Beastmaster of the Ages

This was a legendary saint beast.
It was asleep just like Li Wudi, seeming weaker than ever.
He wondered how powerful it would be at top form; after all, even the Devil-Monarch Wildsoul was a spiritsource ability that awakened in a saint beast.
Naturally, saint beasts with awakened spiritsource abilities weren ’t lifebound beasts, but rather wildbeasts.
Wildbeasts that were on the same level as saint beasts were called demon beasts.

The Regalfiend Wildsoul was actually an awakened spiritsource ability of demon beasts.
However, the cat was no longer a Genesis Chaos Thunderfiend, but a Regal Chaosfiend.
This kind of change was akin to the process by which Jadefire Armor morphed into Infernal Armor.

Tianming hastened his steps and left the Li Mausoleum.
The moment his figure disappeared into the bloody mist, Li Wudi, who was supposedly deep asleep at the peak of Shenxiao Mountain, suddenly curved his mouth into a smile.

……

That night, in the Grand-Orient Mountains, one could see countless lights in the direction of the main sect mountain peak.
There were still countless lifebound beasts roaming the landscape, their fanciful colors a sight to behold.
Tens of thousands of beasts of all kinds of species and attributes were everywhere.
Only the very best disciples in the seven hundred plus nations neighboring the Grand-Orient Realm could come to the sect to train.

These nations weren ’t at all on the same scale as Vermillion Bird.
The cultivators in some of them were easily tens of times better than those in Vermillion Bird, being able to take on ten nations their size.
Not to mention, the Grand-Orient Realm itself was a place filled with dense spiritual energy and populated by tens of thousands of beastmaster clans.
They all relied on legacies passed down through their bloodlines and spread their influence one generation after another.
Even for them, they would have to travel really far to reach the sect, overcoming countless obstacles along the way.

Heaven ’s Elysium, on the other hand, was even more impressive.
The main reason they set up Heaven ’s Sanctums in all the nations was so that they would be the first to detect rising stars and recruit them; Lin Xiaoting was one such example.
That put them in a much better position than the aloof Grand-Orient Sect, which only accepted those that made an effort to come join their ranks.
This was the real reason the disparity between the two factions continued widening.
Most of the top talents were taken in by Heaven ’s Elysium first.

Tonight was a calm night like no other.
When Tianming left the mausoleum, Feiling and Qingyu were chatting under the moonlight.

”Big Brother, did you know that I managed to achieve sixty percent synchronization when I attached to Qingyu? ” Feiling smiled and exposed all her teeth; the curved up corners of her lips only made her seem more endearing.

”Wow, that ’s impressive! ” Tianming approached them with a smile.

”Good evening, Brother Tianming. ” Qingyu stiffened, having felt the change in Tianming ’s aura.

”Miss Qingyu, ” he said as he approached.
Ever since their first meeting, Tianming had a good impression of Qingyu.
He could sense the careful upbringing afforded to her by a prestigious clan.
While she seemed gentle, she was tough and brave and a fine lass indeed.

”Please just call me by my name. ” She had heard all kinds of tales about him from Feiling, up to the battle with Lin Xiaoting.
She was already quite familiar with this ’big brother ’ of hers.

”Brother Tianming, did you make a breakthrough? ” Qingyu asked.

”That ’s right. ”

”Back then, you managed to defeat Li Linghe with Ling ’er ’s Spiritual Attachment.
I believe that even I wouldn’t be your match now, ” she said humbly.

”Don ’t feel bad about it.
I ’m already twenty, and you ’re only fifteen and filled with potential.
I ’m the one who has to catch up to all of you, ” he consoled.

”That ’s right.
Brother Tianming is a pentabane.
The only reason your stage isn ’t high is because it hasn ’t been too long since you restarted your cultivation, ” Qingyu said.

Tianming recalled that she had lost her mother when she was only three.
It was a truly tragic tale.

”Just call me Big Brother.
I don ’t have a sister of my own, so I ’ll regard you as such from now on. ”

He recalled that he used to treat Li Xuejiao as his own sister back in Flamehaven.
But now he knew for a fact that he wasn ’t related to her by blood.
Not only that, he had cut ties to the family already, so they were no longer siblings at all.
As for the Wei family, Wei Lingxuan was merely his cousin sister.
They hadn’t exactly started off on a good note, considering the first thing he did was teach her a lesson.

As for Feiling, while she called him ’Big Brother ’, she was more his lover than anything.

”Big Brother…. ”

Tianming speechlessly looked at her.
Given his straightforward personality, he wasn ’t quite ready to hear a sweet, quiet girl like her call him her big brother.

”You ’ve already gotten a grandmother, and now you’ve got a sister.
Yet you still insist on calling Li Wudi your senior.
You really don ’t want to be his son, eh? ” the chick teased.

”Shut up! ” Tianming awkwardly retorted.
Ying Huo was right; it was acceptable for him to call Jingyu his grandmother, and Qingyu his sister, but calling Li Wudi his dad was something he couldn ’t quite swallow.
He had decided he would continue to call him senior.
Perhaps he would use his name, once they were closer.
If that really didn ’t work out, he would just call him foster father.

”Big Brother, can I hug your lifebound beast? ” Qingyu asked after mustering her courage, now that they were on familiar terms.

Before Tianming could reply, the chick leapt at her.

”Come.
Hug me however you like! ” It opened both its wings, its expression drunk with pride for how it managed to charm her.

”I was talking about Meow Meow… ”

”What?! ” The little chick was dumbfounded.

The world was cruel.
