Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7364

Chapter 7278: The Hundred Stars Project!

This was equivalent to him gaining countless more threads of sentient beings, greatly enhancing his strength within a certain spatial range.

In other words, Li Tianming’s sentient beings’ spiritual power had also grown significantly.

This made him even more eager for more.

Just being a ten-star Grand Governor was already enough to boost Li Tianming’s combat power to an immeasurable level.

What kind of powerful sentient beings’ spiritual power would he gain when he became a hundred-star Grand Governor, or even a thousand-star Grand Governor?

Others could only practice the Emperor’s Path and improve their cultivation to a certain extent when conquering star systems, but for Li Tianming, every inch of territory he gained and every subject he took in could become a solid foundation for the Heavenly Mandate Universe Dynasty!

This was the Emperor’s Path unique to Li Tianming, an Emperor’s cultivation system that others could only dream of.

And this system was almost exclusively available to Li Tianming!

In the end, Li Tianming and An Ning finished their ‘harvesting’ of sentient beings’ spiritual power and returned to the Divine Treasure Star System.

After returning to the old capital, An Ning looked at Li Tianming, blinked, and said, “Is there anything else you want to give me?”

“Of course not.” Li Tianming smiled, took out the challenge letters he had just brought back from Wei Shendao, and handed them to An Ning, saying, “This time, my mission for you is to conquer one hundred level-eight star systems and help me become the Grand Governor of a Hundred Stars. Are you confident?”

“What confidence? Let’s just do it!” An Ning’s eyes lit up, she slammed her spear on the ground, her fighting spirit high.

After speaking, An Ning grabbed the pile of challenge letters, turned, and walked out of the governor’s mansion.

She had already hastily assembled the entire army, preparing for another expedition.

Li Tianming watched her departing figure and smiled helplessly.

An Ning’s obsession with leading troops into battle was no less than Li Tianming’s obsession with cultivation.

Perhaps An Ning was doing this to help Li Tianming, while Li Tianming was doing it to follow in his parents’ footsteps and to better protect those around him.

Seeing that An Ning had disappeared, Li Tianming headed straight for the deepest part of the Little Divine Treasure Star System.

This area, surrounded by countless Divine Treasure Stones, was Xiao Jiu’s exclusive territory.

It resided there, its body, like black mist, manifesting as a gigantic abyss-like maw, devouring the Divine Treasure Stones arriving from all directions of the Star System.

When Li Tianming arrived, Xiao Jiu was still feasting.

Its appetite was like a bottomless pit, seemingly insatiable!

Li Tianming quickly arrived before Xiao Jiu, whose manifested eyes lifted slightly, seemingly glancing at him.

Then, it closed its eyes again, as if it hadn’t seen Li Tianming, continuing to ‘eat’ the Divine Treasure Stones.

Li Tianming didn’t seem to care, and instead said to himself, “So, Xiao Jiu, are you satisfied with your stay here? Is it more comfortable than at the Heavenly Emperor Sect?”

“There’s plenty of food, but there are always annoying noises,” Xiao Jiu said coldly.

Its resentment was clearly mostly directed at the incessantly chattering Yin Chen.

“That’s because everyone sees you’re too bored here, so they keep you company. You have company to keep you entertained, and you even get to eat Divine Treasure Stones. Isn’t that a good life?” Li Tianming coaxed with a smile. “Why don’t you stay by my side from now on? After we finish this Divine Treasure Star System, we can go find other star systems and together we can take down all the Divine Treasure Stones in the universe?”

“I took the hit for you, so we’re even.” Xiao Jiu suddenly uttered a seemingly incoherent statement.

It was clearly referring to its attack on the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan, and Li Tianming’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Although Xiao Jiu seemed to be bringing up old grievances to shut Li Tianming up, it also indicated that Xiao Jiu had a purpose in helping Li Tianming back then.

Of course, its own anger also played a part; its motives for the attack were multifaceted.

Suppressing his overwhelming joy, Li Tianming smiled and praised, “You really helped me a lot that time. Look, with our long-term cooperation, I’ll help you search for the Divine Treasure Stone everywhere, and you just need to follow me. How about that? As long as you follow me, whether you make a move or not is up to you. That way, you can enjoy the Divine Treasure Stone as soon as possible.”

Although Jiang Feiling was there, Li Tianming was fearless, but he knew Xiao Jiu’s personality well and needed to be coaxed.

So his words were a form of praise and affirmation!

As expected, Xiao Jiu opened its eyes and glanced at Li Tianming again. Even though it appeared indifferent, a slight emotional fluctuation could be seen from its slightly rolling black mist body.

But Li Tianming didn’t know what it meant.

After a while, Xiao Jiu slowly closed its eyes, and those eyes that expressed more emotion than function disappeared.

“Get lost, don’t disturb my peace.” Xiao Jiu’s voice came faintly.

Li Tianming didn’t care at all. He simply sat down to the side and silently watched Xiao Jiu.

Occasionally, he would try to chat with Xiao Jiu, a few words here and there, when he seemed to remember something.

But Xiao Jiu remained silent, too lazy to respond to Li Tianming.

At this moment, Yinghuo, Miaomiao, Lanhuang, and all the companion beasts in Li Tianming’s companion space emerged.

Suddenly, many colossal beasts appeared deep within this small divine galaxy.

Among them were a gigantic two-headed Kui dragon that blotted out the sky, an eternally burning phoenix of flames, a towering eternal world tree, and a timid gray spirit carrying a coffin—a tiny baby girl.

Of course, even if all these so-called colossal beasts were tied together, they probably wouldn’t be as large as Xiao Jiu.

Most of them chattered around Xiao Jiu, regardless of whether she responded.

Yinghuo looked around and asked in surprise, “Little Jiu, you just eat here all day without moving an inch. Aren’t you bored?”

Little Jiu: “…”

Meow Meow rolled over in the starry sky, smacked its lips, and said, “I can understand Little Jiu. It loves to eat, probably similar to my love of sleeping? Anyway, I definitely don’t get bored when I’m sleeping.”

“But Meow-ge, you don’t know anything when you’re asleep, but it’s always awake eating.” Lanhuang asked loudly.

“Maybe… Ninth Brother is actually asleep. It eats and sleeps at the same time, which is why it’s always silent?” Bai Ling’s soul stroked its chin and pondered.

“Little Jiu, you’re so big! If I eat the Divine Treasure Stone, can I grow as big as you?” Xixi cautiously approached the black mist beast and looked at it curiously.

Upon hearing this, Little Jiu suddenly opened its eyes, seemingly a little displeased.

But after seeing Xixi’s gray eyes blink, it slowly closed them again.

“Don’t worry, little brother Jiu, I know you like the Divine Treasure Stones, I won’t touch them!” Xi Xi said with a smile.
