Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1563: 436: Lin Su's Plan

Immortal Phoenix Sect.

Upon catching the sigh echoing from the void, Lin Su grew quiet.

The Martial Emperor had perished.

In his last stand, the Martial Emperor poured everything into sealing off the whole West Profound Domain, granting humanity a vital month to prepare.

Though he harbored no deep affection for this famed icon, Lin Su couldn't help but feel a touch of admiration right then.

“We have just one month remaining…” Ji Qinghuan let out a gentle sigh, her features turning grave, “Right now, the only path forward is for the North Divine Domain and Eastern Extreme Domain to unite with the survivors the Martial Emperor protected in the West Profound Domain, so we might stand against the Time Master.”

“Venerable Rong, do you believe you can reach the Mythic Realm in the next month?”

She had to inquire, her gaze shifting to Venerable Rong, who had materialized next to her.

Amid the shifting world, the wounds inflicted on Venerable Rong by the Time Master and fellow immortals had fully mended by now.

Beyond that, it had pushed ahead even more, daring to ascend to the Ninth Realm through insights drawn from clashing with the Time Master.

Within the Immortal Phoenix Sect today, Venerable Di, once at the Seventh Realm, along with Kun Venerate and Tree Venerable, had all surged to the Eighth Realm, while the remaining immortals advanced swiftly each in their own way.

Yet Venerable Rong remained the nearest to matching the Time Master's power.

Should Venerable Rong manage a breakthrough to the Mythic Realm in that month, victory in the coming fight might still be possible.

“No way.” Venerable Rong paused briefly, its tone laced with regret, “My recent jump to the Ninth Realm means a vast chasm still separates me from the Mythic Realm.”

“Decades from now, I might give it a shot, but at present…” it shook its head, “This brief window makes it out of reach.”

At Venerable Rong's response, a shadow fell over Ji Qinghuan's eyes.

She understood full well how improbable it was, yet she clung to that faint spark of optimism.

Lin Su, positioned close by, shared a quick look with the six little ones accompanying him.

In the Eastern Extreme Domain, Venerable Rong stood as the strongest immortal force.

Besides that, Liu Cangming and Zhou Chaotian ranked next, both striving to pierce the Ninth Heaven of the Martial Domain Realm.

Achieving parity with the Time Master in a single month seemed utterly futile for them.

Across in the West Profound Domain, the Emperor Martial Palace's Palace Master, freshly revived and once a lone warrior against many Ninth Realm foes, had been saved by the Martial Emperor and whisked away to the North Divine Domain.

However, his breakthrough to the Ninth Heaven of the Martial Domain Realm was brand new, and hoping for a leap to the Martial God Realm so soon proved just as unattainable.

In the North Divine Domain, the three immortal legacies from the Three Beast Taming Sects had each climbed to the Ninth Realm following the world's upheavals, and among the four martial sects, three experts at the Ninth Heaven emerged too…

When tallied up like this, excluding the Time Master, humanity boasted a solid lineup of peak powerhouses.

But factoring in the Time Master turned sheer numbers irrelevant.

Lin Su realized that no immortal or Martial Domain Realm cultivator could hope to ascend to a higher realm in merely a month.

As for those fabled beast tamers…

Their path to the mythic tier loomed even farther off.

Forgetting anyone else, Lin Su himself lacked clarity on how to achieve such a breakthrough.

Lin Su let out a quiet inner sigh.

In truth, paths forward weren't absent for him; he had several.

Head back to Blue Star, leverage its time acceleration to propel his own growth, shatter into the mythic-level beast tamer beyond legendary status, and then return to fell the Time Master.

This stood as the prime strategy.

Should that prove unworkable, and if he failed to hit that height, then bide time until Blue Star's human-friendly immortals attained the mythic level, reveal the power to traverse two realms, summon them to Shénwǔ for the strike.

This formed the secondary approach.

In case Blue Star's immortals took ages without reaching mythic status, then ferry over those poised to claim mythic or Martial God Realm breakthroughs to Blue Star, afford them extended time to evolve, and bring them back.

This marked the fallback scheme.

Should all these falter, Lin Su's sole recourse lay in bargaining with Blue Star to relocate Shénwǔ's blameless humans there, blend them with Blue Star's indigenous beings, and forsake Shénwǔ entirely.

This ranked as the direst option.

Whichever route he picked, though, none allowed swift execution.

Thus, once Lin Su committed, he could end up stranded on Blue Star for decades or centuries.

While Tata's talents made it feasible in principle, such an extended duration rivaled his whole lifespan so far; understandably, he wavered.

Earlier, Lin Su had nursed a trace of optimism.

Thanks to the Martial Emperor's efforts, maybe he could avoid direct involvement, and the Time Master might yet fall.

In that scenario, drastic steps wouldn't prove necessary.

Now, it seemed those extremes loomed unavoidable.

Yet prior to departing for Blue Star, certain arrangements demanded his attention.

With a mental shift, Lin Su faced Ji Qinghuan at his side, “Master, I intend to venture into the Southern Wilderness Domain.”

“What?” Surprise flickered across Ji Qinghuan's expression, “The Southern Wilderness Domain?”

“Barring the Time Master himself, no exotic beast poses a real threat to me,” Lin Su affirmed with a nod, “The Time Master sits sealed by the Martial Emperor for the moment, so the Southern Wilderness Domain lies wide open—perfect timing.”

“From what I've gathered, the Time Master oversees a time-based Heavenly Rank Secret Realm.”

“Should I unravel its array of hidden arts, I'll grasp the Time Master's tactics far better,” Lin Su halted briefly, “Moreover, the other Heavenly Rank Secret Realms scattered in the Endless Sea have all been relocated by the Time Master to the Southern Wilderness Domain.”
