Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 3434

"Damn!" Deep in the Yin-Yang World, Tianming was dumbfounded after hearing what Yin Chen said. "I was afraid of escalating the hatred too much, so I stopped at crippling Qitian Muchen. But the valley lord killed his own son in front of millions of people and intentionally escalated the hatred?"

It wasn’t something the valley lord and that dragon-shaped beast said, but something that a few House Qitian eminents had briefly mentioned while talking among themselves. Yin Chen hadn’t seen it firsthand at the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, as the invisible cockroaches there were in a dormant state.

"Fortunately, although Qitian Muyu is guarding the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, they don’t suspect me. Also, they haven’t activated the Lumistar Formation to send everyone away." He could still stay in the Yin-Yang World for a while longer. However, the next time he left, he might have to leave under his real identity and probably wouldn’t be able to come back.

"At that time, I’ll have to find a way to leave with my aunt. Otherwise, if Qitian Muyu happens to take the opportunity to kill me, I’ll have nowhere to turn for help."

Yin Chen had split its bodies into two groups, one outside the Yin-Yang World and one inside. Those inside the Yin-Yang World were larger and easier to detect, because they had to withstand the yin-yang essence storm.

Just now, one of its bodies had been discovered, but it’d quickly dissolved itself before it could be clearly identified.

The valley lord’s tensource beast held an incredibly high status. If counted as a single entity, it was the true strongest existence in the entire astralscape. Today was Yin Chen’s first time seeing it, and it indeed found it terrifying.

Outside the Yin-Yang World, Yin Chen’s body was almost negligibly tiny, so it overheard quite a few conversations—including House Qitian’s ‘misunderstanding’ about House Yumo.

"It seems that by sheer accident, I’ve caused some undercurrents to stir between the two exalted houses?"

House Yumo wanted a fortuna-class astralship. As for whether they really suspected that the valley lord was responsible for the murder of twenty eminents, Tianming didn’t know. In any case, House Yumo would do whatever it took to snatch that astralship.

"Too bad, you’ve caught the valley lord’s attention now! Hopefully, your groups will completely turn against each other and fight to the death." That would really make Tianming’s day. He was extremely disgusted with House Yumo, but House Qitian wasn’t much better.

"One’s an outright villain, the other’s a sanctimonious hypocrite." At least House Suishen, while complicated and overly sensitive, was at least somewhat tolerable overall. Well, with the exception of the insidious Suishen Hongtian and Eminent Ranxing.

Now that House Yumo and House Qitian were suspicious of each other and on the verge of conflict, Tianming had to hide even more carefully. He mostly moved around in his true form and avoided using the purple mask unless it was absolutely necessary.

"However, whether it’s the valley lord’s side or House Yumo’s matriarch’s side, Yin Chen can’t get too close. It’ll have to be careful and keep an eye on them from a distance."

Although the Yin-Yang World wasn’t as full of formations as Myriadpath Valley, because the people there were powerful, observing them from a distance was possible, but overhearing conversations was difficult.

One could imagine that Myriadpath Valley was now in turmoil, but who could have imagined that all the major upheavals, whether in the Infinitum Mundus or the Yin-Yang World, had been caused by a low-key disciple on the Fortuna Ranking who was just over a hundred years old?

In their eyes, Tianming had just gotten married and was probably still lost in Suishen Yao’s tender embrace, indulging in dual cultivation and too blissful to return. Who knew that he was waging a one-man war in the Infinitum Mundus and Yin-Yang World?

"Let it get more chaotic! The more chaotic the situation becomes, the more opportunities I’ll have!"

Originally, everyone’s attention had been focused on him, and the Three Exalted Houses were contemplating eliminating him. But who would bother with him if House Qitian ended up fighting House Yumo?

"More importantly, I don’t need Myriadpath Valley as much now.” That monochrome figurine was the key.

Tianming was actually considering that if the situation wasn’t favorable, he would just go back to the Infinitum Mundus, spend a hundred years developing, then directly dominate Myriadpath Valley and take control of its transit point to the Xenoabyss.

"My plan’s clear! Now I just need to see if I can get my hands on that fortuna-class astralship." He spread Yin Chen out again, continuing his search for clues left in the Yin-Yang World.

About a month later, Yin Chen informed him that the valley lord and others from House Qitian had already been lurking near a group from House Yumo.

"The tensource beast must’ve traced House Yumo’s location. But for now, they haven’t made a move, and they probably don’t know House Yumo’s true purpose yet." Tianming kept a close eye on the developments there.

He wasn’t worried about them getting ahead of him at all. After all, I have you! He held the monochrome figurine in his hand and immersed himself in cultivation.

One day, while he was cultivating, Yin Chen suddenly said, "Something is... very strange."

Ying Huo asked, "What’s strange?"

"It’s that... big guy. Ever since... he came... he hasn’t... moved from... his spot,” Yin Chen sneered.

"Which big guy?" Xian Xian asked.

"The one... Little Li... cuckolded cuckolded," Yin Chen said.

"What? Suishen Yue? What’s to pay attention to about that fool?" Ji Ji rolled her eyes, clearly uninterested.

To be honest, they were all quite bored in the lifebound space. Meow Meow was the only exception. In its simple world, boredom didn’t exist; how could there be boredom when that meant time to sleep? Life was always fulfilling for the lazy cat.

The more Tianming cultivated, the harder it worked at sleeping.

Lan Huang was the most bored, having lost Elder Sister Wu You. It could only flip itself over on the ground like a turtle, spinning like a top all day long.

"Suishen Yue?" Hearing their conversation, Tianming paused his cultivation. He remembered that the last time he had run into Suishen Yue at the Myriadpath Sourcespring, he could feel the resentment that guy had toward him.

"Yeah, Fifth said that guy stays in the same place every time he enters the Outer Yin, not moving, like a statue." Xian Xian chimed in.

"Where’s he staying?" Tianming asked.

"At the... edge of... the Inner... Yin Yin," Yin Chen said.

"Not yet a eminent, but daring to go so deep? And he isn’t searching for baleflame, just standing there, waiting?" It sparked Tianming’s suspicion. Normal people were all searching for baleflame and the secret treasures left in the Yin-Yang World—who would behave like that?

Tianming remembered that when the Yin-Yang World first opened, Suishen Yue and his father, Suishen Hongtian, had been whispering to each other and their expressions didn’t look like they were discussing anything good.

"Where’s his father?" Tianming asked.

"Still in... the Inner... Yin Yin," Yin Chen answered.

"So, it’s possible he’s waiting there for his father? If he’s waiting for baleflame, why not wait at home?" Ying Huo asked.

"When something strange happens, there’s always a reason. Let’s go take a look!" Tianming exclaimed. Recently, there had been too many powerful figures from House Qitian and House Yumo, so he couldn’t take too much action as the mistrunner. But since Suishen Yue was standing still, he became curious and decided to go cultivate near him.
