Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1565 - 436: Lin Su’s Plan
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
The seven Immortals at the Ninth Realm stood frozen on the spot, sharing looks that revealed a flicker of inner turmoil.
Before this, their obedience to the Time Master stemmed from its overwhelming might. Even united, they couldn't stand against the Time Master's dominance.
Yet, should they all advance to the Mythic Stage as well, the combined force of seven such powerhouses could potentially challenge the Time Master, whose abilities, after all, had boundaries.
The Time Master spoke the truth; it had selected them personally from myriad exotic beasts across the Southern Wild Domain, each brimming with vast potential, holding real promise for reaching the Mythic Stage.
At that point, escape from the Time Master's grip would become possible.
However, the Time Master's latest offer bound them eternally to its will.
Remaining forever in the Time Master's shadow, even after achieving the Mythic Stage—would true independence ever come?
This fate they rejected.
Still, refusal lay beyond their power.
To deny it would spark thoughts of defiance within them.
Given their knowledge of the Time Master's nature, outright rejection now might provoke a merciless end at its hands.
Though reluctance surged in their hearts, after brief internal conflict, the seven Immortals forced expressions of profound thanks, eagerly embracing the Time Master's aid.
Witnessing the consent of these seven followers, a trace of ease appeared in the Time Master's gaze.
In that instant, it felt a touch of appreciation toward the Martial Emperor for handing over such a convenient excuse.
Thanks to its command over the Cosmic Division Rule, invincibility defined it prior to the Mythic Stage breakthrough.
Through endless layering of temporal energy lines, it wielded a fearsome power that overwhelmed peers at the same level.
But in the boundless vitality of the Mythic Stage, those techniques forfeited their edge.
The Mythic Stage marked an entirely fresh tier of existence.
Beyond the Mythic Stage, what were once called rules transformed; labeling them "ways" fit better.
At this existence level, power hinged on the depth of one's Way.
And regarding the Way, the Time Master sensed, post its own Mythic Stage ascent, a path of division awaiting.
It appeared a realm even higher than the Mythic Stage might exist.
Yet such heights remained distant dreams for the Time Master.
For now, it lingered at the initial minor phase of the Mythic Stage, with even the next minor phase feeling like a remote goal.
In this situation, the seven Ninth Realm Immortal subordinates posed a growing danger.
Should they also ascend to the Mythic Stage, sheer power alone might fail to keep them in check.
Was blocking the Immortals' path to the Mythic Stage truly wise?
Such a move would surely ignite widespread disloyalty.
No amount of unmatched strength could make that outcome appealing.
After deep deliberation, the Time Master chose a fresh method to bind these seven followers.
This approach would neutralize any threat from them.
Even if more Mythic Stage entities arose, they couldn't overcome eight united Mythic Stage forces to topple its reign.
Besides, with extra Mythic Stage allies, the Time Master could face the cage's shattering with greater confidence.
Despite its outward nonchalance, it heeded the Martial Emperor's declarations closely.
Should humans birth a Martial God Realm expert or another Mythic Stage exotic beast emerge,
a brutal clash awaited it.
Envisioning the direst possibility, two such titans appearing would spell potential downfall.
Ancient exotic beasts fell to humans through exactly this pattern.
This cycle, it refused to echo the blunders of those long-gone fools.
The instant the cage shattered, it would storm the four domains and Endless Sea with unstoppable fury.
Forge...
A fresh dominion!
The dread essence of the Time Skill, guided by the Time Master, poured into the seven Immortals' forms ahead.
Their frames shook fiercely, time accelerating around them at an astonishing rate, thousands of times beyond normal.
Their presence swelled rapidly before the eyes, as Ninth Realm rules intensified and shifted toward Way formation.
...
Southern Wild Domain.
With the bulk of exotic beasts here whisked away by the Time Master, this forsaken expanse looked even more desolate.
Entering this uncharted exile territory for the first time, Lin Su's features lit with curiosity.
Across endless years, the Endless Sea had clashed repeatedly with the Southern Wild Domain, granting its inhabitants partial knowledge of the region.
The Endless Sea now fell fully under Lanlan’s faith avatar's sway. Aided by its denizens, these details assembled swiftly, letting Lin Su pinpoint his target amid the sprawling emptiness.
"From what the Endless Sea creatures described, the Time Master often dwells in this part of the Southern Wild Domain. The Time Secret Realm probably hides there." Lanlan, channeling water forces, conjured a crude map of the Southern Wild Domain in empty space, indicating a precise spot.
"The Time Secret Realm!" At those words, Qiuqiu's expression burst with eagerness.
The Time Master had long since entered the Mythic Stage, so it hardly lugged around a Heavenly Rank Secret Realm, right?
"The spot is set." Gui Gui gave a nod, and in the next breath, leveraging potent Space Rules, it warped Lin Su and the remaining five straight to Lanlan's marked location.
A boundless plain stretched out, subtle signs confirming it as a former haunt of the Time Master.
"I sense it!" Qiuqiu's face lit up with thrill in an instant.
Shifting into a streak of rainbow light, it dashed to a rift in the air.
The known energy soon sparked delight across its features.
It had first encountered this rift in a Southern Wild Domain Immortal's recollection.
Via that vision, Qiuqiu beheld the Heavenly Rank Secret Realm's unveiling and glimpsed the freshly Immortal Time Master.
That marked its initial brush with the Time Master's prowess.
Now, ages later, it had claimed the Immortal Realm itself.
The rift from memory at last unveiled itself to Qiuqiu!
Merely positioned near the rift, Qiuqiu felt Time’s Heart pounding rapidly and a warm bond with the Secret Realm ahead.
Within lay the Time Pavilion it had yearned for so fiercely!
Here, the Time Scripture's legacy could reach completion.
Plus, the Time Pavilion might hold further lucky breaks to bolster it.
This chance stood as its prime boon before heading back to Blue Star.
With no delay, Qiuqiu plunged through the rift.
"We should go after it."
Watching the thrilled Qiuqiu, Lin Su grinned, guiding the five young ones through the rift as one.
