Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7740
Chapter 7657: An Unexpected Change
Inside the Myriad Sects Battle Hall,
in Hall 886, Li Tianming’s figure appeared enveloped in the golden light of the Sky-Stabilizing Butterfly.
As the golden light dissipated, Li Tianming’s figure was revealed.
At this moment, Jiang Feiling had also released her spirit possession state and detached herself from Li Tianming’s body.
This golden-haired, golden-eyed girl looked at Li Tianming with a faint smile. Being by his side, she seemed never to feel bored.
After all, every moment spent with a loved one was precious.
And now, after a thousand years of cultivation, Li Tianming’s strength had advanced a great step forward, reaching the eleventh-tier Divine Seed Realm!
Although only at the Divine Seed Realm, his Cosmic God Body had grown to the level of two-tenths of a light-year!
Normally, most participants in the Myriad Sects Emperor War, even top geniuses, would have to rely on luck to break through one realm in a thousand years.
But Li Tianming had actually broken through three realms in a thousand years; such a terrifying rate of strength growth was undeniably fast.
However, Li Tianming wasn’t arrogant enough to believe he could dominate the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War. After all, many geniuses from the inner regions enjoyed incredibly abundant cultivation resources from birth.
So even though Li Tianming’s progress was rapid, it was still difficult to catch up with the resources accumulated over nearly ten thousand years in just a thousand years.
“The third round hasn’t started yet. There should still be several hundred years left in the two thousand years. I don’t need to waste these few hundred years.”
Li Tianming pondered for a moment, then decided to practice the ‘Vicissitudes’ sword technique again to become more proficient.
However, he had only practiced for a short while when new news seemed to arrive.
“Tianming, Yin Chen said there’s news from the sect!” Aurora suddenly interrupted Li Tianming, frowning as she spoke.
Li Tianming slowly sheathed his sword, let out a long breath, and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? Could it be that the person we’re waiting for has sent news?”
“No, it’s not about that.” Aurora shook her head; she naturally knew Li Tianming was referring to the person behind the Eternal Heavenly Emperor.
“What could possibly be happening to the Heavenly Emperor Sect?” Li Tianming was puzzled.
After all, the Heavenly Emperor Sect is now practically entirely under Li Tianming’s control, and almost all irrelevant individuals have been dealt with.
Logically, unless an enemy attacks, there shouldn’t be any other issues.
“Someone is asking us for help. The three who came are Wan Yao, Huangfu Yu, and Xiang Qin. They sent a message to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, saying that people led by the Illusion Star Cave are attacking their sect!” Aurora summarized the whole situation briefly.
As brother sects, they naturally have communication channels, so it wasn’t surprising that their message came through.
However, Sui Shenyao was somewhat surprised. She said, “Although the Illusion Star Cave is stronger than their sect, they shouldn’t be able to defeat them this badly, right?”
“No, it’s not that simple. They have someone behind them, most likely the Wusheng Thousand Illusion Sect.” Aurora shook her head.
“What? They came too? Are these people so petty?” Sui Shenyao was somewhat astonished.
After all, the conflict between Illusion Star Cave and various sects had existed for a long time, and it was foreseeable that it would be ignited by the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War. However, apart from being somewhat dissatisfied with their elimination, the grudges between Wusheng Thousand Illusion Sect and other sects like Ten Thousand Stars Emperor Sect and Illusion Star Cave were not as strong.
“I guess these forces that we defeated and hold a grudge against us are secretly retaliating against us. They don’t dare to touch the current favorite of Emperor Qianfeng, Tianming, nor do they dare to attack our sect, but they dare to annoy us in other ways.” Aurora was somewhat speechless.
“These little scum are really bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong, they are too hateful!” Sui Shenyao glared at him.
“In short, judging from the information they brought, besides Feng Yue Yeming and Feng Yue Youwei, and that Huan Yuan who looks very much like the ancestor of Illusion Heaven, there are also many mysterious Illusion God powerhouses present, each of them is very powerful. These people are putting pressure on Wan Yao’s sect and making it hard for them to breathe.” Aurora frowned and said.
“These are opponents far beyond their level, so it’s understandable that they struggle to cope. Moreover, the forces behind them might be far more complex than we think, and these are just the visible figures.” Li Tianming fell into deep thought.
Their group of ‘model youths’ had indeed gotten into a lot of trouble because of Li Tianming and Ji Qingyue.
And these people who came looking for trouble, besides picking on the weak, might also be subtly targeting Li Tianming, wanting to make him suffer.
Clearly, this was a planned revenge!
Li Tianming wasn’t in a hurry; his priority was to clarify the situation.
After all, the other side’s goal wasn’t just these sects, so at least for the short term, Wan Yao and the others were safe.
However, things might change if this drags on…
“These forces, mainly composed of Illusion God cultivators, should be particularly skilled in array formations. Even if they don’t completely block it, interfering with the outward communication of the Myriad Stars Emperor Sect, the Chaotic Dao Ruins, and the Myriad Phases Battle Sect shouldn’t be difficult. However… we received a clear message almost immediately. Don’t you think that’s a bit of a coincidence?” Li Tianming said after a moment’s thought.
