Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1614 450: The Grand Finale (Part 3)

However, upon hearing the news of another expert reaching the Martial Domain Realm within the family, Lin Zhen Nan still felt a sense of reassurance deep within.

Reflecting on years past, in a forgotten corner of the Eastern Extreme Domain's Yan Kingdom, the Martial Domain Realm was an existence beyond his wildest dreams.

But those days were now a distant memory.

Today, Lin Zhen Nan had ascended to the Martial God Realm, opting for early retirement to embrace a life of leisure. He now roams freely, journeying across vast stretches of the Divine Martial World, occasionally engaging in friendly spars with the reclusive Martial Emperor dwelling in the deep mountains, or practicing his spearmanship with the ever-available Lin Su for amusement.

Aware that this update would please Lin Zhen Nan, Lin Ye let out a chuckle. He then turned to Lin Su, gave him an affectionate wink, and proceeded to place a piece of steamed fish into Lin Su's bowl.

"Su'er, recently I've been traveling to other worlds with Blood Mad and Fat Lu. They've proposed that the three of us, much like Brother Yan, should venture out to witness the chaos. Are you amenable?"

"The three of you simply cannot stay put," Lin Su responded, rolling his eyes in mild exasperation. He picked up a piece of fish, combining it with a mouthful of rice as he ate. "It's not that I forbid you from going, but the chaos presents considerable danger for those in the Tao Source Realm."

"Most cultivators at the Tao Source Realm might exhaust their lives without fully comprehending my Tao Domain. It is only prudent to first firmly establish oneself within the Tao Domain and break through to the Tao Realm before venturing into the chaos, as it offers greater safety."

"And yet, you three, having only just achieved the Martial God Realm, are eager to explore the chaos?"

The former Pavilion Master of Blood Sea Tower, Ji Wupo, never attained the Martial God Realm during his lifetime. Prior to his passing, he transferred the leadership to Xue Jiao, recognized as the most talented individual within the sect.

Consequently, the Blood Sea Tower found itself led by the most audacious Pavilion Master in its entire history.

Following Lin Su's breakthrough to the Tao Domain Realm, numerous stars materialized beyond the Divine Martial World, reminiscent of the former Blue Star. Xue Jiao, with remarkable decisiveness, relocated the entirety of Blood Sea Tower to a Star World and embarked on ambitious ventures, her formidable influence spreading like wildfire across countless Star Worlds.

Zhou Chaotian, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Armament Pavilion, was more fortunate than Ji Wupo. Lin Su had provided him with a deciphered manuscript of the Heaven Rank Secret Realm, which enabled him to break through to the Martial God Realm.

However, he chose not to continue his tenure as Pavilion Master, instead activating his retirement plan and entrusting the responsibilities of Pavilion Master to another.

Initially, Zhou Chaotian intended to appoint Lin Ye as the new Pavilion Master, hoping to forge a closer connection with Lin Su.

Regrettably, Lin Ye had already assumed the mantle of the new head of the Lin Family and gracefully declined the offer.

In his stead, Lu Ziye emerged as a standout candidate, becoming the new Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Armament Pavilion.

Yet, before long, Zhou Chaotian came to regret this particular decision.

The impetuous Lu Ziye dismantled the neutrality principles established by the founder within mere days of assuming the role of Pavilion Master and began a spree of adventuring alongside Xue Jiao throughout the Tao Domain.

In contrast to the trio who pursued martial arts, among their former companions, Yan Susen, who followed the path of beast taming, leveraged the system to achieve the most significant advancements.

Having successfully ascended to the mythic-level Beast Tamer status and reached the Tao Realm, Yan Susen made the choice to depart from the Divine Martial Tao Domain and seek training within the chaos.

Even now, although he had not strayed from Lin Su's observational range, through a series of fortunate encounters, he managed to establish himself firmly within the chaos.

Ji Qinghuan also achieved mythic-level Beast Tamer status and departed the Tao Domain.

She ultimately discovered that Lin Su was, in fact, Ji Heng.

This revelation evoked a complex tapestry of emotions within her as she faced her disciple once more.

Despite Lin Su's earnest attempts to dissuade her after her breakthrough to mythic-level Beast Tamer, Ji Qinghuan remained resolute in her decision to leave and find solace in the chaos.

Perhaps this was also her chosen method of alleviating the peculiar tension that now existed between master and disciple.

