Chapter 904: 289: Soul Power’s First Transformation, Visitors Arrive

Zhang Lingfeng and Hei Zhou parted on bad terms. Qiankunzi and Duan Heming stayed behind to entertain Hei Zhou.

Tianshui Master came to enlighten Zhang Lingfeng.

"The Upper Alliance often disappoints in many matters. Honestly, I also dislike the Upper Alliance greatly, but regardless, one must not bear grudges against one’s own strength.

I see that Senior Hei Zhou intends to guide your cultivation, hoping to help your soul power transform. Once your soul power undergoes transformation like my master’s, it won’t be so easy for Shen Rufeng to deal with you.

Currently, Shen Rufeng has placed a bounty of one billion spirit stones and a favor in the Shadow Alliance, attracting many stellar wanderers. Even intermediate star realm experts have descended, possessing great divine techniques, not easy to contend with."

"I can compromise with the Alliance, but I will not allow Black Water Star Domain life to be trapped again by law constraints. If, after giving everything, the final result is the same as now, then why bother trying to change it all?"

Zhang Lingfeng’s attitude was resolute.

"What you said earlier was correct. The so-called Alliance is just a larger community of interests. The Upper Alliance is like this, and the Black Water Star Domain Alliance is like this too.

But isn’t this the Life Law?

Even if you can single-handedly break Shen Rufeng’s law, without the Upper Alliance’s help, wouldn’t Black Water Star Domain life be caught in your laws?"

Tianshui Master asked.

"No."

Zhang Lingfeng said firmly and without hesitation, "I can absorb the Qi Fortune of Black Water Star Domain life, and I can also grant Black Water Star Domain life greater Qi Fortune and life force. Just like Ancient Blue Star, I can control the laws here and also bestow life force on Ancient Blue Star’s beings. They will only become stronger because of me, and similarly, I will become stronger because of them. We have a mutually beneficial relationship, and I hope I can have the same with Black Water Star Domain life in the future."

"Are you not afraid that one day someone will replace you?"

Tianshui Master asked seriously.

"Everything is fate. Every life has its own laws. If in the future, someone in Black Water Star Domain can indeed provide more life force and Qi Fortune than me to Black Water Star Domain life, I am willing to accept that. Perhaps this is the balance of the Heavenly Dao, whether it is me or Shen Rufeng, eventually a stronger life will break the laws we’ve established.

Perhaps that is the Heavenly Calamity you once spoke of.

I am Shen Rufeng’s calamity, and likewise, there will be other lives that become my calamity in the future."

Zhang Lingfeng’s thoughts were clear. Because of his understanding of Ancient Blue Star laws and mastery of Life Dao, he understood the significance of Life Law more than Tianshui Master, Qiankunzi, or even Hei Zhou.

Life is the origin of all powers.

Suppression and deprivation of every strand of life fortune may increase strength dramatically in the short term, but in the long run, this law will inevitably be broken by others.

Possibly causing backlash.

Previously, Zhang Lingfeng did not understand why Linley Baruch did not leave laws in Yulan Star Realm beneficial to himself, but instead left only a law ensuring that the family soul does not dissipate upon death, never considering to deprive others of Qi Fortune and life force.

This is not because Linley Baruch is so great and benevolent.

But because he understands the meaning of life.

Life is the origin of all power, suppressing life will only bring unimaginable consequences for oneself, especially when all life is suppressed to the ultimate, that backlash force will be incalculable, even Linley Baruch cannot bear it.

This is the realization formed by Zhang Lingfeng after mastering Life Dao and understanding life’s origin. He is clear that Tianshui Master, Qiankunzi, Duan Heming, and Bai Xinhe won’t understand this idea for now.

Also clear that everyone wanting to break Shen Rufeng’s laws has selfish motives.

He understands that he too had selfish motives, wanting to dominate the entire Black Water Star Domain’s life fortune, continuously increasing his cultivation, and successfully overcoming calamities in the future.

People are selfish.

Zhang Lingfeng is no exception.

This moment of change in thought is entirely sourced from the new realization of Life Dao, nothing more.

"This..."

Tianshui Master fell into contemplation.

After a while, he said, "Perhaps what you say is correct, we are all too selfish. But cultivation is inherently an act against heaven. Initially, we seize various cultivation resources, then we grasp our own law power, and later we condense divine techniques from Heaven and Earth Laws, each of which involves depriving others of Qi Fortune.

We penetrate power into the Mother Star laws, also to possess Mother Star Law power. Once we achieve full control over the Mother Star Law, no one can penetrate power into the Mother Star laws.

No one can shake our status, isn’t this a kind of deprivation?

When those later-born lives wish to penetrate power into the Mother Star laws, what should they do?"

Tianshui Master attempted to persuade Zhang Lingfeng.

Urging Zhang Lingfeng to cooperate with the Upper Alliance.

"Heavenly Dao balance!"

Zhang Lingfeng continued, "I comprehend the Ancient Blue Star laws, which are the Heavenly Dao of Ancient Blue Star life, an unsolvable matter. Yet as the Heavenly Dao, one must understand the meaning of life. The Heavenly Dao can be cruel but also benevolent, avoiding the deprivation of life fortune for the star life’s beings under my control is my responsibility.

As for whether someone will break my Heavenly Dao balance in the future and make me lose the control over Ancient Blue Star laws, that belongs to my Heavenly Dao, and then I will be like other lives, undergoing the Heavenly Dao balance test.
