Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1580 - 441: Farewell, Blue Star
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Following the formation of the Blue Star Alliance, the old border frontline from those distant days faded away as an active boundary, yet it wasn't shifted or torn down. Rather, it endures as a picturesque landmark, honoring that remarkable period and alerting later generations to the true value of harmony.
Xing Yun continues to live, though years have marked him deeply.
He pursued the way of martial arts, and thanks to the supplies and training methods Lin Su shared afterward, he finally advanced to the Martial Arts Extreme Realm.
Starting so late in life, he could never aspire to the Martial Domain Realm; that boundary marked his utmost achievement.
Still, Xing Yun feels deeply content, since possessing the power to clash with emperors using only his fists counts as tremendous might.
These days, he serves as a guide at the border frontline attraction. During his free moments, he'd grab a flask of liquor and head to the cemetery of old, sharing tales of the current world with his departed comrades, teasing that they missed out on seeing it firsthand.
When a bit tipsy, he'd unleash wild swings with his faithful Black Cloud Stick amid the graves, echoing the battles of yesteryear.
On Blue Star, martial arts never fully blossomed because it clashed with the Beast Taming Space.
Yet it refused to vanish entirely.
As special abilities awakened, martial arts began to harmonize with select ones, allowing this ancient discipline to reignite brilliantly across Blue Star.
Qin Nan and Qin Yunzhang both ascended to the legendary tier in the end.
Qin Yunzhang persists in his endless pursuits of knowledge; for him, the breakthrough to legendary tier likely means just more hours for his experiments.
Upon hitting the legendary tier, Qin Nan often fields calls to join studies and discussions in far-off spots, her renown now rivaling her grandfather's.
Nan Yue Ran achieved the legendary tier as well.
In the end, he never let Yun Shu best Qiuqiu, not even a single time.
But with Qiuqiu's freakish displays of power growing ever more evident, Yun Shu long ago abandoned any such hopes.
As a result, the connection between the tamer and her beast stayed strong and largely untouched by the rivalry.
Post-breakthrough, Nan Yue Ran's sixth bonded pet remained a creature from the deep seas.
The Ocean Affairs Department dissolved alongside the Blue Star Alliance's rise, but he poured his efforts into fostering stronger ties between watery depths and solid ground.
Numerous individuals and creatures who once crossed paths with Lin Su have slipped into the currents of their own fates.
...
Five centuries following the mythical shift.
Lin Su, tempered by five hundred years, now carries the look of middle age.
All companions from the past who failed to reach the legendary tier have long since departed this world.
Even Lin Su, through his rare public sightings, evolved into a figure of legend, his name etched into the lessons of young scholars.
Grown used to partings, his inner peace has ripened steadily.
After roaming across half of Blue Star's expanse, Lin Su's Beast Taming Space reached such flawless completion that no further enhancements were possible.
Maybe shaped by Blue Star itself, the space within now resembles a full planetary realm.
This world splits broadly into six zones: above, below, left, right, forward, and backward.
Five zones brim with Qiuqiu's forces of time and fate, the infernal essence from Ghost Ghost and Yingying, Youyou's shattering and elemental forces, Tata's Rule of Retrospective and Battle Power, plus Lanlan's endless oceans and faith energies.
The remaining zone hides beneath a veil of fog that baffles both Lin Su and his six companions from peering inside.
Within lies the enigmatic force tied to Lin Su's sixth bonding slot.
To this day, Lin Su hasn't unraveled the secrets of this hidden power.
Yet he holds faith that its revelation will unveil every hidden truth.
The enigma of the sixth bonding slot.
The rare gift of crossing between worlds.
The core truth behind endless rebirths.
All these riddles await their resolution.
In these five hundred years, Blue Star has seen a surge in mythical tiers, alongside the rise of countless Heavenly Rank Secret Realms.
By the close, mythical tiers on Blue Star numbered ten, while Heavenly Rank Secret Realms matched or exceeded those of the Martial God tier.
An age dominated by myths slowly unfurls its wings.
Regrettably, no human Beast Tamers have emerged at the mythical tier, although one alliance member drawn to martial arts unexpectedly entered the Martial God Realm.
The barrier preventing mythical tier Beast Tamers from arising stays a puzzle.
Guided by Shen Yunshan, multiple legendary tier Beast Tamers fulfilled every condition Lin Su once detected for advancement, but they remained stuck.
Unlike Lin Su, they never even glimpsed the realm beyond once their six beasts hit the ninth level.
It seems some extra seal, born from the mythical change, bars the evolution of tenth-tier Beast Taming Spaces.
When this seal might shatter remains a mystery.
Lin Su lacks real means to tackle it.
He faces no such seal, yet his own progress halts because the sixth slot stays locked.
...
In the final reckoning.
A millennium past the mythical transformation.
Mythical tiers now approach twenty in count.
Still, they share an unspoken pact to meddle little in Blue Star's matters, limiting themselves to sporadic meetings and talks.
Despite the legendary tier's longevity, Lin Su has inevitably shown the signs of time.
Be it Qiuqiu's command over time or Tata's Retrospective Rule, either could stretch his days further.
But Lin Su chose against it.
For he had already beheld every wonder Blue Star offered.
This millennium proved a richly rewarding journey for him.
At times, the worth of existence lies not in its span.
That said, he urged Qiuqiu and Tata to pour their utmost into prolonging the lives of his era's fellow legendary powerhouses, granting them greater odds to behold the seal's fall.
