Background

Zhang Xingfeng is the reincarnation of the Tianxin Sect's former great elder. Retaining his past-life memories and cultivation knowledge, he began cultivating before birth and concealed his mature mind behind the behavior of an ordinary child 1.

At six, he ruled the children of Suzhou City as the “Child King.” He defeated Lang Feng with his aura, protected Xiangyu and A Xing from its pressure, and chose to help Lang Feng cultivate rather than treat him as an enemy 2 3. He was later expelled from the Zhang Family and left Suzhou with his followers, beginning the independent rise of Star Peak Manor 9.

Xingfeng established the Star Peak Family from this exile. By age twenty, it had become an earl's household, though he regarded its limited influence as the reason he could not protect Yuwen Rou from her marriage to Li Tianxiang and eventual death 76. After Rou's death, he adopted the identity of Shattering Heart, slaughtered bandits in an attempt to vent his resentment, and gained the fearful epithet “Blood Saber Shattering Heart” 60.

He later rejected the Zhang Family Elder Council's offer to make him family head, choosing to remain independent and build his own power 63. His ambition expanded from a noble household to the Tianxin Sect: a force with millions of ordinary citizens, more than one hundred thousand Innate Masters, and nearly a thousand Golden Core experts 144. He formally established the sect by accepting the Star Peak Guards as its 78th-generation disciples and personally elevated hundreds of them to the Golden Core stage 145.

Appearance

Xingfeng is a handsome young man of roughly 1.8 meters, commonly seen in white clothing with silver-white hair. His appearance and demeanor are repeatedly described as calm, elegant, and otherworldly 73 97.

• His hair changed from black to white after a cultivation problem; he treats the change with characteristic indifference 72 97.
• He is often described with white robes, silver hair, calm eyes, and a faint smile 73.
• His ordinary clothing can be replaced by manifested armor, including the Heavenly Fire Armor and Rou Jin battle armor 175 254.
• After reaching the Immortal Undying Body, a purple protective light surrounds him under pressure 340.

Personality

Xingfeng is composed, observant, and difficult to deceive. His Spiritual Sense lets him perceive concealed hostility, allowing him to recognize Li Tianxiang's hatred despite the latter's polite facade 31. He generally prefers directness in both personal dealings and negotiations 184.

He is fiercely protective of those he considers family. He takes responsibility for Lang Feng, his disciples, his wives, children, and followers, and he distributes pills, artifacts, and cultivation methods to strengthen them 97 145 247. His generosity is balanced by high expectations; he warns Xiaofeng never to imitate his qi deviation and later entrusts Tianxin Sect affairs to Zhang Lingqi while cautioning him against arrogance 97 176.

His calmness can become ruthless anger when loved ones are threatened. Insults toward his mother provoke Killing Intent, Rou's fate drives him into a destructive rampage, and threats against Yu Yan bring out the Despair Prison Realm 37 55 351. He later reflects on his own reliance on fortune and seeks to ground himself in genuine purpose rather than endlessly pursuing an unclear Dao 67 290.

Zero Point Split Strike

The Zero Point Split Strike is Xingfeng's signature physical attack art, developed through his own effort and close-quarters combat experience 266 290.

• The fifth form gave him enlightenment in spatial laws and raised his mental cultivation close to the Heavenly Venerable realm 370.
• Its sixth form, Moment of Eternity, destroyed Sheng Hao's top-tier Saint Artifact body, the Chaos Yin Yang Realm 376.

Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Sword Drawing Art

Xingfeng absorbed seven stances of this ancient art from a mysterious stone tablet, though doing so strained his mind until he fainted 267.

• The first three stances can be used with True Primordial Energy or Immortal Primordial Energy 267.
• The fourth stance and above require far greater cultivation; he later learned all seven through study and accumulated battle experience 274.
• He used the art to defeat Black Sun Ancestor after being trapped in the Black Sun Domain 271.

• He created a defensive formation with Chaos Power before clearing Xiao Lin's meridians 74.

• He refined Spirit Awakening Pills to elevate hundreds of Star Peak Guards to the Golden Core stage in a single night 145.

• He shaped the realm's mountain ranges into the forms of a dragon, tiger, phoenix, and Xuanwu 383.
