Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7815

Chapter 7732: Mixed Green

Noticing this person, Li Tianming glanced sideways.

He could immediately recognize this figure as a ghost or deity.

This ghost or deity’s appearance was not much different from an ordinary human; his face was square and masculine, possessing a handsomeness distinct from femininity.

His most striking feature seemed to be his immense height—an exaggeratedly tall stature, possibly exceeding two meters in the Guanzizai Realm!

“Brother, what brings you here?” Li Tianming asked directly.

“My name is ‘Hunqing,’ interested in making friends?” the man said bluntly.

“Why?” Li Tianming asked calmly.

“I am one of the top four, and besides, I believe we might be kindred spirits,” the burly figure who called himself Hunqing added.

Li Tianming laughed upon hearing this, “I think you must be related to the First Chaotic Demon Empire, right? How could we possibly be on the same path?”

Hun Qing didn’t answer directly, but smiled and said, “To be honest, I’m quite envious of you, even a little jealous. We’re from similar backgrounds, yet our circumstances are vastly different.”

Li Tianming was speechless, “Envious of what? Envious of my status as an outsider? Envious that I’m constantly being targeted and attacked wherever I go?”

“I genuinely feel that your personality suits me, and I won’t beat around the bush with you.” Hun Qing took a deep breath, as if making up his mind, and said, “Actually, I’m an illegitimate son of the Chaotic Demon Emperor. Even though you’re also an illegitimate son, you seem to receive protection from your family, but I’m different. The path I take is restricted at every turn.”

“Wait, wait, wait!” Li Tianming was stunned, “So you’re an illegitimate son? And how did I become an illegitimate son too?”

“Isn’t that right? As the ruler of a top-tier star system in the inner borderlands, how could he possibly favor someone from the outer borderlands with no background? Besides, without a powerful bloodline and talent, how could you have climbed from that quagmire of the outer borderlands to become one of the top four in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor Battle?” Hun Qing said matter-of-factly.

Li Tianming was even more speechless upon hearing this. Seeing that the other party was quite honest, he also spoke the truth, “His Majesty Qianfeng has indeed treated me well, but I am absolutely certain that we have no blood relation.”

“You really got here because of your bloodline and background from the outer borderlands?” Hun Qing was extremely surprised upon hearing this.

He easily accepted this fact, but instead admired Li Tianming even more.

“Of course.” Li Tianming nodded.

In fact, Hun Qing was partly right. Without bloodline and talent, it would indeed be difficult to reach Li Tianming’s current level.

However, his bloodline was not only from the inner borderlands, but also from the Stealing Heaven Clan!

“But speaking of which, you’re practically a prince who’s been living away from home, so why are you facing so many restrictions? And your ranking is even higher than that ‘Lone Demon’ prince, shouldn’t you be given more important responsibilities?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat surprised.

“That’s a bit complicated to explain,” Hun Qing sighed slightly, then said, “Although I’m older and indeed stronger than him, my mother’s background is quite humble; she wasn’t even recognized as royalty and has always been neglected.”

“I see…” Li Tianming seemed thoughtful.

“However, even if, as you say, you’re not Qian Feng’s illegitimate son, his current support is a strong backing for you,” Hun Qing added. “Is

your identity really just a burden?” Li Tianming asked, still curious.

After all, if the other party’s situation was truly dire, it seemed difficult for him to have reached this point on his own, and Li Tianming also believed in the principle that even tigers don’t eat their cubs.

“Not entirely. I have royal blood. Although I don’t usually receive any help, those of lower status don’t dare to touch me. At least my life is safe. And during my time training in the outer regions, the resources and treatment I received were almost the same as those of the local disciples,” Hun Qing said with a slight sigh.

“Then you are very resilient. To have fought your way up to this point on your own, your talent is definitely underestimated,” Li Tianming sincerely praised.

Along the way, many people noticed Li Tianming and Hun Qing traveling together and whispered among themselves.

However, neither of them cared much about outsiders; in a sense, both were very pure.

Walking along the streets of Fengxu, on the way to the Ten Thousand Sects Battlefield, Hun Qing looked at Li Tianming and suddenly asked, “Brother Li, to be honest, if you had the chance to leave the inner border, between the Great Wall of the Martial Immortal Corona Borealis and the Republic of Gods, which place would you be more interested in?”

Li Tianming replied without hesitation, “I haven’t decided yet. What are your thoughts? Tell me first.”

Hun Qing said decisively, “I only want to go to the Great Wall of the Martial Immortal Corona Borealis. Although it is under the jurisdiction of the Super Star Republic, it is not the same as the Republic of Gods. It is independent of the Republic of Gods, far from the emperor’s reach, and has its own system, which is most suitable for me.”

“So decisive?” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“Of course.” Hun Qing nodded, his gaze slightly narrowed, “That is a battlefield, and compared to that, it is less concerned with background. I can forget my identity and live for myself. If I can carve out a place for myself, I might even have a chance to surpass him!”

“Surpass the ruler of the strongest Ghost God Dynasty, you, an illegitimate son, have such great ambitions?” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.

When Hun Qing spoke, he exuded an aura of righteous indignation.

“I’m not after that power; I want to leave proof of my existence.” Hun Qing slowly exhaled, then looked at Li Tianming and said, “You said you haven’t decided yet, but I actually suggest you also go to the Great Wall of the North Corona of the Martial Immortal.”

“Why do you say that?” Li Tianming asked.

This was an opportunity to gather information delivered to his door, and he naturally wouldn’t let it pass.

Hun Qing didn’t mince words, slowly saying, “The Republic of the Divine Heaven is a place that highly values relationships and connections. Without a good background, it’s impossible to truly rise. Even if you gain the favor of someone, the help you receive will be limited, and there won’t be much opportunity for development. I’ve already told you what kind of person the Great Wall of the North Corona of the Martial Immortal is suitable for.”

“Okay, I’ll remember. Thank you for the reminder, Brother Hun.” Li Tianming clasped his hands in a gesture of sincere gratitude.

In fact, Li Tianming was also considering this matter.

Just as the Martial Immortal Group had told him, several important figures had chosen Li Tianming; he had a choice.

Currently, he can only say that he has the opportunity provided by Inspector Liu; the Great Wall of Martial Immortals, represented by the Ancient Martial Immortals, has not yet extended an olive branch to him.

With Hun Qing’s reminder, Li Tianming also knows that even if Inspector Liu really wants to promote him, the extent to which she can do so is limited.

Without connections and background, and given that he is merely from the outer regions, it is extremely difficult for him to have a chance to rise in the ranks.
