Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3167 - The Second Idol

"Thirty breaths?" Tianming had been unaware of the passage of time while clashing with the vitality idol.

"The fastest record in history?" The five words made him pause for a moment. He didn't expect to break Myriadpath Valley’s records.

He had expected that there would be faster people, but when he came out, the group behind him remained motionless, all frowning in concentration.

And while they were busy frowning, the rest of the Myriadpath Valley exploded! Hundreds of thousands of disciples, over a million saints, and over a thousand reverends who were following the Fortuna Path....

"Thirty breaths!" Even Suishen Zhao himself was numb and unable to react for a long time. He blankly stared at the Midsky Myriadpath Stele!

It originally had the names of the participants listed there, but now it’d been changed to rankings and scores. There were currently only two names now: the orange-and-gold Suishen Zhao and the red-and-black Li Tianming!

There was a very eye-catching ‘1’ right in front of their names, with 'thirty breaths' recorded at the side. The ranking and score told Suishen Zhao and everyone else that the breaking of the Myriadpath Valley record by their team was real.

Countless people excitedly discussed the team, and Tianming and Suishen Zhao became the focus of the entire Myriadpath Valley for a while. Even those eminents who were following the Maniverse Path noticed the commotion. Among them, the parents of Suishen Yuan and Suishen Shuang, Suishen Cang and Suishen Ling, were standing next to Eminent Ranxing.

With parents who were both eminents from House Suishen, the status of Suishen Yuan and Suishen Shuang was supreme in the astralscape

Suishen Cang wore a blue and white robe and had a flowing beard, while his eyes were like the boundless sea. Hearing the discussion, he turned his head and his gaze surged like waves. "Ranxing, look at your son!"

When Eminent Ranxing turned his head and looked at the Midsky Myriadpath Stele and the Fortuna Path, he coincidentally met Suishen Zhao’s gaze.

"Thirty breaths?" Eminent Ranxing narrowed his eyes.

"Congratulations, Ranxing!"

"Your son, Suishen Zhao, broke the historical record of the Myriadpath Valley."

"His future’s boundless!"

"Thirty breaths is a bit ridiculous. Such talent guarantees a promising future."

A group of eminents praised Suishen Zhao one after another. Even Suishen Zhao would be honored to receive recognition from so many of them. With his youth, he needed the recognition.

At that moment, Suishen Zhao had a halo around him.

"Little Zhao’s really good! In the future, he’ll be the backbone of us totemancers." Suishen Shuang's mother, Suishen Ling, nodded in praise. Obviously, she was also delighted that the future son-in-law of hers was so amazing.

Other eminents, especially those from the other two houses of the Three Exalted Houses, all had some changes in their expressions. But on the surface, they all congratulated Eminent Ranxing.

Eminent Ranxing glanced at Suishen Zhao a few more times. He looked puzzled for a moment, but soon relaxed and smiled at the other eminents, saying, "It may be that he just happened to luckily comprehend the method of passing the vitality idol. But the Fortuna Path is still long. It's already good for Little Zhao to grasp a bit of the mysteries of the Prehistoric Path."

"Humble words, Ranxing."

The eminents’ side was relatively quiet. In other places, including the reverends, the discussions were heated.

"By the way, could this short clear time be related to Li Tianming?" Reverend Qingyuan mused with some concern.

"Even for House Suishen, the fastest record for passing the vitality idol since ancient times is a hundred breaths. I feel that Suishen Zhao isn’t unfathomably better to that extent. It should be related to Li Tianming...." Reverend Jianshu frowned.

"Nonsense!" Reverend Daolie grit his teeth, his face full of gloom.

After Lan Yun's death, they had been overjoyed and were waiting for the House Suishen siblings to forget about Tianming, but it turned out to be the opposite. Not only had they not forgotten, but they’d instead become closer.

And now they were the first team in the Fortuna Path! Was it a joke?

"If it really is Li Tianming’s merit, Suishen Zhao will be grateful to him in his heart! Then our big grudge...." Reverend Qingyuan's face turned purple.

To be honest, she wouldn’t hold such a big grudge if one disciple died. The main reason was that everyone around her knew about it. It was embarrassing if a reverend couldn't handle even one black ring disciple.

Of course, compared to Huang Daolie, she was much better off. Now, the most anxious and unhappy one was Huang Daolie.

Most of the reverends around knew that he had tried to cheat his son into first place. Now that Tianming was getting more and more famous, the way they looked at him was getting weirder.

The entire House Huang had lost face!

