Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7838

Chapter 7754: People from the Martial Immortal Group Arrive

Meanwhile, Li Tianming was on his way back to the Myriad Sects Battle Hall.

Ji Ziling and Ji Qingyue spontaneously saw him off from the imperial city, both offering their congratulations.

“Brother Tianming, this year’s Myriad Sects Imperial Battle already had generous rewards, unlike previous years. You’ve also won the top prize, so you really have a chance to rise to prominence.” Ji Qingyue patted Li Tianming’s shoulder with a smile, showing no formality.

Ji Ziling smiled slightly and said, “The quota for the Heavenly Strategy Scholar isn’t a privilege reserved for the top scholar, but rather a benefit promised to the corresponding genius by the policy of the Republic of China and the authority of Inspector Liu.”

“So, she wasn’t originally obligated to give me this quota, right?” Li Tianming was slightly surprised.

“Yes.” Ji Ziling nodded, and added, “That’s precisely why her sincerity is so evident; she truly admires you.”

Hearing this, Li Tianming felt a slight headache coming on.

Inspector Liu’s high expectations of him were sometimes a burden.

Without receiving a favor, there was no obligation to serve; however, if he accepted it, Li Tianming’s conscience wouldn’t allow him to go against the other party, and societal opinion would also bind the two together.

But since the other party had already promised, Li Tianming had no reason to refuse—why not accept a benefit offered so readily

? Since he couldn’t refuse, he might as well enjoy it!

Soon, Li Tianming left the imperial city.

After bidding farewell to Ji Qingyue and Ji Ziling, he headed alone towards the Myriad Sects Battle Hall.

On the way, Li Tianming pondered his next plan…

“Currently, Xiaoyu’s meeting with Inspector Han at Fengxu is still a problem… This operation could easily increase many unnecessary risks.”

“Unlike Ling’er, she can’t possess a spirit. If something unexpected happens to her at Fengxu, I won’t be able to take her with me to escape.”

Thinking of this, Li Tianming felt a slight headache.

Not to mention the presence of the two Inspectors, Han and Liu, and the three giants, the Ancient Martial Immortal, within the Beacon Ruins, there are at least a thousand top-tier experts from the member states of the third-level star systems, not to mention the remaining experts from the member states of the fourth and fifth-level star systems.

It can be said that the Beacon Ruins is now teeming with powerful figures, a truly terrifying number!

Before these experts left, certain shady businesses within the Beacon Ruins, such as those belonging to the Nightmare organization, dared not continue their operations.

Even if the cessation of business would result in losses, they dared not take the risk.

After all, if they were to alert the top figures and be completely eradicated, they would have nowhere to turn for help.

Under this pressure, Li Tianming also dared not gamble on whether those who disliked him would cause trouble.

He could still take Jiang Feiling and the others and leave via a boundary planet or enter the void universe, but Wei Sheng Mo Ran could not. This was the root of Li Tianming’s concerns and his reluctance to let her meet Inspector Liu directly.

“It seems that Inspector Liu truly admires and values you, but it’s also true that this request is causing us distress,” Sui Shenyao sighed softly.

“We can only postpone it as much as possible and see if there are any changes,” Li Tianming said slowly, his gaze slightly narrowed. “Even if we don’t deliberately avoid her, using the Giant Source-Attracting Plank Road for a year is still necessary.”

He would never reveal the secret of the Sky-Stabilizing Butterfly.

Back at the Myriad Sects Battle Hall, Li Tianming rested for a while.

Jiang Feiling, An Ning, Sui Shenyao, and Aurora all disembarked from Li Tianming’s body, and his companion beasts, such as Yinghuo, also came out for some fresh air.

Xiao Jiu’s body was like a dark cloud, so deep it could crush the sky and make one’s heart tremble at just a glance.

It drifted aimlessly in the hall where Li Tianming was staying.

During this time, Xiao Jiu even conjured an arm, lying on its side supporting its head, in a posture that was even somewhat… alluring!

Everyone noticed this scene and first looked at the little yellow chick lying in a similar position. Xiao Jiu was clearly imitating Ying Huo.

“Why are you looking at me? Haven’t you ever seen a handsome guy before?” Ying Huo said, scratching his back with his wing as he met everyone’s gaze.

