Chapter 3165 - The Busiest Day in Myriadpath Valley

The list had been announced on the Midsky Myriadpath Stele. The colors of the names followed the same format as the Fortuna and Maniverse Rankings. There were two people per group, and they were divided into two major paths: the Fortuna Path and the Maniverse Path.

The Maniverse Path side was normal; all the names were gold. There were four hundred in total, with half of them from the Three Exalted Houses.

On the Fortuna Path side, half of the participants were also from the Three Exalted Houses. However, one group’s color combination starkly stood out. Normal color combinations, like Suishen Yao and Suishen Shuang, had their ‘Suishen’ in blue and their names in gold. But one group was extremely messy, having four colors between two people.

Suishen Zhao, orange and gold!

Li Tianming, red and black!

The opponents who had once faced each other in the showdown between the youngest geniuses had now become teammates on the Prehistoric Path. The youngest team in history was even more of a topic than Suishen Yao and Suishen Shuang.

So, over the past five days, Tianming had once again became the talk of Myriadpath Valley. And this time, even hotter than before.

“Out of eight hundred people, he’s the only black ring disciple! It’s really conspicuous.”

“I heard this kid has incredible luck. His protector, Reverend Lan Yun, was just killed by a mysterious person and he immediately latched onto House Suishen! Previously, some said Suishen Yao was just playing around, but now he’s directly teamed up with Suishen Zhao.”

“This kid and Suishen Zhao might really have a friendship based on mutual admiration.”

“Not friends, it should be more like master and servant!”

“Being a servant is pretty good, too. Not even eminents outside the Three Exalted Houses would dare to provoke Suishen Zhao’s servant.”

“A black ring disciple is such a humble status, yet he rose to the heavens overnight!”

Under the Midsky Myriadpath Stele, tens of thousands of Myriadpath Valley disciples were fervently discussing that one red and black name. It was especially hard for the black ring disciples not to feel envious.

If Tianming were a bit older and at a higher level, many black ring disciples would probably see him as an honor and a role model.

“Rising to the heavens in one step? You’re speaking too soon.”

“I feel like Suishen Zhao brought him along to test his limits. If the kid can’t keep up, he’ll be worthless.”

“If he performs poorly on the Prehistoric Path, he might immediately get kicked out.”

“Although the Three Exalted Houses are supreme, it isn’t easy to attach yourself to them! In comparison, although Reverend Lan Yun was far inferior to the Three Exalted Houses, at least she was a true master.”

“House Huang won’t let him off easy. If he can’t secure his place with House Suishen, he’s doomed.”

“That’s why one shouldn’t show off too early.”

Amidst such discussions, the day the Prehistoric Path opened arrived. A massive gathering of fortuna and maniverse disciples took place near the entrance of Myriadpath Valley.

There were as many as six hundred thousand of them, meaning most of Myriadpath Valley’s disciples were present. Nearly all were third-level cosmic cartographers or above, representing the peak life forms of the Million Mundi. Yet, today, none of them had the qualification to enter the Prehistoric Path.

Only eight hundred did! Four hundred for the Fortuna Path and four hundred for the Maniverse Path. The quotas had long been allocated by the Three Exalted Houses.

Part of the quotas were arranged according to the rankings on the Fortuna and Maniverse Rankings, like the top hundred ranks. Another part was internally distributed. Suishen Zhao had an internal quota, and Tianming’s invitation was thus also an internal quota.

Huang Daosheng had initially had a quota, but he used Yumo Yuanni’s internal quota, freeing up a spot for the 101st place on the Fortuna Ranking. However, even with an internal distribution, there was no doubt that these eight hundred were the current top monstrous geniuses in the universe.

Suishen Zhao, for instance, held an internal quota. But who would dare question his future?

If someone dared to say he would definitely become an eminent in the future, it would be considered offensive because it was obvious. If Suishen Zhao didn’t become an eminent, it would be a joke for House Suishen.

But if Huang Daosheng became an eminent, it would be an honor for his family for generations!

The difference was starkly clear.

These top geniuses were truly impressive, and to be among them made Tianming’s blood boil.

Of course, his competitors weren’t exactly the other seven hundred and ninety-nine, but rather the hundred and ninety-nine groups of Fortuna disciples. The maniverse disciples could be ignored. Although he had a rivalry with Suishen Yuan and Suishen Yue in terms of reputation, there were no prizes in that context.

“Nine divine idols....” Now he was just eagerly waiting for the nine divine idols to appear, so he could see them.

“Tens of thousands of Myriadpath Valley disciples!” Looking down, it was indeed the busiest day in Myriadpath Valley. There was a vast sea of people that included not only disciples, but at least a million myriadpath saints who were all foundationeers. However, the saints were more dispersed and without as strong a sense of competitiveness. After all, they had passed the age for such things.

Myriadpath saints were akin to Myriadpath Valley’s army. All the reges mundi of the Million Mundi combined probably didn't number more than that. They were the foundation of Myriadpath Valley.

