Tian Shu Wu Wang Lu

After being cleansed by demonic energy, the purple mist in the Star Abyss Secret Realm finally dissipated completely, and the entire world became clear and bright.

The sky was clear and bright, without a trace of gloom. Underfoot were tiny, star-colored crystals, each containing warm and pure star power. With each step, a fine halo of star power spread along the soles of the feet, slowly seeping into the limbs and bones. The meridians throughout the body became incredibly comfortable at this moment, and even the breath was filled with the refreshing scent of star power.

Within the secret realm, there are only ruins left by ancient star cultivators. On the broken palace pillars, ancient star patterns that have long been lost are engraved. Even after being eroded by countless ages, they still exude a profound and pure aura of star cultivators, without the slightest impurity.

Here, there is no demonic energy swirling around the outer reaches of the secret realm, nor the ferocity of roaring monsters. Only the pure star power most suitable for cultivators remains, making it a rare cultivation holy land in the entire Cangxing Realm.

Lin Ye slowly withdrew his fist, and the golden star power surrounding his body gradually receded into his dantian through his pores. The fatigue from the fierce battle with the Netherworld Branch cultivators was gradually soothed by the rich star power around him.

He is currently in the early stages of Star Palace Foundation Establishment. This is his unique cultivation path, which seems to correspond one-to-one with the five major realms of cultivation practiced by the general public in the Cangxing Realm: Star Guiding, Star Condensation, Spirit Star, Star Bridge, and Star Core. However, they are actually worlds apart.

To outsiders, his cultivation aura was no different from that of the early stage of the Spirit Star Realm. But only Lin Ye himself knew that the Star Palace he had opened by relying on the supreme technique "Tian Shu Wu Wang Lu" was far more refined and solid than that of ordinary cultivators. Within the same realm, the purity of his star power, the thickness of his foundation, and his combat strength far surpassed all other cultivators of the same level in the Cangxing Realm, making him invincible among his peers.

Shen Qingyuan slowly sheathed her star-patterned longsword beside her. The previous wariness in her cool eyes faded, replaced by genuine approval. She looked at Lin Ye and said softly, "Junior brother, the star power here is pure and abundant, far surpassing that of the outer edge of the secret realm. It is an excellent place to consolidate your current realm and seek a breakthrough. If you cultivate diligently here, you will surely be able to reach a higher level."

She could clearly sense that Lin Ye's cultivation aura seemed no different from that of an ordinary early-stage Spirit Star Realm cultivator, but it was far more profound and stable than that of other cultivators of the same level. His star power flowed around him without any flaws. However, she only thought that this was due to Lin Ye's outstanding talent and never considered that his cultivation realm and techniques were completely different from those of ordinary people in the world.

Lin Ye nodded slightly, his gaze slowly sweeping over this ancient star cultivator's ruins, but deep in his eyes, he kept thinking of his good brother Lu Chenyuan, who was far away in the outer sect of Lingxiao Sect.

The two relied on each other for survival in the outer sect, but Lu Chenyuan was not fortunate enough to have a superior opportunity and was still stuck at the fifth level of the Star-Attracting Realm. He only had the lowest-level cultivation technique issued by the sect, and his cultivation progress was slow. Breaking through the shackles was as difficult as ascending to heaven. He did not even have the qualification to enter the Star Abyss Secret Realm and could only stay in the outer sect and cultivate in hardship.

Upon entering the secret realm, Lin Ye had already made up his mind that no matter how dangerous the road ahead or how difficult the opportunity, he would find a top-tier star power cultivation technique for Lu Chenyuan that could defy fate and help his brother break free from the shackles of his talent and escape the predicament of stagnation.

"Senior sister, let's venture deeper into the secret realm." Lin Ye pulled himself out of his thoughts, looked at Shen Qingyuan, and said with certainty, "I have a vague feeling that something in the depths of this secret realm is calling to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the seemingly ordinary delivery box behind him suddenly became slightly warm, and a faint but incredibly clear sense of attraction emanated from the box, pointing directly into the depths of the secret realm.

This is a secret signal that only Lin Ye understands. It is the takeout box that accompanied him that triggered the ability to guide him through opportunities. This is also his greatest reliance in the secret realm, which allowed him to have many adventures and turn danger into safety.

His intuition, honed from running errands in his previous life, was exceptionally sharp at this moment. He almost instantly knew that there must be a valuable treasure ahead that could help Shen Yuan.

Although Shen Qingyuan had doubts, she did not ask any further questions. She simply nodded and walked side by side with Lin Ye into the depths of the secret realm.

The deeper one goes, the denser the surrounding star power becomes, and the clearer the ancient star patterns on the palace walls become. Each pattern seems to breathe slowly, absorbing the star power between heaven and earth, as if it were a living thing.

The two walked steadily, avoiding the scattered rubble and the faint hidden restrictions, and soon entered a dilapidated side hall.

As soon as Lin Ye entered the side hall, the delivery box on his back suddenly became hot, and the pulling force became incredibly strong, pointing precisely to a pile of rubble in the corner of the side hall. Lin Ye stopped abruptly, signaling Shen Qingyuan to wait a moment, then quickly walked to the pile of rubble, bent down and used his weak star power to slowly clear away the pile of rubble.

As the rubble scattered, a palm-sized object lay quietly on the ground, its entire body as white as jade, with a faint golden halo flowing across its surface. Inside, it seemed to contain a miniature galaxy, with extremely pure star power slowly emanating, making the surrounding air thick and viscous.

"It's a Star Power Soul-Nourishing Jade!" Shen Qingyuan rushed forward, and upon seeing the object clearly, she couldn't help but exclaim softly, her eyes filled with unbelievable joy. "This is a supreme treasure for tempering the Spirit Star Realm and purifying Star Power. For Spirit Star Realm cultivators, it's an extremely rare treasure, one that's hard to come by. I never expected it to be hidden here!"

