Chapter Twenty-One: The New Journey

    With the fall of the Black Wind Cult Leader, the gloom over the Spiritual Yuan Continent seemed to vanish. However, Li Yunfan knows in his heart that dark forces always lurk in the shadows, and true peace requires continuous guardianship.

    In the coming months, under the leadership of Li Yunfan and Feng Wugen, the Anti-Enemy Alliance gradually cleared up the remnants of the Black Wind Cult and helped villages and towns rebuild peaceful lives. Their deeds were sung and became heroes in people's hearts.

    But Li Yunfan was not satisfied with that. He knew that his path of cultivation was still long. In a deep-night cultivation session, he felt a call from the distant starry sky.

    "It's time to embark on a new journey," Li Yunfan said to himself.

    He decided to leave the village and travel deeper into the continent, exploring unknown territories and seeking higher realms of cultivation. Upon hearing of his decision, Feng Wugen decided to accompany him.

    "Yunfan, your decision makes me proud. The path of cultivation is endless, and I'm glad to explore it with you," Feng Wugen said.

    They bid farewell to the villagers and fellow members of the Anti-Enemy Alliance, and set off on their new journey. They crossed through vast forests and climbed over towering mountains, encountering various challenges and encounters along the way.

    During one expedition, they discovered an ancient ruin, within which was hidden a long-lost cultivation script. Li Yunfan regarded it as a treasure trove, knowing that it would be a significant turning point in his path of cultivation.

    "This script seems to be connected in some way to the 'Star Technique,'" Li Yunfan discovered as he studied the manuscript.

    Feng Wugen nodded and said, "It seems like your journey with the Star Technique is far from over."

    They began to cultivate within the ruins, and as time passed, Li Yunfan's strength continued to grow. He began to touch upon the essence of cultivation.

    However, their journey was not peaceful. During their exploration of the ruins, they encountered a group of mysterious cultivators who seemed to be searching for the secrets hidden within the ruins as well.

    "Who are you? Why have you come to this place?" Li Yunfan inquired alertly.

    "We are cultivators from the Starry Sky Academy, we have been searching for this manuscript," one of the cultivators replied. "We mean no harm; we merely hope to study this manuscript together."

    After some communication, Li Yunfan and Feng Wugen learned that the Starry Sky Academy was an ancient institution dedicated to researching the mysteries of the universe and cultivation techniques. Their goals were identical to Li Yunfan's pursuit.

    "We invite you to join the Starry Sky Academy and explore higher realms of cultivation together," the cultivators said.

    Li Yunfan and Feng Wugen pondered for a while and eventually decided to accept the invitation. They knew that joining the Starry Sky Academy would help them enhance their strength more rapidly and also better protect the Spiritual Yuan Continent.

    During his days at the Starry Sky Academy, Li Yunfan felt right at home. His cultivation advanced explosively. He began to touch upon deeper and more profound cultivation techniques, and also made many friends with like-minded cultivators.

    But as his strength grew, he also became aware that even more powerful enemies and tougher challenges awaited him. His journey with the stars, was only just beginning...
