In the world of martial arts, one works tirelessly to attain enlightenment.

Chapter 68, Journey to the Starry Sky Realm

"Sister Lin, I've finished reading it."

Lin Ran returned the thread-bound book to Lin.

Lin carefully put away the thread-bound book and sat up straight.

"Show me how to do it."

Lin Ran got up and closed her eyes to recall the contents.

Eight gates, effect-position.

Xiumen: Recovery - Clavicle Center

Injury Gate: Attack - Both Hands

Du Men: Qi and Blood Stabilization - Spine

Shock Gate: Speed ​​- Both Knees

Jingmen: Defense - Back

Death Gate: Willpower - Mind

Life Gate: Immortality - Heart

Open the door: Comprehension - Forehead.

The Gate of Life and Death: A barrier between life and death; once crossed, one gains immortality.

Each time you open a door, you gain the corresponding ability.

In Lin's vision, each gate corresponds to a major realm, but the spiritual energy is too strong, so she has to lower the standards.

The Eight Gates plus the Gate of Life and Death correspond to the upper, middle, and lower three levels of the three major realms of Awakening, Divine Fire, and Transcendence, totaling nine realms.

The Nine Stars of the Dao Palace correspond to those above the extraordinary level.

Her combat prowess is beyond doubt. As a succubus lord who is a high-ranking superhuman, she didn't dare to utter a single word when Lin pointed her finger at her and cursed her.

It's not that it's a coward, it's that Lin really can beat it to a pulp...

That concludes the recap.

Lin Ran chose the first door.

The Rest Gate class prioritizes recovery; only with a constantly replenished mana bar can skills be continuously used.

Once the portal is selected, the Qi and blood surge and converge at the center of the collarbone.

Thanks to his powerful mental strength, the process of gathering Qi and blood was effortless.

The experience points are refreshed every two or three seconds.

【…】

Five minutes later.

[Eight Gates Formation LV1→LV2: 1/1000]

The moment the skill was upgraded, Lin Ran felt a slight numbness right in the center of her collarbone, followed by the opening of something similar to a dantian.

But it is a channel, or a powerful water pump, connecting the outside world with the inside of the body, and purifying the forces that enter the body.

A sudden realization dawned on Lin Ran.

Open the door!

Instantly, the spiritual energy in the room turned into a vortex, with Lin Ran's collarbone at its center.

Through the Xiu Gate, spiritual energy enters the body and is immediately digested and cleansed, generating a continuous flow of Qi and blood in the physical body.

Lin Ran took out crystals of various attributes, and the spiritual energy vortex in the living room immediately weakened and shifted to the crystals.

All attributes are accepted without discrimination and are uniformly refined into Qi and Blood.

Lin Ran clenched his fist, feeling an unprecedented sense of exhilaration, as if he could smash everything with a single punch.

a long time,

Lin Ran sensed that Lin was still waiting, and reluctantly ended her cultivation.

[Eight Gates Formation, Experience +3]

"?"

After absorbing so much spiritual energy, all I've gained is this little bit of experience?!

Lin Ran was shocked.

"I misjudged you; you truly are a martial arts genius, one in a million."

Lin's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She thought back to the hardships she endured when she combined ancient martial arts to create the Eight Gates Formation, and then looked at Lin Ran now.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable!

"Come here, I'll teach you other martial arts."

Lin walked towards the cultivation room.

Lin Ran touched her forehead, feeling that Lin was acting strangely, but still followed her.

Inside the meditation room.

Lin used her spiritual energy to separate the others and beckoned to Lin Ran with her finger.

"Come on, attack me using martial arts techniques."

"it is good."

Lin Ran activated the Dragon Scale Shield, and two blood dragons appeared beneath her feet. A chaotic wind and thunder struck towards Lin.

boom!

Lin Ran was kicked away at an even faster speed, crashing into the spiritual energy shield. The dragon scale shield on her chest shattered completely, and she didn't get hit by a single attack.

