As they neared the invisible array barrier surrounding the planet, Chu Yang, Zhi Xi, and the other beauties passed through effortlessly, their status as disciples of Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan granting them access. But Wang Jian, being an unknown entity, found himself barred from entry by the formidable barrier.

Zhi Xi's brow furrowed with concern as she realized Wang Jian's predicament. "You stay here, Wang Jian," she instructed, her voice tinged with worry. "I'll go speak to my master and see if I can get you inside."

But Wang Jian simply smiled in response, his eyes twinkling with determination. "Don't trouble yourself, Zhi Xi," he replied calmly. "I'll handle this."

With a sense of curiosity and apprehension, Zhi Xi and the other beauties watched as Wang Jian approached the invisible barrier, his movements deliberate and confident. They knew firsthand the strength of Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's array formations, and attempting to manipulate them was no small feat.

Zhi Xi's heart pounded with anxiety as she watched Wang Jian's bold attempt. "Be careful, Wang Jian," she murmured under her breath, her fingers clenched into fists at her sides.

Meanwhile, Chu Yang's excitement bubbled over as he witnessed Wang Jian's audacious move. 'This is it,' he thought eagerly, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. 'He is really courting death right now!'

Chu Yang's anticipation reached a fever pitch as he imagined the devastating consequences of Wang Jian's actions. He had seen firsthand the deadly results of going against Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's array formations, and he relished the prospect of witnessing Wang Jian's downfall.

But to Chu Yang's dismay, Wang Jian's efforts yielded unexpected results. Instead of facing instant obliteration, Wang Jian's manipulation of the array formations seemed to be working. The invisible barrier wavered and shimmered, its once impenetrable surface fluctuating under Wang Jian's skilled touch.

Zhi Xi's eyes widened in disbelief as she watched the barrier begin to falter, her breath catching in her throat. "He's actually doing it," she whispered in awe, her heart racing with excitement.

The other beauties of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion exchanged stunned glances, their admiration for Wang Jian growing with each passing moment. They had expected him to fail in the face of Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's formidable defenses, but here he was, defying all expectations with his incredible skill.

As the barrier continued to weaken under Wang Jian's manipulation, Chu Yang's frustration mounted with each passing moment. 'This can't be happening,' he thought incredulously, his hands clenched into fists at his sides. 'How is Wang Jian managing to manipulate the array formations?'

But no matter how much Chu Yang willed for Wang Jian's failure, the invisible barrier continued to waver and shift, its once solid surface now trembling under Wang Jian's mastery.

And then, in a dazzling display of skill and determination, the barrier finally gave way, parting before Wang Jian like a curtain drawn aside. Zhi Xi gasped in awe as she watched Wang Jian step through the now-open portal, his smile radiant with triumph.

"He did it," she breathed, her eyes shining with pride. "Wang Jian actually did it."

The other beauties nodded in agreement, their admiration for Wang Jian reaching new heights. They had witnessed firsthand the extent of his talent and determination, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of awe in his presence.

Wang Jian nodded respectfully, his gaze meeting hers without fear. "Yes, Pavilion Mistress," he replied, his voice calm and measured. "I apologize for any inconvenience my actions may have caused."

Zhi Xi, feeling a surge of guilt, stepped forward, eager to take responsibility for her actions. "Master," she began, her voice tinged with apprehension. "I must confess, I was the one who brought Wang Jian here. I wanted him to meet you, but I failed to warn him about the barrier."

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's gaze turned sharp as she fixed her stern gaze on Zhi Xi. "You will be dealt with later for your indiscretion," she admonished firmly. Then, her attention returned to Wang Jian, her curiosity piqued. "Now, young man, tell me—what treasure did you use to breach my barrier?"

Wang Jian met Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's gaze unwaveringly, his expression calm and collected. "No treasure, Pavilion Mistress," he replied honestly. "I simply utilized my knowledge of array formations and the energies at my disposal to manipulate the barrier."

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's eyebrows lifted in surprise at Wang Jian's response. "Impressive," she remarked, a hint of admiration coloring her tone. "It takes great skill and mastery to achieve what you have done."

Zhi Xi's heart swelled with pride at Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's acknowledgment of Wang Jian's abilities. She had known from the moment she met him that Wang Jian was no ordinary cultivator, but seeing Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's reaction only confirmed her belief.

Meanwhile, Chu Yang watched the exchange with a mixture of fascination and envy. He had always prided himself on his own abilities, but seeing Wang Jian effortlessly command Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's respect filled him with a sense of inadequacy.

Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's piercing gaze fell upon Wang Jian as she inquired, "Why did you come here?"

Wang Jian's response was delivered with casual confidence, his demeanor unruffled. "I came here to discuss and exchange insights on the laws of array formations with you and exchange my insights on the laws of alchemy with the Third Elder of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion."

The coldness in Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's tone was palpable as she cautioned, "Discussing the laws of array formations and alchemy? You seem to be biting off more than you can chew, young man. Such arrogance at your age is unbecoming."

But Wang Jian remained unperturbed, his composure unwavering. "It all depends on my capability," he countered calmly. "If I can prove my ability, then it's confidence. If not, then it's arrogance. Perhaps you should test me before passing judgment, Pavilion Mistress."

Despite the tension hanging in the air, Wang Jian's steady gaze never wavered as he awaited Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's response. He was prepared to face whatever judgment she deemed fit, his confidence unwavering.

After a thoughtful pause, Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan finally relented, her tone carrying a note of finality. "Very well," she conceded. "You have proven yourself to be a worthy individual, Wang Jian. You may remain within the boundaries of my star cluster for the time being."

Zhi Xi's eyes widened in astonishment at Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's unexpected leniency. She had anticipated harsh punishment for their trespass, but Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's decision left her pleasantly surprised.

Then, as Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan turned her attention to Zhi Xi and Chu Yang, she issued her final command. "Take Wang Jian to the guest chamber and let him rest," she instructed, her tone firm.

With Pavilion Mistress Cui Lan's directive given, Zhi Xi and Chu Yang sprang into action, leading Wang Jian towards the guest chamber. Despite the gravity of the situation, there was an undeniable sense of relief in the air as they made their way through the hallowed halls of the Heavenly Jade Pavilion.

As they reached the guest chamber, Zhi Xi turned to Wang Jian with a grateful smile. "You handled that situation with remarkable poise," she remarked, her admiration evident in her voice.

Wang Jian returned her smile with a nod of appreciation. "Thank you," he replied graciously. "It was a test of diplomacy, but I'm glad it ended well."
