I, the primordial ancestor, started out as a useless cult and a useless saint.

Chapter 319 Reaching Heaven and Enlightening Oneself, Achieving the Great Dao of Freedom

At this point, the Heavenly Dao slowly waved its hand, and the scene instantly disappeared. The Tongtian Sect Leader, Houtu, and Ye Yang all appeared in the Chaos.

The voice of Heaven slowly appeared:

"Go, Ancestor of Humanity, I have high hopes for you."

The three were stunned by the sudden turn of events.

"Are we done negotiating?"

"Of course! What's wrong? I just feel lonely after all this dating."

Both the Tongtian Sect Leader and Houtu were bewildered. What on earth were they talking about?

Did I tell you the answer? It seems like I did, but it also feels like I didn't.

"Oh well, there's no need to dwell on it too much. Perhaps this is not the way for us at all."

"Perhaps."

After speaking, both the Tongtian Sect Leader and Houtu looked at Ye Yang, their eyes filled with resentment and heartache.

It can be said that, apart from the Ancestor of Humanity, they have all developed their own paths.

Throughout their journey through the primordial world, the three of them worked together to overcome numerous difficulties and received extensive guidance from the Ancestor of Humanity.

However, at this moment, it was discovered that the truly pitiful one was actually the ancestor who had been guiding them all along.

"Ancestor of Humanity, you..."

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Ye Yang looked up and saw that the Tongtian Sect Leader had a gloomy face and was very worried. He also saw that the Ancestral Witch Houtu's hands were constantly moving, which clearly showed that she was anxious.

"Ancestor of Humanity, what should we do? The power of the world is too difficult."

Seeing that Houtu was about to cry, Ye Yang chuckled and said:

"Don't be sad. It's just a little difficult, isn't it? At least it's still a path, isn't it?"

Yes, at least it's a road, better than no road at all.

It may take a very long time, but it's still a path. We cultivators lack everything except time.

"Ancestor of Humanity, what should we do now?"

Houtu was at a loss for what to do. Tongtian Jiaozhu stood aside, and although his expression was not exaggerated, Ye Yang knew what was going on.

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader was the one who was most worried.

"It's alright, it's still early. I'm only at the Great Luo Realm now, and it will take a long time before I can transcend. Let's take it slow."

Hearing this, Houtu breathed a sigh of relief, and the Tongtian Sect Leader beside her said:

"Let's go. Since we've promised, we can't go back on our word. Let's leave the area of ​​Heaven's perception."

Looking at the Ancestor of Humanity, the Tongtian Sect Leader continued:

"Ancestor of Humanity, you and I have been both teacher and friend on our journey, from the beginning of the Lich War to the end of the Investiture of the Gods. Everyone has worked hard, and it is indeed time to relax a bit."

Before they knew it, they had entered the realm beyond the reach of the Heavenly Dao's perception.

All that could be seen was the Tongtian Sect Leader grabbing with one hand, and the vast chaos instantly transformed into a house, complete with tables, chairs, and tea sets.

"Come, come, it's rare to have such a leisurely time. I still have three Enlightenment Tea leaves here. Enjoy them in one sip now."

With a single grab of his hand, the Tongtian Sect Leader tossed three uniquely fragrant tea leaves into the teacup.

"Master, this...this tea is a little different from the previous ones."

The Master of Heaven chuckled and said:

"Of course, these are the top three tea leaves, known as the Three Purities."

hiss--.

Ye Yang was shocked.

"Master, you..."

"It's alright. Since you consider me a friend and a brother, let's not talk about anything else. Let's just enjoy some tea. It's been a long time since I've had such a peaceful moment. Don't ask any questions, just relax."

As they spoke, a unique fragrance wafted over, a gentle sniff that was refreshing and delightful.

This is the final trump card that the Tongtian Sect Leader has revealed.

He already understood that this was Tongtian Jiaozhu's farewell, after all, Tongtian Jiaozhu had taken a completely different path, wandering through chaos to become an unparalleled and carefree hermit.

