Power Progression

Chen Feng develops both his spell cultivation and his physical body; his combat strength frequently exceeds his stated realm.

Background and History

Cross-World Trading and the Xingfeng Sect

Chen Feng originally intended to use the painting scroll to trade between two worlds, become prosperous on Earth, and secure his own survival in the Painting Scroll World. Before becoming a cultivator, he used modern firearms to overcome dangers that ordinary people could not face. He founded the Xingfeng Sect as a mining operation and hired martial artists, including Wang Hu, to protect it 2 197.

When Black Wind Stronghold demanded additional tribute, Chen Feng concealed his dependence on modern weapons behind a fabricated story about belonging to a powerful lineage. He also sought information about immortal cultivators, considering their methods more worthwhile than conventional martial training 2 3.

After Black Wind Stronghold’s defeat, he accepted its surviving personnel rather than killing or expelling them. Liu Qian became an increasingly important administrator, while Wang Hu handled military leadership. This division allowed Chen Feng to delegate the sect’s daily affairs and concentrate on cultivation and acquiring equipment 18 50 56.

Modern Industry and Northern Territory Development

On Earth, Chen Feng’s enterprises developed from Xingfeng Mining into pharmaceutical and broader industrial operations. The state registered him as a professor with the Dragon Academy of Sciences and stationed soldiers at his plant. His businesses marketed Wound Healing No. 1 and Essence Nourishing Body Strengthening Pills, while Lin Wei researched ways to collect and regulate Spiritual Qi 15 52 95.

After securing the Northern Territory, Chen Feng abolished the villages’ annual tribute and promised protection to their inhabitants. He ordered Liu Qian to build a city that would restore trade and develop the region’s economy. Xingfeng City subsequently opened with modern shops and a commercial district 115 125 210.

His industrial policy increasingly combined cultivation with modern production. When warned that the Solar System’s Spiritual Qi revival might attract powerful outsiders, he ordered mass martial training, unrestricted pill sales, expanded weapon sales, and at least 5,000 additional Northern Border factories within a year 531.

Golden Core and Responsibility for His Followers

After reaching Golden Core, Chen Feng killed the crews of nearly twenty Eagle Sauce warships despite their surrender. He recognized afterward that his growing power had made him increasingly indifferent to ordinary lives 283.

A later encounter with villagers persecuted by people claiming the Xingfeng Sect’s authority forced him to confront the consequences of his own neglect. He destroyed a statue erected in his honor, judged himself unworthy of the villagers’ faith, and accepted responsibility for the faction he had created. His state of mind improved when he acknowledged these failures 290.

Nascent Soul and Canglan Star

Chen Feng spent five years in seclusion before preparing for Nascent Soul formation. He then traveled through Dragon Country with Li Xiaorou to settle his mind, reaching a sense of peace while climbing Mount Tai. He formed his Nascent Soul and faced Earth’s comparatively weaker Heavenly Tribulation 462 470 473 474.

During the Falling Rosy Clouds Valley crisis, he rescued Xingfeng Sect members and other survivors, removed Devil Qi with Star Energy, and destroyed a devil-servant-infested site with a nuclear bomb. The campaign helped establish his reputation as the foremost cultivator below Spirit Transformation 652 668.

After reaching Spirit Transformation and protecting Canglan Star, he became recognized as its strongest cultivator. His later conflicts extended into the Weiyang Star Domain, where he survived encounters with Void Refinement powers. On returning, he strengthened Canglan Star’s Primordial Qi with captured Primordial Spirits and entrusted its defense to allied cultivators while he pursued further cultivation 735 761 805.

Star-Domain Expansion and Dao Integration

Chen Feng negotiated a major exchange with the Mara Clan, selling cultivation techniques and basic pill-refinement and formation knowledge for currency and clan resources, including blood from sixth-tier members and above. He also arranged a Mara outpost near the Solar System’s spatial passage 864.

Within roughly two hundred years, he had risen from a mortal to a Half-Step Dao Integration powerhouse, while the Xingfeng Sect had become a star-domain hegemon. During this period, he operated under Wang Ping’s identity in the Three Saints Sect and built a battlefield reputation through dangerous missions against Blood Demon Hall forces 875 907.

Following his Dao Integration breakthrough, he returned to Earth and learned that the Mara passage had collapsed. He chose to investigate using the painting scroll’s teleportation ability. His later dealings with the Mara were exploitative: when speaking to their conscious Sacred Tree, he concealed that he was using Mara Clan members as blood slaves 926 1004.

Despite the sect’s expansion and his own formidable strength, Chen Feng eventually ordered a period of restraint: gather resources, develop, and avoid unnecessary enemies rather than repeat the conflicts that had accompanied earlier expansion 1012.

Appearance

Chen Feng retains a youthful appearance despite the long periods he spends cultivating. He is described as handsome, with a seemingly slender body that conceals extraordinary physical strength 340 602 835.

• Silver hair: Appears when he enters the Transcendent State; after prolonged seclusion, it is described as falling over his shoulders 25 462.
• Star-like eyes: His eyes shine like stars when he emerges from five years of seclusion 462.
• Silver blood and flesh: Manifestations of the Stars Body-Refining Instruction at Golden Core 281.
• Variable outward appearance: At Golden Core, he can use up to 30% of his Spiritual Power through his bracelet without changing appearance; fully mobilizing it restores his silver-haired form 291 300.
• Unassuming presence: Without an overt display of power, observers can mistake him for an ordinary person 287.

Personality

Chen Feng initially prioritizes caution and self-preservation. He considers abandoning the Xingfeng Sect when confronted with stronger enemies, conceals his origins behind invented backing, and prefers equipping subordinates with modern weapons to exposing himself unnecessarily. Even after reaching Golden Core, he avoids revealing his face when doing so would create trouble 3 11 30 287.

