Starvein Heavenly Venerable
On the Tianyuan Continent, spiritual roots reign supreme, and those without them are treated like ants. Lin Feng, a hunter's son, is born with a “Leaking Innate Body.” His dantian leaks like sand through a sieve, leaving his path to cultivation cut off. Then one night, the ancestral jade pendant glows with starlight, and in his rain-leaking wooden hut, he witnesses the stars in the Milky Way flowing backward.
While his peers obsess over their dantians and qi seas, Lin Feng watches the stars from mountaintops, draws star charts with the juice of starlight grass, and nourishes his bloodline with meteorite-iron solution. His self-created technique, Nine Revolutions of the Starvein, uses the stars as its guide, his bloodline as its bridge, and his meridians as its formation. Each breakthrough brings forth a constellation-shaped birthmark, from the intertwined bands of Pisces to the Mobius loop of Aquarius. Within the structure of a Klein bottle, he remakes the flow of energy.
At the Qingyan City Spiritual Cultivation Tournament, he withstands a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root despite having no spiritual root of his own. Under the moonlight, stardust markings flow across him like the Milky Way. While traditional cultivators lose themselves in cultivating with spirit stones, Lin Feng steals the source of the stars, predicts battles by tracing celestial orbits, counters instant spells with dynamic star formations, and searches for the secrets of an ancient Astral Palace within a shattered armillary star globe.
Yet every revolution of his technique subjects him to the agony of a stellar explosion, and after the seventh, heavenly punishment is inevitable. The Star Curse on Leng Xuan, young master of the Heaven's Secrets Pavilion; the cracks in the seal at Starfall Village; the crisis threatening the Astral Palace in the depths of the universe: layer upon layer of mysteries push Lin Feng to the heart of the storm. He grasps the true meaning of star arts through the forbidden illustrations in the Jade Maiden's Heart Sutra, understands stellar devouring beneath the fangs of blood-eyed bats, and reverses fate within the city lord's grand star formation.
When the continent faces an invasion by the chaotic shadows, Lin Feng stands beneath the starry sky. The supernova-shaped birthmark on his neck resonates with the cosmic orbits. With a mortal body, he ignites the Milky Way
