Tongtian became a Sage, ten thousand immortals came to pay homage! Golden Immortals left the Demon Court in droves?
The merit for attaining Sagehood bestowed by the Human Dao might have taken only a few seconds to descend from the sky.
But that was more than enough time for the Heavenly Dao to strike thousands upon thousands of times!
Until they saw that mass of merit settle completely upon Tongtian,
no one believed he could receive it unhindered!
Only when they saw the merit envelop Tongtian with their own eyes did everyone belatedly realize something was wrong!
Their eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.
Wait, where was the Heavenly Dao!?
Was the Heavenly Dao really not going to intervene!?
Once Tongtian became a Sage, it would be too late for the Heavenly Dao to act!
Above the Demon Court, Di Jun and Taiyi watched the scene below with flushed faces and gritted teeth.
They wished they could strike in the Heavenly Dao's stead!
In the Ancestor Witch Land, the Ancestor Witches seated high upon their thrones looked equally grim.
Meanwhile, throughout the Primordial World's grotto-heavens and blessed lands, the Great Supernatural Beings cultivating in seclusion were all somewhat dumbstruck.
"Why isn't the Heavenly Dao intervening?"
"I have no idea."
"Could the Heavenly Dao really intend to sit by and watch Tongtian attain the Dao?"
"Will the Human Dao gain another Sage today?"
Tongtian stood above the East Sea, his aura surging higher and higher as the merit bestowed by the Human Dao enveloped him!
With the aid of that vast merit, the shackles restraining his cultivation shattered outright.
Terrifying primordial unity great firmament Dao resonance spilled into the world above the East Sea.
Sensing the power within him, as different from his former peak quasi-saint strength as clouds were from mud, Tongtian smiled.
He slowly reined in his aura of the sage Dao and looked toward Beyond
