Chapter 3241 - Is That Your King of Lifebound Beasts?
Chapter 3241 - Is That Your King of Lifebound Beasts?
After Tianming discarded his identity as a tainted beastmaster, more and more people looked at Suishen Yue with different eyes. Everyone liked gossip.
But it was a huge offense to Suishen Yue and it was impossible for him not to be angry. While he knew that he would never love the girl, whether she loved him or not was irrelevant. What he wanted was that drop of blood, her talent, her foundation, and everything else! Of course, he also wanted House Suishen, Myriadpath Valley, and... the entire universe!

Tianming and Suishen Yao stood opposite each other. Suishen Yao reached out and pinched his face. She glared and said, "You're so annoying. From now on, if you have any troubles, tell me. No hiding it!"
"Got it, Little Master," Tianming said with a wry smile. It seemed she was quite concerned about his identity as a tainted beastmaster.
"Let me look at your arms and legs!" Suishen Yao rolled up his sleeves and pants in front of everyone. After a long examination, she finally confirmed that Tianming was indeed a human.
She's still the same as before. But she won’t go too far with so many people around this time. Tianming thought.
Just as he was thinking that, Suishen Yao fiercely glared at him and spread her hands, saying, "What about that?"
For a moment, the whole place cheered. Everyone had ambiguous and strange expressions.
"Is she going to check everything?"
"Tsk tsk."
"It obviously isn’t the first time. Young people these days are so open, their passion is like throwing dry wood into fire."
Tianming's face turned red hearing the discussions. He couldn't understand why Suishen Yao had to check everything. "Isn't it inappropriate?" he said.
"What do you mean? I'm talking about looking at the chicken that fought just now!" Suishen Yao realized everyone had misunderstood and, despite her thick skin, even she couldn't help blushing.
"Oh!" Tianming immediately took out Ying Huo and put it in her hand. The little yellow chick felt a bit panicked when it saw the Great Demon King. Suishen Yao grabbed it and squeezed it for a long time, treating Ying Huo like a toy. When she felt bored, she threw Ying Huo back to Tianming, pouting, "What kind of lifebound beast is this? So ugly! Give me the furry one."
Ying Huo hadn't even had a chance to style its feathers when it heard that and was immediately infuriated. It glared at Suishen Yao and angrily said, "Slander! I'll sue you for slander! How can you say that a handsome and elegant chicken like me is ugly?"
"Because you are ugly," Suishen Yao disdainfully said.
"Your Tianming is ugly!" Ying Huo put its wings on its hips and started arguing with her.
Tianming was profusely sweating. Those two were a bad match and he quickly put Ying Huo back into his lifebound space. He took out Meow Meow, thinking she might like it. But after playing with it for a bit, she still said, "So ugly!"
Meow Meow was also upset, having always been a favorite among girls.
"That turtle’s more impressive! Although I only caught a glimpse, I think it's the king of your lifebound beasts, right?" Suishen Yao curiously asked.
"It’s a dragon," Tianming hesitatingly replied.
"Not a two-headed dragon-turtle?" Suishen Yao was shocked.
Her shocked expression left Tianming speechless.
"Sis, aren't you in a hurry? I'll take Tianming to the Myriadpath Sourcespring now," Suishen Zhao said.
"Okay, go early and come back early." Suishen Yao waved her hand, letting them go.
After they left, she returned to Suishen Cave with Eminent Jiguang.
"What do you think?" Eminent Jiguang had an ambiguous smile.
"About?"
"Your good disciple!"
"Too young. Even if he isn’t a tainted beastmaster, I don't feel anything. He’s just a kid," Suishen Yao disdainfully said.
"You're just being stubborn!" Eminent Jiguang laughed, then continued, "Is there a possibility that, in terms of maturity, you are the child in Li Tianming's eyes?"

After leaving the Ascension Colosseum, Tianming, Suishen Zhao, and Fen Nu headed into the deepest part of Myriadpath Valley. That was where the Myriadpath Sourcespring flowed out, the most critical place of Myriadpath Valley.
It wasn’t far from the Suishen Cave. In fact, Suishen Cave, Yumo Cave, and Qitian Cave formed an equilateral triangle with the Myriadpath Sourcespring at the center. The Prehistoric Path, if it hadn’t been closed in advance, would also lead directly there.
Fortuna and maniverse disciples had to come there to exchange for Myriadpath Sourcespring. Before Tianming got close, he saw a large number of protective formations ahead. They were top-level formations with nine layers in total, each guarded by eminents. Moreover, the eminents all came from the Three Exalted Houses. The first layer was guarded by eminents from House Suishen, the second by those of House Yumo, and the third by House Qitian. The pattern repeated, with the ninth layer guarded by House Qitian's eminents. However, the eminents there were stronger than those in the third layer.
"To pass through these nine layers of formations, you must wear a myriadpath ring with a recorded value of Myriadpath Sourcespring. Otherwise, you can't pass. Secondly, your identity must be personally confirmed by the eminents at each layer," Suishen Zhao explained to Tianming as they walked.
"It really shows how important the Myriadpath Sourcespring is," Tianming said in amazement.
"Of course, it's the foundation of Myriadpath Valley's long-standing heritage! Without the Myriadpath Sourcespring, how could there be the Three Exalted Houses? How could there be a holy land of the martial path beyond the mundi?" Suishen Zhao said with some pride.
The Myriadpath Sourcespring could change a person's constitution and talent, turning losers into geniuses, which was extraordinary. Even if they started as losers, generations of people absorbing springwater would naturally result in exceptional talent. Because of that, Tianming—a mundi genius whose ancestors never absorbed the Myriadpath Sourcespring—rising to his current position on Fortuna Ranking was unbelievable to many.
That was why many still believed that, in terms of cultivation talent in the later stages, he might not compare to the Three Exalted Houses. The heritage contained within their bloodlines was a key belief in Myriadpath Valley.
"We're here to exchange for springwater."
House Suishen's eminents at the first layer were familiar with Suishen Zhao. After a brief check, they let them pass. Even so, they had to use the myriadpath ring to personally touch the protective formation to gain access. The following formations guarded by House Yumo and House Qitian were stricter, but the eminents guarding them could only envy the two little minor pathkeepers who had hit the jackpot and couldn't stop them.
