Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7274

Chapter 7188: Star Palace!

After the chaos subsided, Li Tianming took out his appointment document and glanced at its contents.

“This is…”

Li Tianming’s gaze narrowed slightly. Inside the document lay a token.

“This is the War God’s Military Token. With it in hand, you can prove that you are already a Demon-Slaying War God. This is an unparalleled honor!” Wei Shendao explained with a smile. “However, even so, you still have to take up your post at the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall within a certain period of time, otherwise this token will become invalid and turn to dust.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming’s gaze narrowed slightly, and he reached out and grasped the golden token with the words ‘Demon-Slaying’ engraved on the front.

“Within this War God’s Military Token, there seem to be two forces intertwined. One is bloody and violent, and the other is… somewhat like holy and radiant.” Li Tianming frowned slightly.

“This represents the struggle between the Heavenly Emperor Sect and the Primordial Demons. This entire War God’s Military Token was crafted using secret methods to mimic the atmosphere of a real battlefield. Once you reach the actual battlefield on the front lines, you will be able to experience this atmosphere more directly.” Jiu Huang explained with a smile.

Li Tianming remained calm and noncommittal.

Whether the Heavenly Emperor Sect, or rather the Li Imperial Clan, truly embodied justice was still uncertain to him.

While the ancient demons posed a threat to other races, the Li Imperial Clan also harbored selfish motives towards the Demon Nest—Li Tianming was well aware of this.

Moreover, the universe itself lacked absolute justice.

However, he didn’t dwell on it too much at the moment, instead continuing to read the appointment document below.

“By deliberation of the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Council, it has been decided that Li Tianming, a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect and currently the Grand Governor, is hereby appointed as the God of War, and is required to arrive at the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall within three years to assume his post; otherwise, the order will be considered invalid…” Li Tianming silently recited.

*Rustling*…

As Li Tianming opened the appointment document, this line of text began to disintegrate bit by bit.

At this rate, it would take approximately three years for all the words to completely disappear.

“Saying the transfer order is invalid is actually a light punishment. If you actually accepted the appointment document but didn’t go, not to mention the punishment from above, you’d at least be called a deserter and become a laughing stock, completely losing your foothold in the Heavenly Emperor Sect,” Aurora said seriously.

However, Li Tianming had already decided to go, so this matter didn’t matter to him.

At this time, Wei Shendao was also watching from the side. The contents of the document weren’t exactly confidential, so Li Tianming didn’t care.

“Three years is actually quite short. At most, you can do some preparatory work. You’ll probably have to put cultivation and other things on hold for now,” Wei Shendao said with a smile.

“Cultivation isn’t a problem, but I do need to prepare to leave sooner, since there’s still some distance between the two places,” Li Tianming said with a calm smile.

“Since this is your first time going to the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall, you probably don’t know much about it. Actually, there’s a Line Source Plank Road within the Heavenly Emperor Sect that leads directly there, and this direct Line Source Plank Road is only found within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, so it won’t take too long,” Jiuhuang said from the side.

Li Tianming raised an eyebrow slightly; this surprised him somewhat.

However, even without the Line Source Plank Road, he could still reach the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall through his own means, but having an existing Line Source Plank Road was certainly more convenient.

After all, the Phantom Whale had already sailed deep into the interior and it was inconvenient to return.

“Governor Wei, I have another question, please enlighten me.” Li Tianming suddenly remembered something and looked up to ask.

“Go ahead and speak, no need to stand on ceremony.” Wei Shendao smiled gently.

“The promotion of a regional governor is generally based on the star system under their jurisdiction. Besides the minor governor, major governor, and holy governor, within each level, in addition to the ordinary governor with one star, there are also ten-star, hundred-star, and thousand-star governors. I know all of this. So how does a War God who kills enemies on the front lines of the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall advance?” Li Tianming asked in confusion.

Wei Shendao smiled and said, “Actually, the Demon God of War and the Governor-General are largely the same. Take the Great War God you’re about to be appointed as an example; there are ordinary Great War Gods, ten-star Great War Gods, and hundred-star and thousand-star Great War Gods…”

Before Li Tianming could ask further, Jiu Huang smiled and said, “Are you thinking: Could it be that the Demon God of War also has to conquer star systems?”

Li Tianming nodded and admitted, “I do have doubts, but it doesn’t seem like the same thing.”

“Of course, your feeling is correct. The ‘star’ in the Demon God of War doesn’t refer to a star system, but rather—’Star Palace’!” Jiu Huang’s smile faded, and she said seriously.

When she spoke of the Star Palace, she seemed to have a hint of reminiscence.

“Two Holy Governors, could you tell me more about the Star Palace? I’d like to learn more so I won’t be completely clueless later,” Li Tianming asked sincerely.

“Of course, this is the task entrusted to us by the Chaotic Ancestor.” Jiu Huang smiled slightly, then said with a touch of seriousness, “This ‘Star Palace’ is actually the core of the Demon Extermination Plan, and also the supreme secret realm of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Only those who participate in the Demon Extermination Plan and hold a position of War God or higher are qualified to enter and cultivate.”

Li Tianming understood a little, and he pondered for a moment, “So this is actually a cultivation resource, or a cultivation place? But if that’s the case, then the steps in front of the Lingxiao Imperial Palace are also very beneficial to cultivation, right?”

“The two have different focuses. You will know the difference later. Also, don’t underestimate this place.” Jiu Huang smiled slightly.

“Governor Jiu is joking. I don’t know anything about it. How could I have any contempt?” Li Tianming smiled.

“That’s true, and you’re not that arrogant,” Jiu Huang smiled, then continued, “First of all, the conditions for entering this Star Palace are extremely stringent, unlike those within the Heavenly Emperor Sect or most other cultivation places. The position of Great War God alone eliminates many.”

Li Tianming’s gaze sharpened slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

A Great War God, in terms of authority and status, surpasses both the Grand Governor and the Grand Imperial Tutor, second only to the Saint Emperor!

This position is truly rare within the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Before Li Tianming could react, Jiu Huang continued, “In other words, even though Divine Path and I are both Saint Governors, because we’re not part of that system, we’re not qualified to cultivate in the Star Palace. Furthermore, we’re already past the age limit.”

“It’s that strict?” Li Tianming’s eyes widened slightly, a hint of shock in his voice.

This certainly piqued his interest, as he had long wanted to find other cultivation environments.

And this position of Great War God was perfect!

He could use it to seek more opportunities to improve his cultivation level.
