Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7015

Chapter 6925: The Divine Treasury Galaxy!

Jiu Huang pondered, “The situation in this level eight star system is rather complicated; it seems to be called… the Divine Treasure Star System!”

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao frowned slightly, recalling the name.

Soon, as if remembering something, she exclaimed in surprise, “Where is it? Isn’t there a group of Divine Treasure Clan members there?”

The Divine Treasure Star System?

The Divine Treasure Clan?

Could it be related to dark matter and Xiao Jiu?

Li Tianming was very curious, even a little excited, but he suppressed it all, remaining outwardly calm.

He feigned ignorance and asked, “Governor Wei, what are this Divine Treasure Star System and the Divine Treasure Clan? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this race.”

Wei Shendao’s brows relaxed, and he explained gently, “The Divine Treasure Clan is very special. They belong neither to the human race nor to the ghosts and gods.”

Wei Wuji was genuinely confused. She asked curiously, “Then what abilities do they use to fight? If they don’t belong to either, are they still considered part of the God of the Universe system?”

Wei Shendao continued to explain, “It is said that they can utilize the power of the Divine Treasure Stone. Several of my subordinates tried to conquer the Divine Treasure Star System, but none of them succeeded.”

“Is this race that strong?” Li Tianming asked in surprise.

Logically speaking, for Wei Shendao’s men, conquering a typical level eight star system was a matter of speed, not success.

Yet, they seemed almost helpless against the Divine Treasure Clan. However, this was also due to the fact that the Divine Treasure Star System had different resource types than ordinary star systems.

If they launched a large-scale attack, even if they succeeded, it would be a loss for Wei Shendao.

After all, military strength doesn’t come from thin air, and soldiers can’t be sacrificed in vain.

Wei Shendao rubbed his forehead, somewhat helplessly saying, “That Divine Treasure Star System seems to have extremely complex and harsh terrain, possessing a large number of Divine Treasure Stones. Combined with their clan’s ability to utilize the power of the Divine Treasures, their defense is practically impregnable.”

Li Tianming nodded, “I see.”

He remained outwardly calm, but some questions arose in his mind.

Could the Li Clan’s plan to attack the Divine Treasure Star System to search for the Divine Treasure Stones be related to Xiao Jiu?

Xiao Jiu is sleeping next to the Lingxiao Imperial Palace; the Heavenly Emperor Sect couldn’t possibly remain indifferent.

Currently, Xiao Jiu says that the Eternal Heavenly Emperor can’t do anything to her, so what does the Li Clan know, and what do they intend to do to Xiao Jiu? It’s unknown.

Li Tianming pondered, “Although Xiao Jiu said that it can hatch once it finishes digesting the Divine Treasure Stones it has already devoured, would giving it more Divine Treasure Stones make it happier?”

However, he also had a slight reservation. “If we want to have designs on this Divine Treasure Star System, it means we have to compete with the Li Clan. Let’s wait and see; there’s no rush.”

After Wei Shendao finished his introduction, and Li Tianming learned the general situation of the Divine Treasure Star System, a graceful and well-behaved female disciple came to their side.

Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Jiu Huang, and she respectfully presented a green token with both hands.

This was Li Tianming’s Divine Alliance Army Token!

But now, the material on this token was even more lustrous, with the words ‘Divine Alliance Li Tianming’ engraved on it, and some patterns of flowers, plants, and trees engraved around it, carrying an aura of vitality.

Compared to before the upgrade, it was more exquisite and mystical.

The female disciple said, “Governor Jiu, this Junior Brother Li’s military order has been upgraded to level four.”

Jiu Huang directly took the order and handed it to Li Tianming, saying, “Alright, this matter is finished.”

She continued, “Next, you can go with her to complete the procedures for establishing the army.”

Li Tianming’s gaze fell on the female disciple beside Jiu Huang, who looked shy and lowered her head.

“I… my name is Zhang Xunyu, you can call me Senior Sister Zhang.”

Li Tianming nodded and smiled, “Okay, Senior Sister Zhang, thank you for your trouble.”

Zhang Xunyu led Li Tianming to a window next to her, took out some jade slips, and had Li Tianming record some information.

“Junior Brother Li, what should your army be called?” Zhang Xunyu asked timidly.

“It will be called the Heavenly Mandate Army.” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“Okay.”

After Zhang Xunyu finished recording the information, she put away the jade slips and placed them in a box with a storage function similar to a Sumeru Ring.

A moment later, she spoke, “Alright, it’s all recorded. Your Heavenly Mandate Army’s specific information will appear in the Imperial Heaven Pavilion.”

This means that the number of people in Li Tianming’s army, their approximate cultivation levels and combat strengths, can all be found in the Imperial Heaven Pavilion’s main hall.

This information was just entered.

Of course, the Heavenly Mandate Army is currently empty, and Li Tianming’s cultivation level was simply filled in as a level he could normally easily defeat as public information.

Originally, this information didn’t need to be filled in, but since we’re just starting out and need to convince everyone, it was included.

After Li Tianming finished doing all this, Wei Shendao, who was standing to the side, looked at him with a gentle smile and said, “Do you need me to help you recruit soldiers and horses? That would make things easier.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming immediately clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied, “Thank you for your kindness, Governor Wei, but it’s not necessary. Governor Wei has already helped me so much; if this continues, I’ll hardly be able to repay your kindness.”