“That’s right, how could it be so smooth? If they really wanted to make things difficult for these sects, blocking them would probably allow them to bully them even more recklessly. This is clearly intentional!” Sui Shenyao exclaimed, suddenly enlightened.
“So, this is actually a calculated scheme!” Li Tianming said slowly, his gaze deep. “They deliberately leaked the news to force us to make a choice.”
“If we choose to stand idly by, it could damage our reputation. Even if a more powerful force wanted to recruit us, they would probably think twice, affecting our future.” Aurora understood Li Tianming’s meaning and said thoughtfully, “But if we choose to intervene, in their minds, they might only be able to ask the Eternal Heavenly Emperor for help, or request the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor to put pressure on the Wusheng Qianhuan Sect.” “
If the Eternal Heavenly Emperor hasn’t turned against us yet, he probably won’t get involved in this matter. But if we choose to ask the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor, it would probably prematurely erode our friendship, and we would still be at a disadvantage.” Li Tianming sneered. “So, they thought we would be in trouble either way, and thus let the news get out smoothly.”
“These people are despicable! No wonder their descendants are so annoying in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War; it’s a case of the upper beam being crooked, and the lower beam being crooked too!” Sui Shenyao gritted his teeth in anger after hearing Li Tianming and Aurora’s explanation.
“Let that old codger, the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, stay in his Lingxiao Imperial Palace as the origin of the God of the Universe. As for finding the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor… I won’t go looking for him. If they want to cause trouble for us ‘good young people,’ they don’t dare to come to me directly, so we’ll take the initiative to find them!” Li Tianming chuckled.
He decided to personally accept this great gift from the Illusion God cultivators!
The Illusion Star Cave and other forces had clearly set up this open scheme based on the condition that Li Tianming needed to ask for help to solve his problem.
However, they never expected that Li Tianming had no intention of asking anyone for help, but instead personally led people to resolve the matter!
Li Tianming immediately instructed Yin Chen to send a message:
“Yin Chen, first have Zi Zhen return to the Burning Spirit Realm to await orders, then have Xiao Yu use the Fixed Sky Butterfly to come to Fengxu.”
“Okay,” Yin Chen replied.
If Wei Sheng Mo Ran left the Burning Spirit Realm, there would be no one to guard it, so Zi Zhen had to return at this critical moment.
The incident was sudden, and it wasn’t a matter of whether to disturb his cultivation; the matter before Li Tianming and the others was far more important than cultivation.
With the Fixed Sky Butterfly present, the process was quick, since Wei Sheng Mo Ran was already in the Burning Spirit Realm, near the Fixed Sky Butterfly mother butterfly.
After some time,
besides Jiang Fei Ling, the ancestor of the Divine Ruins Clan with a thirty-light-year Cosmic God body, Li Tianming now had Wei Sheng Mo Ran, with a forty-light-year Cosmic God body.
After understanding the situation, Wei Sheng Mo Ran frowned. She said coldly, “Losing in fair competition and then resorting to such underhanded tactics, these people are shameless.”
Li Tianming had been tricked, and even though the trick wasn’t a big deal to him, Wei Sheng Mo Ran couldn’t help but feel a bit resentful.
“It’s alright, they’ll soon find out that the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War can’t suppress me, and they can’t do anything to me outside of the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War either,” Li Tianming said with a cold smile, looking ahead.
With his two wives at the Great Ruins Realm level, and with Aurora and Sui Shen Yao by his side, Li Tianming embarked on his journey to the locations of the other sects!
Within the Beacon Ruins, there were already giant source-attracting walkways leading to many star systems in the outer regions. Li Tianming used one of these walkways when he first came to the Beacon Ruins.
However, these giant source-attracting walkways had some restrictions on users; only certain groups of people could use them.
For example, the Heavenly Emperor Sect, to use the giant source-attracting walkways, one had to have the bloodline of the Li Imperial Clan.
This time, when Li Dixiao received the distress call, he had already instructed Wan Yao and others to grant Li Tianming and his group special privileges.
The Illusion Star Cave and its mysterious Illusion God cultivators didn’t need the Giant Source Passage; they had their own channels to reach various sects and weren’t restricted by such conditions, though it would take longer.
At this moment, Li Tianming, holding Jiang Feiling’s hand in one hand and Wei Sheng Mo Ran’s in the other, entered the Giant Source Passage leading to the first sect.
A golden light flashed, and Li Tianming and his group disappeared into it.
This journey would also take about a year, but it was shorter than the time it took for the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect to reach Fengxu.
After receiving a reply from the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect, represented by Li Dixiao, the sects of the various ‘model youths’ seemed somewhat relieved.
However, some of them were curious as to why the Giant Source Passage towards Fengxu was the one that was opened.