"It's definitely Suishen Zhao's own accomplishment, not related to Li Tianming! What comprehension talent can a tainted beastmaster have? No one in the universe can compare to House Suishen in pure comprehension talent!" Reverend Daolie coldly said.

In cultivation, comprehension, and breakthroughs, totemancers with their talent, bane-rings, and terrae indeed surpassed the other two houses. Could Tianming be stronger than Suishen Zhao in that aspect? Huang Daolie didn't believe it.

In fact, the entire Myriadpath Valley audience didn't believe it. They basically unanimously believed that the record had been broken by Suishen Zhao.

Suishen Zhao heard all these discussions.

"No—" Suishen Zhao wanted to clarify.

But before he could speak, Tianming, who was beside him, quickly said in a low voice, "Don't say anything for now."

"Why?" Suishen Zhao asked.

"Minor Pathkeeper, my status is low and I can't bear too much spotlight. It would provoke jealousy. Besides, there’s still several more idols. I want to go further..." Tianming said.

"Are you afraid that if the reverends know it was you, they won't let a black ring disciple go far?" Suishen Zhao asked with a frown.

"Yes," Tianming replied.

Black ring disciples, to put it bluntly, were outsiders, and the Prehistoric Path was a core resource of the Myriadpath Valley. Tianming didn't know what the reverends would think, but he felt it was best to not attract too much attention since the path was just beginning.

"Alright! We can talk about it after a few more trials. Tianming, I have to say, you’re truly amazing. I hadn’t even properly understood what was going on yet" Suishen Zhao was still in shock.

"But if I pass too quickly, won't it affect your comprehension of the idol?" Tianming asked.

"A little. But it's okay, there’s more idols ahead, and they get more complicated. If you continue being so impressive, even if I miss out, as long as we get into the top ten, both your tenfold rewards and my fivefold rewards will be incredible!" Suishen Zhao said with excitement. He’d originally thought it would be impossible to get into the top ten, but now he had some hope!

"Right now, we are first!" Tianming looked at the Midsky Myriadpath Stele again, feeling exhilarated.

"We are, but it's basically impossible to keep it. The second trial, the eternal idol, tests combat ability. Our eternal idol will be weaker than others, but not by much. After the second round, it’ll be good if we stay in the top hundred!" Suishen Zhao helplessly said.

"Top hundred?" Tianming indeed had no assurance in his combat ability.

For example, both people in Suishen Shuang and Suishen Yao’s team were foundationeers. Their combined strength far exceeded that of Tianming's group. If their opponent's strength was similar, the time difference would be huge! Tianming and Suishen Zhao might even be suppressed by the eternal idol and fail to pass the second round, which meant their ranking would stop there.

That would be no joke, because usually, more than forty groups would be eliminated in the first round with the vitality idol.

"Now we have to wait for everyone to finish the first round before we collectively face the eternal idol?" Tianming asked.

"Yes."

"How long do you think it’ll take for all the results to be revealed?" Tianming asked.

"Maybe a day!" Suishen Zhao said.

"Can I leave for a while?" Tianming asked.

"There’s no restriction, but if the time comes and you're not back, it’ll be disastrous. Our group would be directly eliminated. So normally, there's no need," Suishen Zhao said.

Because the end time for the vitality idol was uncertain as it depended on those still challenging, there was a risk.

"No problem, I'll be back in an hour at most." Tianming smiled. The vitality idol had let his radix order rapidly grow. Its significant growth was more stable than using order fragments—it was equivalent to a rapid soul comprehension like an epiphany.

He wanted to leave for a while to condense his fourth cosmic chart, which would hopefully be useful in the second round.

It was said that comprehending and breaking through on the Prehistoric Path was a sign of extraordinary talent, making a person's talent renowned. Tianming had done so, but he dared not let people know that he only had three cosmic charts. His ability to fight above his level was more terrifying than the top geniuses of Myriadpath Valley, so he had to hide his talent once more.

Keep it hidden for now. For me, Myriadpath Valley has too many uncertain dangers. Hiding an ace might come in handy at a crucial moment, Tianming thought. There would come a time when he couldn't hide it, but he hoped that, by then, he would be stronger than now.

After talking with Suishen Zhao, Tianming was about to leave when Suishen Yao and Suishen Shuang successfully passed the vitality idol. They took a hundred breaths, ranking second. It was comparable to the historical record of the Myriadpath Valley, which was quite outstanding.

The comprehension talent of totemancers was fully displayed. Suishen Yao and Suishen Shuang, ranked third and fifth on the Fortuna Ranking, were indeed impressive.

The two women were counting their clear time.
