Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7393

Chapter 7307: The Last Key!

Li Tianming had already deduced all of this, but there was no need for the other party to know his intelligence capabilities.

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister Chaoxi. I will be more careful.” Li Tianming seemed to have recovered from the ‘newly received’ information, and clasped his hands in a fist salute.

After all, as a member of the Li Clan, the fact that she chose to remind him of this was actually the greatest support for Li Tianming.

Therefore, although Li Tianming didn’t need this information at all, he still remembered this favor in his heart.

“That’s all I have to say. In short, you should handle your relationship with her in the future as you see fit.” Li Chaoxi said somewhat seriously at this moment.

“Yes, okay, I understand.” Li Tianming smiled and said.

After saying all this, Li Chaoxi left the Heavenly Emperor Star Palace directly and chose to go to the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall.

Even knowing all this, Li Tianming still chose to see Wei Shendao.

He returned to the Demon-Slaying Pavilion through the Line Source Plank Road, and then headed towards the Emperor Heaven Pavilion.

“Are we still going? Didn’t they say she had ill intentions?” Sui Shenyao asked curiously.

“Whatever her schemes or plots, as long as I’m careful, with the Boundary Planet in my hands, no one can harm me. Besides, I still have the Emperor Heaven Project to advance. As long as she can help me apply for challenge letters, that’s fine,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile. Li Tianming

also had his own considerations. This opportunity, which could open up unlimited channels for the Emperor Heaven Project and allow him to continuously apply for challenge letters, had to be used wisely.

And when the other party revealed their true colors and was about to change their tune, it wouldn’t be too late to cut ties and end this relationship quickly.

While talking with Sui Shenyao, Li Tianming had already arrived at the Emperor Heaven Pavilion. He went directly to the Quiet Hall.

With Wei Shendao’s special permission, he could come and go freely.

Li Tianming quickly arrived in front of Wei Shendao, only to find that several challenge letters had already been piled up in front of her!

In addition, she was holding an appointment document in her hand, with the character ‘hundred’ vaguely visible.

She was staring at this document in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, Wei Shendao seemed to sense the change in light and looked up with a smile, “Tianming, you’ve arrived? I knew you’d be coming to collect the new challenges around the time someone brought back the completed ones. I’ve prepared all of these for you in advance.”

“Thank you, Governor Wei,” Li Tianming said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

He glanced at the challenges but didn’t rush to take them. Instead, he slowly shifted his gaze to the document in Wei Shendao’s hand.

“Governor Wei, what is this?” Li Tianming asked knowingly.

“This is your appointment document as Grand Governor of the Hundred Stars. It was approved not long ago. I heard you went into seclusion with the Empress, so I didn’t rush to find you,” Wei Shendao smiled and handed it to Li Tianming, “Now it’s time to return it to its rightful owner. A Grand Governor of the Hundred Stars under His Majesty’s rule, simply incredible!”

“I still have to thank Governor Wei for his help. After all, most people wouldn’t necessarily give me this kind of opportunity to accelerate my progress,” Li Tianming said, stepping forward and accepting the document with both hands.

“Although I expected this day to come, seeing you so close to my level, just one level away, still makes me a little dazed,” Wei Shendao said with a smile. “But all of this is thanks to your own hard work. Congratulations on achieving this goal.”

“I will continue to strive for even greater heights. I’ll also need Governor Wei’s help to open the fast track for me in the future,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Wei Shendao shook his head with a smile and said, “Promoting yourself to the Thousand-Star Grand Governor won’t be so smooth from now on. Although it’s only a one-level difference, the number of stars required to go from one star to a hundred stars, and from a hundred stars to a thousand stars, is nearly ten times greater.”

“It’s alright, I’ll put in ten times the effort. It’ll just take a little more time. If all else fails, I’ll split up with my Star Puppet and fight together,” Li Tianming said jokingly.

“You think it’s that simple?” Wei Shendao rolled his eyes with a charming smile. “To reach the Thousand Star Grand Governor level, besides the quantity requirement, there’s a crucial point: you’ve almost conquered all the level eight gray star systems within my Divine Path Alliance and Nine Phoenix Alliance!”

“Huh? Almost conquered them so quickly?” Li Tianming was genuinely surprised.

After all, in his memory, the combined area covered by the Nine Phoenix Alliance and the Divine Path Alliance was quite vast.

“What do you think? Most people take a hundred years to conquer a single star system, but you’ve conquered dozens of times more. How can anyone be as fast as you?” Wei Shendao sighed, somewhat helplessly. “So, I can only provide you with a few challenge letters right now. Don’t expect me to open the door for you and create a record for the fastest attainment of the Thousand Star Grand Governor level. There are only a hundred or so level eight star system challenge letters here.” Upon hearing this

, Li Tianming looked at the pile of level eight star system challenge letters on the table and found that there were indeed only about a hundred, plus some scattered level nine star system challenge letters.

Noticing Li Tianming’s gaze, Wei Shendao waved his hand and said, “Take these level nine star systems too, and just call them out while you’re at it. They’re just sitting there anyway.”

