Chapter 1097 - 351: Father, the Seed Can’t Be Protected Anymore

He is Zhang Lingfeng.

These five words were like an Immobilization Talisman, petrifying Shen Junsong on the spot. When he finally reacted, he didn’t ponder why Zhang Lingfeng could escape from Shen Rufeng’s catastrophe and successfully cross the tribulation; instead, he doubted the authenticity of the Shadow Alliance’s intelligence.

So he reopened the intelligence report, and once again saw those striking five words: He is Zhang Lingfeng.

"Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible!"

Shen Junsong shook his head.

Unable to restrain himself, he contacted the intelligence sales liaison of the Shadow Alliance.

"Tell me, he’s not Zhang Lingfeng, he’s not Zhang Lingfeng! You made a mistake. How could he possibly still be alive?"

Shen Junsong shouted hysterically.

"I’m sorry, he really is Zhang Lingfeng, and he has returned to the Ancient Moon Sect, where he will receive focused cultivation. Please take care of yourself."

The sales person chuckled.

"Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible! You’ve definitely made a mistake, surely you’ve made a mistake! Answer me, answer me, ahhhhh!"

Shen Junsong completely broke down.

Learning that Zhang Lingfeng was still alive was more painful to him than being directly killed; he couldn’t accept that Zhang Lingfeng could emerge unscathed from Shen Rufeng’s tribulation.

Bear in mind that even Shen Rufeng had already perished.

Why Zhang Lingfeng? How did he do it?

Yet reality was in front of him, and apart from hysterical roars, Shen Junsong couldn’t change the situation at all. Not only was Zhang Lingfeng still alive, but he had reappeared before his eyes as a Tribulation Crossing Immortal.

Soon, the news that Zhang Lingfeng was alive spread throughout the entire Intermediate Star Realm.

Many people found it unbelievable.

Steward Ma and Di Yaozong immediately arrived at the Ancient Moon Sect’s Star Realm, eager to meet Zhang Lingfeng.

Steward Ma was a high-ranking figure in the Alliance.

Di Yaozong was a Steward Elder of the Ancient Moon Sect.

Having just interacted with Tian Mingyue, Di Yaozong met Zhang Lingfeng first.

"Good lad, it’s really you."

Di Yaozong’s true form descended, his immense Life Radiance as dazzling and blinding as the sun, making it impossible for ordinary people to open their eyes. Under the illumination of the Life Radiance, Zhang Lingfeng’s aura fluctuations were unmistakable.

He confirmed that Zhang Lingfeng was indeed alive.

Not only was he alive, but he also possessed Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation. It seemed it wasn’t Shen Rufeng who pulled him into the catastrophe; instead, he became part of Shen Rufeng’s catastrophe, crossing his own Life and Death Tribulation during Shen Rufeng’s catastrophe.

Self-reliance is better than seeking help.

At that moment, Di Yaozong seemed to achieve enlightenment and unlocked the Life Profound Meaning.

Involuntarily, he said, "If I’m not mistaken, the reason you emerged from Shen Rufeng’s catastrophe is due to the Black Water Star Domain Life saving you, right?"

"Yes, at the moment I was about to be completely swallowed by death, I saw a Life Passage formed by the Black Water Star Domain Life, and ultimately, I successfully walked out of the catastrophe, returning after crossing the tribulation."

Zhang Lingfeng did not hide anything, nodding.

"Originally you told me, ’Life is about protection, not abandonment.’ I scoffed at this at first, but now I finally understand its meaning.

You broke Shen Rufeng’s Law. Essentially, you were part of Shen Rufeng’s catastrophe. He thought he could eliminate you and the catastrophe using the Life and Death Tribulation.

In reality, no. When you decided to protect the Black Water Star Domain Life, you had already won because you’d carry Life Passage into Shen Rufeng’s catastrophe, not only successfully resisting Shen Rufeng’s harm to you but also crossing your own tribulation."

Di Yaozong realized suddenly.

"The situation is quite similar to what you said, senior."

Zhang Lingfeng nodded.

"Ah, I understood too late. If I had realized the True Meaning of Life earlier, I might have mastered the Life Origin Power."

Di Yaozong sighed.

"Is Life Origin really that important?"

Zhang Lingfeng wondered.

"Certainly important."

Di Yaozong had a serious face and earnestly said, "Only by successfully Nurturing Stars can one witness the full process of the Life Law’s birth, and only by understanding life can various powers be comprehended.

Life is the origin of all powers.

Understanding life allows understanding of the future.

The otherworldly cultivators appearing on Abyss One this time, who directly resonate with various powers through their bloodlines, even drive many alien creatures through bloodline resonance, is precisely because their life origins are vastly different from ours.

To effectively stop them, one must unlock life’s secrets and comprehend their life origins.

And the Life Origin Power can trace back to the life origins, directly finding flaws in their bloodlines."

Di Yaozong explained.

"I’ve used Soul Power to break Ma Fei’s bloodline balance; within Ma Fei’s bloodline, I’ve seen much Qi Fortune Power. I’ve always felt that the reason their bloodlines can naturally resonate with various powers and naturally control the Five Elements is primarily due to the Qi Fortune in their bloodlines."

Zhang Lingfeng recalled.

"Yes, this is known to both the Alliance and Ancient Moon Sect, and the Soul Master’s Soul Power is the nemesis of their bloodline balance.

However, there aren’t many Soul Masters in the Alliance or Ancient Moon Sect, especially those whose Soul Power has undergone the fourth or fifth transformations.

To truly eliminate them, life’s origin secrets must be understood.

Furthermore, if their life origins become clear, bloodlines similar to theirs can evolve, even allowing direct entry into their world through Abyss One.

In recent years, it’s always been alien creatures invading the Intermediate Star Realm, whereas few cultivators here have invaded other worlds.
