Chapter 855: 264: Soul Power Avatar, Golden Core Shattered

Zhang Lingfeng finally realized the severity of the situation. The reason he was currently safe and able to cultivate at ease in the Alliance Camp was primarily due to the protection of the three Celestial Water Masters, especially Celestial Water Master, whose penetration of Titan Star’s laws had surpassed fifty percent.

Even strong figures from the Jade Sun Palace, who mastered the divine secret skill of blending into the laws, dared not easily enter Titan Star to cause a ruckus.

Once Celestial Water Master left, Titan Star would be as if it had lost its defense.

Those who wanted to kill him would emerge one after another, and Mengba might even take desperate risks. In general, the situation was very serious.

"Our journey back and forth could take up to a month and a half, or as short as twenty days. I have already left various restrictions and arrays in the cave mansion and invited several friends over.

No matter what happens, before our return, do not step out of the cave mansion."

Soon, under the escort of the three Celestial Water Masters, Zhang Lingfeng left the Alliance Camp and arrived at Celestial Water City, into a hidden underground refuge within the Celestial Master Mansion, obscured by arrays and restrictions.

Zhang Lingfeng glanced at the surrounding arrays.

He found that these arrays could actually mobilize law power, forming an effective defense that could prevent penetration by others and even soul power detection.

"The upper-level reviewers are already on their way here and should arrive in a few days. By then, they will conduct a comprehensive examination and assessment of you. You must exert yourself fully and hide nothing.

As long as you capture the attention of the Upper Alliance, even if the Shen Family wants to destroy you, they will have to restrain themselves."

Celestial Water Master advised.

"Okay."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

"Apart from the three of us, do not easily trust anyone, even other people in the Celestial Master Mansion, and even if our three friends want you to leave the cave mansion, do not pay attention to them."

Duan Heming said.

Beside Zhang Lingfeng, a Dao Seed expert must be stationed.

"I understand."

Zhang Lingfeng was aware that in the face of the enormous resource subsidies from the Shen Family and the Duan Family, even the Dao heart of a Dao Seed expert might not be able to hold firm.

If the Shen Family was determined to kill him at any cost, they could directly instigate Dao Seed experts or Soul Masters from the Black Water Star Realm to kill him.

It’s just that things have yet to reach that point.

However, as news of his becoming a Soul Master reached the Shen Family, their tactics would undoubtedly escalate. To eliminate him once and for all, they might entice a Dao Seed expert to betray the Black Water Star Realm, which was entirely possible.

Therefore, Zhang Lingfeng kept Duan Heming’s words in mind.

Before the three Celestial Water Masters returned, he could not trust anyone’s words.

But he thought of the Alliance examiners.

So he said, "What about the examiners?"

"This..."

The three were momentarily at a loss on how to discern.

The Shen Family was immensely powerful, capable of compelling the Upper Alliance to issue them an ultimatum, forcing them to leave the Black Water Star Realm. It seemed like they were being given an opportunity, but in reality, it was the Shen Family or the Duan Family creating an opportunity to destroy Zhang Lingfeng.

So the Upper Alliance could not be trusted entirely either.

"There are principled people within the Alliance. Although the Shen Family is formidable, they dare not act recklessly in front of the Upper Alliance, so even if someone in the Upper Alliance is bribed by the Shen Family, they would only manipulate during the examination. When taking the assessment, stay alert and trust no one lightly."

Celestial Water Master said.

"Among this batch of examiners, there is a strong figure named Mao Shusheng, who previously had conflicts with the Shen Family and comes from the Black Water Star Realm. In this assessment, he is one of those in charge. If you encounter any problems, you can seek his help."

Duan Heming said.

"Okay."

Zhang Lingfeng silently noted it.

Soon the three Celestial Water Masters left the Celestial Master Mansion, used a teleportation array to leave Titan Star, and then entered the Interstellar Transfer Station to report at the Upper Alliance office.

Zhang Lingfeng, following their instructions, remained in the hidden underground refuge in the Celestial Master Mansion, heavily guarded, where even Dao Seed experts could not break the defense.

To be honest, with soul power reaching the Great Success level, along with each power of the Five Elements Laws reaching the Eighth Layer, and growing at a speed of 12.5 per day, Zhang Lingfeng was not overly worried about suffering losses when facing the examination by the upper-level Alliance examiners.

As for those Dao Seed experts.

They would need to breach this refuge first.

The only regret for Zhang Lingfeng was that after the departure of the three Celestial Water Masters, no one could guide him in cultivation, preventing him from gaining tens of thousands of Coasting Along Value from them daily.

Fortunately, the refuge constructed by Celestial Water Master was inherently designed for secluded cultivation, and many things within the refuge, including arrays, were created for cultivation.

Staying in such a place, not cultivating well but instead lying down reading novels or letting his imagination run wild, was to embody Coasting Along to the fullest and could earn a considerable amount of Coasting Along Value.

The next day, Zhang Lingfeng hurriedly checked the change in Coasting Along Value and the speed of soul power growth.

Coasting Along Value: 800021

Soul Power: 71.45/100

Zhang Lingfeng was pleasantly surprised to find that in this uniquely blessed refuge, lying idle each day could earn him eight hundred thousand Coasting Along Value, even more than being taught cultivation by the three Celestial Water Masters in turns.

He couldn’t help but think that if he had stayed here from the beginning and had been taught by the three Celestial Water Masters here, his Coasting Along Value might have increased by as much as two million per day.

If not for the three Celestial Water Masters leaving the Black Water Star Realm, worried for his safety, even with the best relationships, Celestial Water Master would not have easily lent the refuge for Zhang Lingfeng’s use.
