Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1449 - 408: The Five-Colored Treasures of the Nine Nether Pavilion

Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Lin Su successfully negotiates with the Soul Venerate for access to the Nine Nether Pavilion’s ancient tomes, hoping to uncover secret techniques for Guigui and Yingying. After leaving the secret realm, the group encounters a disheartened Zhao Xuantong, whose progress has been vastly eclipsed by Lin Su’s pets. Back in the safety of his chamber, Lin Su examines a new five-colored treasure: a chest filled with hundreds of slender, crystalline needles. To Tata’s dismay, the group concludes that the only way to utilize these mysterious items may be to endure the pain of being pierced by them.

Tata gave a small nod.

Upon first receiving the item, it had attempted to use it—even trying to bite it—but the effort yielded no results.

However...

As it carefully accepted the slender needle from Lin Su’s hand, a look of doubt crossed Tata’s face.

Did it truly need to pierce its own skin with this object?

Scanning the small chest filled with hundreds of vibrant, multicolored treasures, Tata’s uncertainty slowly forged into a firm resolve.

It was merely a tiny prick; there was nothing to fear!

Without uttering a sound, it drove the pale blue needle into its palm.

"Ta...ta? ʕ⊙ᴥ⊙ʔ" (It hurts... wait, what?)

Tata let out an instinctive yelp the moment the needle broke the skin of its paw, only to realize a second later that there was no actual pain.

A refreshing, cool sensation emanated from the needle. Even though the tip was buried deep within Tata’s palm, it caused no discomfort.

Instead, the instant it made contact with its blood, a soft blue radiance ignited within the needle, flowing steadily from the tool into Tata’s hand.

It felt as though an untraceable, mysterious energy was being pumped directly into Tata’s system.

Observing that the method was actually working, Lin Su and the four other little companions leaned in close, watching the process with rapt attention.

A short while later, the needle’s glow faded away as it crumbled into a fine powder, vanishing into nothingness.

Yet, that strange power had already successfully integrated into Tata’s body.

"How do you feel? Is there any change?" Lin Su questioned urgently, his eyes fixed on Tata, who had closed its eyes to probe its internal state.

Based on their past findings, the light blue hue usually indicated passive or auxiliary abilities among these colorful treasures.

It remained a mystery what specific gift Tata would receive this time.

Before long, Tata’s eyes snapped open, a faint glimmer of blue light shimmering deep within its pupils.

"Ta! ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (My mind feels much clearer!)

A clearer mind?

Lin Su exchanged puzzled glances with the four little ones.

That description alone wasn't enough to identify the true function of the colorful item.

"Why not try absorbing a few more?" Lin Su suggested, picking out needles of various colors from the chest and passing them to Tata one by one.

Having survived the first attempt, Tata nodded without fear, actively pricking its palm and different points across its body.

As each needle disintegrated into dust and faded away, the light shining from Tata’s eyes intensified.

The glow was no longer limited to pale blue; as needles of different colors were consumed, the light shifted into a swirling, multicolored kaleidoscope around its irises.

Finally, when the very last needle was absorbed, the rainbow-colored ring in Tata’s eyes became blindingly bright, making it difficult to look at directly.

A surge of magnificent and powerful spiritual energy erupted from Tata, leaving Lin Su and the others wearing expressions of pure shock.

At first glance, the energy seemed similar to telekinesis or spiritual power.

However, Tata had not actually awakened either of those specific attributes through this process.

Tata stood perfectly still, looking dazed for a moment; then, as if a realization had struck, a spark of inspiration flashed in its eyes.

"Ta! ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ" (The scores of the Divine Court!)

When it had looked at those ancient, undeciphered musical manuscripts before, it had felt a strange sense of recognition.

Now, bolstered by this massive influx of spiritual energy, that sense of familiarity had become an absolute certainty.

Tata had a gut feeling that it could now harness the power hidden within those musical scores.

"Musical scores?" Lin Su blinked in surprise.

During the Divine Court's previous efforts to translate ancient texts, they had found a section containing unique content that looked like music; that specific portion had proven the most difficult to crack, with zero progress made so far, even while the various secret techniques of faith were being fully decoded.

Lin Su happened to have copies of those very scores in his possession.

He quickly pulled one from his Space Ring and offered it to Tata. "Are you able to use this?"

"Ta! ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (I can!)

The rainbow light in Tata’s eyes pulsed softly.

The complex and bizarre symbols scattered across the score were instinctively understood by Tata, manifesting as an ancient, haunting note.

A second note followed, then a third, and then a cascade of others.

Though the sounds originated from its mouth, the resonance of the multicolored spiritual power caused them to echo through the hall like celestial hymns, draped in a heavy divine aura.

It was undeniably a musical score, yet it was fundamentally different from any normal song.

As the notes vibrated, the supernatural energy drifting between heaven and earth seemed to be beckoned and commanded, rushing toward Tata and condensing into a terrifying force in the empty space behind it.

As that immense power began to take shape, the expressions on the faces of Lin Su and the five little ones grew incredibly grave.

"Stop!"

Lin Su finally cut in, preventing Tata from finishing the melody.

This hall was no place for such a dangerous experiment.

If Tata had continued the song, there was no telling what the consequences might have been.

He never would have guessed that combining the colorful items from the Nine Nether Pavilion with the Divine Court’s scores would result in such a breathtaking phenomenon.

"What was that just now?" he asked, unable to hide his curiosity as Tata returned to its senses.

"Ta! ʕòᴥóʔ" (Divine Court Sacrificial Song, Chapter Seven—Nihility!)

The title of the chapter it had just performed had appeared in Tata’s mind out of nowhere, but in the next heartbeat, its body swayed and stumbled.

That brief snippet of singing had already drained its monarch-level Recovery Power and the vast spiritual energy it had just gained.

Even if Lin Su hadn't intervened, Tata would have struggled to finish the entire chapter.

"The seventh..." Lin Su murmured, lost in thought.

It appeared that the Divine Court Sacrificial Song was part of an existing sequence.

The strength Tata had just displayed gave him a new perspective.

Lin Su had originally assumed that because Tata lacked specific attributes and only possessed Recovery Power, it was incapable of combat.

It seemed he had been operating under a false assumption.

Tata’s origins lay in a different world, where the rules for utilizing power might differ entirely from his own understanding.

Just as the paths of martial arts and Beast Tamers were distinct, other worlds likely held their own unique systems.

Tata’s performance convinced Lin Su that if the song were completed, it would become a devastatingly powerful attack.

The magnitude of such a strike could potentially rival an emperor or perhaps even something greater.

Tata’s bond with the Divine Court suggested that this was its natural method of fighting—it had simply remained hidden until this moment.

If the seventh chapter was too taxing to finish, perhaps other chapters required less energy and could be performed successfully?

With this thought in mind, Lin Su looked at Tata with a peculiar expression.

"Once you’ve regained your strength, we’re going to test the other scores!"

Recognizing its own newfound significance, Tata nodded with great enthusiasm.

"Ta! ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ" (Understood!)
