In the next moment.

The energy enveloping Liou Yuan’s body began to gather at the two star acupoints on his abdomen and forehead.

Then, using the star acupoints as entry points, it entered Liou Yuan’s internal organs, the Five Mansions, with all his meridians brimming with that energy.

Liou Yuan’s consciousness gradually became blurry in that state.

Finally, he slowly drifted into sleep.

The baptismal energy surrounding Liou Yuan did not stop despite his slumber.

Continuously flowed from the Star Compass, combing through his body over and over.

Until all the milky-white energy was exhausted.

From the center of the Fixed Star Compass, the floating purple hue slowly detached from the compass, entering his body through the two star acupoints.

Until all the energy was completely released.

The Fixed Star Compass vanished without a trace from Liou Yuan’s palm.

...

Liou Yuan slept exceptionally soundly.

It could be said to be the most comfortable sleep he’s had since arriving in this world.

Upon his first entry into this world, he was startled awake throughout the night by the wailing outside the city from the Alien Star Evil.

Then a series of events unfolded, leaving Liou Yuan without a moment’s relaxation.

Now under the baptism of the Star Compass, he shed all vigilance, resting in peace like a baby in a mother’s womb.

No clue how long he slept.

Until a cold sensation spread across his cheek.

Liou Yuan slowly awoke from that deep sleep, opening eyes that had remained closed for quite some time.

At the moment he opened his eyes.

A faint purple hue flashed deep within his eye sockets and vanished.

Liou Yuan was yet unaware of any peculiar occurrences.

He simply reached out to touch his cheek, feeling the remnants of snow melted by his body heat.

More snow followed, landing on Liou Yuan’s body as he lay facing upward.

"It’s morning?" Liou Yuan casually brushed the remaining snowflakes from his face, looking with surprise at the familiar courtyard of the Qiao Family.

He had, unknowingly, slept through the night.

In this world, such behavior is exceedingly dangerous, and now the Evil Star is in power.

Fortunately, Yanhe City has his brother Liou Zhen overseeing it.

Since Liou Zhen fought the Alien Star Evil on Virgo Peak, spreading the might of a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator across the city.

Causing all Star Evil to vanish overnight, not daring to show themselves.

Otherwise, Liou Yuan might have encountered danger.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness!" Liou Yuan patted his chest with relief.

After a brief moment of surprise, he seemed to recall something, quickly closed his eyes, and silently sensed the changes within his body.

He remembered the purpose of going to the Qiao Family courtyard.

For the Star Baptism.

Now it’s time to see what the Star Baptism truly is and what benefits it brings.

Originally, Liou Yuan thought he would have to rely on the Five Mansion’s sensation to determine internal changes, as before.

Who would have thought that with a simple eye closure, his consciousness would penetrate his body, seeing the internal condition?

Thump thump thump!

The heart beats robustly and powerfully.

The lungs rise and fall with Liou Yuan’s breathing.

The state of the Five Mansions is displayed before Liou Yuan.

Not just the internal Five Mansions, even the circulating Spiritual Power within them was laid bare for Liou Yuan to see.

"Nineteen, twenty... thirty-five threads."

Liou Yuan silently counted the flowing Spiritual Power within, surprised to find six more threads, surpassing the thirty threads needed for First Mansion Perfection.

Thus, Liou Yuan’s cultivation skill realm had transcended the First Mansion and reached the initial stage of the Second Mansion.

"Qi Cultivation Third Layer!" Liou Yuan murmured softly.
