Chapter 2718 - Nine Hundred Thousand Stars Archaionfiend
There was still a journey ahead in the Xenoabyss. Since Feiling couldn"t be brought there, Tianming could only train in the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. After making some progress in his cultivation, he switched to practicing on the backs of Meow Meow or Ying Huo during the journey in the Xenoabyss.
That way, the travel time wouldn"t be wasted.
"It might take several years to reach the capital!" Meow Meow"s speed was already quite impressive, indicating the vastness of Antiquitas Mortis. "I wonder how many places in the Xenoabyss are on the scale of Antiquitas Mortis?"
While training the sword, Tianming would also spare some time on learning some whip arts for the Prime Starchain. His divine arts really were quite miraculous, as not just anybody could use a divine wonder as a weapon.
On the way, due to the spa.r.s.e population in the Xenoabyss, they occasionally encountered desolation beasts but had no other encounters, and the over two million soulstones on Tianming couldn"t be spent.
Thus, he used them to nourish his soul. His fifth holy soul was visibly growing.
During the process, Xiaoxiao finally made a breakthrough on the Sun, becoming a cosmic cartographer. Tianming specially returned from the Xenoabyss to congratulate her.
"Indeed, my maid didn"t disappoint this young master at all!" She was the first person from the Sun to become a cosmic cartographer. He had fed her quite a bit!
After the Archaionfiend had obtained eyes, its upper limit had significantly increased, and many caeli from the Star Hunters were also gobbled up by it.
"Not bad." Xiaoxiao had become more enchanting. Her appearance seemed unchanged, but compared to the fourteen-year-old Xiaoxiao she was completely unrecognizable. The Archaionfiend had changed her too much.
"Let me see your cosmic chart." Tianming was very curious—he himself also yearned for the Cosmic Cartography stage! Of course, his next small goal was the multiorder symphony of the ninth astral phase.
"Oh!" Xiaoxiao lightly glanced at him. Behind her, blood-colored starlight transformed, lightning serpents entwining themselves on it. A star pattern composed of blood-colored lightning appeared behind her, exuding a wild, fierce, and ferocious soul aura. Her only order appeared behind this cosmic chart, and it had transformed into the shape of a beehive. Tianming found that it looked a bit like the eye of the Archaionfiend—sinister, ghostly, and full of enticement.
"Not bad, not bad." Tianming nodded.
"It"s a bit like a mantis," Ying Huo commented.
"Get lost!" Tianming smiled awkwardly, grabbing Ying Huo"s head and closing its beak.
"Bring it here." Xiaoxiao couldn"t be bothered with Ying Huo, reaching out to Tianming.
"What?" Tianming asked.
"Ordered manna, I"ve inquired about it and heard you have a ninety-aperture one that suits Wu You, bring it!" Xiaoxiao said.
"d.a.m.n." Tianming rolled his eyes and said, "Big sister, you sure are used to having everything delivered to you. Do you need such arrogance when requesting treasures?"
"Is it not okay?" Xiaoxiao blinked.
"Okay!" Tianming nodded, then grinned and said, "Anyway, you have to do the hard work. Investing in you isn’t a loss."
"Be careful not to bankrupt yourself."
Tianming was speechless.
After the Archaionfiend reached the Cosmic Cartography stage, it dared to attempt the highest level of ordered manna in the Infinitum Mundus, which came from the Star Hunters. To be honest, not even the Lin Clan had ever touched it since they started their business. Lin Xiao"s beasts only had over eight hundred thousand stars.
"This shows that robbers are richer than businessmen!" In this world, you would lose if you were honest. Fortunately, they had taken down the Star Hunters.
"d.a.m.n!" When Tianming went to his "imperial treasury" for the manna, his lifebound beasts all wailed.
"He’s sticking his hands outside of the family!"
"We only have three hundred thousand stars, and we"re still eating low-quality food. How can your maid"s lifebound beast directly reach nine hundred thousand stars?"
"Is that still a maid? That’s a mistress!" Xian Xian was frantically scratching words into its bark!
"Quickly find Ling’er, let her take action to enhance our family status."
"This Little Li still has the energy to look elsewhere. He has to let Ling’er drain him," Ying Huo said.
"Brother Chicken, how to empty it? Remove his heptastar organs?" Lan Huang loudly asked.
Tianming was helpless and could only shout, "Shut up, all of you! You’re all only at the seventh astral phase. It"s too risky to use such high-level manna now and there"s no need to take risks like that. When you reach the ninth phase, I"ll see if I can get imperial order and lifesbane order. Then you can try it. Be prepared!"
"Oh, that"s about right."
"This Little Li, if we don"t scold him, he’d think we"re vegetarians!" Ying Huo grinned.
"I eat meat!" Xian Xian said.
"A bunch of fools," Ji Ji summarized with rolled eyes.
"Who’re you talking about?" Xian Xian stared at it.
"Talking about bugs...." Seeing its siblings all staring at it, Ji Ji could only tactically s.h.i.+ft the blame to Yin Chen.
Tianming couldn"t be bothered with them. He handed the manna, the nineheavens electrosoul starriver, to Xiaoxiao. It was extremely huge, with a diameter of over a hundred meters. It was a blood-colored beehive, upon which nine extremely thick blood-colored serpent-like lightning bolts wandered around, leaving a flash of lightning wherever they went.
In short, it was amazing. Not to mention swallowing it, just holding it in his hand was scary.
"On behalf of Wu You, thank you," Xiaoxiao said.
"You don"t need to thank me?"
"Then I"ll thank you!" Xiaoxiao said.
"No problem. After settling down, go with me to the Skyhold Bridge. Ling"er has also cultivated to the twelfth astral phase. The three of us all have the combat power of cosmic cartographers, it"s time to consider whether we can directly kill our way to Voidback City," Tianming said.
"So soon?" Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. She had originally thought it would take a long time.
After the battle against the Star Hunters and the Exterminatus Army, due to the increase in resources, their cultivation speeds had soared again. It hadn"t been long since they’d defeated people like Fu Xun and completed the seventh stage of the Skyhold Bridge. It indicated that resources were indeed important. The foundationeer caeli of the Lin Clan and flameyellow divinities were equally important.
"When Wu You evolves, call me," Tianming ordered.
"Okay." Xiaoxiao was very eager to help him.
Holding the manna, she quickly left and entered seclusion to let Wu You undergo a major transformation. From three hundred thousand stars to nine hundred thousand stars, a threefold breakthrough!
