Chapter 2345: He Never Left

Boundless Continent.

Boundless God Mountain.

This is the training ground of Boundless God, where great lords and holy venerables often come to ask about cultivation issues.

Boundless God has also publicly taught cultivation methods, telling powerful beings who have mastered the realm how to continue growing stronger.

"Those outsiders have finally left."

A great lord sighed.

Another great lord fumed: "They come and go as they please, not even putting our world in their eyes!"

"Ah, forget it; after all, we are just a microcosm, incomparable to them."

Many great lords lamented.

They are merely incarnations existing here to contact Boundless God and listen to his cultivation lectures, possessing little combat strength.

On the high platform, a black-clad, short-haired old man—Boundless God—opened his eyes, slightly furrowing his brow.

"Boundless God, what's wrong?" asked the Calamity Law Holy Venerable.

Boundless God replied: "I constantly feel uneasy. That human we failed to kill in the Ancient Mother Tree Space seems not to have left."

"Isn't he already dead? No trace can be found, nor any sign of departure," said the Calamity Law Holy Venerable, puzzled.

Boundless God shook his head: "No, he's definitely not dead. His escape technique is so unique that even I cannot track him; perhaps he fled the Ancient Mother Tree Space and is hiding."

"Yes, as I know, that person's name is Xiao Feng. When the outsiders left yesterday, a line of foreign human text appeared in the sky, meaning 'I, Xiao Feng, will return,'" said a holy venerable in agreement.

The strong ones of this realm are not completely without contact with the outside world; they learn about it through the memories of some deceased trial-takers.

Some understanding.

If not for the restrictions, using their memory-reading methods, they could easily capture all outsiders in one sweep!

"But where did that person go? Even Boundless God can't find him?" many powerhouses wondered.

Boundless God sighed: "I am not omnipotent either. That human's escape art is too special; during flight, his traces are completely undetectable. Boundless Continent is so vast that even my will cannot fully envelop it; if he wishes to hide, he is indeed hard to find."

"But... that's not right either."

The Calamity Law Holy Venerable voiced his confusion: "If that person can escape Boundless God's pursuit and the trial time has come, why doesn't he leave? Leaving here would make him completely safe—why stay?"

"This..."

Everyone was doubtful.

Boundless God also furrowed his brow, unable to think of an answer.

"I always feel that something bad is going to happen..."

Boundless God sighed.

As one of the only two eternal powerhouses on Boundless Continent, his strength is undoubtedly the strongest among the natives.

Yet compared to outsiders' powerhouses, he seems quite ordinary.

Especially some special talents; star-level strength can rival him, even defeat him.

That human named Xiao Feng is undoubtedly a genius as well.

If that fellow breaks through into star-level, he must prepare for a fight to the death...

"Boundless God, no matter what happens, all beings of Boundless Continent will stand together!"

"Yes, unite against the outsiders, never admit defeat, never yield!"

"They can kill us, but don't even think of enslaving us. The beings of our world"

", will never bow to any race of the outer cosmos!"

The great lords and holy venerables, each filled with fighting spirit, showed no fear.

Boundless God felt relieved: "Good, as long as we have this forward‑rushing will, we will someday break free from the outer cosmos' oppression and have our own perfect world."

The powerhouses chatted, and without realizing it brought up cultivation problems.

Afterwards, Boundless God began answering their questions, explaining how to deal with difficulties encountered in cultivation.

Midway through his talk, Boundless God suddenly paused.

"What's wrong, Boundless God?" asked the Chaos God Holy Venerable.

Boundless God shook his head: "Nothing, I just keep feeling as if I'm being watched. It must be that old fellow, the Extermination Slayer Venerable, who hasn't left yet, sigh..."

"One day we will drive them away!" the powerhouses exclaimed indignantly.

"Well then, let's continue." Boundless God continued his lecture.

……

Deep in the Ancient Mother Tree Space, the Heart of the World.

Xiao Feng once again dropped a thread of thought‑spider silk, also recording Boundless God's dojo within it.

"I never imagined that, through the medium of the Heart of the World, my thoughts would become so strong that even Boundless God cannot clearly perceive them. The Heart of the World contributes somewhat, and my own will must also be strong," Xiao Feng thought.

Soon, soon...

His insight into Boundless Continent grows faster and faster, with nothing able to stop him.

After the millennium trial ended, he longed for his parents, wife, and children back home, eager to return.

To go even faster, he further intensified his already focused and dedicated path of perception, increasing speed without lowering precision.

Day by day, year by year, time flew by.

Unbeknownst to him, again

five hundred years passed, and the "continent" region of Boundless Continent had been completely inspected by him.

Every being leaves an imprint in his mind; with a thought, he can even dive into their sea of consciousness to know their memories and emotions.

Even if a being dies, the data about him does not disappear; it is stored and archived, and can be retrieved when needed.

Likewise, newly born beings are found by the thought‑spider silk, added to the "folder," becoming part of what can be known.

Except for Great Lords and above, no living being could resist Xiao Feng's insight.

By the time 1,500 years had passed, Xiao Feng had even inspected part of the memories of weaker Great Lords, gaining a very clear understanding of their past.

And this still wasn't the end.

The continent had been inspected, but there were still the planets and the starry sky, requiring time.

Xiao Feng dared not rush, nor dare to be careless, continuing to repeat the previous operation.

However, compared to the land, the starry sky was much simpler.

Although the starry sky of the Infinite Continent spanned thousands of light-years, celestial bodies were sparse, and living planets were few and far between, posing little difficulty for inspection.

Xiao Feng rapidly skimmed vast expanses of starry sky day by day, and even the distribution of cosmic dust and spatial essence in the starry sky became clear to him.

After another two hundred plus years, when he had been in the Infinite Continent for over 1,730 years, he finally took the final step, reflecting the entire Infinite Continent in his heart.

At this moment, the world held no secrets for him.

All the Great Lords' memories had been inspected by him, except for the memories of twenty-three Holy Sovereign-level powerhouses and two True God-level powerhouses, which were

ones he had never probed.

"What comes next is the true beginning," Xiao Feng murmured in his heart.

Understanding the entire universe was not his ultimate goal.

What he wanted was, after understanding the entire mini-universe, to make it part of himself!

Now, he wants to refine this Heart of the World!
