Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7839
Chapter 7755: I Want an Entropy Source
The Dao array within the main hall suddenly lit up, indicating that someone was already at the gates of the Heavenly Mandate Hall.
After Yin Chen confirmed that there were no problems, Li Tianming opened the Dao array to allow the newcomer to enter.
First, four figures shrouded in starlight walked in.
The newcomers were none other than the four members of the Martial Immortal Group who had briefly disappeared from Li Tianming’s sight.
The tall and slender Wu Huan, the tall and graceful Wu Zhi, the imposing Han Xuan, and the petite Mu Xilan…
Although he couldn’t see their true appearances, Li Tianming could roughly make them out.
“Li Tianming, it’s been a long time,” Wu Huan said with a smile.
“I didn’t expect you to win the top scholar title. We had to leave temporarily at the time and couldn’t congratulate you in person. We are truly ashamed,” Han Xuan said with a warm smile.
“Brother Xuan, you flatter me. Official duties are certainly more important,” Li Tianming said with a smile.
At this moment, Li Tianming glanced out of the corner of his eye, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.
He was shocked to discover that there were not four people before him, but five!
Behind Wu Huan and the other three, there was another figure.
This figure was also shrouded in starlight, making it impossible to see its appearance clearly.
However, in the hazy mist, Li Tianming felt inexplicably that he had seen this figure somewhere before.
“Young friend, do you recognize me?” a voice came from the figure in the starlight.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianming’s pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in shock, “An ancient martial arts immortal?”
The last figure shrouded in starlight slowly revealed itself, and the starlight slowly dissipated from its head to its feet.
First, a head of pale white hair and a pair of sharp, wind-like eyes were revealed.
Next, there was a straight back like a pine tree, and although it was old, its physique did not show any signs of aging.
The black and white robe was surrounded by countless sword-shaped phantoms, and under everyone’s gaze, these sword-shaped phantoms slowly adhered to its body and finally imprinted on the black and white robe.
Seeing Li Tianming’s reaction, the Ancient Martial Immortal chuckled and said, “What, you’re not welcoming me?”
“No, it’s just a little strange. What brings you here specifically to see me?” Li Tianming asked honestly.
“I want to recruit you and have you join the Martial Immortal Northern Crown Great Wall,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said bluntly, as if it were a trivial matter.
“Is that all? Isn’t there something more important?” Li Tianming was even more puzzled.
“That’s right,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said.
“Then I’m truly flattered. You actually came to my door in person. I thought we’d have to come to you personally, like when meeting the great figures of the Republic of Gods,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.
“I don’t have so many rules here. I can come if I want, and if I don’t want to, I can send you a message and come find me myself,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said casually.
Li Tianming hesitated slightly before saying, “It is my honor to be favored by the Ancient Martial Immortal, but…”
“I know everything,” the Ancient Martial Immortal interrupted, stroking his beard, “Inspector Liu should have already met you, and offered you some pretty good conditions, such as… a spot as a student of the Heavenly Strategy Academy?”
“You guessed it?” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.
“It’s not hard to guess. Among these three, including myself, the best conditions that each of our powers can promise are limited. I can count them on one hand,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said calmly. “Ancient Martial Immortal
, you should also know that His Majesty Qianfeng has done me some favors, and with Lord Liu making the initial offer, I cannot betray them,” Li Tianming’s eyes flickered slightly.
“Don’t rush to refuse. Let’s have a heart-to-heart talk today. Whether it works out or not, let nature take its course,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said with a hearty laugh. “
Please do as you wish,” Li Tianming said.
From the other party’s perspective, such an important figure had condescended to come to Li Tianming’s home, so Li Tianming had nothing to say; the respect due had to be given.
Moreover, this Ancient Martial Immortal wasn’t arrogant at all; on the contrary, he seemed quite approachable towards Li Tianming.
During their conversation, Wu Huan and the others dared not interrupt.
However, when Li Tianming expressed no interest in the Ancient Martial Immortal’s recruitment, Wu Zhi’s expression clearly changed.
The Ancient Martial Immortal then looked into Li Tianming’s eyes and said gently,
“She offered you a spot as a student of the Heavenly Strategy Academy? The Great Wall of the Northern Crown of Martial Immortals doesn’t have such conditions to promise you.”
“However… we don’t have as many rules as the Republic of the Divine Heaven. It’s a place truly suitable for geniuses without backgrounds to rise. Everything depends on strength and merit; no one cares about background, as long as you fight for humanity.”
