# Chapter 2462: Deceived
The time flow within Lin Feng's inner world was consistent with the time flow of the space he occupied. Within his own world, Lin Feng began forging numerous opportunities, even forging sacred fortune. At the same time, he had Zhetian and Meng Qing come out to cultivate together, while he himself went to find Old Man Shi.
"Senior." Lin Feng stood before Old Man Shi, slightly bowing, very respectful.
"What business does this little fellow have with this old man?" Old Man Shi squinted at Lin Feng with a smile and said.
"Senior says that my son's talent is his own, and I naturally don't believe that. But since Senior is guiding my son, I won't interfere. I only want to ask, what is the time flow difference between here and the outside world?" Lin Feng asked.
"I see a fierce aura on you. I'm afraid you have a great calamity approaching." Old Man Shi said jokingly, not answering Lin Feng's question. Then he said, "Go. Don't ask too many questions. I won't tell you anything."
"Senior, I have important matters to attend to." Lin Feng's expression tightened.
"Then just leave on your own." Old Man Shi said indifferently, causing Lin Feng's pupils to contract. He was speechless. However, Old Man Shi's gaze fixed on Lin Feng, and then he said, "Little Ox, since you've seen me, why haven't you come out to play?"
Lin Feng's expression stiffened, and his heart shook violently, surging with enormous waves. Little Ox?
Light flashed, and without Lin Feng's mental command, Old Ox's body directly appeared outside. He placed his four hooves forward, looking at Old Man Shi, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Old Man Shi."
"Haha, it's been many years. Little Ox has become so powerful." When Old Man Shi laughed, his eyes narrowed into slits. Lin Feng's heart, however, churned even more violently. Old Ox had once said that many years ago, he and his master had been to the Ganges Time River. It was then that he had comprehended the power of time. And now, Old Man Shi was telling him it had been a long time. Clearly, Old Man Shi had existed back then.
Even more terrifying was that with Old Ox's strength, he was actually paying respects to Old Man Shi. So what level was Old Man Shi...?
"Senior Ox." Lin Feng transmitted a message to Old Ox.
"Don't transmit messages. You can't hide it from Old Man Shi's ears." Old Ox said directly, "Lin Feng, don't worry about anything. Don't ask about your child either. Go."
Lin Feng's expression froze. Then he nodded slightly and withdrew with a shaken heart. The Ganges Time River—was this the secret of the forbidden land, the Ganges Time River?
After Lin Feng left, Old Ox walked up to Old Man Shi, then prostrated himself and said, "Old Man Shi, back then, thanks to your guidance, this little ox had the opportunity to comprehend the power of time. This time, will you make a move to help Lin Feng?"
"Help?" Old Man Shi squinted and shook his head. "I didn't guide him here. His two sons were also lucky to arrive here. Anyone who can enter the Ganges Time River and survive, I will help—just like that girl. But this kid, this old man won't bother with him."
"Then did the Divine Phoenix Clan's Shen Nu Xuan also come here?" Old Ox asked in surprise.
"No. She went to another resting place of mine. I conveniently gave her some benefits. I didn't expect that girl to come again. She's really bold. This is greed." Old Man Shi shook his head with a smile.
"What about Lin Feng? Isn't Old Man Shi planning to send him out?" Old Ox asked again.
"He came on his own. What does that have to do with me? But I do quite like his sons. I hope they stay here forever to accompany this old man. Occasionally, I'll take them out for a spin to see something fresh." Old Man Shi seemed to think of something interesting, and his eyes narrowed again.
"Is Old Man Shi taking them as disciples?" Old Ox's heart trembled slightly. He inwardly marveled at the incredible luck of Lin Feng's two sons. Such an opportunity—no one else in the Nine Heavens had it, right? Their luck was far better than their father's.
"I didn't say that. In my life, I've only taken one disciple. But that disciple was too unambitious. He actually ran away, leaving this old man alone. He's out there enjoying himself. If I ever see him again, I'll break his legs." Although Old Man Shi said this, his narrowed eyes revealed a faint smile.
"Little Ox wants to ask one last question. Master... is he still alive?" Old Ox's body trembled slightly. This was the answer he had been seeking for many years.
"I said I won't tell you anything." Old Man Shi squinted and smiled. "Don't try to fish for information from me. I just want to watch the excitement this time."
Old Ox sighed inwardly. It seemed impossible to get anything out of him. The other party simply wouldn't reveal anything, just like the last time he came here. Back then, Old Man Shi had helped him but ignored his master. In the end, his master had angrily taken him and left. Thinking back, what kind of figure was his master? He had never suffered such treatment.
