Chapter 3481 - Impossible

"Who can possibly twist something like the astralscape of order itself? It's so huge!" Tianming exclaimed.

"It’s just the universe that's visible to you. The universe takes on different shapes and forms for different beings. Each one has a completely different vantage point. Do not let the eyes of flesh of a lowly existence limit your senses," said the ship.

Tianming nodded and shot it a thumbs-up. "Alright, very amazing."

While he still didn't really get the principle, all he needed to know was that the Blissful Union would be able to save him quite a bit of time if he wanted to travel to Myriadpath Valley. An even more exciting thing he could do was to use it to transfer yin-yang essence to nourish the Sun!

"Friend, are you still around? Can you answer a question of mine?" Tianming asked with anticipation.

"I am the ship's system and can thus only answer predetermined questions that have answers in my databank. I will naturally answer anything I know."

Despite what the ship said, it still sounded completely organic to Tianming. He was getting more and more impressed by the Yin-Yang World's technology.

A month passed since the two women entered the Myriadpath Celestial Formation. Over the past ten years, not many people had lingered around the formation. House Suishen made sure to clear out other people in that region, while Houses Qitian and Yumo kept a close watch. Interestingly, the two houses didn't interfere, despite House Suishen's messy blockade. The Myriadpath Celestial Formation had been left relatively undisturbed for quite some time.

Upon its large formations stood a middle-aged man clad in robes of black and red. He wore a gold crown and appeared rather imposing. His long hair glistened as it flowed about and his gaze seemed distant, stern but not angry. He was none other than Suishen Ranxing, who had been waiting there for a month. A formless killing intent radiated near the top of the Myriadpath Celestial Formation where he was.

Just then, the formation glowed as if something was approaching. The eminent instantly looked in the direction of the light. When he saw the two people that appeared, the fire in his eyes began burning bright. "They've come...."

Arriving were two goddesses, one clad in red and the other in pink. The one on the left had scarlet hair and a tall figure; her eyes gave off the same explosive aura as her flaming red dress. The one on the right wore a white dress to go with her pink hair and seemed even more reserved and elegant than the other. Her skin seemed like moisturized jade, boasting a youthful sheen.

Suishen Ranxing immediately recognized them. His brows furrowed even harder when he saw the woman in red, the one he had wanted to remain missing the most: Suishen Xiyue! She had been his official wife, and he’d loved her and had had children with her. But this was where they had ended up.

Before Suishen Xiyue was able to feel midsky essence filling her body after landing on solid ground, she saw the man whom she had hated for a century. She would make him pay! Her eyebrows rose as scarlet flames burst forth from her eyes and a flaming crimson lotus flower burned brightly between her eyebrows; those were her bane-rings!

Flames rose from her body as she transformed into a goddess of fire, charging at her husband with hate and hostility. They were each other's archnemeses.

Suishen Ranxing didn't disappoint her in the slightest and immediately turned into a beam of starfire, charging toward her. There was no need for words between them; his palm strike was all the communication they needed. There was no need to reminisce over old feelings, nor to beg for forgiveness or understanding. There was only heartlessness.

Fortunately, Suishen Yao and her brother didn't see it with their own eyes, or their entire worldview would shatter and they would hate their father for the rest of their lives. Suishen Ranxing was the one who had acted faster and more heartless of the two. Suishen Xiyue had already had no hope of them reconciling, but seeing her husband reach a conclusion before she internalized it made her as angry as she was amused.

"Suishen Ranxing, you've gone mad!" Suishen Jiguang widened her eyes in horror and disbelief. She had almost lost her life to bring back the children's mother, only for their father to launch an attack the first moment he saw her! Was there still a shred of humanity in him?

Suishen Jiguang wasn't someone who was easily angered, but her eyes were already bloodshot. She had intended to hide her major-zenith prowess, but now that was out of the question.

"Go away!" In an instant, Suishen Jiguang rushed in front of her sister-in-law, mustering all her cosmoforce. Her aurora nymphs turned into a pink astral storm that crashed into Suishen Ranxing, revealing her newfound might!

Even though she had only just reached the major zenith, the constant forging of her body by baleflame over the past decade was nothing to scoff at. In terms of simulacra, she’d already had the most out of House Suishen with eight, but now she had even more!

The pink storm forced Suishen Ranxing back a few steps, completely neutralizing his intent to kill. He looked at Suishen Jiguang in disbelief and roared, "Impossible! This is impossible!"

Just then, an old man appeared before him. The old patriarch had been in hiding moments before. He hadn't intended to interfere with Suishen Ranxing's matters, but seeing the situation forced him to act. With a blank look, he asked, "Jiguang... Have you reached the major zenith?"

He would never forget the days when his daughter had first reached the minor zenith; it hadn't been that long ago. On that day, he had even watched her obtain the third fold of the Twinmoon Suishen Art.

Suishen Jiguang no longer bothered hiding it. When she saw that there wasn't anybody else around but her father and brother, she nodded.

"Impossible...! Nobody can possibly reach the minor and major zeniths within a few short decades!" Suishen Ranxing was the most taken aback by the revelation. He had been a tenth-level foundationeer when he was two thousand years old, then spent a thousand years to reach the minor zenith and another thousand to reach the major zenith, becoming one of the strongest elites in House Suishen and among the top five in Myriadpath Valley!

Suishen Jiguang didn't have more talent than he did, so how could she possibly use less than fifty years to achieve what he had in two thousand painstaking years?! She had only been stuck at the tenth level for five hundred years before breaking through to the minor zenith, and Suishen Ranxing had already been awed by that achievement alone!
