Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6777

6686: Breakthrough First

“Huh?”

As they journeyed, Li Tianming was struck by the profound impact this Ascension Gate assessment had on him.

He had only just decided which ‘Emperor Way’ he would employ for this first stage of the assessment, and had only just begun to put it into practice, when he hadn’t expected it to actually benefit the Imperial Origin Avenue.

The cracks in the Imperial Origin Avenue had already begun to show signs of repairing.

“This means the path I’m taking now is the right one.”

“At least it proves to be right for me at this stage.”

“The people ruled by the Emperor are the most fundamental attribute of all beings in the universe. Where there are resources, there is competition; where there is competition, there is fighting and conquest; where there is conquest, there is control. The fundamental relationship between people is that of superiors and subordinates, and the pinnacle of this strict hierarchy is the Emperor.”

“Therefore, the Emperor’s Way is also the pinnacle of all laws in the universe. Whether it’s the Primordial Great Way, the Heavenly Infant, or Order, they are all derived from these laws and follow this path.”

“My previous understanding of the Emperor’s Way was based on the Emperor’s system of beings, and therefore broader and more expansive. However, for the most basic interpersonal submission and appointment, more experience and practice are still required.”

This is why Li Tianming began to repair the cracks in his Emperor’s Primordial Great Way as soon as he had some ideas.

“Rest where you are,”

Li Tianming said to Ling Ling, Lei Zha, Zhao Yan, and the others. Currently, there were exactly ten people following him, primarily seventh and eighth-rank Primordial Cosmic Gods of All Things.

“Yes, Brother Tianming,”

they all nodded.

While Li Tianming wasn’t necessarily older, it was convenient for them to address him this way!

Seeing Li Tianming sitting cross-legged in this chaotic place, the group had varying expressions. The more sensible ones had already dispersed to keep watch for Li Tianming.

“Ling Ling,”

Zhao Yan quietly approached Ling Ling. Seeing no one around, he whispered, “What are your plans next?”

“Me?” Ling Ling was startled. “I don’t have any plans?”

“Don’t you want to find someone who truly has a chance of joining the Tiandi Sect, fight for them, and build a good relationship with them? My parents both said that if they couldn’t join the Tiandi Sect themselves, they had to find that kind of person. Later, even if he didn’t become the Young Emperor and didn’t need to build his own army, having the connections of a Tiandi Sect disciple would be very beneficial,” Zhao Yan said with a slight warmth in his eyes.

“Oh.” Ling Ling showed little interest in what he was saying.

“No, what do you mean?” Zhao Yan turned around and glanced at Li Tianming in the distance, “This person has a weird system and an unknown origin, and is obviously not a good person. Since you and I are determined to follow someone, we must look for another one next time, right?” “

Looking for another one while still having a donkey?” Ling Ling didn’t expect him to use this term here. She looked at Zhao Yan for a while, shook her head and said, “You can look for it yourself. He saved my life and I can’t betray him.”

“Are you crazy?” Zhao Yan was speechless, “Are you in love? What are you imagining? Didn’t you see that he also recruited those beasts from the Bone Nether Galaxy? It means he doesn’t care about you at all, understand?”

Ling Ling frowned and looked at him, “You are really incomprehensible. I don’t want to say more to you.”

“You!” Zhao Yan glared at her angrily, “I tell you this because I trust you, Ling Ling, you don’t have to rebel with me, but if you tell Li Tianming about this conversation, I and our family will never let you go!”

Ling Ling glanced at him coldly and walked away.

“What a clown girl.” Zhao Yan sneered and looked at Li Tianming again. “It’s hilarious. Who are you? How can you use carrot and stick? When I find the right followers, I will report you as soon as possible for having more than a dozen imperial decrees in your pocket!”

Next to Li Tianming.

An Ning protected Li Tianming as a star puppet.

With Yin Chen around, these people actually had no secrets in Li Tianming’s eyes.

“Should I kill him now?” An Ning asked with a chuckle.

“For what reason?” Li Tianming asked.

“He wanted to hurt you.” An Ning said as a matter of course.

“Did he do it? No, so no one except Ling Ling knew. And if I kill him now, what will others think?” Li Tianming asked.

“Do you care what others think?” An Ning asked with some confusion.

“Actually, I don’t care,” Li Tianming smiled. “But if I consider this small team a larger society, then I have to care. Without the system of the Emperor’s beings, I’d need to convince everyone, to be disciplined, not incomprehensible.”

“In short, things need to be structured, authoritative, and well-defined… But without Yin Chen, and lacking strength, wouldn’t your approach be much more dangerous?” An Ning asked.

“The problem is, I have Yin Chen, and I’m strong enough.” Li Tianming chuckled. “Anyway, use it flexibly.”

“You’re just good at talking!” An Ning snorted.

“Not as good as your mouth.”

“???”

Li Tianming ignored her rage and sighed deeply. “In fact, in my imperial way, in this world of cosmic cultivation, my own strength must be strong. This is the first principle, the most important thing. All other principles must be built around this. A cosmic emperor without strength, relying solely on personal qualities and rewards and punishments, can’t control territory and make everyone work for him? It’s a pipe dream.”

Therefore, for Li Tianming, if he wanted to control this team, strength was the foundation.

The others are branches, leaves, and flowers.

Only with roots can the rest be nourished.

“Strength…very good!”

With these thoughts in mind, Li Tianming could clearly sense that the cracks in the Emperor’s Origin Great Dao at this stage had almost healed.

In reality, these cracks weren’t a big deal.

They merely hindered Li Tianming’s surge in strength.

And it just so happened that this Ascension Gate test would provide him with some foundational experience.

“Let’s break through first.”

At this point, Li Tianming had already refined the other Origin Great Daos to the fifth or sixth level. The only thing holding him back was the Emperor’s Path.

Now that the cracks had lessened, Li Tianming couldn’t wait any longer. Pressing the Imperial Order on his chest, he drew out several Star Ancestor Great Daos nearing the twelfth level and channeled them into his mouth for refinement.

“It’s the aura of the Star Ancestor Great Dao!”

“He actually brought a Star Ancestor Great Dao into the Ascension Gate test!!”

The ten followers around him instantly sensed the vast aura of the Star Ancestor Great Dao. They turned around and stared at Li Tianming in a daze, their expressions shifting dramatically.

Zhao Yan, in particular, was struggling to breathe.

His eyes were naturally a little fanatical.

Li Tianming holds the inheritance treasure of a seventh-level galaxy, which is only one level lower than the Tiandi Sect.
