Beastmaster of the Ages

isappeared. ”

The passage to the underground palace wasn’t complicated.
Familiar with the path, Tianming soon reached his destination.
The place was empty; even the sea of ants and light had disappeared.

”Where could he have gone? ”

Tianming took a turn about the room and found nothing.
After all, everything in the tomb was terribly powerful, so there was nothing left behind except for the dust on the ground.

”This maze is so complicated that it ’s hard to find people. ”

Tianming realized how lucky he was to have bumped into Ye Lingfeng last time.
Just as he was planning to wander through the maze and give it a go, he was surprised to find words on the blue brick wall to his left.
This was the exact spot where Ye Lingfeng stood before he disappeared.

”Who could engrave words on the wall of the tomb? ”

Doubtful, Tianming examined the wall.
Although the words were crooked, he could read them.

”Brother Tianming, don ’t worry about me, I ’m fine.
A voice called me somewhere.
I couldn ’t help myself, so I left first.
Later on, I came across a monster that listened to me.
I told it to return to this place and carve these words. ”

The words were carved on the wall with claws, similar to the claw marks in the brick house.
Although Ye Lingfeng’s words were very mysterious, Tianming understood them.

”The monster he’s talking about must be the one that escaped the brick house in the palace and fought Dongyang Fengchen? If it can engrave the walls, wouldn’t that mean killing Dongyang Fengchen would be easy? ”

However, it didn’t seem as if the monsters had the upper hand that time.

”Little Feng said that the monster listens to him? ”

Tianming ’s head was a jumbled mess.
The Tomb of the Ancients seemed more and more mysterious.

”And where did the voice call him to? ” Feiling was confused.

Tianming could only shake his head in reply.
”There are too many mysteries in the tomb—the monster in the brick house, the blood droplets, the ants, and the person who called you here. ”

Putting together this complicated information made him all the more perplexed.

”The good news is that Little Feng is fine? ”

”It looks like it. ”

”As long as he’s okay.
This place is so strange that ‘fine’ is the best news, ” Feiling remarked.

”Alright, let’s go back then. ”

”To the palace? ”

”Mhmm. ”

”Then what? ”

”A man and woman in the same room….
What do you think we should do? ” Tianming laughed wickedly.

”I…. ” Feiling sounded a little flustered.

”What are you thinking? I ’m talking about cultivation. ”

In the sealed palace, Tianming sat at the edge of the formation with Ying Huo, Meow Meow, and Lan Huang beside him.
Having searched the place and ascertained it was completely safe, Feiling came out for a breather.
She sat next to Tianming, flipping through ancient books and studying the Infernal Soul Heavenly Pattern Canon.

Tianming had plenty of saint crystals at the moment.
After laying them on the ground, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the saint crystals converged in his body.
They were easily absorbed into his Saint Palace Spring, turning into saint ki.

Tianming placed the voidspace stone in front of him.
When cultivating the Invincible Sword Body, he drew upon the strands of Invincible Sword Ki from within and continued the painful process of practicing the art.

The sound of screams echoed out from time to time in the palace.
The pain was so overwhelming that Tianming and Ying Huo couldn’t resist screaming.
At first, Feiling had felt distressed, but now she was used to it.

”Ling’er, are you sure you won’t come over and comfort my fragile heart with your gentleness? ” asked Tianming.

”No, you won’t keep your hands to yourself. ” Head lowered, Feiling was immersed in her book.
The starlight on her face made her skin glow.

”It’s all a misunderstanding.
Breaking heavenly pattern formations is an instinct of my dark arm.
I can’t help it, ” said Tianming.

Feiling couldn’t be bothered to answer him.
Book in hand, she moved aside, her lips rising in a smile.

”Tsk, tsk. ” Ying Huo shook its head.

”What are you laughing at? ” Tianming drew a flame spirit hazard and stuffed it into its mouth.

”Damn you! ” When the Invincible Sword Ki entered its body, Ying Huo burned all over, instantly turning into a fiery chicken.
It flew up in the air, screaming miserably.

”Tianming, Tortoise Bro is still a child.
Why do you have to flirt in front of him?! ” Meow Meow stretched, sounding sad.

”Say one more word and I’ll give you a sword ki, ” threatened Tianming.

”Meow? ” Trembling, Meow Meow yawned and lay on the ground, fast asleep as if nothing had happened.

With Ying Huo and Meow Meow around—one openly frivolous and the other inwardly so—laughter was inevitable.
Coupled with the giant baby, Lan Huang, there was a constant ruckus in the sealed palace.
In such an atmosphere, it was easy to forget the abnormalities and dangers of the tomb.

Of course, Tianming was well aware that there would be many tests ahead.
Right now, he would seize the opportunity to improve himself.

Forty days later—

”Sixth-level Earth Saint! ”