Lin Ye slightly closed his palms, tightly holding the Star Power Soul-Nourishing Jade in his hand. In an instant, the extremely warm and pure Star Power surged wildly into his palm through the meridians, penetrating his limbs and bones.

As if summoned, the "Tian Shu Wu Wang Lu" within his body began to operate wildly on its own, absorbing and refining the star power surging into his body at a speed several times faster than usual, transforming it into his own exclusive pure star power.

"Senior sister, please protect me. I need to break through my cultivation level here." Lin Ye spoke without hesitation. As soon as he finished speaking, he sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and devoted himself to cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingyuan immediately walked to the entrance of the side hall, holding a star-patterned longsword, and vigilantly scanned her surroundings to prevent any external interference, wholeheartedly protecting Lin Ye.

A massive amount of stellar power poured out from the Star Power Soul-Nourishing Jade, like a flood bursting its banks, flowing continuously through the meridians into the dantian and into that newly formed Star Palace.

When an ordinary cultivator reaches the early stage of the Spirit Star realm, the Star Palace within their dantian is small and cramped, with sparse and scattered star power, resulting in an extremely weak foundation. However, the Star Palace that Lin Ye opened up in reliance on the "Record of the Unfettered Heavenly Pivot" already followed the ancient Star Pivot Great Dao, giving him a foundation far superior to ordinary people. Now, under the nourishment of the Star Power Soul-Nourishing Jade, his dantian Star Palace begins to expand wildly, with star power continuously condensing and solidifying, making the inner walls of the Star Palace increasingly robust.

The delivery box behind him always radiated a gentle warmth, like a warm and gentle furnace, carefully soothing and purifying the raging star power flowing into his body, removing all the minute impurities, making every bit of star power pure and perfectly integrated into Lin Ye's meridians and star palace.

The already superior star power of its peers became even more condensed, transforming into a liquid gold-like form that flowed steadily through the meridians without any sense of rage, yet contained an incomparably powerful force.

Time passed slowly, and in less than half an hour, a clear buzzing sound suddenly came from Lin Ye's body.

The barrier that had been holding back cultivation shattered under the impact of the massive amount of pure star power!

His aura surged instantly, but it was firmly contained within the "Tian Shu Wu Wang Lu" without leaking out in the slightest.

Star Mansion Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, Breakthrough Successful!

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliant starlight appearing briefly before returning to calm.

His cultivation aura was no different from that of a mid-stage Spirit Star cultivator in the Cangxing Realm. To outsiders, he had simply completed a normal breakthrough in his cultivation level without any special characteristics.

Only Lin Ye himself knew that after this breakthrough, the territory of his Dantian Star Palace had expanded three times, and the star power within the Star Palace had been completely condensed into liquid. His physical strength and the stability of his soul far surpassed any cultivator of the same realm in the world. Even if he encountered a cultivator of the corresponding realm who was in the late stage of the Spirit Star Realm or even the peak of the Spirit Star Realm, he was absolutely confident that he could crush the opponent with absolute strength.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on successfully breaking through to the mid-stage." Shen Qingyuan smiled gently when she saw him open his eyes, genuinely happy for him.

"Thank you for your wholehearted protection, Senior Sister. Without you, I would not have been able to break through so smoothly." Lin Ye stood up, clenched his fists, and felt the surging yet restrained power within his body. He felt more confident and his eyes became more determined. "Let's continue to explore the depths of the secret realm. I must find a top-level star power technique that can help Shen Yuan break through his shackles."

After a short rest, the two set off again, heading deeper into the ancient temple.

Along the way, the delivery box provided crucial guidance, helping the two precisely avoid deadly ancient restrictions. They also found several high-grade star crystals, several warm and lustrous star jades, and a tattered notebook containing the insights of an ancient star cultivator. These opportunities became nourishment for Lin Ye to improve his cultivation and stabilize his realm.

Lin Ye digested what he had learned along the way and devoted himself to refining his cultivation, making his newly broken-through Star Mansion Foundation Opening stage more and more stable, and his control over star power more and more skillful.

During their journey, the two encountered several remnants of the Netherworld branch of cultivators. These cultivators were all around the Spirit Star Realm. Seeing Lin Ye and Shen Qingyuan traveling alone, they immediately harbored malicious intentions and launched a fierce attack.

Lin Ye's eyes were cold, and his actions were swift and decisive. He activated the "Tian Shu Wu Wang Lu" and activated the liquid star power in his body. With the star power resonance of the takeout box, he unleashed his exclusive martial skill, Tian Shu Star Fist. With a simple punch, he brought with him overwhelming power.

The Netherworld cultivators who came to attack were powerless to fight back. They were all blasted away by a single punch, severely injured and lying on the ground, with no power to resist anymore.

Even as these cultivators collapsed to the ground, their faces were filled with disbelief and confusion: they were clearly at the same level, so why was this young man so powerful?

They could never understand, no matter how hard they tried, that Lin Ye's Star Mansion Foundation Establishment Realm, relying on ancient techniques, had already surpassed their understanding of the Spirit Star Realm. The two seemed to be at the same level, but in reality, they were worlds apart.

Lin Ye slowly withdrew his fist, no longer glancing at these small fry, and turned his gaze to the center of the secret realm, to the mountainous area where star power was boiling and clouds and mist were swirling.

He was certain that the place with the most abundant spiritual energy must hold a top-tier opportunity that could change his good brother Lu Chenyuan's fate. He was determined to find that opportunity and pave a smooth path of cultivation for his brother.

Immediately, he and Shen Qingyuan exchanged a glance, then without lingering, they strode resolutely toward the Star Vein Mountain Range in the center of the secret realm.
