Beastmaster of the Ages

Within a small, hidden room in the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb stood Tianming, dressed as a jailer with a whip in his hand.
Before him was a beauty the likes of which the world had never seen dressed as a prisoner.
Her hands and legs were tied up, and her hair was a mess.
Her tears pitifully flowed down her charming face.

”Ahem…. ” Tianming cleared his throat and shot her a stern look.
”State your name. ”

”Jiang Feiling, ” she fearfully said.

”Age? ”

”Eighteen…. ”

”Nonsense! You look at least ten million years old to me! ”

”Fine, I ’m infinite years old, ” she relented, blowing a raspberry.

”Enough nonsense and speak only when spoken to! What is your cultivation level? ”

”Back in the Kunlan realm, I underwent a second Perpetual Nirvana.
There were around a hundred waves of cyclic bugs, and I was only able to break through a tiny level after each wave.
At the end, I felt that I’d become incredibly powerful, ” she weakly said.

”A hundred waves, and one level each wave? You were already a solarian, and you claim to have broken through a hundred times? Do you take your warden for a joke? If you don ’t answer me honestly, punishments will be in order! ”

Slaps fell as she bit her lip and shot him a pitiful glance.
”Fine, I was confused.
I can ’t be sure how powerful I was.
Basically, the cyclic bugs grew more and more in number until I had to use Vaporize to properly destroy the Well of Reincarnation.
Almost all the levels I built up have been wiped clean.
Now I ’ve fallen below the sovereign level and have become a twelfth-level solarian. ”

Tianming had also witnessed her unleashing Vaporize through the misty projections above the lake.
It must have been even more impressive in real life.
The fact that she could fight so many cyclic bugs alone near the end was already quite terrifying.
She had probably regained most of her power as the ruler of Perpetia, though it was ultimately reset.

”Even though I fell back down, I ’ve already walked the path once.
It ’ll be much simpler in the future.
I ’ll definitely level up faster than you, hehe.
You won ’t be able to catch up to me! ” Feiling seemed chipper and brighter since she returned.
The way she playfully poked her tongue out was irresistibly charming.
This was the rainbow after the storm.
Through her tribulation, she had managed to let go of some baggage and returned to her former naive and cute self, like she was the time she first met him.

”Nonsense! You are not to laugh and giggle before my authority! ” Tianming said, putting up a poker face.

”Oh! ” She lowered her head once again.

”Let me ask you again: what skills do you have? What state are you in now? What are you good at? ” He continued the ’interrogation ’.

”Well…
I suppose they mainly fall under the Kunlan Worldwings and the city of Perpetia, ” she said.

”I ’ll need a detailed description of that. ”

”Fine.
The Kunlan Worldwings are primalwings.
They were left behind by the old me, and I ’ve fully absorbed them, though they ’re still in a sealed state.
They ’ll grow as I raise my level again.
The more I have, the more primalwings I can use.
Before I used Vaporize, I could use them to their full potential.
Now, they’re about the first level, so I can only use around ten primalwings, including the Flashsoul Skywings and Sapphire Skywings from before.
But that ’s still quite a lot of options. ”

After saying that, the Kunlan Worldwings on her back glimmered.
Each feather looked like a different primalwing in a sealed state.
Tianming had seen the previous wings before and felt that they were already powerful enough.
He could only imagine how much more shocking the fully unlocked Kunlan Worldwings would be.
Feiling was the ruler of Perpetia, after all, the one who was on good terms with two Primordial Chaos Beasts in the dreamscape.
He felt that she had more tricks than his lifebound beasts did.

”What about Perpetia? Can it be used as a weapon? ”

”More or less.
It ’s like a domain or a formation.
My spacetime abilities work better within Perpetia, a seemingly infinite city.
Based on my memories, it ’s a city that’s like an entire world.
While I ’m just a twelfth-level solarian now, if I pull the enemy into Perpetia, I should be able to take on second- or third-level sovereigns.
You can also fight against even more powerful sovereigns within Perpetia with your Omnisentient Threads and my help. ” As she spoke, a snow-white city appeared on her palm and slowly spun, letting out a mystical energy.
It was a city that was unbound by space or time.

Tianming had a clearer picture after her explanation.
All in all, she had many abilities relating to the primalwings and Perpetia, primarily focusing on control.
Needless to say, her value as a combat asset had soared after her second Perpetual Nirvana, measuring more than a Primordial Chaos Beast.
With her and Ji Ji joining the team, Tianming ’s combined might had risen even higher.

”Additionally, the entrance of the Kunlan Realm isn ’t gone, only moved to Perpetia.
My Kunlan Worldwings are the progenitor of all primalwings, so I can grant them primalwings to make their people stronger.
In some ways, the primalwingers are the real owners of Perpetia. ” Not to mention, she wouldn ’t lose anything by granting primalwings to others.
The primalwingers were her people.

”Alright, it sounds somewhat decent, ” Tianming said, clearing his throat.

”My lord, since I already answered you truthfully, can you release me now? ” she asked, feigning weakness.

”Let you go? Without any punishment? In your dreams! You are guilty! ”

”Guilty of what? ”

”Of stealing my heart! It ’s unforgivable! I have to keep interrogating you with this whip! ”

”Oh, no…
anything but the whip…. ”

The rest didn ’t need to be spelled out.

……

Apart from combat changes, Feiling had also unlocked another thing that had something to do with the Heavenly Unity of her nails.
Knowledge of divine celestial patterns had appeared in her mind, allowing her to find any answer to questions about fusion and astralguard formations, even high-leveled ones.
If she really wanted to, she could become one of the greatest formation and tome gurus with enough practice, making her even more versatile than before.
She could even help recover the damaged formations of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb or Eye of the Blood Abyss.
With her around, the future of the sun was even brighter than before.
