The sovereigns noticed that Tianmingâs expression was weird. They quickly cleared their throats and said, âDonât misunderstand, weâre doing this to find out the truth. We arenât men thatâre weak to seduction.â
Tianming was speechless
The two entered the wondersky realm, returning after a quarter of an hour.
âNope, my wondersky fairy wasnât updated.â
âMineâs the same. Pretty face, yes, but the personality of a rock.â
âIs that so?â Tianming sneered inside. âSo it seems the wonderians got a real person to monitor me. They really do value me.â Tianming shrugged.
âThat may not be so,â Sovereign Brightscorch said.
âWhat do you mean?â Tianming asked.
âIt may be possible that how much the wondersky fairy exposes is correlated to how perverted someone is. The wonderians simply recognized that Sovereign Starfeather and I are men of outstanding integrity,â Sovereign Brightscorch chuckled.
Reading between the lines, he was implying there was something wrong with Tianming.
âScrew off!â Tianming wanted to be rid of them. Even if the wondersky fairy was a real person⦠so what? He was already mentally cautious against the whole Skydome Battlefield. He would never reveal what he shouldnât.
Still, he decided not to go back in for the short term. He would prepare for the Infinitum Bodhimanda by focusing on his cultivation and training his new sword art.
â¦â¦
Xiaoxiao had been in the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb since long ago. She spent most of her time in the wondersky realm and, as long as her body remained in the tomb, she didnât need to move no matter where Tianming went.
âCome out, Xiaoxiao,â Tianming called as soon as he entered.
Xiaoxiao groggily woke up.
âSummon the Archaionfiend,â he instructed.
âAlright. Wu You.â Xiaoxiao obediently listened, and the Archaionfiend, which had advanced to a nine-star cosmic beast, came out from the lifebound space. Its body was almost as large as Lan Huang and its demonic aura was so thick that the atmosphere within the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb immediately changed. It looked down at Tianming from above.
âDid you see that Darkfiend City? What are darkfiends and why do they look so similar to you?â Tianming seriously asked.
The Archaionfiend gave a snarl. It first glared at Tianming, before starting to groan in pain and rub its forehead. âDarkfiends are mongrels! A degraded bloodline! Theyâre trash!â
âWhatâs that mean?â Tianming asked.
âDonât you understand what a mongrel is?â The Archaionfiend grit its teeth.
âSo darkfiends really exist? Where do they live?â
âI donât know.â The Archaionfiend shook its head. It was still in the same old state; its memories were fragmented information with no connection between them. Hence, it didnât even know how it had fallen. It was a fellow that had lived for millenia in vain.
âThen what about Darkfiend City?â
âIt felt familiar, like Iâve been there before.⦠It was indeed an eye of us Archaionfiends up in the sky. Speaking of which, when will you return my eye? If you hadnât taken it away, Xiaoxiao and I wouldâve already recovered to peak sovereigns!â
âReturn it to you? You sure have an active imagination. If I get a new one in the future, Iâll see my mood and decide if you can have it.â
âOthers are useless, I only want my own!â
âDream on.â Tianming clenched his teeth before continuing, âRight, did you see my caelum?â
âYes, why?â
âDid you see the mark on the back of the neck?â Tianming asked.
âYes.â
âCan you help me remove it?â
âI canât. Who knows what the hell that is? Maybe youâll even die from it.â The Archaionfiend turned gleeful.
âNonsense, the caelum exists outside the body. It wonât affect the body or vita even if itâs gone,â Xiaoxiao said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI suppose so! Anyways, all I know is how to eat caelum.â It was difficult to tame its unruly nature. The Bloodrose Curse couldnât change it at all.
Xiaoxiao returned it to her lifebound space, then said, âLeave this to me. Iâll follow up on this and make sure its not lying.â
âYes, thatâs all we can do for now.â Tianming nodded.
âWeâre in a symbiotic relationship, so it canât hide anything from me for very long.â
âUnderstood! Is Feiling cultivating?â Tianming asked.
âYes. She saw you were picking a sword art, so she began her ascension to the Sovereign stage,â Xiaoxiao replied.
âOkay.â
âRight, I saw that you would talk to the air when you were at Darkfiend City. Who was it?â Xiaoxiao curiously asked.
Fortunately, she couldn't see it. âJust the wondersky fairy!â
âAh, I see. And here I thought it was some beauty from your tone,â Xiaoxiao said with disdain.
Tianming was speechless. A womanâs intuition really was something else. âYou could tell?â he asked.
âNo, Lingâer said it first.â Xiaoxiao had a nasty grin. âLittle Fish thought so as well.â
âNo need to guess! I can even draw that woman out!â Xian Xianâs spiritual body popped out and started chattering away.
âThat wondersky fairy was female and very sexy. Her heavenly pattern barriers were even bigger than my head. Li Tianming even scratched her so hard there was blood,â Ji Ji coldly added as her spiritual body flew out as well
âWhat?â A beauty in a blue dress who was coming over just happened to hear those words.
âItâs over!â All Tianming saw was darkness ahead.
â¦â¦
After the initial chaos, peace returned to Tianmingâs days. The sun passed through star cluster after star cluster. It quickly flew past everything, its cloaking formation helping it keep a low profile. On the sun itself, it was hard to notice it was moving. However, Tianming could keep track of the sunâs position through Ji Jiâs star map and continued on course for the Infinitum Mundusâs core region.
A lone star continued pushing on toward the field of stars ahead. Even though the sun was now a skypiercer-class world, their destination was still over ten thousand times brighter than them.
âI canât imagine just how big that world is.â How big was the Infinitum Mundus? The sunâs journey through it could be considered a âsmallâ trip.
Just this short journey had let them encounter quite a few ownerless nova source worlds. Some were guarded by people, while others lacked them. Naturally, those without people were quickly absorbed. As for those with people, Tianming would usually send out Weisheng Moran to fight. The results were the same as with Fang Dadingâthe opponents would accept the battle and quickly leave after losing.
Thus, the sun had managed to become twenty times Violetgloryâs size after devouring three unowned nova sources. It also naturally became faster.
