Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

I just don’t know if my elder brother knows where the White Tiger Star Realm is. That elder told me that as long as I can enter the White Tiger Star Realm, I will naturally find him and gain a greater opportunity."

"You are a blessed man, it seems Shen Rufeng’s time is up."

Qin Tiancang sighed.

Zhang Lingfeng’s words were half-truths. Both were divine souls arriving in the virtual world, and although Qin Tiancang could form an overwhelming pressure, forcing Zhang Lingfeng to speak according to his will,

he could not make Zhang Lingfeng lose all his thoughts.

He could only sense that most of what Zhang Lingfeng said was true.

"With elder brother watching over me, I can boldly oppose Shen Rufeng."

Zhang Lingfeng laughed.

"Is your realization of the Life Dao also related to that elder’s guidance?"

Qin Tiancang asked again.

"Yes, without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today."

Zhang Lingfeng replied truthfully.

If it weren’t for the elder concealing him from Mengba’s search, he would have long been slain by Mengba.

So there was nothing wrong with that statement.

Qin Tiancang also noticed Zhang Lingfeng wasn’t lying, and he couldn’t help but feel even more shocked, pondering secretly: "To be able to transcend star domains and descend means he’s not constrained by the Heavenly Dao of Basic Star Domains and can act as he wishes in them.

And if he can evade the Upper Alliance’s pursuit, his power surely surpasses mine and Shen Rufeng’s.

Perhaps he and Zhang Lingfeng have some sort of agreement, allowing Zhang Lingfeng to unhesitatingly refuse to join me and Shen Rufeng.

An enormous opportunity.

Could it be referring to ascending to the Upper World, where the White Tiger Star Realm doesn’t exist among Basic, Intermediate, or even Advanced Star Realms, but is rather a star domain in the Upper World?

A powerhouse descending from a higher world level, perhaps even the Heavenly Dao of an Advanced Star Realm can’t restrain him."

Qin Tiancang speculated endlessly.

"Since we are sworn brothers, living and dying together, we’ll ride the winds and waves. I will fully guide your cultivation, helping you penetrate your power into the Black Water Star Realm Law, which will help you break Shen Rufeng’s Law Power and, in the future, help you find the White Tiger Star Realm and meet that elder."

Qin Tiancang said with firm determination.

"Thank you, elder brother. Do you not know where the White Tiger Star Realm is either?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked in confusion.

"I will help you investigate it. For now, your priority should be penetrating your power into the Black Water Star Realm Law; let’s worry about finding the White Tiger Star Realm later."

Qin Tiancang displayed a nonchalant attitude, as if he didn’t expect to gain any benefit from Zhang Lingfeng.

"Alright, everything will follow elder brother’s arrangement."

Zhang Lingfeng agreed with this intention.

"I am the leader of the Upper Alliance and can unlock the Demon Realm System permissions. Through its demonstration, I will let you feel how to penetrate your power into the Black Water Star Realm by leveraging the Ancient Blue Star Law Power.

But I need to remind you beforehand, this type of demonstration is most effective the first time, and its efficacy declines subsequently, eventually producing no effect at all.

So you must regard it with utmost seriousness, without any frivolity; don’t rely on your own innate talents.

Let me put it this way: to penetrate your power into the Black Water Star Realm, you must first confront Shen Rufeng’s Law Power, and only after successfully contesting it can your power be penetrated into it.

Thus, the difficulty of penetrating the power into the Black Water Star Realm Law is immeasurably greater than realizing the Ancient Blue Star Law.

You can only cultivate the ability to break Shen Rufeng’s Law Power by doing so. Do you understand?"

Qin Tiancang said with a solemn face.

"Understood."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded heavily.

Then the view shifted.

Qin Tiancang manipulated the Demon Realm System, leading Zhang Lingfeng into a room.

Zhang Lingfeng once again arrived at a vast starry sky.

To be precise, the environment simulated now was the Black Water Star Realm—he stood in the sky of the Ancient Blue Star. From this perspective, he could see the Ancient Blue Star’s laws and the Life Force fluctuations,

even Shen Rufeng’s Law Power.

It seemed that everything he saw now truly existed and was not a scene simulated by the Demon Realm System.