“Of course, I won’t make you give up your spot as a student of the Heavenly Strategy Academy to come here as a lowly soldier and fight your way to the Great Wall of the Northern Crown of Martial Immortals. I will definitely give you conditions no worse than others.” “What
will the Great Wall of the Northern Crown of Martial Immortals offer?” Li Tianming asked directly.
“What do you want?” Gu Wuxian looked at Li Tianming and said frankly, “I don’t set any conditions. You can make your own requests. On behalf of the Great Wall of the Northern Crown of Martial Immortals, I will try my best to meet your requirements.”
Upon hearing this, Li Tianming was somewhat surprised, and Wu Huan and the other members of the Martial Immortal group were also shocked.
“I didn’t expect Gu Wuxian to offer such conditions. It seems he really wants to take this kid away…” Han Xuan said in surprise.
“With such sincerity, if it were me, I would agree immediately.” Mu Xilan also said.
However, after his surprise, Li Tianming fell into deep thought.
He knew very well that he didn’t know what he lacked or what requests he should make.
He knew that he would most likely still choose the Republic of the Divine Heaven and travel with Inspector Liu.
The Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect had been favored by Emperor Qianfeng, who almost regarded Li Tianming as one of his own. This was a favor, and Li Tianming, through Emperor Qianfeng’s introduction, ultimately went in the direction of Inspector Liu. It would be difficult for him to betray Inspector Liu.
Silence reigned as he pondered.
The Ancient Martial Immortal didn’t urge Li Tianming, and Wu Huan and the others waited silently.
Finally, Li Tianming suddenly raised his eyes and said, “I do have a condition, but you most likely won’t accept it.”
“Speak freely. If it’s truly impossible, I won’t force you,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said slowly, stroking his beard.
“Entropy Source, I want an Entropy Source,” Li Tianming said directly.
“What?” Even Wu Huan was instantly stunned.
“Are you crazy?” Han Xuan exclaimed in shock.
“It seems he genuinely doesn’t want to choose the Great Wall of the Northern Crown of the Martial Immortal. He’s making such an outrageous demand; how can we possibly agree to that?” Mu Xilan sighed, rubbing her forehead.
“Heh!” Wu Zhi sneered inwardly.
The ancient martial immortal paused in his beard-stroking motion, his gaze sharpening as he looked at Li Tianming. “You want this? No, how do you know there’s an unclaimed entropy source at the Great Wall of the North Crown?”
Li Tianming blinked and said, “Such a large place, it must have one, right? I guessed.”
The ancient martial immortal withdrew his gaze and remained silent for a long time.
However, the more silent he was, the more shocked Wu Huan and the others became.
The ancient martial immortal hadn’t flatly refused!
Not refusing meant there was hope; he was genuinely considering the possibility!
This time, even the members of the martial immortal group, including Wu Zhi, were somewhat shocked.
“What kind of magic does Li Tianming possess…? Even the previous champions probably didn’t receive this treatment, right?” Mu Xilan was somewhat numb.
After a long silence, the ancient martial immortal seemed to have made up his mind, looking at Li Tianming and saying, “I can ask about your request and give you an answer in a few days.”
Boom—!!!
This sentence was like a thunderclap in the brains and hearts of everyone present, making their ears ring.
“This…” Mu Xilan was speechless with shock.
“Although this kid suits my taste and has strong potential, he shouldn’t be this heaven-defying, right?” Han Xuan trembled with astonishment.
Wu Huan and Wu Zhi remained silent.
Upon receiving this response, Li Tianming was also stunned by the shock.
The Entropy Source is the foundation of a third-level star system member country, and also the core of a third-level star system. Its value is almost immeasurable!
The Entropy Sources of each third-level star system member country are not owned by the Heavenly Emperor; they can only be said to be kept and have certain usage rights.
And judging from the Ancient Martial Immortal’s performance, it seems that there is a real possibility that such a thing might be given to Li Tianming!
This value is far higher than that of a student of the Heavenly Strategy Academy, whose status is almost equal to that of the Heavenly Emperor of the Inner Frontier…
After saying these words that could shock everyone in the entire Inner and Outer Frontier, the Ancient Martial Immortal only left one more sentence for Li Tianming before leaving.
“In the competition for talent, the capable come first. Whoever can afford it gets the person…”
The ancient martial arts immortal’s voice still lingered in the Heavenly Mandate Hall, but he had already left with the Martial Immortal Group.
Li Tianming was slightly bewildered.
He hadn’t expected that this condition, intended to discourage people, was actually being considered by the other party.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone, may the flowers bloom and the moon be full. Please vote, all kinds of votes.