Everyone and all the beasts were almost drunk!

Li Tianming reasonably suspected that Ying Huo had lowered the moral standards of his younger siblings.

Xiao Jiu, however, didn’t notice everyone’s reaction at all, and seemed to be immersed in his own world.

However, judging from his state, Li Tianming could also tell that Xiao Jiu had digested a lot of Divine Stones, and his movements were almost unrestricted.

If he had just eaten, such movements would have caused him to release a lot of dark energy.

And Xiao Jiu becoming stronger naturally meant that Li Tianming’s combat power after merging with him had increased, which was great news at the moment.

After resting for a while, Li Tianming let the companion beasts return to the companion space.

Jiang Feiling possessed Li Tianming, An Ning transformed into white armor, and Aurora and Sui Shenyao transformed into two golden and black earrings.

“It’s still early, let’s go to the Demon Nest first,” Li Tianming said.

To prepare the Entropy Source for Xiao Shi, improving his Heaven-Stealing ability was an unavoidable path.

He first returned to the Burning Spirit Realm via the Boundary Planet on Zi Zhen’s body, and then traveled to the Illusion Whale in the Demon Nest via the Fixed-Space Butterfly.

The entire process took only about fifteen minutes.

Upon arriving at the Illusion Whale, Li Tianming was greeted by a cabin filled with Primordial Demon Rays, all specially sent by the ancient demons within the Demon Nest.

In the very center of the main cabin, a black-haired girl with her eyes closed was completely immersed in cultivation.

Primordial Demon Rays surrounded her petite body, and under her refinement, these rays transformed into streams of black and red energy that converged around her, gradually condensing into Demon Honey.

Of course, during the refinement process, Lin Xiaoxiao’s own cultivation also improved.

Sensing the familiar aura suddenly appearing within the Illusion Whale, Lin Xiaoxiao opened her Blood Charm eyes.

“How did it go? What place did you get?” Lin Xiaoxiao asked, blinking at the newcomer.

“I guess I got the top score,” Li Tianming replied with a smile.

“Oh,” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded. “That’s not bad.”

She was calm, as if everything was perfectly natural, as if Li Tianming was obligated to crush everyone and take first place.

Since returning to the Illusion Whale, the fragrance of the Demon Queen’s Honey Flower had been lingering around Li Tianming’s nose.

This scent had a sweetness, yet also an inexplicable allure, making one want to explore it…

The two figures quickly overlapped, moving within the space filled with Primordial Demon Rays, consuming the Demon Honey that Lin Xiaoxiao had refined during this time.

Li Tianming’s Eye of Heaven Stealing was also gradually strengthening under the nourishment of the Demon Honey.

Although he hadn’t been able to truly increase the number of Heavenly Reincarnations of the Eye of Heaven Stealing, Li Tianming knew that this couldn’t be rushed; it could only be achieved through accumulation!

Just as the storm subsided and Li Tianming was resting with Lin Xiaoxiao, Yin Chen suddenly brought news.

“The Martial Immortal Group has arrived at the Ten Thousand Sects Battle Hall.”

“Where are they?” Li Tianming asked.

“About a quarter of an hour’s journey,” Yin Chen replied.

“That’s perfect.” Li Tianming stood up and said to Lin Xiaoxiao, who was still lying softly beside him, “Xiaoxiao, I’m leaving now. Someone has come looking for us.”

“Okay,” Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.

Immediately afterward, Li Tianming used the boundary planet from the Meow Meow Primordial Chaos Realm on Zi Zhen’s body to return to the Burning Spirit Realm, and then went to the Ten Thousand Sects Battle Hall via the Fixed Space Butterfly.

In fact, Li Tianming wasn’t too surprised by the Martial Immortal Group’s visit.

With his background and identity, he was perfectly suited to join the Martial Immortal North Corona Great Wall.

Of course, that was assuming Inspector Liu hadn’t extended an olive branch first; Li Tianming basically had no other ideas at the moment.

“As long as we talk things out, it should be fine. It’s their business to compete for talent, and it’s my freedom to choose whoever I want…”

Li Tianming thought it through clearly.

A quarter of an hour passed…

Li Tianming’s figure returned to the Myriad Sects Battle Hall, to the Heavenly Fate Hall in Hall No. 886.
