Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3283 - I Won’t be Polite

”It wasn’t difficult.” The entire process didn’t involve any comprehension, just unlocking. Tianming was already very familiar with it. Ever since the Sword Insight Rock below the Archaion Sect, he had been an old hand at cracking inheritance formations.

As the restrictions grew more advanced, his methods became more sophisticated.

”Continue.” Since no one was managing or paying attention to him, Tianming didn’t stop. He found that the process of capturing the divine birds with his Plundering Eye looked no different from others’ comprehension. Each involved drawing the divine birds into the body until there were enough golden divine birds on them to appear merged with the Greatsun Stele.

”I won’t be polite—let’s get started!” Tianming caught another golden divine bird, persuading it through his ‘virtue’ and drawing it into his body, which became a cage that confined it.

This time his technique was more refined, but he found that trying to press two divine birds into his body was like forcing two birds into a cage. Since his cage’s space was quite limited, the difficulty increased.

The size of the cage is related to my cosmoforce and order. It seems I have a limit, and mine is probably far less than that of Eminent Ranxing. The realization hit Tianming hard.

I’m not greedy. It’s absolutely sufficient for me as long as I can obtain the first fold of the legacy for now. Even just one fold represented a significant rise in status. Moreover, even if he obtained the second and third folds, with his current order, he might not be able to use them.

Even the first fold was challenging! But despite the difficulty, Tianming gritted his teeth and decided to at least strive for the first fold.

”Yin Chen, go around and find out how many birds are needed to unlock the first fold of the Greatsun Suishen Art,” Tianming asked.

”Got it.” Yin Chen couldn’t ask directly and had to eavesdrop, which took some time.

Tianming didn’t wait and continued in his low-profile corner, capturing one golden divine bird after another. Gradually, more golden bird images appeared on him.

The first people to notice were Suishen Yuan and Fen Nu.

”What’s that kid doing, still wasting time?” Suishen Yuan waited for a while and became a bit impatient. He looked up at Tianming and saw that he was genuinely comprehending. Rolling his eyes, he was about to scold him when he suddenly noticed more than a dozen golden rays of light on Tianming! The dozen golden divine birds may be negligible, compared to the thousands of divine birds other eminents had and the over half a million birds of Eminent Ranxing, but Suishen Yuan knew that Tianming had never been to the stele before.

It meant the dozen divine birds were his recent comprehensions!

”What?” Even Fen Nu widened his eyes, stunned. As an eminent, he knew better than Suishen Yuan just how difficult it was to comprehend a dozen divine birds in such a short period of time.

”Fen Nu, how many divine birds have you comprehended?”

”Three thousand, which took me two thousand years! Just over one bird per year!” Fen Nu widened his eyes and held his breath.

”Then... what does this mean?” Suishen Yuan’s vision darkened and he almost fainted. Honestly, he had mentally prepared himself, but seeing something that was so logic-defying still made his head spin, as if he had plunged into an icy abyss.

”The initial stages are quicker, so it doesn’t necessarily mean much... but at the very least, his initial speed is faster than most eminents! And he isn’t even a foundationeer!” Fen Nu was dumbfounded.

”Should we drag him away?” Suishen Yuan asked, looking conflicted.

”Absolutely not. He seems to be in good condition... let’s keep watching!” Fen Nu replied, looking even more bewildered.

While their minds were in turmoil, Tianming, having absorbed over fifty divine birds, received a figure from Yin Chen. ”Ten thousand?”

It required ten thousand divine birds to obtain the first fold of the Greatsun Suishen Art. The number was within his expectations, which made him frown a bit because he wasn’t sure if his body could withstand ten thousand divine birds flying together.

He could only give it his all. The second fold required a hundred thousand divine birds, and the third required five hundred thousand divine birds! They were temporarily beyond Tianming’s consideration, so his goal was only the first fold.

Even Eminent Jiguang and Eminent Ranxing took over a hundred years to conquer the first fold. And it’s a distant dream for other eminents. Clearly, comprehending the Greatsun Suishen Art isn’t something hard work alone can achieve. Ten thousand divine birds? Tianming took a deep breath and shut out the outside world, concentrating on catching birds.

Fifty... a hundred... five hundred! After capturing five hundred divine birds, nearly half a day had passed. It was a very short time, and the eminents above him were still far from capturing even one divine bird.

Meanwhile, Tianming’s divine brilliance had already matched that of several eminents. As expected, he had already caused a stir. The commotion spread from Suishen Yuan!

He and Fen Nu had been closely watching Tianming. When they saw that Tianming’s speed hadn’t decreased after capturing over a hundred divine birds, but had instead slightly increased, they were stunned.

”That freak’s causing trouble again.” Suishen Yuan almost collapsed in despair. He believed he had been cautious enough to avoid being embarrassed this time, considering every logical aspect. But he had still been slapped in the face in the end, rendering him speechless.

”That Minor Pathkeeper Li Tianming’s comprehending the Greatsun Suishen Stele. They say he has captured five hundred golden divine birds!”

”Five or five hundred?”

”Five hundred, brother!”

”Damn, damn, damn...!”

Many saints were frightened out of their wits. Some were even interrupted in their contemplation of the stele and crawled over to witness the miracle.

”This time is more exaggerated than the Prehistoric Path because now he’s overshadowing the eminents of House Suishen. Look, those eminents’ speeds are like a snail’s compared to his.”

”Then what’s he?”

”An astralship!”

Comparing a snail to an astralship, while exaggerated, highlighted their shock and confusion. This time, Tianming was shattering the common sense of Myriadpath Valley even more than he had on the Prehistoric Path.

It was truly an impossible event happening.

But after all, it was the racial talent of the sky plunderers. Clearly, Myriadpath Valley had no understanding of such racial talents.
