and embark on his journey at any location on the ninth floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Souls.

Having thoroughly clarified his thoughts, Su Jie no longer hesitated.

With a flick of his wrist, he retrieved the dark red "Chaotic Frontier Trial Token".

"Let's go back to the Central Sacred Domain first." Su Jie activated the token directly.

The token flashed, enveloping him and instantly tearing apart the chaotic edge of space.

A familiar sense of time travel washed over him, and moments later, Su Jie found himself firmly on solid ground, the chaotic aura around him replaced by a rich and orderly spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He returned to the Central Sacred Domain. Without delay, Su Jie moved slightly, transforming into an inconspicuous stream of light, and sped directly towards the Soul Forging Master's Hall in the Central Sacred Domain.

The Tower of Ten Thousand Souls is controlled by the Soul Forger Guild throughout the Xuan Tian Great Thousand World.

A moment later, Su Jie was already standing in front of the magnificent gate of the Soul Forging Master's Hall.

When he directly revealed the purple-gold badge that represented the supreme honor of "Earth-Rank Ten-Star Soul Forger", the deacon guarding the hall gate instantly became extremely respectful, even showing a hint of excitement.

"Senior...Senior! What brings you here?" The steward's voice trembled slightly. A tenth-star Earth Rank cultivator was legendary even in the Central Sacred Domain, let alone someone as young as Su Jie.

Su Jie calmly said, "I have come here to the 'Ten Thousand Souls Tower' in the main hall. Please inform the elder in charge of the Ten Thousand Souls Tower."

The steward dared not delay and immediately sent a message.

Before long, an old man with white hair and beard, whose aura was as deep and profound as a bottomless abyss, strode out of the hall. He was none other than Mo Yan, the "Tower Guardian Elder" in charge of maintaining and managing the Myriad Soul Tower in the Soul Forging Master's Hall.

Elder Mo Yan's gaze swept over Su Jie with lightning speed, especially lingering on the purple-gold badge for a moment. The surprise in his eyes quickly turned into solemnity.

He had already heard about Su Jie's deeds from others, and smiled as he cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "This old man is Mo Yan, greetings to Master Su. Does Master wish to enter the Tower of Ten Thousand Souls here?"

"Indeed." Su Jie nodded, and without beating around the bush, directly took out the ancient "Star Path Guide" and displayed it before Elder Mo Yan. "Elder Mo, are you familiar with this item?"

When Elder Mo Yan saw the mysterious patterns on the "Star Path Guide" that seemed to be naturally drawn by the stars, his pupils suddenly contracted, and an undisguised look of shock appeared on his face.

"Star Path Guide! It's this!" He took a deep breath, his tone becoming extremely solemn. "Master Su has actually obtained the qualification to go to the 'Ancient Star Road'! I have been disrespectful."

He clearly understood the significance of the Star Path Guide, and his gaze towards Su Jie, in addition to the previous respect, now held a greater sense of admiration and expectation for the "future pillar of humanity."

"Master, please follow me." Elder Mo Yan asked no more questions and turned to lead the way. The fact that they had obtained the Star Path Guide already spoke volumes.

The two walked through the complex corridors inside the Soul Forger's Hall and arrived at a separate space protected by layers of restrictions.

In the center of the space stood a colossal black tower—this was the "Ten Thousand Souls Tower," a branch tower of the Central Holy Domain's Soul Forging Master Hall.

Elder Mo Yan, with a solemn expression, led Su Jie through layers of restrictions, finally arriving at the true top floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Souls—the ninth floor.

Su Jie took out the Star Path Guide and communicated with it through his mind.

Om-!

A silver light gate, just wide enough for one person to pass through, appeared silently.

Behind the door, a deep, swirling silver vortex emanated a vast and ancient spatial power, mixed with a chilling aura of desolation.

Su Jie took a step forward and stepped into the silver vortex without hesitation.

The light engulfed his form, and space shifted.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Jie opened his eyes and found himself standing in the center of a magnificent hall.

The sense of space in the hall is very peculiar—the visible boundary is only a hundred feet, but it seems to extend infinitely in perception.

The dome hangs high above, with a slowly rotating projection of a nebula, where countless points of light flicker and shine.

"Welcome to the first stop on the Ancient Star Road, the Beginning Land."

The sound came from ahead.
