Beastmaster of the Ages

Countless wings flew past Ji Lingxian. Hypnotized by the beautiful scene, she couldn’t extricate herself. ”Will the Kunlan Realm fulfill my wish?” Her eyes were filled with obsession. With the passage of time, terrestrialwings were born. This time, there were more terrestrialwings than ever before, which suggested the possibility of the birth of celestialwings. At that moment, the entrance to the Kunlan Realm turned blue. The entire lake resembled gorgeous blue ice crystals that seemed to dance. It was as if hundreds of millions of sapphires were rolling around a plate.

”Celestialwings!” they all screamed. In the midst of the excitement, the blue lake condensed into a pair of shimmering blue wings that were composed of sapphires, like a bright and magnificent array of precious gems. Even if a small piece were removed, it could be worn as a necklace. These wings could conquer the entire cosmos with its beauty alone; they were the most gorgeous wings the primalwingers had ever seen in their lives.

“Sapphire Skywings!”

The crowd exploded in shock. They were definitely the most beautiful celestialwings in all of history, and according to the legends, only the most exquisite primalwinger could inherit them.

Tears welled up in Ji Lingxian’s eyes. “How beautiful.…” She was standing closest to the wings. The cause of her tears wasn’t excitement, but sadness. If those wings hadn’t been born, she wouldn’t have felt such a strong sense of loss. It was heartbreaking to have laid eyes on the thing she most longed for, yet know she was destined not to have it. Even if she was recognized as a beauty, Ji Lingxian knew that she couldn’t match that gorgeous blue and the glow of the swirling sapphires.

”Who in the world can match their beauty? Who’s worthy enough? Who’ll merge with them?” Tears streamed down her cheeks.

The primalwingers blankly stared as the wings flapped and moved across the sky, leaving a silvery clink that resembled a wind chime. Dazzling blue reflected in the eyes of every primalwinger. There was no doubt that these wings were more coveted than the Flashsoul Skywings that gave one agility and speed, as the Sapphire Skywings were top-grade attack type wings. According to historical records, they were steely and believed to be as hard as a grade-nine divine artifact once they matured. For the pirmalwingers, possessing the Sapphire Skywings was equivalent to being a nonabane.

The wings flew up, looking for a master. Who’ll it be? Who’ll soar to the top? Speechless with excitement, they all wondered the same thing. Their eyes darted around, trying to locate the lucky owner of the wings.

”Ji Lingxian! Only she is worthy!”

Collectively holding their breath, the crowd turned and stared at her. Most of them immediately recalled her failure to obtain the Flashsoul Skywings and the stunning primalwinger who had appeared for the first time. Those who had laid eyes on her couldn’t forget her, even if they wanted to. At the thought of that, their hearts skipped a beat and they helplessly watched as the pair of gorgeous wings flew past Ji Lingxian, who was ruthlessly eliminated. She bitterly wept.

”If she’s not worthy of them, who else could they belong to?” They looked at one another in dismay. Like a butterfly, the wings ascended into the sky, nimbly avoiding many primalwingers.

”Who’s it looking for?” Since Ji Lingxian had failed, many wondered if they might be the lucky one. But soon, the blue wings fluttered past the crowd, continuing to accelerate toward the eye of the storm and soaring up.

”How can it be?” They had never seen something like this happen. The wings born in the Kunlan Realm couldn’t possibly leave Primary, but at that moment, one had disappeared before everyone’s eyes.

”Follow them!” The primalwingers scrambled to chase after the blue wings, their eyes filled with madness. However, Ji Lingxian wasn’t part of the crowd. All she felt was heartache; she had given up, because she understood that they didn’t belong to her. Chasing after them would be useless.

”They’ve gone to look for someone who’s a perfect fit,” an elderly voice sounded in Ji Lingxian’s ear. She looked up and saw an old thin man standing in front of her. With a kind smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and helped her up.

”Grandfather….” Ji Lingxian curled up in his arms, bitterly sobbing.

”Don’t cry. If it’s not meant for you, it’ll only bring you trouble,” said the old man.

After a while, Ji Lingxian looked up. Most of the primalwingers had already left. ”Where will the wings go?” she asked.

”The Violetglory Star.”

”Are there primalwingers there?” Ji Lingxian asked.

”There’s only one,” the old man replied.

”Oh.” Ji Lingxian remembered. Sure enough, it still belonged to her.

......

”Fuck!!”

The moment Tianming left the wondersky realm, an ice crystal came crashing down. Fortunately, he dodged in time or he would have lost his little guy.

”What the hell?” Just as the words left his lips, the entire hall was turned upside down. In the smoke and dust, the two blue lights above his head were extremely dazzling. Upon closer inspection, Tianming realized it was a pair of wings.

”That’s so cool!” He clearly saw the neatly arranged sapphires. In that instant, the wings descended and appeared in front of him. Tianming could never have imagined that it had only taken them three days to fly from Primary. Three meters away from him, a woman slowly rose to her feet, her smooth skin appearing lustrous under the blue glow. Against the blue light, she appeared majestic and ethereal. She was none other than Feiling! But at that moment, she was a stranger to Tianming because her eyes were the same blue as the wings. She was beautiful, but devoid of the warmth she had shown a few days ago. Although Tianming had expected it, he hadn’t foreseen the arrival of the wings.

At that moment, she spread the wings on her back. After fusing with the Flashsoul Skywings, the three pairs of wings now had white thunderbolts imprinted on their feathers, which made her look fast and violent. When the blue wings merged with the other three, they all transformed into Sapphire Skywings. Eyes glowing blue, she rose into the air like a god of ancient times, the three sets of wings behind her brilliantly shining. Just looking at her made Tianming heat up.

“Boy! Do you have any last words before I kill you?!” Her voice was icy cold. Countless sapphires floated out from her wings and a three-meter-long crystal spear appeared in her hand, which she pointed at Tianming.

”Yes I do!” Tianming raised his hand.

”Speak!” she said.

”Can you spread your wings next time we’re being naughty...?”
