Tian Shu Wu Wang Lu

The quiet room fell completely silent. Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the cloud cushion, and Xing Jin immediately curled up into a little ball of fur, nestled in his lap, yawned, and stared at Lin Ye's brow with his round eyes. The small golden mark on his forehead shone like a little star, making him clearly Lin Ye's dedicated cultivation partner who was online the whole time.

Lin Ye lightly tapped his knees with his fingertips, first steadily circulating the basic star cultivation technique of his sect, suppressing the aura around his body to be calm and gentle, exactly the same as the fluctuations of an ordinary disciple's cultivation. After completing this perfect cover, he then activated the "Tian Shu Wu Wang Lu" deep in his divine sense.

The next second, the sea of ​​clouds above the meditation room seemed to have been pierced by a hole in the stars. The natal stars in the heavens trembled in unison, and a massive amount of galactic power turned into a bright white stream of light, pouring into the meditation room as if it were free. The star power, ten times more intense than before, rushed through his dantian along the mysterious meridians.

Inside the dantian, fine stardust spun rapidly, colliding and condensing with each other. Each grain of stardust was refined to be crystal clear, gradually gathering into tiny, rice-grain-sized stars that slowly floated and sank within the dantian, about to break through the final barrier of stardust entering the body.

Lin Ye held his breath and focused his mind, without any eagerness for quick success. Even with the blessing of a heaven-defying technique, he still took one step at a time, refining every bit of star power to its limit. This down-to-earth, hardworking, and unambitious tenacity was a habit that had been ingrained in his bones since he was a food deliveryman.

As if sensing a critical moment, Xingjin suddenly gripped Linye's robes with its little paws, mustered all its strength, and spat out a mouthful of pure star spirit power, which flowed directly into Linye's dantian to help stabilize the fluctuations in star power.

Just as the stars completely merged into a sea of ​​starlight, Lin Ye's aura trembled slightly, and the realm of Stardust entering his body and the initial formation of the Star Pivot steadily landed, crossing a realm.

There were no exaggerated celestial phenomena, no outward-leaking overwhelming aura, but Lin Ye could clearly feel that his meridians were wider, his stellar energy was purer, his physical body was stronger, and even his divine sense had expanded significantly.

He clenched his fists, his eyes burning with inspiration—from an ordinary disciple looked down upon to someone who had steadily broken through to a higher realm, he had finally taken a solid step in this world of cultivation thanks to his heaven-defying techniques, his own perseverance, and the protection of his sect!

Just as he was calming his mind and preparing to stabilize his cultivation, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside the quiet room, followed by Jiang Xubai's slightly hurried voice, mixed with Shen Qingyuan's light laughter: "Junior brother, have you finished cultivating? Your second senior sister and I cooked some Star Spirit Sweet Soup to replenish your vital energy."

Lin Ye suppressed the smile in his eyes, got up and opened the door, and the scene outside made him slightly startled.

Jiang Xubai, the senior disciple who is usually elegant and composed, had a few star spirit petals stuck to the cuffs of his Taoist robe, his hair ornament was slightly crooked, and he was holding a food box that was so hot that his fingertips recoiled slightly. He looked clumsy yet earnest.

Meanwhile, the aloof and ethereal Second Senior Sister Shen Qingyuan, with a piece of emerald green spirit leaf tucked into her hair and a bowl of sweet soup in her hand, smiled as she looked at Jiang Xubai's embarrassed state, unable to suppress a smile, completely losing her usual aloof and fairy-like demeanor.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Junior Brother." Jiang Xubai awkwardly rolled up his sleeves and placed the food box on the stone table. "The spirit chef of the Immortal Mansion is away on business. I thought you were spending your energy in seclusion, so I tried to cook a bowl of sweet soup. I didn't expect to almost burn down the alchemy furnace. It was only thanks to your second senior sister's help that it was saved."

Shen Qingyuan pushed the sweet soup in front of Lin Ye, her voice soft and smiling: "Senior Brother insisted on cooking himself, saying he wanted to nourish Junior Brother's body. He almost blew up the kitchen just now, but luckily he didn't make a fool of himself."

Lin Ye picked up the warm sweet soup. It tasted sweet and refreshing, and his star power flowed gently through him, filling his heart with warmth. In his previous life, he had been lonely and destitute, and had never experienced such a moment of being cared for and having someone think about his well-being. Looking at his two senior brothers and sisters in front of him, he couldn't help but smile sincerely: "Thank you, senior brother and senior sister. The sweet soup is delicious."

Seeing this, Xingjin immediately jumped off Linye's shoulder, ran to the food box with his short legs, tiptoed and pried at the food box, poked his little head inside and made soft "woo-woo" sounds, clearly wanting a bite too.

"I almost forgot about this little glutton." Shen Qingyuan covered her mouth and chuckled. She specially scooped a small spoonful of sweet soup and put it on a jade plate to feed Xingjin. The little guy ate it ravenously, his little paws getting covered in sugar syrup. He even rubbed it against Lin Ye's robe, making the two of them laugh. The atmosphere in front of the quiet room was relaxed and lively.

