Hungover, I crossed over to the psychic realm

The strong wind, carrying clouds of yellow sand, rampaged in the desolate desert like a raging beast. The howling wind sounded like the wailing of ghosts and wolves. Every grain of sand was like a sharp blade, mercilessly cutting everything around. Lin Yu and Li Qiang had been struggling to move forward in this harsh environment for a full three days. Their lips were chapped and peeling, with streaks of bloodstains that were shocking to see. Every time they swallowed, it was accompanied by a burning pain. Their faces were covered with a thick layer of dust, making it almost impossible to recognize their original appearance. Their clothes were torn to shreds by the wind and sand, and the strips of cloth fluttered wildly in the wind. There was very little dry food and water left. The water in the kettle made a faint and desperate sound with their steps, as if counting down to their predicament.

However, their determination to explore the ancient ruins was as firm as a rock that had stood in the desert for thousands of years, and there was never the slightest waver. Over the past few months, their footprints had spread to every corner of the Earth. In the hidden corners of the ancient rainforest, the lush branches and leaves blocked out the sky and the sun. The sunlight could only filter through the layers of gaps, casting dappled light and shadows. An unknown danger pervaded the humid and stuffy air, and mosquitoes buzzed in their ears, ready to bite the exposed skin at any moment. They pushed aside layers of thorns, which scratched their arms and cheeks. Blood seeped out and mixed with sweat, but they didn't even notice it, focusing all their attention on finding the traces left by time. In the frigid polar wasteland, the biting cold wind cut across their faces like a knife. Every breath they took was filled with ice shards, instantly numbing their nasal cavities and throats. They trudged through the thick snow, their legs feeling as heavy as if filled with lead. Each step required a huge amount of effort, all for the sake of exploring the secrets buried under the ice and snow.

They knew full well that in this ever-changing and dangerous world, only those ruins sealed by the passage of time were likely to hide the key to enhancing their strength and dealing with unknown threats. This was not only for themselves but also for the protection of this land they loved deeply and the people living on it. Whenever they thought of those displaced people in the disasters, a determined light would shine in their eyes, which was the power given to them by their sense of mission.

On this day, when they were crossing a desolate and remote mountain range, Li Qiang suddenly stopped in his tracks. His nostrils quivered slightly, as if he had smelled something familiar and desirable. A flash of surprise instantly appeared in his eyes, and he said eagerly, "Lin Yu, can you smell it?" Lin Yu suddenly raised his head, and his originally tired eyes instantly lit up. He took a deep breath, and the faint, mysterious, and ancient aura in the air was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, instantly invigorating him. This aura, carrying the precipitation of time and a mysterious charm, seemed like a call from ancient times. The two looked at each other. Without needing too many words, they quickened their pace and rushed towards the source of the aura.

Their hearts beat faster with each step, and an indescribable excitement and anticipation spread in their hearts. Turning around a mountain depression, an ancient and mysterious ruin suddenly appeared before their eyes. This ruin was like a giant that had been sleeping for thousands of years, lying quietly in the embrace of the mountains. It was shrouded in a faint and hazy light, which was the power of a powerful restriction. Runes flickered on the restriction, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and also seemed to be telling an ancient and mysterious story. These runes, some were like birds spreading their wings, some were like mountains and rivers stretching across, and each one contained endless mysteries.

The surrounding space seemed to be kneaded wantonly by an invisible big hand, showing a strange distortion. Occasionally, strands of spatial cracks appeared, like the mouths of demons opening in the dark, vanishing in an instant and making a heart-pounding "sizzling" sound. Seeing this scene, Lin Yu and Li Qiang knew in their hearts that this ruin hid an earth-shattering secret that was unknown to others. Perhaps the answer they had been searching for so desperately was right inside. They approached the ruin cautiously, taking every step with extreme care, as if a deadly trap could be triggered under their feet at any moment.

Lin Yu took out an ancient compass from his bosom. The pointer on the compass spun wildly, making a "buzzing" sound, which was a strong reaction to the powerful restriction. The rapid rotation of the pointer seemed to be telling the power and mystery of the restriction. Li Qiang then drew a dagger shining with a cold light from his waist. The dagger was engraved with strange runes. This was a sharp tool he had painstakingly crafted after searching for precious materials, specifically designed to break the restriction. These runes were found by him in ancient books, and each one had gone through countless attempts and verifications.

They paced slowly around the ruin, their eyes fixed on the restriction, not missing any detail. Lin Yu's gaze was like a scanner, carefully examining every rune on the restriction, trying to find the key to breaking it. His eyes were focused and determined, not letting go of any slight change. Li Qiang would touch the restriction with his hand from time to time, feeling its power fluctuations, and recalling the methods of breaking it that he had learned in his mind. His fingers gently touched the restriction, feeling the powerful and mysterious force, trying to find a breakthrough point.

As time passed, the sun gradually set in the west, and its afterglow shone on them, casting long shadows. Beads of sweat oozed from Lin Yu's forehead, shining brightly under the sunlight. Suddenly, he pointed to a corner of the restriction and shouted excitedly, "Look, the arrangement of the runes here has a pattern!" Li Qiang quickly leaned over, and the two of them held their breaths and carefully observed the runes there. They found that the arrangement of these runes was not random but followed a specific order, like a code. These runes, some were darker in color, some were lighter, and the order of their arrangement seemed to contain some ancient law.

