# Chapter 2461: Time Gap

Lin Feng kept moving forward along the return path. Waves of time storms swept past him, forcing him to be extremely cautious. He felt as if he were back in the void world of a small realm, facing all kinds of dangers, advancing with difficulty through countless crises.

"How could there be a forbidden land like the Ganges of Time?" Lin Feng deeply sensed the terror of this place. It was like a time-space tunnel, yet also like a chaotic void current.

"Lin Feng, the time in the space you're in has already changed. But being here, we can't sense how much time has passed outside; we can only feel the time inside," Old Ox said to Lin Feng, causing Lin Feng's expression to stiffen. He hoped time here would pass slowly. If it passed quickly, then in what seemed like a very short time, the one-year agreement outside would be reached.

Earlier, Lin Feng felt as if only an instant had passed in the time storm. But now, trying to find the place where Zhetian and Qiongsheng had gone, it seemed to take forever. He couldn't find the storm entrance no matter what. He also tried to communicate with them, but jade slip communication was useless—divine sense contact was completely severed.

Looking up, a black storm swept past before him. Lin Feng felt a chill all over his body, as if this space was extremely cold. This cold was the cold of loneliness. Lin Feng drifted through time, aimless, as if he could no longer remember how long he had been here, with no end in sight.

Another white light swept over, like a tide about to engulf everything. Lin Feng's body moved like the wind, dodging to the side. But the tide seemed to cover every place, making Lin Feng's expression turn ugly. He concentrated all his power on a single point and blasted out wildly, creating a gap in the white light. In that instant, Lin Feng's body shot through like teleportation. Just as the white light closed, his foot barely made it out. His heart pounded violently. He had experienced this kind of danger many times already.

But just then, several more streams of primal power surged toward Lin Feng from ahead, making his expression darken. Sensing the pulse of heaven and earth, Lin Feng closed his eyes, using perception to observe the outside world, then moved. But a stream of water primal power still touched his arm. In an instant, white smoke rose from his arm, as if it were scorched. The pain was so intense that Lin Feng gritted his teeth—it was the agony of flesh being stripped away.

The wound that emitted white smoke then seemed to freeze in an instant, the pain numbing Lin Feng's senses entirely.

"This is water primal power. It can be cold to the extreme, but also boiling hot. Too painful." Lin Feng's life primal power continuously healed his injuries, yet he still advanced cautiously. His beard gradually grew longer, his clothes became more tattered, and his long hair reached his waist.

"Senior Ox, how long has it been?" Lin Feng asked.

"Twelve years," a response echoed in Lin Feng's mind, making his heart skip a beat. Twelve years. He hoped the Fate Temple was safe.

Over these years, Lin Feng had also been thinking: why could the primal power truly born from heaven and earth be so strong, while the heavenly dao primal power they comprehended was not nearly as terrifying? Moreover, Lin Feng himself was a world sovereign—he had his own primal power. He wondered if there was a deviation in his cultivation path. How could he step into the later stage of the Sovereign realm?

"Lin Feng," Old Ox's voice came at that moment, making Lin Feng's expression freeze. Ahead, he saw the storm entrance—the very place where he had seen Zhetian and Qiongsheng being swept in.

"Those two children are trapped inside, their fate unknown. Do you really want to go in?" Old Ox's voice was very grave. Inside, no one knew what might be there.

"En," Lin Feng nodded slightly, walking toward the storm entrance. No matter what was inside, he had to go in and find Zhetian and Qiongsheng.

"I'll first test it with an avatar," Lin Feng said again. Then, figures of Lin Feng appeared one after another, charging into the storm entrance. Soon, through his avatars, Lin Feng perceived the scene inside and was inwardly shocked. So many dangers, and they moved very fast. His ordinary avatars had little strength and could barely pass through.

After trying for a long time, Lin Feng said, "Since those two little ones aren't dead, this passage might lead to another safe place. I'll use avatars to clear the path, and my true body can avoid the dangers."

With that, more avatars entered the storm, and Lin Feng himself followed, stepping inside. All kinds of terrifying dangers appeared, even powerful illusions. But because the avatars cleared the way, everything was dangerous but not disastrous. Moreover, the storm moved extremely fast. Before long, Lin Feng was swept into another space. His body was thrown out. He steadied himself, walked through the void, and looked around, momentarily stunned.

Here, there was actually a fertile land of life, but it was wrapped in a vast expanse of white light. That white light seemed to be the power of time, enveloping this fertile land.

