Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2411: Two Arrangements

The sword barriers on the stele in front of Tianming could be said to be the exact opposite of the black sword patterns. They were luxuriant flowers in all colors. It was as if he was in a sea of flowers, with countless petals at his feet. Aside from the flowers, there was also running water. The gurgling water formed a network that flowed across the stele. The clear blue tranquil waters were ice cold, sometimes gentle, sometimes rapid. Together with the swaying flowers, they formed a beautiful picture. The movement of the flowers as they fluttered up and down in the air were equally interesting, the dancing petals turning backward like time flowed in reverse.

"Is this the Grandvoid Swordfiend’s ancestral guidance stele? Why is it different from last time?" Tianming asked. The flourishing blossoms, clear springs, and running water put him in a daze. But as soon as he uttered the question, he knew it was redundant.

And he was right.

Lin Xiao excitedly said, "Falling flowers drifting away with flowing waters through eternity. It’s the true meaning of the Grandvoid Compendium! The precision and lethality of this move goes far beyond Delayed Capture."

"Falling flowers, flowing waters, and eternity?" Tianming reflected. Both images were thick with the significance of time. It was easiest to see the change in time by looking at flowers and water.

"Feng'er, are you sure you can break through this sword barrier?" Lin Xiao asked.

"It’ll be easy!" Tianming smiled inside. He could even open the hundred-thousandfold lock in the Oldgod Domain; this was nothing. Without another word, he used his black arm and Plundering Eye, then began breaking the sword barrier that was a combination of the sea of flowers and flowing waters. The moment he broke the sword barrier, the colorful flowers and clear running waters on the stele gathered on his body.

"Your comprehension speed is so fast."

"A one in ten thousand generations genius! Wouldn’t you be able to grasp any ordered arts with such power of comprehension?"

"My God, my eyes have been opened."

All three of them were dumbfounded. How could they have guessed that Tianming hadn’t comprehended anything? What he did was plunder! Whether or not he could learn it was up to Feiling.

"Are you still human?"

"Brother Hu, what bloodline have you passed down?" Lin Xiong was stunned.

The flowers and water on the stele melted into Tianming's skin at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was now surrounded by beautiful flowers and flowing water. The scene that shocked Lin Xiao and the others was naturally transmitted to the Swordsoul Chamber, shocking those there. The battle in which Tianming had defeated Shenxi Shang hadn’t been witnessed by outsiders, so he was somewhat mysterious. And now, they watched another miracle.

"He’s ten times faster than he was the first time he comprehended the Grandvoid Compendium!"

"Heavens!"

"It took him almost a month last time, but now two days might be all he needs."

They were certainly unaware that Tianming’s “comprehension” had improved because of how much practice he’d gotten in the Oldgod Domain.

Members of the third branch weren’t the only ones in the Swordsoul Chamber. Seeing Tianming inherit the rex mundi’s legacy once more roused their spirits. Even those from the third branch cheered and expressed their admiration.

Upon hearing the cheering from outside, Lin Xiaoyun and the others in the main hall appeared even more upset.

"Go out there and tell them all to shut up. What's with the noise?" Lin Yun shouted.

"That's right. This is just the start... who knows if they’ll have the last laugh?" Lin Ziqing said.

Two days later, Lin Yun and Lin Ziqing stared at the young man enveloped in falling flowers and flowing waters, their eyes trembling. They could no longer speak. After holding back her displeasure for some time, the sound of Lin disciples celebrating came from the Infinitum Swordsea, prompting Lin Ziqing to grit her teeth. “What a waste. He doesn’t even have a swordheart!” But what she was really thinking was, Why haven’t Tianxi and that alien monster appeared to destroy this arrogant bastard yet?

"It looks like he isn’t leaving yet." Lin Xiaoyun fumed.

"What?" Everyone was shocked. They had yet to recover from their frustration.

"He’s using the Xiaozhi Sword Art!"

They exchanged a look.

"Biting off more than he can chew. He just obtained a sword art, but now he’s thinking of getting another?"

They grew even more upset, but there was nothing they could do. They didn't dare run their mouths for fear they would be slapped in the face again. After all, their faces were already swollen.

......

Somewhere in Ebonia.

The sky and ground were so dark it was impossible to see one’s fingers. A gold transmission stone lit up in the black void. Under the golden glow, two golden eyes appeared in the darkness on the left and right of the transmission stone. The two eyes didn’t seem to be attached to a face.

"Father," the figure that gradually solidified on the gold transmission stone called out.

"Speak, Tianxi," a soft response sounded.

"They know about me and hid Lin Feng in the council hall. He moves with the protection of the Phantavoid and four elders who remain by his side at all times. At the moment, I don't have the opportunity to do anything," said Tianxi.

"What about the one from the ancestral world?"

"He's still recovering," Tianxi replied.

"If I’m right, his goal is the same as ours, so you’re competing with each other. Find out what his actual condition is. If he’s really recovering, get rid of him as soon as possible so there’s nothing left to concern you."

"Yes." Tianxi nodded. Hesitating for a moment, he added, "Father, the entire star knows I’m hiding here. I think it’s best to act as soon as possible, or changes may arise."

"I know, so I made two arrangements."

"Arrangements?" Tianxi asked. "What are they?"

"The people next to Lin Feng hold positions, so it’ll be impossible for them to protect him forever. There’s many ways to send them away. It all depends on what they choose... Will they protect Lin Feng, or lose even more? First of all, I asked Chi Hun to look for a reason to attack the heart of the Grandnorth Dongshen Clan. Lin Xiao and Dongshen Yue won’t be able to sit still if there are heavy casualties. They have no authority to command support from the Lin Clan, so they’ll have to act on their own.

“As for the second arrangement, I received information from Lin Jie stating that Lin Changkong's beloved son, Lin Lingxiao, is on his way back from Gladeus. I arranged for people from outside the Infinitum Mundus to intercept the Firmament. Once something happens to Lin Lingxiao, Lin Changkong won’t be able to sit still either. Then all that’s left is Lin Xiong and Lin Chongyao. It will be easy for you to deal with them."

Tianxi nodded. "People from outside the mundus? Are they divine wonderians or astral bandits?" he asked.

"The latter."

"Are they reliable?" Tianxi asked.

"Of course. This group of people who move unhindered through each mundus is a nightmare for many. They call themselves Star Hunters and specialize in murder for hire. They operate on a large scale. As long as you’re willing to pay, they can dispatch several ether-class astralships."

"Oh, it looks like Lin Lingxiao will be fighting an astralship battle," Tianxi laughed.

"Get ready to act. It’s to your benefit that Gladeus’ etherean isn’t on Ebonia."

"Yes!"

In the darkness, the glow of the gold transmission stone gradually faded and the two golden eyes were gradually engulfed by the darkness.
