Tongtian spoke, his voice calm yet carrying a trace of barely restrained excitement: "Good."
"With those words from you, This Master can rest easy."
He paused, then raised his eyes toward Xuandu: "What do you plan to do next?"
Xuandu smiled faintly.
The smile was subtle, yet it carried an understanding that seemed to see through all things. "There is no rush."
He spoke calmly: "The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation has yet to begin."
"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have yet to emerge."
"The Earth Dao Sage has yet to return to his position."
"Human Dao has yet to awaken."
"Everything is on the right track."
"This disciple need only wait."
"Wait for the Earth Dao Sage to return to his position, wait for Human Dao Awakening, wait for the Heaven Earth Human Three Daos Balance."
"By then, even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun comes in person, he will not be able to control the Interception Sect again."
"Even Heavenly Dao's Predetermined Number will no longer be able to scheme against the Human Race."
Tongtian looked at him and remained silent for a long while.
Then he slowly nodded.
"Good."
"This Master will wait for you."
"Wait for you to lead the Interception Sect to that point."
"Wait for you to make the Human Race truly stand at the peak of the Great Wilderness."
"Wait for you to make the Heaven Earth Human Three Daos truly balanced."
"Wait for you to ensure that Heavenly Dao is no longer supreme in this Great Wilderness."
Xuandu bowed slightly.
"This disciple will not disappoint Master's expectations."
He straightened and looked toward Tongtian.
"Master, this disciple has one more matter."
Tongtian's gaze flickered.
"What is it?"
Xuandu said, "This disciple wishes to make a trip to the Underworld."
"To meet Empress Houtu."
