Beastmaster of the Ages

”Heavens, don’t toy with me like that!” Tianming had worked so hard to get Sixth back. Symbiotic cultivation had also worked out rather well, but then Sixth had to tell him that there were two other parts of itself that had each said something bad to him, too! It was no wonder he always had the feeling that Sixth was sometimes cold and sometimes bombastically delusional. The delusional one was probably only one of them, the caelum, and there were still the terra and vita to worry about!

”Don’t worry. Once I get stronger from symbiotic cultivation, they’ll surely see the benefits, too. You won’t need to do much to convince them once that’s the case,” Sixth nonchalantly said.

”Fine!” There was nothing else he could do about it. Then again, merely one part of Sixth had given him so many surprises, whether it was its omnisentient power or combat capabilities. That alone qualified it to be among the ranks of the Primordial Chaos Beasts, or perhaps even supersede them.

He was already rather satisfied to learn the truth. From another point of view, it was as if he had two additional lifebound beasts to tame—rare and unique ones, at that. It wouldn’t be too ridiculous to think that he would end up with nine Primordial Chaos Beasts and three soul beasts, right? If Sixth had three parts, wouldn’t that make it three times stronger than the rest?

”Your Tortoise Bro has two heads, but only one will, and you have three!” Ying Huo’s voice rang out from the lifebound space.

”Who’s speaking?!” Sixth angrily yelled.

”Your Chicken Bro! That’s who!”

”Just another livestock animal,” Sixth sneered.

”You’re nothing but a crybaby that went into Li Tianming’s nose like snot! You’re just as much a livestock animal as we are!” Ying Huo snapped.

”Ah, how infuriating.” Sixth was speechless, just as the others had been when they heard that it was only one part of three.

”Which god domains are they in?” Tianming asked. Since he had learned the right way to reclaim them, why not do it all at once? After all, he would be passing through the other god domains anyway. Sixth’s caelum was a successful attempt, and if the other two also worked out, he would get stronger much faster.

”One’s in God Domain Three, the other’s in God Domain Seven,” Sixth said, sounding rather unhappy.

”Why’re they so far away from you?” If they had all been in God Domain One, Tianming would have been able to take care of them on the same day.

”Far away? We have our own territories. One mountain can’t house two tigers. Naturally, our territories have to be far from each other’s.”

”Territories? So God Domain One’s your territory, while God Domains Three and Seven are theirs, right?” Tianming asked.

”No....” Sixth’s voice suddenly sounded much softer.

”Then how is it?”

Awkwardly, Sixth said, ”One occupies God Domains Two, Three, and Four. The other took God Domains Five, Six, Seven, Eight, and Nine. They stay in Three and Seven because those are about the midpoints of their territories from which they can absorb the soul power of their subjects in all their domains.”

Tianming had wondered why Sixth had been found so easily in God Domain One. It turned out that it didn’t control the entire Ancient Oldgod Domain; instead, its other counterparts did!

”So you’re just trash, aren’t you? One of your triplets occupied five god domains! The other got three! All you got was the entry port!” Tianming said, widening his eyes.

”Shut up! I’m the caelum, and caeli aren’t that voluminous in the first place, alright? How can you compare me with them when it’s just something I was born with? From the beginning, the three of us split up in ratios of one, three, and five! However, I’m the part that’s responsible for gaining heavenly insight, so that makes me the smartest! When the other two were foolhardily bumbling into the Ancient Oldgod Domain, I was smart enough to conquer the entry port! Even if they have more infant souls than I do, if they dare to come down, I’ll pummel them! Why’d you think they weren’t here with me to beat you up?”

”How many infant souls do you have? Nine?” Tianming asked.

”That’s right!”

”What about them?”

”The terra has twenty-seven and the vita has forty-five!”

”Then why do you make it sound like you’re able to beat them?” Tianming’s expression darkened.

”What’s wrong with being confident?!” Sixth chuckled. ”I know you want to go up there and take them with you, but I’m advising you to forget about it. They aren’t like me. One’s explosive, while the other’s cold. They have much more omnisentient power than me, too. I can already provide you the soul aspect that you need. You might as well focus on making me stronger to show them what they’re missing out on.

”Once I’m strong enough to take them down on my own, they’ll naturally want to join you. It isn’t like they can’t go anywhere but the Ancient Oldgod Domain, and they’ve already reached the highest possible volume here. Most importantly, I have the Ancient Oldgod Domain closed down over here, so they have nowhere to escape to!” Sixth began laughing like an evil maniac.

Tianming was quite speechless at the caelum’s carefree attitude. It seemed to be rather keen on symbiotic cultivation, now that it had been subdued by him. If it really did surpass the vita and terra, then they would submit without a fight instead of needing Tianming to risk his life fighting them like he just had with the caelum. Most importantly, it’s right. I already have the basic Primordial-Chaos-Beast aspect of the soul from Sixth’s caelum. It’s already more than strong enough, too.

It was one thing to say that he didn’t have Sixth’s complete mass, but he already had its basic capabilities. While the vita, caelum, and terra had different capacities, they didn’t differ in terms of basic qualities.

”Alright, then. We’ll see your other two selves when you feel it’s appropriate. I’ll be counting on you,” Tianming said. He was busy dealing with the Original Sin Pool, and had to learn more about the flameyellow divinities as well. Now that I have Sixth and Zi Zhen, it’s the same as having conquered God Domain One. Eventually, I’ll get the other two and have total dominion over the Ancient Oldgod Domain. There’s no need to conquer anything, they’ve already done it all!

The Ancient Oldgod Domain was rather important for their orders and overflow fragments. Not to mention, Tianming also had his title as Sacred Healer here. He took a deep breath and ended his cultivation. His goals had become even more defined. At that moment, the bundle of clouds extended above his head and turned into a girl, adopting Feiling’s appearance again.

”Change to something else!” Tianming yelled.

”Tch!” Sixth gave him a stink-eye and turned into the spicy goddess, Jiguang, instead.

”Can you not take a womanly form at all?”

”I’m only reflecting the people you want to see in your mind. My body naturally adopts their forms!” ’Jiguang’ said with annoyance.

”Change to something else!” Tianming insisted.

”Fine! Sheesh!” Sixth turned into Li Muyang and cleared his throat before patting Tianming on the shoulder. ”My son, how have you been doing?”

What in the world was that?! Tianming punched the bundle of clouds to dissipate it. ”By the way....” He took a deep breath and continued, ”What’s your original name?”

Primordial Chaos Beasts all had their own names. Sixth took a deep breath excitedly and said, ”The one you see before you is the Invincible Ultimate Unrivaled Badass Eternal Soul Progenitor of All Things Sea of Origin—”

”Speak a real language!” Tianming glared at it. What came after Aeternal Infernal Phoenix, Genesis Chaos Thunderfiend, Primordial Terraqua Dragon, Radix World Tree, and Myriadworld Immortbeast?!

”Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor!”
