Chapter 451: Secret Realm Harvest! Fourth Rank Sovereign!
Chapter 451: Secret Realm Harvest! Fourth Rank Sovereign!
The experience points from the Dragon Chart were nothing to write home about.
Even though a branch was unlocked, the time left behind by Celestial Dragon was too brief.
However, the warm and lustrous Dragon Orb in his hand, shimmering with a faint glow, caught Su Ping's attention.
Furthermore, holding this Dragon Orb, the Dragon Seal on his palm, and the Dragon Seal in his mind, all seemed to stir with a hint of excitement.
Even the Book of Ten Thousand Beings seemed to be drawn by this excitement.
Although this excitement was barely noticeable.
Su Ping didn't rush to inquire further. He looked at Celestial Dragon, whom he had only known for a few minutes but felt a strong connection with, and clasped his hands respectfully, saying, "Thank you, Senior. If one day, the skill cultivation of the Little Hourglass is successful, I will find a way to revive you from the Time River!"
Upon hearing these words, Celestial Dragon was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter.
"Little guy, revival in the Time River? Unless there truly exists a legendary being who has achieved the mythical status in the Time Domain, it's impossible! This peculiar little thing indeed seems to hold many secrets, but I advise you not to waste too much effort in this regard. Even my master, with his long life, couldn't escape the cycle of life and death. A person's life is something all beings envy. If you have the chance, use your time for something more meaningful!"
The pages of the Little Hourglass quickly unfolded, revealing lines of text:
'Old Dragon, don't use your narrow-mindedness to imagine the future of this Dragon King! In the Time River, I've seen countless people like you who deny others based on their limited knowledge. The Time River never stops, and the infinite possibilities of the future are not something you can deny. As a Time Domain Holy Spirit, if you don't even understand this, it's no wonder you can't become a legend!'
This sentence appeared, and its power was not weak at all.
Upon seeing this, Celestial Dragon floated in the air, dumbfounded.
Su Ping, noticing this, quickly patted the Little Hourglass and then clasped his hands again, saying, "Please don't take offense, Senior. This little guy has a lofty spirit, but he doesn't mean to disrespect you."
Celestial Dragon didn't speak. Just as Su Ping was worried that he might be truly angry, he let out a sigh of relief.
"The little guy is right. Even my master, when his life was nearing its end, regretted that all his energy had been spent on futile attempts to prolong his life.
Indeed, the Time River never stops, and who can truly know the future? I never thought that at this moment of impending demise, someone would teach me such a lesson."
Seeing that he wasn't angry, Su Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little guy, since that's the case, what step have you reached?"
Celestial Dragon's long life made him unconcerned about such a minor matter.
Moreover, in a sense, the Little Hourglass was also right. It was the Little Hourglass who had initially looked down on him.
Su Ping didn't hide anything, although most of the cultivation was done by Ye Zou. However, as the master of the Little Hourglass's destiny contract, Su Ping reluctantly took credit for its labor.
Additionally, Su Ping wanted to see if this Celestial Dragon, who seemed to be a Holy Spirit Rank Year Beast in his previous life, could offer any assistance as a Time Domain being.
As expected, upon hearing Su Ping's account of the cultivation challenges and the current situation of the Little Hourglass, Celestial Dragon was shocked: "You can enter the Time River? And based on this ability, you can even condense the corresponding Time Projection... Time Shuttle, Time Projection? No wonder... No wonder you, little guy, have the confidence to truly achieve it.
But... how do you transfer the consciousness and memories from the Time River into the Time Projection at the current Time Anchor Point, achieving a true rebirth of consciousness?"
When it came to this problem that even Ye Zou couldn't solve, Celestial Dragon also fell into deep thought.
Then, amidst Su Ping's disappointment, Celestial Dragon slowly shook his head:
"The Time River... I can't even imagine how you entered it and swam against the current, let alone lead another consciousness and soul into it!"
As expected!
The power of Time Shuttle was such that even the present Celestial Dragon, let alone the Wax Dragon of Dragon City, wouldn't understand the principle behind the skill.
This ability was beyond the scope of even a Time Domain companion beast to offer much advice on.