"Although you have a good grasp of it, you don't know how to use it correctly. Continue."

Lin's voice reached my ears.

Lin Ran shook her head, recalled for a moment, and then rushed out again.

bang bang bang...

Three hours later.

Lin clapped her hands and removed the spiritual energy shield.

"You've made good progress. Take some time to process it yourself. I'll stay here for a while, and come back to me after you've processed it."

Nangong Yu and Ling Qiqi were somewhat confused as they watched Lin suddenly appear and leave.

Looking down at the ground, there lay a person whose eyes were so swollen they couldn't be seen.

"Nangong, heal your wounds."

Lin Ran said weakly in the team chat.

Nangong Yu then recognized that this person was Lin Ran.

She stretched out her hands, radiating a gentle white glow, the points of light merging into Lin Ran's body.

Ling Qiqi also came to help and quickly healed Lin Ran's face.

Ling Qiqi chuckled and poked Lin Ran's cheek: "Captain, did you offend Sister Lin?"

"I don't know. Sister Lin said she was helping me master martial arts, but I think she just wanted to beat me up."

Lin Ran relaxed and enjoyed the treatment from the two, but she still had some doubts about life.

Nangong Yu smiled gently, touched Lin Ran's forehead, and comforted her, "I suppose it's because Sister Lin thinks highly of you that she used the strictest methods."

"Sister Lin is also an extraordinary person. If she doesn't catch someone's eye, she might not dedicate herself to teaching them."

"Thank you, that's what I thought too."

Lin Ran smiled brightly, a smirk playing on her lips.

The view was mostly blocked, and I could only see half of Nangong Yu's face.

In less than ten minutes, Ling Qiqi withdrew her power.

"Alright, Captain, your injuries have been fully healed. The rest will heal on your own."

She slapped Lin Ran's chest hard and left without looking back.

Lin Ran got up, puzzled, and asked Nangong Yu.

"Nangong, I don't think I've offended her, have I?"

"Perhaps."

Nangong Yu smiled gently, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and bowed slightly after standing up.

"May the God of Light protect you, Captain."

Lin Ran's face stiffened, still unsure how to respond.

……

The hovercraft sped away from the base.

There were only two people in the car: Lin Ran and Lin Lin.

"Sister Lin, is this location really in the world of stars?"

Lin Ran was incredulous upon learning the location of the Star Guardians.

Lin glanced at Lin Ran as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Otherwise, why would they be called the Star Guardians?"

Lin Ran: ...

That makes a lot of sense.

"The Star Guardian Clan's Mother Realm is a planet located at the edge of the starry sky, which can be reached by passing through the boundary barrier."

"I have some connections with one of the elders of the Star Guardians, so they won't mistake you for an intruder."

"As for gaining the Star Guardians' approval, it's simple: kinship, love, friendship... similar methods will suffice."

"You can also direct and act out your own drama. Which elder wouldn't say anything out of respect for me? The premise is that you treat the Star Guardians well."

"Otherwise, if that guy goes berserk, I won't be able to stop him."

Lin warned Lin Ran, but as she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Lin Ran was suspicious, feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with what Lin said.

Is this really not a kidnapping attempt?

"Alright, hurry up and go cultivate, don't waste time."

Lin's expression suddenly turned cold.

Lin Ran didn't dare to look any longer and obediently began cultivating.

After a brief attempt,

The chosen cultivation method is based on the Soul Nourishing Technique, supplemented by the Eight Gates Formation.

The core of the Eight Gates Formation is also spiritual power.

Focusing most of your attention on the Soul Nourishing Method to enhance your spirit, and using the remaining small portion of your attention to maintain the Rest Gate, will increase your experience.

Lin Ran took out a bunch of crystals to cover herself, limiting the range of Xiu Men's influence so as not to affect Lin.

The journey to the Star Guardians is long; it takes more than ten hours by air vehicle.

Lin Ran was so engrossed in cultivation that he barely noticed the passage of time until Lin's voice rang directly in his mind.

"arrive."