Fortunately, I returned from the Xenoabyss in time. A few days later and I would’ve missed this grand event in Myriadpath Valley.

Tianming was moved. It was such a grand sight that, not just him, but even the maniverse disciples were nervous.

Moreover, even stronger beings were arriving!

Thousands of reverends flew in at that moment from the depths of Myriadpath Valley. Reverend Daolie, Reverend Qingyuan, and others were among them. All were at least fifth-level foundationeers. They hovered above the area, looking down upon the proud beings of Myriadpath Valley.

A thousand people’s aura was enough to suppress millions.

“So fierce!”

But it wasn’t over.

“Greetings, Eminents!” Before all the reverends had taken their seats, over a hundred even more top-tier beings descended from the clouds. All the disciples and saints of Myriadpath Valley knelt, and the reverends weren’t an exception.

Tianming saw over a hundred eminents descending. Eminent Tiankui was just one of them.

The reverends and eminents weren’t the full force of Myriadpath Valley, but to be honest, just the presence of a hundred eminents and a thousand reverends had already stunned the entire crowd.

The lineup further demonstrated the significance of the Prehistoric Path.

Tianming quietly looked up and saw that Eminent Tiankui could only stand at the edge of the group. Most of the eminents were middle-aged or older, each with an outstanding demeanor and profound depth. Among them was a young-looking eminent, whom Tianming recognized as Suishen Yao and Suishen Zhao’s father, Eminent Ranxing.

“To date, he should be the strongest person I’ve seen in Myriadpath Valley!” It showed the high status of Suishen Zhao and Suishen Yao. This time, Eminent Ranxing seemed to be the host for the opening of the Prehistoric Path.

Upon their arrival, everyone bowed.

“Rise!” Eminent Ranxing’s powerful voice swept across the scene, and as soon as everyone stood up, he raised his hand and announced, “The Prehistoric Path opens!”

Suishen Zhao couldn’t help but say, “As expected of my father, not a single wasted word. Others would’ve given a half-hour speech.”

It showed that his father was an intense person. Tianming felt it, too. Suishen Yao feared no one but her father, and maybe her grandfather. The entire family consisted of top-tier figures in the universe.

Just as Suishen Zhao finished speaking, a loud rumble came from the sky that made Tianming sharply look up.

“The Prehistoric Path has appeared!” Amidst the rolling clouds in the sky, two parallel cloud paths began forming from the Midsky Myriadpath Stele, extending into the deepest depths of the valley!

It was like a rainbow bridge spanning across Myriadpath Valley, magnificent, grand, and majestic!

“The Prehistoric Path begins at the Midsky Myriadpath Stele and ends at the Myriadpath Sourcespring! The path leads to the spring. Bear the weight of history on your backs as you forge onward!” With Eminent Ranxing’s grand declaration, the Prehistoric Path took shape, shaking everyone’s hearts.

Such grandeur made Tianming’s heart pound. Lan Yun, Huang Daolie... they were all part of Myriadpath Valley. The grandeur of the Prehistoric Path was also part of the valley.

What kind of place was it? Tianming was still slowly understanding.

Just as the Prehistoric Path took shape, Eminent Ranxing’s powerful voice rang out again. “Maniverse disciples, step onto the ancient path, inherit an era, comprehend the profound, and seize destiny!”

These sixteen words reverberated in the hearts of every participant.

“What does he mean?” Tianming asked.

“I don’t know, it might have something to do with the Myriadpath Valley’s nova source world era.” Suishen Zhao replied.

“Prehistoric Path? The time before history....” Tianming understood. The nova source world era before the history of Myriadpath Valley was shrouded in mystery. The Three Exalted Houses that had existed since that era were also mysterious.

And the Prehistoric Path might explore that mystery.

“Stop talking, let’s go! The first idol is about to descend,” Suishen Zhao called out to him.

The people around them were pairing up and soaring into the sky, heading toward the starting point of the Prehistoric Path.

“Let’s go!” Tianming was much faster than Suishen Zhao and he followed closely behind him with Fiveway Blitzrun, his gaze fixed on the grand Prehistoric Path.

From below, the path was almost transparent, except for being occasionally obscured by clouds. Thus, the disciples and saints below could clearly see their performance.

As for the reverends and eminents on either side, they had an even clearer view.

Fortuna Path, Maniverse Path!

Among them, the thousand reverends seemed mainly focused on the Fortuna Path, while the hundred eminents were watching the Maniverse Path. As for Eminent Ranxing, even though his two children were on the Fortuna Path, perhaps choosing a worthy son-in-law might be more important to him.

Tianming didn’t think too much, and he and Suishen Zhao stepped onto the Fortuna Path together. He felt like he was walking on clouds. Before them was a bridge of clouds leading into the depths of Myriadpath Valley and behind them was the Midsky Myriadpath Stele, the largest stele in Myriadpath Valley.

The eight hundred names brightly gleamed.

Tianming immediately saw his own name. The name his parents had given him shining here was a kind of honor.

“The idol’s descending, hurry up!”
