Starfall Pavilion

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Yao Chen founded Starfall Pavilion and originally served as its master. He chose its name in remembrance of Han Shanshan, who sacrificed herself to save Yao Chen and Feng Xian at the Meteor God Ice Plain; the event also erased their memories of her. “Starfall” refers to the loss of that person rather than an actual fallen star. 358 363

Following Yao Chen's disappearance, Feng Xian managed the pavilion in his place. Although it remained one of the Four Directions Pavilions, its reputation gradually declined during Yao Chen's absence. 361 364

Yao Chen's return to Starfall Pavilion, followed by his restoration to a physical body, marked the beginning of a major revival. Xiao Ling joined the pavilion and was elevated to Elder, while Yao Tianhuo, a Five-star Dou Zun, also entered its ranks. Xiao Ling's status as an Eighth-grade Alchemist drew experts seeking pill refinement and strengthened the pavilion's influence. 358 363

Headquarters and Territory

Starfall Pavilion is concealed within the Star Realm, an independent space hidden in the Sky Star Mountain Range of the southern Central Plains. Outsiders who do not know the method of entry cannot locate it; even a Dou Zun would struggle to discover the entrance. 356

The Star Realm was naturally formed through meteorite starlight and protected by the Starfall Grand Formation. It was initially described as roughly city-sized, but Yao Chen expanded and reinforced it after advancing to Dou Sheng, increasing it to the combined scale of several cities. 356 370 396

Access and Defenses

• The ordinary mountain landscape outside conceals the entrance completely. 356 578
• An ancient jade stone could activate the original spatial gateway into the Star Realm. 356
• Xiao Ling can independently open a spatial gate to the realm through the Power of Space. 578
• Patrol disciples respond immediately to spatial disturbances at the entrance; the weakest patrol members were already Dou Spirits when Xiao Ling first arrived. 356 579
• Feng Xian maintains a highly confidential secluded chamber known only to him, used for sensitive work such as Yao Chen's body refinement. 358
• The strengthened Star Realm is protected by Yao Chen's mastery of the Power of Space. 370

Notable Locations

• Starfall Tower — A rough black stone tower built at the point where meteorite-derived star power converges. It is the place with the densest star power in the Star Realm. 362
• Ling Yue Peak — Xiao Ling's residence and a gathering place for his companions. 398 499
• Lingxiao Pavilion — An elders' meeting site protected by restrictions for confidentiality and defense. 579
• Treasury of Techniques Hall — Stores cultivation methods and secret manuals; prospective users must pass tests before gaining access. 579
• Medicinal Garden — A large garden containing a vast variety of rare medicinal ingredients. 397

Organization

Starfall Pavilion has the fewest disciples among the Four Directions Pavilions, but it is selective: it does not accept mediocre recruits, and its disciples are known for their cultivation talent. 356

Development and Resources

• Xiao Ling distributed Fourth- and Fifth-grade pills to pavilion disciples, gaining their goodwill and providing cultivation resources. 362
• The pavilion's Eighth-grade alchemists and growing expert base prompted previously departed experts to return. 364
• Xiao Ling planned to use the Immortal Yuan Ancient Seed and Yao Chen's Sky-Holding Bottle to cultivate an Immortal Fruit Tree, whose fruit could rapidly strengthen the pavilion's Dou Zong-level backbone. 401
• Xiao Ling also intended for Yao Chen to study the Talisman Master Cultivation Method, a Soul Power-focused path intended to strengthen Starfall Pavilion and eventually influence the Pill Tower. 501
• Newcomers Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and Ya Fei were brought to the pavilion for better prospects, toured by Mu Qingluan, and settled on a small peak near Ling Yue Peak. 580 583

Relationships

• Yao Chen — Founder and original master; his return transformed the pavilion's standing and restored its former foundation. 358 364
• Feng Xian — Current Pavilion Master and administrator responsible for the pavilion's daily operations. 364 501
• Xiao Ling — Elder, Eighth-grade Alchemist, and a central force behind the pavilion's expansion and prestige. 363 397

• Zi Yan and Medusa — Guest Elders appointed through Xiao Ling's arrangements. 398
• Four Directions Pavilions — Starfall Pavilion's peer factions and rivals; its growth caused the other three pavilions to fear and resent its dominance. 392 406 415

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Four Directions Pavilion Conference — Feng Xian assigned Xiao Ling and Mu Qingluan to represent the pavilion, whose growing power became a source of open jealousy for the other pavilions. 398 405 407
• Expansion of the Star Realm — Yao Chen reinforced and expanded the realm after becoming a Dou Sheng, allowing Starfall Pavilion to develop into a major Central Plains force. 370 396