And on this fertile land, Lin Feng saw many living beings—human martial cultivators. Moreover, many of them were very powerful.

"There's a small world within the Ganges of Time." Lin Feng's heart trembled. A figure came whistling over. This person wore simple clothes, his hair slightly messy but clean. His eyes were sharp as he stared at Lin Feng and said, "Another outsider. How did you get in?"

"I was caught in a storm and ended up here," Lin Feng said.

"It seems the same as those two fellows from a few hundred years ago. Lucky," the figure said with a smile, making Lin Feng's pupils contract. Two little ones? A few hundred years?

"Indeed, time flow—unknown time." Although Lin Feng was shocked, a stone seemed to lift from his heart. He asked, "Where are they?"

"They're at Old Man Shi's place. Do you know them?"

"I do. Please take me to them," Lin Feng said.

"Alright, follow me." This person led Lin Feng forward. Before long, they arrived at a grassy slope in front of a low house. There, an old man and two young men seemed to be casually chatting.

"Zhetian, Qiongsheng," Lin Feng called out. The two below trembled violently. Looking up and seeing Lin Feng, their eyes instantly turned red.

"Father." Zhetian and Qiongsheng called out almost simultaneously. Then their bodies shot up, arriving before Lin Feng, and they embraced him tightly.

"After several hundred years, we finally see Father again," Zhetian sighed. Now, he had gained more maturity. And his cultivation level shocked Lin Feng—he had already stepped into the Great Accomplishment Saint King realm, almost the same as Lin Feng himself.

Lin Feng revealed a strange smile. Several hundred years—he was their father, but it seemed he hadn't lived as long as they had. How could this not feel bizarre to him?

"Good. It's good that you're alive." Lin Feng was very gratified. Zhetian was at the Great Accomplishment Saint King realm, and Qiongsheng had also stepped into the Minor Accomplishment Saint King realm. Both were very strong.

"Your realms are about to surpass your father's," Lin Feng laughed loudly.

The two showed embarrassed smiles. Zhetian said, "We owe it all to Old Man Shi's help. Without his care, we wouldn't have reached our current realms."

Lin Feng's gaze fell on the ordinary old man below, and he immediately felt unfathomably deep—unreadable. He walked down and bowed slightly to the old man, saying, "Junior Lin Feng thanks Senior for taking care of these two little ones."

"No need to thank me. It's their own talent. Otherwise, what use would my care be? They'd still be stuck at some realm," the old man said with a smile. "That boy Zhetian was born with a primal body. Comprehending primal power is effortless for him. Even I am amazed."

Born with a primal body?

Lin Feng looked at Zhetian. This little one had possessed all kinds of abilities since childhood—truly terrifying talent.

"You father and sons reunite. Have a good talk. I'll go attend to my business." Old Man Shi smiled and left. Lin Feng looked at Zhetian and Qiongsheng and asked, "Haven't you thought about leaving all this time?"

"We have, but Old Man Shi said the time isn't right," Qiongsheng replied. "Father, this place is a treasure land. Let us take you somewhere."

With that, the two youngsters pulled Lin Feng and rushed in a certain direction. Moments later, Lin Feng found that they had brought him to the time zone enveloping this life space. There were many time corridors, each with its own space, containing various types of heavenly and earthly primal power as well as all kinds of destructive forces.

"This is where we cultivate and comprehend. When we didn't understand something, Old Man Shi and the others here would enthusiastically help us. That's how we reached our current realms. Father, Zhetian has already achieved great completion in several primal power systems," Qiongsheng said with a grin. "I'm a bit behind, but I'll work hard in cultivation. From now on, Father won't have to worry about us. We'll fight alongside you."

"En, fight alongside you," Zhetian nodded with a smile.

"Good kids. You've finally grown up. Come, let's go see your mother." Lin Feng patted the two youngsters' heads, then smiled and brought them into his own world. Mengqing and Youyou were extremely happy to see them. Lin Hai and Yue Menghe were also overjoyed to see their grandsons return. The whole family was filled with joy and harmony.

Xi Emperor was also here. She watched Lin Feng and his family like an outsider. Influenced by Qiu Yuexin and Xinye, the coldness on Xi Emperor's body had been gradually weakening.

"Do you still want to take revenge on me?" Lin Feng asked Xi Emperor.

Xi Emperor's expression was complicated. Her gaze fixed on Lin Feng, then she closed her eyes and shook her head. "I no longer hate. Brother Jiuyou did it willingly. It was all my fault."

"It's good that you can let it go." Lin Feng smiled. This grudge should finally be laid to rest.