"By the way, I can tell you one thing." At that moment, Old Man Shi looked at Old Ox, rekindling a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"I wasn't lying to that kid at all just now. His aura of fortune is getting weaker and weaker. Maybe he'll be very unlucky in the future. But then again, misfortune is also a form of growth." Old Man Shi blinked. Those narrow, squinting eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything in the world.
As for the conversation between Old Man Shi and Old Ox, Lin Feng knew nothing about it. Nor could he guess what kind of existence Old Man Shi was. Even Zhetian and Qiong Sheng refused to say a word. Of course, Lin Feng didn't blame the two little ones. Old Man Shi was so terrifying that even Old Ox was respectful. Those two little ones must have been instructed and made promises to the other party, so naturally they couldn't speak recklessly—not even to their own father.
Lin Feng stepped into the Time Corridor. According to Zhetian, as long as one was careful within a thousand-mile radius of this Time Corridor, there would be no life-threatening danger. Before long, water-type origin power appeared before Lin Feng, flowing gurglingly through a corridor, blocking his path.
"Origin power born from heaven and earth." Lin Feng walked forward, then sat cross-legged, gazing at the flowing water ahead.
"Water... flowing, soft, seemingly formless—these are its characteristics. However, water can freeze. It can also reach extreme cold. Once water reaches its boiling point, it can scald people. In my past life, the scalding power of water vapor was sometimes more terrifying than fire." Lin Feng murmured to himself. These were all characteristics of water.
Water could also be arbitrarily decomposed, infinitely decomposed. A single drop of water splashing on the ground could instantly scatter into many drops. Water could also coalesce. When a current of water gathered together, forming a waterfall or a torrent, it contained terrifying impact force.
"I need to comprehend all the characteristics of water to achieve a single-element origin great perfection." Lin Feng whispered, closing his eyes. He began to dismantle the water-type origin power, slowly experiencing it piece by piece, and finally merging it all together to form a complete water-type origin great perfection. This was the experience Lin Feng had gained from comprehending the previous great perfection origin powers.
While Lin Feng was peacefully comprehending, Zhetian and Qiong Sheng appeared at the other end of the corridor. They looked at Lin Feng, their expressions flickering.
"Zhetian, why is Old Man Shi willing to help us but unwilling to help Father?" Qiong Sheng transmitted a message to Zhetian.
"What kind of existence Old Man Shi is, you can probably guess a little. His thoughts are hard for us to understand. Over the years, our experiences have been nothing short of dreamlike." Zhetian transmitted back.
"Yes. Old Man Shi seems to wander freely, but in reality, he almost never interferes in external affairs. No matter what happens. Remember last time, in front of Old Man Shi, you almost died, and he didn't even move."
"Not almost—he never interferes." Zhetian's eyes flickered. "Qiong Sheng, let's also cultivate hard. I want to try and see if I can merge two types of origin power together within a hundred years."
"Yes, good." Qiong Sheng nodded, and the two left together.
In the Ganges Time River, things were simple. Lin Feng spent his days comprehending. He comprehended water-type great perfection. Then, he went to his own world and forged sacred fortune. He had the group he was cultivating practice. They had all cultivated the Heavenly Derivation Scripture. Every ten years, Lin Feng would lecture them on the sacred path. To those who excelled, he would infuse them with sacred fortune. Finally, in the fiftieth year, within Lin Feng's inner world time, a saint was actually born.
At this moment, Lin Feng stood at the edge of a corridor, gazing ahead. There, it seemed, was an illusory long river—the River of Time. Every time he came here, Lin Feng would feel that artistic conception of time.
"Fast and slow—these two powers, their endpoint is time. The power of time. If one could fully control it, one could accelerate the flow of time or slow it down. This is the application of fast and slow in time—a qualitative change, from altering the flow of space to influencing time itself."
"I wonder how much time has passed outside." Lin Feng sighed, then turned and left this place. But every three days, he would return, standing in this same spot, staring blankly at the River of Time outside.
Time passed mercilessly. One day, Meng Qing, who had stepped into the Saint Realm, came here with Lin Feng. She leaned against Lin Feng and said with a smile, "Time easily passes, but some things, even time cannot change."
"Cannot change?" Lin Feng was stunned, looking at Meng Qing.
"Yes. Do you think time can change everything? After a thousand years, after ten thousand years, would you abandon me?" Meng Qing smiled, looking at Lin Feng.
"Yes... there are things that cannot be changed. What can time change?" Lin Feng suddenly froze. Time—what could it change? With different time flows, if he attacked here, wouldn't the power be the same as attacking outside?
Time... time!
Lin Feng's body trembled violently. Then, he laughed. He had been deceived—deceived by the world, and also deceived by himself!
