Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7651

Chapter 7566: The Next Plan!

Everyone quickly selected the ancient star palaces that suited them, and Wan Yao and the others were all beaming with joy.

After all, they were just juniors, and although the sect had some corresponding cultivation resources, they were far beyond their reach.

Therefore, obtaining these ancient star palaces made it difficult for them to suppress their joy.

“Our respected captain, what are your orders next? Where should we go to search for treasure?” Ji Xuanjian clapped his hands in satisfaction after receiving the ancient star palaces.

Upon hearing this, Wan Yao and the others were also very curious and all looked at Li Tianming, but they remained silent, as if waiting for Li Tianming to make a decision.

To them, this was, after all, a super powerful figure, and given the agreed-upon captain’s decision, they were even more inclined to follow Li Tianming’s decision.

At this moment, Li Tianming didn’t rush to answer. He pondered for a moment, then asked, “How long will this second round of the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle take from start to finish?”

“I remember, a thousand years in total,” Ji Xuanjian blurted out, then added excitedly, “Let’s set off quickly and find as many treasures as possible during this thousand years.”

“Including these ancient star palaces, we should have quite a few Emperor Points, right?” Li Tianming said to himself.

“Of course we have quite a few. Do you think ancient star palaces are something you can find anywhere? We’re already far ahead of others in points. It will probably take them a lot of effort to catch up. But after all, they have a thousand years to catch up, so it’s not an absolute victory…” Ji Xuanjian suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes widening slightly, “Wait, you’re not planning to continue looking for treasures, are you?”

“That’s right, I plan to stay here and cultivate,” Li Tianming nodded decisively.

“What are you trying to do?” Ji Xuanjian stared, seemingly utterly bewildered. “Weren’t we given two thousand years to cultivate before the battle? Time for treasure hunting is incredibly precious; are you sure you want to waste it?”

Wan Yao and the others also looked puzzled.

“Brother Tianming, are you really sure? Aren’t you going to try and push for the final score?” Xiang Qin hesitated slightly.

“Yes, Brother Tianming, with your strength, if you add Brother Ji, you should be able to contend with many teams,” Wan Yao added.

They had all consciously excluded their own combat power, after all, it was a miracle they had survived until now in the second round of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle; they had only managed to hold their own thanks to Li Tianming’s intervention.

“This is my personal decision. If you also decide to stay, then you can all stay and cultivate together. If anyone wants to leave, that’s fine too. But if you’re eliminated because of this, there’s nothing I can do. After all, it’s your own decision.” Li Tianming’s gaze narrowed slightly, and he slowly continued, “We have a hundred-year agreement. Once I begin my cultivation, a hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye, and you can certainly choose a new captain.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? How can we, the five good young people, separate so easily?” Ji Xuanjian was speechless, then looked at the others and said, “What do you all think? Tell me your opinions. We’re a team, so of course we need to see everyone’s thoughts.”

Huangfu Yu and the other two exchanged glances, then looked at Ji Xuanjian and Li Tianming.

They could also see that Li Tianming had already made up his mind and was unlikely to change it, while Ji Xuanjian was clearly eager to go treasure hunting.

So, Xiang Qin stepped forward. After a slight hesitation, he said, “Since that’s the case, then we’ll stay and cultivate as well.”

“We all know that everything we have now is largely due to Brother Tianming’s kindness. With our strength, going out to find treasure is more like going to our deaths than searching for it. It’s better to stay with Brother Tianming,” Huangfu Yu said with a sense of relief.

“So, even if we can lie low and successfully bring these treasures out, and even convert them into points, I’ll be very satisfied,” Wan Yao said firmly.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned to Ji Xuanjian, who felt somewhat uncomfortable under their stares.

She blinked and said, “Why are you all looking at me?”

“Brother Ji, what are your thoughts?” Xiang Qin asked softly.

“What else can I do? What’s the point of going out on my own? If none of you are leaving, then I’m not leaving either,” Ji Xuanjian rolled her eyes.

It seemed that everyone had already made their decision.

Li Tianming glanced at everyone, then smiled slightly and said, “Since that’s the case, let’s cultivate then. We can go treasure hunting later when we have time!”

“Yes!”

Wan Yao and the others nodded in agreement, seemingly having reached a consensus.

Their confusion vanished, and they all spoke up:

“When we come out of seclusion, we might be able to hold Brother Tianming back a little less.”

“Maybe we’ll have some opportunities before the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War ends.”

At this moment, Ji Xuanjian curled his lip, “I won’t cultivate. I’ll just wander around and keep watch. After all, this area might attract other teams, so you all have to work hard. Don’t forget who’s protecting you.”

“Thank you, Brother Ji!”

Wan Yao and the others were somewhat apprehensive upon hearing this, and each of them bowed to Ji Xuanjian with the utmost respect due to their peers.

The princess was here to protect their cultivation—what an honor!

If it weren’t for Qian Feng’s ring monitoring them, they would have wanted to kneel before Ji Xuanjian.

For the little princess of the Qian Feng Eternal Empire, this courtesy was not excessive at all, especially since she was going to help them.

“Alright, alright, we’re all brothers, no need for formalities, hurry up and start cultivating.” Ji Xuanjian waved her hand, then seemed a little disdainful, “This ancient star palace is really just so-so, only useful for points.”

As the pampered little princess of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire, she naturally had better resources, so it was normal for her to look down on these ancient star palaces.

Wan Yao and the others didn’t care at all, because they all knew each other’s identities, so they felt it was only natural.

So after arranging everything, Ji Xuanjian turned around and slowly walked out of the golden secret hall, disappearing without a trace…

Li Tianming and the others also prepared to cultivate, each releasing their own ancient star palaces.

Boom boom boom!!

After several loud noises, a total of four huge ancient star palaces returned to the secret hall, appearing before Li Tianming and the other three.

These ancient star palaces were all incredibly large, and each one shone brightly, their dazzling starlight illuminating the interior of the golden secret hall.

In the eyes of Wan Yao and the others, Li Tianming’s decision to stay and cultivate was tantamount to giving up on continuing to compete for rankings.

But only Li Tianming knew in his heart that this wasn’t a waste of time, because he had Yin Chen!

During his cultivation process, he could have Yin Chen spread the information ahead of time, accumulating countless intelligence over a long period.

The entire Upside-Down Tower was too vast; secret palaces like this were extremely rare, and most people would waste a lot of time searching for treasure.

Li Tianming, having obtained advance information through Yin Chen, knew where the valuable items were and who possessed them, making his efforts far more efficient.

So, while he appeared to be doing nothing, he was actually more efficient at finding treasures than if the group had ventured out alone.

Of course, Ji Xuanjian and the others were unaware of these secrets.

While secretly instructing Yin Chen to find information about the treasures, Li Tianming entered the ancient star palace he had chosen.

This ancient star palace was incredibly vast, comparable to the ancient star palace of the Stealing Heaven Clan he had previously used, with a diameter of approximately 50,000 light-years!

The entire massive star was shrouded in countless colorful star mists, allowing only a vague estimate of its size, making it impossible to see its entirety.

Li Tianming then stepped inside…
