Chapter 3059 - A Fortress Full of Hexapath Eyes
Although the possibility was very low, new goals were necessary, right? The Million Mundi! Just the idea was terrifying. In fact, Tianming didn"t even fully control the Infinitum Mundus at the moment because of the red dust. So his goal was still Myriadpath Sourcespring for now.
He still had the two major goals of the Upper Star Ruins and the OldG.o.d Domain, but right now he couldn"t even touch them. And the Nullity Starjail in the Realm of Chaos was even more out of reach. He couldn’t rush any of those things.
"If I can truly establish myself in Myriadpath Valley and resolve the red dust, perhaps the Upper Star Ruins and OldG.o.d Domain will easily be resolved."
Upon hearing his ambitious plans, Zi Zhen couldn"t help but envy such a person from the bottom of her heart. She was like a moth that couldn’t help but be drawn to the flame that was Tianming.
"I wish you well," Zi Zhen said.
"Haha, that"s too far off, I"m just talking big... but if that time comes, I want to take you to Myriadpath Valley. Would you be willing to go then?" Tianming asked.
Zi Zhen"s gaze trembled. She had never encountered someone who cared so much about her. In her world, loneliness had always been the norm.
"Willing or not?" he asked again.
"Mm-hmm." Zi Zhen eagerly nodded, foolishly smiling with her teeth showing.
"Not bad, not bad, you"re really obedient!" Sometimes Tianming acted inexplicably without even realizing his actions. He suddenly draped his arm over Zi Zhen"s shoulder, pulling her into his embrace with her head resting on his chest. He pinched her cheek and said, "Li Fan said you have the innate talent of a sacredfiend skyghoul, the highest talent among the living beings of the astralscape!"
"Is... is that so?" Zi Zhen listened to his powerful and steady heartbeat and breathing, slowly shrinking back. His embrace made her feel warm, and she crossed her arms in front of her chest, afraid to move.
"Yes, he said that the first Valley Lord had that talent. It"s been almost a hundred million years since then. Although many cultivators have lifespans of thousands of years, a hundred million years is still too d.a.m.n long, isn"t it?" Tianming said.
"Valley Lord...." Zi Zhen"s eyes flickered. She trembled all over, then quickly pushed away Tianming"s hand and stood up in confusion.
"What’re you doing, I hug you and you dare to move?!" Tianming suddenly raised his head, his eyes surging with black mist as he looked at her angrily.
Zi Zhen was at a loss for words for a moment.
"Uh?" Tianming shook his head, suddenly feeling cold all over his body. His eyes cleared up, and he quickly said, "Uh... sorry, I"ve had a bit of a problem with my brain recently and I can occasionally be quite extreme and uncontrollable. I"m sorry about just now."
"It"s okay." Zi Zhen had actually noticed something different about him a long time ago, including the beasts on him and the aggression in his eyes. His current gaze treated her as his own possession.
"Valley Lord...." Her mind felt a bit unclear. There were some strange images in her thoughts that made her blood boil. Her body swelled up, going from a soft, fair-skinned little girl to a fierce, ferocious demon with purple scales and bone spurs. The six fierce pupils rotating in her eyes, as well as the sharp fangs and claws, were all presented before Tianming.
"Like this, you won"t have any thoughts about me anymore, right?" Zi Zhen"s voice became deep and ferocious. A weak little girl suddenly turning into such a fierce creature was too great a contrast.
"That isn’t necessarily true. Little Li has become more perverted. His taste has grown more extreme," Ying Huo softly said.
"Go to h.e.l.l!" Tianming was speechless. But he couldn"t help but feel that recently, Weisheng Moran, Lan Yun, and Zi Zhen were always creating evil thoughts in him. It wasn’t that his true nature was like this, but those evil thoughts amplified the slightest emotions he felt.
For example, under normal circ.u.mstances, he would be angry about the situation with Huang Jihuang and Ji Qianqian but would remain rational and not create trouble for himself.
However, those evil thoughts directly amplified that controlled anger into an irreconcilable hatred, turning it into an overwhelming killing intent.
His fondness for Zi Zhen, which stemmed from protective instincts, as well as recognition and grat.i.tude toward her, was amplified into possessiveness and the drive for reproduction. It ignored the fact that she was a specter.
The evil thoughts were stimulated by visual stimuli, so Tianming completely calmed down after Zi Zhen transformed into a sacredfiend skyghoul.
"You now seem very strong? Are you... a second-level foundationeer?" Tianming softly exclaimed.
"Mm, second level of the Foundation stage." Zi Zhen nodded, her six pupils staring at Tianming and making him shudder.
"How’d you grow so fast?" Tianming exclaimed. When they’d first met, Zi Zhen had been a sixth-level cosmic cartographer.
"I"m not sure. Since breaking the grade-ten xeno fatigue and that thing entering my body last time, I haven"t cultivated much but I keep having some memories. Whenever they appeared, my order grew. Then, inexplicably, it turned into a fortress," Zi Zhen said, revealing her order to Tianming.
It was a h.e.l.lish purple city full of ghosts, demons, and all kinds of b.l.o.o.d.y symbols.
Orders were very clearly different for each level of the Foundation stage. Lin Xiaodao’s foundation fortress was a fortress. At the second level, his fortress had gained two tall hexagonal towers and grew more solid, more complex, and had a stronger suppression ability.
Zi Zhen"s h.e.l.lish foundation fortress was full of ghosts, and the bees in her order also had ferocious faces and sharp teeth.
Unlike ordinary people, Tianming noticed that every hexagonal aperture in Zi Zhen’s fortress was filled. Each aperture had a six-pupilled hexagonal eye arranged inside. The entire thing was full of hexapath eyes.
Because of that, her foundation fortress appeared to be particularly special and terrifying.
"Second-level foundationeer is impressive. You"re definitely stronger than Mister Taihe." Mister Taihe had also been a second-level foundationeer.
Demoness Yin had been a first-level foundationeer, and Tianming had seen that her fortress didn’t have the twin towers. She’d only appeared stronger than the other Intrepidus foundationeers because she was close to becoming a second-level foundationeer and had many powerful means, such as the three thousand years of cultivation with the Sky Starvore Fiendart.
