Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7018

Chapter 6928: Let the Sword Fly a Little Longer

This voice, amplified by the massive image above the Primordial Lung and the Myriad Emperors Palace, resounded far and wide.

Boom—!!

At that moment, it was as if a giant rock had been thrown into the water of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, causing it to explode completely!

The entire Heavenly Emperor Sect, including the Myriad Emperors Palace, was abuzz with discussion among its disciples.

“Li Tianming is going to conquer a star system! How old is he?”

“Age doesn’t matter. With his strength and status, he’s long since reached the standard to wage war.”

“But will anyone follow him? As far as I know, he’s made quite a few bad connections, and it’s already difficult to get Heavenly Emperor Sect disciples to willingly become his subordinates.”

“Never mind, let’s go see!”

Li Muyun said excitedly, her eyes welling up with tears. “Has this day finally come?”

She had watched Li Tianming grow since he joined the Heavenly Emperor Sect, so seeing him reach this level filled her with excitement!

Inside the Young Emperor Palace, the Tower Master of the Ink Feather Tower connected to a communication star tower, from which came an excited female voice.

“Mo Yu! Li Tianming is temporarily leaving the Heavenly Emperor Sect. We can’t worry about anything outside the sect, so there’s no need to be anxious.”

This person was none other than Zhao Ziyue!

Mo Yu remained silent for a long time before finally replying calmly, “Yes, that’s good.”

After saying that, he hung up the communication tower, recalling everything that had happened since he met Li Tianming, including his embarrassing journey through the Little Chaos Galaxy.

He chuckled lightly and sighed, “You’ve grown so fast. Meeting you is a blessing for me, isn’t it?”

Inside the Myriad Emperors Palace, after the mystery was revealed, Yu Zhao and the others suddenly understood.

They weren’t very surprised that Li Tianming was preparing to conquer the star system, but they hadn’t expected him to make this decision at such a convenient time.

Huan Sheng sneered, “Wishful thinking! Do you think a loud voice can summon people? It’s not as simple as you think. Be careful, the grander the publicity, the more embarrassing the result.”

Jiang Beichen also frowned slightly, saying, “The hope is a bit slim, but I still hope Junior Brother Li can achieve his goal of gathering disciples. He deserves it!”

Yu Zhao remained silent; no one could see his expression, no one could guess his thoughts.

After the news of Li Tianming’s call for troops spread, everywhere was in an uproar, and countless people poured into the Wan Di Palace.

For a time, the scene was even more spectacular than when Li Tianming broke into the top 100 of the Wan Di Ranking.

Li Tianming continued to speak under the spotlight.

He knew that the proud disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect wouldn’t be swayed by just a few words.

His Hongmeng Lungs continued to throb, and Li Tianming said, “I look forward to having fellow disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect fight alongside me, to serve the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and to make contributions for Governor Wei! Who is willing?”

At this moment, he was taking advantage of the power of the Divine Path Alliance, which was one of the reasons Li Tianming joined the Divine Path Alliance.

Mentioning this name drew even more attention to Li Tianming’s appeal.

Inside the Myriad Emperors Palace, someone loudly questioned,

“This reason isn’t sufficient; it won’t convince us.”

“You are strong, but not enough to make us submit!”

“The banner of the Divine Path Alliance can rally many people outside the Heavenly Emperor Sect, but it won’t work within the Heavenly Emperor Sect!”

Li Tianming smiled slightly and said, “Everyone, please don’t rush. Give me a chance to convince you.”

The crowd’s voices quieted down a little.

“During the Ascension Gate assessment for entering the sect, I set a precedent by becoming the ‘Sole Emperor.’ Some of you may still know a little about what happened back then,”

someone in the audience responded. “Of course we know, but so what if I was the ‘Sole Emperor’? What does that mean to us? You need to tell us why we’re willing to follow you.”

Li Tianming smiled slightly and said, “Some people know, but most only know the general outline and don’t really understand the details from back then. Now I’ll explain the reasons to everyone.”

“First of all, in the area where I was in the Ascension Gate assessment, I had over 500,000 participants under my command, many of whom were qualified to become disciples of the Heavenly Emperor Sect.”

“They were all just as arrogant as you, yet they remained under my management without any riots, which shows that I have the ability to lead a group of geniuses at the Heavenly Emperor Sect disciple level.”

Someone scoffed, “So it seems that being able to lead an army of 500,000 is quite an achievement, but I think the reason is that those geniuses who reached the entry standard were spineless. You say they were arrogant? I don’t believe it.”

