Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1081 - 448: Strange Secret Realm! Time Inheritance! (2)

Su Ping and Ye Zhou, they were not here for an adventure.

The ten members of the Qintian Monitor summoned their pet beasts immediately, but Su Ping and Ye Zhou also summoned a few pet beasts. However, there was absolutely no need for them to fight.

Su Ping followed these ten people.

Even in the time-series secret realm.

The time-series pet beasts were very, very rare.

Following behind them, Su Ping did not see a single time-series pet beast or ferocious beast.

There were only some elemental-type pet beasts present.

Most were wind elements and light elements. Though relatively rare, after seeing some, Su Ping lost interest.

Even Xiao Qing and Qian Yi, upon seeing these opponents, had no interest in taking action.

Ye Zhou, however, went from initial boredom to becoming increasingly interested, looking at the large palace beneath their feet.

Every room’s traversal made Ye Zhou linger in each room for a while.

"I say, what are you doing?"

"Searching for some info about the master of this secret realm! The master of this secret realm is quite unusual! This place is very strange."

Su Ping raised an eyebrow.

The very reason he brought Ye Zhou was because of this.

Concerning time-series matters, this guy was genuinely a big shot. With the inheritance from Jiang Xuanji, his understanding and research on the time series had long surpassed the average time beastmaster.

Yet...

Upon hearing these words, Su Ping also slightly furrowed his brow.

In fact, he also had an indescribable feeling.

This palace, in essence, the rooms were highly similar.

Almost every room was identical, yet interconnected, resembling a massive labyrinth.

However, he had an indescribable feeling about the structure of this secret realm.

The feeling wasn’t some overly suspicious sixth sense but a genuine perception from his talent.

Indeed!

Among the many trivial talents Su Ping awakened, naturally, there were some talents that could come in handy at crucial moments.

And this talent was the special talent ’Historical Echo’ he obtained when Xiaoshi activated the Book of Time catalog.

Su Ping hadn’t paid much attention to this talent.

The effect was fairly simple: in places with heavy time-series traces, there was a chance to see part of the historical scenarios.

Su Ping genuinely hadn’t perceived how this could be useful.

However, upon entering this secret realm, he felt as if this talent was echoing that feeling all the time.

Yet, when he carefully tried to urge it, hoping to see something through this talent, he saw nothing.

"Did you figure something out?"

Su Ping asked directly.

Ye Zhou shook his head, then surprisingly nodded:

"I have some clues, but I can’t confirm anything yet. If I’m not mistaken, this secret realm should be a heritage secret realm!"

Hmm?

Su Ping was taken aback, looking at Ye Zhou in surprise.

Even the Qintian Monitor members turned to Ye Zhou in surprise, with the captain directly speaking:

"Brother Ye, despite your young age and high talent, I’m afraid you lack the experience in secret realm exploration!

This secret realm lacks any legacy information, has no beastmaster relics, and doesn’t even have a condensed spirit of the secret realm. It doesn’t have any relation to a heritage secret realm, right? It should just be a secret realm left behind by a time beastmaster who suddenly died.

There’s not even any notable resources."

Ye Zhou smiled faintly, saying no more.

Then, he unexpectedly acted casual, following alongside Su Ping, behaving not like a beastmaster exploring a secret realm, but as if a young master on a countryside outing.

The beastmasters from the Qintian Monitor seeing this, said nothing more.

What would these young masters know about real danger and hardship?

Fortunately, there was indeed no danger along the way.

The leftover pet beasts were not formidable, not even having one at Monarch Peak.

The simplicity left the remaining team members originally tense now puzzled.

How could a secret realm capable of impacting the outside world be this devoid of danger?

This made those present feel somewhat unreal.

However, Su Ping and Ye Zhou were not surprised at all.

They continued to walk through the interconnected grand palace, room by room.

The more they walked, the more Ye Zhou’s smile widened at the corners of his mouth, and the more Su Ping’s brow furrowed.

Soon, Ye Zhou stopped paying attention to his steps and turned his smiling gaze towards Su Ping, sharing a story from the past:

"Su Ping, do you know how I obtained Teacher Jiang’s inheritance back then?"

Su Ping raised his brows and looked at Ye Zhou: "How?"

"In Teacher Jiang’s heritage secret realm, there wasn’t a single ferocious beast, just an empty ground and a gigantic clock. Of course, in his era, they called it a sundial.

There were no leftover words of inheritance in that secret realm, but the hands of that sundial were always moving.

However, the second hand of that sundial differed from the outside world by a thirtieth of a second every second! A beastmaster needs absolute time perception to rectify it in order to enter the first phase of the inheritance.

Each phase tests the beastmaster’s absolute time perception to the point of being second-perfect, to obtain Teacher Jiang’s inheritance.

The most crucial thing is that each entry into the secret realm disrupts the time difference with the outside world. It’s impossible to establish contact with the outside world and cunningly complete the challenges."

Ye Zhou explained with a smile.

Su Ping’s brows suddenly raised. He wasn’t curious or surprised by this method of inheritance.

Those ancient beastmasters had all sorts of weird and bizarre inheritance requirements when selecting successors through generations.

What surprised him was Ye Zhou’s motive for speaking at this moment.

He asked oddly:

"So, this secret realm is the same?"

He never considered himself omnipotent. In the domain of time series, his knowledge, perception, and experience paled in comparison to Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou nodded.

"So how can we find the inheritance of this secret realm?"

Su Ping also became intrigued.

Ye Zhou lightly stomped his foot:

"It’s simple; just walk backward."

"Walk backward?"

Even the other team members were taken aback.

Su Ping furrowed his brow, then seemed to think of something.

He instinctively turned back to look.

The corridor behind them seemed to be always there, unchanged.

However, they truly hadn’t walked back since they entered.

"This secret realm, we’ve actually explored it all. We’ve just been walking in the direction of the clock hands. In a certain sense, moving seems like it’s us moving, but actually it’s the rooms beneath our feet moving.

And those who enter this secret realm, are somewhat like the clock hands, pinned at the tail and rotating around the center point. They’ve been moving, but actually, just walking around this circle."

Ye Zhou yawned, seemingly still recovering from previous fatigue.

Then, unbelievably, he truly started to walk backward:

"Of course, even walking backward, in a physical sense, is just drawing circles.

But unfortunately, this is a secret realm formed by beastmaster space traits, and cannot be measured by common sense.

Walking backward represents time within this simulated clock world also moving backward!"

Ye Zhou’s words left everyone stunned.

After slightly hesitating, everyone followed suit.

Then, something completely unexpected happened to everyone, including Su Ping.

With each backward step, the extremely dilapidated palace actually began to change.

Spider webs slowly faded.

The mottled traces gradually became spotless and new.

The originally ruined great hall appeared almost brand new before everyone’s eyes in such a manner.

Finally, as everyone continuously retreated,

With each backward stride out of a room,

Time rewound countless years.

The palace became spotless and new, radiant with divine light.

And the maze that seemed eternal and the never-disappearing next hall turned into a bizarre door.

Sealing off the path for everyone who wanted to continue.

The previous little halls vanished.

Replaced by a grand palace.

Along with an ancient voice sounding:

"Young beastmaster with dazzling time series talent! Your sharp perception of time qualifies you to know the master’s identity, to inherit the master’s legacy..."
