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

The other eight eternal wheels of the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws nodded in agreement.

Someone added, "You have an extraordinary demeanor," and others followed up with, "You have a broad mind."

In an instant, the atmosphere inside the hall was forcibly transformed into a harmonious and joyful scene.

As Su Jie listened to those words, the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

He knew perfectly well what these people were cursing in their hearts, but he didn't care. As long as they verbally obeyed and physically followed orders, that was enough.

Isn't this what they call "a great Confucian scholar will explain the classics for me"?

He waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, stop filming. You're so old, aren't you ashamed?"

I said, from now on we're all on the same side, so let's put the past behind us, but from now on you have to listen to me.

His last words weren't spoken with much emphasis, but the emotions of the eight eternal beings in the hall, which had just relaxed slightly, tensed up again.

Everyone responded in unison with a "Yes," their voices not exactly loud, but at least orderly.

Su Jie nodded in satisfaction, his gaze slowly sweeping over those faces as he began to plan his next move.

The nine temples need a unified occasion to confront each other.

It's much easier to gather the nine temple lords together and discuss everything at once than to visit them one by one.

But he also knew very well that not all temple lords would obediently sit down and listen to him.

Although the Celestial Maiden Temple and the Temple of Myriad Laws have been captured, the Primordial Temple is another matter, and the other six temples will probably have to be subdued through battle.

However, Su Jie was not worried about them disobeying. When the people of the six holy temples realized that the three top holy temples had sided with Su Jie, they had no choice but to obediently submit.

Timing is also very important. The disciple competition is less than a year away, and representatives and disciples from the nine holy temples will be present.

Perhaps we can take advantage of that occasion to unify the nine great temples.

Su Jie went through these thoughts in his mind, but didn't say them aloud, because there was no need for these people to know.

He still had many things to do before the disciples' competition.

It's important to know that the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws also has many death row inmates, and this resource cannot be wasted.

He planned to go to the place where the Ten Thousand Laws Holy Temple imprisoned death row inmates and devour all the source energy he could, hoping to increase his combat power as much as possible.

Although there are side effects to consuming death row inmates, he is no longer too worried about that issue.

He now carries with him eighteen "Detoxification Artifacts," each of which is an eight-cycle eternal level existence.

He can summon them from the nascent Hongmeng universe at any time, taking turns to fight, enough for him to digest any scale of backlash.

Moreover, by taking advantage of the opportunity to aid digestion, he could also help Jiang Yue'er and Xian Mengyao, the two Nine-Round Eternal beings, to accelerate the refinement of the Primordial Dao Fruit.

If he works hard this year, he might be able to help Jiang Yue'er become a Ten-Round Eternal before the disciple competition.

When a ten-wheeled eternal being stands beside him, who would dare utter a single word during the council of the nine holy temples?

Thinking of this, Su Jie's lips curved slightly.

Oh, and the Primordial Temple too.

He was able to sneak back silently in the form of a Voidwalker to take a look.

The talisman given to him by the Primordial Lord has already been used. As the engraver, the Primordial Lord was certainly able to sense the fluctuations in energy generated when the talisman was activated.

But his master still hasn't contacted him.

He didn't know what state the Primordial Lord was in now, whether he was in seclusion or observing, and he had to go back to confirm.

There were many things to do, but Su Jie believed that having more skills was never a bad thing. He actually hoped that trouble would come to him on its own, otherwise he really couldn't stay idle.

Putting aside his thoughts, Su Jie looked at Luo Wufa and said, "By the way, for the upcoming disciple competition, just have Xuan win the championship. Jiang Yue'er and I won't participate in such a childish event."

Luo Wufa's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this.

Who would have thought that you, a Daoist who has only been crowned for a few years, could become the Tenth Eternal within five years?

This kind of disciple competition is obviously child's play for you. But... why isn't Jiang Yue'er participating either?

That girl is a disciple of the Heavenly Maiden Temple, so this level of competition should be a great opportunity for her to make a name for herself.

He had barely finished thinking about it when Su Jie, as if reading his confusion, smiled slightly and said, "Guess?"

Luo was speechless at those two words. After a moment of silence, he could only manage a bitter smile.

This adult is ridiculously strong, but his mentality is still like a child's, always asking "guess what I mean."

However, he was too lazy to ask further. Anyway, it was pointless to ask Su Jie if he didn't want to talk about it.

Su Jie didn't waste any more time on this topic, and changed the subject: "This disciple competition is scheduled to be held at the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws, right?"

Luo Wu nodded: "According to the rotation order, it is indeed the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws that is in charge."

"That's perfect. You can invite the masters of the other six temples to come in person."

Take the Temple of Myriad Laws, the Temple of Heavenly Maidens, and the Temple of Origin as an example. They want to take advantage of this disciple competition to discuss future cooperation among the nine temples.

As for the Celestial Maiden Temple and the Primordial Temple, I have my own arrangements.

Luo responded with a simple "Yes," but inwardly he was overjoyed.

At the Heavenly Maiden Temple, that woman, Xian Mengyao, usually acts all high and mighty, with an air of superiority.

On the other side of the Primordial Temple, that old bastard Yuan Wudao is arrogant to the core, and for thousands of years he has always had the attitude of "you are not worthy to speak to me".

These two are both incredibly arrogant and difficult to deal with, always trying to outdo others wherever they go.

If they find themselves being outmaneuvered by a junior, they'll suffer more than I will.

As for Su Jie's respect for his teacher?

Luo Wufa sneered inwardly.

Does Su Jie preach respect for teachers and the Way?

His behavior doesn't seem like that of someone who would honestly "respect his teacher".

When Yuan Wudao discovers that his own disciple can easily defeat him, just thinking about that scene is exhilarating.

"What a pity," Luo sighed inwardly. "It's so frustrating not to see the whole show."

Su Jie looked at Luo Wufa's face, which was slightly distorted from suppressing laughter, and raised an eyebrow: "Is your face twitching?"

Luo could not immediately compose himself and said seriously, "This subordinate was just... thinking of some interesting things."

Su Jie didn't pursue the matter further; his gaze swept over the sixty-odd Eight-Round Eternals in the hall once more.

"Listen up, all of you. The disciple competition a year from now is not just a disciple competition. On that day, I will make all nine holy temples submit to me. So you must prepare well for this grand event."
