Hungover, I crossed over to the psychic realm

In the ancient and serene temple of the mysterious world, a profound and mysterious aura pervaded every inch of the space like fine spider silk. It was as if the rules of time and space had quietly ceased to function here, and the boundaries became blurred. Above the dome of the temple, the stars twinkled and danced, seemingly echoing the vast and boundless starry sky outside, transmitting mysterious signals from the depths of the universe. Right in the center of the temple, a suspended crystal ball emitted a soft and mysterious halo. The halo was like a flexible veil, gently swaying with the faint and imperceptible airflow. Wherever the halo reached, the entire space was bathed in a dreamy glow. Every inch of the air seemed to be endowed with a vivid life, shimmering with tiny glimmers. Standing in it, one felt as if they had reached the core of the universe, witnessing firsthand the grand mystery of the origin of all things and the sacred moment of the creation of the world.

Lin Yu was dressed in a black robe that fluttered slightly with the faint fluctuations of spiritual power around his body. It was just like the surging dark clouds in the night sky, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura. An introverted yet powerful presence emanated from him, like a giant dragon slumbering at the bottom of an abyss. Although it had not yet revealed its full might, that invisible oppressive feeling was like an immense invisible net, enveloping the surroundings and making those who approached keenly feel the deterrence of power. At this moment, he had already immersed himself in the cultivation of the "Star River Sacred Canon" and had spent a long period of time during which he had almost forgotten the passage of time.

During these days as if isolated from the world, every time the sun and the moon alternated and the stars changed, as if it was a mysterious and solemn melody played by the universe, Lin Yu would, as if summoned by some mysterious force, sit cross - legged in the center of the temple on time. He straightened his back, his posture as upright as a pine tree. His hands were naturally placed on his knees with his palms facing upward, and he slowly closed his eyes and focused his mind. In an instant, he immersed himself fully in a deep dialogue with the power of the stars. His consciousness was like the thinnest and intangible thread, breaking free from the shackles and constraints of the physical body, shuttling and exploring freely among the vast and boundless laws of the universe. The mysteries hidden in the depths of the endless star river were like precious gemstones scattered in every corner of the universe, emitting an alluring light, quietly waiting for him to explore and uncover one by one. Each rune was like a mysterious symbol engraved by the ancient universe, with every stroke containing endless energy and a vast amount of information. Each law was like the veins and foundation of the operation of the universe, controlling the birth, death, rise, and fall of all things. They were like the gentle whispers of the universe. Although the voice was soft, it was full of a power that shook the heart, requiring him to discard all distracting thoughts and listen and comprehend the profound truth within with the purest and most devout state of mind.

Countless times, Lin Yu struggled bitterly and fought tenaciously to break through the bottlenecks in his cultivation. It was a bone - deep and heart - wrenching pain, as if every cell in his body was suffering from an unbearable torture. His body felt as if it was being pierced simultaneously by countless sharp steel needles, and each needle brought a biting pain that penetrated straight to the deepest parts of his bones and blood vessels. The spiritual power in his body was like a runaway wild horse and also like a flood bursting through a dam, rampaging uncontrollably in his meridians. Every operation of the spiritual power was accompanied by a tearing pain. The pain made beads of sweat as big as soybeans instantly cover his forehead. The sweat drops kept rolling down his cheeks, ticking and wetting the ground beneath him, leaving a dark stain.

Mentally, he also endured great pressure. All sorts of strange and absurd illusions kept emerging in his mind. Sometimes it was the people he cherished most crying out in pain for help, their voices shrill and piercing his heart with every sound. Sometimes it was the failures and setbacks he had experienced repeating themselves. Those unforgettable scenes haunted him like nightmares, attempting to disrupt his mind and make him give up this extremely difficult cultivation path in pain and confusion. However, his eyes remained as firm as a rock, like the brightest star in the night sky. No matter how thick and dark the surrounding darkness was, it could not hide its dazzling light. He gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly with the effort. Relying on his unyielding perseverance and persistent pursuit of power, he broke free from the abyss of pain and confusion time and time again, stepping firmly towards a higher realm step by step.

