Beastmaster of the Ages

Before refining the order fragment, Tianming asked Yin Chen, ”Are there currently any people in all the monitoring areas who might harm me?”

”Yes,” Yin Chen replied.

”What?”

”The reward... is slowly... spreading. Many... bad people... are looking... for you,” Yin Chen said.

Well, that made sense! Three hundred million soulstones was quite a lot. After word of the reward had spread during the blackout period, the entire Ninth District was discussing a young man with white hair and gold and black eyes.

”What about nearby?” Tianming followed up.

”No one,” Yin Chen straightforwardly said.

”Then there shouldn’t be a problem.” Tianming felt a bit more at ease. He waved to the vigilant Zi Zhen. When she came over, he said, ”I’ll absorb the order fragment first. If I successfully break through to the ninth astral phase, there should be an opportunity for my caelum to ascend to the Sea of Order. At that time, Yin Chen’s caelum will also go up with me. During that period, its monitoring will temporarily disappear, so you’ll need to be more vigilant.”

Although the location they had found was concealed quite well, he still gave her some extra reminders. In reality, due to its speed of movement, Yin Chen’s coverage of the entire Ninth District was only about thirty percent, which was far from enough. Fortunately, the nearby areas were almost a hundred percent covered.

”I understand,” Zi Zhen nodded.

”Don’t worry, there’s no need to be nervous. Everything will be normal.” Tianming patted her shoulder and walked to the depths of the deep-sea cave.

Zi Zhen looked at him and went to the vicinity of the cave entrance.

Yin Chen was still ‘working’!

Entering the Sea of Order, the caeli of the beastmaster and his lifebound beasts would ascend together. At that time, Yin Chen’s main body would go into hibernation. Tianming wanted to obtain the imperial and lifesbane orders, which would be indispensable.

”The opportunity to re-enter the Sea of Order may only come once so it must be seized!” Tianming took a deep breath.

The six lifebound beasts were ready and eagerly waiting.

Tianming reached out and held the order fragment, swallowing the strange bizarre structure made of three hexagonal cards and the order fragment began melting.

”I remember when I and Ying Huo first started cultivating, we used to eat ore and herbs for cultivation. Those spiritual treasures of heaven and earth would burn and cause us to scream in pain when they entered our bodies....” Now, absorbing this order fragment, there was no pain at all.

It was like an invisible world rule spreading within and becoming countless hexagonal fragments that got smaller and smaller and poured into Tianming’s body’s six orders. His infernal heart, radix liver, genesis spleen, primordial lungs, and steel kidneys were all bathing in the energy.

Of course, there was also the whole-body system of Ji Ji’s ancestral order.

Bright starlight flowed into the six orders, and Tianming could clearly feel their growth in his heptastar organs! His infernal order, primordial order, and so on, all expanded and deepened while their control increased. It was as if they had absorbed the world’s laws to become their own laws.

Although these are innate orders, they can still grow with the order fragment. I wonder what the relationship is between these innate orders and the orders in the Sea of Order? As his orders grew, Tianming clearly felt that he was approaching a new level. He was very clear-minded.

He opened his mouth, activating his primordial lungs and using primordial breathing to absorb the surrounding xeno source. A large amount of xeno source formed a vortex and surged toward him. He had also placed many soulstones around him; even though he couldn’t match the absorption efficiency of Zi Zhen, he wasn’t exactly slow, either.

The xeno source transformed in his infernal heart before flowing throughout his body through the blood vessels, circulating through each of his astrons. His cosmoforce became stronger and stronger. At the same time, when his six orders grew to a certain extent, they faintly formed a resonance, and unexpectedly, all of them began beating like hearts.

The ninth astral phase, multiorder symphony!

Tianming’s caelum also pulsed along with the resonance. This might be his only opportunity. If he missed it, his imperial and lifesbane’s two major cultivation systems would be cut off, which would be a fatal blow to him. Thus, he knew better than anyone else that this opportunity was crucial!

”Get ready, everyone, help me out!” Tianming said with some excitement at the moment of resonance between his caelum and the orders.

”Oh!”

”So naggy!”

”Understand that he’s old and useless.”

”He used his big move too much, and now he’s exhausted!”

The lifebound beasts were frantically ridiculing Tianming, who couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to them. His caelum wrapped around the imperial and lifesbane divine wills. The two wills, which hadn’t grown at all recently, were ‘trembling’ in his caelum.

Compared to his six orders, they were very weak. His mental will had already shifted to his caelum, and his vita and body had entered a state of dormancy.

Ying Huo and the rest were the same! That also meant that Yin Chen was officially dormant. Their six caeli gathered around Tianming’s caelum.

This time, the Sea of Order was just above their heads and wouldn’t disappear again. But Tianming knew that the situation of his caelum wrapping around a divine will was still a rare opportunity.

”Go, brothers!” The Sea of Order itself carried an attraction. Tianming, with hope in his heart, watched as the vast vortex above his head continuously changed, turning into a hexagonal sea. Each hexagon was separated into many more hexagons in a continuous cycle that made it dizzying to behold.

Order had different scales. Grand orders encompassed everything, and their progress was difficult, but their power was immense. Lesser orders were more specialized and rapidly progressed, but had a lower ceiling.

”Let’s go!” The seven caeli rushed upward, and this time there was finally no Huang Qi forcibly stopping them by waking them up and blocking their journey to the Sea of Order.

”We’re getting closer and closer!” Finally, Tianming’s caelum entered the Sea of Order. At that moment, his body finally relaxed, like falling into a deep sleep and entering a dream.

”Are they up?” Zi Zhen looked back. After confirming, she stood up and began concentrating, intensely staring at the vast sea outside.

......

Ninth District.

Somewhere in the dark, Yuan Long and more than a dozen nascent mediums were gathered. With the reminder from their rex mundi, when they spoke, to prevent eavesdropping, they remained within small hidden formations they carried with them, and at the same time, they also used them to conceal their figures.

There were fifteen fifth-level cosmic cartographers. ”The mark is gone. He’s probably used that order fragment,” Yuan Long said in a low voice.

”What should we do now?” someone asked.
