Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6691

Chapter 6599 The Most Evil Thing!

After Miao Cangtian’s departure, the team lost its core.

Silence reigned.

It was Miao Cangtian’s decision to leave Li Tianming behind.

Therefore, the Miao Shenmen members weren’t responsible. Furthermore, Miao Lian, who was being ‘abducted’ by Li Tianming, was Miao Cangtian’s daughter, and therefore had nothing to do with them, so they remained aloof.

Their goal, after all, was to enter the Ancient Star Gate.

“Miao Qing,” Bai Daxingji said privately to the young man, “Go and investigate. What’s the meaning of this curse on him? I’ve heard that the caster of the curse can use it to locate him at any time.”

“Yes.”

Miao Qing was also troubled by this. Previously, they’d assumed this person was Li Tianming of the Dong Dao Sect, and therefore the curse had a proper explanation.

But now it was clear that this guy wasn’t from the Dong Dao Sect at all!

“Lin Feng,” Miao Qing approached, his attitude quite friendly. “Since you’re not from the Eternal Dao Sect, who cast the curse on you?”

“Zhao Yuanming,” Li Tianming casually said.

The expressions of those from the Wonderful Divine Sect changed slightly upon hearing this name.

“He can find you! And you’re looking for the Ancient Star Gate to show them the way?” Miao Qing frowned.

Li Tianming smiled and said, “Do you think I’m a fool, or do you think Zhao Yuanming is the fool? If I want to guide the way, do I need something as obvious as a Taoist spell, something glowing on my body? I can easily give him directions.”

“Then if Zhao Yuanming follows with a Taoist spell, wouldn’t that be a big problem?” Miao Qing’s frown deepened.

He knew his father would definitely ask the same question, but his mother suddenly had an emergency, and Miao Cangtian had to rush over, temporarily letting it slip.

The other Wonderful Divine Sect members, upon hearing this, looked at Li Tianming with burning eyes.

“Don’t worry,” Li Tianming suddenly smiled. “Zhao Yuanming is dead. No one can track me with a Taoist spell now.”

“How can you be sure he’s dead?” Miao Qing asked in disbelief.

“When he cast the Dao spell on me, it seems a Muwa ghost targeted him and devoured him in one gulp. If my flesh weren’t so small, the Muwa ghost wouldn’t have been interested, and I’d probably be gone.” Li Tianming looked at Miao Qing. “Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. I killed Li Tianming of the Dongdao Sect, and yet I’m still safe and sound. This proves Zhao Yuanming is dead.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the Miaoshen Sect looked at each other in bewilderment. No one spoke for a moment, unsure whether to believe or not.

“Wait until my parents return,” Miao Qing could only say to the two Great Star Priests.

They nodded silently.

“How could someone like Zhao Yuanming really die?”

“What a hasty death.”

“But that legendary Muwa ghost is truly terrifying. I never thought it existed…”

“It’s the most ferocious creature in the first level of the Galaxy Ancient Tomb.”

The mention of the Muwa ghost truly terrified them.

The group continued to wait in silence.

During this time, the two Grand Star Priests received several communication stones. The people on the other side urged them, scolded them, and used threats and inducements. The two Grand Star Priests were in great trouble and could only delay as much as possible.

“Zhong Miao Galaxy, Zhong Miao Divine Gate… It sounds like our Zhong Miao Divine Gate should be the overlord of the Zhong Miao Galaxy, so why do we seem to be so inferior?” Li Tianming casually asked Miao Lian, but he was actually asking Bai Feng, who had all of Miao Lian’s memories.

Miaolian spoke softly, “It’s said that in ancient times, when the Zhongmiao Galaxy was still a seventh-level galaxy, the Zhongmiao Divine Sect unified the galaxy and became the sole power. Then, after several wars and the collapse of the galaxy’s status, our Zhongmiao Divine Sect was shattered, losing 90% of its strength, and fell to its present state. Today, the Zhongmiao Galaxy has five top-level sects, and our Zhongmiao Divine Sect is one of them. The other four sects actually branched off from the ancient Zhongmiao Divine Sect. Although we are the root, they have now grown into powerful forces and naturally claim to be the orthodox Zhongmiao sect, thus the struggle for orthodoxy.”

“No wonder this ancient star gate dispute is so crucial to you. So the winner who obtains more inheritance can be called the orthodox?” Li Tianming smiled faintly.

“Indeed,” Miaolian said.

Their conversation was actually meant for the others to hear, subtly reinforcing Miaolian’s status as the “legitimate leader.” This way, no one knew she was faking it. Furthermore, from their tone, it became clear that Li Tianming treated Miaolian well.

The history of the Zhongmiao Galaxy was logically simple: once a single, dominant sect, it was now divided into five equally powerful sects. As the nominally legitimate Zhongmiao Divine Sect, the other four didn’t acknowledge it, thus only enjoying a nominal advantage.

“So, while we’re currently collaborating to open the Ancient Star Gate, once competition erupts, it could be a bloodbath.”

Thinking of this, Li Tianming understood why Miao Cangtian preferred not to open the Ancient Star Gate rather than lose further strength. If they lost, it would be better to maintain the status quo; at least they wouldn’t be swallowed up.

“What are the other four sects? What are their characteristics?”

Taking advantage of the time, Li Tianming pretended to be affectionate while gaining a detailed understanding. After all, he would soon encounter members of these four sects.

“Our Zhong Miao Galaxy is a galaxy of exceptionally pure Phantom God cultivators. The ancient Zhong Miao Divine Sect once possessed an incredibly complex and profound Phantom God heritage. Although now divided into five sects, they all rely on Phantom Gods as their foundation, with few other cultivation systems.”

“Among them, these four major sects each represent a distinct category of Phantom Gods.”

“For example, Jiu Xiao Qing Luan Que primarily cultivates beast-type Phantom Gods, enabling them to achieve the same effects as Beast Tamers, even with greater control, greater strength, more comprehensiveness, and greater balance, unlike the inherent weakness of Beast Tamers.”

“And the ‘Wan Jie Xing Tang Palace’ primarily cultivates flower-type Phantom Gods, emphasizing everlasting life.”

Hearing this, Li Tianming suddenly remembered Miao Dao’s Phantom God, which resembled a gigantic cosmic flower.

He wondered if Miao Dao’s Phantom God was the same as that of Wan Jie Xing Tang Palace.

Then why wasn’t she from Wan Jie Xing Tang Palace?

He didn’t ask, but waited for Miao Lian to continue. Bai Feng was also absorbing Miao Lian’s memories, revealing everything she knew.

“Then there’s the ‘Tongtian Jianmu Alliance’. They specialize in tree-type phantom gods. They have a majestic aura, and one person can become a cosmic forest, integrating offense and defense.”

“Finally, there’s the ‘Taixu Refining Star Tower’. They specialize in star-type phantom gods. They have extremely strong attack and killing capabilities, and they also have some orthodox elements from the ancient Zongmiao Divine Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tianming couldn’t help but ask, “Then what type of phantom gods does our Zongmiao Divine Sect specialize in?”

“We are orthodox! Naturally, we have everything!” Miao Qing seemed to be standing far away, but was actually listening to them. At this time, he couldn’t help but replied proudly.
