Beastmaster of the Ages

Eminent Jiguang turned to look at Tianming and said, ”I promised Yaoyao that I’d help her find her mother. When she lost her mother, her brother was still young and didn’t quite understand, but Yaoyao was raised by her mother and hasn’t been able to move on even after all these years.”

”I see....” It was no wonder that, before Eminent Jiguang’s breakthrough, Suishen Yao had said that if she didn’t break through, she wouldn’t let Eminent Jiguang go to the Yin-Yang World. But since Eminent Jiguang had reached the minor zenith, going to the Inner Yin had become a must for her!

”Don’t worry, during the calm season, even some tenth-level foundationeer eminents dare to venture into the Inner Yin. Now that I’ve reached the minor zenith, what do I have to fear? My father also goes into the Inner Yin every time, and he’s fine,” Eminent Jiguang said.

”Okay!” Tianming nodded.

A half-shattered subsoul.... What exactly is Yaoyao’s mother’s situation? Tianming wanted to know as well. Unfortunately, he might not be able to go to the Yin-Yang World. Logically speaking, Eminent Jiguang was right. It was best for him to steadily develop.

Ordinary dangers might be manageable risks, but the Yin-Yang World was a death zone!

Soon, they returned to the stareye.

Tianming thought of Zi Zhen and said, ”Auntie, I need to see a friend. You should go back first.”

”A friend?” Eminent Jiguang was slightly taken aback and lightly smiled. ”What kind of friend? Can your aunt meet them?”

”You’re too beautiful and I’m afraid my friend will have a heart attack,” Tianming joked.

”Yeah, right.” Eminent Jiguang didn’t believe him and said, ”I’m just worried about your safety.”

”Don’t worry, I’ve been hustling in the Xenoabyss for a long time. It’s no big problem,” Tianming assured her.

”Alright.” She nodded, then slightly raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Will you see me off when I head to the Yin-Yang World?”

”When are you leaving?” Tianming asked.

”About a month from now, but it takes nearly half a month to get back using the Myriadpath Celestial Formation,” Eminent Jiguang replied.

”Then there’s enough time. I’ll head back in the next few days,” Tianming said.

”Okay, take care and stay safe. Be cautious,” Eminent Jiguang reminded him.

”No problem.”

After sending her off, Tianming headed toward Zi Zhen’s location. He had Meow Meow enter his body and dashed forward using Fiveway Blitzrun. A vast area like the Xenoabyss was suitable for going full pelt, allowing Tianming to cover vast distances in an instant.

This speed really is comparable to that of an ordinary eminent! That meant that eminents like Eminent Tiankui or Suishen Yue, or even the ninth-level foundationeer Fen Nu, shouldn’t be able to kill Tianming.

Being able to preserve my life against them shows that my combat strength has reached the threshold of Myriadpath Valley’s powerhouses. That was crucial!

He optimized the Fiveway Blitzrun, becoming faster and faster. It didn’t take long for him to reach Zi Zhen’s hiding place.

Zi Zhen was still a third-level foundationeer, while Tianming’s combat strength had surpassed hers again!

”You’re here?” She knew Tianming had come for a breakthrough this time and was naturally happy to see him come to visit after his breakthrough. However, her happiness didn’t show on her face.

Tianming sat with her in the deep cave. There wasn’t anything urgent, just casual conversation. She spoke very little, mostly listening.

Tianming, on the other hand, had no shortage of things to say, discussing everything under the sun. Eventually, he talked about his recent breakthrough and his plans for the future.

”When I become a bit stronger and can contend with House Yumo, I’ll find a way to enter the Yumo Cave and retrieve the things you need.” he felt that that day wasn’t too far off now. He still wanted to bring Zi Zhen to Myriadpath Valley, because only there could she have a chance to leave the place that made her feel lonely.

”Mm.” Zi Zhen obediently nodded. Leaning on Tianming’s shoulder, she watched him speak with such determination in his eyes. The strength of his belief made her feel envious and full of admiration.

Then he talked about the Yin-Yang World.

”It’s a zone of adventure for reverends and above. Most reverends will take a trip there during the calm season, and some disciples with reverend-level strength might also go. But unfortunately, I can’t.” Tianming shook his head with a bitter smile.

”Why can’t you?” Zi Zhen asked.

Tianming explained his current situation in Myriadpath Valley. Although it seemed steady, there were actually many uncertainties. He had to remain low-key for the time being.

”Indeed, you mustn’t let anyone know your current maximum combat strength,” Zi Zhen agreed after hearing his explanation.

”It’ll be exposed sooner or later. Many disputes are unpredictable. The only thing I can do now is to accumulate as much as possible before being exposed,” Tianming said. He was basically robbing Myriadpath Valley of resources, but had reached his limit.

”If I could go to the Yin-Yang World, I might be able to obtain a lot of baleflame using Yin Chen,” he continued. However, it was too easy to get noticed.

”Do you want to go?” Zi Zhen suddenly asked.

”Of course I do. Otherwise, the coming days will be too boring,” Tianming laughed.

”Then go.” Zi Zhen looked at him.

Tianming was momentarily stunned, then smiled. ”Didn’t I just tell you? I can’t.”

”You can,” Zi Zhen suddenly said with certainty.

”What do you mean?”

Zi Zhen reached out for the purple scarf on his neck, holding it in her hand and seriously saying, ”It can help you.”

”This thing?” Tianming took the scarf and playfully covered his face with it, ”Now no one knows my secret identity.”

”Just wait, it has many uses.” Zi Zhen held the scarf in her hand and glanced at Tianming. ”Turn around and don’t look.”

”What’s with the mystery?” Tianming asked. Could it be something embarrassing?

”Just don’t look,” she insisted.

”Alright!” Tianming crossed his arms behind his back and turned around.

Only then did Zi Zhen hold the purple scarf in one hand, while the other hovered above it. A cut appeared on her palm, dripping purple blood onto the scarf.

Tianming’s Plundering Eye saw everything clearly. ”What’re you doing?” he asked.

”You’re peeking?” Zi Zhen said, exasperated, realizing that he had an eye on his palm.

”I’m not.” Tianming turned around and saw her continuing to bleed. He frowned and asked, ”Why are you doing this?”

She was losing a large amount of blood, which was definitely harmful to her.

”You’ll see in a moment.”
