Beastmaster of the Ages

”Pathkeeper Li... Killed Eminent Jinxuan?”

”It’s definitely no joke....”

Only a few had received word about that, and were hounded as a result by the other eminents and reverends on the scene who simply couldn’t believe what they’d heard.

”That’s harder to believe than the fact that Eminents Jiguang and Xiyue reached the major zenith all of a sudden.”

”Impossible. It must be made up. Pathkeeper Li is nothing but a child. He’s still in the Fortuna Ranking...!”

Countless elite foundationeers shook their heads in puzzlement.

”It’s true! The news is spreading! Quite a few people have seen it!”

”I heard that everyone in Suishen Cave already knows. How else would I receive news about it?”

”While the battle here was still ongoing, people couldn’t be bothered to check their transmission stones. They should’ve heard about it by now!”

As they said that, everyone took out their transmission stones to tell people about how the battle had concluded, as well as information about Tianming.

”Eminent Jiguang, does Pathkeeper Li really have that kind of power?”

The cultivators turned to look at her. They knew that she had been the one protecting him this entire time. Apart from Suishen Yao, she should be the only other person who was that close to him.

”Pathkeeper Li is terrifying....” Their voices turned into incoherent mumbles.

Suishen Jiguang pursed her lips, her eyes reflecting the complex feelings within her. She’d been fighting the entire time and had only received news from Suishen Ling about the details. The other Suishen elites had also been fighting, so they also found out about Tianming around the same time as the others there.

When she had first heard it, Suishen Jiguang doubtfully narrowed her eyes. Suishen Xiyue, on the other hand, had her mouth open in shock. She had no idea that her son-in-law would be that devilishly talented. ”A third-level foundationeer just defeated an eminent six levels above him....”

Every eminent was no doubt a peak talent across the entire Million Mundi, yet such a genius had just been defeated by someone six levels inferior. Nobody could really comprehend the implications; it sounded like something out of myth!

”Sister Xiyue, what should I say?” Suishen Jiguang asked.

”Since news already spread from Suishen Cave, there’s no way for us to hide it. Let’s announce it then. That child is affiliated with House Suishen. His immense talent can only secure our position even further from today onward. He’ll be the image of the future for all in Myriadpath Valley. The only disadvantage would be that it’ll make House Yumo even more cautious and afraid of us.”

Fortunately, House Yumo’s grudge against House Qitian was much stronger than everything else. It wouldn’t be easy for them to focus on vengeance over survival. That was why Suishen Xiyue hadn’t planned to focus on them from the very beginning.

”Okay!” Suishen Jiguang had long known that Tianming could fight people six levels above him, so she was aware from the moment he’d announced that he had reached the third level.

Turning to look at the doubtful elites, she said, ”Tianming is the kind of genius with no precedent in history. There’ll also never be another like him. Over the past decades, not only has he experienced a breakthrough, his rate of growth hasn’t slowed at all. It’s definitely possible that he killed Eminent Jinxuan, considering his current ability to fight ninth-level foundationeers—”

Before she finished, the people near the Progenitor’s Altar went wild. Their voices and frenzied yells completely drowned out her voice. Considering her character and reputation, everyone trusted her every word, especially after the results of the battle.

”Someone under two hundred managed to kill an eminent.... If someone who was around a thousand years old killed an eminent, it’d make them a legend, let alone this!”

”Fellas, I can’t breathe.... Tell me, what kind of aberration is this?”

They snapped their heads toward Suishen Cave, unable to even blink. They wanted Tianming to appear before them more than anything so they could scrutinize him.

”I feel like I’ve lived long enough to see everything....”

”I thought that Eminent Jiguang reaching the major zenith at around two thousand years old had already made history. Who knew that Pathkeeper Li’s meteoric rise would be an even greater miracle than that?”

”Can I see that miracle with my own eyes? Why don’t we let Pathkeeper Li challenge the Maniverse Ranking?”

”Don’t worry, the time will definitely come! There’s no way they can put the cat back into the bag!”

Tianming’s fame and reputation grew even more in Myriadpath Valley. Every living person who’d suffered the shock of hearing about Suishen Hongtian and the tensource beast’s deaths had been shaken even more than before!

”People used to say that Pathkeeper Li’s talent would run out after the Cosmic Cartography stage. Let’s see where those naysayers are now! Pathkeeper Li’s talent in the Foundation stage is at least ten times more potent!”

”Surely, that can no longer be within human capabilities, right? What kind of monstrous manifestation of the heavenly laws is he? Even the geniuses from the Three Exalted Houses look like dust in contrast to his brilliant luster....”

Myriadpath Valley had been shaken to begin with, but with Suishen Jiguang’s confirmation, their foundations themselves seemed to rumble. Even cultivators who had been in seclusion for years rushed out to gather and talk about the hottest new topic.

The entire valley was as volatile as a pot of boiling oil, and that oil had been boiled by one single youth! His name was called tens of millions of times in mere moments, to the point where cultivator after cultivator burned his mythical exploits into their minds.

The fact that he had made it to Myriadpath Valley at all meant that he was one of the very few who were chosen! Their eyes shone bright as they spoke of him, marking the arrival of the Primordial God-Emperor’s path of sovereignhood in Myriadpath Valley. Finally, omnisentient threads formed!

There could be no place where it was more difficult for the threads to form. After all, everyone in Myriadpath Valley was a prideful cultivator that far surpassed most of the chaff in the Million Mundi! How hard would it be to truly give them a change of heart?

But once Tianming managed to conquer the backbone and brains of the Million Mundi and continue spreading his legend throughout, it would be much easier for the Tianming Dynasty to take hold. The brightly burning stars would illuminate all!

Tianming could sense the first sparks from Suishen Cave. It wasn’t much, but each thread was connected to a peak astral god or foundationeer. Their energy was millions of times more powerful than a normal god’s! The embers would one day spread like wildfire across Myriadpath Valley.
