Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7059

Chapter 6970: The Divine Treasure Cauldron!

The Wu Xuan Clan Emperor handed the challenge letter to Li Tianming, along with a small, jet-black cauldron that could fit in the palm of his hand.

This cauldron was exquisitely small, yet possessed a sharp edge, inscribed with numerous strange patterns; its body was clearly forged from Divine Treasure Stone.

“What is this?” Li Tianming asked, slightly surprised.

The Wu Xuan Clan Emperor solemnly replied, “Reporting to the Governor-General, this is the core of the Dao array of my Divine Treasure Old Capital, named the ‘Divine Treasure Small Cauldron,’ and it is also a Heavenly Venerable-level Dao treasure. I now present it to the Governor-General as a sign of submission.”

After signing the challenge letter and handing it to Li Tianming, his status was directly promoted from Military Lord to Junior Governor-General.

From then on, Li Tianming held a position within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, comparable to a Junior Imperial Tutor!

At this moment, one could feel the surging power of the Divine Treasure flowing within the small cauldron; this Dao treasure belonged to the upper-grade Heavenly Venerable level!

“Thank you for your trust,” Li Tianming smiled.

“We should thank the Governor-General for liberating the Little Divine Treasure Star System,” the elders hurriedly said.

Li Tianming accepted the challenge letter and the Divine Treasure Small Cauldron, putting both away—great gains from this trip!

At this moment, Aurora whispered beside Li Tianming, “With the Divine Treasure Small Cauldron, there must also be the Divine Treasure Large Cauldron, which resides in the Great Divine Treasure Star System.”

“This item’s significance surpasses its value as a Dao Treasure; it’s not only the core of a Dao Formation but also a symbol of power. The young Emperor Venerable was aiming for the Divine Treasure Large Cauldron.”

“I see, similar to the Imperial Seal?” Li Tianming replied.

He silently memorized this information about the Divine Treasure Large Cauldron.

Now, Li Tianming’s identity was that of a minor governor, a regional official, and having acquired the Divine Treasure Large Cauldron, he was practically an emperor to the Great Divine Treasure Star System under his rule.

Having completed the transfer of power, Li Tianming once again faced the Divine Treasure people of the old capital.

He proclaimed loudly, “From this moment on, the Little Divine Treasure Star System is incorporated into the territory of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. All members of the Divine Treasure Clan in the Little Divine Treasure Star System will receive the protection of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and no one will ever invade your homeland again!”

“If anyone from the Thirteen Star Systems dares to invade again, I and my Heavenly Mandate Army will ensure they never return!”

“From now on, all members of the Divine Treasure Clan can live in peace and prosperity, free from turmoil!”

“The Old Capital is liberated!”

Upon hearing this, the crowd rejoiced!

The members of the Divine Treasure Clan and the Heavenly Mandate Army became one, celebrating their victory together in a frenzy!

Li Tianming summoned Li Muyun and Mo Huan. Aurora, Sui Shenyao, and An Ning were also present.

“Imperial Tutor Li, and Tower Master Mo Huan,” Li Tianming greeted the two, then looked at Aurora and the others, saying, “Please assist them in recording the merits of the Heavenly Mandate Army in this battle.”

“No problem, we will do our best to help,” Li Muyun said gently with a smile.

They didn’t know how Li Tianming had done it either, and even though they were curious, they didn’t ask too many questions, instead silently assisting An Ning and the others.

Li Tianming had too many secrets, and knowing too much would be bad for them, so they were all very conscious of their actions.

Li Tianming then whispered to Aurora and the others, “You’ll have to work hard next time.”

Sui Shenyao made a face and said, “Yo yo~ The Cosmic Emperor is being so polite today?”

Thump!

Li Tianming tapped her on the head and said seriously, “You little Yao Yao, you’re always causing trouble, aren’t you?”

“Hmph! Little Li, you just wait.”

Sui Shenyao said fiercely, rubbing her head and running off angrily. Aurora was both

amused and exasperated, and followed him to tally the battle achievements.

At the same time, within the hair of An Ning, Sui Shenyao, and Aurora, there were tiny silver dust particles.

