Beastmaster of the Ages

Furthermore, he had even received a letter from Jiang Qingluan last time at the Dongshen Arena with downright “explosive” content. That made facing the Jiang Qingluan of the Vermilion Bird Starcage even more awkward.

“By the way, I contacted the Vermilion Bird Starcage earlier,” Li Tianzi said. He glanced at Mu Qingqing, then coughed lightly. “All their dazzling radiances are in the hands of the imperial daughter, Jiang Qingluan. She said that if you want it, you’ll have to go there and take it yourself.

“This is between you two. As your brother, I can’t interfere.” With that, he patted Tianming on the shoulder.

“What the hell? I’ve never even met her!” Tianming was shocked.

“Don’t pretend. If you want to go, just go. One more won’t make a difference anyway,” Mu Qingqing spoke up, her tone clearly tinged with resentment.

Hearing her say that, Tianming finally became certain.

It seemed that the him from the Realm of Chaos a hundred thousand years ago really had something going on with this Jiang Qingluan. What a headache. Tianming had no idea what he would even say if he met her.

“She wants me to go to Vermilion Bird in person to take it... Who knows what her motive is? And how different are the personalities of these two Jiang Qingluans? Forget it. I won’t go for now. This is a problem for future me.”

He put away the dazzling radiances and saw Li Tianzi off.

When he came back, he saw Mu Qingqing quietly watching him, as if lost in thought.

“What are you looking at?”

“I just want to look at you a bit more,” Mu Qingqing said with a gentle smile.

“You look at me all day. Isn’t that enough?”

Tianming didn’t overthink it. He sized up the ten-thousand-meter-tall woman and suddenly had an idea. “Right, Constellationsteal can steal and copy an opponent’s cosmic constellation. Maybe I can copy some of my allies’ cosmic constellations and use them in battle?”

Hearing that, Mu Qingqing rolled her eyes. “That’s wishful thinking. Your Constellationsteal permanently weakens their constellation!”

“That intense?” Tianming was shocked. What a pity. He should have stolen Cang Shentu’s Ocean Deity Constellation back then.

Oh well.

He went beneath his hundred-thousand-meter-tall portrait and began to meditate. He needed to stabilize his orders and let his cosmoforce settle before continuing his cultivation.

There was good news. Sixth’s merger had allowed their power to cross the boundaries of the Realm of Order and Chaos. He could now receive news from the Upper Star Ruin!

“After I came to the Realm of Chaos, Yin Chen’s bodies in the Upper Star Ruin would hibernate. I didn’t expect Sixth’s soul coverage to become higher and higher instead.”

Of course, Yin Chen was still unrivaled in terms of reconnaissance. Bai Feng and the others could merely transmit some information across the universes, and not comprehensive surveillance like Yin Chen.

“How are things?” Tianming asked.

Bai Feng was rather reliable. “No movement yet from the wonderians. So far, their entire race has been unable to suppress Tian Jiu. All their experts are huddling together on Wondrium Imperius.”

Tian Jiu... Those two words left a stir in Tianming’s heart. “Is there any concrete intelligence about Tian Jiu?”

“No news yet. The devas only know that the wonderians have shut their gates and won’t come out.” Bai Feng emerged as a white cloud above his head. “Not even Imperator Yin has seen anyone from wonderians. Strange. Have the wonderians really decided not to care about anything at all, even the devas’ ‘rebellion?’”

“That’s not likely when it’s so big.” Tianming shook his head. “Tian Jiu must have brought such immense pressure that they’re on the verge of collapse internally. Naturally, they have no time to deal with anything else.”

He suddenly missed Little Fish.

Bai Feng continued, “Anyway, the appearance of Tian Jiu is very likely connected to the destruction of the passage leading to the Primordial Sands.”

Tianming nodded. “The one who destroyed the passage still hasn’t made any further moves. Who knows what they’re waiting for... Or is something restraining them?”

Tianming pondered it over and over, but there were far too many unknowns.

“By the way, how is Imperator Yin doing?” Tianming asked.

“He’s fine. The Eightpart Pantheons have entered an impasse. The wonderians are preoccupied. The ashuras have taken the lead, together with the Sin and the Virtue Pantheons, to verbally attack the devas. But it’s useless without the wonderians,” Bai Feng chuckled.

Imperator Yin really was holding his ground and winning debates against all challengers.

Of course, the most crucial point was that the Heavenly Dao was missing a corner and could not mete out punishment. That was why Imperator Yin could withstand the pressure.

As for the Sundown and the Starfall Pantheons, they naturally didn’t dare make a peep. Neither dared to stick their necks out again.

“Oh right. Although no one from the wonderians has come out to manage affairs, the ashuras has been constantly sending people toward Wondrium Imperius. They might be plotting something again,” Bai Feng said.

“Let them be. Their faction suffered defeat in the Primordial Sands. In the short term, launching another offensive is almost impossible.”

After thinking for a moment, Tianming added, “Still, keep an eye on it. Also, didn’t you say Starfall sent people to negotiate, asking us to release the Ninefirm imperial son?”

“Yes. They’ve come several times, and people from Sundown came with them, wanting to take away the Little Empress Luo Li, but they were all driven off,” Bai Feng said.

Tianming felt speechless when he heard that.

That little empress had come to the Flameyellow Imperial Star and had no intention of leaving. The people of Sundown were bound to return empty-handed.

As for the Ninefirm imperial son, he was indeed Tianming’s hostage, and it was not yet time to release him.

“Right now, my greatest assets should be all the flameyellow descendants across the entire Upper Star Ruin...” Bai Feng had updated that once the supply line for resources was set up, the number of Flameyellow cosmic gods on all the fortuna-class worlds had skyrocketed.
