When Have I Ever Deceived You, Fellow Daoist?

Zhou Ming looked at the utterly shocked Tongtian Sect Master and simply smiled calmly.

Those calm words sounded as if they were recounting a trivial matter.

"When have I ever lied to you, fellow Daoist?"

One sentence caused the Tongtian Sect Master's violently fluctuating mind to suddenly freeze.

yes.

He recalled his several encounters with Zhou Ming.

Although he was domineering and cunning, he never broke a promise he made.

The Tongtian Sect Master steadied himself and forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves surging within him.

It wasn't that he didn't trust Zhou Ming.

The contents of this deal are simply too shocking and too mind-blowing!

Depart from the Heavenly Dao? Sever the Saint Position? Rebuild the Primordial Hunyuan?

Any one of these points would be enough to unleash a massive wave across the entire primordial Primordial Wilderness!

And now, Zhou Ming actually says that he can do it all!

After a long while, the Tongtian Sect Master calmed down and looked directly at Zhou Ming.

It's not that I don't trust you, fellow Daoist.

"But this matter is of great importance, and I have momentarily lost my composure."

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, what wondrous method do you possess to help me escape the Heavenly Dao, sever my Saint Position, and return to the Path of Hunyuan?"

This is no small matter; it concerns his future Dao Path, even his life and death. He must get to the bottom of this.

A smile appeared on Zhou Ming's face, as if he had expected him to ask this question.

"Fellow Daoist, wishing to break free from the Heavenly Dao is both difficult and easy in some ways."

"The key lies with you, fellow Daoist."

"As long as you dare to make a solemn oath to the Great Dao and the Father God, declaring that you are willing to relinquish this Heavenly Dao Saint Position."

"At that time, your Primordial Spirit will separate from the Heavenly Dao. You only need to take advantage of this opportunity to sever the Hongmeng Purple Qi within your Primordial Spirit."

"I will personally remove the Heavenly Dao imprint remaining in your Primordial Spirit."

Zhou Ming paused for a moment, looking at Tongtian with a calm demeanor, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

"Therefore, it depends on whether you, fellow Daoist, are willing to give up this indestructible, immortal, and indestructible position of Saint."

"As for retracing the path of Hunyuan, that's even simpler."

"I happen to possess a Cultivation Method that allows you to forge a new path and retrace the Path of Hunyuan."

"However, I can only pass on this Cultivation Method to you after you have completely broken free from the Heavenly Dao and relinquished your Saint Position."

Are you willing to give it up?

The Tongtian Sect Master smiled self-deprecatingly to himself.

If someone had said this to him before the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, he would have thought that person was crazy.

The Saint Position —what an honor that is! It is the ultimate Dao Fruit that countless beings in the Primordial Wilderness world dream of.

But now, having experienced the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, he has long seen through the true nature of this so-called Heavenly Dao Saint.

It's nothing more than a pawn that Heavenly Dao can manipulate at will.

If one cannot even preserve one's own Dao Lineage, nor protect one's own disciples, what use is this immortal and indestructible Saint Position!

For him, such a Saint Position was already the greatest shackle!

"I no longer care about this Saint Position." There was a hint of relief in the voice of the Tongtian Sect Master.

"But..." His tone shifted, and worry returned.

"To break free from the Heavenly Dao is probably not so easy, is it?"

"Heavenly Dao regards Saint as the foundation, controlling the operation of the Primordial Wilderness. How could it allow me to break away so easily?"

"Of course it's not easy."

Zhou Ming readily admitted it.

"The moment you make that vow, Heavenly Dao will surely sense it and will stop at nothing to obstruct it."

The Tongtian Sect Master's heart sank instantly.

Just as I expected.

However, Zhou Ming's next words left him frozen in place.

"But fellow Daoist, do not forget, the will of the Father God still remains!"

"At that time, I will awaken the slumbering Father God's Will and lend you a helping hand."

"I believe that even if Heavenly Dao is unwilling, it wouldn't dare to forcibly detain your Primordial Spirit in the face of the Father God's Will."

The Tongtian Sect Master's expression shifted slightly.

The Father God's Will!

If the Father God's Will truly has his help, then perhaps the Heavenly Dao... truly wouldn't dare to force me to stay!

He saw a glimmer of truly viable hope!

Seeing his ever-changing expression, Zhou Ming continued to add.

"However, while Heavenly Dao may compromise, it certainly won't let you escape so easily."

"Fellow Daoist, you may need to pay a price; we'll see what conditions the Heavenly Dao offers then."

"That's fine!"

The Tongtian Sect Master" practically came out of his mouth.

At that moment, he no longer cared about the consequences!

He was willing to give up all his Spirit Treasure, as long as he could break free from the Heavenly Dao and regain true freedom!

He can bear any price!

A huge weight was finally lifted from his heart.

With the Father God's Will as a backing, there is already a 70-80% chance of breaking away from the Heavenly Dao!

What remains is the Cultivation Method to retrace the path of Hunyuan.

"That Cultivation Method you mentioned, fellow Daoist..."

The Tongtian Sect Master spoke again, with a hint of probing.

"Could you explain to this humble Daoist priest how it can help me retrace the Path of Hunyuan?"

Could you reveal a little something first?

"That way, I'll have some idea in mind."

This wasn't because he didn't trust Zhou Ming.

This matter is far too significant.

He relinquished his Saint Position and severed ties with the past, all for the sake of that legendary Hunyuan Great Dao, the true Great Freedom and Great Ease!

If this final step goes wrong, he will truly be doomed.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming shook his head.

"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, this Cultivation Method is of utmost importance, and I cannot disclose it now."

"If I say it out loud, too many Variables."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Master's heart, which had just settled, began to race again.

His brows furrowed involuntarily.

Can't say?

How could he possibly feel at ease?

After all, this is no small matter; it concerns his future Dao Path.

Wasn't his relinquishment of Saint Position precisely for the sake of the Path of Hunyuan?

What if Zhou Ming was just deceiving him? Wouldn't he have gained nothing and even lost his Saint Position?

Looking at Tongtian's ever-changing expression, Zhou Ming naturally understood the worries in his heart.

"I understand your concerns, fellow Daoist."

Zhou Ming's expression became extremely solemn.

"I, Zhou Ming, hereby swear an oath to the Father God."

"As long as you, fellow Daoist, can successfully sever your Saint Position and break free from the Heavenly Dao, I will definitely help you embark on the Path of Hunyuan once more!"

"If I break this oath, may my Wu Clan never again stand in this Primordial World!"

"Furthermore, I can tell you very clearly, fellow Daoist, if you miss this opportunity..."

"Once the Tribulation ends, you will no longer be able to escape the control of the Heavenly Dao."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Master Leader felt a chill run down his spine once more.

He was puzzled as to why he had no further opportunities after the Tribulation ended.

Why do you say that, fellow Daoist?

He immediately pressed for more details.

A strange smile appeared on Zhou Ming's face.

"Fellow Daoist, are you familiar with the ' Saint-Smiting Pill '?"

The Tongtian Sect Master was taken aback.

Saint-Smiting Pill?

As Heavenly Dao Saint, overlooking the endless ages of the Primordial Wilderness, he believed he knew everything about the rare treasures and forbidden objects in the world.

But he had never heard of the words "Saint-Smiting Pill" before.

Even just looking at the literal meaning, it gave him a strange sense of unease.

Just how terrifying is this elixir, given its name "Fallen Saint"?

He looked at Zhou Ming with a heart full of doubt.

What is the "Saint-Smiting Pill"?
