Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1496: 422: Azure Invitation, Breaking Through Tier 8! (2-in-1, Finale Countdown: 29) (Part 5)

Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Deep-seated resentment drives the immortal Yue Xie to conspire with the Hidden Illusion King, targeting Lin Su out of envy for the young human's access to prestigious secret realms. Their assassination plot is bolstered by a clandestine alliance with the martial arts faction, who seek to weaken the beast-taming sects through political sabotage and targeted violence. Meanwhile, Lin Su enters the Spiritual Radiance Secret Realm, choosing to prioritize the growth of his companion Youyou before pursuing his own breakthrough to the eighth rank. Under Feather Venerate’s guidance, the group navigates various spiritual opportunities, eventually arriving at the majestic Cliff of Morning Glow to face their next trial.

This location truly appeared to be the premier vantage point for observing Lingxia Palace.

Lin Su stood in awe, gazing at the palace before eventually turning his attention to Cai Zun, who had minimized his stature nearby. "Cai Zun, where can the Spiritual Radiance Jade be found?"

“To tell the truth, the origin of the Spiritual Radiance Jade has always been a profound enigma within our Self Transformation Valley.” Cai Zun gave a light chuckle. “We owe it to you, young Lin Su. By translating the ancient scrolls of Lingxia Palace, you have helped us solve this mystery.”

“Is that so?” Lin Su blinked in surprise.

He wondered if the answer truly lay within the ancient texts he had deciphered.

“The lore of Lingxia Palace teaches that light is the fundamental building block of all existence,” Cai Zun explained, his eyes reflecting a sense of reverence. “And among these lights, some possess far greater value than others.”

“In the eyes of Lingxia Palace, the most exalted light in existence is known as Constant Light Marrow,” Cai Zun said in a hushed tone. “Constant Light Marrow represents the absolute refinement of light—the single spiritual thread that binds the world together.”

Lin Su gave a small nod of understanding.

Since Cai Zun had gathered this information from the scrolls Lin Su himself had translated, Lin Su was naturally familiar with the concepts.

He recalled reading about it and had been deeply curious about the nature of this Constant Light Marrow.

However, the descriptions in the scrolls were vague, leaving him without a clear picture of its actual appearance.

As he listened to Cai Zun, a realization began to dawn on him.

Mentioning it at this specific moment could only mean one thing...

Confirming his suspicion, Cai Zun’s voice drifted over once more.

“And for those of us who were once ignorant of these names, we called the Constant Light Marrow...”

“The Spiritual Radiance Jade!”

The moment Cai Zun finished speaking, a violent gale suddenly erupted upon the cliffside.

A magnificent spectacle began to unfold right before Lin Su’s eyes.

This powerful wind originated from the Morning Glow Cliff and surged toward Lingxia Palace as if guided by an intelligent spirit.

Wrapped in a swirling, limitless prism of mist, the wind seemed to carve ancient formations into the air, tracing runes and pathways through the thinning haze.

As the wind rushed past, runes flickered into existence momentarily, uncovering hidden palatial grounds through the gaps in the mist.

To Lin Su’s amazement, the numerous palaces he had previously explored suddenly erupted with brilliant radiance as the runes interlaced.

The illumination was sudden; it was as if those seemingly ordinary buildings were actually forged from pure light, now offering up a portion of their essence to the calling wind.

Wisps of light were pulled into shimmering lines across the sky, swept away by the roaring gale.

The wind continued its journey, repeating the process at every location it touched.

The entirety of Lingxia Palace began to vibrate, appearing as though it were celebrating a grand, ancient festival.

“This is...”

Witnessing these events, Lin Su’s eyes widened in shock.

He suddenly remembered a brief passage from the Lingxia Palace archives.

There was a recorded tradition in the palace known as "walking with borrowed light."

It was said that the masters of old took pleasure in lending and exchanging their light with one another.

The scene before him was a perfect reflection of those ancient descriptions.

It was as if the wind itself was borrowing light from the palace, and the palace was graciously responding, bringing an old tradition back to life.

Nearby, Tata wore an expression of deep reflection.

While seeking paths for Youyou earlier, Tata had discovered the Five-Colored Object with Youyou’s assistance.

Unlike previous instances of acquiring such objects, Tata felt as though the world had given it as a willing gift this time.

The spiritual resonance currently filling Lingxia Palace triggered a new resolve within Tata’s heart.

Accepting these Five-Colored Objects from various Heavenly Rank Secret Realms to grow stronger was a massive debt of kindness.

Tata felt a strong desire to return this favor.

If it ever attained sufficient power, it would bring all the Heavenly Rank Secret Realms together and return the ancient world to its former glory!

As this silent, ambitious vow took root, Tata’s eyes suddenly flashed with a vibrant, Five-Colored light.

Though its raw Cultivation didn't immediately spike, a dormant power within its body seemed to stir and begin to flow.

Tata’s internal transformation went unnoticed by the others.

The wind, having reached the midpoint of its path, had begun a new stage of evolution.

The captured threads of light followed the wind’s wake, weaving themselves together into a complex, specific pattern.

Like a loom at work, the light was being spun into solid sheets!

“Hmm! (❁✪◡✪❁)” (That is the Xianzhi Sutra!)

Having mastered the Xianzhi Sutra, Youyou instantly identified the familiar power at work.

Just as Youyou spoke, the fierce gale began to retreat toward them.

It carried the gathered Endless Light, discarding vast amounts of energy through the weaving process until only the purest essence remained.

In the end, a cluster of shimmering brilliance came to a rest, floating quietly in front of Lin Su.

It was a stunning piece of jade.

A gem constructed entirely from woven light.

This was the Constant Light Marrow; this was the legendary Spiritual Radiance Jade!

“Press it against your forehead to begin the absorption,” Cai Zun instructed softly.

Lin Su moved forward, cupping the Constant Light Marrow in both hands.

He composed himself, offering a respectful bow toward Lingxia Palace, before solemnly placing the Constant Light Marrow against his brow.

The jade pulsed once as if being drawn in, and in a flash, it merged directly into Lin Su’s forehead.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion echoed in his mind as a massive wave of power surged from his forehead, rushing toward his Beast Taming Space!
