Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7213

Chapter 7125: Cannot Be Stolen!

“Oh ho? Ninth Brother’s a bit possessive of his food, huh?” Xianxian seemed even more interested, watching Little Nine devour the Divine Treasure Stone.

Seeing that it couldn’t shoo Xianxian away, Little Nine simply stopped talking. It realized these companion beasts were all too enthusiastic!

If it responded, even more words would follow, so it simply shut up.

It ignored all the words, as long as it wasn’t directly disturbed while eating!

Meanwhile, Yinghuo and Miaomiao were beside Li Tianming.

“Little Nine can really eat! Little Li is probably in for a rough time, another little glutton!” Yinghuo said gleefully.

“It’s alright, Boss will always find a way. Things will work themselves out…” Miaomiao rolled over beside him.

“That’s true…” Yinghuo pondered, then suddenly glared, “You uncultured lazy cat, that’s called ‘things will work themselves out’!”

Looking at the noisy companion beasts, Li Tianming unconsciously curled his lips into a smile.

Although Xiao Jiu is still somewhat resistant to communicating with everyone, everything can be improved with time!

Li Tianming and the others are already used to Xiao Jiu’s personality; while it’s somewhat unapproachable, it ultimately won’t attack them.

This at least shows that it knows its actions are wrong, meaning there’s a possibility of it being reformed and integrated into the group.

After staying in the old capital for a while, Li Tianming prepared to return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

After all, if someone discovers he’s no longer with the sect, they can guess that he and Xiao Jiu disappeared at the same time, which would be a huge problem.

“Brothers, let’s go back first, we’ll come see Ninth Brother again next time,” Li Tianming said with a smile to his companion beasts.

“Let’s go, let’s go, Ninth Brother, you eat slowly here, don’t choke,” Yinghuo said casually.

“Little Ninth Brother, I’ll see you next time… next time,” Xixi said, waving to Xiao Jiu with a smile.

“Finally, you don’t have to bother me anymore, get lost!” Xiao Jiu said without any politeness.

Everyone knew Xiao Jiu’s personality. Although it was rude, they weren’t angry at all; instead, they found it quite amusing.

After recalling all the companion beasts except Xiao Jiu, Li Tianming bid farewell to Jiang Feiling and Zi Zhen, and quickly returned to the Burning Spirit Realm via the Boundary Planet.

After saying goodbye to Wei Sheng Mo Ran, he used the Fixed Sky Butterfly to return to the Heavenly Fate Palace in the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor City in a quarter of an hour.

Of course, he still entered the Void Universe Star Chart before leaving the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor City.

At this time, Li Tianming had already secretly brought Xiao Jiu to the Little Divine Treasure Star System, and he acted as if nothing had happened. After leaving the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor City, he dispelled the Void Universe Star Chart and appeared openly in the Heavenly Emperor Sect.

He appeared as usual, but the discussions about Xiao Jiu around him continued.

After all, the Eternal Emperor Beast had appeared, and the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s negotiations with it had failed before everyone’s eyes.

This further proved that it was highly unlikely to return willingly!

“The Eternal Emperor Beast is missing. Will the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, or rather the Li Imperial Clan, be furious? Will a storm erupt?”

“Furious at whom? It seems to have left on its own. Actually, I feel it must have some grudge against someone. Otherwise, why would it suddenly leave when everything was fine before?”

“So, where did it go?”

“In short, I feel the Eternal Heavenly Emperor won’t let this go unnoticed. Let’s see what the Li Imperial Clan does next…”

Amidst countless discussions about Xiao Jiu, Li Tianming returned to the Myriad Emperors Palace.

He could even catch up with the newly refreshed battle participation count!

Because of his freedom of movement, even though he had stayed in the old capital for quite some time, he still managed to catch up.

This further proved that he had been participating in the Myriad Emperors War and wouldn’t be associated with Xiao Jiu’s disappearance.

Thus, Li Tianming’s Myriad Emperors War continued…

However, because of Xiao Jiu’s situation, everyone’s attention was slightly diverted, and the focus on Li Tianming wasn’t as great as before.

