Beastmaster of the Ages

Since Eminent Jiguang had voluntarily conceded, there was no need to apply so much pressure in the Soulblend Formation. Additionally, because of what happened last time with Suishen Yao, Eminent Jiguang was somewhat fearful. She maintained a certain distance, allowing the fused totems to remain between them.

But despite their separation, the rich fragrance emanating from her body still filled the Soulblend Formation. It was incredibly intoxicating, easily stirring up the evil impulses in Tianming’s mind.

Sometimes, smell was more stimulating than sight.

I mustn’t have improper thoughts, I must respect her! She’s a great woman... Tianming repeatedly reminded himself, fully dedicating himself to serving Eminent Jiguang.

When he stopped taking and started giving, the essence of their totem fusion cultivation changed. The aurora nymphs greedily absorbed the essence of the top-tier decapath era godswords. The benefits of this were clear to the eminent, who was deeply engrossed in it.

Of course, that didn’t mean that Tianming gained nothing. He had already gained four simulacra from the two women. This time, his totems, like parched land, absorbed the rain from Eminent Jiguang’s totems.

Two decabane totems perfectly combined, harmoniously blending. Unlike the sharp contrast between Tianming and Suishen Yao, their fusion was a perfect blend of strength and softness, yang and yin, achieving an ideal balance. Given Eminent Jiguang’s profound comprehension of totems, which far surpassed Suishen Yao’s, Tianming felt like he was soaring, and even his order was making some progress.

In the depths of the Jiguang Sea, he felt like he was surrounded not by cold seawater but by a warm embrace. He was like a baby, with his soul feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.

Time seemed to pass unnoticed for the two, except for Suishen Yao who was bored and counting the days. She knew that the immersive training had already lasted a year.

”The last time I trained, my aunt made me do it in two sessions, four months each. But here she is, doing a full year in one go!” Suishen Yao was slightly relieved when she saw that the two were keeping a respectful distance. She was also worried that her aunt might get too absorbed and forget everything, leading to the same outcome she had experienced.

”That would be a big problem. My dad and grandpa would team up to hunt you down.... Hopefully, you know what’s good for you.” Suishen Yao was still muttering to herself when a huge commotion suddenly erupted within the Soulblend Formation.

”It can’t be!!” Suishen Yao was startled, quickly looking over and seeing ten fused totems violently shaking. Tianming frowned, while on the other side, Eminent Jiguang was enveloped in pink light. The aura of a tenth-level foundationeer surged from her body and flooded the Soulblend Formation; it was that powerful force that was difficult for Tianming to withstand.

”Thankfully, it wasn’t what I thought!” Suishen Yao was genuinely frightened. She thought her aunt had lost control again. After first messing up her life, she now might have done the same to herself.

As the Soulblend Formation continued trembling, Tianming and his totems were abruptly flung out like a spent male mantis.

Meanwhile, the Soulblend Formation filled with pink mist as Eminent Jiguang rose directly from the Jiguang Sea, her radiance glowing and her aura climbing.

”Little Li, are you okay?” Suishen Yao showed some humanity as she quickly came over to support Tianming. She checked him from top to bottom, finding that he was just a bit drained.

”I’m fine, I’m fine.” Tianming shook his head, finally regaining his focus.

Seeing him like that, Suishen Yao couldn’t help but laugh, ”So you finally had your turn to get drained, eh?”

”Don’t say things like that, you’ll cause misunderstandings,” Tianming replied, speechless.

”Misunderstandings? You’re the one with a dirty mind! You’re really something—she’s your aunt too!” Suishen Yao bit her lip and pinched him hard.

”Just be quiet!” Tianming glared at her, and after a moment’s rest, started regaining some of his energy. ”To be honest, because I focused so much on taking care of her during this cultivation session, letting her fully explore the mysteries of the decapath era godswords, I do feel a bit drained.”

He had gone all out to repay Eminent Jiguang this time, taking great care of her throughout the process. It was something that not even Suishen Yao had experienced.

With that in mind, Tianming and Suishen Yao flew out of the sea and looked up. Above them, the Soulblend Formation was glowing with pink light, bathing everything in her power and radiance. The woman within with flowing hair was like the incarnation of a goddess.

”My aunt is so beautiful...” Suishen Yao couldn’t help but marvel.

”You aren’t bad either,” Tianming replied.

”Really?” Suishen Yao covered her face and said, ”But I still feel like I’m missing that womanly charm my aunt has.”

”Don’t worry, as long as you have some masculinity, you’ll be fine.” Tianming said.

”Ugh! You’re too much!” Suishen Yao was so angry that her stomach hurt. ”You’re just a Little Tianming, but lately you’ve been getting really cocky.”

”I do fine, I’m just the Number Three in Myriadpath Valley,” Tianming humbly replied.

”I’m going to strangle you!” She threw herself on top of Tianming. In their close struggle, Tianming didn’t know how to get her off him, so they ended up wrestling above the Jiguang Sea and Suishen Yao was soon a mess.

The Soulblend Formation shook again, making them pause. Tianming looked up and asked, ”Did your aunt really make progress? I feel like her aura’s grown much stronger.”

”Yes, but can you put your hand away while you’re talking?” Suishen Yao’s face turned red as she glared at him.

”It isn’t that, I was just trying to stop you from attacking me,” Tianming seriously explained.

”Why don’t you grab my hand then? What do my legs have to do with it?”

”Enough, look up there!”

The changes in Eminent Jiguang successfully distracted Suishen Yao. The Soulblend Formation opened and pink mist swept down. Ten aurora nymphs, each as beautiful as a celestial being, drifted within. And among the aurora nymphs, a goddess in a dreamy long dress descended, landing in front of Tianming and Suishen Yao.

Suishen Yao’s eyes lit up as she excitedly asked, ”Aunt, did your simulacra improve?”
