Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 3100 - You're Keeping That in Mind?

Chapter 3100 - You’re Keeping That in Mind?

Tianming hadn't completely ignored Lan Yun's reasons. He could only say that she had her own logic.

And her logic was also the universal values of Myriadpath Valley. Myriadpath Valley not only didn't prohibit disciples from killing each other or exercising privileges, but even amplified those conflicts, turning it into a Scorn Valley. To Myriadpath Valley, only in that way could the primal driving force of desire be maintained, creating a society with a strict hierarchy and keeping pract.i.tioners thirsty and angry!

It was just like earning money; how can you earn it without desire? You must dream of getting it to be crazily eager. Only in such a fiercely compet.i.tive place, more brutal than any other, could the powerhouses that rose up dominate the astralscape and continue reigning supreme.

In fact, it had been proven that cultivators of Myriadpath Valley weren’t just stronger than those in other mundi, but also more ruthless and cruel. It was because of that that Myriadpath Valley had always been supreme.

Exactly because of such universal values, here, being powerful and having a background was the only way to go. No matter what path you took or what demonic technique you practiced, being powerful was all that mattered.

So it was perfectly reasonable for a powerful figure like Huang Daosheng to casually trample on an old cleaner. Who would care? The weak were meant to be beaten. Myriadpath Valley simply showcased the law of the jungle more vividly.

In comparison, the Infinitum Bodhimanda could be considered a civilized society. At least the various regal clans all balanced each other out.

“In Myriadpath Valley, the rise and fall of houses is all too common. Powerhouses fall and new kings are crowned. For example, just a thousand years ago, a fierce civil war broke out here. The previous valley lord was defeated and fell on the spot, while the new valley lord rose against the heavens and dominated the astralscape....” Lan Yun had just said that when she suddenly closed her mouth in a hurry.

“Why stop there?” Tianming asked.

“I don't want to die. If you don't want to die either, don't talk about this topic in the future,” Lan Yun said.

“All right!” Tianming felt that those powerhouses standing over his head in Myriadpath Valley seemed to be shrouded in mist. He couldn't touch the world they were in just yet. Even Lan Yun, a reverend, might only be considered the lowest tier of that peak powerhouse world.

“But!” Lan Yun turned her head to look at Huang Daosheng, the Little Lion King, and said, “If you really have the ability to kill him in the Fortuna Ranking, then maybe no one will suppress you.”

“Because of you?” Tianming asked.

“Not at all. If a prospective eminent was killed by my disciple, I guess I’d be punished too,” Lan Yun said.

“Then why?” Tianming asked. Although he was far from being a match for the Little Lion King now, he eventually wanted to kill him, so he had to inquire first.

“The main reason lies with you. You're much younger than Huang Daosheng, and you're the only person with a red surname on the Fortuna Ranking. And his rank is very high. If a red-named person like you can kill a prospective eminent, wouldn’t that mean you have even more potential to become an eminent? So even if there is a punishment, you won't die,” Lan Yun said.

“I see.” Tianming nodded.

“You’re really keeping that in mind?” Lan Yun rolled her eyes. “Do you really think you can compare with the Little Lion King in talent?”

“Why not? I'm not even a hundred years old, and I'm the only person with a red surname on the Fortuna Ranking. There shouldn't be any problem in reaching the top of the Fortuna Ranking by the time I'm five hundred years old. While I’m at it, I'll also take the first place on the Maniverse Ranking.” Tianming confidently smiled.

Pfft. Lan Yun chuckled. No matter how cold she was, she couldn't help but laugh a little. However, her laughter was not natural; it was more born of helplessness, lamentation, and even a bit of contempt.

“You're still from a mundus, after all. No matter what, you carry some of their arrogance and ignorance. Although it's a bit silly, it's cute. But in the future, don't talk about such naive things. I'm afraid others will hear and laugh at me, too.” Lan Yun glanced at him, and even though she was his master, her eyes were filled with disdain when looking at Tianming.

That kind of look made him extremely uncomfortable. It showed that although Lan Yun valued him, she also fundamentally looked down on mundus disciples. It was deeply ingrained. She herself was still a reverend who grew up in Myriadpath Valley as a gold ring disciple in the end.

The look of disdain made Tianming quite unhappy. Her proud gaze, upturned nose, the cold smile at the corner of her mouth, her slender neck... all of it seemed to look down on Tianming.

“Looking down on me? Don't be surprised if, one day, you're kneeling in front of me, begging for mercy.” He didn't need to ask to know why she had such an opinion. He was a tainted beastmaster.

Up to now, those who knew him in Myriadpath Valley still believed that his extraordinary combat power at such a young age was due to a mutation, prematurely exhausting his physical limits. Lan Yun even knew that Tianming had used order fragments, so she also held that view. She didn’t believe he was a prospective eminent.

Being able to perform well in Myriadpath Valley wasn't difficult, but saying that he would become number one on the Fortuna Ranking was too ignorant for Lan Yun.

“Just wait.” Tianming understood himself; because of the evil impulses, his anger, desire, and even the thought of conquest had all been magnified. He deeply knew the reasons for his impulsiveness and dominance. But emotions were something that even knowing didn't help as they just suddenly and uncontrollably erupted.

For example, just now when Lan Yun had looked down on him, what he wanted was to slap her face, then conquer her in matters of men and women and make her cry and beg for mercy in front of him.

In the past, that possibility existed, but it was certainly very small. It was a normal reaction, but it would never exceed reason. And now, not only had it exceeded reason, but it’d also made him feel an urgent and extreme desire. That desire transformed into a need for strength, making his mind singlemindedly focused on becoming stronger and achieving his goal, just to get her!

What’s human nature? He was a little confused himself, struggling between evil impulses and reason. The question was ultimately tied to another question. What’s the real me? What’s my true nature? Is my cultivation driven by divinity or beastliness?

I hope to find the answer in the strict and murderous society of Myriadpath Valley!

If he couldn’t figure it out, he wouldn’t think about it. At the very least, the desperate desire for strength wouldn't be wrong. The previous Tianming had needed stronger desire and ambition, and now he didn't lack them anymore. The evil impulses had brought out all those things.

So now, what he needed was to calm down.
