Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Traded My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start

He shook his head at Dijiang and said,

"Daoist, there's no need!"

"I've already received my reward!"

Dijiang was a little surprised.

He hadn't expected Hong Yun to refuse!

"How can that be?"

Hong Yun shook his head firmly.

Dijiang looked puzzled. Why had Hong Yun refused so decisively?

He asked in confusion,

"You haven't even heard what treasures my brothers and I prepared!"

"And you're refusing just like that?"

Hong Yun gave a bitter smile.

"Daoist Dijiang, please don't tell me!"

"If you do, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist and will break my word!"

Hearing Hong Yun speak so frankly, the Ancestral Shamans burst into laughter.

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin exchanged a glance and secretly communicated through voice transmission.

"Looks like Daoist Hong Yun really has his eye on our sister!"

"He can even refuse a treasure like the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler. That shows how firm his resolve is!"

Dijiang's voice brimmed with emotion.

When Pan Gu opened heaven and earth, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler had separated the pure and turbid energies of heaven and earth, earning Heaven-Opening Merit and the profound yellow energy.

It could also be called the Primordial Profound Yellow Measuring Ruler!

It was a top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, second only to the Three Great Treasures of Creation.

As the saying went, the measure was in one's heart. After the world was opened, the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler had fallen into Pangu Hall.

And since Pangu Hall had been formed from Pangu's Heart,

it was where his blood essence resided, and it belonged to the Ancestral Shamans collectively.

So the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler had fallen into the Ancestral Shamans' hands!

It was just that the Ancestral Shamans weren't good at using Innate Spiritual Treasures, and none of them cultivated the laws associated with it.

So it had simply been left unused.

It wasn't until now, when Hong Yun had given up his seat, that Dijiang remembered to give the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler to Hong Yun.

That would settle the debt between them!

Thankfully, Hong Yun hadn't heard that. Otherwise, there was no telling whether he might have swallowed his pride and accepted it!

This was the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, after all!

Zhu Jiuyin also sighed.

"Daoist Hong Yun really is kind-hearted and virtuous!"

"He's also straightforward. He says exactly what he's thinking, unlike those other cultivators!"

"Always beating around the bush and hiding what they mean! It's infuriating!"

After pondering for a moment, he continued to communicate with Dijiang through voice transmission.

"Since Daoist Hong Yun has taken a liking to our two sisters, and we like him too,"

"we should grant his wish!"

Dijiang's eyes lit up, and he smiled at Zhu Jiuyin.

"Exactly!"

"If they become Dao Companions, he'll be family. Then there'll be no need to talk about debts or settling them!"

"It's only right for family to use this ruler!"

"Who else besides him could wield the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler?"

The two exchanged a smile, their eyes full of wisdom.

Feeling that he had the situation under control, Dijiang stopped talking about settling the debt.

Hong Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he'd been afraid Dijiang might offer something he couldn't refuse.

He really wouldn't have known what to do then!

By refusing from the start, he didn't have to struggle with all that inner conflict and torment.

The group chatted and laughed, and time slipped by in a flash.

They passed through a layer of the chaotic membrane.

Everyone returned to the Primordial Wilderness!

The moment Hong Yun returned to the Primordial Wilderness, he felt his magical power grow lively and responsive again.

The Power of Law became more active, too!

"Whew!"

Hong Yun narrowed his eyes and let out a soft breath.

They continued downward, passing through the Nine Heavens' astral winds and layer upon layer of spatial barriers.

At last, they saw Bu Zhou Mountain, the pillar supporting heaven and earth!

It stood straight between heaven and earth like a towering pillar, surrounded by the Kunlun Mountains.

Hong Yun gazed at Bu Zhou Mountain in amazement.

This wasn't his first time seeing the mountain, but every time he did, he couldn't help but marvel at it.

Pan Gu had died after opening heaven and earth, yet his unyielding backbone still held up the sky for all the beings of the Primordial Wilderness.

The Ancestral Shamans also gazed at it in silence.

"Witches stand between heaven and earth!"

"We must never forget Father God Pan Gu's will. We'll fight heaven and earth!"

"We'll never submit to anyone!"

Hearing Dijiang's muttered words, Hong Yun couldn't help turning to look at him.

Dijiang's face was resolute, his eyes now brilliant as stars. A fervent fighting spirit rose from within him!

The other Ancestral Shamans were stirred to reveal their own auras.

Even Hou Tu, who was usually gentle in front of Hong Yun, wore a stern expression.

A weighty pressure swept over them!

A moment later, Dijiang suddenly withdrew his aura and turned to Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi with a hearty smile.

"Fellow Daoists, when I saw Bu Zhou Mountain, the legacy Father God left behind, I couldn't help myself."

"I hope I didn't disturb you!"

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi didn't mind at all. They were both at the Great Luo realm.

The Twelve Ancestral Shamans hadn't directed their auras at them.

So how could the two of them be cowed by that pressure?

Hou Tu's gentle expression returned. She looked at Hong Yun with a smile and said,

"Didn't you say you wanted to discuss the Dao with us?"

"Why not come back with us?"

The Ancestral Shamans had set Pangu Hall down on the Primordial Continent, not far from Kunlun Mountain.

There were already members of the clan there, but not many.

They were simply the clan members born in Pangu Hall, gathered together.

They were called the Witch Clan!

Hong Yun had been hoping to spend more time winning over his wife, so this was just what he wanted.

He turned to look at Zhen Yuan Zi.

Zhen Yuan Zi blinked and sent him a voice transmission.

"Do you think I'd disagree and ruin your good thing, old brother?"

Hong Yun rolled his eyes at him, speechless, then smiled at Hou Tu and said,
