Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7884

Chapter 7800: A Hero’s Origins Don’t Matter

The matter of going to the Great Wall at the Northern Crown of the Martial Immortal can be considered settled.

After Li Tianming bid farewell to Li Qingyu and Ye Lingfeng, the Northern Phoenix Sword Immortal ended the communication.

Having just calmed down from the excitement of the reunion, Li Tianming was in a good mood.

The Ancient Martial Immortal, standing beside him, smiled and subtly probed, “You little rascal, daring to ask for such exorbitant benefits from us, you must have asked for quite a lot when negotiating with Inspector Liu, right?”

“Ancient Martial Immortal, let’s put aside the benefits for now. If I had chosen to go with Inspector Liu, I’m afraid I would regret it for the rest of my life. Moreover, because of her and Inspector Han, I almost died.” Li Tianming said somewhat vexed.

“How so?” The Ancient Martial Immortal asked even more curiously.

“It has to be two things. First, Inspector Liu wants me to abandon my wife, completely sever ties, and follow her alone.” Li Tianming said.

“What kind of logic is that? Why would she make such a request?” The Ancient Martial Immortal found it incomprehensible.

“Because most of my wives have suffered tragic fates, some even from ruined families, with no clear lineage to trace. Therefore, Inspector Liu used their unclear identities as an excuse to force me to sever ties before he would recruit me,” Li Tianming honestly stated.

This was all said by Inspector Liu himself, and Li Tianming hadn’t lied; he had a clear conscience.

“I see. While it’s a bit cold-hearted, it certainly fits their style,” Gu Wuxian nodded slightly, then asked, “So, tell me, why did you almost die?”

“…”

Li Tianming then recounted the two assassination attempts and how the two groups framed each other.

“So, you suspect that these two groups were sent by Inspectors Han and Liu?” Gu Wuxian asked in surprise.

“There’s no absolute evidence, but it’s pretty close,” Li Tianming sighed slightly. “Inspector Liu probably guessed I wouldn’t abandon my wife, but she didn’t want to let me go either, so she orchestrated this assassination. As long as she concealed the truth, I would become even more reliant on her as my new backer because I’d lost mine. At the same time, she wanted to frame Inspector Han, who already disliked me, as well as the Chaotic Demon Emperor and his group. But she probably didn’t expect that Inspector Han and his group would also target me, resulting in a clumsy attempt that exposed their identities.”

“You guys are… really hard to kill! The people sent by these two forces didn’t even affect you in two attacks,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said in shock after a long silence.

Li Tianming’s ability to survive was truly astonishing, but the Ancient Martial Immortal didn’t ask any further questions, as this was Li Tianming’s secret.

“That’s no longer important. What’s important is that neither of those inspectors had any good intentions towards me. Inspector Han probably wants me dead, and Inspector Liu just wants a puppet that can grow stronger. That’s all,” Li Tianming said, somewhat speechless.

“Our people wouldn’t be so shameless. We despise such underhanded tactics. You can rest assured that you’ll be safe at our Martial Immortal North Crown Great Wall. Besides, you don’t need to sever your ties,” Gu Wuxian said with a smile.

“Then, may I bring my wife to the Martial Immortal North Crown Great Wall?” Li Tianming asked, raising his eyes.

“Don’t worry about that. Just bring them all. We don’t lack your living space,” Gu Wuxian laughed heartily, saying magnanimously. “Our biggest principle here is that heroes don’t ask about origins. No matter how many people you bring, as long as they can serve the Martial Immortal North Crown Great Wall, it’s fine. Judging from the fact that they were able to protect you during the two assassination attempts, I think they’re not just idle people.”

It seemed that he thought Li Tianming relied entirely on Wei Sheng Mo Ran and Jiang Fei Ling.

But in reality, Li Tianming’s companion beast brothers, An Ning Sui Shen Yao, and all the people and beasts around him were his greatest source of confidence.

