Beastmaster of the Ages

The two eggs kept jumping and knocking into his head. "Hey! Why are you learning headbutts all of a sudden?"

Tianming tried clawing at them. "Fuck!" They split into four eggs and continued to bump around.

"Go back in! You're a naughty one."

Primordial Chaos Beasts really came in all shapes and sizes, so Tianming didn't bother overthinking it. All those eggs were the same fifth egg. One day, it would finally hatch and he would see for himself what this was all about. Before Xian Xian hatched, Tianming thought it would be some kind of butterfly, only for it to end up being a tree. So it was hard to guess what was in the fifth egg, or rather, eggs.

When they returned to the lifebound space, Ying Huo and the rest were surprised to see their number.

"Chicken Bro, let's split them among ourselves and boil them up!" Xian Xian was already drooling when it imagined how the eggs would taste.

The grey eggs shuddered and split into eight before running away in different directions.

"Hahaha!"

They had fun chasing those little eggs around in the lifebound space.

……

After spending a few days with Yu Ziqian, Tianming more or less had a decent grasp of how things worked on Orderia. He also remembered the top thousand plus participants, from their levels, to their beasts, to their battle arts. It wouldn't be a big deal for him with Trisoul Prime.

"By the divine moonrace's standards, reaching the fifth level of the Ascension stage before fifty is decent. However, only those who ascended before twenty are considered geniuses here, and the top geniuses could even be constelliers by age thirty."

Based on that information, Yu Ziqian was one of the top figures of the Myriad Solar Sects, ranking in the top ten among a billion. "It's no wonder his junior was so pissed that he couldn't even defeat her."

These days, Mo Yuling avoided Yu Ziqian like the plague, constantly resentful.

Yu Ziqian came over excitedly and said, "Brother, my master will personally come to pick up my fellow disciples that scattered because of the Supracloud Sanctuary's attack. He should be somewhere down there. Soon, we'll join up with the thousands of Azuresoul Palace disciples. Do the three of you still want to travel with me?"

"No problem. Let's stick together!" Tianming said. There was still quite some way before they would arrive at their destination, so Tianming still needed a guide. But once they were near enough, they could simply travel along with the crowd.

"Great!"

"It is rare enough that out of so many other people, I met you. I'd hesitate to part with you just like that."

"Don't tell me you fell for my looks?" Yu Ziqian said, shocked.

"No, I'm just curious how you'll spin your situation when you join up with them." Tianming turned and glanced at Mo Yuling. She obviously seemed intent on exposing Yu Ziqian's fake talent.

"Don't worry, my master was convinced by me long ago. No matter what others say, he won't believe it," Yu Ziqian said confidently.

"Then I guess I've got a good show to look forward to."

Yu Ziqian's master, Jiang Qingliu, should be among the top elites of Orderia. Tianming hadn't seen what a truly powerful person on the sun could do yet, so it was sure to be a good learning experience. How powerful would someone who had cultivated for hundreds or a thousand years be?

……

Thanks to the fact that there was no night in Orderia, Tianming was less sensitive to the passage of time. Some six hours later, a loud noise came from behind. Tianming, Ye Lingfeng, and Xiaoxiao all turned to look and saw many green clouds rising from the horizon. There seemed to be a gigantic beast charging toward them amidst the green clouds. It looked to be at least two kilometers long. If it weren't for Orderia's sheer size, the beast could have covered up the entire sky.

Tianming could feel its majesty from afar. At the center of the clouds were two glowing balls of light, each one containing many stars. Naturally, Tianming knew they were the eyes of the beast.

"There's more than six thousand of them…" This was easily the lifebound beast with the highest star count he had ever seen. After Ying Huo got a universal manna, it came to have four thousand and eight hundred stars. Of the young residents of Orderia, that star count was among the top. Thankfully, Ying Huo and the rest had been able to benefit from the impressive manna the divine moonrace had discovered.

It was said that a constellier's lifespan was around two thousand years, with the first half being a time of peak growth while the second was a time of degeneration. Tianming noted that this beast was probably considered middle aged by now.

The beast roared, causing Yu Ziqian to turn back. "It's my master's azuresky qilin!"

He stood up and waved in the beast's direction. Yu Ziqian wasn't a beastmaster, nor was he a totem user. Instead, he had none of those talents and was a normal human. In fact the method of cultivation normal humans used was the basis of those of beastmasters and totem users. Though they were weaker when compared to totem users or beastmasters of the same rank, their sheer number meant that, statistically speaking, there would be more talented geniuses among them.

"Master!"

Tianming had Lan Huang return to his lifebound space as the azuresky qilin approached. Faced with such a grand beast, even Lan Huang looked like a small dragon. The beast stopped in front of Tianming and the rest and the green clouds began dissipating, allowing Tianming a glance of its true form. It had azure scales shaped like clouds and its grand aura made it appear like a beast of prosperity, especially its sky-like eyes.

Tianming spotted thousands of young men and women on the beast's back who looked no different from the teenagers of the Flameyellow Continent. Thankfully, Tianming looked rather young himself, so he didn't stand out too much.

Incidentally, Tianming had learned about what had happened to the disciples of Azuresoul Palace. They had sent out more than ten thousand disciples towards the Voidsky Realm in several batches. As the leaders of the batches weren't that powerful, they weren't able to effectively fend off the shameless harassers from the Supracloud Sanctuary. Angered, Azuresoul Palace sent out their elite, Jiang Qingliu, to gather all of the disciples together and escort them to the Voidsky Realm.

As for why the Supracloud Sanctuary attacked them in the first place, it was due to Yu Ziqian, the chief disciple. His talent and power was far above anyone else in second-rate sects, shocking many of them. As their archnemesis, the Supracloud Sanctuary were driven into desperation, perhaps fearing that Yu Ziqian would obtain the recognition of the Sky Palace. Little did they know that even a normal tenth-level ascendant of theirs would cause Yu Ziqian to pathetically flee.