However, Celestial Dragon continued, "But since you can achieve Time Shuttle and swim against the Time River, it's already enough! I now fully believe that you can do it.
If you truly succeed, little friend, please don't revive me. If possible, let my master see this great world after so many years! Also, please tell my master that I failed him..."
Su Ping's eyebrows rose as he watched Celestial Dragon, who seemed to be speaking his final words. A thought stirred in his heart: "Senior, what are you..."
"My master has found a suitable successor. The challenges he set up have all been completed by that other little guy in such a short time. So, I must go and help him obtain the final inheritance."
The Celestial Dragon's voice gradually became hollow, and its physical form slowly transformed from a solid state into a phantasmal appearance.
It then completely disappeared from Su Ping's sight.
The time barrier that had blocked them also gradually vanished, and Su Ping's figure appeared before the other members of the Heaven Gazing Bureau, as well as the Cloud Saint, Huang Tianbing, and Dragon Two.
Su Ping took out the Celestial Dragon's time orb, gently caressed it with his fingers, and slowly closed his eyes.
In his psychic perception, he sensed a wondrous scene within the transparent agate-like orb.
This scene was similar to the one Little Flame had shown him before.
It was a memory viewed from a third-person perspective.
Moreover, the scene was conveyed at an incredibly rapid pace, like a revolving lantern or a rapid slideshow flashing before his eyes.
However, as soon as Su Ping focused his attention and slightly concentrated, he could lock onto all the memories of that region.
Su Ping took a quick glance and indeed found some unique content.
For instance, he saw the figure of the Immortal Sage from that era and even witnessed the process of cultivating and raising a pet companion, along with the sage's insights.
In a sense, the Celestial Dragon's orb could be considered another form of the Immortal Sage's legacy.
It was just a clever method that Celestial Dragon used, considering he held high hopes for himself.
Su Ping smiled and shook his head.
For Celestial Dragon, the master's legacy was the most precious and important thing, but for Su Ping, the value of this item wasn't something he held dear.
He'll check it out when he gets home and see what's causing the connection to the Book of Ten Thousand Beings and the Dragon Seal!
With that thought, Su Ping stored the time orb in his Beast Control Space and calmly turned his attention to the place where the time legacy was located.
It didn't take long for Ye Zhou to emerge from the time legacy, less than five minutes.
Compared to his carefree attitude before entering, his expression was now much more solemn.
"How was it?"
"I'll talk about it later!"
Ye Zhou shrugged, but seemingly understanding Su Ping's intention, he shook his head helplessly, "The problem hasn't been solved, so don't get your hopes up."
Su Ping didn't even consider the possibility of such a coincidence.
That terrifying ability, if it could be achieved so casually, would be too exaggerated.
"Where's Celestial Dragon?"
Ye Zhou shook his head, "He used his last bit of strength to reverse time partially and gave me a time-based pet companion. Then he disappeared."
"You contracted your fourth pet companion?"
Ye Zhou nodded, "Yeah, it's time for you to get to work, right?"
Su Ping didn't ask further.
Just as Ye Zhou said, the Immortal Sage's secret was now rightfully passed down.
Su Ping exhaled and turned to address everyone behind him, "Get ready, prepare to leave the secret realm!"
Without further ado, Su Ping reactivated his unique and eerie space trait: Space Absorption!
In an instant, Su Ping's Beast Control Space seemed to sprout invisible tendrils, piercing through with Su Ping as the focal point.
No one could stop what Su Ping was doing.
Just like in all the previous secret realms, the stable space of the realm began to crack.
It was as if a perfect crystal had a gaping hole in it.
And Su Ping was right at the center of it.
As the invisible psychic tendrils continued to absorb, the hole grew larger!
Ye Zhou and the others quickly left the secret realm, leaving Su Ping alone, standing there with his eyes closed, feeling the feedback from the realm.
It had been a long time since he'd felt this way.
Su Ping couldn't help but feel a twinge of nostalgia.
As the Immortal Sage's realm crumbled, Su Ping's Beast Control Space expanded at an unimaginable speed once again.
The already immense Beast Control Space, which was several times larger than that of a typical Beast Master at the peak of the Monarch rank, began to expand once more.
