Chapter 3528 - Unafraid of Karma

Although Feng Qing Yang had always known this place was not simple, he did not expect it to be intentionally left behind by a supreme powerhouse. He had thought his initial assumptions were quite bold when he speculated the place was left behind by a Lord of Gods or an Emperor of Gods who was inferior to Supreme Gods. Who knew it was actually left behind by a supreme powerhouse who was far superior to Supreme Gods?

Feng Qing Yang had previously heard that supreme powerhouses’ attendants were all Supreme Gods. Based on this, one could imagine how powerful supreme powerhouses were. Hence, how could he not be shocked when he learned from Duan Ling Tian that this place was left behind by a supreme powerhouse?

“The final tunnel leads to the real legacy of a supreme powerhouse?” Although Feng Qing Yang lived for more than tens of thousands of years and experienced many things in his life, he still could help but feel excited upon learning he had passed the tests of a supreme powerhouse and stood a chance of inheriting the supreme powerhouse’s legacy. Even for someone as level-headed as him, it took him a while to calm down. This was not surprising; after all, even Kings of Gods, Lords of Gods, Emperors of Gods, and Supreme Gods would be excited by such a revelation.

Supreme powerhouses were the most powerful beings in existence with long lifespans.

…

At this time, the World Cleansing Divine Water revealed another shocking piece of information to Duan Ling Tian.

“Generally, only dying supreme powerhouses would leave their legacy behind…”

“Sister Water, are you sure?” Duan Ling Tian was surprised. After all, supreme powerhouses were so strong that he could not imagine them dying.

“I am sure,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said confidently, “After all, if a supreme powerhouse wants a successor, all he or she needs to do is say the word; there’d be many people scrambling to inherit the legacy of a supreme powerhouse. Moreover, the influence of a supreme powerhouse is beyond your imagination. If they want to find a successor, it’s incomparably easy. They’re the strongest existence in the world; every word and movement can determine the lives of tens of thousands of people. The supreme powerhouse who left behind his legacy here likely didn’t have much time left and could only search for a successor in this manner before he perished. It’s likely he regretted not having a successor when he was at the end of his life…”

Duan Ling Tian sighed upon hearing the World Cleansing Divine Water’s theory. Perhaps, this was what it meant to be lonely at the top. As the strongest existence in this world, it was likely they did not think they would die. Only when they were on the brink of death did they regret not finding a successor earlier. Perhaps, some would not care if they had someone to inherit their legacies or not. However, to those who cared, they would spare no effort in ensuring their legacies would be passed down.

The World Cleansing Divine Water continued to say, “However, if your master decides to inherit the legacy, he’ll likely be tainted by the supreme powerhouse’s karma. If your master becomes a supreme powerhouse, it’s likely the person who killed the supreme powerhouse will seek revenge from your master even if the supreme powerhouse who left his legacy here didn’t ask your master to avenge him… To the murderer, your master would be his enemy. Imagine finding out the opponent he had killed had successfully found someone to inherit his legacy… How could the killer allow a possible threat to live?”

“There are differences in strength between supreme powerhouses as well. It doesn’t mean one would be stronger just because one lived longer. Hence, the killer will worry about your master surpassing him in strength once your master becomes a supreme powerhouse. With all this said, it’s likely the killer will try to kill your master before your master grows stronger…”

Duan Ling Tian’s heart sank when he heard these words. It seemed like it was not a complete blessing to inherit the supreme powerhouse’s legacy.

The World Cleansing Divine Water continued to say, “In fact, the same applies to the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity in your possession. It must have been left behind before the supreme powerhouse died. Since you comprehended the law of space using the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, it’s inevitable that when you cast the law of space, it would contain traces of influence from the supreme powerhouse. At that time, the killer might mistake you for his successor and kill you if they find you…”

Duan Ling Tian was surprised by these words. He had been worried about his master, but he did not expect that he had also been tainted by the karma of the supreme powerhouse who left the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity behind.

However, he did not regret it when he recalled how much he had improved thanks to the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. He said determinedly, “I’ve gained a lot from the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. If I become a supreme powerhouse in the future, and the killer comes looking for me, I’ll surely kill him to avenge the owner of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.”

Not only was Duan Ling Tian unafraid, but he was also determined to avenge the supreme powerhouse who left the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity behind. After all, he had never liked owing others. Although his old friend, Huang Jia Long, was the one who gifted him the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity, he still could not help but feel he owed the owner of the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. Therefore, he was determined to repay the favor by avenging that supreme powerhouse if he encountered the killer in the future. This was one of his principles in life.

Following that, Duan Ling Tian told Feng Qing Yang about everything the World Cleansing Divine Water had said.

After listening to Duan Ling Tian’s words, Feng Qing Yang smiled faintly before he replied, “So be it. It’s fine if the killer doesn’t come looking for me. However, if he does, I’ll surely kill him!”

Duan Ling Tian smiled upon hearing his master’s reply. As it turned out, he and his master were really alike.

After a moment, Feng Qing Yang sent another message. “Alright. It’s best that you focus on comprehending the law of time now. Come out when you’re done comprehending all the profundities. I’m really glad you weren’t ejected from the room. It seems like the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth helped you. However, I’m really surprised the room didn’t repel your daughter… She definitely has a bright future ahead of her…”

Feng Qing Yang was generous with his praise for Duan Si Ling. Although he had suggested that Duan Ling Tian let his family and friends try to comprehend the law of time in the room, he did not expect any of them to be able to stay in the room. Hence, he was very surprised when he learned Duan Si Ling was able to stay in the room despite not having formed or comprehended any of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth.

“Master, I’ll introduce my daughter and the others to you once we leave the Asura Hell. Previously, I didn’t have a chance to introduce them to you since they were cultivating… Now that most of them are awake, it’s time I introduce you to them…” Duan Ling Tian replied.

“Alright,” Feng Qing Yang said, “Focus on comprehending the law of time for now.”

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian fully immersed himself in comprehending the law of time’s profundities in the room. He found the process of comprehension was really easy. After all, he had to rely on himself to comprehend the law of space even if he possessed the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity. It was unlike this place where all he needed to do was grasp the energies with his Divine Consciousness to comprehend the profundities from the law of time.

…

Time continued flying by as Duan Ling Tian comprehended the law of time.

Duan Ling Tian had also lost all track of time as he focused on comprehending all nine profundities, including the Elemental Profundity, from the law of time.

At this time, he had already comprehended all nine profundities to the mastery stage, but he had yet to fuse them. He also discovered he no longer obtained anything from the energies in the room.

“Hmm?” When Duan Ling Tian opened his eyes, he saw his daughter sitting cross-legged across from him and looked at him with bright eyes.

“Father, have you comprehended all the profundities from the law of time as well?” Duan Si Ling asked.

“You’ve comprehended all of them, Si Ling?” Duan Ling Tian asked in return, surprised. It seemed like his daughter comprehended the law of time faster than he did.

Duan Si Ling grinned. “Father, I’ve been exposed to the law of time before so I have a foundation. Hence, it’s only natural that I comprehended it faster than you did. This place is really miraculous. In the past, my comprehension speed was very slow. However, I immediately comprehended the profundities as soon as I grasped the energies here with my Divine Consciousness. In the end, I managed to comprehend all the profundities to the mastery stage!”
