Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1525 - 427: Lin Su’s Decision (2-in-1, Finale Countdown: 24)

The gazes of all five little ones shifted toward Lanlan after hearing those words.

Lanlan pressed her lips together and said, "I wish to return to Blue Star with everyone. I want to meet that member of my clan."

Just as Wei Miao had always been without peers, Lanlan had also spent her life in solitude.

A natural curiosity stirred within her regarding this unknown relative who had shown her such kindness.

Furthermore, Lanlan possessed a secondary motive for her desire to visit Blue Star.

When the denizens of the Endless Sea had looked upon her with their blessings, they had also imparted knowledge regarding the dire circumstances currently plaguing the region.

Because of this, it was imperative that she master the laws of faith on Blue Star without delay.

"For more than a century, the Time Master has held total dominion over the Endless Sea, seizing immense quantities of resources to distribute among the immortals who serve him," Lanlan explained, her voice heavy with gravity. "Utilizing these stolen riches, seven immortals of the eighth realm have risen within the Southern Wilderness Domain over the last hundred years!"

"That many?!"

Lin Su and the five little ones were visibly shaken by this revelation.

Although Yingying and Qiuqiu had previously delved into the memories of sea creatures, their probes had been shallow and mostly focused on weaker lifeforms, which limited the intelligence they could gather.

The true scale of the crisis in the Endless Sea was only now becoming clear to everyone.

Seven immortals of the eighth realm!

When counting the Time Master himself, the total reached eight.

Such a monstrous force possessed the capability to flatten any domain they chose.

Yet, the Northern Divine Domain and the Eastern Extreme Domain remained completely in the dark about this threat.

Lin Su suspected that the West Profound Domain was likely in the same state of ignorance, despite him never having visited it.

A grim shadow fell over his face.

Having encountered the Time Master before, he was well aware that the villain’s greed would not be easily satisfied.

Once his strength reached its peak, the three human-controlled domains would surely be his next targets.

If that day arrived, the millennia of resentment harbored by the divine martial beasts would erupt with catastrophic force.

"Our first priority is returning to Blue Star," Lin Su declared, taking a sharp breath as he mapped out their next moves. "We owe President Shen and the others an explanation, and Lanlan must deepen her grasp of the Faith Evolution path."

"Since Lanlan’s laws of faith are tied to the inhabitants of these waters, there is no better time to comprehend them than while we remain within the Endless Sea's influence."

"After that, we must head back to the Eastern Extreme Domain immediately." He paused briefly before continuing, "We need to reassure our Master, but more importantly, we must alert the Sect to the Time Master’s power so they can prepare for what's coming."

The six little ones offered no resistance to Lin Su’s plan.

With a shimmering flash, Lin Su withdrew all six companions into the Beast Taming Space and positioned himself against a coastal reef.

"Put me under hypnosis and wake me in sixty seconds."

A moment later, his mind grew heavy and he slipped into the dark void of unconsciousness.

Traverse!

...

"King!"

An immortal, whose physical form stretched for tens of thousands of meters, suddenly materialized. He knelt before the Time Master, his expression a mix of fanatical devotion and deep respect.

"A moment ago, a tremor seemed to ripple through the Endless Sea." The Time Master’s eyes burned with a piercing golden radiance, resembling a deity who viewed all life as insignificant. "Did your sweep of the waters reveal anything?"

"Indeed!" the immortal replied in a low tone, eager to prove his worth. "My kin reported strange fluctuations originating from a small island near the West Profound Domain."

"Following the interrogation of many local sea dwellers, it was confirmed that a unique spirit beast called the Pure Water Primordial Spirit has manifested there. The creatures of the Endless Sea have begun to revere it as a protective god."

"Pure Water Primordial Spirit..." the Time Master whispered, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his features.

The name of that lineage felt strangely familiar, yet distant.

An instinctive sense of discomfort washed over him.

"With the conflict against humanity drawing near, the Endless Sea serves as our rear base; no instability can be tolerated," the Time Master spoke slowly, his gaze sharpening.

"I understand perfectly!" the eighth-realm immortal answered firmly. "I shall depart at once to eradicate that island and the Pure Water Primordial Spirit dwelling upon it!"

"No..." The Time Master shook his head. His massive, ethereal form began to rise from the vast plains like a surging golden cloud. "I will handle this personally."

"King, you would go yourself?"

"I have not engaged in battle since ascending to the ninth realm," the Time Master noted with a frigid light in his eyes. "It is time to exert myself and show those delusional creatures in the sea that their hopes are nothing but a fantasy."

"Furthermore..."

"That island sits close to the West Profound Domain."

"It provides a perfect chance to probe that old man, the Martial Emperor."

"A practitioner in the Martial Domain Realm should not be able to survive for two thousand years. I am quite curious about the methods he has used to cling to life for so long."

...

High above the waves of the Endless Sea, a massive, towering tree flickered in and out of existence.

It remained invisible to the world, shrouded deep within the void.

The tree’s trunk and foliage were nearly translucent, appearing as though they were constructed from layers of distorted space.

This was the Banyan Lord, the entity that had terrified the great sects of the Eastern Extreme Domain before racing from the Immortal Phoenix Sect to the Endless Sea to find Lin Su.

At this moment, the aged face of the Banyan Lord formed within the void, looking troubled.

He had searched over half of the Endless Sea using the tracking mark on the Jade Leaf he gave Lin Su, yet he had found no trace of the youth.

By his estimates, the mark was on the verge of fading away.

If that happened, locating Lin Su would become an almost impossible task.
