Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7564

Chapter 7478: Good News

Through the Giant Source Gateway, Li Tianming arrived at the Tianming Star System, which is also the core of the entire Tianming Alliance.

Now holding the position of Holy Governor, Li Tianming could use the Li Clan Imperial Decree, representing his identity, to directly enter the Holy Governor’s Mansion within the Tianming Star System via the Giant Source Gateway.

At that moment, a flash of light passed through the Holy Governor’s Mansion, and Li Tianming stepped out of the gateway.

Looking up, he could see a dazzling array of nebulae, with countless star rivers condensing into giant pillars of light!

High above, there were countless super cosmic ray sources, which, from the perspective of the Guanzizai Realm

, resembled an even more dazzling starry sky! Combining the embellishments of the Guanzizai Realm with the overwhelmingly realistic grandeur of the universe, the extravagance of this place left Li Tianming speechless.

At the far end of this grand hall stood a throne.

Upon that throne sat a tall, voluptuous woman dressed in pure white, clad in dragon-scale armor and a battle skirt.

She was leaning to the side, chin in hand, seemingly a little bored, but her eyes lit up when she saw the white-haired, golden-eyed figure appear in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, Li Tianming was there, smiling and teasing, “Commander An, are you getting used to managing such a large star system alliance? The Heavenly Mandate Alliance is newly established, are there any problems?”

“Stop being so cheeky!” An Ning rolled her eyes, chuckling, “You’re so good at leaving me here as a figurehead while you go off to have fun. Now look what’s happened, I don’t even have a battle to fight.”

“I haven’t been idle either, have I? Feel your current strength? This is all the result of my hard work. I become stronger, you become stronger, and then use this strength to solve problems that can only be solved with fists. Isn’t that even better for management?” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

“It seems to have actually worked.” An Ning said thoughtfully upon hearing this. “Some of the former dynasty’s loyalists, even after I intervened last time, still secretly plotted against me. But since Yin Chen found the evidence against them and I wiped out a group of them, no one dared to cause trouble anymore.”

“Ultimately, they probably think you wouldn’t dare to actually kill anyone while I’m not around,” Li Tianming chuckled. “They probably think you’re just a star puppet, and if you make a decision on your own while I’m not around, you risk being blamed or even punished by me.”

“Tsk! But they never expected our relationship, nor did they expect my combat strength to increase along with your cultivation level.” An Ning couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright, then you should first protect this ‘land.’ Don’t rush into conquest. If you get bored, use the communication star tower to chat with Xiao Yu to relieve your boredom,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.

During this time, An Ning had completely replaced Li Tianming, the Holy Governor, in the Tianming Alliance’s decision-making position.

While management wasn’t An Ning’s forte, maintaining the stability of the Heavenly Mandate Alliance was more than sufficient.

Therefore, since arriving at the Heavenly Mandate Alliance, An Ning had already purged the ‘remnants of the previous dynasty,’ changed some systems, and ensured the prosperity of the golden star systems under the Heavenly Mandate Alliance’s jurisdiction—those already conquered.

In reality, most Holy Governors collected substantial resource taxes from lower-level star systems, maximizing resource acquisition.

Moreover, with the Li Imperial Clan’s imperial path serving as a model, many Holy Governors acted with even greater impunity.

However, this was absolutely detrimental to the development of the Li Heavenly Mandate Imperial path, so An Ning needed to implement sweeping reforms, comprehensively overhauling the system from top to bottom. An Ning had already begun pushing forward this reform beforehand.

So far, everything was going smoothly, mainly because An Ning, as a ‘star puppet’ of a ‘meritorious minister’ like Li Heavenly Mandate, possessed supreme power and formidable military strength; very few dared to defy her.

After learning about the situation of the Heavenly Fate Alliance, Li Tianming instructed Yin Chen to notify Zi Zhen to activate the Boundary Planet.

With a flash of chaotic lightning across the spatial rift, he instantly disappeared from the Holy Governor’s Mansion.

