Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1499 - 423: Homeward Journey and Unexpected Events (Double-Length, Finale Countdown: 28)

From the start, Miao Yunge had no intention of letting Lin Su depart by himself.

Their original arrangement involved sending several epic-level Beast Tamers to travel with him as a show of respect.

However, following such an ominous prophecy, it was deemed more cautious to have the sect’s immortal ranks serve as his escort instead.

"Mew...(≖ω≖)" (I can't see anything else...)

Qiuqiu gave a helpless shake of its head.

The vision it had witnessed was nothing but a monstrous, terrifying giant claw and the total annihilation of everyone beneath it.

"Allow me to escort young friend Lin Su," Cai Venerate offered of its own accord.

It happened to desire a trip to the Immortal Phoenix Sect in the Eastern Extreme Domain to speak with a member of its own species.

Guiding Lin Su back to the Immortal Phoenix Sect along the way was simply a matter of convenience.

Furthermore, within Self Transformation Valley, its combat strength was second only to Feather Venerate of the eighth realm.

The seventh realm Cai Venerate was in no way inferior to others; while its fusion rules were slightly less developed than Huan Venerate’s, its application of the Eight-Colored Divine Light was actually more refined due to the fortuitous encounters it found within the Lingxia Mystic Realm.

"Young friend Lin Su, what are your thoughts?" Miao Yunge asked with a faint smile, "You are well aware of Cai Venerate’s capabilities."

"If Senior Cai Venerate is willing to escort us, it would naturally be the best outcome," Lin Su replied, cupping his hands with a face full of appreciation, "But please wait a moment, Senior Miao. To ensure our safety, I will have Qiuqiu perform another prophecy."

He was not about to politely refuse at a time like this.

Nevertheless, it had to be confirmed whether Cai Venerate alone was enough to guarantee his protection.

He cast a look at Qiuqiu.

Connected through their telepathic bond, Qiuqiu immediately began channeling the Time Prophecy.

This time, the focus of the prophecy was whether Cai Venerate could successfully safeguard Lin Su and the five little ones during their return journey.

The vertical pupil situated on its forehead began to spin rapidly as Qiuqiu’s expression turned grave.

To ensure the highest level of accuracy for this prediction, it even utilized the Time’s Heart for additional support.

As the power of the time system surged continuously, a vision finally manifested before Qiuqiu.

In this scene, Lin Su and the five little ones were standing upon an island, encircled by a boundless ocean.

Is this...

The Endless Sea?

A brief doubt flickered in Qiuqiu's mind, but it was quickly dismissed.

To travel from the Northern Divine Domain to the Eastern Extreme Domain, one had to cross the Endless Sea.

Since the prophecy depicted Lin Su appearing in the Endless Sea, it suggested that Cai Venerate was capable of protecting everyone.

However...

Qiuqiu’s brow furrowed slightly.

There was a strange sense of familiarity regarding that island.

Was it perhaps the same island they had passed when traveling from the Eastern Extreme Domain to the Northern Divine Domain?

Hmm... it likely was.

Qiuqiu opened its eyes, its expression relaxing.

"Mew! (｡òωó｡)" (Everything is fine this time!)

Upon hearing this, Lin Su and the four little ones, along with Miao Yunge and the other immortals, let out a collective sigh of relief.

"Since that is the case, I will trouble Cai Venerate to escort us." Lin Su bowed once more toward Cai Venerate.

"Young friend Lin Su, there is no need for such formalities," Cai Venerate laughed heartily, "It seems a rogue immortal might cross our path, but I shall simply drive them off."

"I have been wanting to speak with my kin in the Eastern Extreme Domain anyway, so this is a perfect opportunity to go."

"Then I will certainly introduce Cai Venerate to Huan Venerate when we arrive," Lin Su quickly added.

"Splendid!" Cai Venerate’s joy increased.

With Lin Su providing the introduction, that fellow species member would surely be more respectful. Combined with Self Transformation Valley’s friendly ties to Lin Su, this interaction would undoubtedly bear fruit.

After returning, perhaps it might even achieve evolution into a nine-colored form.

"If everything is settled, shall we depart at once?"

"Yes! All my belongings are packed." Lin Su smiled and patted his Space Ring, then turned back toward Miao Yunge and the other immortals, "During my stay in the Northern Divine Domain, I received great care from the three seniors and many other immortal seniors. Lin Su is not a man who forgets favors; when the chance arises in the future, I will certainly repay this kindness."

"Senior Miao, seniors, I shall take my leave now."

A short while later, an Eight-colored Crane with a wingspan reaching tens of thousands of meters took flight from Self Transformation Valley. It soared over countless massive peaks, racing toward the southeastern reaches of the Northern Divine Domain.

Lin Su and the five little ones were seated upon the back of the Eight-colored Immortal Crane, looking toward the southeast with faces full of excitement.

They were going home!

Even though the three sects had treated him excellently during his month in the Northern Divine Domain, the Eastern Extreme Domain remained his true home.

His sect and his family were all waiting there.

As they traveled, Lin Su felt quite at ease, occasionally engaging in light conversation with Cai Venerate or appreciating the Northern Divine Domain's vistas.

Although Qiuqiu had originally predicted an immortal assault, the second prophecy following Cai Venerate’s inclusion suggested a smooth journey, so he wasn't particularly worried.

Despite lacking space system talents, Cai Venerate mastered the wind system, making its flight speed incredibly rapid.

Before long, a vast expanse of blue emerged on the horizon.

The Endless Sea lay directly ahead.

"It appears the danger has passed, so hold on tight!"

Cai Venerate let out a piercing cry and suddenly surged forward.

Violent winds shrieked in the emptiness, torn apart by sheer force in a near-brutal fashion. Cai Venerate’s silhouette nearly turned into a beam of light as it rapidly neared the Endless Sea.

The wide blue expanse grew quickly, filling the vision of Lin Su and the five little ones.

Then, everything turned a dark shade.

The sky had gone black!

In that sudden heartbeat, two massive and terrifying auras surged into the heavens.

Two figures, each spanning tens of thousands of meters, manifested from the void instantly.

One was an immortal dragon, its lithe form radiating a powerful beauty, with every scale seemingly flickering between the void and reality, making its body look hazy as if it might disappear at any moment.
