Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 720 - 225: Divine Soul at 100%, Mastering the Law

Ling Feng felt countless auras surging towards him, and it seemed as though he had become the focal point of the entire city. Even Hao Yuchen, who stood beside him, was staring at him with intense eyes, as if he couldn’t wait to challenge him in battle and uncover his secrets.

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Ling Feng realized that the recognition from the Celestial Master had stirred up intense unease and jealousy among those prodigies famed throughout the world.

Everyone wanted to prove themselves in Celestial Water City.

Invisibly, he had become the target of everyone’s attention.

But reason told Ling Feng that he must find a way to divert everyone’s attention, and under no circumstances could he expose his cultivation.

Because his enemies didn’t just include the Wu Family, but also the Undersea Divine King Mengba of Ancient Blue Star.

Compared to the Wu Family, Mengba was truly Ling Feng’s number one nemesis.

Ling Feng would never forget the day when the fluctuations of Mengba’s law power caused ripples on Ancient Blue Star. The other party had already infiltrated the laws of Ancient Blue Star; although he hadn’t yet mastered Ancient Blue Star, he could easily destroy it, and even the Celestial Master was helpless.

If his strength of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment were exposed or if Mengba learned he might become a Soul Master, the other party would surely never let him return to Ancient Blue Star.

Let alone allow him to find his own law power on Ancient Blue Star and penetrate that power into the planet’s laws.

Mengba would never allow anyone to jointly control the laws of Ancient Blue Star with him and threaten his existence.

Under the deterrence of the Alliance, the identity of the Alliance Saint Son might make the Wu Family hesitate, and even under the influence of the Celestial Master, make the Wu Family regret their initial actions.

But Mengba would not.

Rather, he would try everything possible to prevent Ling Feng from returning to Ancient Blue Star, making it a forbidden place for him.

Understanding the laws of Ancient Blue Star is tantamount to controlling the entire planet, having a second life. In the future, even if the Dao Seed is destroyed and the soul perishes, one can still be revived and reborn on Ancient Blue Star.

Such a massive temptation, how could Ling Feng refuse?

To take a step back, even if he couldn’t be revived on Ancient Blue Star, for the sake of his family and friends living there and himself, Ling Feng must comprehend the laws of Ancient Blue Star to prevent it from becoming Mengba’s shield and impunity.

Therefore, his current cultivation must not be exposed.

He couldn’t help but look towards the Celestial Master Mansion, perhaps not even the Celestial Master expected that announcing his status as a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder would bring him such trouble.

"I’ve tried time and again to protect you, never expected to bring you trouble repeatedly."

"Could this be fate and karma?"

The Celestial Master sighed.

The voice appeared in Ling Feng’s mind.

Ling Feng was stunned.

Indeed.

The last time, the Celestial Master expelled him from the Soul Hall with the intention of letting him develop quietly without disturbance, but unexpectedly, the reaction was overwhelming. First, the Liu Family cut off his resource support and distanced themselves from him.

Later, the Star Gate even made a grand gesture, taking him to Celestial Water City for a public apology.

Now, the Celestial Master declaring him a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder was meant to alleviate Ling Feng’s awkward situation, but unexpectedly, the prodigies from Titan Star and the entire Black Water Star Realm were eager to act.

In no time, teleportation arrays or interstellar airships swiftly descended upon Celestial Water City, all wanting to compete with him.

Even if the Celestial Master intervenes now to prevent it, proving that becoming a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder has nothing to do with Ling Feng, everyone would still indulge in wild fantasies, suspecting a cover-up.

At the same time, it would arouse Mengba’s suspicion.

Ling Feng vaguely remembered that if it weren’t for the mysterious elder from the White Tiger Star Realm shielding him with law power, he would have long been exposed to Mengba’s sights.

"Law power shielding."

"Wait!"

"I almost forgot about this."

"Even if I return to Ancient Blue Star, under the shield of that law power, it seems Mengba can’t find me."

Ling Feng suddenly remembered this matter.

On that day in the starry sky, the terrifying spiritual sense of Mengba spread over from Ancient Blue Star, almost instantly locking onto him. That intense crisis, Ling Feng could never shake off.

At the critical moment, a mysterious elder from the White Tiger Star Realm appeared. A force of law power not only shielded his aura but also diverted Mengba’s attention to the Liu Family’s airship.

Ling Feng vaguely remembered being locked onto by Mengba at that time.

Thanks to the shielding of the law power by the mysterious elder, Mengba unknowingly shifted his focus to the Liu Family’s airship, and after the elder disappeared, he returned to Ancient Blue Star and was never locked on by Mengba again.

Could it be, even if my cultivation of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is exposed, upon returning to Ancient Blue Star, Mengba still wouldn’t be able to find me, just because of that law power shield from the mysterious elder?

"No, this matter is just my wishful thinking. If Mengba truly knew I achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he wouldn’t turn Ancient Blue Star upside down, or else what?"

"I can’t put my hopes on that elder’s law power. If there’s any trickery, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Ling Feng couldn’t help but shake his head.

"Ling Feng, tell me, is it because of you that the Celestial Master became a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder?"

Hao Yuchen couldn’t contain his skepticism.

As an Alchemist, a ninth grade divine thought not only guides origin power but also subtly resonates with law power. At this moment, Hao Yuchen seemed like a ticking time bomb, ready to destroy everything.

"Do you really think so?"

"If I had that ability, would I be led around by you? Don’t forget, we’re both Star Gate Disciples, and our enemy is the Cyan Cloud Sect."