He also understood that the Tongtian Sect Leader was helping him, but he didn't say it out of politeness.

"That's right, that's right, and my soothing tea is indispensable too."

The ancestral witch Houtu also took out three tea leaves from the underworld's cycle of reincarnation.

"Ancestor of Humanity, this is your past, present, and future life. It can soothe your soul and calm your spirit. Try it."

With a wave of her hand, a teapot appeared, and Houtu lightly tossed it in. Instantly, a fragrant aroma wafted out, giving one a sweet and peaceful feeling of sleep.

"Houtu, you..."

Ye Yang's eyes welled up with tears. Hou Tu shook her head and smiled slightly, but tears still streamed down her face.

How could Houtu not understand the meaning of the Tongtian Sect Leader? This tea drinking session might be a farewell, not because she felt that the Ancestor of Humanity was unworthy of them.

They just understood that they each had their own path to walk.

Perhaps we will meet again in the vast chaos, but in the vast chaos, we are but a speck of dust. Where will we meet then?

Or perhaps from this moment on, it will be goodbye forever.

"Hehe, okay, okay."

Ye Yang sighed and reached out to grab it.

"Very well, since you two have taken such good things, how could I be stingy? I'll just make you some tea with water added."

"Hahaha, very good, very good."

The Tongtian Cult Leader laughed heartily, and bursts of sword light slowly emerged.

"Ancestor, brewing tea will take some time. How about we spar a bit, and perhaps you could offer some pointers on my swordsmanship?"

As they spoke, the Tongtian Sect Leader's cultivation had already reached the Great Luo realm.

"Hahaha, good, it just so happens that I've spent the first half of my life busy with the affairs of the human race, and haven't had a proper chance to spar with the sect leader."

With a single grab, a long sword appeared out of thin air.

"Let's face each other with swordsmanship today."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of sword light appeared.

"Hahaha, Ancestor of Humanity, you've come at the right time."

The Tongtian Sect Leader instantly transformed into a terrifying greatsword and rushed straight towards Ye Yang, unleashing his full power at that moment.

The Ancestral Witch Houtu nodded in shock upon seeing this scene, never expecting that the Tongtian Sect Master's swordsmanship was so terrifying.

The Great Luo realm is actually no weaker than that of a Quasi-Saint.

What shocked Houtu even more was that Ye Yang's swordsmanship was also on par with hers, and she fought the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was unleashing his full power, to a standstill.

"Sword Control Technique—"

All that could be seen was an endless sword array erupting around Ye Yang, instantly blocking the Tongtian Sect Leader's retreat.

"Ancestor of Humanity, you're playing dirty tricks. You're not allowed to use the Nine Secrets of Humanity."

"Hahaha, I didn't! Take this!"

Holy crap.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was frustrated and had no choice but to fight seriously, resulting in a very enjoyable back-and-forth battle.

In the end, neither of them could break the other's lead.

"Ancestor of Humanity, what kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Tongtian was shocked. His swordsmanship was not bad, so why couldn't he break Ye Yang's?

"Hehe, Master, I'm just doing whatever I want."

"Do whatever you want?"

Suddenly, the Tongtian Sect Leader thought of something.

Ye Yang chuckled and said:

"Heaven and earth are vast, but I am the greatest. I have no desires or wants, I do as I please, I transcend the three realms, I am not bound by the five elements, I am carefree and at ease."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt as if a tidal wave had surged within him, and he muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide.

"I understand, the supreme and liberating path, hahahaha, I've realized it, I've realized it, hahahahaha."

Rumble

Instantly, the Tongtian Sect Leader became enraged, and then began practicing swordsmanship and comprehending the Dao alone in this vast chaos.

"The Great Way of Freedom, unrestrained and unfettered, doing whatever one pleases. What bullshit laws and rules? Get out of my way! What do I want? Unrestrained and carefree, hahahaha!"

Old man—.

In an instant, the aura surrounding the Tongtian Sect Leader exploded.
