Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7082

Chapter 6993: Little Nine Awakens Again!

“My current ranking on the Emperor Ranking is fifty-fifth. I wonder what kind of effect it will bring…” Li Tianming said with some anticipation.

Of course, a higher ranking brings Li Tianming more than just convenience in cultivation. Another aspect is that he can get closer to Xiao Jiu’s true form.

In the darkness, the Listening Dao Tablet changed his trajectory based on his ranking, ultimately sending him to an extremely wide platform.

That is, the fifty-fifth step of the hundred steps in front of the Lingxiao Imperial Palace!

This is almost in the middle level, where the divine sounds of the Great Dao that can be heard are purer.

Upon arriving here, Li Tianming first glanced at Xiao Jiu’s beast shadow next to the Lingxiao Imperial Palace.

“Let’s cultivate first, no rush.”

After saying that, Li Tianming immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a state of cultivation.

It can be said that he was somewhat impatient!

This conquest of the star system has brought him significant tempering of the Emperor’s Dao, but in fact, there are still some details that are difficult to study on his own, and progress will be very slow.

“Try to find the answers from listening to the Dao.” Li Tianming pondered.

As he closed his eyes, he entered that state again, enveloped in darkness yet able to sense the illusory image of the Heavenly Emperor.

Along with his enlightenment, many mysterious golden characters flowed from the golden-haired, white-haired Emperor’s image to Li Tianming, nourishing all his Dao principles.

“Even getting closer to the Emperor’s image seems significantly less effective than the first time I heard the Dao,” Li Tianming frowned, then relaxed. “But even realms become increasingly difficult to break through; this is normal.”

He then immersed himself completely in the process.

During this time, he also pondered the gains from conquering the Lesser Divine Treasury Star System and making the current decision to ‘divide and rule’ the region.

“Everyone’s Emperor Dao serves the Li Imperial Clan; perhaps this is a reflection of the essence of the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s Emperor Dao,” Li Tianming thought, frowning.

“Ultimately, the process of preaching and listening to the Dao is an imitation and extension of the cultivation experience of predecessors. So, if I think about problems from the perspective of the Li Imperial Clan, can I gain inspiration?” A flash of inspiration struck Li Tianming.

His thoughts gradually diverged, and he came to understand more and more.

Along with this shift in thinking, the divine sounds of the Emperor’s Dao, which nourished Li Tianming’s Great Dao, surged ever more powerfully!

“All Emperor’s Daos are at my disposal, commanding all Daos to submit and serve me—this is the essence of the Li Clan’s Emperor’s Dao!” Li Tianming fully comprehended.

Riding this momentum, and listening to the Dao from this unique perspective, Li Tianming’s progress skyrocketed.

He was completely enveloped in a golden rain of light transformed from the divine sounds of the Great Dao.

Although he didn’t agree with this direction of the Emperor’s Dao, Li Tianming’s actions were tantamount to disguising himself as the Li Clan, causing them to bestow opportunities.

The effect was remarkable!

If the Eternal Heavenly Emperor knew Li Tianming’s method, he would probably be so angry he’d vomit blood on the spot.

Yinghuo chuckled evilly, “Little Li, what’s the difference between this and plagiarism?”

Ji Ji’s spirit rolled her eyes, saying, “It’s racial talent, that’s how the Stealing Heaven Clan does it.”

However, Li Tianming was immersed in cultivation, gradually entering a state of peak performance.

Within the companion space, Meow Meow, who had been sleeping soundly with a snot bubble on its nose, suddenly awoke with a start.

It shivered, its eyes widened, and its tail stood on end.

“It’s…it’s coming, meow!” Meow Meow’s wide eyes gradually lost their focus and slowly closed.

“Huh? Little Nine is coming again?” Yinghuo asked in surprise, its wings folded.

As Meow Meow reopened its eyes, a violent and chilling aura emanated from its body.

This time, there was no sudden bristling of fur; it was relatively gentler, but it still fidgeted with its paws, pacing back and forth in the companion space as if restless.

