### **Chapter 1541 — The Habit Yang Lin Never Lost**
The night beneath the Ancient Starfall Spirit Tree remained peaceful—
Silver leaves drifting quietly through the air—
Then suddenly—
Yang Lin stood up.
Xue Yao looked toward him.
"Leaving?"
Yang Lin nodded.
"I'm going to sleep."
Silence.
Xue Yao blinked.
"Sleep?"
Her expression became genuinely confused.
For cultivators at their level—
Sleep had long become unnecessary.
Many Heavenly Emperors could remain awake for tens of thousands of years.
Yet Yang Lin simply nodded.
"Yes."
"It's a habit."
"I was born on Earth."
"So naturally I'm used to its system."

### **Chapter 1542 — What Is Earth?**
Xue Yao looked puzzled.
"Earth?"
She had never heard such a place.
"What is Earth?"
Yang Lin smiled slightly.
"The world where I was born."
"The outerworld."
"The place before I entered cultivation."
Xue Yao listened quietly.
Then Yang Lin looked toward the stars.
"Earth doesn't have immortal qi."
"No cultivation sects."
"No Heavenly Emperors."
"No Immortal Sovereigns."
"No flying swords."
"No floating mountains."
Xue Yao's eyes widened slightly.
Then how did people live?
---
### **Chapter 1543 — The Blue Planet**
Yang Lin looked upward.
"Earth is a beautiful place."
"A blue planet."
"Covered with oceans."
"Forests."
"Mountains."
"Cities."
"Countless cultures."
"Countless people."
His voice became calmer.
"People live short lives there."
"Most never even reach a hundred years."
Yet strangely—
His expression became softer.
"As mortals."
"They laugh."
"They cry."
"They dream."
"They fall in love."
"They build homes."
"They protect their families."

### **Chapter 1544 — The Thing Earth Gave Him**
The moonlight reflected within Yang Lin's eyes.
Then he spoke again.
"Earth gave me a country."
"It gave me parents."
"It gave me childhood."
"It gave me memories."
His voice remained calm.
Yet something within those words carried unusual weight.
Even Xue Yao became silent.
Because she could feel it.
Yang Lin genuinely treasured that world.
Far more than countless immortals treasured their own realms.
---
### **Chapter 1545 — A Future Journey**
After a long silence—
Yang Lin suddenly said—
"For us to enter the World of Cultivation properly..."
"We'll pass through the outerworld."
Xue Yao looked toward him.
Then Yang Lin smiled slightly.
"It's not necessary."
"But I want to see my planet again."
"Even if only briefly."
"Perhaps after one hundred trillion years."
"Or a small infinity of years."
"Or however long it's been."
Then he laughed softly.
"I want to thank it."
"For giving me a home."
---
### **Chapter 1546 — Xue Yao's Silence**
Xue Yao didn't answer immediately.
Instead—
She quietly looked at him.
Her cold eyes softened slightly.
Because for someone as powerful as Yang Lin—
To still remember his birthplace—
To still remember his parents—
To still remember ordinary mortal life—
Was strangely touching.
Finally—
She nodded.
"I understand."
For the first time—
She felt she understood Yang Lin a little more.
---
### **Chapter 1547 — Morning Arrives**
Without either noticing—
The stars gradually faded.
The horizon brightened.
Morning arrived.
Golden sunlight illuminated the Heaven Cutter Sect.
Then Yang Lin suddenly stretched lazily.
"Within half a year."
"Maybe a few more months."
"Let's visit the outerworld."
"Then depart toward the World of Cultivation."
Xue Yao's eyes widened slightly.
A journey with Yang Lin?
To his birthplace?
For some reason—
A strange anticipation appeared within her heart.
Though her face remained mostly calm.
Mostly.
---
### **Chapter 1548 — Not Sleeping Today**
Then—
Yang Lin suddenly laughed.
"Actually."
"I'm not sleeping today."
Xue Yao blinked.
"You just said you were going to sleep."
Yang Lin shrugged.
"I changed my mind."
For perhaps the first time—
A faint smile appeared on Xue Yao's face.
Very small.
Yet real.
---
### **Chapter 1549 — The Morning Training**
Elsewhere—
The disciples were already training.
FeiFei practiced sword techniques.
Su Qinglan cultivated quietly.
Yue Bingxin stabilized her newly reached Heavenly Emperor Second Stage Realm.
Meanwhile—
Daji lay comfortably beneath a tree.
Completely relaxed.
Not cultivating at all.
Ning Mei immediately pointed at her.
"Why aren't you training?"
Daji lazily opened one eye.
"Why the rush?"
Ning Mei froze.
Then Han Chen pointed toward Daji.
"You tell us."
Daji immediately sat up.
"Why are you blaming me?"
Han Qing sighed.
The usual chaos had begun again.
---
### **Chapter 1550 — Yang Lin's Cooking**
Just then—
A familiar figure appeared.
Yang Lin.
Everyone froze.
Because he had appeared again.
And appeared voluntarily.
Then Yang Lin casually said—
"Let's eat."
Silence.
FeiFei blinked.
"Eat?"
Yang Lin nodded.
"My cooking."
Everyone froze.
Even Xue Yao stopped walking.
Because nobody—
Absolutely nobody—
Had ever seen Yang Lin cook before.
Then—
With a simple wave—
Ingredients appeared.
Fresh vegetables.
Spirit mushrooms.
Seafood.
Tender beast meat.
Rare spices.
Moments later—
An enormous hot pot appeared.
The broth shimmered with golden spirit essence—
Containing Chinese-style herbal flavors—
Star anise—
Ginger—
Garlic—
Spirit peppers—
Alongside fragrant Sri Lankan spices—
Cinnamon—
Cardamom—
Cloves—
Black pepper—
And curry leaves.
Beside it appeared golden fried rice—
Spiced grilled spirit fish—
Lotus root stir fry—
Spirit dumplings—
Coconut-infused spirit curry—
And fragrant flatbread.
The aroma exploded throughout the courtyard.
Everyone stared.
Speechless.
FeiFei swallowed.
Ning Mei's eyes widened.
Han Chen looked shocked.
Su Qinglan actually forgot to remain elegant.
Even Yue Bingxin stared for several seconds.
Meanwhile—
Daji immediately grabbed a seat.
"Cultivation can wait."
"Food first."
The others instantly agreed.
And as laughter slowly spread through the courtyard—
The Heaven Cutter Sect experienced something nobody expected—
Not a breakthrough.
Not a battle.
Not a cultivation lecture.
But a peaceful morning meal—
Prepared personally by Yang Lin himself.
