Beastmaster of the Ages

Through comprehending Eminent Jiguang’s totems, Tianming deeply felt that this wasn’t just a relationship of the suppressor and suppressed. Suppression occurred only during the fusion process, but once fused, it became mutual benefit. His young seeds frantically absorbed the nourishment from Eminent Jiguang, while her totems also unearthed parts she didn’t possess from his decapath era godswords.

”The sea can embrace countless rivers and be inclusive of all!” Within her totems, Tianming felt what seemed like an ocean, which was exactly what the decapath era godswords desperately needed. They were perfect complements!

The quality of his totems are actually this high? Though Eminent Jiguang didn’t say it out loud, throughout the entire cultivation process, her emotions surged with astonishment deep in her heart. She even realized that this was a rare opportunity for her as well so she fully immersed herself, even forgetting Suishen Yao as she slowly comprehended the decapath era godswords.

Time passed surprisingly fast. While Tianming was still eagerly absorbing, Suishen Yao impatiently knocked on the Soulblend Formation and loudly complained, ”Have you finished demonstrating yet? It’s been a month, and I only have nine left. Isn’t it my turn now?”

The remark reminded Eminent Jiguang that she was only demonstrating to help Tianming gain experience! Her face turned red and she guided Tianming to end the totem fusion, extricating her aurora nymphs from his decapath era godswords.

The Soulblend Formation expanded. After a month, it had finally grown from less than two meters back to its original ten-meter diameter.

Tianming’s eyes were closed as he was still immersed in the growth of his totems. Even after the fusion ended, he remained still, as he needed more time to absorb.

”This kid....” Eminent Jiguang’s beautiful eyes were filled with incredulous surprise. Although a month was short, she knew how much benefit her totems had received. Her gains were no less than his.

”Aunt, it’s my turn now,” Suishen Yao anxiously urged from the side.

”Mm....” Eminent Jiguang reluctantly sighed as she left the Soulblend Formation, looking back at Tianming several times.

”Shall we directly start? I only have nine months left!” The tighter the time, the more anxious Suishen Yao grew. Since Eminent Jiguang’s attempt had obviously succeeded, she was eager to break through.

”Start?” Eminent Jiguang hesitated as she glanced down and her face turned red again.

”Yaoyao, wait a moment, I need to change my clothes.” After saying that, she disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Suishen Yao puzzled.

She could only mutter, ”Why change clothes? Narcissist!”

After a while, Eminent Jiguang returned. Just as Suishen Yao was about to speak, she briskly said, ”Yaoyao, if you’re ready, we can start now.” She seemed to fear any other questions from the younger woman.

Fortunately, Suishen Yao hadn’t noticed anything unusual. She waved her hand and said, ”Aunt, he’s still immersed and hasn’t woken up yet.”

”Still immersed?”

Eminent Jiguang looked over and saw Tianming floating in the center of the Soulblend Formation. The flower vines had dissipated, freeing his decapath era godswords that were now filled with pink light to freely rotate around him. The pink starlight was the mark left by the aurora nymphs.

”Wait, this is....” Eminent Jiguang’s eyes slightly widened, sparkling with shock. She watched as the pink light was gradually absorbed by the swords. Each decapath era godsword formed ten layers of light projections around them, forming a ten-layered sword ki.

With the sword qi enveloping them, the attributes and nature of each decapath era godsword fundamentally changed. This process resembled the evolution of a lifebound beast, and the transformation and enhancement of each decapath era godsword’s inner attributes were clearly visible to both Eminent Jiguang and Suishen Yao.

”His simulacrum fold increased! It should be his twofold simulacrum!” Eminent Jiguang said with some delight.

Suishen Yao was dumbfounded. ”This kid’s luck is amazing. Just one month of bonding with you and he upgraded his simulacrum fold?”

”Totemic bonding, it was the totems that bonded.” This time it was Eminent Jiguang’s turn to correct her, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she spoke.

”Aunt, what does it mean that his simulacra increased with just one session?” Suishen Yao asked.

”It means several things. First, my Soulblend Formation is indeed effective. Second, my deep cultivation greatly nourished his totems. Third, it’s possible that his own totemic cultivation talent is actually very high! Previously, he just didn’t have an opportunity to improve. So, now that an opportunity came knocking, he’s naturally making rapid progress.” Eminent Jiguang gazed at the white-haired youth in the Soulblend Formation, her eyes more serious.

”His talent is high? If it was that high, why was he only at onefold simulacrum until now?” Suishen Yao pouted.

”He isn’t even a hundred years old, and that’s still very young,” Eminent Jiguang said with a laugh, but as she laughed, she bit her red lip, thinking, Though he’s young, he’s developed quite well.

”Compared to his beastmaster skills, it’s still quite lacking,” Suishen Yao habitually belittled Tianming. After seeing him excel in all areas, she found it hard to believe that now even his totem talent was seemingly on par with her.

”Yaoyao, his totems really aren’t bad. You’ll understand when you fuse with his totems later. My aurora nymphs couldn’t suppress his totems, but were instead suppressed.” Eminent Jiguang was filled with disbelief to be saying that.

”What! You were suppressed by him?” Suishen Yao was stunned.

”My totems! Not me!” Eminent Jiguang glared at her.

”Alright!” Suishen Yao pouted and continued, ”Aunt, do you think it’s a good thing?”

”Of course it is, silly.” Eminent Jiguang pulled Suishen Yao closer, whispering in her ear, ”The better his totems, the better their effect on you. During the fusion process, it doesn’t matter who suppresses whom. The important part is the mutual complement and benefits afterward.”

”But earlier, it was just you blessing him...” Suishen Yao softly replied.

Eminent Jiguang shook her head with a smile, her face radiant and satisfied. ”To be honest, in that short month, I gained many unprecedented experiences from his complex totems. I can only describe my progress as tremendous. Although my simulacrum fold is too high to immediately show the effects, honestly, it’ll lay the foundation for my future breakthroughs and adding another simulacrum fold.”
