Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1499 - 423: Homeward Journey and Unexpected Events (Double-Length, Finale Countdown: 28)

From the beginning, Miao Yunge had no intention of letting Lin Su depart by himself.

The initial plan involved assigning several epic-level Beast Tamers as an escort to show proper respect.

However, given the grim nature of the prophecy, it was deemed more cautious to have the sect’s immortal ranks provide protection instead.

"Mew...(≖ω≖)" (I can't see it clearly...)

Qiuqiu gave a helpless shake of its head.

The vision it had witnessed was nothing more than a monstrous, terrifying giant claw and the total annihilation of everyone beneath it.

"Allow me to escort young friend Lin Su," Cai Venerate offered of its own accord.

It happened to desire a trip to the Immortal Phoenix Sect within the Eastern Extreme Domain to speak with a member of its own species.

Acting as Lin Su’s bodyguard back to the Immortal Phoenix Sect was simply a matter of convenience.

Furthermore, within Self Transformation Valley, its combat prowess was second only to the eighth-realm Feather Venerate.

As a seventh-realm expert, Cai Venerate was in no way inferior to Huan Venerate, despite having slightly less refined fusion rules. In fact, thanks to the fortuitous encounters found in the Lingxia Mystic Realm, its command of the Eight-Colored Divine Light was even more sophisticated than Huan Venerate’s.

"Young friend Lin Su, what are your thoughts?" Miao Yunge asked with a faint smile. "You are well aware of Cai Venerate’s capabilities."

"If Senior Cai Venerate is willing to protect us, that would obviously be the ideal situation," Lin Su replied, cupping his hands as his face filled with sincere gratitude. "But please wait a moment, Senior Miao. To ensure our safety, I will have Qiuqiu perform another prophecy."

He wasn't about to decline politely at a time like this.

Nevertheless, he needed to confirm whether Cai Venerate alone would be sufficient to ensure their safety.

He cast a look toward Qiuqiu.

Through their telepathic bond, Qiuqiu immediately began manifesting the Time Prophecy.

This time, the focus of the prophecy was whether Cai Venerate could successfully protect Lin Su and the five little ones during their journey home.

The vertical eye on its forehead began to spin at high speed, and Qiuqiu’s expression turned grave.

To ensure the highest level of precision for this specific prophecy, it even utilized the Time’s Heart for additional power.

As the energy of the time system surged continuously, a vision finally materialized before Qiuqiu.

In the scene, Lin Su and the five little ones were standing upon an island, surrounded by a boundless ocean.

Is this...

The Endless Sea?

A brief doubt crossed Qiuqiu’s mind, but it was quickly dismissed.

To travel from the Northern Divine Domain to the Eastern Extreme Domain, one had to cross the Endless Sea.

Since the vision showed Lin Su safely in the Endless Sea, it implied that Cai Venerate was capable of protecting everyone.

However...

Qiuqiu’s brow furrowed slightly.

There was something strangely familiar about that island.

Was it perhaps the same island they had passed when traveling from the Eastern Extreme Domain to the Northern Divine Domain?

Yes... it likely was.

Qiuqiu opened its eyes, its expression finally relaxing.

"Mew! (｡òωó｡)" (Everything is fine this time!)

Upon hearing this, Lin Su, the four little ones, Miao Yunge, and the other immortals all breathed a collective sigh of relief.

"In that case, I will have to trouble Cai Venerate to escort us," Lin Su said, bowing once more to Cai Venerate.

"Young friend Lin Su, there is no need for such formalities," Cai Venerate laughed loudly. "It seems a rogue immortal might cross our path, but I shall simply drive them off."

"I’ve wanted to speak with my kin in the Eastern Extreme Domain anyway, so this is a perfect opportunity."

"Then I will certainly introduce Cai Venerate to Huan Venerate when we arrive," Lin Su added quickly.

"Excellent!" Cai Venerate’s mood brightened even further.

With Lin Su acting as a bridge, that fellow species member would surely be more welcoming. Combined with the goodwill Self Transformation Valley had shown Lin Su, this cultural exchange would undoubtedly be fruitful.

Perhaps upon returning, it might even find the path to evolving into a nine-colored form.

"If everything is settled, shall we depart at once?"

"Yes! All my belongings are packed." Lin Su smiled, patting his Space Ring before turning back to Miao Yunge and the other immortals. "During my stay in the Northern Divine Domain, I received great care from the three seniors and many other immortals. Lin Su is not a man who forgets favors; I will surely repay this kindness when the opportunity arises in the future."

"Senior Miao, seniors, I bid you farewell."

A short while later, an Eight-colored Crane with a wingspan of tens of thousands of meters took flight from Self Transformation Valley. It soared over countless massive peaks, heading toward the southeast of the Northern Divine Domain.

Sitting atop the Eight-colored Immortal Crane, Lin Su and the five little ones looked toward the southeast, their hearts filled with excitement.

They were going home!

Even though the three sects had treated him exceptionally well during his month in the Northern Divine Domain, the Eastern Extreme Domain was his true home.

His Sect and his family were all waiting there.

During the flight, Lin Su chatted idly with Cai Venerate or took in the vistas of the Northern Divine Domain, feeling quite at ease.

While Qiuqiu had originally predicted an immortal attack, the second prophecy following Cai Venerate’s inclusion suggested a smooth journey, so he wasn't particularly worried.

Although Cai Venerate lacked space system powers, it mastered the wind system, making its flight speed incredibly swift.

Before long, a vast expanse of blue emerged on the horizon.

The Endless Sea laid right before them.

"It looks like the danger has been avoided, so hold on tight!"

Cai Venerate let out a piercing cry and suddenly surged forward.

Violent winds shrieked in the void, torn apart by sheer, brutal force as Cai Venerate’s form nearly turned into a beam of light, rapidly closing in on the Endless Sea.

The massive blue horizon expanded quickly in the eyes of Lin Su and the five little ones.

Then, everything turned dark.

The sky had been eclipsed!

In that sudden instant, two overwhelming and terrifying auras surged into the heavens.

Two massive figures, each spanning tens of thousands of meters, manifested from the void.

One was an immortal dragon, its lithe form radiating a powerful beauty. Each of its scales seemed to flicker between existence and nothingness, making its body look blurred, as if it might disappear at any moment.
