Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6952

Chapter 6862: The Formless Jade Clan!

“The truly intelligent members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect would at least have put away their disciple tokens or other identity tokens, so there must be many more members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect lurking in the shadows, and not just disciples.” Li Tianming’s thoughts ran even deeper.

For Li Tianming, concealment was even more crucial. Putting away his disciple token wasn’t enough; his highly recognizable appearance would also expose his identity.

After all, his current position within the Heavenly Emperor Sect was rather delicate. For the sect’s higher-ups, Li Tianming having such a powerful backer wasn’t necessarily a good thing, as it also meant he was difficult to control. Given

the many people who disliked him, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t try to harm him. It was difficult to act within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and if he were targeted outside the sect, he would have to flee to another planet, essentially abandoning the treasure hunt.

Therefore, he remained in the void of the cosmic stars throughout, not appearing before anyone. To the members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, it was as if he had vanished into thin air after participating in the Young Emperor Trial.

He waited in place for a moment… A thick streak of light, like a long dragon, rushed towards the crowd from afar, abruptly stopping just before reaching them.

Boom ! Countless vortexes and shockwaves swept around as the massive object stopped, but those present, all geniuses and powerful figures, were unaffected. After the aura subsided, what appeared before them was a colossal spaceship, resembling a galactic fortress. Hundreds of planet-destroying cannons adorned the ship, their dazzling muzzles, brimming with cosmic ray power, sending shivers down their spines. Countless rare and sturdy minerals, radiating brilliant starlight, were combined through Dao arrays to form the seemingly indestructible hull of the spaceship. Not only was it designed for combat, but its sheer size was also immense, enough to accommodate the large group of people densely packed outside the Line Source Walkway. Upon seeing the arrival of this spaceship, countless people began to murmur and discuss it. “It’s here! The ferry has arrived! Is this the Wutian-class cosmic starship, the Jiuli? It’s truly magnificent…” “Such a cosmic starship must be incredibly valuable. It’s actually appearing in a level nine star system—who owns it?” “It’s said that the owner of the Jiuli is called the Jiuli Elder. We only know he’s very old and not from the Jiuli star system; no one knows anything else about him.” “So mysterious?” After the Jiuli came to a stop, everyone boarded the cosmic starship, including Li Tianming, who was mixed in with the crowd. This cosmic starship certainly wasn’t there to carry people on treasure hunts for free. Before boarding the Jiuli, everyone had to pay a Primordial Dao as a ticket. A female voice, almost devoid of emotion, echoed from within the Jiuli, “Those who wish to go to the Wuxu Palace must pay their Dao before boarding the Jiuli. Anyone who tries to deceive us will be killed!” The last word carried a chilling aura, as if a super-powerful being had roared it with murderous intent, causing many to involuntarily shiver. Not wanting to lose more than they gained, everyone obediently handed over their Primordial Dao to the young man in black standing at the cabin door before boarding the Jiuli Ship. The Jiuli Ship only collected Dao of relatively low grade; any Dao would suffice. However, the sheer quantity made it a terrifying fortune! Of course, Li Tianming didn’t need to hand over his Dao. While in a state of suspended animation within the void universe, he swaggered into the Jiuli Ship. Passing the young man in black, his appetite was tempted, but he ultimately restrained himself. “Don’t cause any trouble. Besides, these Daos are too low-grade; they’re useless to me,” Li Tianming admonished himself. In the blink of an eye, the Jiuli Ship had fully accommodated everyone. Upon entering, Li Tianming discovered a hidden world within. The Jiuli Ship was not only vast but also incredibly magnificent. They arrived at an enormous main cabin. Inside , starlight bathed their feet in a dazzling glow, and overhead, a dreamlike haze of light refracted from various luminous star minerals, hung overhead. “Truly luxurious,” Sui Shenyao exclaimed in surprise. Li Tianming found a quiet spot to sit down, away from the noisy crowds. Time passed slowly as he waited patiently for the Jiuli Ship to depart for the Chaotic Palace. “Aunt, how long will it take to reach the Chaotic Palace?” Li Tianming asked listlessly. “It’ll probably take about a hundred years to reach our destination,” Aurora replied. “That long?” Li Tianming asked in surprise. Aurora said gently, “Of course, that’s only if we’re using this valuable Wutian-class spaceship; otherwise, it would take even longer.” “Alright, then I’ll just have to use this time to consolidate the gains from the Young Emperor Tower,” Li Tianming said helplessly. He then entered a meditative state, trying to sort out the principles of the two thousand Great Daos. Soon, nearly a hundred years passed, and the Jiuli Ship was finally nearing its destination. At this moment, Li Tianming opened his eyes, and a flash of imperial might appeared on his body. After Li Tianming finished sorting through and digesting all the Daoist principles, Yin Chen spoke up, “I’ve found a… special… person. Want to see them?” Li Tianming raised an eyebrow, then asked curiously, “Oh? Take me to see just how special they are.” Since Yin Chen had spoken, they must be extraordinary. Following Yin Chen’s guidance, Li Tianming navigated the crowded cabin, finally arriving at a corner. There stood a person completely wrapped in white bandages, obscuring their true appearance, but under Li Tianming’s Eye of Heaven, nothing could hide. Under the Eye of Heaven’s observation, beneath the white bandages lay a body like white jade, flawless and crystalline. The physical condition wasn’t particularly remarkable; after all, some cultivators couldn’t reproduce due to vastly different bloodlines, so some differences were normal. But most importantly, they had no facial features! Generally, most living beings possess facial features, even hellish demons like the Primordial Demon! Therefore, this person’s state was very strange. He was like a sculpted white jade humanoid sculpture, yet the power of the God of the Universe within him was undeniable. Li Tianming could sense that the other party was a living being, and one with immense strength! He communicated with Aurora and Yin Chen telepathically, informing them of the appearance beneath the bandages. After a moment, Yin Chen said, “This is… the Formless Jade Clan!” “Belongs to… the Ghost Gods!” Yin Chen exclaimed in shock. Seeing Yin Chen’s surprise, Li Tianming asked in astonishment, “Is there anything special about this Ghost God Clan?”

Aurora then spoke up, “Their clan is very mysterious, like the Divine Ruins Imperial Clan. They rarely appear in public, so few people ever see their members.”

Li Tianming’s eyes flickered as he observed further, making another discovery.

Hidden beneath the clothing of the young Wuxiang Jade Clan member was a disciple’s plaque from the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

“This is a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat surprised.

Upon closer inspection, Li Tianming saw the characters on the plaque and murmured, “Yu…Zhao?”

Aurora exclaimed in surprise, “It’s him?!”

“Auntie, who is this?” Li Tianming asked.

Aurora immediately explained, “Yu Zhao is fifth on the Ten Thousand Emperors Ranking, considered a super genius of the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

Li Tianming was astonished. “This person is quite bold, coming here alone without any elders protecting him. As one of the top geniuses, he actually came here on his own.”

Throughout the entire Nine Li Ship, all the younger members were accompanied by elders; after all, those who grow up are the true geniuses.

Their family didn’t want their genius to die so easily, but this Yu Zhao was different.

He merely concealed his supernatural features and put away his disciple’s token before daring to come alone to this dangerous treasure-hunting place.