The two began to carefully carve on the restriction according to the pattern of the runes with the dagger. Every time they carved, it was accompanied by the flickering of the light of the restriction and the jumping of the runes. As rays of light flashed by, the runes on the restriction began to gradually disappear, just like ice and snow gradually melting under the warm sun. A dull rumbling sound resounded, as if a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years had awakened, and the gate of the ruin slowly opened. This rumbling sound echoed in the valley for a long time, as if proclaiming that an ancient secret was about to be uncovered.

An old and ancient aura rushed towards them, carrying the vicissitudes of time and a mysterious charm. Stepping inside the ruin, they saw that the walls all around were covered with strange runes. These runes emitted a faint light, as if guarding this mysterious place. Various strange devices were placed on the ground. Some were like huge gears, engraved with mysterious symbols, as if waiting to be activated; some were like crystal balls emitting a mysterious light, and it seemed that there was endless energy contained inside. Each one exuded mystery and the unknown. These devices, some of their surfaces were already rusty, while some still emitted a faint light, as if telling of their past glory.

Lin Yu and Li Qiang walked forward slowly, their eyes constantly scanning everything around them, filled with curiosity and amazement. Suddenly, Li Qiang pointed at a wall and exclaimed, "Lin Yu, look!" Lin Yu looked in the direction he pointed. On the wall, there were blurred murals engraved. In the murals, a group of people dressed in strange clothes, holding weapons emitting light, were engaged in a world-shaking battle with a group of huge monsters surrounded by black mist.

In the sky, stars fell, dragging long tails, like burning meteors; the earth cracked, and huge cracks spread out, and hot magma gushed out from the ground. The whole world seemed to be plunged into the abyss of the end of the world. The tragic degree of the war was appalling. Those people dressed in strange clothes, although small in stature, had firmness and fearlessness in their eyes. They waved their weapons and fought desperately with the monsters. Next to the murals, there were also some mysterious symbols, which seemed to be telling the reason for this great war, as well as the source and application methods of some mysterious powers. These symbols, some were like a certain ancient language, and some were like abstract patterns, which were difficult to figure out.

Lin Yu and Li Qiang leaned closer to the wall and carefully observed those symbols. They tried to interpret the meaning of these symbols but found them profound and difficult to understand, containing ancient and mysterious wisdom. They took out the paper and pen they carried with them and recorded these symbols one by one, planning to study them carefully later. These symbols might be the key to unlocking the secrets of the ruin, or perhaps the key to obtaining more powerful strength.

They continued to delve deeper into the ruin, and their footsteps echoed in the empty passage. As they went deeper, the atmosphere around them became more and more mysterious and oppressive. On a stone platform at the deepest part, they found an ancient book. The cover of the ancient book was already badly decayed, as if mercilessly eroded by time, and there were several powerful and vigorous characters engraved on it: "Star Source Divine Control Technique".

Lin Yu and Li Qiang looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and surprise. They carefully approached the stone platform, as if afraid of disturbing the secrets sleeping in this ancient book. Lin Yu gently reached out his hand and touched the cover of the ancient book. An ancient and mysterious aura came from his fingertips. He slowly opened the ancient book, and the paper made a "rustling" sound, as if telling a thousand-year-old story.

It was recorded that there was a mysterious cultivation method. It was said that if one cultivated it to the extreme, they could control the power of the stars and possess the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Every page of the cultivation method was painted with strange patterns and runes, and there were also dense text annotations beside them, describing in detail the cultivation methods and steps. Lin Yu gently stroked the ancient book, as if he could see the picture of himself controlling the power of the stars and protecting the world. His eyes were filled with longing and determination, and a strong belief welled up in his heart.

Li Qiang clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Lin Yu, this is the power we've been looking for. We must succeed in cultivating it!" There was a trace of trembling in his voice, which was a mixture of excitement and anticipation. The two smiled at each other and decided to seclude themselves here for cultivation, trying to understand the mysteries of this cultivation method and embark on a cultivation journey that would change their destiny.

They found a quiet and hidden place, set up a defensive formation to prevent external interference and danger. Then, they calmed down and began to carefully study the "Star Source Divine Control Technique". This cultivation method was profound and obscure, and every word contained endless mysteries. They sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes discussed with each other, not missing any detail. Sometimes, for a key point of cultivation, they would argue until they were red in the face, until they found a reasonable explanation.

The cultivation process was not smooth sailing. They encountered many problems and bottlenecks. Sometimes, they tried a cultivation step countless times but still couldn't succeed. The power of the stars was violent and difficult to tame. If they were not careful, they would be backlashed by it and seriously injured. Once, when Lin Yu was channeling the power of the stars, it suddenly got out of control. The powerful force impacted his meridians, and he spat out blood, his face turning as pale as paper. But they didn't give up. With their firm belief and tenacious perseverance, they overcame difficulties time and time again and continued to move forward. After each injury, they would encourage each other, summarize their experience and lessons, and then throw themselves into cultivation again.

During the breaks in cultivation, Lin Yu and Li Qiang would also study the murals and symbols on the wall. They hoped to find more clues about the power of the stars and this cultivation method from these ancient messages. As the research deepened, they gradually uncovered some secrets about the ancient times of the Earth and had a deeper understanding of this cultivation method. They found that these murals and symbols seemed to be related to an ancient legend. In the legend, there was once a powerful cultivator who saved the world with the power of the stars.

Days passed, and the ruin was quiet and mysterious. Lin Yu and Li Qiang were immersed in cultivation and research, forgetting the passage of time. Their strength was constantly improving, and their control over the power of the stars was becoming more and more proficient. However, they didn't know that a greater crisis was quietly approaching, and whether they could use the power obtained in this ruin to deal with the upcoming challenges, everything was still unknown...
