Joining Houtu

Tongtian directly extended both hands, and a ball of light surged on his palms.

At this moment, what was on Tongtian's hands was a projection of the Earthly Path Sublimation.

Houtu's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze piercing through the light. In an instant, Houtu's face was filled with shock.

What in the world is this?

After a slight sensation, Houtu immediately understood.

What Tongtian held in his hands could be said to be the freedom he yearned for.

As long as she learned it, she could break free from the Heavenly Dao and reclaim her freedom!

Even though she was a Saint now, she had been suppressed by the Heavenly Dao to the point where she couldn't go anywhere.

The Heavenly Dao suppressed her, perhaps fearing that the Earthly Path would escape its control.

Because the more the Heavenly Dao controlled, the stronger its power naturally became.

"If you teach me the method you possess, I will promise to lend you a hand!"

Houtu looked at the light in Tongtian's hands and said excitedly.

She had been trapped for so long, and she hadn't tasted freedom for a very, very long time.

At this very moment, she felt freedom beckoning to her.

It was Tongtian who gave her hope to reclaim her freedom!

This wasn't just hope; it was something that could truly be achieved!

Once she mastered this power, the Heavenly Dao would no longer be able to suppress her. At that time, she could go anywhere in the vast Primordial World!

This was freedom!

Houtu was incredibly excited at the thought that freedom was within reach.

Tongtian wasn't surprised at all. In his eyes, Houtu couldn't possibly refuse.

Anyone who had been confined in darkness for so long would be unable to bear it, and Houtu was no exception.

"Very well, this is the key to your freedom. I bestow it upon you now!"

Tongtian waved his arm, and the cultivation method flew directly towards Houtu.

Houtu didn't want to waste a moment and immediately embraced the method with her Primordial Spirit, beginning to cultivate.

Once Houtu learned it and directly performed the Earthly Path Sublimation, raising the Heaven and Earth Karma Position of the Earthly Path, the Heavenly Dao would no longer be able to suppress her!

Swish!

Houtu directly guided the method into her Purple Mansion, and immediately, rays of light appeared.

Seeing that Houtu had already begun cultivating, Tongtian waited patiently.

Before long, Houtu had finished cultivating. As a Saint, her cultivation speed was naturally quite fast.

This method was Tongtian's sincerity towards Houtu.

Tongtian did not fear Houtu going back on her word.

However, if it were Jieyin and Zhunti, Tongtian would not have done this.

Those guys were all shameless scoundrels; one couldn't be honest with them.

Houtu was not that kind of person, and freedom meant too much to her. Therefore, Tongtian was completely at ease.

Before long, Houtu directly opened her eyes, which were filled with excitement.

Freedom!

She could finally regain her freedom!

At this moment, she finally turned her gaze to Tongtian, seeing that he was waiting for her.

"Brother Tongtian, you are also part of the Mystic Gate."

"Don't you know the enmity between me and the Mystic Gate?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will deal with the Mystic Gate in the future?"

Hearing this, Tongtian immediately laughed.

Deal with the Mystic Gate?

He clearly understood what Houtu meant.

In fact, the Intercepting Sect, the Heavenly Origin Sect, and Taishang all belonged to the subsidiaries of the Mystic Gate.

Their leader was Hongjun!

The early Witch-Demon war was definitely manipulated by the Heavenly Dao from behind the scenes.

Tongtian understood Houtu's words very well.

Although Tongtian was a member of the Mystic Gate, the Mystic Gate had long since left him with no feelings for it, only hatred!

"Hehehe, the Mystic Gate?"

Tongtian let out a mocking laugh and said, "I am no longer a member of the Mystic Gate. If you wish to exact revenge, then by all means, make your move. Perhaps, I might even lend you a hand then!"

Upon hearing this, Houtu's mouth fell open.

So, Tongtian also had an unresolved grievance with the Mystic Gate?

Houtu's mind was in a complete mess.

Wasn't Tongtian's Intercepting Sect also part of the Mystic Gate?

He was going to help me?

Seeing Houtu's continued confusion, Tongtian spoke to her again, "You have grievances with the Mystic Gate, and so do I!"

With that, Tongtian left the Underworld without a trace.

Houtu was currently trying to organize her thoughts, her mind feeling a bit chaotic.

She realized she could no longer understand Tongtian. The Tongtian she knew before was not like this.

The current Tongtian seemed cloaked, making him impossible to discern.

"Haha, why think so much about it?"

"Gaining an ally out of nowhere is a great thing!"

Houtu thought excitedly.

Before long, the Underworld fell silent once more.

On the Primordial World's land.

A spatial gate materialized and opened, and Tongtian stepped through.

After teaching the three Saints a lesson last time, they shouldn't be bothering me anytime soon.

Moreover, I've just broken through another realm, so I won't be going into seclusion anymore.

At this moment, Tongtian was moving at high speed, contemplating his alliance with Houtu.

Houtu had brought up a key point: the Mystic Gate.

Tongtian, Taishang, and Yuanshi were all members of the Mystic Gate.

Their master was also Hongjun!

Therefore, the Intercepting Sect, the Human Sect, and the Heavenly Origin Sect, strictly speaking, were all sects under the Mystic Gate.

However, in Tongtian's memory of the Investiture of the Gods Great Tribulation, Hongjun hadn't taken the Intercepting Sect seriously at all, disregarding its life or death!

Not only that, but he had even helped to deal with the Intercepting Sect.

He personally handed over the magical treasures God-Beating Whip and Investiture of the Gods to the Heavenly Origin Sect!

Anyone with eyes could see that he was helping Yuanshi deal with my Intercepting Sect!

It could be said that he didn't care about the affairs of the Mystic Gate at all; he only cared about the Heavenly Dao.

Because of the Great Tribulation, countless lives were lost, leading to immense Heavenly Dao Merit, which in turn stabilized things.

After that Investiture of the Gods concluded, the Primordial World stabilized due to the acquisition of so many Saint positions and Heavenly Dao Merit.

Hongjun was behind this entire series of events.

Tongtian firmly believed that Hongjun was the mastermind!

Was it just because the Intercepting Sect had the most disciples that it had to bear the brunt of the Great Tribulation?

Tongtian laughed!

In Tongtian's view, this Great Tribulation was clearly caused by those foolish bastards from the Heavenly Origin Sect.

Yet, Hongjun not only failed to blame the Heavenly Origin Sect but instead helped them deal with the Intercepting Sect!

The moment he thought of this, Tongtian's heart erupted with rage like a volcano!

Since Hongjun no longer considered the Intercepting Sect a sect of the Mystic Gate, why should he shamelessly claim to still be a member of the Mystic Gate?

Therefore, Tongtian had directly told Houtu that he also had grievances with the Mystic Gate.

At this moment, as Tongtian was lost in thought, he also noticed a fight unfolding ahead
