Beastmaster of the Ages

Ten kegs of springwater at once were truly too much. Ten kegs would require occupying the top spot on the Fortuna Ranking for a hundred years, but most people couldn’t do such a thing. Thus, Tianming patiently waited in the fragrant environment. When one keg was filled by the white jade pipe from the ancient well, he immediately replaced it with another one.

”This stuff makes even the House Qitian eminents outside green with envy. Don’t show off your wealth. When a keg is filled, put it in your spatial ring. Don’t worry, the material of the keg is so sturdy that ordinary artifacts can’t break them.” Suishen Zhao was meticulous and had arranged everything for Tianming.

”Got it.” Tianming weighed it in his hand and found that the weight of the springwater was almost negligible for him. He easily stowed the kegs, feeling much more at ease now that he had these treasures to save the Sun and Ebonia

If it weren’t for the opening of the Prehistoric Path, how long would it have taken me to break through so many levels and get so much springwater? It might have taken decades. Even with ten times the rewards, waiting until he had enough levels to contend with Qitian Jian and others, then slowly collecting his Fortuna Ranking rewards could have taken decades, or even a hundred years.

”The Prehistoric Path saved me a century of effort!” Tianming could only say that coming to Myriadpath Valley had been the right decision, and the timing was perfect. No matter how humble or dangerous the early period was, his future grew infinitely bright once he got through it.

”There’s a few more bowls you’ve accumulated from the Fortuna Ranking. Pack them in this myriadpath box,” Suishen Zhao said, handing a small white jade box to Tianming.

The bowls were quite meager compared to ten kegs!

After breaking into the top twenty, the regular reward is ten bowls a year. With my tenfold reward, it’s a hundred bowls a year, equal to Qitian Jian’s reward for the first place. Tianming had already surpassed Suishen Yao by entering the top twenty.

Once I form my eighth cosmic chart, I should be able to challenge the foundationeer geniuses of the Three Exalted Houses—even the minor pathkeepers. Not too long ago, someone like Suishen Yao had been considered a giant compared to Tianming. He didn’t expect that he would be approaching her so soon.

Of course, everything would have to wait until he returned to the Infinitum Mundus.

I don’t know why Suishen Yao and Eminent Jiguang are being so secretive. How do they want me to help them cultivate? I’m already a minor pathkeeper, so they won’t harm me like Lan Yun, would they? Logically, House Suishen wouldn’t have such evil cultivation methods as those on Fallengrace Peak. So Tianming was just overthinking things and still trusted them for now.

After securing the springwater, he was eager to return home. However, he waited for Suishen Zhao to collect his five kegs of springwater before they and Fen Nu left together. As they departed, the eminents of the nine protective formations looked at them with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

”The recent springwater has all been used up by you two!” For even those old fellows to have their beards shaking and their eyes glaring, the value of the treasure was obvious.

Even Fen Nu was extremely nervous and on high alert, afraid that someone would act recklessly.

”Brother, I won’t see you off. Fen Nu will take you directly to the Myriadpath Celestial Formation and wait for you there,” Suishen Zhao said. If he accompanied him, he would have to return alone, which wouldn’t be safe.

”Alright, see you.”

”May you absorb the springwater, advance by leaps and bounds, and soar again,” Suishen Zhao said.

”Likewise.” Tianming waved to him with a smile and quietly left with Fen Nu.

Although his kegs of springwater wouldn’t be used on himself as Suishen Zhao thought, Tianming had no regrets. Saving the people of the Sun and Ebonia was his primary reason for coming to Myriadpath Valley. And now, he had the chance to save his family, friends, and the people from suffering!

Although he handled several matters before leaving, he was already anxious. ”I’m coming!”

Upon arriving at the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, Tianming closed his eyes, letting the giant formation pull him to the distant horizon!

Fengqing Youmeng met him at his destination again. When she came from Wondrium, she saw that Tianming’s lifebound beasts were gone. ”Why don’t you look as handsome as before?” she resentfully said.

”What kind of taste do you have?” Tianming asked, speechless.

”My taste is normal. I liked your wild look last time,” Fengqing Youmeng coquettishly said. She had made up her mind to be a devoted admirer, hoping to get something in return. After all, she had nothing to lose.

”Your taste is quite exotic,” Tianming sneered. But though he said that, he rummaged through his spatial ring and found a high-infinitum-class artifact and tossed it to her. ”Here’s a reward.”

”Thank you, master!” Fengqing Youmeng was so touched that she almost knelt down.

”Master my foot, take me back to Ebonia,” Tianming said.

”Alright.” Fengqing Youmeng flirtatiously opened the xenogate, all the while giving Tianming admiring glances. The more she looked, the more amazed she was. ”Why do I feel like you’re much stronger than before?” she asked.

”Really?”

”Yes, completely different. Last time, you seemed to be struggling in Myriadpath Valley, but this time your attitude’s changed,” Fengqing Youmeng seriously said.

”That’s natural, I’ve wreaked havoc in Myriadpath Valley,” Tianming laughed.

”That means Myriadpath Valley isn’t all that great,” Fengqing Youmeng chuckled.

”Is it possible that Myriadpath Valley isn’t bad, but I’m too awesome?”

”Yes, you’re awesome~” she coquettishly said.

”Lead the way.”

They quickly traversed through the Xenoworld and Tianming finally returned to the Sun, appearing near the Sky Palace.

The moment he returned, the previously named Flameyellow Imperial Star seemed to feel his presence. The entire star fiercely burned, while the Yin Chens left on the Sun and Ebonia instantly awoke. Tianming’s family and friends, all carrying Yin Chens, immediately knew of his return.

”Old Lin, Godfather, Grandfather, Uncle Dongshen!” Tianming let Fengqing Youmeng stay while he headed toward the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. His family was all there!

Upon returning, Ying Huo and the others, who had been cooped up for too long, immediately emerged from the lifebound space and transformed into their largest forms. Some flew while others ran wild!

Except for Meow Meow. It just continued sleeping.

Tianming stood on Ying Huo, quickly reaching the airspace above the Sky Palace. His family, friends, and many astral gods were waiting for him near the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb!

”Emperor Tianming!” the crowd cheered.

Even though there were only hundreds of thousands of astral gods shouting, Tianming felt it deeply: the Sun was his home!
