----

As his eyes drifted open, the soft glow of his system interface was the first thing he saw, confirming that morning had already broken.

Golden light streamed into the guest hall through its carved windows, painting long, bright streaks across the room. Tianyuan Star’s spiritual energy felt much thicker, more alive, than back on Blue Star; even just sleeping here seemed to rejuvenate him completely.

Now focusing on his panel, he noticed the addition of the Lighting Sword Qi to his list of acquired skills. That was due to his activation of the thunder surge blade, giving him a lighting attribute technique.

Then, with a thought, the panel vanished.

His mind then drifted to Zhao Tianhe’s words from the previous night.

The Zhao family’s younger members, Zhao Tianhe had said, would surely want to test an outsider whom Zhao Yuexin herself had brought into their home.

Lin Yi sat up, a slow stretch easing the stiffness from his shoulders.

"Just as I thought," he muttered quietly, a wry edge to his voice. "Peace never seems to last for very long, does it?"

At his hip, the Thunder Surge Blade gave a soft, almost imperceptible hum.

A moment later, from the blade’s sheath, a small sphere of crackling blue lightning floated out, hanging in the air before him.

Lei Bao, it seemed, had made his reappearance.

"Little one Xu Mu," Lei Bao’s crackling voice filled the air. "You finally wake. I was starting to think humans on this planet hibernated."

Lin Yi offered a flat, unamused look.

"I was sleeping," he replied simply.

"An admirable weakness," Lei Bao chirped.

Lei Bao spun once, sparks dancing and swirling around his form.

"But now that you’re finally conscious," he continued, "let’s talk about something a bit more important."

"Are you talking about the Zhao family juniors, trying to cause trouble for me?"

"No," Lei Bao corrected him.

"The mountain," Lei Bao stated, the playful note gone from his voice.

Lin Yi’s expression tightened instantly.

Lei Bao drifted closer, his usual playful tone noticeably absent now.

"The Ninefold Heaven Gate Mountain isn’t just some ordinary peak," Lei Bao began, his voice dropping to a serious hum. "It’s an ancient ascension trial, one that was reinforced by the Heavenly Dao itself, ages ago. Most people, the fools, they just see a peak to conquer."

"And they are mistaken," Lin Yi murmured, stating the obvious.

Lin Yi stayed quiet, simply listening.

Lei Bao continued, a weighty seriousness in his voice.

"The first requirement, it’s completely unbending," Lei Bao emphasized.

"A minimum of Level 250," he clarified.

"If you’re anything below Level 250, the Heavenly Barrier of the First Gate will simply reject you on the spot," Lei Bao explained. "It doesn’t care about your talent, your lineage, any secret techniques you possess, or even how confident you are."

"It only cares for one thing: raw qualification."

Lin Yi’s brow furrowed slightly.

"So, brute force won’t work to break through it, then?"

Lei Bao let out a dry, crackling laugh.

"Oh, many have tried," he replied. "Many are also quite dead."

Lin Yi nodded, accepting the brutal truth of the answer.

"And what comes after the First Gate?" Lin Yi asked, his voice low.

"Each gate beyond that first one tests something entirely different," Lei Bao explained.

The lightning orb around Lei Bao pulsed, crackling a little brighter.

"Strength of will, the stability of one’s soul, combat instinct, even Dao affinity, and how much endurance you have under heavenly pressure," Lei Bao listed, the words rapid-fire. "The higher you climb, the less those raw levels actually matter, and the more your true foundation comes into full view."

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, a flicker of understanding passing through them.

"What about the Fifth Gate, then?"

Lei Bao paused, his usual agitated crackling going still for a brief moment.

"The Fifth Gate," he said, his voice now utterly solemn, "is where mediocrity simply ceases to exist."

"Anyone who manages to pass the Fifth Gate is acknowledged by the mountain itself as having moved beyond the realm of mortals. Their cultivation, at that point, transforms them into a Half-Step Ascendant."

Lin Yi’s eyes flickered, taking it all in.

"So, someone could leave right after that?"

"Yes," Lei Bao confirmed. "Many do, in fact."

Lei Bao began to spin slowly again, the sparks around him resuming their gentle dance.

"Once they reach Half-Step Ascendant, most people descend the mountain. They go back to their factions and spend years trying to comprehend a Law, forging their own unique Dao Path, all in preparation for a true ascension much later on."

"That sounds like the sensible path to take," Lin Yi commented.

"And the... less sensible, perhaps foolish, route?" Lin Yi prompted.

"To continue climbing immediately," Lei Bao replied, a hint of amusement returning to his crackle.

"Most who choose that path," he added, "tend to become either legends whispered through time or just... corpses."

Lin Yi stood, then moved toward the window, his gaze drawn to the distant mountain peaks that seemed to pierce the very clouds.

"So, what is it that truly allows someone to pass that Fifth Gate?"

Lei Bao answered him without a moment’s hesitation.

"It’s more than just talent."

"More than just levels."

"More than just raw skill."

"What you truly need," he concluded, his voice serious once more, "is a foundation so sturdy it won’t buckle even when heaven itself is pressing down on you."

A sudden quiet settled over the room.

Then, Lei Bao added, almost as an afterthought:

"And preferably a fair bit of luck. Actually, great amounts of it."

Lin Yi, however, chose to ignore that last bit.

He kept his gaze fixed on the distant summit, speaking with a quiet certainty.

"In that case," he said, "The goal hasn’t changed. I need to reach level 250 first and start my ascension."

Lei Bao sparked happily, a cheerful crackle filling the air.

"That’s the spirit, little one."

Then, his tone shifted, a mischievous edge returning.

"Though first," he chuckled, "you’ll need to survive those Zhao family juniors who are likely already outside your door."

Lin Yi turned from the window.

At that precise moment, a loud voice boomed from the courtyard just beyond his room.

"Xu Mu! Come out and receive some guidance!"

A second voice quickly followed.

"Don’t you dare hide behind Elder Yuexin’s name!"

Then a third, louder shout rose into the morning air:

"We simply wish to exchange some pointers!"

Lei Bao burst into a series of delighted, crackling laughs.

"Little one," he chortled, "they sound exceptionally arrogant. I wholeheartedly approve of you defeating them immediately."

Lin Yi’s lips curved into a faint smile.

He adjusted his sleeves, smoothed out the folds of his robe, and his hand naturally went to the hilt of the Thunder Surge Blade.

"Then let them offer whatever guidance they have," he murmured, his voice now a quiet challenge.

He took a deliberate step toward the door.

Outside, the morning’s challenge had already officially begun.
