Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 1715 - Celestial Beings of Violetglory

After some light preparation, Tianming returned to the wondersky realm. There were many people waiting for him in the Violetcloud Battlefield, and he felt warm at seeing their passionate looks.

"Don't feel bad about it. That guy was old and shameless."

"That's right. Your opponent isn't him, but the other three your age."

"They’re the top three of the Celestial Beings. Take them down and make the mysterians accept their loss!"

"Don't give up!"

Tianming didn't think that people would try to comfort him before he even explained. Their looks were quite touching indeed.

"Thank you, everyone. Don't worry, as the Celestial Beings will be defeated. As for the shameless one, I'll let him bear the consequences of it one day. It's one thing for him to defeat me, but the real shock will come when I kill him," Tianming said.

"Very good!"

"We need someone as bold as you!"

The Omnisentient Threads connected them to him. After that, he spent some time watching the other battles in the Astraldome. Xiaoxiao and Lingfeng hadn’t made any challenges yet and Lingfeng even returned. Only Feiling and Qingyu were still fighting in the astraldome.

"Your wife is truly fierce."

"A great beauty fit for a hero."

"I'm so envious...."

Tianming felt quite proud hearing those words of praise. Now, he was a fanboy of Feiling like the many others. The little 'primalwinger' with her Sapphire Skywings and Flashsoul Skywings had overcome one danger after another, defeating enemies along the way. The Flashsoul Skywings and her control over spacetime allowed her to roam unseen during the Astralium Seeking. Everyone was slow compared to her and nobody could find her if she didn't want them to.

"Those techniques...." She used quite a lot of skills that Tianming hadn't seen before. All of them were things she knew how to do from her past life, and felt really fresh. Tianming recalled her cute and helpless look the first time he had met her and felt nostalgic. "Ling'er has grown a lot along the way."

He felt his love for her grow more and more. He would protect her and help her through her struggles. He joined the rest and watched as Feiling ended up in the top ten in the Astralium Seeking. However, she didn't bother to struggle that badly after that and eventually got eliminated. It wasn't like she wanted the reward either.

"Looks like she's anxious to join you on the fifth level."

"That's right!"

"Brother Tianming, since you're blocked from advancing in the duel area, why not try for the group battles? Take your Ling'er with you!"

"That's right. You already helped carry Bai Feng, so you have to carry your own woman too!"

"Take Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Lingfeng along to form our own Violetglorian Team Celestial Beings! Show the mysterians who's boss!"

They were getting excited just from the thought of it. The idea hadn't occurred to Tianming until now, and hearing them say it made him even more interested in it. "Ling'er's trying so hard because she wants to be able to fight with me in the Astraldome. She didn't get any rest at all and went all the way to the fifth level."

The thought of her efforts made Tianming feel touched. Her efforts seemed to allow her to change her focus, in a way, trying to shake off the other self she had. Not only was she obedient and didn't make him worry, she also had unyielding willpower. How could he not love such a girl? Nirvana Rebirth's return and the replacement of her personality with another was the hardest time for the both of them. Despite being able to do as they please in the wondersky realm, the manifestation of frost in real life was quite difficult to bear. Feiling was showing her stubborn insistence on their relationship in her own way.

"She never liked fighting or killing.... This isn't the life she wants. All she cared about back then was pretty clothes, accessories, and living a carefree life. I was the one who dragged her into all this, and not only did she not complain or regret, she even changed herself for me...." He felt a little bad for not noticing it until people told him about it. He had paid too much attention to the Omnisentient Threads lately. "They’re right. Ling'er's already in the fifth level of the Tranquil Battlefield. I must take her along with me, just like the time when we could fight together using Spiritual Attachment."

Those were their salad days, sweet and free of worry. He made up his mind. Since he would keep being stopped in the duels, he might as well fight with Feiling and the others as a group. [1]

"We'll eventually have to return to Orderia and fight our true enemy." The celestial orderians and their sun emperor were powerful foes. It wouldn't hurt to have a rehearsal before their big group fight.

"The problem is that it might be a waste of time as well. Crimsonjade Cang will just make a group to stop me. Let's see how far he'll take it then. Perhaps the Celestial Beings will join up again when they see us form our own group. Then we can all fight them together!" As the others had put it, it would be a match to see which world had the better 'Celestial Beings'. Now, his path seemed clear to him.

"Fighting by the side of those I cherish is much more meaningful and blood boiling." He decided he would form a new group before entering the Astraldome. "The problem is that I still lack one person. Qingyu's still at the second level and it'll take quite a bit of time for her to reach the fifth."

If only Qingyu had a higher cultivation level. However, it wasn't that simple. There was a reason why Xiaoxiao, Feiling, and Lingfeng grew so quickly. Qingyu was the most stable and grew at a normal rate, and she had cultivated for an even shorter time as well. It was reasonable that she hadn't reached the Solar stage yet. Given her talent, if she had started off on Skyway Bistar, she would be stronger than Shenwu Fen.

"What’ll you do about the last spot, Brother Tianming?" the others came to ask.

"Why not join up with Ye Chen? He's also a Violetglorian and has already lost to you. As long as he's willing to follow your instructions, give him a chance."

"That's right. Against other worlds, Violetglorians should stand united. Ye Chen's quite powerful too."

Everyone waited to see his reaction. It was a question of how magnanimous he would be. He chuckled and said, "I won't have an issue with it, but it's up to him to agree or refuse."

The others laughed. Those words would no doubt reach Ye Chen's ears, so his answer was a matter of time.

The sky flashed white as a beautiful girl appeared in the Violetcloud Battlefield. It was Feiling, much to the shock of others. She was quite shy at the sight of so many people looking at her.

"Good day, Sister-in-law!" The young ones kept calling her that and the seniors eventually joined in. They parted to make way for the two to approach each other.

"Come, my wife, let me escort you back home," Tianming said. Their next destination was Soulburn Hall.
