Chapter 3471 - Four Dao Paths

The monochrome giant sat cross-legged, hands clasped together. He no longer moved, as if he had entered a state of slumber. Seeing that, Tianming quickly closed the massive hole in the Blissful Union. In doing so, he not only trapped thousands of tufts of baleflame inside the astralship, but also sealed the storm that had been raging outside.

Everything became silent. The crack that House Yumo had created ten years ago also seemed to have automatically repaired itself. Outside, the stormy season raged on. But inside the Blissful Union it was calm and peaceful.

Tianming blankly stared at the monochrome giant before him.

"Stopped moving? Can I still use the planet-class order that went into him?" He speculated that it must have been the order of the monochrome giant. "Although he’s stopped moving, baleflame started burning on his body again. Baleflame doesn't easily dissipate. Could the Blissful Union act as a storage device for it?" Though baleflame was indeed foul compared to springwater, who would reject such a precious treasure?

When he saw yet another tuft of baleflame drift off from the giant, his excitement grew.

Does this mean I not only obtained the treasures of the Four Dao Paths, but also something equivalent to the entire Myriadpath Sourcespring? And possibly a planet-class order that Myriadpath Valley doesn't have?

The planet-class order hadn't been confirmed yet, but the monochrome giant continued producing baleflame without end.

If it weren't for the uncertainties surrounding this giant, this would have been a perfect harvest!

Baleflame, an astralship, and possibly a planet-class order! Plus, the inheritance of the Four Dao Paths: caeli, cultivation techniques and battle arts, cosmic artifacts, and manna.... Everything was there.

It was what the valley lord had dreamed of, and now it all belonged to Tianming alone.

If this person’s the ancestor of the Yin-Yang World, I might be considered half his descendant. He should treat me well.

The fact that Tianming hadn’t been killed at the beginning, but had even been given the opportunity to experience intimacy made him guess that, whether the giant was dead or alive, he likely wouldn't harm him anymore.

"Ancestor above! Disciple Tianming receives your blessings and promises to pass down the inheritance of the Yin-Yang World, spreading its name across the astralscape! If the ancestor wishes to traverse the stars in the Blissful Union, disciple will gladly pilot the astralship and carry the ancestor across the Million Mundi!" Tianming carefully said to the monochrome giant.

The giant seemed to have heard him, as baleflame on his body burned even more fiercely.

"Great!" Tianming could only say that, if the giant was a corpse, he must have been unimaginably terrifying in life.

"With that said, the first step is to absorb the yin-yang essence and fully activate the Blissful Union!" With that in mind, Tianming took a deep breath and turned to Suishen Jiguang, saying, "This place will soon fill with yin-yang essence, we should move back a bit."

"Okay." Suishen Jiguang didn't seem to show any jealousy, watching him control such a precious treasure. Her major zenith strength made her far stronger than Tianming, but she didn’t make a move to seize the treasure. That showed something important.

Does that mean she's accepted me?

Tianming thought to himself as he, Suishen Jiguang, and Suishen Xiyue retreated to a quieter spot.

He glanced at her side profile. Her gaze was calm and her expression was peaceful, as if she’d moved on from the events that had transpired earlier.

"Once the ship is filled up with yin-yang essence, power it up and get us out of here," she said, sounding somewhat urgent.

"Are you worried the giant might suddenly wake up?" Tianming lowered his head, a slight smirk playing at his lips.

"Stop talking!" She bit her lip and glared at him.

"Alright." Tianming grit his teeth and began activating the Blissful Union. The ground violently shook.

As the astralship absorbed the massive amount of yin-yang essence, it began taming it and guiding it into a calm flow of energy. Tianming soon realized that once the yin-yang essence settled, it was gentler than the midsky essence of Myriadpath Valley. It was also better suited for balancing yin and yang.

"Let's absorb enough to fill it up. With the capacity of the Blissful Union, it could last for thousands of years without needing a refuel." That, of course, assumed it wasn't used in battle.

As the ship continued absorbing the yin-yang essence, Tianming’s control over it improved and its internal workings gradually became clearer to him. He slowly achieved a level of control over it similar to what he had with the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. And the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was merely an infinitum-class astralship!

"The difference between a fortuna- and infinitum-class astralship is like night and day! The transformation’s immense, perhaps due to the use of yin-yang and midsky essences." The more Tianming learned, the more shocked he became. He could better understand now why the valley lord coveted the Blissful Union.

"With yin-yang essence and a propulsion system vastly superior to any infinitum-class astralship, the Blissful Union's speed will be several orders of magnitude faster than the infinitum-class ships." He still needed to test it outside, but he believed that it would be possible to bring the Blissful Union to Myriadpath Valley in a short amount of time.

After a full ten days, his brand-new astralship was fully charged.

The black-and-white sphere gently rotated and emitted light like a nova source world; it had been completely transformed. Inside the sphere, countless sections brilliantly glowed in a dazzling spectacle of metal and jade.

At the very center, within a compressed formation, the yin-yang essence had become so dense it formed a liquid sphere with the monochrome giant right at its core. The giant's body continued emitting baleflame, which spread throughout the astralship.

The smell of burning permeated the entire space. Baleflame threw the mind into chaos, and staying in its presence for too long would make it difficult for anyone to remain calm.

Eminent Jiguang, with her fragrant scent, seemed more captivating by the day. Just one glance at her was enough to stir up all the images Tianming had stored away in his mind over the years. He had seen every possible expression, gesture, and posture of hers during those ten years.

Her entire encyclopedia of emotions like joy, embarrassment, boldness, and immersion were clear as day. So, now, as he prepared to part ways with her, there was a tinge of reluctance in his mind. At least they would soon meet again in new roles!

With that thought in mind, Tianming decisively piloted the Blissful Union out of the Inner Yin and into the slightly calmer Outer Yin, continuing on his journey.
