Chapter 449: The Mysterious Realm and the Legacy of Time
Chapter 449: The Mysterious Realm and the Legacy of Time
"It's probably like this! Xiao Shi seems to have an indescribable connection with the legendary River of Time.
This feeling is beyond the capabilities of humans, beastmasters, and even the beasts themselves.
I can't imagine how Xiao Shi managed to master this ability. It's as if the River of Time itself granted this skill to Xiao Shi."
But time doesn't have a manifested will, and this situation is unheard of..."
Ye Zou, who had just woken up after disembarking from the Proud Dragon, continued to chatter in Su Ping's ear.
Su Ping tapped his ear, then reluctantly turned to Ye Zou, "So, in all these days, apart from cultivating the Time Projection skill, what else have you been up to?"
With the cultivation methods obtained from Jiang Xuanji, Ye Zou should have been able to cultivate the Time Projection skill, even if it was a higher-tier skill, as long as the conditions were met.
However, it was natural that this guy, after all, the more stable versions of the skill.
"I tried the skill that Jiang Shi used to resurrect people from history, but..." Ye Zou nodded.
Su Ping's eyes narrowed slightly, and he also focused his Gaze:
He was just as enthusiastic about cultivating this skill as he was about cultivating the Southern Ming Departed Flame.
However, there was an order to things.
Moreover, Xiao Shi's priority was still lower than Xiao Huomiao's due to the order of their arrival.
If Ye Zou could make some progress on his own, that would be ideal.
Noticing Su Ping's gaze, Ye Zou shrugged and then shook his head, "There's been no progress at all. Xiao Shi can indeed manipulate time, and with repeated use, he can even lock onto some traces and anchor points in the River of Time. If the remaining aura is strong enough and the time span is not too great, Xiao Shi can observe and project the past through Time Projection, but that's it. The projection is meaningless, lacking memory, emotion, self-action, and even the ability to generate ripples."
Su Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, also falling into deep thought. He could guess the ultimate challenge of this skill, which was stuck at this point.
Before he could think further, a figure quickly approached from a distance and stopped in front of them.
After a month, Huang Tianbing appeared, his eyes filled with emotion as he looked at Su Ping, making Su Ping's skin crawl.
Su Ping cleared his throat, "Alright, tell me about this mysterious realm. Have people entered it already?"
Huang Tianbing scratched his head, "We've entered once, but we only explored a little. The time flow at the entrance became chaotic, so the exploration team withdrew to avoid causing a more significant impact."
Su Ping nodded, "Let's not waste time. Since we're here, let's go in!"
This time, Su Ping's primary purpose was to trade the Scorching Soul with Huang Tianbing.
Although he had some interest in this time-related realm, it wasn't his top priority.
There were still many matters to attend to in the Heart of All Souls.
Wearing the pre-prepared monitoring and protective equipment, Su Ping and Ye Zou, escorted by ten fully-armed Sovereign-level beastmasters from the Heaven Gazing Bureau, entered the mysterious realm.
A flash of light, and the familiar feeling of spatial teleportation returned, but this time, with the breakthrough to the Sovereign realm, there was no more sense of dizziness.
It was as if a curtain of water was being squeezed, and in a flash of light, Su Ping found himself in another world.
Surprisingly, this mysterious realm was different from all the others he had entered before.
Previously, all the realms he had visited were primarily natural environments.
Despite the differences in terrain, they are all essentially part of the natural world.
However, this secret realm was unlike any other. There was no sky, no ocean, no forests, and in a sense, even the existence of the earth itself was somewhat vague.
They found themselves in a room, or more accurately, within the ruins of a grand hall.
The hall was in a state of severe disrepair, as if it had been weathered by time, with spider webs and mottled marks covering its surfaces.
It was like an old house forgotten in the cracks of time.
But that was just the way it was.
Su Ping and Ye Zou were not here to explore.
The ten members of the Heaven Gazing Bureau immediately summoned their bonded beasts, and although Su Ping and Ye Zou also summoned a few, their help wasn't needed for combat.