Returning to the Burning Spirit Realm, Li Tianming quickly arrived at the Illusion Whale in the Demon Nest via the Fixed Space Butterfly Mother.

Lin Xiaoxiao was sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating.

Countless spherical Primordial Demon Rays around her were gradually absorbed during her cultivation, shrinking smaller and smaller until some disappeared.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao’s speed in refining and absorbing the Primordial Demon Rays seemed slow; she was merely consolidating her current realm.

Sensing Li Tianming’s arrival, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were blood-red, cold and alluring, each containing eighteen layers of Heavenly Fate Reincarnation.

Li Tianming was surprised by this discovery. He said, “You’ve also broken through to the Divine Seed Realm?”

“Yes, I just broke through a while ago,” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.

“So fast?” Li Tianming couldn’t help but sigh.

“It’s alright, mainly because there are enough resources here, and we also have something as useful as the Phantom Whale,” Lin Xiaoxiao said with a slight smile.

Before this, although Lin Xiaoxiao was ahead of Li Tianming in terms of cultivation level, Li Tianming had the resources of the Ancient Star Palace to cultivate with, and his cultivation had already progressed by leaps and bounds.

Logically, Li Tianming should have surpassed Lin Xiaoxiao’s cultivation speed, but unexpectedly, she had also broken through.

Now, their progress in cultivation level was almost equal.

This scene before him truly amazed Li Tianming.

He glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao and was astonished to find that her Primordial Divine Seed had also transformed into a Light-Year Divine Seed.

Li Tianming didn’t need to guess; she possessed the bloodline of an ancient demon, practically a humanoid ancient demon, and her Primordial Divine Seed certainly didn’t need the Light-Year Origin Spring to aid its transformation. She

didn’t need the Ancient Star Palace or the Light-Year Origin Spring; cultivation and the Primordial Demon Rays were enough for her breakthrough.

If others knew about Lin Xiaoxiao’s unique characteristics, it would definitely cause a sensation!

However, Li Tianming knew that Lin Xiaoxiao’s physique was practically cheating for ordinary cultivators or even ancient demons!

When ancient demons had long growth cycles, Lin Xiaoxiao was human!

When it was too difficult for humans to comprehend the Dao, and human cultivation resources were scarce, Lin Xiaoxiao was an ancient demon!

The system formed by the combination of the two races, to some extent, leveraged their strengths and avoided their weaknesses, allowing Lin Xiaoxiao to forge a unique path!

It could be said that no one around Li Tianming, including himself, followed the conventional path. After

five hundred years of cultivation, Lin Xiaoxiao had accumulated a considerable amount of demonic honey.

Since they were already here, they might as well collect the honey first!

In this Phantom Whale, filled with countless primordial demonic rays, Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao inevitably engaged in another passionate encounter.

After collecting the last bit of demonic honey, Li Tianming was still full of energy.

At this moment, the Phantom Whale was filled with traces of their past entanglements. Lin Xiaoxiao was exhausted and weak, her blood-red eyes shimmering as if she had just been pulled from the water.

“Xiaoxiao, how’s the progress on your attempt to contact the ancient demon queen here?” Li Tianming asked, looking at her.

“There’s good news.”

A voice suddenly appeared, and Wuyou emerged from her symbiotic space, appearing before them.

Lin Xiaoxiao was startled by her sudden action and instinctively covered her face.

Wuyou rolled her eyes at her reaction and said, “What’s there to be ashamed of? You’re not a virgin.”

“Wuyou! Shall I have Lanhuang come and keep you company?” Lin Xiaoxiao said, somewhat annoyed.

At this moment, Lanhuang shouted excitedly in his symbiotic space, his voice shaking the entire space.

“Sister Wuyou! I’m here!!”

Nebulae were spewing from Lanhuang’s nostrils, clearly very excited.

However, Li Tianming interrupted, “Alright, alright, stop fooling around, let’s talk about something serious.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lanhuang, though somewhat reluctant, knew the importance of the matter.
