Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming knew one thing: he had to cling tightly to Lan Yun’s thighs for the promised three hundred years. With anyone else, he could fool around, but he must behave in front of her.

Lan Yun laughed, obviously enjoying Tianming’s teasing, but when she spoke next, her tone remained solemn. ”Your unruly personality is unique, and an advantage in Myriadpath Valley, but the more arrogant you are, the more likely you are to die. You chose this path, so I won’t interfere with your decision. All I can do is limit your opponents. Whether you live or die, succeed or become a laughingstock... it’s all up to you.”

”I only have to deal with fortuna disciples thanks to you, Master. You’ve been a great help to me. I’ll remember your kindness!” Tianming said.

”Don’t underestimate fortuna disciples. You can only run, not suppress them. Make no mistake. As long as you’re weaker than them, one wrong move and you’re dead,” Lan Yun said.

”There’s nothing I can do. This has been my fate from the moment I killed Huang Jihuang. If I’m going to die whether I’m arrogant or not, I might as well not overthink it,” Tianming said, his voice filled with self-deprecation.

”That’s right, so you can only depend on yourself. This is the last time I’ll stand up for you. From now on, you’ll have to handle it on your own!” Lan Yun replied.

”Can I continue killing?” Tianming asked.

”What do you think?”

”It’s the same whether or not I kill more people. They already hate me and believe that black ring disciples can’t kill gold ring disciples. I might as well kill them to avoid more trouble in the future,” Tianming said.

”Then how long will you keep killing?” Lan Yun asked.

”I’ll kill until all fortuna disciples are afraid of me, then I’ll kill until all maniverse disciples are afraid of me. And after that, I’ll kill until everyone in Myriadath Valley is afraid of me. Then I won’t have to kill anymore.”

”You have no reserve at all. You really think you’re a genius, the number one prodigy in the cosmos,” Lan Yun laughed.

”Do you think I’m a genius or a joke, Master?” Tianming said.

”Right now, you’re still a joke, a speck of dust.”

”When will I no longer be a joke?” Tianming asked.

”When you reach the top ten on the Fortuna Ranking!” Lan Yun said.

”Top ten?” Tianming nodded.

”Being first on the Skyward Ranking doesn’t mean anything. And even if it did mean something because of your age, it still doesn’t mean much. There’s never been a black ring disciple to make it to the top ten of the Fortuna Ranking ever since the beginning of Myriadpath Valley. Do you understand?” Lan Yun asked.

”I do. So unless one’s been nurtured from childhood by Myriadpath Valley, it’s impossible to be among the top ten geniuses in all of the astralscape of order,” Tianming said.

”What do you think now?” Lan Yun asked, coldly chuckling.

”I want to take first place and defeat the entire cosmos!” Tianming firmly said.

Lan Yun was so shocked that she couldn’t help laughing out loud.

”Is your laughter sarcasm or surprise at my ambition?” Tianming asked.

”Both. I find you amusing. You’re unique. I’m curious to see how far you’ll make it before losing your life.”

”Is there no way for me to reach my goal without dying?” Tianming asked.

”The probability of that happening is very low, so low that it’s almost impossible. But if you actually get what you want, you’ll be a wonder in the Million Mundi, astralscape of order, and even Myriadpath Valley!” Lan Yun said.

”I think only a disciple like me is worthy of your beauty and charm...” Tianming teased.

”Who are you trying to tease?” Lan Yun scoffed.

”I....” Lowering his head, Tianming clenched his fists and stopped talking.

”Get out. I order you to enter the Ascension Colosseum today!” Lan Yun coldly said.

”Yes.” Tianming nodded, heading straight for the Ascension Colosseum without wasting time.

”Aren’t you fearless? You dare tease her!” Ying Huo exclaimed.

”What do you know?! Her protection entirely weighs on my value as an astralkiln, not as a disciple. If I don’t behave like I’m charmed, if I don’t have any sort of flirtatious interaction with her and act purely as a disciple, my relationship with her won’t be secure. I have to make her long for me until she falls completely under my spell!” Tianming said.

”Tsk, tsk, tsk! You’ve become the god of love now that Ling’er isn’t around!” Ying Huo retorted.

”Go away! I’m trying to survive among a pack of wolves, got it? My current situation isn’t any better than it was in the Infinitum Mundus. I don’t actually have anyone to rely on and we might all die. I have to look out for all of you, so I have to use my brains,” Tianming said.

”You have to use your brains, but you can also use your seventh astral organ to stabilize your relationship,” Miao Miao interjected.

Tianming was speechless, caught between laughter and fury.

He released more Yin Chens to keep an eye on Gongsun Yan and the others, and numerous invisible cockroaches to shadow the group of gold ring disciples who were after him. They were headed to House Huang to see a man named Huang Daosheng.

”I don’t have to spread Yin Chen throughout Myriadpath Valley for the time being. All I have to do is keep an eye on my enemies. Those gold ring disciples made it seem like I’d offended all gold ring disciples just to scare me, but in fact, the ones who really want to kill me are the disciples of Daolie, Qingyuan, and Shujian. And the rest... it isn’t their friends who died and they’re busy with their own affairs. Who has the time to go after a nobody like me? Myriadpath Valley is complicated. There’s so many gold ring disciples, and they’re all in competition with one another!”

Tianming only appeared to have caused public outrage, but the truth was, he didn’t have that many enemies or obstacles. Monitoring the few he had would suffice.

”If you don’t have any enemies or critics throughout your life, you’re a pushover and a coward who’ll be bullied by everyone. But that isn’t me.”

He used Fiveway Blitzrun, traveling through the sea of clouds toward his destination.

The Ascension Colosseum was on the same level as the Heavensource Starriver. It was where victory and defeat was decided, where the strong were separated from the weak and the division of most of Myriadpath Valley’s cultivation resources was determined, including the Myriadpath Sourcespring. It was the most lively place in Myriadpath Valley.

”There’s two kinds of disciples in Myriadpath Valley, fortuna disciples who are under the age of five hundred, and maniverse disciples between five hundred and two thousand years old. Those under two thousand years old are youths. After that age, they’re considered fully mature and should have reached the Foundation stage. All foundationeers will automatically receive the title of myriadpath saint. They can stay permanently in Myriadpath Valley and are qualified to accept disciples.”

There were only two statuses in Myriadpath Valley, disciple and saint. Reverends and eminents were essentially superior saints. They weren’t cultivation levels, but positions similar to the Etherean Gladeus.
