Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Patriarch’s Order

Xiang Yu also assigned the light clone a crucial side mission of researching the time domain. This wasn’t something he’d decided on randomly or as an afterthought. When the empress had been demonstrating the time domain to them earlier, Xiang Yu had witnessed two distinctly different phenomena that fascinated him beyond measure.

First was witnessing the zone where time still flowed naturally, unaffected by the domain’s influence. The second was witnessing the zone where time didn’t flow at all, completely frozen in an eternal moment. When the empress had activated the time stop ability, his clone hadn’t been positioned within the range of the naturally flowing time and had become part of the stopped time instead.

Since his clones were all essentially him existing simultaneously across multiple bodies, he had experienced what felt like eternity during that brief moment when time was frozen. The sensation was unlike anything he had ever encountered—his consciousness trapped in a single instant that stretched on infinitely while his body remained completely motionless.

During this seemingly endless eternity, he had tried desperately to grasp the underlying workings of the domain, partly to cure the overwhelming boredom of being trapped in frozen time, but mostly out of genuine curiosity about how such power functioned. Through his careful observation and analysis during those timeless moments, he had managed to gain a small understanding—just a tiny fragment of insight into the mechanics of temporal manipulation.

Still, this was merely a small piece of an impossibly complex puzzle, and he remained infinitely far from grasping anything truly tangible or useful. The domain’s workings were so sophisticated and intricate that his brief exposure had only scratched the surface of its mysteries.

But this didn’t discourage him in the slightest. Due to his level ten mind, he retained all the knowledge and sensory memories from that experience, storing every detail in his mind. He wanted the light clone to dedicate significant time to decrypting and studying all this accumulated information, hoping to see if he could gradually piece together how the time domain actually worked.

If he could somehow figure out how to manipulate and control time. "Kekeke, let’s just say..."

He had now assigned roles to all the clones, so it was time to determine his own responsibilities. For himself, he would focus entirely on cultivation and running battle simulations throughout the day. He had initially considered assigning the wind clone to run simulations endlessly, but surprisingly, despite all the clones being extensions of himself, he couldn’t access the system interface through any of the other clones.

It was probably another built-in safety mechanism of the system so he didn’t bother questioning it too deeply, he was just grateful that he had finally achieved his long-held dream. Except for the time he would spend cooking meals or entertaining his junior sister during her visits, he could dedicate his entire day to pure cultivation.

He had finally, truly built the ultimate experience farm he had always envisioned.

He decided to begin with a battle simulation to test his improved abilities. As usual, he selected the Nascent Soul realm version of Li Yao as his opponent. He quickly destroyed the first few combat forms with ease—even the limit break form that he had been equally matched with before was now easily defeated, probably thanks to his recent breakthrough in body refining caused by his bloodline transformations.

Now he could finally face the true challenge, that mysterious new form.

As he stood ready for battle, he saw the world around him suddenly freeze completely, and he quickly turned around. His gaze met the mysterious form for the first time. She looked somewhat like the limit break Li Yao, but her body seemed transformed into pure ice. This ice had countless cracks spreading across its surface, revealing dark miasma seeping through the fractures underneath. She wore an indifferent expression as she stretched out her hand toward him.

He could see her hand moving in slow motion, but he couldn’t move his own body at all. She then clenched her outstretched arm into a fist. Glass-like shards began breaking away from her body, and with that motion, the space around Xiang Yu shattered along with him.

His eyes opened in the physical world, returning to reality.

He thought to himself that even after this improvement, it didn’t make much difference against her. But now he could confirm that she wasn’t actually as strong as he had expected, in fact, her body was even falling apart, it was just that she wielded some sort of space-related domain ability. As long as he had a domain of his own to negate the effect...
