Chapter 490: Chapter 485: Exclusive Secret Realm
“You little lad, indeed having your eye on this.”
Zhao Futu chuckled at his words, saying, “Don’t worry, the value of a legendary creature with a supportive attribute is not low. The Federation will not treat you poorly.”
“You misunderstood me, Chairman. I was just worrying whether the Ice Spirit Jade Rabbit can adapt to living in the outside world. I meant nothing else.”
Bai Qi said gravely, but quickly donned another expression, saying, “But of course, if the Federation gives me some good things, I would be too embarrassed to refuse.”
Seeing this, Zhao Futu couldn’t help but laugh. Even Bai Heguang’s face bore a rare smile.
Although Bai Qi’s character did not meet his expectations for his disciple, in various aspects, it was not bad either.
Zhao Futu took out a pendant from his arms that somewhat resembled a piece of a clock and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, “Originally, based on your request, I was going to give you a Temporal Department resource. Then I heard from Heguang that you already obtained a Temporal Department resource in the sea area and successfully completed the evolution of your pet. So, I took it upon myself to change it to this.”
“A Secret Realm?”
Upon seeing this, Bai Qi smacked his lips. He would’ve preferred the Temporal Department resource.
“The Chairman pestered me for three days to give this to him. If Bai Qi doesn’t want it, give it back to me.”
Seeing Bai Qi looking down on the Secret Realm, Xiang Li immediately wanted to snatch it back. Bai Qi understood and quickly hid behind Bai Heguang.
“Gifts from the elders cannot be refused. Returning it would be disrespectful to the Chairman.”
Bai Qi turned to Zhao Futu and asked, “Chairman, what is special about this Secret Realm?”
Zhao Futu laughed, saying, “It’s said to be a Secret Realm left by the Bronze Dragon. This dragon guards the River of Time amongst the Five-colored Dragons. You can freely travel through time in this realm.”
“I…cough…cough, You just gave me such a precious thing?”
Bai Qi’s face changed when he heard this, and his hand holding the pendant started to tremble slightly.
“Of course not.”
Zhao Futu chuckled, saying, “This Secret Realm is just a fragment. It does not have the ability to travel through time.”
“Just a fragment, huh…”
Bai Qi smacked his lips and shoved the pendant into his pocket.
“However, the flow of time inside this Secret Realm is different from the outside world. Approximately every 24 hours that pass outside, about 30 hours pass inside.”
Bai Qi: “Chairman, could you please finish all your sentences at once next time? It’s uncomfortable being left hanging.”
“Hahaha…”
Zhao Futu burst into hearty laughter, saying, “If it weren’t for the fact that you cultivated a dual attribute space-time pet and even brought a supporting legendary pet to the Federation, I wouldn’t have been willing to give it to you.”
“Thank you, Chairman.”
Bai Qi grinned. He now had six extra hours more than anyone else. Couldn’t he conduct his research happily now?
“But I suggest you let your pets dwell inside, and don’t go in yourself if there’s nothing important.”
Zhao Futu became serious, saying, “Even though this Secret Realm can help you save a lot of time, it will not reduce the consumption of your lifespan. Don’t stay inside too long, or you’ll end up looking as old as me when you come out.”
“Alright…”
Bai Qi’s face fell. He had forgotten about this fact. It seemed that unless there were special circumstances, only his pets could use the Secret Realm.
That was good too. Although Alpha and the others grew rapidly, counting from the time of the pact till now, even Alpha, who had been around the longest, was only eight or nine months old. This Secret Realm could help them make up for their lack of time.
At least, it would be good to solidify their foundation.
Moreover, this Temporal Department Secret Realm should be of considerable help to Delta’s mastery of the Time Traveler skill.
“Alright, Bai Qi, you must be tired now. Rest up and I’ll take you back to Gusu City for class tomorrow,” Bai Heguang said, patting Bai Qi on the shoulder.
“Yes, Teacher.”
Bai Qi’s mind was wholly focused on the Time Secret Realm at the moment. He paid no attention to the latter part of Bai Heguang’s words. He took out his identity token as usual and immediately teleported to his former student dormitory.
To enhance the students’ sense of belonging, the headquarters always retained their dormitories.
Of course, very few came back.
After Bai Qi left, the smiles on the faces of Zhao Futu and the others gradually faded. Yi Xiaowei understood that the three were probably discussing something and left voluntarily.
“Time is running out. The tribes are showing signs of unrest, and the Death Round Table is not quiet either. I wonder how much longer the Federation’s peaceful days can last.”
As one of the elders who survived from the Federation’s inception to the present, Zhao Futu couldn’t help but sigh emotionally.
“Chairman, you’re too anxious. The strength of the Federation is growing stronger, and the Federation’s power far exceeds that of any previous era. Moreover, the younger generation is growing up now. There will be no issue.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Li immediately comforted him.
“No, it’s still a bit slow.”
Zhao Futu shook his head, saying, “The talents of Bai Qi’s generation far exceed the previous one. If allowed to grow slowly, mankind would definitely enter an unprecedentedly prosperous era. But now, time really might not be enough.”
