The Lin family of Qingyang City takes pride in the Qi Gathering Realm and reveres Spiritual Roots.
Though Lin Chen is of the main bloodline, ever since he was twelve he has borne the shameful label of “Qingyang's crippled meridians.” His dantian is as lifeless as dead ash, unable to gather spiritual energy. No matter how hard he cultivates, he remains trapped in the mire of being “unranked,” a laughingstock for the clan. Lin Hao, the main-line son of the second branch, sees him as a thorn in his side. Using the clan tournament as an excuse, he humiliates Lin Chen in public, intent on crushing him into the dirt once and for all.
Only when his father's dying words, the jade token to the “Scripture Pavilion” secretly entrusted to him by the Grand Elder, and the strange stirrings of the warm ancient jade at his neck come together does a crack appear in fate.
In the forbidden grounds of Broken Dragon Cliff, the jade pendant suddenly grows hot, guiding him into the “Starfall Divine Palace,” sealed away for a hundred years. A hoarse voice sounds in his sea of consciousness: “Your father was my nominal disciple. The ‘dead aura’ inside you is actually ancient starforce. Choose the Star-Attracting Art and live as a good-for-nothing, or cultivate the Starfall Art and let the myriad worlds witness crippled meridians defying heaven?”
With Lin Hao's taunts still ringing in his ears and the Lin family's contempt yet to fade, Lin Chen grips the burning jade pendant and sets out on the path to his rise, lit by starlight.
His crippled meridians awaken, and starforce pours into his body. Those who once looked down on him will eventually kneel at his feet. The once-unattainable Origin Condensation Realm and Deity Transformation Stage will be nothing but stepping stones on his starbound path.
Yet behind the secrets of the Starfall Divine Palace, his father's true identity, and the starforce powerful enough to shake the continent lies an even deeper game. This time, he is no longer a pawn at the mercy of others, but the Star Lord who moves the pieces himself!
Good-looking [admiration] 😘 😜
