Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7012

Chapter 6922: Nine Phoenixes!

The Minor Chaos Galaxy was above, so small it was almost invisible!

Li Tianming struggled to find it in a corner, a tiny speck of dust compared to the overall Heavenly Emperor’s map!

“Minor Chaos… so small,” Li Tianming exclaimed in surprise.

Reflecting on the scale of the real universe, Li Tianming felt even more awe at its vastness, seemingly without end!

These millions of galaxies were currently just galaxy clusters under the rule of a sixth-level galaxy, perhaps not even a speck of dust in the real universe, but enormous to Li Tianming at this stage!

Li Tianming felt a tremor in his heart, but he steadied himself and said in his mind, “One must take things one step at a time. Just focus on the current goal; thinking about the future is too far off.”

Wei Shendao looked at Li Tianming with approval, recognizing his clear understanding of his own strength. Seeing such a vast territory made him feel insignificant.

However, despite the awe, his confidence wasn’t shaken—a quality a genius with limitless potential should possess.

At this moment, Wei Wuji asked curiously, “Since the Heavenly Emperor’s map is so vast, wouldn’t there be many Holy Governors like Mother?”

Wei Shendao chuckled, “Where would so many Holy Governors come from? Although the Heavenly Emperor’s map is vast, there aren’t many Level 7 star systems, less than five hundred. So, those who can conquer a Level 7 star system and become a Holy Governor are less than five hundred people.”

“Wow, so Mother’s title of Holy Governor is so rare! Mother, you’re amazing!” Wei Wuji’s eyes shone with admiration.

Receiving Wei Wuji’s admiring gaze, Wei Shendao proudly raised her head and puffed out her chest, making the waves in front of her seem even more surging.

However, thinking that she had neglected her daughter’s childhood companionship in order to obtain the title of Holy Governor, she still felt a little guilty.

“May I ask, Governor Wei, what is the scope of the Divine Path Alliance’s rule?” Li Tianming asked.

This was related to his conquest of star systems, so he needed to know.

Although Yin Chen was there, the star systems shown on the Heavenly Emperor’s map were much more macroscopic and covered a larger area.

In short, referencing the Heavenly Emperor’s map, allowing Yin Chen to cover the area in a targeted manner would be more efficient and effective.

Upon hearing Li Tianming’s question, Wei Shendao pointed a finger towards a certain spot on the Heavenly Emperor’s map, saying, “This is the territory of my Divine Path Alliance, with my Divine Path Star System as its core.”

Li Tianming’s gaze followed her pointing.

It was an area divided by green borders, occupying a very clear region within the entire Heavenly Emperor’s map.

Within it, a quarter was a gray area, representing the star systems under Wei Shendao’s rule that were not yet fully under her control.

Besides the Divine Path Star System, a level seven star system, as its core, there were also some scattered level eight and level nine star systems, though level nine star systems were the majority.

At least for now, it seemed that the higher the level of the star system, the rarer it was.

Li Tianming spoke in his mind, “Xianxian.”

Within his companion space, Xianxian replied nonchalantly, “What is it?”

“Help me memorize this part,”

Xianxian said, hands on her hips. “Alright.”

With that, she began recording the Divine Path Star System’s control range and some surrounding star systems…

After showing Li Tianming and Wei Wuji the Heavenly Emperor’s map, Wei Shendao led them in one direction.

Before they could ask questions, Wei Shendao said gently, “I’ll take you to find the rotating officer of the Emperor’s Pavilion. Next, I’ll guide you through the procedures for establishing a legion.”

“Thank you, Governor Wei,” Li Tianming nodded.

On the way, Wei Shendao explained, “For the past thousand years, the rotating officer of the Emperor’s Pavilion has been named ‘Nine Phoenixes,’ a good friend of mine and also a Holy Governor.”

“It just so happens that she’s been around for the past thousand years; she can make an exception for you, which will be very beneficial for your future campaigns.”

“Then thank you, Governor Wei, for owing me this favor,” Li Tianming said respectfully, without refusing.

Li Tianming’s understanding pleased Wei Shendao. She smiled and waved her hand, saying, “It’s too formal for us to talk about such things.”

Wei Shendao had secured this backdoor for Li Tianming’s smooth campaign, so her reward was for his performance during the star system conquest, not for this excuse.

As for the form of the backdoor, it was still unknown, and Li Tianming wasn’t in a hurry; it would be revealed soon enough.

However, upon hearing that her name started with the number nine, Li Tianming asked curiously, “Could this Governor Jiu be a member of the Nine Star Imperial Clan?”

Wei Shendao smiled slightly and said, “That’s right. Jiu Huang is indeed a member of the Nine Star Imperial Clan. She has the title of ‘War Phoenix Empress’ of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. She is fierce and hot-tempered, a true heroine.”

She added, “When you meet her later, you’d better behave well. But if it’s you, I’m more at ease, since you’ve always been very well-behaved.”

Wei Shendao’s praise of Li Tianming’s ‘well-behaved’ made Li Tianming feel a little strange, but he didn’t dwell on it.

“In short, it’s about not making people angry, right? Asking for favors is the proper thing to do,” Li Tianming pondered.

Wei Shendao introduced Jiuhuang, and Aurora added in Li Tianming’s ear, “Wei Shendao and Jiuhuang are indeed two very famous regional governors of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. Their territories are very close, and the star systems controlled by the Jiuhuang Alliance and the Shendao Alliance are adjacent.”

Li Tianming responded in his mind, “Their territories are close, yet they can still be friends. This shows that their relationship is truly exceptional.”

Generally, there is more friction between neighboring countries than between them, and it is very rare for them to be able to maintain close friendly relations.

The duties of the rotating officials are handled in a place called ‘Quiet Hall’.

So at this moment, Li Tianming and Wei Wuji followed Wei Shendao to the ‘Quiet Hall’ managed by the rotating officials.

Although the Jiuhuang Saint Governor is a rotating official, the Heavenly Emperor Sect would not allow a top-level expert to handle a bunch of trivial matters.

Therefore, Jiu Huang usually doesn’t manage affairs; her subordinates handle them. This time, Wei Shendao had given Jiu Huang prior instructions, which is why she was able to get help from her.

Halfway there, Wei Shendao stopped being mysterious and explained, “I specifically brought you here to open this back door so that Jiu Huang could upgrade your military badge while you’re establishing your legion.”

Wei Wuji asked疑惑地, “Upgrade? What will that do?”

Wei Shendao patiently explained, “Although Tianming currently has a Divine Alliance military badge, its level is only one.”

Li Tianming proactively asked, “Governor Wei, what’s the difference between these levels?”
