The Interstellar Federation’s Top Cultivation Academy

. Lanjia is transmigrated into the body of the fake young master of an Imperial Marshal’s family. When the real young master returns, Lanjia is thrown out of the house and exiled to a barren planet to fend for himself. His fake father, the marshal, even demands an apology to the real young master as he lies dying. “Apologize to my son, and I’ll let you leave with some dignity.” What a disastrous start. Unexpectedly, Lanjia is bound to a cultivation academy. From then on, he has an endless supply of cultivation resources and disciples. Lanjia sets up a sect right on the barren planet. Sword Cultivation, Alchemy, Talismans, Formations, Spellcraft, Beast Taming… * Interstellar Academy Tournament An Imperial Military Academy student pilots an SSS-class mecha and looks down on everyone. “What kind of backwater academy is this? They’re still using melee weapons.” A sword-cultivation disciple cleaves through the mecha’s core with a single strike. Standing atop the particle blade, the boy smiles, eyes curved. “You shouldn’t say things that might upset our dean.” Mock Battle Tournament Amid the fireworks of the Zerg Queen’s nest exploding, the senior talisman-cultivation disciple holds a lollipop in her mouth and unfurls a hundred-meter-long scroll. She turns to wink at the StarNet camera. “I just developed this little talisman. Mind if I use your arena for a demolition test?” The stands fall silent. Then, amid the StarNet posts analyzing current events and battles, posts no one in the galaxy can make sense of start popping up one after another: [The sword-cultivation entrance test broke my sword. My instructor said, “If the sword lives, you live. If the sword breaks, you die.” Is it too late to run? Help.] [Failing class post… I studied alchemy at the Cosmos Academy and regret it so much my guts are twisted in knots.] [This is hilarious. The sword-cultivation instructor next door cleaved a ten-thousand-meter-deep ravine with one strike and called it the final exam. Hahahahahaha. Picture attached.] [#AskTheDean Online: Investigation report on a Beast Taming student secretly raising a Zerg Queen’s larva.] Everyone: ???????? Posts and rumors about the Cosmos Academy keep piling up, until someone refuses to believe them: [Livestream post: Traveling to a barren planet to explore the Cosmos Academy, streaming the whole way. I swear on my ancestors that this is real! I’m not a shill!] And so Disciple 1: “Thanks for asking. A maglev train? I haven’t ridden one in ages. I usually fly my sword when I visit people.” Disciple 2: “You’re still using potions to treat mental damage? That’s so outdated, bro. Here, take a pill and you’ll be immune!” Disciple 3: “(Transforms back to their original form) Meow. The dean says I look better on camera like this.” The entire internet goes wild. Major factions all extend an olive branch to the Cosmos Academy. When a coup breaks out in the Empire, the disgraced Imperial Marshal seeks the Cosmos Academy dean’s help. But can someone explain why the person sitting on the dais is the fake son he scorned and exiled? And why are the disciples from every department, feared throughout the galaxy, all willingly devoted to him? The Imperial officials who once kicked him while he was down: What is going on here?! Lanjia: “Sorry, I don’t know you.” Reader’s Guide: 1. The protagonist is cold to outsiders but warm to those close to him. He’s very partial and fiercely protective of his own. 2. The protagonist is adored by everyone, with all kinds of one-sided crushes. His students will always gather around him, unconditionally and without question, no matter what. He is the heart of the academy and its students. 3. The protagonist is gentle, not a lone wolf, not an idiot who just goes around face-slapping people, and not an overpowered, arrogant hero. He has principles and boundaries. If you’re still feeling frustrated after a plot arc ends, I recommend dropping the novel. The author’s skill is limited, so apologies in advance. 4. This isn’t a traditional kingdom-building story. The plot comes first, and the slow-paced development serves the story. 5. The academy is built from scratch. Early on, there will be episodes about exploring other planets to earn money; later, the story will focus more on developing the academy and the barren planet. 6. Cultivation levels in this novel, in order: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Great Ascension, Void Refinement, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Encompassment Coming soon: My Husbands in Two Timelines Have Both Turned Dark Synopsis: Song Minglu has been married for three years, living like a beautiful empty shell. His husband is cold and distant, and their once-a-month married life feels like an act of charity. Everyone says Song Minglu loves him so desperately that he’s like a dog begging for affection with its tail wagging. Then one day, Song Minglu wakes up in his college dorm room, ten years in the past. In the opposite bed is a dazzling, confident young man: a younger version of Ji Jingwen, his future husband. He’s nothing like the Ji Jingwen Song Minglu knows, the cold, aloof man whose eyes hold nothing but impatience and deep-seated gloom. Song Minglu smiles. If you can’t force a melon to be sweet, then… he’ll force another melon instead. He deliberately keeps his distance, yet never quite lets Ji Jingwen go. Ji Jingwen brings him breakfast, and he turns it down coldly. Ji Jingwen gets hurt playing ball, and he secretly brings him medicine. Ji Jingwen pins him down and confesses, and he lowers his gaze with a faint smile. “...Don’t joke around.” The young Ji Jingwen pursues him like a madman, but Song Minglu only toys with him, nonchalantly dangling the bait like a fish that’s all too willing to take it. Until one night, he returns to the present His husband, who has always been cold to him, looks at Song Minglu sprawled across the bed, face flushed and body covered in kiss marks. The man who almost never shows any emotion in front of him approaches, suppressing his rage, and turns his face toward him. “Who?” Song Minglu looks up with a wickedly pleased smile. “Ji Jingwen. He loves me.” That night, he’s worked over until he’s nearly half-dead. The next day, he wakes up in the bed from ten years ago and finds his hands bound tightly. The young Ji Jingwen gently touches the marks on Song Minglu’s body that he didn’t leave, then furrows his brows as tears fall from his eyes. “Who is he?” [An outwardly cold and abstinent yet secretly obsessive, jealous top × a brooding, alluring bottom who knows how to reel people in] [Reader’s Guide] 1. The bottom is flawed: possessive, desperately starved for love, and prone to self-destruction. 2. The story takes place across two timelines. The two tops are the same person, but their personalities are completely different. 3. The two tops will hate each other so much they go crazy. The timelines will run in parallel later on, and the top can travel between them, with plenty of jealousy-fueled showdowns. 4. The setting serves the plot. Happy ending. .
