Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7514

Chapter 7428: Two Thousand Years!

“Who?” Li Tianming was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

“It’s that genius from the Divine Ruins Clan, the one you fought. He seems quite interested in you and wants to be your friend.” Li Zhaotang explained patiently, though somewhat helplessly.

“Oh, oh, I remember now.” Li Tianming scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly. “Sorry, Aunt Tang, I’ve knocked out quite a few people in the past three years, I really can’t remember who’s who right now.”

He then took the communication star tower with both hands and put it away.

“You child, it’s fine if you can’t remember in front of our own people, but don’t be so disrespectful in front of others. After all, the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect is a large sect with a profound foundation, and they have far more young geniuses and older generation experts than we do. Be careful not to offend them.” Li Zhaotang pointed at Li Tianming, somewhat reproachfully.

“Don’t worry, Aunt Tang, as long as others don’t provoke me, I certainly won’t be impolite.” Li Tianming smiled slightly, then asked with some doubt, “However… I really didn’t expect Jiang Wuqi to come looking for me. We only exchanged a few blows and didn’t really talk much.”

“We can’t guess his intentions.” Li Zhaotang smiled slightly, then said, “However, the other party is a sect based on the Divine Ruins Clan. Isn’t your eldest daughter-in-law also from the Divine Ruins Clan? Perhaps you can use this relationship to communicate more. If you can develop from personal relationships to alliances between your forces, that would be best.”

Li Tianming nodded and smiled in agreement, “Indeed, Aunt Tang is right.”

However, his words were actually somewhat perfunctory.

In reality, if Jiang Feiling really intervened, it wouldn’t just be a simple alliance.

For the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect, it would be like inviting an ancestor!

But Jiang Feiling’s true identity is not suitable for widespread dissemination yet, at least not at the moment for direct contact with the Divine Ruins Ancient Sect.

Li Tianming is not in a hurry to deal with these matters.

After all, the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War wasn’t over yet, and Jiang Feiling wouldn’t be leaving the Divine Treasury Star System and the Burning Spirit Realm for the time being.

At this moment, Li Chaoxi approached Li Tianming and asked, “Tianming, what are your plans for the rest of the time? No one in our Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect has advanced before; everyone should be preparing to return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect by now…”

Li Tianming pondered for a moment before asking, “How long until the second round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War begins?”

“About two thousand years,” Li Chaoxi replied. “In these two thousand years, there’s really no point in us staying here. Everyone will probably go back first. But when it’s your turn to participate, we can come back to cheer you on.”

Just then, Li Dixiao noticed Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi and slowly walked over.

“Tianming, you’d better go back with everyone first. There’s not much opportunity for you to improve here. After returning to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, I will try my best to apply for a higher-level Star Palace for you to cultivate in, so you can participate in the war in the best possible condition.” Li Dixiao smiled at Li Tianming.

Li Chaoxi was surprised to hear this. Her eyes widened slightly. “Father, Tianming is already a Hundred-Star War God. If he improves further, won’t he become a Thousand-Star War God like my brother?”

“Of course, this is a privilege for our genius youths,” Li Dixiao said with a smile. “Those other genius youths from the outer regions who can enter the next round must have plenty of cultivation resources in addition to their own talents. To compete with them, Tianming must have what they have. We can’t let them eat grass and squeeze blood, can we?”

“Wow, then my brother-in-law is going to become a Thousand-Star War God under the Emperor’s command? Even the elites of the younger generation in the clan can only reach this level at most in the 200,000 to 300,000… Is he going to make history?” Li Chaohui popped up from the side at this time, dumbfounded.

Li Tianming seemed slightly hesitant at this moment. He said, “Father-in-law, isn’t this kind of treatment a bit inappropriate? I’m afraid some people might use it to slander you and damage your reputation.”

“Don’t worry about what others say,” Li Dixiao waved his hand magnanimously and said with a smile, “Putting aside your current achievements, this reward is more than enough for you. If you can use this to advance further, it will further prove that my choice was right. Tianming, remember, you now carry the hopes of all of us, so naturally you should have the best resources. Striving harder and moving forward is the best choice you can make for yourself and for us.”

“Yes, Tianming, you don’t need to refuse. This is what you deserve,” Li Zhaotang said with a smile.

Clearly, after Li Tianming defeated Jiang Wuqi and even had the possibility of befriending him, Li Zhaotang’s opinion of Li Tianming had almost completely changed.

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming paused for a moment, then looked up, smiled, and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, “Since my father-in-law has said so, then I shall respectfully comply.”

Li Dixiao nodded with a smile, “Alright, since that’s the case, let’s put everything aside for now and return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

After saying this, he, Li Zhaotang, and Li Xuanyin counted the members of the Li Imperial Clan.

As a result, everyone except for Li Qianyang and the other two who had ‘mysteriously disappeared’ had gathered.

“Let’s go, prepare to return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect.” Li Xuanyin looked at the group of energetic youths in front of him and said.

“Let’s go!”

“It’s over!”

“We did it, we’ll go back with honor!”

“Thanks to Tianming!”

Everyone echoed, most of them showing joy on their faces.

After all, advancing to the next round of the Star Ranking was something that would have been impossible in the past. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, the people of the Li Imperial Clan wouldn’t have believed it!

And Li Tianming had done it all. If they were to reject Li Tianming under these circumstances, it would be no different than pushing away their own honor!

Li Tianming hadn’t intended to linger here, as there was no point in staying without cultivating in the Star Palace to improve his strength.

Moreover, Li Dixiao had promised to upgrade his Star Palace, so returning to the Heavenly Emperor Sect for cultivation was the best option.

Most importantly, the Fixed-Space Butterfly was already in place in the Beacon Ruins, allowing him to sneak over at any time.

The Fixed-Space Butterfly and the Boundary Planet would allow him to travel freely between the Beacon Ruins and the Heavenly Emperor Sect, without relying on the special golden thread source walkway on the Giant Source.

Li Tianming understood that with his current strength, he was already somewhat lacking among the advancing geniuses, so to continue climbing higher, he had to drastically strengthen himself and improve his realm.

“I can still take a slight shortcut in the first round, but if there’s a direct confrontation later, my advantage with Yin Chen will vanish, and I’ll probably be unable to move an inch. Therefore, improving my strength and realm is the most important thing for me next…” Li Tianming thought to himself.
