Beastmaster of the Ages

The effect of Tianming’s breakthrough was immense. Minor Pathkeeper was ultimately just a code for young genius. But the Greatsun Stele’s legacy could truly put him on the path to be revered even by foundationeers who were thousands of years old.

The upper echelons of Myriadpath Valley erupted in applause and shouts, growing louder and louder. The fervor showed no signs of abating.

Tianming didn’t have time to enjoy it as he entered the world of the legacy to truly comprehend the ’stolen’ Greatsun Suishen Art. Even its first fold held much more symbolic significance than practical value.

The clamor almost shook the Greatsun Stele. At that point, the twenty or so eminents fully immersed in the Greatsun Suishen Stele were finally awakened, having been forcibly interrupted. That was how immersed they had been. The eminents at the other steles were only stopped when someone specifically went to shout at them.

Because of that, Eminent Ranxing was quite displeased when he was forcibly interrupted. He had been in the zone the past few days and his efficiency in absorbing the golden divine birds had gone up. Thus, he had planned to continue for a few months; four or five days were just the beginning of a cultivation rhythm for him.

He had already sensed the noise a while ago. At first, he hadn’t paid much attention, but it grew progressively louder and louder until, finally, it completely interrupted his thoughts. How could he not be furious?

He turned sharply around at the interruption, about to curse, but suddenly saw millions of people in front of him. They were all fervently cheering, and their gazes were directed at him!

”Hmm?” Eminent Ranxing was stunned. ”Why are there so many people here? What could I have done to deserve such cheers? I’m still far from the fourth level....”

That was when Eminent Ranxing heard it.

”Pathkeeper Li!”

”Congratulations, Pathkeeper Li!”

”It’s the Greatsun Stele, insane! Absolutely insane!”

”He actually got the legacy...!”

The words from the mouths of millions of saints became clearer and clearer to Eminent Ranxing.

”Pathkeeper Li?” He was slightly stunned, then remembered that only one person was called Pathkeeper Li. Li Tianming!

”These people aren’t cheering for me, but for Li Tianming?” When Eminent Ranxing realized that, his expression was one of extreme shock because he couldn’t think of any reason why an outer mundi insect would elicit cheers.

”Impossible!” He noticed that the House Suishen eminents around him were looking down with incredulous gazes and letting out shrill exclamations. The dignified eminents lost their composure one by one.

”Down below?” Eminent Ranxing shuddered and immediately looked down. He finally saw the youth engulfed in golden light, countless golden divine birds roaming on him. He spread his arms, facing a million saints like a king presiding over the world!

Eminent Ranxing instantly saw the ten thousand golden divine birds on him.

”Congratulations, Pathkeeper Li, for obtaining the Greatsun Suishen Stele’s legacy!”

”History’s been made!”

The fervent cheers stung Eminent Ranxing’s ears.

”What?!” Eminent Ranxing’s eyes widened, his eyeballs almost popping out. He had never been so shocked or speechless in his life. Not even Tianming’s achievements on the Prehistoric Path had shocked him so. But this time, a miracle had been born on his own battlefield and he was stiff with shock, unable to react for a long time.

Obtaining the Greatsun Suishen Art was Eminent Ranxing’s proudest achievement and the biggest difference between him and other House Suishen eminents, determining his status. How could such a thing, meant only for the top powerhouses of Myriadpath Valley, happen to a youth under a hundred years old?

He hadn’t witnessed the whole process, so he immediately thought there must be a mistake. However, the golden divine birds on Tianming were real! As the inheritor of the Greatsun Suishen Stele, he knew their value better than anyone.

”Did anyone see the whole process? What exactly happened?” Eminent Ranxing urgently asked the other House Suishen eminents nearby. He appeared calm but was a mess inside, slightly losing his composure. The matter had truly touched the core of his being, shaking his worldview.

And the one who caused all of it was the junior who gave him a headache!

”We don’t know either.”

”I just noticed the commotion myself.”

”Could there be a mistake?”

A mistake? Eminent Ranxing’s burning eyes fixed on Tianming’s left hand. He soon saw all those golden divine birds converging on the back of the hand. The ten thousand divine birds compressed into an area about two centimeters in diameter, forming a sigil of a golden sun.

When the mark took shape, Eminent Ranxing’s eyes violently twitched. His feelings at that moment were much more intense than Suishen Yuan’s inner turmoil. A few days ago, he had told Tianming to leave as soon as possible, but now, that same boy of under a hundred years old had achieved a feat on his level.

”The Solar Sigil’s already formed on his hand.”

”It confirms that he’s truly obtained the Greatsun Stele’s legacy.”

”It’s unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!”

The words were spoken by the House Suishen eminents beside Eminent Ranxing. Most of them knew that Tianming’s position in House Suishen was somewhat awkward. Because of the awkward situation, his brilliant achievement made their feelings very complicated.

The old folks all looked at each other. On paper, they should have been happy, but like Eminent Ranxing, they couldn’t bring themselves to feel any joy!

”Congratulations to House Suishen!”

”Congratulations to Eminent Ranxing!”

The saints didn’t know about their internal conflict. Seeing Eminent Ranxing awake, they all came up to congratulate him with bright smiles.

It made Eminent Ranxing even more conflicted, because, facing the smiling faces, he had to keep up appearances. If he showed any displeasure, many would immediately suspect his opposition to Tianming.

But he couldn’t appear too happy, either, with House Qitian and Yumo watching!

The conflict made Eminent Ranxing more frustrated than ever in his life.

As for Tianming, he was clearly absorbing the essence of the first fold of the Greatsun Suishen Art.
