Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1526: 427: Lin Su's Decision
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Beyond his mounting anxiety, a profound sense of apprehension flickered within his gaze.
Two centuries had passed since he last ventured into the depths of the Endless Sea.
After so many years of absence, it appeared that the Endless Sea had undergone dramatic transformations.
As the Banyan Sovereign conducted his search, he stumbled upon numerous peculiarities along the way.
It seemed as though many conduits had been established between the Endless Sea and the Southern Wilderness Domain.
Because finding Lin Su was his primary concern, the Banyan Sovereign pushed these observations aside for the time being.
Nevertheless, a lingering feeling of dread took root in his heart.
Once Lin Su was safely located, he knew he would have to return to the Endless Sea to investigate these occurrences thoroughly.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, the Banyan Sovereign shifted his position toward the west after failing to detect the mark of the Jade Leaf Ruyi nearby.
The moment he manifested above a different sector of the Endless Sea, his frame trembled slightly. An expression of pure ecstasy quickly replaced his worry.
He had found it!
At the very edge of his sensory range, he picked up a faint resonance that shared his own origin.
It was the distinct imprint left by the Jade Leaf Ruyi.
Lin Su was in that direction!
The Banyan Sovereign tore through the firmament, racing toward the source of his perception at incredible speed.
…
Blue Star.
Immediately upon waking within the Divine Court Secret Realm, Lin Su checked on Lanlan’s condition.
Seeing that Lanlan remained unharmed brought him a measure of relief.
Regardless of the underlying reasons, it was now clear that the born Lanlan would not be negatively impacted by the unique essence of the Pure Water Elemental Spirit.
Coexistence with Wei Miao was possible.
Once he confirmed this, Lin Su departed the Divine Court Secret Realm in haste. Utilizing several flash steps, he arrived at the Miao Blue Beast Zone.
“Lin Su, your timing is perfect. I spent the entire night analyzing the Secret Technique you provided yesterday, and I’ve actually formed some concepts…” Lin Su had barely reached Wei Miao’s palace when an excited Qin Yunzhang rushed toward him.
Was an improvement truly possible?
Lin Su was momentarily stunned, but he quickly composed himself. “Grandfather Qin, there is no hurry regarding the Secret Technique.”
He turned his gaze toward Wei Miao, who had just appeared. “I have successfully awakened the Pure Water Elemental Spirit.”
A sudden silence blanketed the palace.
In the next breath, both Qin Yunzhang and Wei Miao stared at him with wide, disbelieving eyes.
He had awakened it already?!
The dilemma they had failed to solve for over a month had been settled by Lin Su in a single night?
“You…” Qin Yunzhang started to speak, but the words failed him.
Wei Miao was the first to recover his wits, asking eagerly, “Am I able to meet this fellow tribesman?”
“Of course.” Lin Su nodded. Dark patterns of light wove together at his feet, and shortly after, six small figures manifested from the glow.
Wei Miao’s attention was instantly captured by Lanlan.
Lanlan reacted the same way.
As both encountered another of their own kind for the first time, a natural bond of kinship surged within them.
“You…” Wei Miao hurried forward, taking Lanlan’s hand with an expression of deep affection.
“I am called Lanlan,” Lanlan said with a smile. “It is a pleasure to meet you.”
Since there was little difference in their ages, Lanlan remained quite poised.
After exchanging a few words, Wei Miao and Lanlan moved to the side to converse in private.
Meanwhile, Qin Yunzhang finally looked away, staring at Lin Su as if he were looking at a freak of nature. “You can actually awaken something like that?”
“It was merely a lucky break,” Lin Su replied with a humble grin.
There he goes again!
Qin Yunzhang couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the response.
What kind of 'lucky break' allows someone to immediately awaken a Pure Water Elemental Spirit and elevate it to the peak of the Emperor tier?
For a moment, Qin Yunzhang felt discouraged from sharing his research progress with Lin Su.
Every time this brat shocked him, he felt the urge to return the favor just once!
With that in mind, Qin Yunzhang decided he would fully master the Secret Technique before revealing anything to Lin Su.
“Fine then. What do you intend to do now?” Qin Yunzhang asked with curiosity.
“I’m heading back to the Desert Land research center to continue my work on the path of Faith Evolution,” Lin Su answered without a second thought. “Lanlan has a high compatibility with Faith Evolution, so I intend to let it adopt that as its rule path.”
“Using Faith Evolution as a rule path?” Qin Yunzhang didn't immediately grasp the depth of Lin Su's plan, assuming it was a simple merger of the two. He nodded slightly. “Very well, proceed with your plan.”
Leaving it at that, Qin Yunzhang turned to depart.
He needed to dive back into the Secret Technique Lin Su had brought him the day before.
On the other side, Wei Miao led Lanlan back to Lin Su’s side by the hand.
“My thanks to you, Researcher Lin.” Wei Miao offered a soft smile. “This is the first time I have felt what it is like to have kin.”
“I am the one who should thank you,” Lin Su replied with gravity.
Had Wei Miao not protected the unawakened Lanlan, Lin Su might have lost his only chance to bring it back to life.
“Let us put aside the pleasantries. Lanlan mentioned an interest in the power of faith and hopes to pursue the faith rules as a future path.” Wei Miao paused for a moment. “My own rules are already established, so I cannot practice the path of Faith Evolution myself, but I possess certain insights regarding it that may be of use.”
As he spoke, Wei Miao raised his hand, and a sphere of water-blue light materialized instantly.
“Take this.” Wei Miao smiled, pressing the light orb into Lanlan’s hands. “This is the greatest assistance I can provide.”
“Thank you…” Lanlan blinked, accepting the glowing sphere.
After a brief moment of realization, a look of pure astonishment crossed its small face.
The Pure Water Elemental Spirit race had been intimately connected to the oceans since their origin; consequently, all sea creatures naturally felt a sense of kinship toward them.