Finally, on a star - filled and dreamy night, the entire temple seemed to be enveloped in the radiance of the universe and became the focal point where cosmic power converged. The light of the stars shone through the dome like beams of sacred light columns, accurately falling on Lin Yu's body, as if it was the recognition and blessing of the universe for him. At this moment, Lin Yu successfully mastered the preliminary power of the "Star River Sacred Canon". In an instant, the temple was filled with a brilliant light, and the power of the stars rushed into his body like a surging tide with overwhelming force and thunderous power. His body seemed to become an enormous container, continuously absorbing this incredibly powerful and almost terrifying force. Every cell was cheering and joyfully absorbing the essence of the power of the stars. At this moment, his strength had reached an extremely terrifying level, as if he was standing at the peak of the world, overlooking all living beings. 

The power of the star river lingered around his body, sometimes faintly visible. The light would be as dazzling as the Milky Way at times, as if it had gathered all the starlight in the universe, radiating a captivating and enchanting glow that made people unable to resist immersing themselves in it and marveling at the wonder and grandeur of the universe. At other times, it was as profound and mysterious as a black hole, seemingly containing endless mysteries and power, so unfathomable that people dared not look directly at it and felt a sense of awe. With every breath he took, it seemed to cause a slight tremor in the surrounding space. The air distorted and warped like a soft silk fabric with his breath, forming strange and beautiful ripples that spread out in all directions. It was a powerful aura beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. It was as if he was no longer an ordinary cultivator but had instead become the master of the universe, controlling the fate and the rise and fall of all things.

However, Lin Yu was not carried away by this power that was strong enough to subvert the world. His eyes still retained the initial firmness and purity, clear and free of any trace of being corrupted by power. In his heart, power had never been a tool for showing off or satisfying personal desires. Instead, it was a symbol of responsibility, a sharp blade and a shield for protecting the world. He was well aware that he had more important responsibilities to shoulder. That was to protect the spiritual realm and the cultivation world, to uphold peace and justice, and to fulfill his promise to countless living beings. The spiritual realm and the cultivation world were the places where he had grown up. There were his relatives and friends, his joys and sorrows along the way, and everything he held dear. He would never allow them to be endangered, nor would he allow peace to be broken and justice to be trampled upon.

Therefore, Lin Yu resolutely left this world full of mystery and the unknown and embarked on a long and arduous journey back. Standing in the center of the temple, he stood tall and straight. His hands quickly formed seals, and he murmured incantations, with each syllable seemingly containing mysterious power. As he moved, the power of the stars around him, as if summoned, quickly converged, shining brightly with great momentum. A spiritual boat condensed from the power of the stars slowly emerged. The spiritual boat was completely translucent, as if it was forged from the essence of countless stars, radiating a soft and charming starlight. In this mysterious world, it was like the most dazzling pearl in the universe, lighting up Lin Yu's path forward and guiding him home.

Lin Yu leaped up, his movements as agile as an eagle, and steadily boarded the spiritual boat. Under his control, the spiritual boat was like a shooting star streaking across the sky, trailing a long tail of light as it shuttled through the vast universe. Wherever the spiritual boat passed, it left behind a brilliant star - river trail. The trail was like a Milky Way spanning the sky, magnificent and imposing, and also like a mysterious mark left by the universe, recording his legendary journey. Eager to return home, he traveled day and night, paying no heed to the various dangers in the universe. In the depths of the universe, there were powerful interstellar storms. These storms were like huge whirlpools, howling and spinning, capable of sucking everything into the endless abyss of darkness, never to return. There were also mysterious black - hole gravitational fields. Once approaching, one would be swallowed up by the irresistible gravitational force, leaving not even a trace. Moreover, there were dense meteorite belts. Countless meteorites were like cannonballs, carrying the power of destruction, and could hit the spiritual boat at any time, abruptly ending his journey home. But Lin Yu, with his unwavering belief and excellent control skills, his eyes fixed and his hands steady, deftly avoided these dangers time and time again and sped towards the spiritual realm and the cultivation world, with only one thought in his mind: go home and protect.

Finally, Lin Yu returned to the spiritual realm and the cultivation world once more. When he set foot on this familiar land, a long - lost sense of intimacy and warmth welled up in his heart instantly, as if a wandering traveler who had endured many hardships and storms had finally returned to the embrace of his hometown and found the haven for his soul.

Every plant, every tree, every mountain, and every river here carried his past memories. Every place had the footprints of his growth, whether deep or shallow, all of which were the marks of his life. He took a deep breath, and the familiar spiritual energy filled the air. It was the smell of home, the breath he had been longing for and missing during the long years of cultivation, making his heart instantly filled with peace and warmth. Although a long time had passed, under the careful protection of the Joint Defense Force, the two worlds still maintained a peaceful and prosperous development trend, full of vitality and thriving.