Seeing this, Lan Huang said innocently, “Does Ninth Brother have ADHD? It seems like he’s like this every time I see him.”

Bai Ye chuckled, “Who isn’t ADHD compared to Meow Brother? It’s just that Meow Brother is too lazy, which makes it stand out.”

“That’s true…” Lan Huang said.

Of course, Li Tianming knew immediately that Little Nine had possessed him.

He temporarily suspended his cultivation, preparing to communicate with Little Nine. This opportunity must be cherished; it was more precious than cultivation!

Xiao Jiu, using her meowing body, said with a cold gaze, “Human, I sense a lot of dark energy on you. Where did you get it from?”

*Pfft!*

Li Tianming felt an urge to vomit blood!

Was she directly referring to him as ‘human’?

But then he thought, it was a good thing, since they hadn’t used any titles before; this was a step towards building rapport.

“That’s because when I went out to conquer, I came into contact with many races that possessed Divine Treasure Stones or controlled Divine Treasure Power,” Li Tianming said truthfully.

“Specifically, where?” Xiao Jiu tilted her head slightly, glancing sideways.

“I’ve already ruled the Small Divine Treasure Star System, which has a considerable reserve of Divine Treasure Stones. There’s also a Large Divine Treasure Star System, with even richer reserves,” Li Tianming said with a slight smile.

“The Divine Treasure Star System?” A thoughtful look appeared in Xiao Jiu’s eyes.

“Yes.” Li Tianming nodded, then continued, “The Great Divine Treasure Star System is being attacked by another guy, so I can’t do anything about it for now. But I’m already the local governor of the Small Divine Treasure Star System, and I can control the Divine Treasure Stones. Do you still need them?” The

cat, possessed by Xiao Jiu, suddenly widened its eyes and said, “Of course I need them! You stay there and guard it, don’t let anyone else take them. After I finish refining the remaining Divine Treasure Stones in my body, I’ll go to your star system.”

“No problem!” Li Tianming readily agreed.

This was his original purpose in attacking the Divine Treasure Star System, so of course he had no objections.

Accepting what Li Tianming gave him also showed that his connection with Xiao Jiu was already very deep, which further demonstrated the necessity of taking over the Divine Treasure Star System.

“You did a very good job, I’m very satisfied,” Xiao Jiu said stiffly.

While Xiao Jiu was still meowing, Li Tianming continued, “Regarding the Little Divine Treasure Galaxy, I recently came into contact with a race that can use the power of the Divine Treasure. They’re roughly humanoid, with dark skin and swirling eyes. Xiao Jiu, are you related to this race?”

Xiao Jiu pouted and said, “Just ants on their food.”

“I see.” Li Tianming instantly understood.

In other words, the two are unrelated; they simply both live off the power of the Divine Treasure.

In reality, it’s like cows and sheep eating grass—they have little to do with each other, only sharing the same food.

As for Xiao Jiu calling them ants, it’s because she looks down on this race, considering them weak.

“No wonder the young emperor chose to exterminate the Divine Treasure Clan. If Xiao Jiu were related to the Divine Treasure Clan, they probably wouldn’t have done it,” Li Tianming thought to himself. “Originally, they might have used the Divine Treasure Stone as leverage to communicate with Xiao Jiu. If they were related and Xiao Jiu was slaughtered by the young emperor, wouldn’t that eliminate any possibility of bribery?”

After saying this, Xiao Jiu left without warning, leaving Miao Miao slumped on the ground.

As soon as Miao Miao landed, her steady breathing could be heard.

“This lazy cat has fallen asleep again,” Ying Huo said helplessly.

Xiao Jiu, whose consciousness had returned, continued to refine the Divine Treasure Stone in her original form next to the Lingxiao Imperial Palace.

After learning that an even larger amount of Divine Treasure Stone awaited her, she subtly worked even harder at refining it.

Clearly, she also wanted to hatch as soon as possible and head to the Little Divine Treasure Star System…