“So, Chairman, you gave Bai Qi that Time Secret Realm to help him grow rapidly?”
Bai Heguang turned to Zhao Futu and asked.
“Among all the Beast Masters I’ve seen, Bai Qi is the most talented. It’s a pity that he has too little time to grow. Without the processing of time, he’s still a bit lacking when encountering problems.”
Zhao Futu nodded, saying, “Although this Secret Realm is only a fragment, it can more or less make up for his lack of time in cultivation. Perhaps it can help him advance to a legend smoothly.”
Bai Heguang fell silent upon hearing this. Indeed, no matter how strong one’s combat power, some things still required time to accumulate.
“I will emphasize it to him again later.”
“No need, I think he’ll understand. Saying too much might actually be counterproductive.”
Zhao Futu waved his hand and then laughed, “Heguang, your teaching experience is still lacking. You must learn from Lao Qin.”
“Hmm.”
Bai Heguang nodded slightly, a mysterious glint in his eyes.
It seemed like he wasn’t really good at being a teacher.
…
The Association Dormitory.
As soon as Bai Qi returned to the dormitory, he immediately activated the Evolution Egg, and, unsurprisingly, the clock fragment pendant was embedded in the Beast Control Space.
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and, with a thought, transported himself into the Time Secret Realm.
Unlike the magnificent Holy Light Secret Realm, the Time Secret Realm was monotonous, the entire world gray and lifeless.
“This kind of environment, even if the flow of time is the same, can easily drive a person crazy.”
Bai Qi smacked his lips before summoning Delta, “Delta, how do you feel being here?”
Blurb, blurb.
(The flow of time seems to be faster than the outside world, but Delta feels very comfortable.)
Delta happily swam around in the Time Secret Realm, the red flame in its left eye seemed a bit more brilliant.
“That’s good.”
Bai Qi nodded in approval. The Time Secret Realm was the hardest to obtain, but he hadn’t expected to have it so quickly. Delta’s growth rate would likely boost significantly.
However, this realm was only a fragment, and he wondered if there would be a chance to complete it in the future. The effect would certainly be even more prominent.
At this moment, the Cowskin Snake suddenly shot in, staring at the gray world in front of it, it was stunned.
“Cowskin Snake, what’s wrong?”
Bai Qi looked curiously at Cowskin Snake. Given its character, it should be talking about its past experience with some great emperor. It was indeed unusual for it to change its behavior today.
“Nothing, I will sleep here from now on, is that okay?”
The Cowskin Snake shook its head, a rare serious expression on its face.
“I don’t mind, but the flow of time here is different. If you die of old age here, I’m not responsible.”
Bai Qi advised kindly, but the Cowskin Snake seemed not to hear and coiled itself up to sleep.
“What’s gotten into him today?”
After experiencing the Time Secret Realm, Bai Qi moved to the Holy Light Secret Realm.
Like before, the Holy Light Secret Realm was still full of thunderbolts. However, Gamma seemed to enjoy it, lying on the ground allowing the thunderbolt to hit it without any discomfort.
“I wonder if there’s truly a complete inheritance of the Judgement Angel here. I hope Gamma will find it.”
Bai Qi glanced around but didn’t find anything special. He could only pin his hopes on Gamma’s fate.
“With this, I don’t need to worry about Gamma’s Holy Light Attribute, but this evil power could be a problem.”
Bai Qi suddenly had a headache considering the issue of fueling the evil power.
Although it seemed that the evil power in Gamma’s body hadn’t been fully utilized yet, now with the Holy Light Secret Realm, the endurance of the Holy Light Attribute wasn’t a problem. In the future, he might have to worry about the evil power.
“When I get back, I need to ask the Fire Rock Demon Tiger if it knows anything about the evil power.”
After another glance at the sleeping Gamma, Bai Qi returned to the Prairie Secret Realm.
“Holy Light Secret Realm, Time Secret Realm, Prairie Secret Realm, Wilderness Secret Realm, Ice Field Secret Realm, I already have five secret realms.”
Looking at the five secret realms hanging on the Beast Control – Taming Space Crystal Wall, Bai Qi grinned, reminding himself at the same time.
There was only one remaining slot. The next time he merged a secret realm, he should be cautious. At least it should match the attributes of his pet beasts.
After all, although realms could currently be merged, it wasn’t known how many times this could be done. It was safer to be a little more careful.
“But, I’ve straightened out the exclusive realms of two pet beasts at once. Things have been going smoothly recently.”
Bai Qi smiled satisfactorily. The Time Secret Realm and Holy Light Secret Realm should be relatively hard to find. Now that he’d check these off, the other attributes were much easier.
“Hmm, what are you guys studying?”
Bai Qi looked up and noticed Alpha and Schuck curiously studying something. He went over to check.
But as soon as he approached, he saw that the Angel Skeleton he had thrown in earlier unexpectedly woke up and was kneeling before Alpha devoutly.
“Alpha, what’s going on?”
clatter, clatter.
(Boss, I don’t know either. I wanted to move him to another place, but as soon as I touched it, it woke up and has been clinging to me ever since.)
Alpha shook its head, its tone full of helplessness.
