Chapter 3284 - A Symbol of Pure Blood?

From the perspective of comprehension, the more divine birds there were, the more complex it became to integrate them all. Therefore, each eminent's speed in integrating golden divine birds slowed down as they progressed.

The speed of capturing the first bird was the fastest. That was why Fen Nu hadn’t been too shocked at first. However, when Tianming still maintained the speed of capturing the first bird after having captured several

hundred

birds, it defied common sense. That was the real reason behind the renewed uproar in Myriadpath Valley.

"What does it mean?"

"I've heard that only the purest blood of House Suishen can obtain the legacy of the three great Suishen Steles. Even the slightest taint of other bloodlines would render one ineligible."

"Although he’s captured over five hundred birds in half a day, his capacity to contain them is uncertain. His comprehension speed may also plummet later, so no conclusions can be drawn yet, but...."

"But what?"

"If he really does obtain the first fold of the Greatsun Stele's legacy one day, wouldn't it mean he’s also of pure Suishen blood? The kind that’s never been mixed?"

"How could that be possible?"

"But that's what the Three Exalted Houses say themselves, right? Only the pure-blooded of the Three Exalted Houses can interact with the ten supreme steles."

"It’s what the Three Exalted Houses claim as the symbol of the highest bloodline. If that's the case, I estimate Pathkeeper Li’s status will significantly rise, and he’ll officially become part of the Three Exalted Houses!"

"Will Eminent Ranxing treat him as a priceless treasure, fearing to even breathe too loudly around him?"

"Absolutely! House Suishen was farsighted in protecting Pathkeeper Li first! Their investment was definitely a major gain! I'll say it here today: if Pathkeeper Li truly obtains the Greatsun Suishen Art, gaining the most important bloodline recognition of the Three Exalted Houses, he’ll undoubtedly become a valley lord and the number one person in the astralscape!"

"Wow!"

The one making that bold assertion was a highly respected elder from an august house, not just a random saint speaking nonsense.

"Of course, all of it’s based on Pathkeeper Li obtaining the legacy before reaching the Foundation stage, shattering history again!"

"It isn’t about the time, right? As long as he obtains the legacy, it means his bloodline’s pure!"

Within half a day, tens of thousands of saints had gathered. Everyone who had been at the myriadpath steles had all come. Many disciples who couldn't come up were anxiously pacing below. Even several eminents of House Qitian and House Yumo were watching from afar with strange expressions on their faces.

The eminents around the Twinmoon Stele and the Pentagram Stele were alerted and came to stand beside Suishen Yuan, but those like Eminent Ranxing on the Greatsun Stele weren't disturbed. That was because disturbing them would inevitably disturb Tianming.

Thus, Eminent Ranxing and the others were left unaware as they became the backdrop to Tianming.

"Eminent Ranxing’s here?"

"Did he personally bring Pathkeeper Li here because he knew of his talent?"

"Recently, I heard a rumor that Eminent Ranxing might abandon Pathkeeper Li because of the pressure from the other two houses. Now it seems that that rumor is bullshit. Obviously, Eminent Ranxing knows Li Tianming's bloodline is pure, so he brought him here to raise him to a higher status than pathkeeper! The other two houses probably have nothing to say now."

"Is there such a rumor? It seems the internal dynamics of the Three Exalted Houses are very complex!"

"The jealousy of the other two families is understandable. Right now, Pathkeeper Li is just a genius and not a strong figure, so they still have a chance. Once he becomes truly powerful, they’ll have to shut up."

Many saints were now looking at Tianming with increasingly fervent eyes. They saw in him the realization of their dreams in coming to Myriadpath Valley. Who wouldn't want to rise here and challenge the authority of the Three Exalted Houses?

And Tianming had done it.

Therefore, after gathering over a thousand golden divine birds within a day, more and more saints—especially those without family ties—began regarding Tianming as a god.

"We shouldn't dismiss this junior just because we're older."

"I feel ashamed to have once called myself a genius."

"He hasn't just surpassed us, he’s surpassed the monstrous disciples of the Three Exalted Houses. And he’s even overtaken House Suishen’s eminents who have been cultivating for thousands of years!"

And it was just beginning. When Tianming's speed in capturing the divine birds didn't decrease, but slightly

in

creased, the commotion continued and the number of spectators kept growing. Many eminents from the Three Exalted Houses were already present, the miracle needing them to personally witness it.

Tianming’s immersion was different from others. He wasn't comprehending, so he remained clear-headed. He not only knew that many people had gathered nearby, but could also hear their conversations.

A symbol of pure blood? That’s good. With that symbol, I’ll have more assurance and won’t be considered an outsider. Moreover, it seems these tens of thousands of saints respect me more.

He could indistinctly feel omnisentient threads forming, but it was still in the worship phase. There was still a large gap to reverence, which required either glory or salvation.

Forming omnisentient threads is still very difficult since these foundationeers

are

equivalent to rex mundi. But if I can gain their support, I’ll have more leverage against the Three Exalted Houses!

That would be his backing. There weren’t just ordinary saints, but also people from ancient, sacred, and august houses.

The influence of those houses in Myriadpath Valley was firmly entrenched and their combined strength couldn't be underestimated by the Three Exalted Houses. The Three Exalted Houses relied on them to truly control the Million Mundi and absorb cultivation resources from them; otherwise, just the Three Exalted Houses wouldn't have so much manpower.

If I succeed, those who hate me will hate me more, but those who love me will love me even more! So let me bet that more people will love and support me!

Tianming hadn’t done anything detrimental to Myriadpath Valley. Thus, in this situation, his status and position would improve and people like Eminent Jiguang would have more reasons to protect him.

If he worked hard enough, Eminent Jiguang could stand tall.

Tianming hesitated no more. He knew that Eminent Ranxing above him was still unaware that he had already become a background figure.