“In that case, thank you very much,” Li Tianming said, cupping his hands in thanks.

“Since it’s decided, we can set off for the Great Wall of the North Crown of the Martial Immortal at any time. Is there anything else you need to prepare?” the Ancient Martial Immortal asked again.

“Nothing else, but I need to take a few people with me. I’ll have to trouble the Ancient Martial Immortal to wait for me

a while,” Li Tianming said slowly. “Do you need me to accompany you? After all, the others are still eyeing you covetously,” the Ancient Martial Immortal raised an eyebrow.

“No need. I suppose they failed in their attempt to alert you once, and they’ll be more obedient for a while,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.

“Alright, then hurry up,” the Ancient Martial Immortal said.

In reality, Li Tianming was going to the Demon Nest to take Lin Xiaoxiao away, and the secret of the Demon Nest must not be exposed, so of course he couldn’t let the Ancient Martial Immortal accompany him.

However, just as Li Tianming was about to set off—

“Wait!”

Gu Wuxian called out to Li Tianming again, stopping him.

“Gu Wuxian, is there anything else you need to say?” Li Tianming turned around, somewhat surprised.

Gu Wuxian’s eyes flickered, and he said, “Tianming, tell me honestly, is the upheaval in the Myriad Realms related to you?”

The upheaval in the Myriad Realms refers to the entire incident that occurred at the Myriad Realms Divine Treasure Mine.

Li Tianming turned his head, looking completely bewildered, and said, “The upheaval in the Myriad Realms… If it weren’t for the discussions within the Beacon Ruins, I really wouldn’t know what you’re talking about, Gu Wuxian. It seems like something happened to the Myriad Realms Eternal Empire? I know absolutely nothing about that, after all, I’ve been in the Beacon Ruins the whole time, and although my wife managed to save my life during the assassination attempt, she doesn’t have the heaven-defying combat power to wreak havoc on the Myriad Realms Divine Treasure Army.”

This statement was reasonable and almost flawless.

Most importantly, there were too many witnesses to Li Tianming staying near the Beacon Ruins, taking his wife sightseeing.

Ordinary people, Qianfeng’s soldiers, even the Qianfeng Heavenly Emperor, etc…

Gu Wuxian’s gaze was deep, then he nodded and said, “Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t mention it again.”

At this moment of mutual joy, he didn’t want to leave a thorn in Li Tianming’s side.

Moreover, he had indeed conducted some investigation, only knowing that Li Tianming was a suspect in the motive, but the evidence didn’t match up at all.

Now, his doubts were basically eliminated.

Li Tianming then left the Myriad Sects Battle Hall and set off directly to pick up the people.

However, he didn’t use the Giant Source Bridge, but went to a secluded corner of the Son of Fengxu.

Now, those around Li Tianming, including Jiang Feiling, An Ning, Sui Shenyao, and Aurora, could travel with his boundary planet, so he could bring them along.

In this way, if they encountered a sudden battle, Li Tianming would have more help, and even if they encountered danger, he could escape with everyone using the void cosmic stars and boundary planet.

Through the planet from Miaomiao’s realm on Zizhen’s forehead, Li Tianming returned to the Burning Spirit Realm.

“Our top scholar has finally decided to come back?” Zizhen, who wasn’t cultivating, teased him upon seeing him.

“Let’s not talk about these things for now. We need to prepare to set off for the Great Wall of the Martial Immortal North Crown,” Li Tianming said directly.

“So soon? That old man agreed?” Zizhen asked, somewhat surprised.

“That Ancient Martial Immortal should be considered the matchmaker, right? We’re not going to his subordinates, but to someone else called the Northern Phoenix Sword Immortal,” Li Tianming chuckled.

Those not directly around Li Tianming were generally aware of recent events, thanks to Yin Chen.

However, Yin Chen hadn’t had a chance to relay the details yet.

After Li Tianming gave a brief explanation, Zi Zhen was even more surprised.