His early attitude toward hired followers is markedly utilitarian: he regards them as replaceable tools and feels no grief over heavy losses. As the sect develops, however, he comes to regard it as his own life’s work and Wang Hu and the others as friends. News of Wu Xing’s death provokes intense anger rather than indifference 18 197.

He values competence over flattery, dislikes people kneeling before him, and rejects “face” as a principle that should dictate the sect’s decisions. His preferred long-term goals become longevity and greater strength through technology rather than ruling a country 18 270 362 414.

His treatment of enemies is often ruthless. He repeatedly favors eliminating threats completely, yet can also negotiate when doing so secures compensation or practical advantages. His concern for ordinary people does not erase his willingness to coerce, exploit, or kill others, and he refuses demands to exhaust scarce resources merely because strangers invoke a moral obligation 316 387 620 652 1004.

Abilities & Skills

Painting Scroll and Cross-World Travel

The painting scroll enables Chen Feng to move between Earth and the Painting Scroll World and supplies the foundation for his trading and cultivation strategy 3 197.

• Can open and close a passage, preventing pursuers from following his route once it is shut 3.
• Exploits differing time flows: about two and a half hours in the Painting Scroll World initially correspond to half an hour on Earth 52.
• Uses cross-world transportation to evade attacks; during his battle with Eunuch Li, it is faster than ordinary Teleportation 578.
• Gains access to an expanded scroll depiction covering the Northern Border after reaching Golden Core 283.
• Confirms that erasing a depicted area can erase its corresponding ground from a real planet 926.

Stars Body-Refining Instruction and Star Body

His principal fighting style combines a heavily strengthened body with concentrated Spiritual Power and Star Energy 213 494.

• Develops increasing strength, durability, and speed with cultivation breakthroughs, including advances within a major realm 560 563.
• Projects condensed Spiritual Power over three kilometers, with an initial velocity exceeding the speed of sound during an early test 220.
• Uses Star Energy for defense and concealment, later gaining offensive applications through Divine Abilities 560.
• Can expel Devil Qi from others, but doing so consumes his available Star Energy 652.
• Survives Venerable Ice Soul’s attacks and physically breaks through her Domain World 761.
• Carries a major cultivation risk: the method consumes a planet’s origin, an activity powerful experts may detect 283.

Transcendent State and Spiritual Power Control

Activating his Spirit Aperture fills his body with Spiritual Qi, enhancing his physical capabilities and enabling his early spellcasting 25.

• Initially relies on the Transcendent State to use certain techniques, including the Wind Blade Technique 103.
• Uses Lin Wei’s regulator to direct all his Spiritual Power into a selected body part, such as a fist 182 204.
• Gains absolute control over his Spiritual Power after adopting the Stars Body-Refining Instruction, making the regulator unnecessary at that stage 213.

Teleportation and Power of Faith

Chen Feng combines sudden movement with close-range attacks, making his physical strength particularly difficult to counter 331.

• Absorbs Power of Faith from statues to increase his Nascent Soul’s Spiritual Rhyme and available Teleportation uses 480.
• Raises his reserve to nearly 20 uses after inspecting village statues, and later to 200 before entering the Void Heaven Realm 480 602.
• Uses Teleportation to escape opponents as strong as Half-Step Spirit Transformation 602.
• Within Canglan Star’s bounds, combines teleportation and Star-Power-infused blows to overwhelm opponents below Void Refinement 727.

Divine Sense and Divine Soul Cultivation

The Great Expansion Divine Art strengthens his soul, perception, and control over Divine Sense 531.

• Its first layer gives him Divine Sense and Divine Soul strength above his actual minor realm 531.
• Overpowers and destroys a resistant ownership mark on a treasure mirror with concentrated Divine Sense 606.
• Plants a Soul Seal in Jack to monitor danger and safeguard his secrets 182.
• Remains vulnerable to specialized soul attacks: before forming a Primordial Spirit, his enhanced soul alone cannot withstand the Soul-Slaying Sword 584.

Spells, Divine Abilities, and Principles

His early spell repertoire is limited, but unusually potent Spiritual Power allows even basic techniques to challenge stronger opponents 536.

• Fireball Technique: Produces high-temperature spiritual fire; his early test reduces a tree trunk to ash in a second 25.
• Wind Blade Technique: Becomes strong enough at Foundation Establishment to kill ordinary people without entering the Transcendent State 179.
• Heavenly Star Annihilation Finger: A Divine Ability from the Stars Body-Refining Instruction; later used to distract Venerable Ice Soul before a concealed physical counterattack 584 663 761.
• Force Principle: Reaches 9,000 Threads by Peak Void Refinement, greatly increasing his physical power 857.
• Space-Fixing Technique: An Immortal Technique he estimates can immobilize a Second Step Dao Integration expert. Its immense Immortal Primordial Power cost restricts it to a trump card 877.
• Dao Art of Severance and Three Saints Sword Instruction: Uses both while posing as Wang Ping, killing more than twenty enemies alone during an interception mission 907.

Technology, Trade, and Organization

Chen Feng’s technological advantage extends beyond personal weapons to industrial production and battlefield support 484 531.

• Trains trusted sect members to use modern firearms and other equipment 50.
• Employs satellite positioning where Devil Qi disrupts cultivators’ Divine Sense 652.
• Builds a development model centered on mortal labor, modern manufacturing, and cultivation rather than dependence on exceptional disciples or top-grade Spirit Veins 484.
• Acquires and deploys nuclear weapons, Aerospace Carriers, cultivation robots, and space-based weapons 531 575 602.
• Uses interworld medicines, metals, and cultivation knowledge as commercial resources 95 182 340 864.