Su Ping followed behind the ten.
Even in a time-related secret realm, there were very few time-based bonded beasts.
As he trailed behind, Su Ping didn't spot a single time-based bonded beast or monster.
There were only some elemental bonded beasts present.
Most of them were Earth Element Golems, rare but not unheard of. After seeing a few, Su Ping quickly lost interest.
Even Xiao Qing and Ye Zou, upon seeing these opponents, showed no interest in engaging them.
As they explored room after room, even the elemental undead like Stone Golems became scarce.
Meanwhile, Ye Zou, who had initially been bored, became increasingly intrigued as he examined the grand hall beneath their feet.
With each room they traversed, Ye Zou would spend a good while wandering around.
"What are you doing?" Su Ping asked, perplexed.
"I'm searching for information about the owner of this secret realm! This place is not ordinary! This secret realm is very peculiar." Ye Zou replied.
Su Ping's eyebrows shot up.
This was precisely why he had brought Ye Zou along.
When it came to time-related matters, this guy was the real deal. With the inheritance from Jiang Xuanji, his understanding and research in time-based beast taming far surpassed that of ordinary time-based beast tamers.
However, upon hearing Ye Zou's words, Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
In fact, he had an indescribable feeling about this place.
The palace's rooms were highly similar, almost identical, yet interconnected, forming a vast maze.
But he had an indescribable feeling about the structure of this secret realm.
This feeling wasn't some sixth sense, but a genuine innate perception.
Indeed!
Among the many useless talents Su Ping had awakened, there were a few that proved useful in critical moments.
One such talent was 'Historical Echo', which he had obtained when he activated the Book of Time as a child, causing the Book of Time Records to light up.
Su Ping hadn't paid much attention to this talent.
Its effect was relatively simple: in places with strong time-based traces, there was a chance to glimpse a portion of history.
Su Ping himself couldn't see the use of this ability.
However, upon entering this secret realm, he felt as if this talent was constantly resonating within him.
But when he tried to focus and use it to see something, he saw nothing.
Unfortunately, due to the torment he had endured as a child, he had told the little guy in his Beast Control Space that he needed rest, and so he hadn't summoned him to take a look at the secret realm.
"What have you figured out?" Su Ping asked directly.
Ye Zou shook his head and then unexpectedly nodded: "I have an idea, but I can't confirm it yet. If I'm not mistaken, this secret realm should be a heritage secret realm!"
Huh? Su Ping was taken aback and looked at Ye Zou in surprise.
Even the members of the Heaven Gazing Bureau were astonished by Ye Zou's words. The team leader spoke up, "Young Ye, although you're young and talented, you might lack experience in exploring secret realms. This place has no leftover information, no traces of beast tamers, and no concentrated secret realm spirit. There's no connection to a heritage secret realm, right? This secret realm is just a remnant left by an immortal sage."
Ye Zou smiled but didn't say more.
Then, he stopped paying attention, acting like he didn't have a care in the world, following Su Ping as if they were on a leisurely outing rather than exploring a secret realm.
Seeing this, the beast tamers from the Heaven Gazing Bureau didn't say anything further.
These two young masters didn't understand the true dangers and hardships. Fortunately, there haven't realized how rare and valuable this secret realm is. There are no traces of powerful bonded beasts, not even one at the peak of the Sovereign rank."
The ancient and dilapidated palace, with its intricate design, seemed to be restored to a brand-new state right before everyone's eyes.
As they continued to retreat, with each step back, the palace seemed to rewind countless years.
The once-shabby palace transformed, its surface becoming smooth and radiant, emitting a divine glow.
The seemingly endless maze-like palace, with its ever-shifting corridors, now solidified into a peculiar door, blocking their path to further exploration.
The smaller shrines vanished, replaced by a majestic voice resonating through the air:
"Young Beast Master with a dazzling time-related talent! Your acute perception of time grants you the qualification to know the master's identity and inherit their legacy..."
