Dean Sun Furu had reached the Seven-Star (late-stage) peak many years ago. Over time, the True Qi she could cultivate had become increasingly scarce, and progress had grown ever more difficult. For the past twenty years or so, she had hoped to reach the Eight-Star stage but could never find the right path—a struggle shared even by her brother-in-law, Yan Fulai. She had eventually decided to let it go, reasoning that the Seven-Star peak was perfectly adequate and that risking a cultivation-induced illness for the sake of more power would be counterproductive. Thus, her mindset had gradually relaxed.
However, this did not mean she lacked a longing for the Eight-Star stage. It was a realm every cultivator yearned for; everyone hoped to ascend to the next level. Yet, on this day, as if it were a simple, effortless matter, a young handyman in his early twenties had provided guidance for two hours, and she had attained the Eight-Star level.
Dean Sun asked in bewilderment, "You are only at the Seven-Star level yourself, so how could you possibly know the method for ascending to the Eight-Star stage?"