Following Ji Qinghuan's departure, Lin Su was no longer deemed suitable to continue as Sect Master, and the position was subsequently passed to Mu Yuxing of the Immortal Phoenix Sect.

Back in the North Divine Domain, the Three Beast Taming Sects and the Beast Palace located in the West Profound Domain had been unified under the banner of the Immortal Phoenix Sect.

After a protracted period of development and integration of these various sects, they ultimately coalesced into the preeminent force in beast taming within Lin Su's Tao Domain—a revered sanctuary visited by countless Beast Tamers in admiration.

"Very well."

Observing the earnest, expectant look on Lin Ye's face, Lin Su relented with a helpless nod.

After all, those three fellows of the Tao Source Realm could hardly escape his notice.

Should any mishap befall them, his formidable power would readily enable him to restore them to life.

"The three of you are heading into the chaos; it might be quite some time before you return," Lin Su stated calmly. "The flow of time within the chaos is disparate from the Tao Domain. Even I cannot be certain how many years will have passed in the Tao Domain by the time you emerge."

"Have you determined who will assume stewardship of the Lin Family, Blood Sea Tower, and Heavenly Armament Pavilion?"

"That's simple enough." Lin Ye's face suddenly brightened with anticipation upon hearing Lin Su's tentative nod. He abruptly stood, letting out a hearty laugh. "Blood Mad and Fat Lu can entrust their sect's authority to their disciples at any moment. As for the Lin Family, it can be passed to my son..."

Before Lin Ye could finish his sentence, his expression froze, his earlier excitement evaporating.

Blast it all...

In his eagerness, he had uttered something he shouldn't have!

Several lines creased Lin Su's forehead as he involuntarily turned his gaze toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu quietly set down her chopsticks and let out a soft sigh.

"Su'er, look. Little Ye has married several wives and fathered numerous children, not to mention countless descendants spreading far and wide."

"When will Mother get to hold her grandson...?"

"Mother, this..."

Lin Su coughed lightly. Even with his cultivation at the Tao Domain Realm, he found himself unable to withstand such pointed questioning.

The moment had arrived!

The six youngsters buried their heads in their meals, secretly communicating through telepathy.

"Who is meant to steer the conversation away this time?"

"I believe it falls to Second Brother?"

"Very well, I happen to have a matter of business to discuss with Lin Su."

Yingying lifted his head, a fleeting mask appearing, and an ancient, rune-engraved stone, spanning over a dozen meters, materialized from thin air within the void.

This suddenly appearing stone in the dining hall immediately captured Chen Yu's attention.

As the family's eyes turned towards it, Yingying slowly began to speak.

"A few days ago, I chanced upon this stone at the former location of the Eastern Extreme Domain."

"This stone is something I encountered in my early years, even before I met Lin Su."

"Reflecting on it now, perhaps my early awakening of the magic pocket and the development of Yingying's consciousness were somehow connected to it."

"Even with my current cultivation at the Tao Realm, I still cannot fully comprehend its secrets."

"Even employing my understanding of the Space Path, I cannot shrink it."

"Let me examine it." Lin Su stood and approached the stone, a silent sense of relief washing over him for having once again evaded his mother's persistent inquiries, while simultaneously finding himself genuinely intrigued by the stone.

He reached out to touch the stone. In the next instant, the fundamental principles of the Tao Domain Realm began to unravel its essence from its very core.

Mysterious runes etched across its surface illuminated brightly at this moment.

A connection, discernible only to those at the Tao Domain Realm level, extended from within the stone towards the depths of the chaos.

Following this profound connection, Lin Su's gaze penetrated the distant, far-reaching chaos.

Faintly, within the immense expanse, he discerned the silhouette of another powerful expert.

There stood a man clad in pristine white chef's attire, encircled by seven beings cloaked in starlight, their forms indistinct yet radiating immense power. These seven figures shared an unspoken, potent link with the man, appearing mutually reliant, a familiar sense of déjà vu stirring within Lin Su.

Could this be another facet of the Spirit Chef Path?

As if sensing Lin Su's scrutiny, the man slowly turned his head and gestured in Lin Su's general direction.

Lin Su paused for a brief moment, then suddenly let out a chuckle and remarked,

"Speaking of which, I have also reached the Tao Domain Realm."

"In this vast expanse of chaos, shouldn't I, much like Shou, venture forth to meet some new acquaintances?"