Wei Shendao waved his hand with a smile and said, “These are all small matters; how can they be considered a favor?”

Li Tianming calmly said, “Governor Wei may not care, but I cannot keep taking. Besides, recruiting…” “The army, and the ability to win hearts and minds, are part of the training for the disciples joining the Emperor’s Heaven Plan. Taking such a shortcut might affect my pursuit of the Great Dao,”

he said earnestly. “Therefore, I’ve decided to rely on myself; this is also a test of my Great Dao.”

Upon hearing this, Jiu Huang slapped her thigh in admiration, “Good! You have ambition. I have high hopes for you and look forward to your performance in the Emperor’s Heaven Plan.”

Wei Shendao said gently, “That’s fine too. It’s entirely up to you. If there’s anything you can’t handle or need help with, you can still come to me.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Governor Wei, and thank you for your encouragement, Governor Jiu,” Li Tianming said again.

“Now that things are done, we’ll be leaving now. Come visit my Divine Dao Palace when you have time,” Wei Shendao said to Jiu Huang. “

Sure, I just took over my shift, and I’m a bit busy. I’ll come as soon as I’m done,” Jiu Huang said, patting her chest.

After bidding farewell to Jiu Huang, Li Tianming and Wei Shendao and his mother left the Emperor’s Heaven Pavilion.

On the way, Wei Shendao said, “Once you have prepared your troops, I will take you to the Shendao Star System. At that time, I will bestow upon you a territory called ‘Wind Chasing Valley’.”

Li Tianming asked in surprise, “What does Governor Wei mean by this?”

Wei Wuji was shocked and somewhat dissatisfied. “Mother, that’s a territory the size of a level nine star system! How could you just give it to him like that?”

Wei Shendao gently patted Wei Wuji’s head and explained, “What’s the rush, girl? You’ll have yours eventually. Besides, with Tianming’s talent, are you afraid he can’t even conquer a small level nine star system?”

Although Wei Wuji was a little annoyed, it was true. The benefits Li Tianming brought were definitely more than just this territory.

He didn’t try to hide it, as the two were mutually beneficial. Li Tianming fought under Wei Shendao’s banner, bringing Wei Shendao fame and other benefits, while Wei Wuji also enjoyed the advantages of having someone as his backer.

Wei Wuji then said to Li Tianming, “You shouldn’t refuse. It’s just a favor, allowing you to initially station troops. I know you’ll definitely have your own territory in the future, and it will be much larger.” “

Thank you, Governor Wei. This disciple will certainly not fail in my mission,” Li Tianming said gratefully.

Since things had been said this far, there was no need to refuse further.

Wei Shendao smiled and said, “Next, do you want to recruit soldiers within the Heavenly Emperor Sect before heading to the Divine Dao Star System?”

“Can soldiers for conquering star systems be recruited within the Heavenly Emperor Sect?” Li Tianming asked in surprise.

Wei Shendao nodded and said, “Of course. Within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, ordinary disciples can follow disciples of the Young Emperor or Great Emperor into the army, but only ordinary disciples are allowed; other Young Emperors or Great Emperors cannot follow you.”

Li Tianming was surprised, thinking of Jiuding and that Emperor Venerable, and asked doubtfully, “Then why was Jiuding able to be with the Emperor Venerable just now?”

Wei Shendao smiled and explained, “Because Jiuding’s name isn’t registered in the Emperor Venerable’s army, so procedurally he can’t be considered a follower, but in practice, he is following the Emperor Venerable for training.”

Li Tianming was astonished, “It can be like that?”

“Of course, but not everyone can do that,” Wei Shendao nodded.

“I understand,” Li Tianming nodded.

He left it at that; the implication was clear.

Wei Shendao then spoke to Wei Wuji, “Wuji, Mother hopes you’ll join the Heavenly Mandate Army. Are you willing?”

Li Tianming was surprised, unsure of her intentions, but didn’t say much, considering how much the other party had already helped him.

However, he also knew that Wei Wuji would most likely refuse, so he didn’t pay much attention.

Sure enough, Wei Wuji’s beautiful green eyes widened upon hearing this, and she confirmed in shock, “Me, join his Heavenly Mandate Army?”

Wei Shendao nodded, repeating, “That’s right, you join the Heavenly Mandate Army.”

“I don’t want to! Who cares about his Heavenly Mandate Army? I’m not going. I’ll soon become a Young Emperor, or even a Great Emperor’s disciple!” Wei Wuji shook her head vigorously.

Wei Shendao pulled Wei Wuji aside, slightly away from Li Tianming.

Wei Shendao whispered a few words to her, and Wei Wuji suddenly agreed.

“Alright, then I’ll reluctantly go to his Heavenly Mandate Army,” Wei Wuji said, her undisguised voice naturally reaching Li Tianming’s ears.

Li Tianming was very surprised, wondering how Wei Shendao had managed to persuade her.

Originally, Li Tianming thought that although Wei Wuji’s killing intent towards him wasn’t entirely overwhelming, she wouldn’t accept it so easily.

However, since things had come to this point, Li Tianming smiled and said, “Welcome, Senior Sister Wei, to the Heavenly Mandate Army.”

Wei Shendao snorted coldly and didn’t say anything more.

Thus, Wei Wuji became the first member of Li Tianming’s Heavenly Mandate Army.

Li Tianming decided to go directly to the Myriad Emperors Palace to announce the news and see if anyone was willing to follow him and join his Heavenly Mandate Army.
