Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7191

Chapter 7103: Horse-Forked Insect!

Upon leaving the Heavenly Emperor Pillar, Li Tianming quietly entered the Void Universe Starscape through the Line Source Walkway, concealing his presence.

No one saw him descend, leading people to believe he was still cultivating on the Heavenly Emperor Pillar.

In reality, however, Li Tianming was already heading towards the City of Living Beings!

“I still need to see Governor Wei. Given these changes, I wonder what her attitude towards me is,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

At this moment, amidst a group of disciples still enthusiastically discussing him, Li Tianming calmly passed by.

Using the Line Source Walkway, Li Tianming quickly arrived before the City of Living Beings. After dispelling the Void Universe Starscape within the platform, he stepped out.

Naturally, he also directly entered the attack range of the City of Living Beings’ protective array.

*Buzz—*

A green token at his waist emitted a green light, enveloping Li Tianming and helping him pass through the protective array’s identification, protecting him from its attacks.

This was the ‘Living Spirit Emperor Token’ that Wei Shendao had sent Wei Wuming to give to Li Tianming, allowing him unimpeded entry into the Living Spirit Emperor City.

Of course, this was only a minor, additional function; its most important function was granting Li Tianming the identity of a member of the Living Spirit Emperor Clan. However, the bond between Li Tianming and the Living Spirit Emperor Clan ultimately depended on Wei Shendao’s attitude.

“What if Wei Shendao turns against us now?” Sui Shenyao asked with some worry.

Li Tianming replied calmly, “Whether she’s there or not, she has her own way of dealing with it.”

“That makes sense…” Sui Shenyao mused.

At this moment, Li Tianming was communicating with Sui Shenyao telepathically as he made his way towards the Divine Path Palace.

A moment later, through the Line Source Walkway within the Living Spirit Emperor City, he finally arrived at the Divine Path Palace.

This Divine Path Palace, even its walls, was composed of Dao plants, almost a small world made of Dao plants.

And when Li Tianming arrived at the entrance, the Divine Path Palace opened its doors directly as the Dao plants writhed!

“Enter!”

One of the Dao plants, resembling a trumpet flower, spoke up, its voice bearing a striking resemblance to Wei Shendao’s.

It seemed this Dao plant possessed the ability to relay messages, causing Li Tianming to raise an eyebrow in surprise.

“Wei Shendao should already know Tianming is here, but why didn’t I see this welcoming scene with Dao plants last time?” Aurora asked, puzzled.

At that moment, Sui Shenyao chuckled, “Probably because that old woman was caught doing something bad by Wei Wuji last time. Now, Dao plants are watching over everyone coming and going, so Wei Wuji probably can’t come and go as freely as before.”

Li Tianming’s face darkened, speechless. “Don’t mention it, Yao Yao.”

After all, he was also caught that time, albeit because he was plotting to improve his cultivation, it was still too damaging to his image.

The gates of the Divine Dao Palace opened wide, and Li Tianming directly entered this world of Dao plants.

This world, like a primeval forest, was filled with flowers and plants, and Li Tianming walked straight along the green path without any forks in the road.

Clearly, this was deliberately constructed by Dao Zhi to directly guide Li Tianming to his destination.

Finally, after traversing a considerable distance, he arrived at a more spacious and brightly lit area, resembling a reception hall.

Seated in the center of this hall was Wei Shendao, with green hair and eyes, a green dress, and graceful, elegant features—delicate eyebrows and bright eyes.

Although Wei Shendao already knew Li Tianming had arrived at the entrance of the Divine Path Palace, she was still somewhat surprised to see him.

She parted her red lips slightly and said, “Heavenly Mandate? Weren’t you cultivating? You’ve already descended the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillar so quickly?”

Li Tianming smiled and replied, “Governor Wei, I also descended the Heavenly Emperor’s Divine Pillar not long ago. I’ve already sorted out my cultivation gains; burying myself in research would be a waste of time. I’ve been quite busy with the campaigns lately, and only recently have I had a little free time to come and visit. I hope Governor Wei won’t take offense.”

“Sit down and talk first. You’re different from my subordinates; there’s no need for such formality.” Wei Shendao smiled and pulled Li Tianming over, as if they were very familiar, and made him sit down beside

him. Li Tianming didn’t resist and sat down naturally. After all,

being too distant and insisting on pushing relationships away can sometimes be counterproductive.

“That slut, is she still thinking about that kind of thing?” Sui Shenyao said indignantly.

“Let’s see. Nothing’s happened yet; it’s just the proper distance between an elder and a junior.” Aurora said, both amused and exasperated.

At this moment, the women adorning Li Tianming with earrings or armor were also gossiping.

However, Li Tianming was currently focused on his conversation with Wei Shendao, as he needed to gauge her attitude and avoid being distracted and revealing his true intentions.

Li Tianming was sitting to Wei Shendao’s left, and Wei Shendao took Li Tianming’s hand, patted the back of his hand gently, and said, “How could I blame you? To those who have never commanded troops, conquering star systems may seem like just a brawl, but I understand the complexities and intricacies involved. And it was because of these things that I missed the opportunity to spend time with Wuji…”

At the end, Wei Shendao sighed softly, her expression worried and somewhat helpless.

At this moment, Li Tianming quietly withdrew his hand, smiling as he said, “Although Senior Sister Wei hasn’t become a Young Emperor yet, she has already gained some experience within my Tianming Army. Having witnessed the cruelty of conquering star systems, she will certainly understand your hardships back then even better. I believe this is far more beneficial than simply accompanying you afterward.”

Wei Shendao pondered for a while upon hearing this, then suddenly smiled with relief, “I hadn’t thought about it in that way.”

“What I said may not be accurate; it only represents my own opinion,” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“No, what you said is actually quite right. I took the wrong path before,” Wei Shendao said, giving Li Tianming a deep look.

Li Tianming slightly raised his eyes and tentatively asked, “Previously, Governor Wei kept advising me to back down. I know you wanted me to cut my losses, but I didn’t listen and insisted on my own way. Although there were some setbacks, I managed to overcome them. I wonder if I caused Governor Wei any trouble?”

However, Governor Wei smiled gently and said, “As long as you’re alright, that’s fine. I’m happy for you that you won the Imperial Path Competition. But I still have to remind you, don’t gamble with human nature easily. Everyone has moments of desperation. If you have the confidence to handle things, everything will be fine, but there will always be times when you can’t hold on, right?”

“Governor Wei is right. I’ll think about it more next time,” Li Tianming nodded earnestly.