With the silver dust particles communicating at any time, they could naturally keep track of the Tianming Army’s kill count.

Moreover, the small silver objects, even if seen, would only be mistaken for ornaments if they didn’t move.

The scene that had just unfolded was not shown to Li Muyun and Mo Huan.

Li Tianming approached Li Muyun again and said, “I will assess military ranks according to the statistical battle merits, and from now on, power will be distributed step by step. This will better help stabilize the structure of our Heavenly Mandate Army, and assessing ranks based on military merit will be more convincing.”

“Indeed,” Mo Huan smiled broadly, praising generously, “This battle was truly brilliant. If it weren’t for your crucial decision, the difficulties we faced in conquering the Little Divine Treasury Star System would have been even greater.”

Li Muyun also smiled slightly, “This optimal ‘moment of attack’ is something that even millions of troops couldn’t buy.”

“It’s also thanks to everyone’s trust; no one can be missing,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.

“In that case, we’ll take our leave now and get back to work.” Mo Huan finished speaking and pulled Li Muyun away.

Another major gain from this battle was two million Cosmic God Essences from the Mist Empire, including a sixth-tier Celestial Venerable among them.

These Cosmic God Essences were all entrusted to Zi Zhen for suppression and control.

Li Tianming had already instructed Yin Chen to inform her to handle the Cosmic God Essence.

With the great battle over, Zi Zhen appeared as an innocent-looking little girl, and no one noticed anything amiss.

She silently collected the massive amount of Cosmic God Essence, bustling about like a diligent little bee.

“Little sister, where are you from? Why are you so busy?” A slightly older senior sister, seeing Zi Zhen’s busy work, asked with a friendly smile.

Upon hearing this address, Zi Zhen’s expression stiffened, then she replied expressionlessly, “The Governor ordered me to come.”

Some members of the Tianming Army also spontaneously helped, so she quickly finished clearing the small mountain of Cosmic God Essence.

During this process, some people chatted with her. Zi Zhen initially didn’t want to respond, but annoyed by the constant questions about her origins, she said she was from Li Tianming’s hometown and had come to join him.

In reality, she hadn’t joined the Tianming Army at all, but with hundreds of thousands of soldiers from various races, no one would pay attention to a little purple-haired girl.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, the Wu Xuan Clan Emperor also took a break from his busy work.

He solemnly said to Li Tianming, “Please give the order, Governor-General, for all the brothers of the Tianming Army to enter the pass!”

Li Tianming glanced at him slightly, then turned to the Tianming Army and said, “All soldiers of the Tianming Army, listen to my command! Enter the old capital and rest and garrison the troops for the time being. Remember not to disturb the local residents, and always keep military regulations in mind!”

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

The Tianming Army soldiers responded one after another.

The elders quickly added, “Governor-General, rest assured, we will make proper arrangements to ensure that all the brave warriors of the Tianming Army have comfortable conditions and build a Tianming Army headquarters… After all, war is arduous, and we cannot allow everyone to be without a place to rest.”

Li Tianming nodded slightly and said, “Good, sensible. I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Meanwhile, among the Shenzang Clan and the Tianming Army, who were already clashing, a Shenzang member laughed, “What’s the commotion? We’re all brothers who’ve shed blood and fought side-by-side. Let’s just go straight into the city.”

“From now on, the city is our home, and it’s your home too! Welcome, brothers of the Tianming Army!” someone shouted enthusiastically.

Thus, excluding the 500,000 Tianming Army soldiers from the Hell Demons, they entered the city surrounded by over a million Shenzang members, most of them fraternizing and calling each other brothers.

Not only did the relationship between the Shenzang Clan and the Tianming Army grow closer, but this battle also greatly improved the teamwork between the former Tianming Imperial Army and the disciples of the Tiandi Sect.

In short, it was a very fruitful year!

They gained in various ways, but without paying a heavy price.

Everything seemed to have settled down, but just as the Shenzang Clan was celebrating with lanterns and decorations, and Li Tianming was preparing to enter the city, the Divine Maiden of Shenzang approached them…
