"Sent off" was putting it politely. In truth, Xi Yue had beaten him away, and he had nearly died at Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, unable to return. Fortunately, Tianhong Zi was no fool. He had not entered the gate upon arriving as an envoy; had he truly entered, he would have been doomed.
Tianhong Zi had come to confer the title of "Heavenly King," the position reserved for He Dao. It was quite lofty.
And he had promised that if He Dao broke through to Supreme Clarity, he would be granted the rank of Dao Ancestor, second only to the Heavenly Emperor.
But Tianhong Zi had not even seen He Dao's face...
Because He Dao was in seclusion, and he truly was about to break through to Supreme Clarity—or rather, he was already in the midst of the breakthrough. So long as nothing went wrong, he would succeed.
