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

Su Jie paused, as if giving these people time to process this: "Make the necessary arrangements and notify those who need to be notified. I don't want anyone to be confused on that day."

The hall was quiet for a moment, then the eight eternal beings responded in unison, "Yes!" Their voices were much more uniform than before, clearly indicating that they had gradually adapted to their new identity of "obedience".

Su Jie nodded in satisfaction and looked at Luo Wufa: "Alright, we've finished discussing the important matters. Now take me to the place where your temple holds death row inmates. I'm going to increase my own merit."

Luo Wufa's lips twitched slightly. Merit? The way you put that word just sounds awkward.

He nodded: "Deep beneath the Myriad Laws Sky Dome, there are quite a few death row inmates imprisoned. I wonder how many you require, sir."

Su Jie waved his hand: "It's alright. I still have plenty of time. I'm just waiting for the disciple competition to arrive. Besides, the more death row inmates I deal with, the better. I'll kill as many as I can."

……

Six months later.

Deep beneath the myriad laws of the heavens, on the final level of the abyss prison, Su Jie withdrew his hand from the grayish-white light and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

He has barely left this underground prison in the past six months.

The number of death row inmates in the Temple of Ten Thousand Laws was more than he had expected. He was indiscriminate in his killings, devouring those in the fourth, fifth, and even the sixth, seventh, and eighth rounds without exception.

I devoured them one by one in order, filling every single day of the past six months to the brim.

At this moment, Su Jie helped up Jiang Yue'er and Xian Mengyao, who were slumped to the side, and closed his eyes to look at the numbers on the system panel.

His basic combat strength has exceeded 1.2 trillion constant power, which is more than 400 billion more than when he first joined six months ago.

Although he is still far from reaching the threshold of ten trillion constant power at the fourteenth level, at least he is moving forward step by step without stopping.

The biggest gain was for Jiang Yue'er. The heat he had accumulated from each killing over the past six months would be injected into her body through the source of his life force during the digestion process.

That warm energy shared the same origin and root as the innate Primordial Purple Qi within the Primordial Dao Fruit, and each infusion increased her refining speed dramatically.

After half a year, she had refined more than 90% of the Primordial Dao Fruit in her body, and was only one step away from completely condensing the fifth acquired Eternal Wheel and entering the tenth wheel of eternity.

Xian Mengyao's progress is a bit slower, barely halfway through.

After all, she started later than Jiang Yue'er, and her foundation was not as profound as Jiang Yue'er's, who had attained the Dao at the ninth level. It was already quite good that she could refine to this level in half a year.

Su Jie glanced down at Jiang Yue'er's face, which was flushed from the continuous assistance, and silently estimated the time in his mind.

He originally planned to wait until the death row inmates of the Temple of Myriad Laws were dealt with, and then sneak back to the Temple of Origin to see what the Lord of Origin was doing.

But now Jiang Yue'er is just one step away from success. If he can concentrate his efforts to help her break through the last barrier, a Ten-Wheel Eternal will officially stand by her side.

By then, when he goes to the Primordial Temple, even if his cheap master has some ideas, he won't have anything to fear.

With this in mind, Su Jie made a decision.

In the days to come, he planned to put everything else aside and focus on "solo training" with Jiang Yue'er until she fully entered the tenth cycle of eternity.

As for Xian Mengyao, she's already his, she can't escape now, it's not too late to help her a few months later.

Meanwhile, during the six months that Su Jie was engrossed in killing and assisting in the Abyss Prison, the atmosphere of the entire Primordial Continent had quietly changed.

As the date of the Nine Great Temples' disciple competition approaches, the supreme disciples of the Nine Great Temples who are undergoing trials outside are beginning to converge on the Temple of Myriad Laws.

Those young faces, who are usually scattered throughout the Chaos Sea and whom you may not see for years or even hundreds or thousands of years, are now pouring into the Myriad Laws Sky through various teleportation channels.

The Myriad Laws Temple, located in the Myriad Laws Heavenly Vault, was several times more bustling than usual, with disciples dressed in various temple robes coming and going.

The disciples of the nine holy temples rarely gathered together, and the air was filled with a restless excitement that a grand event was about to take place.

Outside the Myriad Laws Sky Dome, a group of disciples dressed in different temple robes sat together. The spiritual fruits and wine cups in front of them were half empty, but obviously no one really cared about eating and drinking.

So, who do you think will come in first place this year?

A young man dressed in the dark blue disciple robe of the Cangwu Temple leaned back in his chair, twirling an empty cup between his fingers, his tone languid and tentative.

"Is that even a question?"

Sitting opposite me was a disciple of the Xuanhuang Holy Temple, with a square face, who habitually tapped the table twice when he spoke.

"That's incredible. The Dao Child of the Myriad Laws Holy Temple is a ninth-order Supreme Being, and he was the champion in the last disciple competition. This year, it's the Myriad Laws Holy Temple's home ground, so it would be strange if he didn't take first place."

"That's not how you say it."

A female disciple wearing a dark red robe from the Crimson Heaven Temple chimed in, raising her hand to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her face.

"I think it's time for Jiang Yue'er from the Heavenly Maiden Temple to fight this year. She was one move short of Xuan last time, but after years of seclusion and intensive training, she might be able to turn the tables."

"Jiang Yue'er is indeed strong, but she and Xuan are evenly matched. It wouldn't be surprising if either of them won, but if we're talking about a sure thing in taking first place, I think Xuan is more reliable. After all, his Taoist magic is a perfect counter to Jiang Yue'er's style."

The Cangwu disciple who spoke first added a sentence, and then he looked at a disciple from the Yuan Chu Temple who had been silent in the corner.

"By the way, isn't your Primordial Temple's new Daoist disciple participating this year?"

The disciple of the Primordial Temple was looking down at the street scene outside the window when he heard someone ask him a question, so he turned around.

He remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I'm not sure if Su Daozi will participate. The Temple hasn't made it clear, but judging from the scale of his coronation, he shouldn't be absent, right?"

"But he was crowned with seven azure hues, and broke through to the ninth-tier supreme realm within a thousand years..."

The female disciple of Chixiao put down the fruit pit in her hand, her brows furrowing slightly.

"If he really participates, then it's really hard to say who will come in first. Xuan and Jiang Yue'er are indeed well-established veterans, but Su Jie's coronation achievement is too frightening. Seven Glazed Colors, never before seen in the history of the Origin Supreme Trial."

"But coronation achievements and actual combat are two different things."

The disciples of the Xuanhuang Holy Temple shook their heads.

"He was indeed a ninth-tier supreme being when he was crowned, but how long has it been? Less than five years, right? How long has Xuan been in the position of ninth-tier supreme being? The difference in their foundations is obvious. No matter how talented a newcomer is, it's impossible to close that gap in five years."
