Chapter 229 Time-Space Beast
Thinking that perhaps I was being petty, I was about to look away when I suddenly noticed that the little black beast had moved.
Immediately afterwards, those equally dark little eyes slowly opened, meeting Yunxi's gaze directly.
His dark, bright, round eyes stared at Yunxi with a wet look, making Yunxi feel even more guilty.
But then she exclaimed with delight, "You're finally awake?"
The little black beast didn't answer, but instead jumped up and landed in Yunxi's arms. "Master! I missed you so much~"
Yunxi was completely confused by what she heard. The little black beast hadn't actually been asleep for very long, less than half a month. It couldn't be that bad, could it?
"Waaah, Master, you still haven't remembered me, have you? It's all my fault for being too greedy. I ate so many spirit stones, and my energy recovered quickly. I remembered so many things."
Yunxi couldn't bother asking why it had eaten so many spirit stones again. "Remembering so many things? What exactly happened? And last time you said we finally met again, had we met before?"
"Of course, Master, we've been together for hundreds of thousands of years!"
"But I'm only in my early twenties, where did I get hundreds of thousands of years from? Could it be from a past life?" Yunxi asked, her hand naturally stroking the little black beast's fur.
"Not just in my past life, but in several lifetimes~" the little black beast said proudly.
"What exactly happened, and what kind of spirit beast are you?"
The little black beast let Yunxi pet its fur with a blissful expression, and then began to tell Yunxi a story.
"I am a Time-Space Beast, the only Time-Space Beast in the universe. I can reverse time, but each time I reverse time, I cannot return to the exact same point in time, and each time I need to consume a certain amount of energy."
Master, I have actually spent hundreds of thousands of years with you.
In your first life, you developed inner demons due to love and failed to transcend the tribulation. I used my energy to reverse time and space so that you could return to the time before you met that scumbag.
However, there are limitations to reversing time. Not only does it consume energy, but each time time is reversed, my master and I will need to seal away a portion of our memories depending on the energy consumed. As my energy recovers, or as your cultivation level increases, your memories will gradually be restored.
In my second life, you, Master, encountered an accident within the sect. Neither of us possessed the strength to avoid it, but fortunately, the energy I stored was enough for me to reverse time again.
After that, in several lifetimes we returned to the point before your sect's incident, but we still couldn't completely avoid it. Until the last lifetime you finally managed to avoid being harmed, but the other party turned around and destroyed your sect.
However, at that time, our energy was insufficient for us to immediately reverse time in actual combat. So, Master, you focused all your attention on cultivation, and in your previous life, your cultivation finally made a great breakthrough, reaching the Refining Void Realm.
However, after a while, the master got bored, so after the master's cultivation reached the Refinement of Void realm, we tore through the void and went to other spaces to train.
Then the master thought that instead of spending the long time in such boredom, he might as well try to go back to before the incident in the sect and see if he could make up for the regrets.
However, because this cross-domain process took too long, and because some unexpected events occurred during the reversal, my energy was almost depleted, and I could only maintain the egg shape. Breaking the shell requires accumulating a lot of energy, so I have been unable to reunite with my master for a long time.
Before I met you again, Master, I fell into the hands of that Taotie. Taotie can devour everything and is very greedy. It tried to swallow me up every few days. In order to save my life, I would immediately use my Time Freeze talent every time it swallowed me. Oh, this is another talent of mine. It can freeze the current time flow in spacetime for a short time, that is, stop time.
However, when frozen, both my master and I can move freely. My master and I have relied on this talent to successfully avoid several major crises in the past.
Every time I'm swallowed by the Taotie, I freeze time. Then, while time is frozen, I crawl out of the Taotie's mouth. When time resumes its normal flow, I leap out of its mouth the moment the Taotie regains consciousness, and it will think it spat me out again.
Yunxi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is! I was wondering why the Taotie, which can devour everything, couldn't even eat an egg. But even if you are an egg, you are no ordinary egg. Egg, your ability is too amazing!"
“Master, you are also very powerful. You were the number one person on the cultivation continent back then. You were the first and only person to cultivate to the Void Refinement stage. When we reversed time and space, on the Yunlan Continent, Canglan Continent, and several other continents, apart from you, the highest level of others was still the peak of the Divine Transformation stage. That small realm is something that many people cannot break through.”
"But my memories haven't been restored yet, and I'm only at the Nascent Soul stage right now. How far do I need to cultivate before my memories are restored?"
“Master, you lived a long time in your previous life, and with the memories accumulated from previous lives, it's not good for you to recover them too early, as it will affect your cultivation. In this life, you will probably be able to recover all your memories when you reach the Nascent Soul stage. Now that I'm here, you should be able to recover some memories gradually over this period of time.”
"That's great. I'm sorry, I forgot about you." Yunxi still had no memory of the Time-Space Beast, and felt quite embarrassed.
The time that Yunxi and the Time-Space Beast spent together was too long to recount in a short time. The Time-Space Beast only gave a general overview, explaining its relationship with Yunxi before stopping.
According to the Time-Space Beast, it was previously named Yun Kong by Yun Xi, and was usually called Xiao Kong.
"So my naming habits really haven't changed at all. Look, this is the strange fire Yunli, and this is the spatial artifact spirit Yunduo."
"I know, we knew each other before, and this space was actually created by you, Master," Xiao Kong said cheerfully.
Yunxi's eyes widened. "Huh? I actually created it? But when I received this space before, it was an old man's voice saying it was a gift to me. I thought this space was created by him before he ascended to immortality."
"An old man? Could he be the master's former disciple? After ascending to the Immortal Realm, the Immortal Realm is a different space-time. The time there is different from our cultivation continent. When we reverse space-time, we are only reversing the space-time we are in. Other space-times are not affected."
"I have an apprentice?" Yunxi asked in surprise.
"Yes, and not just apprentices, but also **."
"What else?" Yunxi asked curiously.
"And **" Xiao Kong found himself unable to say the word, then realized it wasn't the right time to say it yet, as the rules of Heaven were binding it.
