Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7666

Chapter 7581: Divine Treasure Communication

“Hey, what are you afraid of? We’re all brothers! I’ll protect you, don’t worry!” Ji Xuanjian patted Li Tianming on the shoulder, still as carefree as ever.

It seemed that even though her identity had been exposed, she had no burden and remained the same as before.

Li Tianming currently possessed forty-nine ancient star palaces and countless treasures, while Ji Xuanjian had eleven.

These eleven ancient star palaces seemed few, but in reality, they were not.

After all, Ji Xuanjing’s team consisted entirely of prince-level super geniuses; the five of them combined had fifty ancient star palaces, averaging ten per person.

Ji Xuanjian, however, had done almost nothing to catch up with these geniuses, and her personal score had quietly risen to a very high position in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle—this was already quite astonishing.

In fact, Li Tianming’s spoils this time were entirely due to his own efforts, and he was fully entitled to keep them.

But this would also present a problem: it meant he had caused the trouble, and while he was reaping the benefits, he would also have to bear the consequences.

While Ji Xuanjian appeared greedy, wanting to reap the benefits of Li Tianming’s gains, she actually understood the significance of those ten Ancient Star Palaces!

Accepting them would be more beneficial to Li Tianming; refusing would be counterproductive.

The other geniuses present also understood this, and Ji Xuanjing and the others exchanged glances, their eyes seemingly conveying a hidden message…

After accepting the Ancient Star Palaces, Ji Xuanjian seemed to become even closer to Li Tianming, always putting her arm around him and addressing him as a brother.

Li Tianming allowed her to do as she pleased, as their relationship directly determined whether Ji Xuanjian’s backers could support him in crucial moments.

…

After this battle, the entire Fengxu was shaken!

Countless people were amazed by Li Tianming’s performance.

Meanwhile, inside the Wanzong Imperial Tower…

Upon seeing this result, Prince Yuan and the others, except for Emperor Qianfeng, remained silent for a long time…

The offspring they had sent to compete in the Star Group were undoubtedly among the best in the entire Inner Frontier, yet they had been defeated by a mere disciple from an Outer Frontier sect!

Under such circumstances, they couldn’t save face, and their expressions were far from pleasant, though they managed to maintain a semblance of decorum in this setting.

In contrast, Emperor Qianfeng’s lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he watched the two figures in the image.

Prince Yuan and the others’ group had their treasures snatched by Li Tianming, but the little princess hadn’t!

Ji Xuanjian had not only obtained a large number of Ancient Star Palaces but also seemed to be getting along well with Li Tianming, which was equivalent to establishing a good relationship with this genius beforehand, saving them the trouble of sending someone to contact him later.

“Everyone, isn’t Yue’er’s judgment quite good?” Emperor Qianfeng looked at everyone present, unusually speaking up.

Prince Yuan and the others had just calmed down when they felt as if they had been pricked by needles.

“Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qianfeng on acquiring a top-tier talent,” said Emperor Longyuan, clasping his hands in a fist salute, his expression calm.

Emperor Yuanxue, expressionless, also spoke slowly: “The little princess indeed has a keen eye, and Fellow Daoist Qianfeng is also farsighted to have found such a person.”

Everyone congratulated Emperor Qianfeng, including Prince Yuan.

Emperor Qianfeng then smiled slightly and said: “I apologize to everyone. I didn’t expect the two teams to meet. This time, Yue’er won by a narrow margin. But where there is competition, there are naturally losers…”

“This young man’s strength is indeed astonishing. He won decisively, and we have nothing to say,” said Emperor Zhiwang, flicking his sleeve.

“It seems he has been hiding quite a bit. He hasn’t even revealed it to me. The strength that Li Tianming described back then is far inferior to his current performance,” Ji Ziling said, her eyes flashing as she looked at the image, seemingly unintentionally.

In fact, this statement was also meant for everyone present.

This indicates that Ji Ziling and the others had indeed made contact with Li Tianming beforehand; he was a genius they had been eyeing for some time.

