Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 807 - 350: The Soul of the Hanhai Whale! Ray Saint’s Promise!

Dragon City, the Imperial Capital.

This odd realm still lingers between the real and the illusory.

But this time around, the silhouette here didn't manifest on the lofty tower piercing through reality.

Rather, it leisurely strolled toward a distinctive spot.

The sound of surging water echoed from every direction,

as the silhouette gradually stepped inside, submerging beneath the water's surface. Before long, it entered a remarkable domain.

Water bubbled and flowed without cease, but the figure ignored it and settled directly onto one of the thrones in the submerged palace.

In the instant that followed, another ghostly form with an bizarre coiled stance appeared elsewhere.

Its body, blended seamlessly with the pale blue glow of the water, brimmed with the purest water elements.

A voice arose from it:

"What brings Holy Dragon to the Dragon Palace?"

The voice carried an uncanny, hard-to-describe vibe.

The words were uttered in the oldest and simplest tongue, the Serpentine Script.

The man's silhouette stretched out a hand, revealing an object.

It was a cyan bead.

The bead looked neither overly valuable nor wondrous.

Yet inside this bead dwelled a distinct spiritual fluctuation.

"This is..."

The ghostly form fused with water elements hesitated upon spotting it, seeming a bit confused.

The man's silhouette at last spoke:

"Water Venerable has visited."

With those words, a spectral figure materialized below the water.

It was none other than Jiao Ji's mermaid-like form.

Though spoken in the Dragon Nation’s tongue, the words-that-become-law effect remained profoundly baffling.

"Oh? So this is the legendary water element compensation gift?"

The Water Dragon’s spectral form eyed the bead in the man's grasp curiously, then pressed on in Serpentine Script:

"It doesn’t look all that special? Still, it’s no small matter, particularly since the Endless Sea Domain has drawn closer to those other powers over the years, beyond just the Snake Nation.

Now, with this ancient legend arriving, it truly bolsters the Endless Sea Domain’s position. And since Holy Dragon isn’t blocking its resurrection rite, that must be why?"

The man skipped the Water Dragon’s query and stated bluntly:

"This is a Soul Bead and a Soul Guiding Wick."

The man's declaration failed to startle the Water Dragon.

It simply glanced once more.

Soul Bead, an Emperor Level treasure, able to house a soul.

Soul Guiding Wick, a Spirit Saint Level item, which goes without saying, preserves spiritual essence and eternal insight.

Su Ping had employed the latter previously during External Incarnation training.

However, these two treasures in this person's possession clearly held value beyond their raw materials.

The Water Dragon grasped the meaning, reaching out a dragon claw to seize the Soul Bead, probing it lightly. Its deep blue eyes flickered:

"A Monarch Level Hanhai Whale soul from its living days? All this buildup for just this? Hanhai Whales are scarce beasts with Emperor Level potential upon maturity, but is it worth this much hype?

Besides, normally, it’d head to the Burial Ground, where greater interest lies."

The man’s eyes blinked, then he replied concisely:

"This is Nie Chuan’s Hanhai Whale pet soul..."

"Hmm?"

The Water Dragon halted briefly, as if straining to remember the name invoked.

Silence ensued.

After some time, the Water Dragon spoke again:

"That Water Venerable truly has foresight. Turns out its fish spawn touched by Sea God’s Will aren’t completely useless. This is quite the lavish present, so what’s your scheme?"

The man held back from replying hastily, pausing before adding:

"Revive the ‘Haina Baichuan’ cultivation technique, and strive to study and reconstruct it. Zhu Hong is presently in Dragon City too, and I’ll have him visit the Dragon Palace to aid you."

At these words, the Water Dragon’s spectral form glowed brighter:

"Then my deepest gratitude to Holy Dragon."

The man shook his head:

"Water Venerable comes with terms too—it seeks signs of the Flame Venerable across Dragon Nation and vows no harm to civilians. I made it swear to that."

"Ah, so that’s the case... Even so..."

"Fear not, just a unique avatar arrives. Though its powers are exceptional, it can’t slip my control."

Hearing the man’s assurance, the Water Dragon’s spectral form relaxed:

"With Holy Dragon’s confidence, I’ll hold my tongue. Nie Chuan was once a Dragon Tamer of the Four Seas Dragon Palace, and now its soul returns home. Back then, Nie Chuan’s chief pursuit was adapting ‘Haina Baichuan’ skills for the Water Dragon, but it fell short before triumph.

Now, aided by Zhu Hong and the Hanhai Whale’s recollections, resuming this grand unfinished work seems feasible."

"Alright, I’ll take my leave."

The man ended the chit-chat, his form shifting and vanishing, departing the singular underwater dragon palace in Dragon City.

Only the dim Water Dragon’s spectral form lingered, coiled in the hall. It gazed at the Soul Bead clutched in its claw, lost in thought over some mystery.