“Your sister, your brother, they’re already there?”

Chapter 7801 The Transfer of the Fixed-Sky Butterfly.

“Yes, we should prepare to leave soon too. Meeting up with them is the most important thing.” Li Tianming nodded, then suddenly realized what he meant and glared at the other man, saying, “Why are you swearing?”

“What did you say?” Zi Zhen looked completely innocent.

“Fine, I’m in a good mood, I won’t argue with you.” Li Tianming rolled his eyes.

“What about here? Your and Ling’er’s child is still here,” Zi Zhen added.

“Xiaoyu has already headed back. She will guard the Burning Spirit Realm. Now that her strength has increased dramatically, she is the most suitable person among us to stay behind. Moreover, her cultivation system is special, so she doesn’t necessarily have to go out. There are still many affiliated countries in the inner region, mainly composed of Illusion God cultivators, who are unhappy with us. These are all materials for her cultivation. There’s no need to send her out yet,” Li Tianming said seriously.

Of course, most importantly, Wei Shengmo Ran still has a World Planet on her.

Li Tianming can take Jiang Feiling back and forth between the two places at any time, which is the key.

“Alright, in that case, we can be at ease with her here. Moreover, there is the Sky-Fixing Butterfly connecting the Heavenly Emperor Sect and the Divine Treasury Star System. She can support various places at any time. If something happens in other places, she can even send an avatar to support them at the same time. Currently, apart from strength, this is something I can’t compare to,” Zi Zhen said frankly.

Although the two usually don’t get along, they actually have a certain mutual respect at times.

So, after explaining things clearly, Li Tianming set off again with Zi Zhen.

On the way, Li Tianming also recalled the Sky-Fixing Butterfly he had arranged earlier in his mind.

“Currently, there are six Sky-Stabilizing Butterflies in total.”

“These six Sky-Stabilizing Butterflies form a super passage for me to travel to various places. However, Ling’er said that it will be difficult to obtain new Sky-Stabilizing Butterflies, so we must use them sparingly.”

“Among them, the Heavenly Emperor Sect is very important as the central location, while the Demon Nest is next to the Li Clan Star System, not far away. Choosing one of them would allow me to take the one from the Illusion Whale. Within the Qianfeng Eternal Empire, there are two Sky-Stabilizing Butterflies: one in the Beacon Ruins and one in the Tianzang Province. Choosing one, keeping the one in the Tianzang Province is sufficient. The one placed by the Myriad Realms Eternal Empire was already taken when Xiaoyu was sent away. Finally, there’s the one in the Governor’s Mansion of the Little Divine Treasure Star System. The Divine Treasure Star System is special; there’s no Line Source Plane, so we need to keep one for convenient travel…”

In other words, Li Tianming can take three Sky-Stabilizing Butterflies in total: the Demon Nest, the Beacon Ruins, and the Myriad Realms Ruins.

Li Tianming took the Sky-Stabilizing Butterfly from the Myriad Realms Ruins, and this time he’s here to take the one from the Demon Nest.

He took Zi Zhen with him and, using the Sky-Fixing Butterfly, directly arrived at the Phantom Whale within the Demon Nest, which only took a quarter of an hour.

After seeing Lin Xiaoxiao, Li Tianming didn’t explain much; Yin Chen had already said almost everything.

“I understand, let’s go.” Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Li Tianming with her blood-red eyes.

“Okay!” Li Tianming nodded.

After taking away the second controllable Sky-Fixing Butterfly, Li Tianming directly entered the state of being imbued with Jiang Feiling’s spirit and fused with Xiao Jiu.

In the real universe, an incredibly huge giant, composed of dark energy and the power of the eternal world, appeared.

Then, in this state, Li Tianming directly lifted the ‘Phantom Whale’!

Black lightning flashed, and with the power of Xiao Jiu and Jiang Feiling enhanced, Li Tianming used the divine power from Miao Miao.

Crack!

