Chapter 2413: The Karma That Must Be Borne

In the time domain, time passes tracelessly; even if it's thousands or tens of thousands of years, it's merely a snap of the fingers.

In the main universe, Xiao Feng and his family drank tea and chatted; the Xiao Feng of the new universe's comprehension surged forward.

One second equals a thousand years; one day equals over thirty million years.

The two people on the Law Source Core Divine Mountain hardly moved, constantly focusing on comprehension.

Although they occasionally rested, it was just a brief pause to let their souls digest recent gains, without fully relaxing.

Unbeknownst to them, forty million years passed within the domain.

Chen Jie had stopped comprehending.

After finishing a session of comprehension, Xiao Feng asked her: 'Sister, have you finished refining?'

Chen Jie nodded slightly: 'After letting go of obsession, my state of mind became much more open, and my comprehension progressed rapidly. Although I have abandoned the Heart of Time, my strength is far greater than at my previous peak.'

'That's truly congratulations, Sister!' Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling happy for her.

The Heart of Time is a treasure of law in the main universe; in terms of grade, it is at least 14th tier, possibly even 15th!

With her current strength, if she were to regain the Heart of Time, she would surely become even stronger; the Source Realm may not be far off.

'Hmm, how about you, what are your gains now?' Chen Jie smiled slightly, no longer the cold, unapproachable demeanor of before, feeling much more approachable.

Hearing that, Xiao Feng replied: 'I have devotedly comprehended for over forty million years; I have now brought over three hundred laws to the pinnacle of the Dao realm. Although none are at the Dao Ancestor level, I feel that if I returned to the main universe, there would be a qualitative change.'

Law

By merely slowly comprehending from the surface inward, he unconsciously absorbed over three hundred laws to a half‑clear state.

If the time domain were to expand infinitely, in a few hundred million years he might become like Chen Li, a Source Realm powerhouse who commands countless laws.

Chen Jie hearing this couldn't help but wryly smile: 'Although I should be happy for you, the more you comprehend, the greater the karma I must bear. When the time domain retracts, this avatar of mine will surely shatter on the spot.'

'Ah? Then… maybe we should just end it like this; I can't hurt you for my own sake.' Xiao Feng hurriedly said, not wanting to damage the Dao Ancestor Sister's origin for his own strength.

But Chen Jie just smiled and shook his head: 'No problem, it's just an avatar; if it dies, it dies, and it doesn't harm the true body. We are now in the new universe; the karma here won't affect our main‑universe selves. Not to mention merely forcing open a time domain—even if we slaughtered all beings here, the new universe's Cosmic Will couldn't harm me.'

'This…'

Xiao Feng couldn't help but be moved.

This means the Dao Ancestor of the main universe can do as they please in the new universe without having to bear any consequences?

That's too…

'However, a hundred million years is already my limit; my avatar's strength is limited, so I can't help you steal more time.' Chen Jie added.

Cleary, given that the avatar fears neither karma nor death, she can do her best to secure benefits for Xiao Feng.

But even if she fought until the avatar shattered and vanished, her limit is only here; she cannot steal more time.

'Enough, enough, this is enough!'

Xiao Feng hurriedly said, his heart already content.

Chen Jie added: 'Speaking of which, after my avatar shatters, excess karma might continue to spread onto you; your true body will likely also suffer calamity, being retaliated against by the Cosmic Will. The process probably won't be too direct; it will be more subtle, using enemies to besiege you as retribution.'

'Besiege?' Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised.

Chen Jie explained: 'The Cosmic Will differs from human thought; sometimes it is rigid. It will not make life difficult for beings beneath the Dao Ancestor unless you commit a grave mistake. If the Dao Ancestor errs, the Cosmic Will may directly revoke the license of the law ocean, causing them to fall to the Ancestor Realm. As for you, since you haven't reached that level, the most extreme retaliation the Cosmic Will can inflict is merely to make all beings in the universe hostile toward you, without directly erasing your cultivation achievements.'

Xiao Feng suddenly understood.

In that case, the Cosmic Will is like a stiff program that can be understood and seen through.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary universes.

If someone like Chen Li were to merge with the universe and become the Lord of the Universe, that would be another matter.

'There are still tens of millions of years to prepare; by then I estimate I could have Super Eternal‑level comprehension. Although my strength would be insufficient, holding off for a while would still be fine.' Xiao Feng self‑analyzed.

Chen Jie smiled faintly: 'If I truly can't win, the worst is death. Aren't you already capable of infinite rebirth? You can reclaim comprehension into other true bodies; losing this body would be no problem.'

'Uh… you know about this too? Did your father tell you?' Xiao Feng asked in surprise.

He only told his family and a few friends about his occupation of the Infinite Continent, not the human race.

Other strong ones have spoken of it.

Chen Jie chuckled: 'Idiot, you keep calling me Dao Ancestor Sister—don't you know my abilities? The Dao Ancestor can perceive the universe; I can calculate whatever happens in the main universe. Not to mention your seizure of the Infinite Continent, I know exactly how many times and how long you've been with your wives in the Infinite Continent.'

'Uh, this…'

Xiao Feng's old face turned red.

Dao Ancestor Sister remains as bold as ever in speaking, actually using such words to express her omniscience.

Xiao Feng felt a bit embarrassed.

However, the atmosphere is now relaxed, so there's no need for excessive pressure.

He laughed and said: 'Then when will you, Sister, also come give it a try?'

Chen Jie sneered: 'You're not yet a Dao Ancestor, so you have no right to bring that up.'

'Like that…'

Xiao Feng made a gesture of dejection.

He then teased: 'Back then you said the avatar could fulfill all my fantasies, letting me do whatever I wanted. Now you're also an avatar here—why not indulge me a little?'

Chen Jie said: 'Back when I fell into a heart demon, you brat took advantage of the opening; not strangling you was just my old ancestor's benevolence. You still dare to make demands—aren't you afraid my old ancestor will give you a permanent castration, depriving you of your manhood in all past and future time?'

'Uh… can it really be like that?' Xiao Feng couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

I've heard of erasing a person across every time from past to future, but I've never heard of the method of wiping out a man's foundation across every spacetime from past to future.

As expected of the Dao Ancestor Sister, who is the Lord of Time, she sure plays it slick!

However, Xiao Feng is utterly unafraid!

He laughed and said: 'Sister, saying that makes you a bit unjust,'

I certainly didn't take advantage of the situation; when I knew your state of mind was off, I had always been restrained. Come to think of it, it was you who first took the initiative—how can you now blame me?

'Hey, you brat, looks like you need a beating!'

Chen Jie glared, jumped up, and gave him a beating right there.

Inside the time domain, without going out, the range of activity may be small, but beating a person is still easy.

Xiao Feng's legs were broken, then immediately reattached and he kept fighting, the scene was horribly tragic.

After the fight, she sat down again and said lightly, "Next time watch what you say—I'm not comparable to those weak women in your family."

Xiao Feng picked up his own broken arm, repaired it with the law of matter, and gave a wry smile: "All right, since sis is so fierce, I can only wait for you to take the initiative next time."
