As consciousness delved deeper, his spiritual world unfolded slowly, like an endless star map.
Complex star track runes naturally formed in the consciousness space, like a precise cosmic model.
Each node emitted a faint and steady glow, connecting with each other to form a complete and harmonious whole.
This is the core structure of the "Star Eater’s Ravings." After long-term cultivation, Ron could easily construct this complex model and maintain its stable operation.
Compared to its initial fragile and shaky state, the current rune structure was solid and flexible, accommodating more spiritual power flow.
His spiritual power flowed along the rune trajectories, like streams in a galaxy, forming a perfect cycle.
Each cycle brought him a deeper understanding of the universe and the essence of spiritual power, as if each loop was a small death and rebirth of thought.
Gradually, Ron felt his consciousness drifting away from the physical body, entering a broader space.
Surrounding him was the boundless cosmic starry sky, countless stars twinkling in the darkness.
They were no longer mere points of light, but living entities, each containing unique energy and information, as if myriad eyes were watching him, the intruder.
This wonderful experience was not the first time, but each time brought new sensations and insights.
The appearance of the starry sky seemed subtly different each time, like a living entity constantly changing, rather than a static backdrop.
"Today’s meditation state is very stable."
Ron silently recited in his heart, continuing to focus on the guidance and circulation of spiritual power.
According to past experience, he needed to persist in such deep meditation for a sufficient amount of time.
Time became extraordinarily slow and exceptionally long during meditation.
Ron did not know how much time had passed, perhaps minutes, perhaps hours.
In this state of deep meditation, the concept of time became extremely ambiguous, even completely disappearing.
He could only feel the flow and accumulation of spiritual power, that feeling was like a sponge slowly soaking up water, gradually becoming heavy and full.

As long as a few more experience points were accumulated, he could complete the first stage of "Star Eater’s Ravings" cultivation and officially enter the realm of the Advanced Apprentice.
He concentrated even more, throwing himself wholly into meditation.
The flow of spiritual power along the rune trajectories accelerated, like water about to boil.
As spiritual power continued to accumulate, his sea of consciousness gradually became turbulent.
It was as if something was about to break through the surface.
That feeling was both exhilarating and terrifying, like standing on the edge of a cliff, fearing the fall yet yearning to fly.

As the numbers approached the critical point, the stars in the surrounding starry sky seemed brighter.
Their light was no longer just a static flicker, but carried a certain rhythm, as if conveying some message to him.
It was an ancient and mysterious language, not expressed through sound, but through the interplay of light and shadow.

[Current Progress: "Star Eater’s Ravings" (Proficient 199/300)]
The surge of spiritual power grew more intense, Ron felt an unprecedented pressure, as if the entire universe was compressing him, trying to crush him to dust.
The whole starry sky seemed to come alive, filled with an indescribable vitality.
The light of the stars flickered rapidly, like some mysterious drumbeats, vibrating Ron’s consciousness core.
This was the most dangerous yet precious part of the "Star Eater’s Ravings" — the "Apex" trait had been triggered.
[Inspiration has been triggered, please remain extremely cautious!]
The once orderly stars were suddenly stirred by an invisible giant hand, beginning to spin and move violently, forming a massive whirlpool.
Ron’s consciousness was drawn to this whirlpool, unconsciously drifting towards its depths.
The center of the whirlpool was a deep darkness, darker than the surrounding cosmos, as if it could devour all light.
The darkness suddenly moved, like the eyelids of some colossal creature lifting slowly.
A gigantic, indescribable "eye" opened within the darkness, staring straight at Ron.
It was not an eye understood by human concepts, more like an idea, a phenomenon, a high-dimensional entity.
It had no specific form, yet it emanated an overwhelming presence.
Unlike usual, this time the "eye" seemed truly to be looking at him, rather than aimlessly scanning.
That gaze contained an indescribable emotion, not anger, not curiosity, not indifference...
But a kind of... bewilderment?