Li Tianming didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately pocketed all the challenge letters in front of him.

“Thank you, Governor Wei. Also, please convey my thanks to Governor Jiu for me,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

After all, besides Wei Shendao, Jiu Huang had also provided Li Tianming with considerable support in this matter, contributing quite a few challenge letters as well.

Li Tianming remained outwardly calm, but he was actually quite pleased to have acquired some level nine star systems.

Because establishing the Tianming Universe Dynasty didn’t necessarily require stronger star systems; having them was good, but if not, simply piling up level nine star systems to gain more sentient beings was also beneficial.

After completing all this and taking the challenge letters and appointment letters, just as Li Tianming opened his mouth to say goodbye and leave—

“Tianming, wait a minute, I want to ask you some questions,” Wei Shendao interrupted first.

Li Tianming’s eyes flickered slightly, showing some surprise.

He looked at Wei Shendao, his expression slightly stern, and said, “Governor Wei, please speak.”

At this moment, Wei Shendao didn’t rush to speak. Instead, she stepped forward and brushed past Li Tianming, then closed the door to the Jingtang behind him.

She also activated the sound-isolating array to ensure that no sound could escape from the Jingtang.

“Don’t be anxious. I just don’t want anyone to hear our conversation. At least for now, I have no ill intentions towards you, and I know that even if I wanted to do something to you, I couldn’t stop you.” During this process, Wei Shendao spoke cautiously, seemingly worried that Li Tianming would disappear.

She had clearly investigated Li Tianming’s activities within the Heavenly Emperor Sect and knew that his escape methods were unpredictable.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming seemed somewhat bewildered, even with a hint of panic in his eyes, and asked, “Governor Wei, what do you mean by this? Are you hiding something from me?”

Finally, Wei Shendao turned her back to the Jingtang door, facing Li Tianming directly, and said, “The matter I want to ask is related to the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming’s heart stirred slightly, but he outwardly expressed some surprise, saying, “The Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan? Why would Governor Wei think to ask me this? Could it be related to my master?”

His demeanor was neither overly flamboyant nor entirely calm.

“You know what I want to ask,” Wei Shendao said, his gaze slightly narrowed, as if he had made up his mind.

“I’m not familiar with the others in the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan. Since Governor Wei suddenly asked me about this, isn’t it because something has happened to my two masters?” Li Tianming seemed somewhat anxious. “If that’s the case, please tell me, Governor Wei, that I will immediately ask my wife to come down from the mountain to rescue my masters and avenge them.”

At this moment, Wei Shendao seemed to be giving an irrelevant answer, completely ignoring what Li Tianming was saying, and instead slowly continued his story.

“What I can assure you right now is that I haven’t told anyone about this.” Wei Shendao pursed his lips slightly and continued, “About a thousand years ago, someone in my Divine Dao Alliance told me about something. He happened to be in a star system near the Divine Treasure Star System. One day, he suddenly saw many light-year-long giant shadows appear above the Divine Treasure Star System. Along with their appearance, it seemed as if a super-large illusionary god array enveloped the Divine Treasure Star System. And soon after, this giant illusionary god disappeared, and those light-year-long giant shadows that suddenly appeared also vanished without a trace, as if they all disappeared into thin air.”

“Such a thing actually happened…” Li Tianming seemed to be lost in thought, and after a long while, he slowly said, “Could it be that he saw it wrong? Otherwise, with such a big event happening, my subjects would probably be in a panic. I’ve never heard anyone mention it.”

“At the time, he did think it was an illusion, but later he discovered that the Saint Emperors and above in the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan seemed to have collectively disappeared. Currently, it’s really impossible to find these people. I even suspect that they have been murdered, and the location is in the Lesser Divine Treasure Star System.” Wei Shendao looked into Li Tianming’s eyes, his expression becoming serious.

Li Tianming’s pupils contracted slightly, seemingly shocked.

“How could this be? All those above the Saint Emperor level… could it be including my master, who barely crossed the Saint Emperor level, also be murdered?” Li Tianming said with some grief, “Who could have done such a heaven-defying feat? I know my wife; although she has the strength of a five-light-year being, she absolutely couldn’t have done this, especially since she never mentioned it to me…”

At this moment, Wei Shendao stared directly at Li Tianming, his expression cold and stern, “So I’ll be frank, my question is… is the disappearance of the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan related to your women?”

“How could that be? I didn’t even know about this.” Li Tianming immediately shook his head, “And as I said, with their abilities, even if they really attacked so many light-year-level experts, it’s impossible for them to have done so without making a sound.”

Although he denied it, Li Tianming knew in his heart that it was impossible to completely cover up such a thing.

Over the years, his Emperor Heaven Plan had also revolved around the Little Divine Treasury Star System, trying to nip the possibility of this matter spreading in the bud.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered at this moment.

When faced with Wei Shendao’s questioning, Li Tianming appeared bewildered, but in reality, he was pondering why Wei Shendao had suddenly asked him about this matter and what she was really up to.