And during the battle, Li Tianming’s progress in Emperor Points was also very slow.

The opponents he encountered were mostly at the level of those who could be defeated in one move.

And these opponents usually didn’t possess high Emperor Points.

Li Tianming was also quite helpless. He said, “It seems that I was already very lucky to encounter an opponent like Hun Fanyun before, and he even deliberately came to fight me. Without opponents in the top ten, it’s impossible to overcome the huge gap in Emperor Points between my current rankings.”

Thinking of this, he decided to temporarily suspend the Ten Thousand Emperors Battle and go to the Heavenly Emperor Divine Pillar instead.

Now, Li Tianming’s ranking on the Ten Thousand Emperors Ranking has reached ninth!

So he was actually quite looking forward to seeing what it would be like to cultivate on the ninth step.

Soon, Li Tianming arrived at the foot of the Heavenly Emperor Divine Pillar through the Line Source Plank Road.

At this time, he didn’t hide his whereabouts at all. The more guilty he was, the more he tried to conceal himself, the easier it would be to expose his flaws.

So the simplest and most direct method was to pretend that nothing had happened.

Li Tianming decisively stepped onto the Line Source Plank Road leading to the Heavenly Emperor Divine Pillar. Guided by the transformed Listening Dao Token, he quickly arrived at the ninth step.

This place was already very close to the Lingxiao Imperial Palace and the Daoist figure atop it.

The moment he stepped off the platform, Li Tianming had already sensed even more of the true meaning of the Great Dao.

“What is this?” Li Tianming hesitated.

Before he could continue sensing, he suddenly saw a sudden change in the direction of the Lingxiao Imperial Palace!

Boom—!!

An indistinct golden light suddenly shot into the sky from the Lingxiao Imperial Palace, flying into the sea of stars!

The range of this light was enormous, probably exceeding ten light-years!

In an instant, countless nebulae were stirred, and the entire Lingxiao Imperial Palace seemed to have formed a nebula vortex as the light departed!

All of this happened in a flash!

Because this light was not only enormous, but also incredibly fast!

Even though the entity that caused this change had departed, the influence it left behind remained. Even at a great distance, Li Tianming’s white hair was whipped wildly by the wind.

Although this didn’t represent its true size, the terrifying aura indicated the arrival of a top-tier expert!

“Could this be the Eternal Heavenly Emperor?” Aurora exclaimed in shock.

“It’s hard to say, but it’s highly possible!” Li Tianming said with a slightly serious expression.

Sui Shenyao asked worriedly, “Could he be going to the Greater and Lesser Divine Treasury Star Systems to find Xiao Jiu?”

“That’s possible. Although news of Xiao Jiu in the Lesser Divine Treasure Star System hasn’t come back yet, they’re not stupid. They’ll figure it out eventually. However, I still didn’t expect them to figure it out so quickly,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

After all, within the entire Heavenly Emperor’s territory, only the Greater and Lesser Divine Treasure Star Systems contain Divine Treasure Stones, so guessing the answer wasn’t difficult.

“What should we do then? Xiao Jiu is probably in danger,” Sui Shenyao said anxiously.

However, Li Tianming, who had guessed the Eternal Heavenly Emperor’s intentions, wasn’t worried. He said,

“It’s alright, everything as usual. Xiao Jiu is just dozing next to the Lingxiao Imperial Palace. Even the Eternal Heavenly Emperor can’t do anything to it, let alone now that it’s fully hatched and grown, with such powerful strength. It won’t be harmed.”

“Moreover, with such a large amount of Divine Treasure Stones to devour, it’s in my Divine Treasure Star System. It’s not me who should be worried, but them!”

“If Xiao Jiu is so easily taken away under these circumstances, then it’s not the ninth Primordial Chaos Beast, not the ancient and powerful Dark Matter Demon…”

Sui Shenyao finally felt a little relieved.

An Ning and Aurora were more composed; they had considered what Li Tianming had said.
