Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7802

Chapter 7719: Martial Immortal Beimian!

Ji Ziling smiled slightly, tacitly agreeing.

In reality, it wasn’t Emperor Qianfeng who summoned Li Tianming this time, but Inspector Liu!

“This is a rare opportunity; we must seize it,” Ji Ziling said slowly.

“Princess, what are the differences in the powers wielded by the Ancient Martial Immortals and the two Inspectors? And what are the differences in their methods of entering the Republic of the Divine Heaven?” Li Tianming immediately asked.

Now that he had reached the point of contacting such figures, Li Tianming decided to simply find out everything he wanted to know in one go.

Ji Ziling smiled slightly and then said, “In short, if Inspector Liu values you, she might be able to offer you an option in the Republic of Gods, instead of limiting you to the Martial Immortal Group. If you enter the Republic of Gods through her connections, your development there might be better than staying in the Martial Immortal Great Wall at the Corona Borealis.”

Li Tianming, upon hearing this, pondered, “What’s the difference between the opportunity in the Martial Immortal Group and the opportunity to enter the Republic of Gods with Inspector Liu?”

“The former is going to the border city guarded by humans, the latter is going to the imperial city of the Republic of Gods. You can understand it simply like that,” Ji Ziling said slowly.

“So that’s how it is…” Upon hearing this, Li Tianming immediately understood, and then slowly said, “The Great Wall of the Corona Borealis can be understood as a border region far from the imperial city, a place primarily for combat, and possibly even military-dominated. The Republic of Gods, on the other hand, is a prosperous place, where opportunities mostly lie in obtaining official positions.”

Ji Ziling nodded, “That’s right. Under these circumstances, most people would definitely prefer to go to the Republic of Gods, after all, they can stay away from danger and war, obtain stable development opportunities, not worry about sacrificing themselves in a battle, and have more time to focus on their own cultivation. Of course, going to the Great Wall of the Corona Borealis also has its advantages. It’s a place that values military merit; one general’s success is built on the bones of countless others. The front lines are dangerous, but risk also brings opportunity. If one can gain a lot of merit on that battlefield, the speed of promotion might be faster.”

“So, both actually have their advantages and disadvantages,” Li Tianming said thoughtfully.

“No, if you are valued by a powerful figure, then it’s not a matter of pros and cons,” Ji Ziling shook her head and said. “At least, the Ancient Martial Immortals aren’t paying much attention to you right now, but if you enter the Republic Divine Heaven and have Inspector Liu’s support, your promotion speed might not be any slower. Besides, she might not only represent herself; you need to understand that.”

Li Tianming understood, of course, that every official has their own direct superior.

However, upon hearing this, Li Tianming shook his head and smiled, “Thinking about that now is too far ahead. I should focus on what’s in front of me.”

“That’s true,” Ji Ziling nodded with a smile.

Li Tianming pondered for a moment, then asked curiously, “By the way, what exactly does this Great Wall of the Martial Immortal Corona Borealis defend against? What kind of enemies does it face?”

“Many alien races, all kinds of enemies. It’s a truly magnificent defensive line. Its existence allows us to maintain a relatively peaceful environment,” Ji Ziling recalled her childhood knowledge of the Great Wall of the Martial Immortal Corona Borealis, then looked at Li Tianming and said, “Of course, there are also Primordial Demons among them, and these are far more terrifying than the Primordial Demons within our borders. Their numbers are almost endless, coming from a much wider universe, impossible to estimate!”

Li Tianming’s eyes flickered upon hearing this, as if he had thought of something.

Seeing Li Tianming’s reaction, Ji Ziling didn’t find anything amiss. After all, Primordial Demons were universally hated in the universe, and their encroachment on the living space of other cosmic life forms was commonplace.

Considering Li Tianming’s status as an outsider, and even being granted a first-level subordinate sect title for his demon-slaying achievements, Ji Qingyue seemed to have realized something.

“If you ever have the chance to advance, don’t impulsively choose the Martial Immortal Group because of your hatred for the ancient demons. You must understand that the battlefield isn’t just about the front lines. Taking care of the rear is also a way of serving the country, and it’s a way of indirectly supporting the front lines,” Ji Ziling carefully advised.

Li Tianming was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Princess, I understand these things.”

As they talked, the spaceship arrived outside the imperial city.

Next, under Ji Ziling’s guidance, Li Tianming headed to a side hall for receiving guests within the imperial city.

“This place is called the Danxing Hall. It was where my father lived when he was a prince. It hasn’t been used for a long time. We had the servants clean it up especially to entertain our distinguished guests,” Ji Ziling introduced with a smile.

The entire hall was made of fiery red jade, like a crimson star burning fiercely in the universe, radiating an extremely intense aura.

The two entered together and walked through a long corridor.

Inside, it seemed very quiet; even the slightest difference in their footsteps could be discerned.

It wasn’t until Li Tianming and Ji Ziling entered the main hall that they saw two figures with profound auras already waiting.

These two were none other than Inspector Liu, clad in silver robes with captivating phoenix eyes, and the majestic and handsome Emperor Qianfeng, wearing a crown.

Emperor Qianfeng sat in the second seat, while Inspector Liu was the head of the table.

At this moment, their gazes simultaneously fell upon Li Tianming, like a dark cloud hanging over him.

The atmosphere was solemn; the aura of the two powerful figures suppressed the surrounding palace maids, who dared not utter a sound. Even when their gazes weren’t directed at them, they trembled with fear.

“Your subject, Li Tianming, pays respects to Inspector Liu and His Majesty Emperor Qianfeng,” Li Tianming said calmly, bowing with neither servility nor arrogance.

Inspector Liu and Emperor Qianfeng remained silent immediately, calmly observing Li Tianming.

Li Tianming knew that Emperor Qianfeng was waiting for Inspector Liu, who held a higher position, to speak first, so that he could speak more easily.

Therefore, while Li Tianming bowed slightly, Inspector Liu observed him for a moment before raising her hand slightly and saying, “No need for formalities.”

Li Tianming then looked at her and smiled calmly.

“Li Tianming, let me ask you, what are your thoughts on the Great Wall of the Martial Immortal’s Crown of the North and the Republic of the Divine Heaven?” Inspector Liu asked directly.

“I haven’t been to either of these places, so I can’t say I know much about them. However, I will strive to do well in the next four rounds of battles to earn the opportunity to serve them. Otherwise, making a choice in advance is pointless. As for my future, I will leave it all to Inspector Liu’s arrangements,” Li Tianming said without hesitation.

“Good.” Inspector Liu nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied.

One reason she deliberately asked Li Tianming about his impressions of the two places was to see if he considered the unsecured slots as a choice.

In just a few words, Inspector Liu had already laid numerous traps for Li Tianming.

Inspector Liu’s gaze shifted slightly as he looked at Li Tianming’s tall, white-haired figure, and slowly said, “I’ll have you summon your backers to see me once. There should be more than two of them.”

Li Tianming remained impassive, suppressing his reaction.

He knew that the other party was referring to Jiang Feiling and Wei Shengmo Ran.
