Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6962

Chapter 6872: Someone Else

After collecting everyone’s Sumeru Rings, Li Tianming and Zizhen headed towards the Jiuli Ship, temporarily ignoring those trapped by the Dao Formation.

The people of the Heavenly Emperor Sect recognized Li Tianming and were all extremely excited, unable to contain their emotions even after his departure.

Meanwhile, other cultivators from various star systems were puzzled, feeling that these Heavenly Emperor Sect prodigies seemed to hold Li Tianming in excessive reverence.

This behavior was quite different from their previous arrogant attitude towards the Heavenly Emperor Sect disciples.

“The Heavenly Emperor Sect? You and this young man are all geniuses of the Heavenly Emperor Sect?”

“And who is Li Tianming? Why are you all so excited to see this young man, even more so than when you saw that Purple Blood Clan expert?”

“Exactly, it seems you don’t even have the same level of respect for that expert.”

One of the Heavenly Emperor Sect female disciples in white rolled her eyes and said, “Compared to Junior Brother Li, who dares to call themselves a genius? There are differences even among the disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect!”

“Oh? So he has quite a background. Could it be that he is a super genius from one of the nine guardian imperial clans?” Someone in the crowd asked curiously.

The white-robed female disciple shook her head and said, “No, never mind. Anyway, since we’re all trapped in the Dao Formation, we might as well introduce him to you.”

A Heavenly Venerable expert asked doubtfully, “I really want to hear who this person is who can impress all of you Heavenly Emperor Sect geniuses.”

This speaker was one of the main forces in the battle just now, an old man from the Hunyuan Clan in black.

The female disciple said calmly, “This Li Tianming comes from a level nine star system.”

A murmur rippled through the crowd.

“A level nine star system? What kind of geniuses could come from there?”

“A remote, impoverished place like that could never produce a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. I don’t believe it.”

“Those of you who can enter the Heavenly Emperor Sect are indeed exceptionally talented, but there’s no need to treat everyone like fools

, is there?” “Exactly! We just lack cultivation talent; we’re not some kind of born mentally challenged idiot. You’re going too far.”

They were all somewhat annoyed, feeling a sense of being mocked.

The female disciple smiled and said, “But he once defeated Jiang Beichen of the Divine Ruins Imperial Clan, who was ranked eighth in the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect at his age.”

“How is that possible?” Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

The female disciple puffed out her chest and raised her head, as if she were proud of Li Tianming’s extraordinary talent.

“There is absolutely no need to doubt this matter. If I dare to spread rumors about the genius of the Imperial Clan and affect his reputation, I will never be allowed to return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect. If I go back, I will definitely be punished.”

After hearing this, everyone was indeed convinced to some extent, but they were still very shocked.

The female disciple continued, “You should know that the number of geniuses guarding the imperial clans is far more than nine. In other words, he has already trampled countless imperial clan geniuses under his feet.”

Everyone was shocked. “Defeating top geniuses with a background from a level nine star system? How is that possible?”

The female disciple from the Heavenly Emperor Sect spread her hands and said, “At first, no one believed it. They even tried to bully him because of his level nine star system background, thinking he had no backing. But guess what happened in the end?”

She didn’t keep them in suspense any longer, but clapped her hands and said, “A family with four Heavenly Venerables targeting him was destroyed. A family with a Heavenly Venerable or higher expert tried to assassinate him, and that family is also destroyed now.”

“So, now everyone in the Heavenly Emperor Sect knows that he definitely has an extremely powerful backer!”

“Although they can’t compare to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, some of the guarding imperial clans are now trying to befriend him instead of suppressing this monstrous genius.”

“All of this is due to the heaven-defying actions he has taken since joining the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

The female disciple secretly observed that Li Tianming and the others had already gone far away before she dared to continue.

“So, the super-strong Celestial Venerable before you is most likely just a maid who raised him from childhood, far from being his true backer.”

“The real top-tier expert is someone else entirely!”

The crowd trembled again, their eyes wide, mouths agape, faces filled with terror!

“So… he has a backer that even Celestial Venerables and above fear, and he himself possesses talent that ranks among the top in the Guardian Imperial Clan?”

“How does this align with a Level 9 star system? Are you kidding me!”

The female disciple shrugged. “It’s the truth. I’m only telling you this because I’m bored. Whether you believe it or not is none of my business.”

Those who survived the ‘Ancient Ruins Deception’ were all horrified, unable to believe how terrifying this being was!

…

At this moment, Li Tianming had already entered through the opening that Zi Zhen had initially torn open on the Jiuli Ship.

Yin Chen had already spread to every corner inside, and naturally knew the location where the Jiuli Elder had been in control of the Jiuli Ship.

So Li Tianming and Zizhen wandered around the Jiuli Ship until they arrived at a private room.

The room was exquisitely decorated, completely different from the cabin Li Tianming and the others had been in on the Jiuli Ship.

“This old man really knows how to enjoy himself,” Sui Shenyao remarked.

Inside, there was an image that allowed them to observe the outside world, showing a jade portrait lying in a corner, its body sealed by the ‘Limitless Cage,’ and a hidden compartment.

“The things Jiuli stole are here,”

Yin Chen led Li Tianming to the hidden compartment. Although it was protected by a Dao array, its level wasn’t very high, and it couldn’t withstand Li Tianming’s Heaven-Stealing Hand.

The main reason was that if the Jiuli Elder himself wasn’t dead, basically no one could enter this place, so it wasn’t heavily guarded.

Li Tianming took out all the Sumeru Rings inside and then inventoried all the items seized from the Jiuli Elder, his followers, and the survivors’ Sumeru Rings.

“There are hundreds of Heavenly Venerable Great Daos, plus other Dao treasures, battle Dao techniques, and countless low-level Primordial Great Daos and other resources. This is wealth that no Heavenly Venerable expert could possess.”

“Indeed, interstellar pirates, who have no sense of morality, are incredibly good at accumulating wealth. However, this kind of business is too easy to get themselves into, unable to extricate themselves, until they encounter a ruthless person and capsize.” Li Tianming sighed.

And now, this ruthless person was none other than Li Tianming, who brought Zizhen.

After putting away all these gains, Li Tianming turned his gaze to the jade image in the corner.

“Bound so uniquely?”

The Nine Li Elder was dead, and the Limitless Cage was no longer under anyone’s control, but it still maintained the state of sealing the jade image.

Since it was unclaimed, Li Tianming could naturally untie it.

Li Tianming pulled on the several snakes that were biting each other, and these pitch-black snakes released their mouths, transforming back into the original form of the Limitless Cage in Li Tianming’s hand.
