Infinite leveling in cultivation world

Tian Jue stepped out of the Myriad Techniques Tower, his arms filled with scrolls, and a fire burning in his chest—not from ambition alone, but from recognition.

Even in a completely different world, the dao leaves clues…

The sunlight of Shenxian Sect's inner court bathed him as he descended the spiral steps. With each step, he felt the weight of what he had just acquired settle in his heart.

The Five Elements Scripture, an ancient and clearly incomplete cultivation technique, but its structure reminded him of the foundational systems he once taught. More importantly, it provided a stable base for multi-elemental cultivation—a near-impossible feat in his previous life.

The Star Refining Physique, which mirrored the Ancient God Sutra—a forbidden and almost mythical body cultivation method. With his Void Rending Bone Sutra as a base, Tian Jue was confident he could reconstruct or even elevate the lost technique.

The sect may not realize what they hold… but I will.

As he walked back toward the outer court, a few inner disciples glanced his way. His distinctive rising dragon robe pattern did not go unnoticed. Whispers followed him like shadows.

Meanwhile, in the outer sect…

The White Tiger youth stood by a bamboo grove, fists clenched. His claws slightly extended, scratching the jade floor.

"Why should a human brat with no cultivation background be granted inner court privileges?" he growled.

A few beastkin outer disciples tried to calm him, but his pride burned hotter than reason. In the beast territory of Southern Dongfang Province, he was a rising star, his bloodline tied to a revered tiger lineage—an imperial-rank physique in itself.

"I'll wait. Let's see how long he can shine."

Back at the Outer Disciple Courtyard, Tian Jue arrived with the elder, who handed him a jade plaque.

"This is your contribution token. It tracks missions, points, and achievements within the sect," said Elder Lin. "You'll also find your courtyard key engraved inside."

Tian Jue received it silently and bowed.

"There's one more thing," Elder Lin said, turning slightly serious. "Your robe pattern and access privileges are bound to attract both favor… and envy. Cultivate carefully. Lay low when you must."

Tian Jue smiled faintly. "I've no interest in rising quickly. I just want to grow steady roots."

Elder Lin chuckled. "That's how you'll rise the farthest."

With that, Tian Jue was led to his personal courtyard. It was modest by inner sect standards, but among outer disciples, it was far above norm—private, quiet, and nestled by a spiritual herb slope. The qi here was nearly double the standard.

He stepped inside, locking the gate behind him, and finally exhaled deeply.

He laid out the scrolls on the bamboo table.

Let's begin with the Star Refining Physique…

For the next few hours, he compared the two techniques, cross-referencing diagrams, qi paths, and marrow-cleansing flows. As expected, the Star Refining Physique lacked a few crucial transitions between the muscle refinement stage and the bone tempering phase.

But Tian Jue's knowledge from his past life filled those gaps almost naturally.

And then, he merged it with the Void Rending Bone Sutra—his old body cultivation method. Something began to click. The two techniques weren't merely compatible… they resonated.

Like stars being mapped to bones, a new path unfolded in his mind:

Tempering qi through starlight absorption,

Merging marrow with celestial essence,

Unlocking bodily resonance with heavenly bodies, using void energy to crush impurities.

This... This might just be the foundation of a body that could stand equal to the Ancient Gods themselves.

As moonlight poured over his rooftop tiles, Tian Jue entered deep meditation, eyes closed, breathing steady. He sat shirtless, legs crossed, the scrolls surrounding him like a small formation.

He began the first starlight refinement cycle, drawing in starlight from above.

Faint white motes descended from the heavens, piercing his skin like needles. Painful. Cold. Unrelenting.

He bit his lip, blood trickling—but he didn't waver.

This is nothing compared to what I endured before.

His bones began to ache. Muscles quivered. But with each breath, a silver radiance began to glow faintly beneath his skin.

The moment he initiated the technique, a clear chime rang out in his mind.

> Ding! You have activated a new body refinement method: Star Void Scripture (Heaven Rank).

+3 Intelligence +5 Wisdom

He stared at the floating panel, eyes narrowing slightly.

> A Heaven-rank technique gives this many stat points... What if I create one myself? No—what if I create something even stronger?

In the Myriad Techniques Tower, he had already begun to understand the classification system: Mortal, Earth, Heaven, and Divine.

He had only integrated about one-third of the Star Refining Physique, yet the system had already upgraded it to Heaven Rank and renamed it.

> If I manage to fully refine it—combine it with the Void Rending Bone Sutra, add stability techniques, maybe even link it to ancient runes...

A flicker of ambition ignited in his eyes.

> ...then it might evolve into a Divine Rank scripture.

That night, he cultivated deep into the darkness, his bones groaning under the pressure of the transformation. But his heart was alight—no longer just determined to grow strong...

But to build a legacy.