In the marketplace, people were coming and going, and it was bustling with activity. The cultivators were dressed in various attires. Some wore gorgeous robes embroidered with mysterious runes. These runes sparkled brightly, as if telling ancient tales and showcasing the extraordinary status of their owners. Others wore light and nimble outfits, moving nimbly and demonstrating their competence and quick - wittedness, ready to face challenges at any time. They shuttled among the stalls, bargaining as they traded all kinds of spiritual items. On some stalls were elixirs that emitted strange lights. These elixirs were either round and plump like dazzling pearls or shimmered with colorful halos, looking dreamy. Each one contained powerful spiritual energy. It was said that taking them could make a cultivator's cultivation level soar and achieve a qualitative leap. Some stalls displayed extremely sharp magic treasures. These magic treasures came in different shapes. Some were swords that glinted with a cold light. The sword blades were long and slender, and the sword qi was menacing, as if they could cut through everything in the world. Some were treasure tripods that exuded a mysterious aura. The bodies of the tripods were engraved with mysterious patterns, containing endless power. Each one had its unique power and was a much - coveted treasure for cultivators. 

On the training ground, the young disciples were training hard, full of vigor and vitality. Their faces beamed with enthusiasm for cultivation and longing for the future. Their eyes sparkled with a determined light. Although their clothes were soaked with sweat, it didn't dampen their 

enthusiasm and fighting spirit at all. Their shouts intertwined with the sounds of spiritual power colliding, forming an exciting movement full of vitality and hope. Some disciples were practicing swordsmanship. Their sword moves were sharp and fierce. Every time they swung their swords, there was a howling wind. The spiritual power on the sword blades shimmered like streaks of lightning, with imposing momentum. Some disciples were practicing magic spells. They murmured incantations and waved their hands. As they did so, various elemental powers gathered around them. Sometimes there were raging flames, burning with intense power and illuminating the surrounding space. Sometimes there were gurgling streams, flowing with a lively aura and nourishing all things, demonstrating their proficient mastery of magic spells and precise control of power.

However, Lin Yu's keen perception allowed him to detect some potential crises and hidden dangers. He frowned slightly, his eyes deep and worried, as if he could see through the darkness and crises hidden beneath the peaceful surface. Although the seal of the Chaos Abyss had been temporarily stabilized through his previous efforts, he could vaguely sense that the evil force had not been completely eradicated. They were like venomous snakes hidden in the depths of the darkness, spitting out cold tongues and peering at the world with malicious eyes. They were stirring restlessly in the dark, constantly looking for opportunities to invade again and trying to break this hard - won peace. At the same time, with the continuous development and progress of the world, some new contradictions and problems gradually emerged, like undercurrents surging, threatening the stability of the world.

Various sects often engaged in open and covert struggles to compete for limited cultivation resources, and the conflicts kept escalating. Precious spiritual mines, which were the source of powerful spiritual energy, each containing huge amounts of energy and providing abundant spiritual power support for the sect's cultivators, were the foundation for the development and growth of the sects. Rare spiritual herbs, which grew in remote places and had miraculous effects and were essential materials for refining high - level elixirs to enhance the strength of cultivators, had all become the objects of contention. This intense competition led to an increasingly sharp contradiction in resource distribution. Some small sects, due to a lack of resources, had slow - growing disciples with difficult - to - improve cultivation levels. The development of these sects was severely restricted, and they were even in danger of being annexed by other sects, in a precarious situation. The competition between sects also became more intense. Sometimes, just because of trivial matters, such as a quarrel between disciples, it might trigger an unnecessary conflict. Both sides would fight, resulting in heavy casualties and losses, casting a shadow over the originally harmonious world. If these problems were not properly resolved, they were likely to trigger new chaos and conflicts, plunging the two worlds back into the abyss of crisis and bringing great suffering to the people.

Lin Yu was well aware that he couldn't stand by and do nothing. He decided to use his power and wisdom to help the two worlds solve these thorny problems and safeguard this hard - won peace and prosperity. He immediately sprang into action and actively participated in the coordination and communication among various sects and forces. He tirelessly shuttled among different sects. Whether it was the celestial mountain sects towering into the clouds and filled with immortal energy or the mysterious sects hidden in the valleys, his busy figure could be seen everywhere. He had in - depth conversations with the sect masters and elders of each sect, speaking earnestly. Wherever he went, he would patiently listen to their demands. With his sharp insights and profound thinking, he would analyze the root causes of the problems and search for solutions.

