Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1526: 427: Lin Su's Decision

Beyond his anxiety, a profound sense of apprehension flickered within his gaze.

Two centuries had slipped away since he last set foot within the Endless Sea.

Having been absent for so many years, it appeared that the Endless Sea had undergone dramatic transformations.

While conducting his search, the Banyan Sovereign stumbled upon numerous anomalies.

It seemed as though many bridges had been built between the Endless Sea and the Southern Wilderness Domain.

The Banyan Sovereign chose to temporarily overlook these matters, making the search for Lin Su his top priority.

Nonetheless, a nagging feeling of dread took root in his heart.

Once Lin Su was located, a return to the Endless Sea would be necessary to unravel the mysteries of what had transpired here.

With these thoughts swirling, the Banyan Sovereign detected no trace of the Jade Leaf Ruyi nearby and shifted his course toward the west once more.

As his form materialized over a different stretch of the Endless Sea, the Banyan Sovereign’s frame trembled slightly before his face lit up with an expression of pure ecstasy.

He had found it!

At the very edge of his sensory range, he caught a faint vibration of an aura that shared his own origin.

It was the distinct mark left by the Jade Leaf Ruyi.

Lin Su was there!

Tearing through the firmament, the Banyan Sovereign accelerated toward the source of his perception.

…

Blue Star.

The moment he woke within the Divine Court Secret Realm, Lin Su checked on Lanlan’s condition.

Seeing that Lanlan remained undisturbed, a wave of relief washed over him.

Regardless of the underlying cause, it was now evident that the already manifested Lanlan would not be negatively impacted by the unique essence of the Pure Water Elemental Spirit.

A peaceful coexistence with Wei Miao was possible.

Once this was confirmed, Lin Su departed from the Divine Court Secret Realm in haste, reaching the Miao Blue Beast Zone after a series of rapid flash steps.

“Lin Su, your timing is perfect. I spent the entire night analyzing that Secret Technique you provided yesterday, and I’ve actually formed some concepts…” Lin Su had only just reached Wei Miao’s palace when Qin Yunzhang rushed toward him, his face beaming with excitement.

Could it truly be refined?

Lin Su was momentarily taken aback, but he quickly composed himself and replied, “Grandfather Qin, there is no hurry regarding the Secret Technique.”

He turned his gaze toward Wei Miao, who had appeared alongside them, and announced, “I have awakened the Pure Water Elemental Spirit.”

Silence gripped the palace for a heartbeat.

In the next breath, the eyes of both Qin Yunzhang and Wei Miao stretched wide in shock.

He had already awakened it?!

The problem that had stumped them for over a month had been solved by Lin Su in a single night?

“You…” Qin Yunzhang started to speak, but the words failed him.

Wei Miao was the first to recover his wits, speaking with urgency, “May I meet this member of my tribe?”

“Of course.” Lin Su gave a nod. Dark threads of light began to weave together at his feet, and shortly after, six small silhouettes stepped forth.

Wei Miao’s attention was almost instantly captured by Lanlan.

Lanlan reacted in kind.

As both encountered another of their species for the first time, a natural sense of kinship bloomed between them.

“You…” Wei Miao hurried forward, taking Lanlan’s hand with a look of deep affection.

“I am called Lanlan,” Lanlan said with a smile. “It is a pleasure to meet you.”

Since there wasn't a vast difference in their ages, Lanlan remained quite collected.

Following a brief exchange, Wei Miao and Lanlan retreated to a corner to converse in low tones.

Meanwhile, Qin Yunzhang pulled his stunned gaze away and stared at Lin Su as if he were looking at a freak of nature. “You can actually awaken something like that?”

“It was merely a lucky break,” Lin Su replied with a humble grin.

There he goes again!

Qin Yunzhang couldn't help but roll his eyes in exasperation.

What kind of luck allows someone to instantly awaken a Pure Water Elemental Spirit and elevate it to the very peak of the Emperor tier?

For a moment, Qin Yunzhang’s desire to share his research breakthroughs vanished.

Every time this brat catches him off guard, he feels the need to return the favor!

With that thought, Qin Yunzhang decided he would fully master the Secret Technique first before revealing anything to Lin Su.

“Fine then, what are your next steps?” Qin Yunzhang asked with curiosity.

“I am going back to the research facility in the Desert Land to continue my work on the path of Faith Evolution,” Lin Su answered without a second thought. “Lanlan is highly compatible with that path, so I intend for it to be its primary rule path.”

“Using Faith Evolution as a rule path?” Qin Yunzhang didn't immediately grasp the depth of Lin Su’s plan, assuming it was a simple merger of concepts. He gave a slight nod. “Very well, proceed as you see fit.”

Leaving it at that, Qin Yunzhang turned to depart.

He needed to delve back into the Secret Technique Lin Su had produced the day before.

On the other side, Wei Miao was already leading Lanlan back toward Lin Su.

“My thanks, Researcher Lin,” Wei Miao said with a soft smile. “This is the first time I have felt what it is like to have kin.”

“The gratitude should be mine,” Lin Su answered with sincerity.

Had Wei Miao not discovered the dormant Lanlan and ensured its safety, Lin Su might have lost his only chance to bring it back to life.

“Let us put aside the pleasantries. Lanlan mentioned an interest in the power of faith and wishes to adopt those rules as its future path.” Wei Miao paused for a second. “My own rules are already established, so I cannot practice the path of Faith Evolution alongside you, but I do possess some unique insights that may be of use.”

As he spoke, Wei Miao raised his hand, and an orb of shimmering water-blue light materialized instantly.

“Accept this.” Wei Miao smiled, pressing the light orb toward Lanlan. “This is the greatest assistance I can provide.”

“Thank you…” Lanlan blinked in wonder, accepting the orb.

After a moment of absorbing the knowledge within, a look of astonishment crossed its small face.

The Pure Water Elemental Spirit tribe had been intimately connected to the oceans since their dawn; all sea creatures naturally felt a bond of goodwill toward them.
