Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1463 - 413: Time Shape, Time’s Heart!

Suddenly, the world around them cleared, revealing the surrounding landscape.

Drawing from his knowledge of other Heavenly Rank Secret Realms, Lin Su immediately identified the unique characteristics of this particular domain.

While the center was dominated by ruins as expected, the outer perimeter of this secret realm was significantly smaller than typical Heavenly Rank Secret Realms, failing to even match the size of most Earth Rank Secret Realms.

"This transformation is unavoidable once a Heavenly Rank Secret Realm begins its fusion with the mortal world," Lin Venerate explained with gravity. His eyes were fixed on the distant silhouette of Butei Pavilion as he added, "Once the integration reaches its final stages, nothing will remain here except for the core ruins of the Butei Pavilion."

Lin Su’s gaze naturally followed the direction of the elder's stare, focusing on the far-off structure.

The state of Butei Pavilion’s existence was bizarre in the extreme.

At its very heart, the fabric of space was fractured into countless shards, resembling a pane of shattered glass.

Through these jagged rifts, ancient buildings belonging to the Butei Pavilion emerged one after another.

It appeared as though they were not actually situated within this Heavenly Rank Secret Realm, but were instead anchored somewhere outside the realm, filling the voids in the firmament.

"The entrance lies ahead," Lin Venerate declared. With a wave of his power, he instantly transported Lin Su and the five little ones toward one of the spatial fractures.

Floating there, a massive plaque carved with the characters "Butei Pavilion" acted as a seal over a specific rift.

"Only seventeen spatial cracks remain here now," Liu Changxuan noted from beside them. "The original records indicate that when the Butei Secret Realm first manifested, there were eighty-one of these internal fissures."

"We utilize the power of the space system to extract each ruin of the Butei Pavilion from these cracks. Whenever a piece is moved out, the corresponding rift seals itself almost instantly, leaving no trace behind."

"That ancient Sect claimed they were mending the heavens, but I have my doubts about their true intentions," Lin Venerate said with a light scoff. "The space would have mended itself naturally without their interference; who can say what they were actually scheming?"

"In the end, it is irrelevant now." He swept his gaze over the silent, barren landscape. "For reasons unknown, they met their end, and their legacies have fallen into our hands."

Lin Venerate extended a powerful, monstrous claw, gesturing toward a specific point in the empty void. "That is the sole cultivation ground for the time system within the Butei Secret Realm, a place known as the Time Shape."

Looking up, Lin Su spotted a mystical pavilion nestled within a sky-crack. It was bathed in an ethereal radiance, completely saturated with the aura of the time system.

Before a word could be uttered, Qiuqiu and Youyou transformed into streaks of light, resembling two rainbows as they bolted toward the pavilion.

"We should go take a look as well," Lin Su told the remaining three little ones.

Guigui gave a firm nod and quickly led the group forward.

Upon entering the rift, a wave of spatial pressure washed over them. However, the force was manageable, and even Lin Su was able to withstand the strain.

Moments later, Lin Su and his five companions crossed the threshold into the Time Shape Pavilion hidden behind the fracture.

What was visible from outside the crack was merely a fraction of this ancient structure; the vast majority of the pavilion extended deep into a dark, silent dimension.

The pavilion stretched for ten thousand meters, requiring considerable time for Lin Su and the little ones to navigate before they finally reached the central chamber.

They found themselves standing before a massive, sunken hollow in the floor. It was so deep that the bottom was lost to darkness, radiating an aura of profound desolation that made the group hesitate to draw closer.

"We have arrived," Liu Changxuan and Lin Venerate said as they caught up, looking down into the abyss. "The name Time Shape comes from the fact that within this hollow, one can perceive the true essence of time itself."

"Time is usually formless and intangible, possessing a mystery that surpasses even the laws of space in some regards," Lin Venerate explained seriously. "But inside this hollow, time can be observed as clearly as any physical object. Here, the flow of time leaves a visible trail."

"For any beast of the time system, this is a peerless land of opportunity."

"However, such an opportunity is fraught with peril." He reached out to stop Qiuqiu, who was on the verge of leaping in, his tone turning grim.

"Wait a moment, Qiuqiu," Lin Su said to calm the beast while grabbing Youyou. He then turned back to the elder. "Lin Venerate, please explain the danger."

"There is a high risk of losing oneself within the Time Shape," Lin Venerate warned. "When time acquires a tangible form, everything else becomes formless and intangible."

"Once you enter the Time Shape, your physical senses will vanish, leaving you with only the perception of time’s traces."

"If you become entranced and lose track of the world outside, you may emerge having no concept of how much time has passed."

"Constant vigilance and holding onto your true self are the only ways to survive."

Realization dawned on Qiuqiu, and a sudden chill of fear took hold.

It had been far too reckless just now. Had it not been for Lin Venerate’s warning, the beast likely would have been lost forever within that void.

Beside them, Youyou’s expression also grew solemn.

They could not afford to lose their way.

Acknowledging the risks, Lin Su looked at his two companions with a serious face. "You heard the warning. While this opportunity is great, it isn't worth losing yourselves over. If it becomes too much, come back; there will be other chances. Do not get lost."

Qiuqiu and Youyou nodded in unison.

After sharing a final look with Lin Su and the others, the two beasts exchanged a glance and dove into the Time Shape together.

Their figures vanished instantly.

Even the mental link provided by the Guardian Beast Contract was abruptly severed the moment they entered.