Zhang Lingfeng was shocked, not expecting the Demon Realm System to be this advanced; it not only could simulate laws but also Life Force, as if it included the entire Black Water Star Realm.

It allowed Zhang Lingfeng to feel as if he was indeed in the stage of penetrating his power into the Black Water Star Realm.

"Should I completely embrace the idea of ’Coast Along’ and refuse this gift of opportunity?"

"Coast Along is about not competing or struggling, not stupidly watching opportunities vanish before your eyes."

Zhang Lingfeng thought secretly.

"Note that in the real world, when you penetrate your power into the Black Water Star Realm, the opposing force formed by Shen Rufeng’s Law Power will bring immense pain to your flesh and even your divine soul.

To better help you achieve all this,

the virtual experience about to be simulated, as well as your personal feelings, will be extremely close to real-world reactions.

Moreover, such simulations consume vast energy, like Spirit Stone resources, so in the future, you’ll need to repay the consumed Spirit Stones, as well as the maintenance costs of the Demon Realm System, etc.

The cost is about three times Shen Rufeng’s bounty.

That is, three billion Spirit Stones."

Qin Tiancang said again.

"What?"

Zhang Lingfeng’s jaw dropped, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

The demonstration on how to penetrate power into the Black Water Star Realm via the Demon Realm System would actually require him to pay three billion Spirit Stones?

"Begin!"

Qin Tiancang gave Zhang Lingfeng no chance to refuse.

In fact, if the Black Water Star Realm’s Law Power could be broken, making him the Dominator of the Black Water Star Realm, three billion Spirit Stones wouldn’t be a difficult matter for Zhang Lingfeng in the future.

The most important thing is, if he succeeded, in the future Zhang Lingfeng’s flesh and the stars of the Black Water Star Realm would meld as one, practicing in step with the sun and the moon, making him a true Integration Stage cultivator.

Even in the Intermediate Star Domain Alliance, he could hold a place, and perhaps even openly oppose Shen Rufeng.

Of course, this is under the premise that Zhang Lingfeng does all this.

And Shen Rufeng has not yet crossed the tribulation, or he does not succeed in crossing it; otherwise, once Shen Rufeng successfully crosses it, becoming a Great Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, controlling calamities and destiny, then even if Zhang Lingfeng and Qin Tiancang joined forces, they would have to bow.

"Boom!"

With Qin Tiancang’s order,

it seemed like the Law Power of the Black Water Star Realm convened on Zhang Lingfeng’s divine soul.

The simulated Ancient Blue Star Law automatically recognized danger and protected Zhang Lingfeng autonomously. He felt the Ancient Blue Star Law and the Black Water Star Realm Law pulling and devouring each other.

A sharp pain attacked.

He originally wanted to feel it properly.

To truly experience how to penetrate power into the Black Water Star Realm Law, but unexpectedly, the process was much more painful than Qin Tiancang described.

It seemed as if Shen Rufeng’s Law Power was imprinted on him completely, and every thought wanting to penetrate was obstructed and crushed by that Law Power.

It was as if every cell in his body was about to be devoured by Shen Rufeng’s power.

Zhang Lingfeng saw endless darkness.

A blood-red arm pressed against his face, seeming to want to twist off his head.

"Slap!"

Zhang Lingfeng’s eyes went black, as if heavily falling into the vast, boundless sky.

"What are you doing?"

The expectant Qin Tiancang, almost reacting as if Zhang Lingfeng was about to acknowledge him as an adopted son, almost rushed out to lift Zhang Lingfeng from the starry sky, to let Zhang Lingfeng feel how to penetrate power into the Black Water Star Realm Law.

Unfortunately, the simulation targeted only Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng received the most stringent protection within the Demon Realm System.

Qin Tiancang was able to see the commotion inside but couldn’t help Zhang Lingfeng; he could only watch Zhang Lingfeng lie in the starry sky as the simulation effect from the Demon Realm System continued.

Zhang Lingfeng, thus missing out on this opportunity.

Not only would he need to pay three billion Spirit Stone costs in the future, but he also missed the knack of mastering how to penetrate power into the Black Water Star Realm Law and confront Shen Rufeng’s Law Power.

All in all, the loss was tremendous.

Qin Tiancang only felt that Zhang Lingfeng had completely lost hope of breaking Shen Rufeng’s Law Power.