As this vast space continued to grow, Su Ping could sense the emergence of a previously unseen Secret Realm trait, which manifested within his Beast Control Space.
With Su Ping's breakthrough to the Monarch rank, the effect of space absorption also underwent an unimaginable amplification and enhancement.
Additionally, after consuming the Mind Fruit, Su Ping's innate talent, 'Beast Master's Home,' was enhanced, further amplifying the trait's effect on space.
Despite this being a Holy Spirit-ranked Secret Realm, the residual power left behind due to its recent dissipation was still incredibly abundant.
For Su Ping, this was undoubtedly a feast for the senses.
This unknown trait was evidently related to the Time domain.
Moreover, Su Ping could increasingly sense the true nature of this trait's effect.
It seemed to bear some resemblance to the Beast Control style of that immortal Saint.
However, before Su Ping could carefully discern the nature of this slowly forming space trait, a series of mental fluctuations accompanied the enhanced Beast Control Space, providing feedback to Su Ping once more.
This power was incredibly pure.
The absorption of psychic power and the energy from the Beast Control Space, when applied to the Beast Master's body, was equally as pure.
Nevertheless, the urge to break through again felt like a strange compulsion.
Su Ping recalled that he had just broken through the previous night, or perhaps in the early hours of the morning.
What was most crucial was that it had only been half a month since he broke through to the Monarch rank.
Didn't they say that after reaching the Monarch rank, Beast Masters would find it extremely challenging to advance their cultivation, requiring years of meditation and accumulation?
How was it that in less than half a month, he was about to reach the fourth minor realm of the Monarch rank?
Would he be taken away for research and have his brain sliced open?
No way!
Su Ping exhaled a long breath, reining in the boiling psychic power and the urge to meditate, which would have rapidly replenished his psychic energy for the upcoming Monarch Fourth Stage breakthrough.
He couldn't continue at this breakneck pace.
Other Beast Masters typically advanced faster after reaching the Monarch rank with their beasts; his situation was the opposite.
Of course, these reasons were just excuses; Su Ping wouldn't be sliced open for research, but the rapid breakthroughs would slightly destabilize his psychic power, requiring time to stabilize himself.
He needed to wait for a while before attempting the Monarch Fourth Stage.
That was what Su Ping thought and intended to do.
However, as the space absorption power reached its conclusion, a special fluctuation emerged from the deepest part of the space.
It was as if an invisible voice spoke beside his ear:
"I didn't expect you, young one, to possess such a capability. Very well, let this last trace of my existence lend you a helping hand!"
This voice belonged to none other than the Secret Realm Spirit that had dissipated earlier, the most mysterious of the Twelve Beasts, the Celestial Dragon.
Then, amidst Su Ping's silence, the previously tranquil psychic power erupted once more, propelling the recently broken-through Monarch Third Stage psychic power to cross yet another threshold.
Simultaneously, the unstable psychic power resulting from the rapid breakthrough stabilized.
At that moment, the unique Time-domain space trait also solidified within Su Ping's Beast Control Space.
[Vigorous in Old Age: A Time-domain space trait where all resources can grow beyond age limits. The longer the growth period, the more pronounced the effect, and resources that exceed their growth limits can possess effects that surpass their own grade!]
Su Ping's eyebrows rose, but before he could fully savor the effect of this new space trait, the psychic power that had just broken through again jolted him out of the Secret Realm.
Outside the Secret Realm, Ye Zou squatted beside Cloud Saint, observing Su Ping as he stumbled out.
Watching this guy trip and fall, Ye Zou sensed the psychic power emanating from his body surge from the Monarch Third Stage to the Monarch Fourth Stage. After sensing his own Monarch First Stage, which remained unchanged despite repeated meditation, Ye Zou fell into deep thought.
He had initially believed that he should have been the one to benefit the most from this Secret Realm journey.
But why did this kid always defy expectations?
At that moment, Cloud Saint, who was privy to the situation, also shared Cold Lord's earlier thoughts:
'Is that Heavenly Tomb Seal really that miraculous? Isn't this advancement a bit too fast?'
