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

"Absolute defense once a day? And it even has a counterattack and a special soul shock?" Su Jie's eyes lit up again.

What day is it today? Double happiness! No, quadruple happiness!

First, he opened up the Primordial Chaos Cave Heaven, and his strength increased dramatically;

Then the Wheel of Fate drew the "Supreme Slave Talisman," a trump card that defied the heavens;

He also inherited the second volume of the physical script;

Now there's another one called "Reverse Scale," which provides powerful instant survival capabilities!

Although the "Supreme Enslavement Talisman" cannot be used now, this "Reverse Scale" is a real trump card that can take effect immediately!

He can perfectly defend against any attack below the Supreme level, which means that if the Supreme level doesn't appear, it's practically like he has an extra life!

Not to mention the accompanying rebound effect, which might be able to catch the enemy off guard at a crucial moment.

"System, what kind of creature was the original owner of this 'Reverse Scale'? Even you can't identify it?" Su Jie asked curiously.

The system's identification capabilities have always been very strong, but this "problem area" is full of question marks.

[Information missing.] The system answered crisply, [The host only needs to know its effects.]

"Alright." Su Jie didn't dwell on it. With a thought, the seemingly simple, yet subtly radiating a sense of defiance and anger, gray-black scale phantom...

It fell into his palm, then disappeared beneath his skin, establishing a mysterious connection with his blood and soul.

He felt that with just a thought, he could activate that "defying fate protection" at any time.

At this point, all three rewards have been claimed.

Su Jie took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. No matter how many trump cards he had, they were ultimately external things; his own cultivation level was the fundamental factor.

He looked inward and felt the ten increasingly clear and solid pillars of law within the Hongmeng Cave Heaven.

Thanks to the nurturing of the Primordial Chaos Cave Heaven, his comprehension of the Ten Supreme Laws has all surpassed the 10% threshold!

"10%... This means I can begin the formal weaving of the first 'Heavenly Dao Framework'!" Su Jie's heart burned with excitement.

Once a supreme law is successfully woven into the framework of a grotto-heaven, the stability of the grotto-heaven, the power of the law's manifestation, and its feedback to itself will all experience a qualitative leap.

"However..." He frowned slightly, "Weaving requires a massive amount of high-quality energy. The mid-grade Chaos Crystals that the human race had prepared for me were already used up when I opened the cave."

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. Without Chaos Crystals, weaving the framework of the Heavenly Dao is just empty talk.

"It seems I need to find a way to acquire resources as soon as possible," Su Jie secretly resolved.

Just then, he suddenly remembered something else.

"System," he called out in his mind, "you said before that once my comprehension of the 'Law of Reincarnation' reached 10%, I would be able to know the initial effects of that 'broken Reincarnation Mark' that has been gathering dust in the system space. Is that possible now?"

[Ding! It has been detected that the host's comprehension of the 'Law of Reincarnation' has reached 10%, meeting the initial activation conditions for the 'Fragmented Mark of Reincarnation'.] The system's voice sounded promptly.

[Analysis in progress...]

……

Beyond the myriad phenomena of the heavens, more than a dozen terrifying figures have gathered.

The leaders of the nine great holy sects, including the Supreme Dao Palace, the Jade Void Palace, and the Tongtian Sword Sect, all requested to enter the Myriad Forms Heaven for a discussion, citing "sensing abnormal energy fluctuations as their reason for inquiring."

"Sect Master Xingchen, the Daoist aura fluctuations that surpassed 'Supreme' just now clearly originated from your Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Sect. Could it be that your sect has forged some kind of Supreme Artifact?" The purple-robed elder from the Supreme Dao Palace asked in a deep voice.

"If a supreme treasure is born, according to the Covenant of the Heavens, its ownership should be decided by the Nine Sects," the radiant woman from Jade Void Palace said calmly.

Although the cold-faced middle-aged man from the Tongtian Sword Sect did not speak, his body was filled with sword energy, and his meaning was very clear.

The Stardust Sect Master smiled gently, but did not yield an inch: "You all worry too much. It's just that Junior Brother Li Chen is trying to deduce a forbidden divine ability, which has caused quite a stir. It's not the appearance of a supreme treasure. It's an internal matter of our sect, and it's inconvenient for you all to enter and investigate."

"Deductive abilities?" The purple-robed elder sneered. "Sect Master Stardust, do you think we can't sense that wisp of 'Primordial Chaos' true meaning? Do you think your Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Sect intends to monopolize such an opportunity?"

Just as the Stardust Sect Master was pondering how to refuse...

"boom!"

A terrifying sword intent, seemingly capable of severing cause and effect and destroying reincarnation, surged into the sky from the Myriad Forms Heaven, instantly forcing back and severing the connection of all divine thoughts that attempted to probe!

"Hmm!" "Humph!"

Several muffled groans and low shouts came from outside the formation, and the illusory figures of divine senses swayed, clearly having suffered a slight loss when retreating.

A figure in black with silver trim, like a pillar of strength, stepped out from the Myriad Forms Heaven and stood beside the Star Dust Sect Master, facing the heroes outside the formation.

It is none other than the Venerable Lichen!

His expression was stern, his gaze sweeping over the illusory figures outside the formation, and he said in a deep voice:

"How much noise have I, Li Chen, made in my own home? When have I needed to report to you, obtain your approval, or even 'see it with my own eyes' to 'convince' you?"

His tone was undisguised in its sarcasm and anger.

"Lord Lichen!" The purple-robed elder's face darkened. "Stop your nonsense! This strange phenomenon is related to..."

"What does it matter?" Daoist Li Chen interrupted him directly, took a step forward, and endured the invisible pressure of several beings of the same level on his own. The sword intent around him became more and more solid and sharp, and the space around him was slightly distorted.

"Is it about your curiosity? Or your petty scheming to see others succeed? The fact that my Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Sect's protective formation is still standing here shows that outsiders are not welcome to spy on this place! That's the bottom line!"

His gaze was like a sword, staring directly at the purple-robed elder: "What, does the Supreme Dao Palace think my Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Sect's formation isn't sturdy enough, or that my Li Chen sword isn't sharp enough to protect its own gate?"

These words instantly ignited a tense atmosphere! Li Chen had directly elevated the "refusal to investigate" to the level of "sect dignity and military confrontation"!

The illusory figure of the Tongtian Sword Sect Master finally spoke, his voice like the friction of a sword blade: "Li Chen, your reaction makes you even more suspicious."

Could it be that beneath that strange phenomenon lies some unspeakable secret, or even... a violation of the ironclad laws of the Dao Clan?

"Suspicious? Ironclad rule?" Daoist Lichen scoffed, a hazy, gray sword aura containing the meaning of annihilation and reincarnation already flowing at his fingertips.

"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext! I live a life detached from worldly affairs; why should I explain myself to you? Today I'll put my words here:"

Anyone whose divine sense dares to cross this line again, attempting to force their way into my Myriad Manifestations Heaven Forbidden Land, will be deemed to have declared war on my Myriad Manifestations Heaven Sect! The sword in my hand hasn't drunk the blood of a Sovereign for quite some time!

As soon as he finished speaking, sword energy flickered at his fingertips, locking onto the few divine thoughts that had been probing most actively just now, his killing intent palpable!

The Stardust Sect Master was inwardly groaning, knowing that his junior brother was truly daring and capable of severely injuring one or two people in an instant. However, once this situation escalated into war, the consequences would be unimaginable!

He quickly sent a telepathic message to prepare to activate the sect's final defense mechanism, while also preparing for the worst.
