Beastmaster of the Ages

”Eminent, Little Master, what should I do?” Tianming earnestly asked.

”Once you enter the Soulblend Formation with me, just follow my instructions. It isn’t difficult and I’ll guide you,” Eminent Jiguang gently said.

”With you?” Tianming was stunned again, feeling he had misheard. He quickly asked, ”Eminent, am I not bonding with Little Master...?”

”It’s totemic bonding, not bonding! Don’t say it wrong!” Suishen Yao was furious.

”Oh, yes, my mistake,” Tianming said, embarrassed.

Eminent Jiguang had already moved toward the Soulblend Formation. As she walked, she said, ”There is somewhat of a challenge in using the Soulblend Formation to perform totemic bonding. I haven’t tried it myself yet, so I’ll demonstrate for Yaoyao first and also impart some experience to you.”

“Oh!” Tianming’s eyes widened. Joining terra with Suishen Yao seemed lucky enough. And before that, Eminent Jiguang, the goddess of Myriadpath Valley, was going to demonstrate?

Luckily, I closed the lifebound space! It’s just totems and they don’t mind. I must act like a gentleman and not make this awkward. Tianming straightened his thoughts, looking solemn as he followed Eminent Jiguang in.

”Many in Myriadpath Valley dream of getting close to my aunt. You’re getting lucky here!” Suishen Yao indignantly said.

”I’m truly touched,” Tianming replied.

”Touched by what?”

”You have a wonderful aunt who cares deeply for you. We mustn’t let her down!” Tianming said.

”You?” Suishen Yao noticed his skin seemed thicker after returning from home.

”Tianming, stand here.” Eminent Jiguang gestured to Tianming.

”Yes!” Tianming quickly stood where she indicated.

”Yaoyao, be serious. Come close and carefully observe, don’t miss any details,” Eminent Jiguang instructed Suishen Yao.

”Got it! Observing details, eh? Hmph, lucky Little Li!” Suishen Yao, though disgruntled, complied and stuck close to the Soulblend Formation.

Once everything was set, Eminent Jiguang closed the Soulblend Formation. Now, Tianming and she were alone in the enclosed space. The limited space that was only about ten meters in diameter was filled with her Myriadpath Sourcespring fragrance, stirring his evil impulses.

Before Tianming could think further, the Soulblend Formation, along with Suishen Yao outside, sank to the bottom of the Jiguang Sea. He seemed to have sunk into a brilliant sea of stars. Soon, the formation seemed to have settled deep at the bottom of the Jiguang Sea. It was incredibly quiet there, and no one would know the charming scene hidden within.

”Alright, let’s begin!” Eminent Jiguang grew serious.

Tianming focused, not daring to slack off. His black and gold eyes fixed on the perfect goddess.

Eminent Jiguang’s body began emitting pink starlight, making her look even more dreamlike. Terrifying cosmoforce radiated from her delicate form, making Tianming feel like a tiny boat floating in vast ocean waves.

I heard Eminent Jiguang’s a tenth-level foundationeer. She has a thousand years left to shoot for the peak and was a pathkeeper in her younger years. Tianming could feel the grandeur and power of a tenth-level foundationeer. Her immense cosmoforce instantly dominated the entire Soulblend Formation, and that was without counting her foundation fortress.

Compared to Tianming, she was indeed like a giant.

However! If I were in Infinitum with my omnisentient threads, I might stand a chance. Tianming had experienced this level of power before, so he could make a rough comparison.

The tenth level of the Foundation stage approaches the peak of the astralscape. It’s unfathomable that the Galactic Emperor born from the King’s Crest and black-and-gold omnisentient threads touches that realm so early! The thought gave him tremendous confidence in his strength. Even when facing Eminent Jiguang’s vast power, he, though a tiny boat, could stand firm against the power’s impact!

His resilience also made Eminent Jiguang show a hint of surprise. The Soulblend Formation is so small, yet he remains unmoved under my pressure. It shows that, although he’s young, his inner strength is incredibly tough, something even Yaoyao and others might not have themselves! It was too astonishing.

This child brings surprises in every way. Perhaps Yaoyao’s last ten-month struggle really has a chance. My demonstration and attempt this time mustn’t fail.

In a grand voice, the dreamlike Eminent Jiguang said to Tianming, ”Now summon your ten totems and position them around your body, maintaining a one-meter distance.”

”Yes!” Tianming, bearing the pressure, released the decapath era godswords from his bane-rings. The decapath era godswords can only receive your blessings? Unlikely! Tianming had confidence in his totems. If this totemic bonding succeeded, he never believed that only he would receive benefits. To his pride, merely receiving blessings without giving back was unacceptable.

May these decapath era godswords not let me down! With that hope, Tianming’s decapath era godswords shot out.

The Four Cardinal Godswords plus Heaven, Earth, Time, Space, Life, and Death! The ten swords all bore different attributes, and each had its own era’s mark. In appearance and grandeur, they were definitely impressive.

”Not bad.” Eminent Jiguang praised the totems.

Even Suishen Yao, looking more closely, showed some surprise in her eyes.

Eminent Jiguang summoned her own totems. Her bane-rings were also positioned at her brow, marked by a pink crescent. The crescent mark turned three-dimensional. Inside were nine bane-rings, housing nine totems. And in the deepest depths of the nine bane-rings was her astral brain, the seat of her vita.
