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

Su Jie suppressed the urge to immediately try out his supernatural powers, crushed the teleportation jade talisman, and his figure disappeared from the edge of the blood pool.

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the Hall of Creation.

The white-haired old gatekeeper, who had been half-closing his eyes, suddenly focused his gaze on Su Jie, as if trying to see right through him.

After a few breaths, a rare look of amazement appeared on the old man's face, and he slowly uttered a few words:

"A god-level bloodline! ...This young man is truly formidable."

Su Jie bowed to him, said nothing, and turned to leave the main hall.

Outside the hall, Li Lu was leaning against the wall, holding his sword.

Seeing Su Jie come out, he glanced at him from head to toe and nodded: "Did it work?"

"It's done," Su Jie said with a smile, in a very good mood.

"A bloodline of god-level is extremely rare, even among the current generation of Heavenly Phenomenon Realm members of the Dao Clan's Zixiao Heaven."

Li Lu turned around. "Let's go. The Dao Clan will be here in ten days. You've just broken through and need time to consolidate your gains. Also..."

He paused, his tone a little strange: "While you were in the secret realm these past few days, things have been quite 'lively' outside. Your deeds have already reached the Dao Clan."

"Oh?" Su Jie raised an eyebrow and followed.

"The Tower of Eternity, bearing the mark of 'Chaos Supreme,' ranked first among celestial phenomena, and guided by a thousand human rulers..."

Li Lu counted on his fingers and teased, "These things, each and every one of them is quite impressive. There are quite a few rumors about you in Zixiao Heaven now, and it's said to have caused quite a stir."

He glanced at Su Jie: "Some say you have obtained the inheritance of some ancient supreme being, while others guess that you possess a heaven-defying treasure."

Of course, those proud and arrogant Daoist prodigies are very curious about you, this suddenly appearing and unparalleled 'human,' and also... quite resentful."

Li Lu smirked: "They're probably all wondering how much of your 'top spot' is genuine. Once you, the real deal, arrive in Zixiao Heaven, there will be plenty of people who want to personally 'verify' your credentials."

After listening, a glint flashed in Su Jie's eyes: "Inspect the goods? Great. I was afraid they'd just watch without doing anything, only daring to gossip behind my back."

Perfect timing! I also want to see just how strong I really am!

Li Lu looked at his "come and fight me" expression and remained silent for two seconds: "I hope you don't fall for the dirty tricks of those old schemers and little foxes from Zixiao Heaven over there."

"The deeper the water, the better for catching fish; the more cunning, the more interesting." Su Jie's smile remained unchanged, his tone full of confidence.

The two bickered as their figures gradually disappeared into the deep passage of the Divine Gate.

Su Jie returned to his quiet room and began a ten-day retreat to consolidate his strength.

He needs to fully master the new bloodline power within his body, while continuing to comprehend the "Body Book" and the "Soul Book" to solidify and stabilize his foundation.

On the day he emerged from seclusion, Su Jie's aura was harmonious and restrained, with only a fleeting glimpse of chaotic flames appearing between the opening and closing of his eyes.

He had completely mastered the power of the god-level bloodline, which was subtly merging with the power of the Battle Saint Body, the tenth-order Saint Soul, and the Primordial Chaos Dharma Image, forming an even more profound and domineering foundation.

Today, he will travel through the Star Gate to the Purple Heaven controlled by the Dao Clan.

Zixiao Heaven is one of the Thirty-Six Heavens. There are more advanced inheritances, more abundant resources, more complex vortexes, and more dangerous killing situations there.

Su Jie clenched his fist, feeling the powerful force within his body, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"Purple Heaven... the prodigies of all races and realms..."

"I, Su Jie, have arrived."

……

Fuxi Divine Pass, Star Gate Square.

This place is far more magnificent than the teleportation hall of the Xuan Tian Barrier.

The plaza is paved with a single piece of "Zhen Kong Xuan Steel," engraved with ancient divine patterns to reinforce the space.

In the center, a gigantic gate, hundreds of feet tall and seemingly formed from the convergence of billions of starlight, stood silently, emanating vast spatial fluctuations—this was the intercontinental star gate leading to the Purple Heaven.

Before the Star Gate, a thousand young men and women under the age of thirty stood solemnly.

Their auras were either sharp and imposing, calm and profound, or ethereal and agile; they were all outstanding individuals in the Celestial Realm, the true essence of this generation of humanity.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy; no one spoke, and their eyes occasionally glanced toward the entrance to the square.

"The top-ranked person hasn't arrived yet?" A young man in a purple robe with a cold expression frowned slightly and whispered to his companion beside him.

"I heard that my human race leader bestowed upon it the 'Ten Thousand Blood Tempering Ancestral Secret Realm,' which is only opened once every million years in our race."

"He's still in seclusion, what a grand gesture, making Lord Duan Yue wait with us." His companion's tone was calm, but the meaning behind his words was clear.

"Be careful what you say." Another gentle-looking young man in white, holding a jade flute, shook his head slightly.

"Senior Brother Su Jie has topped the Celestial Phenomenon Ranking, bringing fame to our human race. What harm is there in waiting a little longer? Besides, the Sovereign has not yet spoken."

The young man in the purple robe snorted and fell silent, but the hint of resentment in his eyes did not disappear.

Just then, a powerful pressure, as heavy as a mountain and as sharp as a broken blade, slowly spread across the square, making all the prodigies shudder and stand even straighter.

A tall, middle-aged man with a rugged, dark blue armor and a chiseled face appeared directly in front of the star gate.

Standing there, he resembled a giant blade capable of cleaving the heavens and earth; he was none other than the leader of this expedition—the Overlord of Broken Mountains.

The Lord of Duan Yue's gaze swept across the entire scene like lightning, lingering briefly on a few prodigies whose auras were fluctuating and who were slightly complaining. Those people immediately felt a slight pain on their skin, as if they had been grazed by sword energy, and immediately lowered their eyes and focused on their inner thoughts.

"Is everyone here?" Lord Duan Yue asked, his voice not loud, but carrying a metallic quality.

"Reporting to the Lord, Su Jie is still missing." A World Realm cultivator serving as the deputy leader immediately stepped forward to report.

The Lord of Broken Mountains remained expressionless, merely gazing towards the entrance of the plaza. Just then, Su Jie appeared.

As Su Jie stepped into the plaza, he immediately felt nearly a hundred focused gazes directed at him, as well as the tangible gaze of the Overlord of Duan Yue.

With a calm expression, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to the Lord of Duan Yue: "This junior is Su Jie. I was a little late due to my seclusion. I have troubled the Lord and my fellow comrades to wait for me."

The Lord of Duan Yue glanced at him, his gaze seemingly lingering on him for a moment, before nodding slightly. He didn't reprimand him, only saying, "Return to the team."

"Yes." Su Jie responded and quickly walked to the front of the human race's elite ranks.

He could feel the gazes behind him growing more intense, a mixture of curiosity, scrutiny, admiration, comparison, and resentment...

Without further delay, the Lord of Duan Yue turned to face the giant starlight gate, his voice resounding throughout the entire area: "My name is Duan Yue, and I am here by order of the Divine Gate to lead you to the Purple Heaven."

"There are three rules for this trip, and you must keep them in mind."

"First, Zixiao Heaven is one of the four heavens of the Daoist clan, with extremely strict rules. For this recruitment ceremony, you must follow the arrangements of the guide and me, and not act on your own initiative; those who disobey will be severely punished!"
