Chapter 1157: Sir, I Don't Want To_3

Qing Canghai believed the terms he offered were very generous.

Zhang Lingfeng had no reason to refuse; compared to the conditions proposed by the Golden Envoy, these were far more favorable.

After all, the Jin Family was just a family and could not stand against the Alliance.

Zhang Lingfeng nodded, acknowledging that the Alliance’s terms were indeed tempting. However, they did not understand him; he would not give up a single life.

Nor would he leave the safety of the Black Water Star Realm to the Alliance because he did not trust them. In the face of overwhelming benefits or danger, the Alliance could abandon the Black Water Star Realm at any time.

Meeting Qing Canghai, Zhang Lingfeng still held hope that the Alliance would, like the Ancient Moon Sect, assist in guarding the Black Water Star Realm and ensure that the Little Golden Dragon wouldn’t be taken by the Shadow Alliance.

He hoped they would fight alongside him as a member of the Alliance, but unfortunately, things did not go as he wished.

So he said, “Elder Void said he could perform a Will Implantation for me, helping me grasp the Qi Fortune True Essence Symbol and the Star Sacred Body Cultivation Secret Technique more easily, even wanting to take me as a disciple. This point…”

“I can do that too.”

Qing Canghai said without hesitation.

“Really?”

Zhang Lingfeng’s interest was piqued.

“I shall perform the Will Implantation for you first.”

Qing Canghai knew he needed to show sincerity now. His Conscious Power touched Zhang Lingfeng’s consciousness, and vast information and cultivation content, even imprints of cultivation, flooded into Zhang Lingfeng’s consciousness, laying the foundation for Qi Fortune True Essence cultivation.

“Boom!”

This was a great opportunity, but unfortunately, the implantation process was too painful for Zhang Lingfeng to endure; his consciousness quickly dissipated, disappearing from Qing Canghai’s sight.

“Huh?”

Qing Canghai was caught off guard.

“Zhang Lingfeng’s will is weak. When others perform Will Implantation for him, it’s hard for him to last till the end. Previously, both Di Yaozong and I tried, and each time, just a moment in, his consciousness would disperse.”

Steward Ma explained.

Ancient Blue Star.

In the real world.

[You refused Qing Canghai’s Will Implantation, fully embracing the Coast Along approach, gaining 8,772 billion Coasting Along Value.]

“Over 8,000 billion, about a billion more than Elder Void. Could it be that Qing Canghai is stronger than Elder Void? No way, he hasn’t taken me as a disciple yet!”

Zhang Lingfeng was visibly excited.

Steward Ma had already opened a window for him to enter the Super Star Realm at any time, knowing that Qing Canghai and Steward Ma were still inside.

A brand new consciousness descended.

Zhang Lingfeng saw again the bodies formed by the consciousness of Steward Ma and Qing Canghai, awkwardly saying, “Sorry, my will is weak. No matter who helps with my Will Implantation, it’s hard for me to last till the end. Please don’t mind, Chief.”

“No worries, once the Black Water Star Realm evolves into an Intermediate Star Realm, I can perform another implantation for you there, ensuring you won’t suffer the slightest pain. In the future, we’ll be allies.”

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng reappear, Qing Canghai smiled, knowing the Little Golden Dragon was secure, having convinced Zhang Lingfeng to return.

“Chief, you mentioned earlier about performing a Will Implantation for me and also…”

Zhang Lingfeng said nervously.

“Hahaha!”

Qing Canghai couldn’t help but laugh.

With this master-disciple bond formed, he wasn’t worried about not securing the Little Golden Dragon. Zhang Lingfeng seemed to have trusted him, successfully persuaded.

“The chief can also accept you as a disciple.”

Steward Ma said excitedly.

The Alliance could obtain the Little Golden Dragon and help Zhang Lingfeng protect the Black Water Star Realm. Zhang Lingfeng thought that handing over the Little Golden Dragon and becoming Qing Canghai’s disciple seemed genuinely agreeable.

He always feared Zhang Lingfeng would refuse Qing Canghai and that their parting would lead to conflict, forcing him to help Qing Canghai seize the Little Golden Dragon in the Black Water Star Realm.

He didn’t want to sour his relationship with Zhang Lingfeng.

Nor did he want to see the Black Water Star Realm ravaged or Zhang Lingfeng turning against the Alliance, bringing them into conflict.

So, Steward Ma felt joy from the bottom of his heart for Zhang Lingfeng and the Alliance.

As for Zhang Lingfeng’s previous refusals to join them, Steward Ma didn’t think much of it. Clearly, Zhang Lingfeng had been waiting for a more suitable mentor to accept him as a disciple.

Qing Canghai, as a leader of the Advanced Star Realm Alliance and one of the leaders of the Lower World’s Alliance, was undoubtedly the ideal mentor Zhang Lingfeng had long awaited, the teacher of his heart.

“Zhang Lingfeng, are you willing to become my disciple, ascend to the Upper World with me, and, alongside all the Alliance’s strong members, battle across the realms to achieve great things?”

Qing Canghai asked solemnly, hands behind his back.

The powerful life force emanated from his consciousness, making him the most powerful life Zhang Lingfeng could encounter in the Super Star Realm.

It seemed no one could shake his position; in the Lower World, all Alliance members, from Dharma Martial Artists to those who nurture stars, ready to ascend to the Upper World, looked to him.

Zhang Lingfeng was shaken and excited inside.

He quickly said, “Chief, I am not willing!”

“Bang!”

Then his consciousness dispersed, disappearing from the Super Star Realm.

Waiting for Zhang Lingfeng to kneel, call him Master repeatedly, recount his hardships and why he couldn’t meet him sooner, expressing how joining him was a stroke of great luck, and delivering a string of speeches, Qing Canghai stood dumbstruck, his gaze fixed on where Zhang Lingfeng had appeared.

“Could the Will Implantation earlier have destabilized his consciousness?”

Unable to think of any reason why Zhang Lingfeng would refuse him, Qing Canghai asked Steward Ma.

“Uh…”

Steward Ma’s expression stiffened, feeling Qing Canghai’s guess made sense; perhaps it was so.

But the words Zhang Lingfeng spoke before his consciousness faded, could it have been a mishearing? Did he mishear the “I am not willing”?

“Zhang Lingfeng, how dare you toy with me.”

“Hahahaha!”

Unable to suppress his laughter, Qing Canghai was shocked a Basic Star Domain Life dared to trick the Alliance leader. Who gave him that courage and confidence?

Who was it?

“Pass down the order, once the Black Water Star Realm evolves into an Intermediate Star Realm, spare no cost to acquire the Little Golden Dragon first. Ignore Zhang Lingfeng and the Black Water Star Domain Life’s fate. If Zhang Lingfeng resists, treat him as a betrayer of the Alliance, overthrowing it and disrupting unity.”

Qing Canghai commanded angrily.

“Uh… this…”

Steward Ma’s expression turned rigid; he realized Zhang Lingfeng had truly angered Qing Canghai, and the Black Water Star Realm might become a living hell. Zhang Lingfeng should not have provoked Qing Canghai.
