Beastmaster of the Ages

Qitian Muyue saw the metal butterflies in her hand open their mouths.

”We are....”

”All equally....”

”Main bodies....”

The revelation rendered her completely speechless.

”Do you understand now? This is what the strongest lifebound beast really looks like. Your myriadpath sourcebeasts just look cute in comparison,” Tianming gloated.

”Hundreds of millions of bodies, all real and equal, spread all over Myriadpath Valley? It’s no wonder you’ve always been able to turn bad situations around in your favor!”

Even though Qitian Muyue had gone down without even a fight, the fact that she had even reached that point had definitely been guided to some degree by Tianming’s incomprehensible capabilities. Yin Chen, for instance, was already completely far out of her imagination.

The Suishen sisters reacted just the same. Didn’t that mean that there were no secrets in the eyes of that youth? That said, they had been shocked so many times that they were growing numb to it. All they could do was smile in resignation.

”From now on, every single word you say, every move you make, even the slightest change in your expression won’t escape my eyes. I’m monitoring you at all times, so don’t play silly games. I can end you at any moment, got it?” Tianming threatened. He drew a clear separation between his seniors and his pet, even though all three were among the strongest beauties alive.

”Yes, Master.” She deeply bowed, closing her eyes as she resigned herself to her new fate.

Meanwhile, the two phoenixes were messing around, though it mostly boiled down to Ying Huo bullying Qing Huang. The mighty ninesource beast sobbed and begged for mercy like a pitiful whelp.

”Aren’t you going to fight back? Do you want a taste of my sword?!” Ying Huo snapped.

”Chicken Bro, girls don’t like boys who’re that insistent, you know,” Xian Xian said.

”Nonsense! I have a big harem! Who cares about a girlfriend?” Ying Huo didn’t seem to mind in the slightest.

As the beasts continued messing around, Tianming went to talk to his seniors and introduced them to Suishen Jiguang and Suishen Xiyue.

Dongshen Yue was smiling so wide that she could scarcely close her mouth. She pulled Tianming aside and happily looked at the two goddesses. ”My dear great grandson, these two look great! Look at those fertile, child-bearing hips! You have to sow those fields as soon as possible!”

Tianming awkwardly said, ”Grandma! Eminent Xiyue’s the mother of my wife-in-name in Myriadpath Valley. The other one’s my wife’s aunt.”

”So that’s your mother-in-law, eh? Then it won’t do.” Dongshen Yue turned to Suishen Jiguang and clapped her hands. ”This one’s great. She has such a good temperament and seems so polite. So what if she’s your wife’s aunt? Her age only means that she’ll be taking care of you well.

”The ebons were completely fine marrying their parents or siblings, so what’s wrong with you getting with your wife’s aunt? You aren’t even related! Grandma here’s waited for so many years, but you haven’t given me a great grandson to spoil.”

Tianming chuckled but didn’t dare to say that he’d had his fill of Suishen Jiguang already... for ten whole years....

”Also, Little Fish has been missing you a lot! Don’t neglect her!” Dongshen Yue added. From the very beginning, she had set her mind that Tianming wouldn’t have just one wife. Even in the Swordgod Lin Clan, he already had two concubines, one of whom was Moran, who spent the most time with Dongshen Yue. She just couldn’t bear to see the poor girl spending all that time alone and sad.

”Little Fish....” Tianming turned and looked at the Sky Palace Formation. A girl in the crowd with ink-black hair, a tall, graceful figure, and fair, dainty skin quietly looked at him without scrambling toward him, simply longingly waiting. Tianming decided to spend some time alone with her before he returned to Myriadpath Valley.

”Before I go back to Myriadpath Valley, I’ll see if I can kill a few of the strongest enemies that get lured here. If I don’t have a chance, I’ll pilot a fortuna-class astralship back here and bring you there to cultivate,” he said, looking deep into her eyes.

”Okay.” Moran smiled and gently looked at him.

”You still remember the springwater I brought back, right? I also have baleflame, and it works in a similar way. I have as much as you can possibly need. Even if your constitution is relatively normal, it’s fine. I’ll feed you until you become as good as the geniuses in Myriadpath Valley.”

”Sounds good.” She nodded.

”And when I take over Myriadpath Valley, I’ll turn to the wonderians and see what they’re up to. Maybe I’ll have a chance to get you a fortuna-class divine wonder!”

”Mhm.” She continued nodding.

”The Myriadpath Celestial Formation’s really important to me. There’s nothing more convenient than using it to go to the Xenoabyss. I need to take it and ensure that Infinitum wouldn’t be disturbed before I can rest assured to go to the Xenoabyss to search for my sixth lifebound beast, Qingyu, and Lingfeng,” Tianming explained. He wanted her to know that he wasn’t just messing around, but operating with clear goals in mind.

”Nice.” She nodded once more, holding her hands at her chest.

”Then... I have to go now.” He kept his eye on her expression.

”Okay.” Even though she nodded, her eyes reddened.

”What’s wrong?”

She looked down for a good while before she shakily said, ”I’m too weak. I feel like the distance between us is widening more and more. I’m not of any use to you at all.”

Tianming felt his heart fall. He knew that he had neglected her quite a bit and left her at home alone with nobody else to talk to. ”Don’t say that—”

”I’m lacking....”

”No.” He held her hand up before his eyes. ”I want you to forget about whether or not you’re useful to me. The debt you think you still owe me has long been repaid in my mind. I’m not someone who ditches people just because I’ve risen to greater heights. The only reason I keep climbing is to protect those I care about, whether they’re of use to me or not. I will find a way to extend your lifespan no matter what. As long as you don’t want to leave me, I won’t abandon you!”

”Really?” She seemed incredibly unsure.

”Be a good girl and wait until I take over Myriadpath Valley.” That was Tianming’s current goal.

”Okay....” Even though tears still welled up in her eyes, she was wearing a natural, refreshing smile.

Tianming would never abandon anyone just because he had become stronger. His grandparents from the Vermillion Bird Kingdom were still around, let alone the others! Mu Wan, Bai Zijin, Xuanyuan Muxue, and even Gan Gangan too! Tianming was going to bring back the Blissful Union to bless them all!

So what if they weren’t geniuses? He would make them just as powerful. At the end of the day, so-called geniuses were merely the product of countless generations of the careful honing of bloodlines. Tianming would achieve that singlehandedly.

He saw Li Fan after bidding Moran goodbye.

”Friend, are you going back to Myriadpath Valley?” Tianming asked as he removed the Imperial Sword Prison he had used on him long ago.

”Not anymore. I’m liking my carefree time here,” Li Fan gleefully said. ”Aren’t you worried about your cultivation slowing down?”

”Why would I worry as long as you’re around?” Li Fan said. He’d been one of the top geniuses that had rivaled Tianming back in the day, but now they were just normal friends.
