Chapter 2463: Understanding Time (1/2)
Lin Feng looked at the time river and smiled, “Master Ox, you cheated me.”
The old ox appeared behind Lin Feng, still looking unperturbed, and asked, “You understood?”
“I understood,” he replied.
“Let me tell you though, since you know it. Before, you went to study, and you studied to check that you were wrong. That was wrong, you understood you were wrong, but then, realizing your understanding was erroneous and it turned out to be a great thing in the end, right?” murmured the old ox.
“I understand. Time isn’t a kind of strength, it’s not something you use to attack. Time doesn’t change anything, and it can’t kill people either. It just makes people grow old, that’s all,” said Lin Feng. “Time can’t change things. It’s just something that exists. Water, fire, earth and so on exist too, but they have strength, time doesn’t have strength. It exists, it doesn’t change anything, and that’s all.”
Lin Feng then pointed at the time river and said, “There, time passes because Ganges Time is time original strength itself. Ganges Time is original strength itself. It contains time original strength.”
Meng Qing shivered. Ganges Time was original strength?
“Time is not a fusion of original strength, and decay is something that helps people understand time original strength. This place is pure time original strength, and it’s as powerful as other kinds of original strengths we can study. But this place was created by the earth and the sky themselves,” said Lin Feng.
The old ox smiled and said, “You came here every day to watch the time of the outside world pass, to understand time?”
“No. Time doesn’t change anything. I need to understand slow and fast and make them fuse together with time,” said Lin Feng.
The old ox smiled happily and complimented, “You really understood!”
“Master Ox, you can modify the speed at which time passes because you made fast fuse together with time original strength. Therefore, you can make time pass faster, just like you can make fast fuse together with any other kind of strength to make it faster. Even if the enemy is extremely strong, it doesn’t change anything unless they also understand time strength.
“Ganges Time has the most natural time original strength because it was created by the earth and the sky. It also contains the purest original strengths. With time, original strengths fuse together, slow and fast strengths are an example and that’s why time can pass faster or slower in different places. What I wonder now is… what kind of place is Ganges Time for real?” Lin Feng sighed.
It was a forbidden territory which contained a perfect time strength, and all sorts of original strengths.
“I don’t know, either,” said the old ox smiling, “What do you intend to do now?”
“Sense the strength, of course,” said Lin Feng. He was holding hands with Meng Qing and said, “Meng Qing, you go to Zhe Tian, I’m going out.”
Then he walked away and jumped into the time river.
“Lin Feng!” Meng Qing called out.
The old ox said, “Trust him. Back in the days, it took me thousands of years to understand. He’s stronger than me, trust him.”
“Very well,” Meng Qing smiled. She trusted Lin Feng, of course!

Outside of the time corridor, Mister Time was seated on the grass. In front of him were Zhe Tian and Qiong Sheng.
“Your father is patient,” said Mister Time smiled.
The two were surprised and asked, “Mister Time, what’s wrong with our father?”
“He jumped into the rivers of time,” said Mister Time smiled. “It must feel great. You should also go there. It would be a new place.”
——
Actually, Lin Feng didn’t feel great at all. After jumping into the time river, he laid there and closed his eyes. He was all alone, lonely.
Lin Feng didn’t sense slow or fast. When original strengths fused together, it was impossible to sense them individually. Time was the main aspect.
“Fast and slow,” murmured Lin Feng. He wanted to fuse original strengths together. First he had to reach the maximum level, and he had the impression that his slow and fast original strengths weren’t far from reaching the maximum level.
“If my slow and fast original strengths reached the maximum level in time strength, and that I fused them together with earth, empty space, and water original strengths at the maximum level, I would definitely be able to win the battle. However, so many years have passed, how many years have passed in the outside world?” Lin Feng didn’t know. After all, he couldn’t leave Ganges Time.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Court of the Continent of the Nine Clouds felt like a dream. People understood that the agreement might change the fate of the whole world. So many strong cultivators were gathering at the Fortune Shrine.