“The prerequisite for making us obey is at least attracting us to join, otherwise it’s all a lie!”

Li Tianming smiled. “Management is indeed a very complicated matter, but getting them to join my Heavenly Mandate Army and fight for me is very simple.”

“Arrogant! I’m actually more impressed with you now than I was just now,” someone said discontentedly.

“Tell me, how simple is it?” someone asked.

Li Tianming immediately pulled out a handful of Daos from his Sumeru Ring, all of them at the Dao Ancestor level.

Everyone’s eyes widened suddenly, their pupils shrinking to pinpoints, almost biting their tongues.

Dao Ancestor Daos in Li Tianming’s hands were as easy as grabbing a handful of sand from the earth.

This kind of thing was abundant for Li Tianming at this stage. Not to mention the accumulation of the Taixu Star Refining Tower itself, the generous contributions of the Li Tianyang family, the Demon Subduing family, the Nine Li Elder, and others combined, the amount was extremely terrifying.

When Li Tianming still had access to Dao Ancestor Daos, he only used a very small portion, after all, the absorption of Daos required consideration of compatibility.

Li Tianming tossed the Dao Ancestor’s Great Dao in his hand, causing everyone to tense up, fearing it would slip from his grasp.

Li Tianming calmly said, “My method is clear reward and punishment. Those who have rendered meritorious service will be rewarded with Great Dao, specifically Great Daos that resonate with their own origins and are of a sufficiently high grade. You can beg me for trashy Great Daos, but I won’t give them to you.”

That’s how arrogant he was!

Boom!!!

Instantly, the entire Ten Thousand Emperor Palace and the entire Heavenly Emperor Sect erupted in commotion.

“He’s actually using Great Daos as rewards? Where does he get so many Great Daos?”

“Even if he has powerful figures above the Heavenly Venerable level behind him who can provide some Great Daos, it’s not enough to justify such extravagance, is it?”

“If such treatment were truly available, I… I might actually be tempted.”

Some had already begun to waver.

Who could refuse a genuine Primordial Great Dao?

Especially those with talent but no background, or whose background was merely a weak ninth-level mother star system.

The method of acquiring the Primordial Great Dao is extremely important!

Huan Sheng and the others were also stunned. They really didn’t know much about the details of the ‘Sole Emperor’ incident back then.

Now, all they could say was, “Holy crap!”

So, this Li Tianming is the real young master?

A guardian imperial family with a prestigious lineage?

Don’t be ridiculous, no one’s family is as prestigious as Li Tianming’s!

Every word Li Tianming spoke resounded throughout the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

The news of the reward of the Great Dao for battle merits spread, and more people came to the Myriad Emperors Palace. Later, when it was too crowded, they gathered outside the Myriad Emperors Palace.

With no space available, all the surrounding Emperor Battle Platforms had their Dao formations canceled, and some people stood on them to continue watching Li Tianming’s speech.

However, even those who were tempted still had doubts.

“If I join the Heavenly Mandate Army, I might not be able to fight as the Young Emperor anymore. I am the hope of the entire mother star system, what should I do…”

Generally, those who hesitated like this were those who barely met the threshold of becoming the Young Emperor. They carried the hopes of their people, aiming to become kings of the star system, not to be vassals of others!

Those above the threshold for becoming a young emperor remain unmoved, believing that the resources they would gain from conquering as a young emperor would be no less than those gained from serving Li Tianming.

Those below the threshold are also observing; since they’ll be following someone else anyway, they might as well compare offers carefully.

Many are paying attention, many are curious, and many are tempted.

However!

So far, not a single person has spoken up and decided to join the Tianming Army.

Wei Wuji, somewhat gloating, said, “Still no one wants to join your Heavenly Mandate Army. I gave you a chance to back out of the bet, but you didn’t cherish it.”

Li Tianming said calmly, “What’s there to cherish? I’ve already said it before, win or lose, no regrets. Besides, it’s not completely over yet.”

Wei Wuji sighed, “To be honest, these bargaining chips you’ve used to win people over are indeed quite substantial. Although I also want to win the bet, I feel these are enough to make people willingly join your Heavenly Mandate Army. It seems their arrogance is greater than I imagined.”

Li Tianming smiled slightly, “I’ve already witnessed the difficulty of recruiting geniuses in the Desolate Star System. Let the sword fly a little longer.”

However, at this moment,

a young man whose entire body was wrapped in white bandages, not a single inch of skin was exposed, not even the slits of his eyes, spoke up.

“I, Yuzhao, am willing to join the Heavenly Mandate Army!”