As the three were talking, hurried footsteps came from the path to the immortal abode not far away. Zhou Yang, head down, carrying a bunch of spiritual herbs, bumped into them. He was still holding a grudge because of his previous crushing defeat in the sparring match, and he wasn't watching where he was going, so he collided head-on with Jiang Xubai, scattering the spiritual herbs all over the ground.

"I'm so sorry! Senior Brother Jiang! Senior Sister Shen!" Zhou Yang was so scared that his soul almost flew away. When he looked up and saw Lin Ye, his face turned white, then red, then pale. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He originally intended to avoid Qingxuan Immortal Mansion to avoid running into Lin Ye again and embarrassing himself, but fate had other plans. In his nervousness, he slipped and fell flat on his backside, spilling all the remaining spiritual herbs on his head. He looked disheveled and comical, with not a trace of his previous arrogance.

"Watch where you're going." Jiang Xubai raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone carrying a hint of senior brother authority, but he didn't make things difficult for him.

Zhou Yang scrambled to pick up the spirit herbs, not daring to lift his head, and kept saying "sorry" before disappearing in a flash. His panicked and haphazard manner made Shen Qingyuan chuckle, while Xing Jin, with a small spoon in his mouth, made a "woo-woo" mocking sound, looking both arrogant and adorable.

Seeing this hilarious scene, Lin Ye's last bit of resentment vanished.

So-called difficulties and jealousy are just minor episodes on the path of cultivation. Instead of getting caught up in the malice of others, it is better to focus on improving oneself. This is the most reliable source of strength.

"Junior brother has just broken through to the next realm, and his foundation still needs to be solidified." Jiang Xubai put away his joking expression and spoke seriously. "Master has already instructed that after you break through to the Star Condensation Realm, you can go to the Star Hub Platform of the Immortal Mansion to cultivate. The star power there is abundant and can help you quickly stabilize your realm. I will take you there now."

Shen Qingyuan nodded in agreement and took out a star-patterned jade pendant from her sleeve: "This is a heart-protecting star pendant that can stabilize the circulation of star power. Junior brother, if you carry it, you will avoid detours when cultivating. If you encounter a cultivation bottleneck, you can come to me and Senior Brother anytime."

Lin Ye accepted the jade pendant, feeling the warm starlight emanating from his palm. He solemnly cupped his hands in a salute: "This disciple thanks Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister for their meticulous care. I will certainly not let Master and the two of you down, and will devote myself to cultivation, striving for continuous improvement!"

This inspiring determination is not a fleeting passion, but a belief he has held steadfastly since his transmigration. He has no privileged background, nor is he born with extraordinary cultivation, but he relies on his tenacity to refuse mediocrity, his heaven-defying techniques, and the protection of his sect to climb step by step, never retreating even if the road ahead is long.

Afterwards, Jiang Xubai and Shen Qingyuan led Lin Ye to the Star Pivot Platform deep within the Qingxuan Immortal Mansion.

The Star Pivot Platform was constructed from massive star-patterned stones, with a huge Star Essence Stone embedded in its center. Star power rained down from the clouds, flowing across the platform and forming a shimmering white halo, several times more concentrated than the star power in the meditation room. Standing on the platform, Lin Ye felt as if his entire body was cheering, and the star energy within his dantian was spinning rapidly, bringing him unparalleled comfort.

"You can cultivate here in peace. Your second senior sister and I will guard you from below the stage. No one will dare to disturb you." Jiang Xubai said, and he and Shen Qingyuan stood below the stage, side by side. One was gentle and protective, and the other was aloof yet warm-hearted. They were clearly Lin Ye's strongest support.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged in the center of the Star Pivot Platform, with Xing Jin perched on his shoulder, the two companions. He outwardly circulated his sect's cultivation techniques, but secretly he was fully activating the "Heavenly Pivot Record of Nothingness." A massive amount of star power surged into his body, and his newly broken-through Star Pivot initial stage was stabilizing at a visible speed, even showing a faint tendency to advance towards the mid-stage of Star Pivot.

Sunlight streamed through the sea of ​​clouds, bathing him in starlight, his eyes radiating composure and unwavering resolve. His past contempt and setbacks had become his driving force; now, the warmth of his sect and the incredible opportunities he had encountered were the foundation of his unwavering determination.

He knew that the initial formation of the Star Pivot was merely the beginning; higher realms, greater challenges, and more mysterious stellar secrets awaited him. But he was fearless. With the "Record of the Unfettered Heavenly Pivot" by his side, with his loving and protective master and senior brothers and sisters, and with the ever-present Star Ember, he would surely use perseverance as his ladder and stellar power as his wings to traverse the galaxy step by step, ascend the path of cultivation, and live the life he most desired!

Below the stage, Jiang Xubai watched Lin Ye's focused cultivation figure and said softly to Shen Qingyuan with a smile, "Junior Brother has a strong will and is willing to work hard and diligently. His future achievements will surely surpass those of you and me."

Looking at the tall figure on the stage, Shen Qingyuan's eyes were full of relief and expectation. She nodded gently and said, "We will protect him together and help our junior brother improve. Master will definitely be proud of him."

The wind sweeps across the sea of ​​clouds, carrying the fragrance of stars and spiritual herbs. The young man's path of cultivation is filled with inspiring transformations, heartwarming and humorous companionship, and an unwavering brilliance that slowly unfolds amidst the dazzling galaxy.