Thousand Thunderbolts!

The Phantom Whale was merely a small light-year-level cosmic starship, while Li Tianming’s combat power was now comparable to opponents tens of thousands of light-years away. Although the power and speed of a cosmic starship and a cultivator of the same level were far inferior, Li Tianming’s speed was still much faster given the vast difference!

Along the way, this terrifying figure terrified all the ancient demons!

If it weren’t for the Nest Ancestor’s prior instructions, the entire Demon Nest would likely have been thrown into chaos!

Watching Li Tianming’s departing figure, the Nest Ancestor’s enormous eyes were filled with deep shock.

It was fortunate that it hadn’t fought Li Tianming to the death!

Otherwise, the entire Demon Nest might have ceased to exist!

…

Reaching the edge of the Demon Nest, Li Tianming put away the Phantom Whale and re-entered the Avalokitesvara Realm, entering the Phantom Whale again. Inside

the Phantom Whale, he raised his hands, actually using the entire cosmic starship as leverage to increase his speed once more!

In his current state, he could easily move at high speed by simply taking Zi Zhen and Lin Xiaoxiao with him, but there was a void river outside the Demon Nest!

This void river offered no replenishment of power, and lacked any special objects like cosmic starships. Even with Li Tianming’s strength, it was best to avoid crossing it physically for safety.

“Last time, the Illusion Whale took ten years to cross here. This time, I’m using my own speed to carry the Illusion Whale, and it’s tens of thousands of times faster,” Li Tianming said slowly.

Crossing the void river would be much easier for Li Tianming, since the Heavenly Emperor Sect was now mostly composed of his own people, including the Demon Extinction Army.

Given Li Tianming’s current status as the top scholar, even if the Demon Extinction Army hadn’t yet become subjects of the Heavenly Fate Universe Dynasty, if they suddenly saw him on the city wall, they would probably assume he had ventured deep into the Demon Nest to fight and contribute to the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Through the Line Source Plank Road on the Heavenly Emperor Great Wall, Li Tianming could directly reach the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

Therefore, even if he needed to enter the Demon Nest again in the future, Li Tianming could return in a short time.

Li Tianming was accompanied by Jiang Feiling and others who could attach themselves to him, along with Zi Zhen and Lin Xiaoxiao.

After returning to the Burning Spirit Realm, they used the Sky-Fixing Butterfly again to reach the Myriad Sects Battle Hall.

They conveniently took the third Sky-Fixing Butterfly they were going to take with them.

“Let’s go.”

Among them, An Ning, Aurora, and Sui Shenyao barely showed themselves and continued to remain hidden.

Wei Sheng Mo Ran remained in the Burning Spirit Realm, while Li Tianming’s wife Jiang Feiling, who had appeared in the Beacon Ruins, appeared to accompany him.

In addition, he was accompanied by two more people than before: Lin Xiaoxiao and Zi Zhen.

One was black-haired and blood-red-eyed, with nine layers in each eye, a total of eighteen layers of Primordial Demonic Eyes!

Of course, this was in a concealed state, otherwise it would be terrifying.

The other was a little loli with purple hair and purple eyes, who looked harmless.

Neither of them was particularly large, but one possessed the body of an ancient demon, and the other a special body among the Purple Blood Clan’s ghost gods—both incredibly unique and terrifying!

Soon, the group arrived inside the Myriad Sects Battle Hall, before the waiting Ancient Martial Immortal.

The Ancient Martial Immortal was slightly surprised to see two unexpected women before him.

Before he could ask, Li Tianming touched his nose and said, “These are my wives.”

The Ancient Martial Immortal was slightly taken aback, then couldn’t help but laugh and scold, “You little rascal, you’re quite the ladies’ man, so many wives! But it’s alright, I keep my word, I’ll take them all!”

“Thank you, Ancient Martial Immortal,” Li Tianming said, bowing.

At this moment, they finally prepared to depart!
