Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 621 - Number One Pavilion

Chapter 621 - Number One Pavilion

Tianming stepped into the Earth Branch for the first time when he got back from Xuanyuan Lake. As soon as he entered, he realized that the Human Branch was ten times larger than the Earth Branch, but the branches had an equal number of spiritual energy fountains.

As a result, the Earth Branch was covered with thick spiritual energy mist, making it look like a celestial realm. The mist was so thick that it limited his vision.

I heard that the Heaven Branch has the same number of spiritual energy fountains as the Earth and Human Branches, but the Heaven Branch only has five hundred disciples and is only a tenth as big as the Earth Branch. So everyone practically has a fountain of their own. The Archaion Sect has a realistic system for training their disciples, and those who are talented will be granted more resources while the mediocre will be buried. No wonder everyone in the Human Branch wants to climb up.

In the Achaion Sect, only disciples from the Earth Branch or higher will be respected. As for the Human Branch, their only way out is joining the Archaion Army and fighting for the sect. The Earth Branch had fifty thousand disciples, and everything here was better than the Human Branch. There were all kinds of facilities available that made this palace look like an actual sect. The entire Earth Branch was covered in snow under the blizzard, which made for a magnificent sight.

As long as I become an Earth Branchs disciple, Ill be able to cultivate in the Old Deepstar Path for two hours a day. Two hours is enough, but I still have another layer of identity now as the faction lord of the Swordking Faction. So my time isnt limited. The Earth Branchs Old Deepstar Path starting point is at the end of the Human Branchs path. The Astral Wills here belong to stronger ancestors.

Tianming was filled with expectations for the Earth Branch. The Earth and Heaven Branches were practically bound together, with the Earth Branchs core ground being the Heaven Cauldron.

Tianming decided to head to Sourceglow Hall first, but he wasnt familiar with the Earth Branch so he had to ask for directions before he finally managed to find Sourceglow Hall. He realized that many people in the Earth Branch knew him, and they had probably watched the Human Branchs faction battle. So they were looking at Tianming with a strange gaze.

You managed to live to this day? It sure wasnt easy for you, a woman chuckled after Tianming asked her for directions.

Yeah, it hasnt been easy. Thank you, Senior Sister, Tianming thanked her and headed toward Sourceglow Hall. Along the way, many people looked at him and exclaimed how lucky he was.

What, aren’t those geniuses from the Sterling House of Fang known for how overbearing they are? Why is he still alive?

Beats me.

Probably just luck. He wont last long, though.

The Archaion Sect belongs to the three houses, and small houses like ours dont dare to offend the ordinary disciples of the three houses even if were talented. Well know whats going on if hes gone in two days.

Tianming arrived at Sourceglow Hall while they were discussing among themselves.

Heres your emblem as an Earth Branchs disciple. Sourceglow Hall was where disciples information was stored, and disciples received their emblems there. Every newly-promoted Earth Branch disciple had to report there to officially join the Earth Branch.

Thank you, Palace Lord, Tianming said. The palace lord of Sourceglow Hall was an old woman called Gou Yuqiu. Tianming didnt know who she was, but she was rumored to be a dedicated person, and she would check on all the Earth Branchs disciples.

However, she didnt pay much attention to Tianming. After recording Tianmings identity, she said, Tianming, go and pick an earth pavilion to stay in. Itll be your root in the Earth Branch in the future.

Yes.

Tianming took the emblem and went to pick his earth pavilion. The residences for Earth Branchs disciples were four times larger than the Human Branch, and everyone practically had a peak to themselves.

But when Tianming came out of Sourceglow Hall, he ran into an acquaintance. His body was hunched and his face was pale, decorated with blood and despair.

Fang Xingying, Tianming called out.

Mhm? Fang Xingying raised his head, and he immediately took a few steps back when he saw Tianming.

Where are your teeth? Tianming couldnt help laughing. Whyre you like an old granny now? Is that the latest fashion?

Fang Xingying tried gnashing his teeth, only to hurt himself in the process. He glared at Tianming and turned to leave.

Hey, dont go. Tianming chased after him. Arent you trying to assassinate me? You dont have to be polite with me.

Dont provoke me, Fang Xingying said.

Youre overthinking. Let me guess, did Fang Xingque pull out your teeth since you failed to kill me? Tianming patted his shoulder.

Looks like you have a talent for guessing, replied Fang Xingying.

Haha, your boss seems terrible. Dont work for him anymore. Hes not worthy of your loyalty, Tianming replied.

What do you know? Care about yourself and your life while you can. Dont poke your nose into someone elses problems. Fang Xingying quickened his steps, but Tianming came and blocked his way again.

Dont force me, said Fang Xingying.

Do you hate Fang Xingque? Tianming asked with his eyes narrowed into slits.

Whats it got to do with you? You think youre smart? Fang Xingying raged.

