Chapter 3039 - Older Than My Grandmother
Chapter 3039 – Older Than My Grandmother
Typically, myriadpath saints did indeed have the qualification to take in disciples. However, in reality, they could only accept those lucky mundi geniuses who barely made it in. But those with better talents all wanted stronger mentors. And the offspring born to parents in Myriadpath Valley, as long as they had good talent, would have already found a master. At worst, their parents would guide them themselves.
“So in Myriadpath Valley, fortuna disciples, maniverse disciples, and myriadpath saints don’t have much difference in status. Some maniverse disciples, if they cultivate to the Foundation stage ahead of time, still retain the identity of maniverse disciples. In fact, they may even be stronger than myriadpath saints.
“However, once one becomes a reverend or eminent, their status truly skyrockets! Even if they’re just a reverend, they’re still an invincible existence in the Million Mundi! Ruling over tens of thousands of mundi is no problem for a single person,” Li Fan had said.
Both Huang Daolie and Lan Yun were such people. The difference between them lay in the fact that Lan Yun was alone. Although she had a gold myriadpath ring and her parents were cultivators of Myriadpath Valley, she had no partner or offspring. In contrast, Huang Daolie was the patriarch of an ancient family with tens of millions of strong individuals. With so many people, his power and authority within Myriadpath Valley were actually much greater than Lan Yun’s.
Of course, the difference in their combat power may not necessarily be such.
“Li Fan, do you know how old Lan Yun is?” Tianming asked.
“Let me calculate… probably over five thousand seven hundred!” Li Fan said.
“Damn!” Tianming looked at the frosty beauty. From the outside, she looked more like his elder sister in age. “She’s even older than my grandmother!” he secretly commented.
“I see you’re even more interested. Aren’t you specifically into older ones? With infinite age?” Ying Huo sneered.
“Get lost!” Tianming argued with Ying Huo while calculating in his mind. He felt more relaxed.
“Demoness Yin said that the Sky Starvore Fiendart is performed once every three thousand years. With Lan Yun looking so young, she clearly underwent it when she was three thousand years old. Now at five thousand seven hundred years old, it means that when she reaches six thousand, she’ll use it a second time! There’s still three hundred years left!”
Three hundred years! Tianming hadn’t even lived for a century yet and couldn’t comprehend what three hundred years meant, so he suddenly felt less anxious.
Instead, he inwardly sneered, narrowing his eyes. “The better I perform in these three hundred years, the less likely she’ll harm me, and the more likely she’ll protect me! She knows I have lifebound beasts on me, yet she still wants to keep me around, indicating that she understands the Sky Starvore Fiendart even better.” Although his backing had ill intentions, Tianming felt that, at least during the next three hundred years, his backing would remain quite stable!
” As farfetched as it may sound, in three hundred years I might become her backing!” He instantly saw through the situation in Myriadpath Valley. “Li Fan, how many disciples does she have?” Tianming asked.
“Currently, she has eight, all carefully selected top talents. They’re basically from various major mundi, and each of them was ranked first among the black myriadpath rings during their Skyward Ranking,” Li Fan said. He was once Lan Yun’s disciple himself, but she didn’t value him and instead handed him over to her junior, Taihe.
“They’re all male, right?” Tianming asked.
“How’d you know?” Li Fan asked.
“Heh.” Tianming could naturally guess what the purpose of taking in disciples was for her. To the outside world, they were disciples, but for her, they were all candidates to become her astralkiln.
In these three hundred years, to make her fiercely protect me, I must prove myself much better than her other disciples, making her feel that the other disciples are dull in comparison. He had taken three masters. Lan Yun had ill intentions from the very beginning, so he couldn’t treat her the same way he treated Ye Shaoqing and Lin Xiaodao.
Their relationship could only be based on mutual benefits!
“Myriadpath rings are the basis for using the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, right?” Tianming asked.
“Yes. It’s activated by the myriadpath ring. The method’s very simple. I’ll accompany you back to Ebonia next time, and you can personally use it once to understand,” Li Fan said.
“Previously, you said that in the capital of Antiquitas Mortis, there’s also a stareye relay. Can I directly reach Antiquitas Mortis from here?” Tianming asked.
“Yes. If you use coordinates and an interdimensional line, there will be cultivation level restrictions when passing through the white sea of clouds. If you’re too strong, you won’t be able to enter. But through the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, regardless of your level, you can directly arrive and you won’t be bound by the interdimensional line. Just think of the Xenoabyss as a powerful mundus,” Li Fan said.
“Good!”
In other words, if Tianming wanted to continue advancing in Antiquitas Mortis and find Zi Zhen, he would still have needed to become a disciple of Myriadpath Valley and possess a myriadpath ring. “So even without Shenxi Xingtian’s red dust, my next step would still have been Myriadpath Valley….”
Myriadpath Valley was the core of the Million Mundi. With his identity, he could freely roam across the Million Mundi, plundering, showing off, and seeking beauties! That was also the reason why the geniuses of the Million Mundi, even at the risk of death, wanted to obtain a myriadpath ring—even if it was just a black one!
With a myriadpath ring, the pleasures of life would increase. There were a million mundi; how many treasures and stunning beauties were contained in a territory that vast? As long as one revealed their Myriadpath Valley identity, rex mundi would welcome them and beauties would embrace them!
Don’t underestimate Li Fan’s low status in Myriadpath Valley. In any mundus he went to, he could immediately become the highest ruler and live a luxurious life! That was also the reason why he wanted to live on. Life was too good and it would be a huge loss to die. Thus, he was very anxious to become a foundationeer before he reached two thousand years old, or else he wouldn’t be able to enjoy the status and benefits of Myriadpath Valley anymore.
Tianming looked at the black myriadpath ring on his hand, feeling deeply emotional. “In the Million Mundi, even a black myriadpath ring can be so impressive. If the golden myriadpath ring symbolizing a so-called ‘pure bloodline’ were to be revealed, wouldn’t their seed be in great demand throughout the Million Mundi?”
No wonder even geniuses like Ji Qianqian, when they encountered Huang Jihuang, immediately surrendered. Anyone would surrender.
“Now I have a ring, a master, and my life.” But his future in Myriadpath Valley was fraught with dangers; it would be like walking on a tightrope—one wrong step and there would be no turning back. However, after overcoming the difficult first trial and truly becoming familiar with Myriadpath Valley, Tianming already had a clear understanding of his future path.
“First find my footing, slowly find a way to the Myriadpath Sourcespring, then go to the Antiquitas Mortis to find Zi Zhen and Sixth….” He had encountered it again last time. He really wanted to catch that beast to remedy his weakness of the soul. Otherwise, his weakness would only grow more and more deadly.
However, the conflict and differences in worldview between him and Sixth were too great.
Tianming continued following Lan Yun, treading through endless immortal mists formed by midsky essence and seeing many powerful individuals of Myriadpath Valley. Although he talked with Li Fan the entire time, he remained silent and kept his head down all the way.
Lan Yun didn’t like talkative people. On their journey, she was naturally also observing him.
Soon, they arrived at her territory, the Grandblue Palace.