At a gathering of many sects, Lin Yu said solemnly and sincerely, "The peace we enjoy now is hard - won, bought with the blood and lives of countless predecessors. How can we destroy this beautiful situation because of momentary disputes over interests? Regarding the uneven distribution of resources, we can discuss together, pool our wisdom, and formulate a fair and reasonable distribution plan to ensure that each sect can achieve the development it deserves 

and make progress together. Only by uniting as one can we gather the most powerful force to jointly resist foreign enemies, protect our homeland, our relatives and friends, and this peaceful land." His words were sonorous and forceful, like the tolling of a great bell, and also like a clear spring flowing in everyone's heart, washing away the greed and selfishness in their hearts and making everyone fall into deep thought. His voice echoed in the hall, as if it had a special magic power that could penetrate people's hearts, awakening their longing for peace and unity and their adherence to justice and kindness.

Under his patient persuasion, the various sects finally reached a consensus, set aside their prejudices, and jointly developed a series of fair and reasonable resource distribution plans. According to the size of the sects, larger sects with greater resource demands were allocated relatively more resources to meet their development needs. According to the contributions of the sects, those that had made great contributions in resisting foreign enemies and maintaining peace were given more resource rewards to commend their achievements. Combining with the actual needs of the sects, for example, sects proficient in alchemy were allocated more spiritual herb resources so that they could refine more elixirs and enhance the strength of cultivators. Sects good at forging magic treasures were allocated more spiritual mine resources to create more powerful magic treasures and strengthen the sect's combat power. Through such reasonable distribution, the contradiction of uneven resource distribution was alleviated, allowing each sect to develop in a fair environment and thrive together. 

Not only that, but Lin Yu also painstakingly organized a number of joint cultivation activities and communication conferences. He invited the elite disciples from various sects to gather together to discuss cultivation insights and techniques, and share their experiences and wisdom with each other. At a grand joint cultivation event, Lin Yu personally guided the young disciples in their cultivation. Standing on the high platform, he stood tall and straight like an ancient pine. His gaze swept gently over the disciples below, and his eyes were filled with care and anticipation. He patiently explained the key points and misunderstandings in cultivation. Each key point was explained in great detail, and each misunderstanding was analyzed in a simple and profound way, making it easy for the disciples to understand and benefit a great deal. He shared his valuable experiences during the cultivation process. Those past setbacks and breakthroughs, as well as the experiences of finding hope in difficult situations, inspired the disciples deeply, as if they had found a guiding light in the dark. His voice was gentle yet powerful, as if it had a special magic power that could dispel the doubts in the disciples' hearts, enabling them to avoid detours on the cultivation path and steadily improve their cultivation levels. He encouraged the disciples to learn from and communicate with each other, breaking down the barriers between sects, and making everyone understand that although they came from different sects, they were all striving for a higher cultivation level and the peace of the world. They were an integral whole, and each one was indispensable.

At the communication conferences, the disciples of various sects spoke freely and shared the unique cultivation methods and spells of their respective sects. Some sects were proficient in controlling flames. They demonstrated powerful fire spells. The disciples waved their hands, and flames instantly shot out from their palms, transforming into a huge fire snake that danced in the sky. Wherever it passed, the air was ignited, making a crackling sound, and the intense heat made everyone around feel the power of the flames. Some sects were well - versed in water - based spiritual power and performed exquisite water spells. They could make the water flow condense into various forms in the air. Sometimes it was like a lively fish swimming freely; sometimes it was like a surging waterfall with great momentum. The water flow contained powerful spiritual power, which could not only attack the enemy but also heal their teammates, demonstrating the magic and versatility of water - based spiritual power. Through these exchanges, the disciples broadened their horizons, learned different cultivation techniques, promoted cooperation and communication between sects, and improved the overall cultivation level of the entire world.

Through these activities, the cohesion and centripetal force of the entire world were greatly enhanced. Everyone was no longer an individual fighting alone but a closely - knit whole, with their hearts and efforts united. The relationships between various sects became more harmonious, and the exchanges between disciples became more frequent. They learned from each other and made progress together. Thanks to Lin Yu's efforts, the spiritual realm and the cultivation world entered a more harmonious and prosperous development period. People lived and worked in peace and contentment on this land, enjoying peace and tranquility. Cultivators were constantly striving for higher realms, working hard to protect this beautiful world, and letting the light of peace and justice shine on this land forever.
