178: The temple's high-ranking official was astonished; what was the origin of this infant?
"System, pull up the panel."
[Ding! Generating Host's current status...]
[Name: Su Jue]
[Race: Human (Intermediate Datafied Dragon Body 68%) (Advanced Chaos Dragon Body 38%)]
[Realm: Peak Divine Ability Realm, Third Stage]
[Cultivation Technique: Heart Canon(Entry Level 2.1%)]
[Law: Chaos Unity (4.2%)]
[energy points: 5,124,780,000]
[Comprehensive Evaluation: Congratulations! You have successfully evolved from a 'Daddy's Boy' into a 'Temple Parasite'!]
[Note: Elder Feng's treasury has provided precious nutrients for your growth. It is suggested that you consider visiting the Headquarters' treasury next time.]
Looking at the Data on the panel, the corners of Su Jue's mouth were harder to suppress than an AK's recoil.
His realm was still Peak Divine Ability Realm, Third Stage.
But every value had undergone a qualitative leap.
Especially the law of [Chaos Unity].
It had jumped directly from 3.5% to 4.2%.
Although the increase didn't seem large, Su Jue knew.
This 0.7% increase meant he had understood several more new law origins.
Now, if he encountered an opponent in the Venerable Realm... he wouldn't even need to involve the [dimensional universe]; he could probably win in a direct head-on clash!
"Not bad."
Su Jue stretched lazily.
"Next is to wait for that old man's recommendation letter."
"Boss, are we really going to the Cosmic Temple Headquarters?"
Capybara was a bit worried.
"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers there..."
"What is there to fear?"
Su Jue curled his lip.
"Didn't my mom say? The seventh trial is to make a name for myself in the Cosmic Temple."
"Perfect timing. While going to the Headquarters, I'll also look for the remaining eight fragments of the [compass of destiny]."
He always felt that thing was very important to him.
Moreover, the hint given by the system was that it was a nine-piece set.
Since he had obtained the first piece, he definitely had to collect the rest.
"Oh, right."
Su Jue suddenly remembered something.
"Where are Niu Tuo and Mao Xiaomeng?"
"They were taken away by Lady Elizabeth,"
Capybara said.
"She said she was throwing them into some 'Myriad Dragon Blood Pool'..."
Su Jue nodded.
Those two guys were indeed too weak.
Following him would only hold him back.
But for Elizabeth to be willing to help... tsk.
She acts like she doesn't care, but her actions say otherwise.
Clearly saying she wouldn't care, but then helping out secretly in the end.
"Forget it, don't worry about them."
Su Jue stood up.
"I'll go take a bath first, then get some sleep."
"Wait for news from that old thing Feng Qingyang."
After saying that, he walked toward the bathroom.
Capybara lay on the sofa and opened the Cosmic Network.
It wanted to see how the outside world reacted to what happened today.
When it opened it... the whole Capybara was stunned.
[Shocking! A mysterious energy explosion occurred on the Cosmic Temple's Seventh Reception Star!]
[Witnesses claim a Saint King Level powerhouse may have descended!]
[Guardian Envoy Feng Qingyang urgently suppressed the news; what exactly happened?]
[Exclusive Scoop! Someone saw an Infant shatter the heaven-reaching divine pillar with one punch at the registration office!]
[Apollo, the Saint of the Light God Clan, was sent flying by a mysterious Infant's punch, status unknown!]
One trending topic after another exploded across the entire Cosmic Network.
And all fingers pointed toward a human Infant wearing animal onesie pajamas.
Capybara looked at these news reports and sighed silently.
[Boss is going to be famous again...]
It could already imagine what would happen next.
Countless factions would come to investigate Su Jue's identity.
Countless experts would become interested in him.
And those guys who considered themselves geniuses would surely be unconvinced and want to challenge him.
Then... then there would be no then.
Because they would die a miserable death.
[Sigh, what a sin...]
Capybara shook its head and closed the network.
It decided it was better to quietly eat melon seeds.
Anyway, if the sky falls, the Boss will hold it up.
As a Capybara, it couldn't manage that much... Meanwhile.
Cosmic Temple Headquarters.
Inside a magnificent palace constructed from pure law power.
Several figures, powerful enough to distort space, were gathered together.
"News has come from the Seventh Branch."
"A human Infant shattered the heaven-reaching divine pillar."
The speaker was a man whose entire body was entwined with golden divine chains.
His aura was unfathomable; he was impressively an existence at the Peak Great Saint Realm!
"The heaven-reaching divine pillar? Isn't that a testing holy artifact bestowed by the Headquarters?"
Another figure spoke.
This was an old woman wearing a star-patterned Daoist robe, also at the Peak Great Saint Realm!
"Shattered by an Infant?"
"How is this possible!"
"What is that old thing Feng Qingyang doing?"
"No."
The man with golden divine chains shook his head.
"Feng Qingyang personally wrote a recommendation letter."
"He says that Infant's talent is rare throughout the ages."
"It even surpasses that of..."
He paused and did not continue.
But everyone present understood what he meant.
The atmosphere instantly became heavy.
"If it is truly as Feng Qingyang says..."
The old woman spoke slowly.
"Then this Infant must be brought into the Temple's core for cultivation!"
"At any cost!"
"Agreed."
"Seconded."
"I agree as well."
Several voices rang out in succession.
Clearly, all the experts present took this news very seriously.
"Then it's settled."
The man with golden divine chains said.
"Have Feng Qingyang personally escort that Infant to the Headquarters."
"Remember, his safety must be guaranteed!"
"Yes!"
A black shadow flashed from outside the hall and then disappeared.
The palace fell back into silence.
Only those few powerful figures were still pondering something.
After a long time.
The old woman suddenly spoke.
"Do you think... could that Infant be related to 'that matter'?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone's aura faltered.
"Impossible."
The man with golden divine chains said decisively.
"'That matter' has been sealed deep within the Forbidden Ground."
"Even we cannot touch it."
"How could an Infant..."
But he stopped halfway through his sentence.
Because he remembered the recommendation letter he had just seen.
On it was a sentence personally written by Feng Qingyang.
"This child is suspected to be able to trigger the 'compass of destiny'..."
The compass of destiny.
That was one of the Temple's greatest secrets!
Legend has it that it is a nine-piece set of treasures scattered throughout the universe.
Only by gathering all nine fragments can one know its true secret.
And that secret... is said to concern the fate of the entire universe!
"It seems..."
The man with golden divine chains took a deep breath.
"We underestimated the importance of this Infant."
"We must report to the Temple Master immediately!"
"Wait!"
The old woman suddenly raised her hand.
"Don't disturb the Temple Master yet."
"He has recently been in seclusion, attempting to break through to a higher realm."
"If he is disturbed at this time..."
Everyone shuddered upon hearing this.
They knew the old woman was right.
The Temple Master was attempting to break through to a realm beyond the Saint King Realm.
At such a critical moment, any disturbance could lead to cultivation deviation!
"Then we..."
"Observe first."
The old woman said.
"When that Infant arrives at the Headquarters, we will meet him in person."
"If he really can trigger the compass of destiny..."
"Then it means the legend is true."
"The prophecy of 'that person' is also true..."
Her voice grew lower and lower.
But everyone present heard her clearly.
A complex look flashed in all their eyes.
There was anticipation.
There was fear.
And there was an indescribable excitement!
If the legend were true... then this universe was about to welcome an unprecedented transformation!
And they... would become the witnesses of this transformation!
