Ye Lingyun sat quietly in the center of the Cultivation Room, a crystal-clear Star Ice Tear hovering before him. This was the champion's prize he had won in the Internal Academy Selection Tournament. It was said to contain the essence of Star Power, capable of helping cultivators break through bottlenecks and advance their cultivation.
The Star Ice Tear gave off a faint blue glow, like the brightest star in the night sky. Ye Lingyun drew a deep breath. He knew this would be an important moment on his path of cultivation.
He slowly reached out and gently touched the Star Ice Tear. A cool, pure energy instantly surged into his body, and his Star Power began to circulate slowly, as though it had been awakened.
Ye Lingyun closed his eyes and began guiding the energy through his body. The energy of the Star Ice Tear flowed like countless streams joining into a river, eventually forming a vast vortex in his dantian.
His Star Power was continuously compressed and purified within the vortex. Ye Lingyun could feel it growing stronger, his cultivation steadily advancing along with it.
Time ticked by, and Ye Lingyun's cultivation continued to rise. From the early Star Emperor Stage to the middle stage, then to the late stage, his rate of progress would have shocked anyone.
Finally, when he had fully absorbed the last trace of the Star Ice Tear's energy, Ye Lingyun's cultivation reached the peak of the Star Emperor Stage. He opened his eyes, starlight gleaming within them.
"So this is the power of the peak Star Emperor Stage?" Ye Lingyun murmured to himself. He could feel the surging strength within his body, as though a single thought would be enough to shake mountains.
He stood and walked into the courtyard outside the Cultivation Room.