Nah, but the enemy of an enemy is a friend. That means were friends now. Why dont you tell me who this Fang Xingque is? Who knows, I might be able to kill him. Tianming smiled.

You? Fang Xingque laughed.

I can tell that you hate him. It didnt feel good having your teeth removed, right? Tianming asked.

You really want to know who he is? Fang Xingying narrowed his eyes when Tianming exposed his thoughts. Now that he thought about it, Tianming should have a similar identity since he had the sect master of the Human Branch protecting him, right?

Speak.

Hes the son of Heaven Branchs sect master and the grandson of Godservant Halls palace lord. Hes one of the few in the Archaion Sect with the strongest background! Fang Xingying said.

It was sad, as he was also the grandson of Godservant Halls palace lord. But he had never been paid any attention.

Wow, thats a strong background. So whys someone like him going after someone insignificant like me? Tianming asked.

He had a cricket battle with his friends in the Dimensional Battlefield, but you stood out and humiliated his crickets, embarrassing him before his friends. So hell naturally be coming after you, said Fang Xingying.

Does he have nothing better to do? Since when would someone playing with crickets go after crickets himself? This proves that hes not a human being, but a cricket himself, Tianming laughed.

No one dares to provoke the disciples of the Sterling House of Fang because of Fang Xingques vengeful personality, said Fang Xingying.

So arrogant?

Wouldnt you be arrogant if you were the son of Heaven Branchs sect master and grandson of Godservant Halls palace lord? Fang Xingying asked.

Well, Im the eminents husband, and I dont see myself being arrogant... Tianming commented inwardly before asking, Is he done now? Does he know that Im under the protection of the Human Branchs sect master?

He didnt believe me.

So that means hes still coming after me?

What do you think?

Simple. Ill help you beat him up and pull out his teeth one day, Tianming smiled.

Haha!

Whatre you laughing about?

He has the Sterling House of Fangs Rainbow Phoenix Bloodline. Hes only sixteen this year, and hes already in the Samsara stage. In terms of talent, hes ranked in the Archaion Sects top three, said Fang Xingying. His fists were balled together when he mentioned the Rainbow Phoenix Bloodline. He was trying his best to keep himself composed.

Wow, thats impressive, replied Tianming.

See you later. Fang Xingying continued walking away.

Wait. Im looking for a vacant Earth Pavilion. Do you have any recommendations? Tianming asked.

Theres one beside mine, replied Fang Xingying.

Alright. Well be neighbors then.

Youre sticking yourself to me?

Dont say that. Im new in the Earth Branch, and theres many things I dont know about. So Ill come ask you if theres an opportunity, Tianming said in a sincere tone.

Becoming friends after fighting each other?

Yeah.

Come on then. Fang Xingying had no idea about Tianmings identity, nor did he know how long he could stay alive for. But no one had taken the initiative to become neighbors with him since he was young; he would already have died if he hadnt fawned over Fang Xingque.

......

With that, Tianming officially moved next to Fang Xingying. As flashy as he was, Tianming naturally put up a plaque with Number One Pavilion.

The pavilion was massive; it was practically a snow-covered mountain. Aside from buildings on the mountain, there was also a lake-sized hot spring.

Tianming fell in love with it at first sight, and he imagined taking a dip in it with Linger.

Fang Xingying lived on the next mountain over. His place was remote, as he liked the silence and lack of disruptions in his cultivation.

The sect has a rule that Earth Branch disciples can take a Human Branch disciple as a servant, or even a maid. Although becoming an Earth Branch disciples servant wont give you more resources or any changes to their identity, they can at least enjoy the rich spiritual energy here.

Many Earth Branch disciples, especially the males, have a female disciple from the Human Branch as a maid. One seeks improvement in her cultivation, while the other seeks beauty, a mutually beneficial relationship. Thats also a way out for Human Branch disciples. I heard that anyone who becomes an Earth Branch disciples servant will have a higher chance of being promoted to the Earth Branch. Reality is truly harsh, but.... Tianming grinned and continued, Maybe I should bring Xiaoxiao over to be my maid!

Holy shit, you shameless lecher! Are you going to go for a maid play? Ying Huo was dumbfounded.

Boss, dont force me to rat you out to Linger! I know biology, and I can vividly describe how you have fun with Lin Xiaoxiao, Meow Meow chuckled. From today onward, youre finished if you dare to disturb my sleep!

I support your idea, boss! I want to play with Big Sister Youyou! Lan Huang chipped in.

Screw you guys! Beads of sweat rolled down Tianmings forehead. Many people saw me together with her in the faction battle, and Im just worried that Fang Xingque will go after her instead, since he cant do anything to me. After all, I cant possibly drag her down in the mess I created, right?

Hehe!

We know, we know. You dont have to explain.

Xiaoxiao is actually pretty cute.

Tianming was left speechless by them, and wondered if he should give them a beating. But right at that moment, a loud voice came from outside. Li Tianming, come out!

The voice belonged to Xuanyuan Yuheng.
