Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6766

Daoists

“Silence!”

Li Muyun frowned slightly at the whispers behind her back, and with a cold, delicate shout, the geniuses gradually quieted down.

Then, Li Muyun looked at An Ning, who was standing beside Li Tianming.

“Star Puppet?”

Given her strength, it was no surprise that she could immediately discern An Ning’s true nature.

“Star Puppet!”

As soon as Li Muyun finished speaking, a red-haired young man nearby immediately fixed his gaze on An Ning.

He then formed hand seals, his previously dark eyes flashing with a light as he looked at Li Tianming with a hint of surprise. “Are you a Star Puppet Master?”

He then stepped forward and said with a smile, “My name is Xiuxing, and I come from a family of eighth-level Star Puppet Masters in the galaxy. Fellow Daoist, your Star Puppet seems different from ordinary Star Puppet Masters.”

Xiuxing smiled, but his gaze kept lingering on An Ning.

It wasn’t a look of desire, but rather one of admiring a perfect work of art.

Fellow Daoist?

Apparently, this is how colleagues in the outer galaxies address each other?

Daobao Daozhou, even friends have become Daoists.

“My name is Li Tianming,”

Li Tianming replied to Su Xing calmly, then turned to Li Muyun. “Master Li, do you need any other proof?”

“No.”

Seeing that Li Tianming showed no interest in explaining, Li Muyun didn’t ask further.

However, she became curious about Li Tianming.

This man was not only from the Divine Ghost Clan, the Hunyuan Clan, and the Jiexing Clan, but was also a Star Puppet Master.

Star Puppet Masters are renowned for refining Star Puppets. While the lower limit is low, the upper limit is very high.

For example, Su Xing’s family possessed a Star Puppet at the Daozu Realm, making them a top-tier power in a Level 8 galaxy.

It was a pity that Li Tianming’s cultivation was too diverse. If he had specialized in one, he might have achieved considerable success.

However, cultivating so many different systems multiplied the difficulty, not just adding one to the other.

Furthermore, Li Tianming came from a Level 9 galaxy. Even with his exceptional talent, cultivating so many systems simultaneously would have been difficult to achieve.

Diversification without mastery is a major taboo in cultivation.

Having thought of this, Li Muyun stopped paying attention to Li Tianming and continued to check the profiles of others.

Suddenly, she glanced at someone in the crowd, a flash of surprise in her eyes.

“Are you from the Shenxu tribe?”

Hearing this, everyone followed Li Muyun’s gaze and saw a burly, naive young man in the crowd looking around in confusion.

Finally, confirming that Li Muyun was talking about him, he stepped out, touched his head, and said with a silly smile, “Master Li, my name is Pan Yan, and I have Shenxu blood.”

“He’s actually from the Shenxu tribe!”

Everyone exclaimed, looking at Pan Yan with envy.

“The Shenxu Clan is a dominant clan. Their power has even reached the pinnacle of a seventh-level galaxy, just one step away from reaching a sixth-level galaxy.”

“Although not as strong as the Tiandi Sect, their clan’s power is unmatched by any other clan present. Only a few peerless geniuses can rival them.”

“It seems this trial is going to be a tough one. Even members of the Shenxu Clan are showing up.”

“What are you afraid of? Anyone who can make it into the top ten thousand can enter the Tiandi Sect. I doubt I can’t make it into the top ten thousand.”

“…”

“You’re quite capable. If you pass the ordinary disciple trial, I can recommend you to the Grand Master.”

Li Muyun was delighted. She hadn’t expected a Shenxu Clan prodigy to be in the children’s group she was in charge of.

If Pan Yan could demonstrate his talent in the trial, she would stand to gain considerable benefits from recommending him to the Grand Master.

“Thank you, Grand Master Li!”

Pan Yan was overjoyed to be recommended to the Grand Master and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

The other geniuses cast envious glances at Pan Yan, and quite a few even approached him, seemingly intent on forming a friendship.

“Alright, you wait a little while. I’ll let you know when we arrive at the trial grounds,”

Li Muyun chuckled and nodded, then slipped away.

“Brother Pan Yan, I’m also from a Level 7 star system, a member of the Star God Clan. We can look out for each other at the trial grounds.”

“Brother Pan Yan, I’m from…”

Soon, a number of geniuses gathered around Pan Yan, and their attitude towards him was vastly different from their attitude towards Li Tianming.

“The ways of the world are indispensable everywhere,”

Li Tianming observed, shaking his head and laughing. He sighed softly, then decided to find a place for An Ning to wait.

But then, the red-haired Star Puppet Master stepped forward.

“Fellow Daoist Li, as fellow Star Puppet Masters, why don’t we travel together through the trial grounds?”

Su Xing then added, “Don’t underestimate this Kaitianmen Trial. It’s incredibly dangerous. Of the millions of people who undergo it, I’m afraid less than one in ten will emerge alive.”

“So, if you want to survive, having a good teammate to lead the way is essential.”

As he spoke, Su Xing unconsciously radiated his aura, his whole demeanor radiating pride.

At the same time, a burly figure appeared beside him.

It was a Star Puppet, its aura comparable to that of a peak-level All-Creation Originator, just one step away from reaching the Star Ancestor realm.

However, the Star Puppet looked lifeless, its eyes glazed over, a mere corpse.

“Fellow Daoist Su Xing, you’re welcome,”

Li Tianming said politely, glancing at the Star Puppet.

He didn’t refuse, nor did he agree.

He knew Su Xing had an ulterior motive, and it was most likely because of An Ning.

But Su Xing wanted to use Li Tianming, and so did Li Tianming want to use him?

Fortunately, he wasn’t familiar with the Kaitianmen Trial, so he could get some information from Su Xing.

“Then, if Fellow Daoist Li agrees, here’s my communication stone. When you enter the trial grounds, feel free to contact me,”

Su Xing said with a smile, and the two exchanged the communication stone.

Meanwhile, Pan Yan, surrounded by so many stars, approached.

“Brother, I like you. Besides, I also come from a ninth-level star system,”

Pan Yan said with a naive smile, revealing his white teeth, giving the impression of a man without any scheming.

As he spoke, he also took out the communication stone: “Brother, if you trust me, we can team up later.”

This made Su Xing frown slightly, but when he thought of Pan Yan’s identity, he just snorted and walked over to sit down.

“Thank you.”

Li Tianming smiled and exchanged the communication stone with Pan Yan.

“Hey, brother, can you tell me how you manage to cultivate three bodies together?”

Seeing Li Tianming accept the communication stone, Pan Yan leaned in and whispered, his face full of curiosity.

“Well, it’s an ancestral talent!”

Li Tianming explained a few words casually and began to tease.

Pan Yan was indeed a straightforward person. He answered everything Li Tianming asked, without any intention of hiding anything.

And Li Tianming also asked the key information.

“Xiaojiu has been designated an Eternal Emperor Beast by a group called the ‘Great God Ancestor Society’ within the Heavenly Emperor Sect. He’s currently sleeping in the Imperial Palace, is he alright?”

“And the people of the Heavenly Emperor Sect seem very concerned about Xiaojiu. They have no intention of forcibly waking him or interrupting him, but are instead actively protecting him…”

Upon hearing this news, Li Tianming’s heart finally settled.

As long as Xiaojiu was alright, everything would be fine.

Now, he could just focus on participating in the Kaitian Gate and entering the Heavenly Emperor Sect first, then find a chance to visit Xiaojiu.
