Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1446 - 407: New Changes in the Ghost Shadow Fusion Form

"Very well." Lin Su gave a nod, shifting his attention toward Soul Venerate. "I'll trouble you to lead the way."

...

Within the depths of the Spiritual Pond, Youyou's eyes slowly fluttered open.

The pupils that were once a mix of blue and purple were now veiled in a serene, silver luster. It appeared as though his eyes had been dipped in moonlight, making them look exceptionally vivid and brilliant.

As this radiance intensified, phantasmal phoenixes began to manifest one by one around his form.

One... two... three...

The manifestation did not cease even after the ninth Dark Phoenix had fully materialized.

From the empty void, a tenth phoenix emerged, its body semi-transparent and shimmering with a fluid, silver light as it beat its wings!

It was just as vibrant as the previous nine, possessing a complete form and an identical spirit.

The Spirit system energy surrounding it became nearly tangible—vast, ethereal, and so potent that anyone meeting its gaze would fall into an involuntary trance.

The Phoenix Transformation Scripture had reached the tenth phoenix!

As this Spirit system phoenix performed its dance, the rich energy contained within the Spiritual Pond resonated, causing the surface to churn with waves.

In Youyou’s spiritual perception, the level of that strange, intangible water had already dropped by half.

Condensing the tenth phoenix had drained a significant portion of its power.

Glancing toward Lin Su in the distance, Youyou’s eyes sparked with a trace of happiness.

Both Second Brother and Fifth Brother had finished their breakthroughs.

Is it finally time for Lin Su to begin absorbing the Soul Crossing Water?

I have to push myself harder.

I must visualize the eleventh phoenix successfully before Lin Su finishes with the Soul Crossing Water!

After cheering himself on internally, Youyou closed his eyes once more, sinking back into a state of visualization.

Within his mental world, the silhouette of the eleventh phoenix began to take shape, its form growing clearer with every passing second.

...

"So, is this the Soul Crossing Altar?"

Upon reaching another boat square, Lin Su finally laid eyes on the Soul Crossing Altar he had been waiting for.

It was an ancient and mysterious square altar. Hexagrams and various arcane symbols were carved into its base, while the exterior was lined with magnificent stone pillars decorated with intricate patterns and reliefs.

Suspended in the air at the center of the altar were two shimmering drops of liquid that radiated a brilliant light.

This was the Soul Crossing Water, the ultimate treasure of the Nether Soul Palace’s Nine Nether Realm.

Since the Nether Soul Palace had last opened the Nine Nether Realm two years ago, and given that this water forms at a rate of one drop per year, these two drops had clearly accumulated during the period the realm was sealed.

Nearby, a small cluster of mist was beginning to gather into a third drop, though it was still far from being fully realized.

Merely standing near the Soul Crossing Altar gave Lin Su a sensation of immense mental clarity.

He could feel the growth speed of his Beast Taming Space accelerating noticeably at that very moment.

This caused the look of anticipation in his eyes to burn even brighter.

He couldn't help but wonder exactly how much progress he would make by refining this drop of Soul Crossing Water.

"The Soul Crossing Water can be taken away, but the effects of absorption are far superior if done within the altar itself," Soul Venerate noted Lin Su’s eagerness and offered a kind, smiling reminder.

"I understand." Lin Su nodded. He stepped onto the altar and sat cross-legged directly beneath the Soul Crossing Water, immediately entering a state of meditation.

Reacting to Lin Su’s meditative aura, one drop of the Soul Crossing Water trembled slightly before darting toward him.

Moments later, the radiant liquid touched Lin Su’s forehead.

A wave of frigid energy surged from the top of his head down to his tailbone, making him shiver instinctively.

Immediately after, a massive flood of power poured into the Beast Taming Space within his mind.

This energy was far more potent than any resource Lin Su had ever used to grow his Beast Taming Space; it briefly gave him the illusion that the space might actually shatter from the pressure.

In just a few breaths, the Beast Taming Space showed visible signs of expansion.

If the journey from a seventh-grade Beast Taming Space to the eighth-grade were measured in stages, Lin Su had been at the very beginning of the first stage after his last breakthrough.

Now, he had already surged past the first stage.

A short while later, he reached the second stage of progress.

Even while deep in meditation, a look of shock crossed Lin Su’s face.

He could sense that only half of the Soul Crossing Water's power had been spent.

This meant a single drop could push his progress forward by four full stages.

Furthermore, this wasn't a transition from the sixth to the seventh grade, but from the seventh to the eighth.

The gap in difficulty between these levels was gargantuan.

The little ones, being mentally linked to Lin Su, also sensed the miraculous effects of the Soul Crossing Water.

Smiles of joy appeared on their faces.

After all, the quicker Lin Su’s Beast Taming Space reached the eighth grade, the sooner they could achieve their own breakthroughs to the King grade.

Meanwhile, Tata stood outside the altar, his expression a mix of happiness and a hint of longing.

Lin Su and the other four had all found their own lucky chances within the Nine Nether Realm.

Even though Big Brother hadn't gained as much here, he had recently gone through a rebirth.

Only Tata felt as though he hadn't contributed or gained much during this trip.

Sensing Tata’s mood, Qiuqiu gave him a gentle nudge with his tail.

"Meow! (｡òωó｡)" (I can use prophecy to find the five-colored item for you!)

"Tap!ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (Thank you, Big Brother!)

Tata’s eyes brightened instantly.

With Big Brother’s prophetic abilities, his chances of locating the five-colored item improved drastically.

Qiuqiu gave a small shake of his head, and then his vertical pupil flashed with the profound power of the Time system.

A multitude of images flickered deep within his eyes before finally settling on a single vision.

As the glow subsided, Qiuqiu’s eyes were alight with triumph.

"Meow! (｡✪ω✪｡)" (I’ve found it!)

He hadn't expected his first Time Prophecy since his transformation to be so effortless—likely a result of his Time system powers improving during his metamorphosis.

"Caw! (｡ϟ｡)" (Big Brother, you should take Tata to find that item right away!)

Guiguai spoke up from nearby.

He too had noticed Tata’s feelings of envy.

With Yingying staying behind, he felt the situation was well-handled.

Qiuqiu nodded and then transformed into a streak of light, carrying Tata toward the location revealed in his prophecy.

Guiguai and Yingying stayed by Soul Venerate’s side at the altar, waiting for Lin Su to finish refining the Soul Crossing Water.

An hour passed before the turbulence in Lin Su’s Beast Taming Space finally subsided.

The energy of the Soul Crossing Water had been entirely consumed.

Just as he predicted, that single drop had advanced his breakthrough progress by four whole stages.

It was a shame he was limited to just one drop, otherwise...

Just as that thought crossed his mind, something unexpected happened!

The second drop of Soul Crossing Water within the altar suddenly shot toward him!

"Hmm?!"