Although Ji Ziling initially didn’t take Li Tianming seriously, the truth was irrelevant. What mattered was what they thought and how Emperor Qianfeng would treat Li Tianming in the future.

As long as the act was convincing enough, the fake could become real.

The emperors of the several third-tier star system member states present, upon hearing Ji Ziling’s words, all secretly observed her.

The information revealed forced them to reconsider Li Tianming.

If Emperor Qianfeng cared about Li Tianming, they couldn’t be too obviously targeting him, at least not outwardly.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was still on Li Tianming and Emperor Qianfeng.

Prince Yuan glanced at a corner to the side without making any move, and then a person from the shadows approached Prince Yuan, leaning down to listen.

“Go, use ‘Divine Treasure Communication’ to tell Yin Yan that Xuan Jing was stolen by this Li Tianming. Tell her to deal with Li Tianming.”

Prince Yuan said in a voice only the other party could hear.

The black figure nodded slightly and then disappeared into the shadows, seemingly having quietly left the Myriad Sects Imperial Tower…

…

In the streets of Fengxu.

All the people who had been watching Li Tianming’s battle were now in an uproar!

“Who exactly is this Li Tianming? Even the princes and princesses, and even Prince Yuan’s son, are no match for him!” “

He has abilities from every race, and he’s incredibly powerful. He defeated each person in their area of expertise, which is even more astonishing!”

“The common knowledge that having too many mixed-race abilities makes it difficult to achieve success doesn’t seem to apply to him at all?”

“But he’s probably in big trouble now. Not only did he steal the treasure, but he also utterly humiliated these people.”

“Perhaps the little princess will protect him. The two seem to have a close relationship…”

Inside the Myriad Sects Battle Hall.

Even Li Dixiao and the others were so amazed they were almost speechless.

“With Tianming’s strength, could it be that he has improved even in the past nine hundred years?” Li Zhaotang’s beautiful eyes widened.

“He crushed the son of Prince Yuan, who was at the second-tier evolutionary realm. He must have already reached the third-tier evolutionary realm, right?” Huangfu Qi said, somewhat shaken.

“Your son-in-law is truly well-hidden.” Xuan Tianque glanced at Li Dixiao and couldn’t help but sigh.

“After all, he has the Ancient Star Palace to cultivate in. It’s probably because his cultivation talent is inherently high, plus good luck, that he has made such progress in nine hundred years.” Li Dixiao was also shaken, but he still spoke calmly.

“Where in the world does good luck come from?” Xuan Tianque smiled, seemingly with a profound meaning. “Perhaps, all of this was planned long ago. His talent was meant to shine in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War; his ambitions far exceed those of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

“Perhaps,” Li Dixiao nodded, not denying it.

That wasn’t important to him; what mattered most was what Li Tianming’s growth could bring to the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect.

At this moment, Qian Huanlingyi, Feng Yueyouwei, and the others were all filled with disbelief upon seeing Li Tianming’s victory.

However, they dared not speak recklessly in front of the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect, solely because of the communication star tower left behind by the Eldest Princess!

It was a fact that Li Tianming had eliminated their team or caused them to lose their treasures; it wasn’t easy to let go of this resentment.

But at this moment, they also felt a lingering fear.

“Could Li Tianming really be able to climb the social ladder and join the Qianfeng royal family?”

“When that happens, how will we face them?”

“No! The Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War isn’t over yet, everything is still uncertain. Even the little princess isn’t someone everyone can just walk through unscathed; there will always be teams that will fight her…”

Qianhuan Lingyi’s thoughts raced.

After all, Li Tianming is still an outsider. If a team defeats him, Ji Xuanjian might not be in trouble, but a disciple of an outsider sect like Li Tianming will definitely be eliminated, directly destroying the Qianfeng Ring!

The unspoken rule of not destroying the Qianfeng Ring only works within that inner-region circle; it doesn’t work on Li Tianming. No matter his strength, if he loses, he’s highly likely to be eliminated.
