Truly Different

"If that's the case, then doesn't that mean my future progress..." Tang Chenfeng sighed. First, she told him his future was limitless, and now she was saying that advancing would be as difficult as climbing to heaven. Who could take that?

"More or less. If you rely solely on your own cultivation, you'll probably find it difficult to break through level thirty in this lifetime."

Tang Chenfeng was speechless. "Then doesn't that mean I'm finished?"

Bai Xing slowly said, "That's why I already prepared a solution for you." As she spoke, Bai Xing slowly raised her right hand, and a gemstone appeared in her palm.

"That's Starshine?" Tang Chenfeng asked doubtfully.

"Yes. This is both the solution I'm giving you and the only thing I left behind for you. It's actually an extremely precious energy stone that I created. When your Soul Power awakens, it will awaken along with it and provide you with the Soul Power you need. The energy inside is enough to support your growth all the way to level one hundred."

Although there were many new terms he had never heard before, Tang Chenfeng somehow felt that he could understand them all. This knowledge and information seemed to have already been processed into something he could comprehend before continuously flowing into his mind.

"But whenever you need to break through, you'll need an opportunity to push you past the dividing line. Otherwise, you can only remain where you are forever."

"Ah, I still need an opportunity? What kind of opportunity?"

Bai Xing held her chin with one hand and thought for a moment. "I don't know either. That depends on your fate."

Hearing her say that, Tang Chenfeng felt like he was about to faint. He also realized that the Divine Sense his mother had left behind truly seemed somewhat temperamental.

"Don't worry. As my child, you were born with a Luck Domain. You don't need to worry about failing to find opportunities."

"A domain? What's that?" Whenever Tang Chenfeng heard a new term now, he wanted to ask Bai Xing about it. It would be of great help to him.

Bai Xing helplessly said, "You already have Divine Sense, yet you still haven't understood these things? Fine, I'll explain it again." Tang Chenfeng obediently nodded and sat there, listening attentively.

"First, from lowest to highest, Spiritual Power is divided into eight major levels: Spirit Origin Realm, Spirit Connection Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm, Spirit Domain Realm, and the legendary Divine Origin Realm, Divine King Realm, and Creation Realm. Upon reaching the Spirit Domain Realm, one gains a domain. However, your Luck Domain is innate, so you should also have a Domain Skill right now. Also, you are currently in the late stage of the Divine Origin Realm. You're the only one in the entire universe with that level of Spiritual Power."

Tang Chenfeng had heard Haofan talk about Spiritual Power before, and he had guessed that his own Spiritual Power was frighteningly high. But he truly had not expected it to be this high!

Tang Chenfeng asked, "Then what is my other domain?"

Bai Xing replied, "You'll have to explore that yourself. It's not like I know everything. Also, you must keep the Luck Domain a secret. It represents your heaven-defying luck. As long as someone stays by your side long enough, it can even turn an ordinary person into a genius. You should understand the saying, 'A common man is innocent, but he becomes guilty for possessing a treasure.'"

Tang Chenfeng suddenly understood. So Ye Hongling's talent had actually been obtained from him. But then he suddenly realized a problem. "Then why am I so different? It feels like I'm already beyond the scope of being human."

"This... is because your talent comes from me, and my identity..." Bai Xing's casual manner from before vanished, and she became extremely serious. "It doesn't matter if I tell you, but you must keep it secret. You cannot tell anyone, not even the people closest to you or the ones you trust most. Can you do that?"

Tang Chenfeng replied with equal determination, "I swear that I won't tell anyone anything I hear from this point onward!"

Hearing his resolute oath, Bai Xing's expression relaxed. Then, with a faint smile, she said, "A god."

"A god!"

Seeing Tang Chenfeng's shocked expression, Bai Xing could not help but laugh. "Don't be so nervous. It's just as you imagined. Don't forget the oath you just made."

Tang Chenfeng hurriedly covered his mouth and nodded. "So I'm actually the child of a god. That's why I have the mission you mentioned."

"Mm-hmm. This path is much longer than you imagine."

Tang Chenfeng fell silent for a while before saying, "Honestly, after hearing so much, there are still things I don't understand. I still don't know what my mission is, but I definitely need to become stronger first, right? So I won't think about all that for now. I'll deal with it after I become stronger. Sister Bai Xing, please teach me how to become stronger and how to use my own power."

"That seems right. After telling you so much, you probably need time to digest it all. Then I'll first teach you how to cultivate."

"Okay, Sister Bai Xing." And so, Tang Chenfeng began learning how to cultivate in his spiritual world and how to properly use his Spiritual Power. Bai Xing also told him that his Martial Soul was no ordinary Body Martial Soul. Normally, a Body Martial Soul represented a part of one's body or a particular organ becoming a Martial Soul. But Tang Chenfeng was different. Every part of his body, every cell, was his Martial Soul. In other words, Tang Chenfeng's Martial Soul was himself, and he himself was his Martial Soul.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Tang Chenfeng seemed to hear a familiar voice. Brother Feng... Brother Feng... "Mm, it's Ling'er."

"Looks like the cultivation in your dream is about to end. Do you remember what I taught you?" Bai Xing asked Tang Chenfeng.

"Don't worry, Sister Bai Xing. I've remembered everything. Just wait for my good news."

Then...

"Pfft... This familiar feeling is..." It was still the familiar room, the familiar bed, and the familiar Ling'er and her flying kick.

Tang Chenfeng truly felt like crying without tears. He genuinely did not want to keep being awakened like this. Of course, no one would want to be woken up this way. "Ling'er, how many times have I told you? Can you stop waking me up in such a violent way?"

"I already told you, there's no other way. If I don't do this, you simply won't wake up. And you got up later than usual today. Grandma Ling is already calling for us." Ye Hongling explained with a giggle.

"Ah, I actually overslept. Then I need to hurry." With that, he got out of bed and ran off to wash up.

Not long afterward, the two of them had mostly finished getting ready and headed to the kitchen. Today's breakfast was exceptionally lavish as well, much like yesterday's dinner. But it was not free. The two of them knew that after this meal came grueling training.

After quickly finishing breakfast, the two arrived at the doorway. Village Chief Ye was already waiting for them.
