Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3035 - Gold for Humans, Black for Dogs

Huang Daoxiong raised his hand and revealed the golden myriadpath ring on his hand. He meaningfully tapped it a few times toward Tianming, clearly indicating that while the uses might be the same, gold and black were ultimately different.

"In Myriadpath Valley, gold is for humans, black is for dogs, understand?" Huang Daoxiong mouthed, knowing that Tianming could read his lips and guess what he was saying.

He certainly didn't dare to speak very loudly, because some of those who wore black myriadpath rings had become powerful in their own right. Their children had gold myriadpath rings, indicating their strength. However, their own myriadpath ring color, no matter how strong they were, couldn't be changed. That was the rule of Myriadpath Valley; only second-generation settlers in Myriadpath Valley could enter that class.

Cases like Chu Tianyu's were relatively special. His master had discovered him from a young age, brought him to Myriadpath Valley for cultivation, and even given him the quota reserved for his own children.

In essence, it was a matter of glory. As long as there was the mark of a mundus on a person, and they grew up in their mundus for many years, they couldn't have a golden myriadpath ring. It was all crystal clear to Tianming. Neither Li Fan nor the other mundi geniuses had the qualifications to plead for him!

So Reverend Daolie couldn't be bothered with them. To avoid problems later, he locked his gaze on Tianming. Although he was curious why this kid could stand despite his order suppression, he only wanted to kill him!

"Myriadpath Valley is quite something. Reverend Daolie is... truly ruthless!" A black fog swirled in Tianming's eyes as his killing intent grew.

Li Fan had already given up hope, lying on the ground with tears streaming down his face and shouting, "You moron, I still don't understand—why did you kill Huang Jihuang?"

Tianming couldn't tell him that he had been screwed over by Yi Daiyan. In his mind, the dark mirror spirit was still Yi Daiyan. In that critical moment, his expression flickered and he quickly asked, "Li Fan, do you have anything that can test someone's exact age?"

"What? Yes!" Although Li Fan was puzzled why he was mentioning something irrelevant at such a critical moment, he immediately took out a blooddrop-shaped object from his spatial ring and exclaimed, "This is called a blood tracer!"

When cultivators became gods, their bodies consisted of flesh, blood, and albi. Their age could easily be determined. However, after becoming an astral god, their bodies were made up of astrons, making it difficult to determine their age. Formations especially struggled with that and could only identify an approximate age range, such as under five hundred years old.

The wonderians could test it more accurately through caeli, but that was a 'technology' of theirs.

In Myriadpath Valley and other major mundi, if you wanted a more accurate age, special items like the blood tracer were generally used. It was actually a juice extracted from ether-class plants and trees. When it entered the body, it reacted with astrons, and different ages of astrons would react with it to produce different lights.

Without saying a word, Tianming swallowed the blood tracer, then didn't bother with Li Fan anymore and ran backward. The blood tracer quickly reacted and a piercing red light appeared on his body.

It was an extremely dazzling red. Cultivators under five hundred years old had five different color reactions: red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. Red was the first reaction, indicating that Tianming's age was less than a hundred years old.

The depth of the color could also be used to roughly differentiate. For example, Tianming's current deep red indicated that his bone, blood, and soul ages were all around seventy!

"I'm not even a hundred years old!" Tianming roared, shaking the entire area as his voice echoed. The red light and words quickly spread.

The first to react were surprisingly Huang Daoxiong, Chu Tianyu, and the others. That was because they minded the matter a lot. After they had encountered Tianming and were defeated, their only sense of superiority was that they thought his age was twice theirs.

But now Tianming had used facts to tell them they were wrong. He was actually not even half their age!

In Myriadpath Valley, being seventy and still defeating seventh-level cosmic cartographers was quite rare... or even unheard of. Before, although Tianming had defeated them, they didn't consider him a genius. But now Huang Daoxiong and the others were stunned for a moment, then their faces flushed with embarrassment!

"It's impossible!"

"There must be something wrong with the blood tracer."

"Less than a hundred years old, but he can defeat Brother Xiong? What mundi can birth such a talented genius? We grew up in Myriadpath Valley and don't have that level of talent."

For a moment, they naturally didn't believe it and shook their heads one after another.

Even Reverend Daolie, who was about to kill him, was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Because he could see the red light emanating from Tianming.

"Less than a hundred years old, seventh-level cosmic cartographer? That’s a bit...." To be honest, even with his experience, Huang Daolie felt it was ridiculous. If Tianming really was such a genius, then no matter what, he would be a talent for Myriadpath Valley.

However, he quickly sorted it out. "Regardless of what he is, I’ve already suppressed him like this. In that case, I must kill him. Otherwise, if he retaliates against me after he grows up, wouldn't it be too late?"

Once he figured that out, everything became clear. He glanced at many onlookers not far away, and Tianming's radiant light made them hesitate. From their expressions, it was evident they were already having doubts.

"Seniors! Saints, reverends!" Li Fan reacted and screamed, "Li Tianming is less than a hundred years old, I can testify to that with my life! He’s a rare genius in the Million Mundi! His future is boundless! Today, Reverend Daolie must’ve misunderstood something. I implore the seniors to intervene, spare Li Tianming's life for now, and then we can all clarify the cheating and rule violations. If he really is at fault, it won't be too late to kill him later! Please, please don't miss out on a future eminent talent!"

His screams were hoarse as he stood in front of Tianming to protect him. "I beg you all...!"
