Chapter 3519 - Dominate Myriadpath Valley

There was a heroic welcome at Suishen Cave, where almost everyone in House Suishen had gathered at the entrance. They excitedly looked out, standing shoulder to shoulder. They were all in a magnificent mood. It was a glorious festival that anyone of any age could enjoy.

House Suishen had emerged victorious from the chaos in Myriadpath Valley with two new major-zenith foundationeers, rising to the peak of power. They also had a monstrously talented youth like Tianming among them! Who wouldn't celebrate?

"Congratulations, Eminents!"

"Our heroes have returned!"

"Eminent Jiguang, Eminent Xiyue, you two women made us proud! You have my respect!" Many women in House Suishen saw them as role models, deeply admiring them.

Even though House Suishen was filled with beautiful and handsome people, Suishen Jiguang and Suishen Xiyue stood out among them. Most beauties resembled the tall, mature archetype they represented; dainty fairies like Suishen Yao were actually much rarer.

The two eminents took center stage, drawing all attention to them. People completely forgot about Suishen Ranxing. The only other person who commanded some of that respect was the old patriarch. Most of the words of praise were addressed to Suishen Jiguang and Suishen Xiyue, and they were relieved that that was the case.

The celebration continued even after entering Suishen Cave. Their loud cheers completely drove out the sad and depressing mood that had filled Suishen Cave for the past ten years.

"From now on, House Suishen calls the shots in Myriadpath Valley!"

"Everyone, let's not let it go to our heads! Even though House Qitian suffered a heavy loss, the valley lord is still alive! The transfer of power hasn't happened yet, so it still isn’t over!"

"It's fine! Everyone knows that we'll only grow stronger from here. One day, Eminent Jiguang will reach the super zenith and become the true valley lord!"

The manifestation of her tenfold simulacrum had earned her strength universal recognition. Suishen Ranxing, their actual leader, had been completely sidelined.

"House Qitian got too arrogant and ended up where they are today. We of House Suishen have always adopted a low profile. We can’t repeat House Qitian's mistakes!"

"That's right! We achieved a great victory today, but now we have to focus on growth!"

"Everything depends on Eminent Jiguang and her monster of a nephew-in-law!"

"Speaking of, where's Pathkeeper Li? His contributions today are even more impressive than what happened at the Progenitor's Altar!"

Who would have believed that killing a single person could achieve more fame than killing the tensource beast?

"Pathkeeper Li stayed low for decades, only to stun everyone when they’d forgotten him!"

Everyone tried looking for Tianming during the return procession, Suishen Jiguang included.

"Pathkeeper Li’s here!"

A group of people moved aside to open a path that led to Tianming, Suishen Yao, and other juniors from Suishen Ranxing's line, heavily surrounded by eminents. They had already been caught off guard once, so they wouldn't repeat that mistake again. Even after they took care of Eminent Jinxuan and the rest, Suishen Ling had still been worried for her children's safety and stayed close to them until the other elites returned.

Suishen Jiguang waded through the crowd and her gaze immediately met Tianming's. He seemed completely harmless, his smile glowing bright under the warm sunlight. How could anyone think of him as a monster that everyone in Houses Qitian and Yumo feared after seeing him like that? Suishen Jiguang finally felt relief at seeing him unharmed.

"Mom! Auntie!" Suishen Yao leaped toward them after enduring it for so long. She had never felt so happy before.

Even though Suishen Xiyue had dealt with the situation, danger still persisted. Seeing her daughter safe and sound, she was so moved that she couldn't help but thank her lucky stars.

"Tianming." Both women turned to look at the white-haired youth and exchanged glances. They seemed to find the same resolve.

"My dear son-in-law, why didn't you tell me you had skills like those?" Suishen Xiyue said, shooting him an odd look.

"Next time, I won't hide anything," Tianming said with a wry smile.

"There's going to be a next time?" Suishen Xiyue really wanted to give his face a long pinch. Then she went to talk to her daughter, leaving Tianming and Suishen Jiguang behind.

"When I heard that you reached the third level, I already knew that you could more or less fight at that level," she said with a warm smile.

"Yeah. Thankfully, you dominated Myriadpath Valley today so I no longer need to hide," Tianming said.

"Yeah! Dominate me harder!" Ying Huo said.

"Shut up, you!" Tianming immediately went into damage-control mode. The little chick could now go around Myriadpath Valley freely without worrying about revealing its star count, and that was the first thing it had chosen to say.

Suishen Jiguang, however, didn't get mad and broke into a chuckle. "Your little bird is so cute."

"It sure is...."

Suishen Jiguang took a good look at Tianming and said, "Your status completely changed after your performance, you know that?"

"I got it!" Tianming nodded. He had Yin Chen listening out for the word on the street, so he was even more aware than she was.

At that point, Suishen Xiyue came back and looked close at Tianming. "You really gave the three houses a huge scare. Everyone out there’s calling you a terrifying monster that's even more dangerous than the legacies of the Yin-Yang World. Putting aside the Yumos and Qitians, even some Suishens are wary of you. You managed to gain merit today, but you should be even more careful from now on."

"Is it that ridiculous? Even the people in House Suishen aren't happy to see me, eh? Who would they be?" Tianming smirked.

"Who they are isn't important," Suishen Xiyue said, looking just as worried as Suishen Jiguang. They had concerns, but they didn't dare to mention who they would be.

"Either way, as long as those people aren’t you two, I'm perfectly fine with it. Other people don't matter," Tianming said.
