Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Traded the Saint Position for a Wife at the Start - Part 18

"Then we'll have to trouble you, brother!"

After returning to the Primordial Wilderness, the Ancestral Shamans no longer needed to fend off the invasion of Chaos Qi.

Besides, Dijiang was an Ancestral Shaman who controlled the Law of Space.

With the Law of Space in motion, they soon arrived at the Witch Clan's settlement.

The Witch Clan was still small in number, and its members had not yet split into separate groups.

The many Ancestral Shamans gathered together!

As soon as Hong Yun arrived at the Witch Tribe, he couldn't help marveling at the place.

It was nestled against the foothills of the Kunlun Mountains, with a great river ahead and forests and plains to either side.

In Hong Yun's eyes, it was an excellent place, with mountains at its back and water in front.

The most striking sight in the settlement was the enormous Pangu Hall!

It stood halfway up the mountain, its peak rising above the surrounding summits.

Its whole body was bronze-colored, and its material seemed to be neither metal nor jade!

All around Pangu Hall, murals of various Chaos Gods and Demons appeared naturally, along with scenes of Pan Gu battling them.

Space had formed spontaneously inside Pangu Hall, like a tiny world of its own!

The Ancestral Shamans had divided it into various regions.

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi followed the Ancestral Shamans inside. The moment they stepped into Pangu Hall, they entered another world.

To their surprise, many members of the Witch Clan lived there as well.

Seeing the curiosity on Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi's faces, a smile appeared at the corner of Hou Tu's mouth. She explained:

"Pangu Hall is the very root of our Witch Clan. You should know that we came into being in the blood pool inside Pangu Hall."

"We are the true blood descendants of Father God Pan Gu!"

Hong Yun nodded.

Now he understood even more clearly why the Ancestral Shamans were all so proud!

After Pan Gu created the heavens and the earth and perished, his heart became Pangu Hall.

The remnant essence and blood in his heart became a blood pool. That was the source of the Witch Clan.

The power of their inherited bloodline and the Power of Law they controlled both came from this!

The Ancestral Shamans were born at the Great Luo realm!

But every gain came with a loss.

The Ancestral Shamans were blessed by nature, born with control over the laws, yet they cultivated through baleful energy.

After they perished, they would become part of the Primordial Wilderness itself.

Hong Yun wondered if this was not a contingency Great God Pangu had left for the Primordial Wilderness—

a way to cleanse the baleful energy and complete the Primordial Wilderness.

From this, it was clear that the Witch Clan could not possibly be the protagonists of the Primordial Wilderness.

When the Heavenly Dao was complete and no longer needed the Witch Clan, that would mark the beginning of their decline.

It was even possible that the Heavenly Dao would scheme against them to complete itself.

"Alas..."

Hong Yun sighed inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face.

After all, if he told the Ancestral Shamans all this now, they would never believe him, given their temperaments!

The Ancestral Shamans led Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi to a hall that looked like a smaller version of Pangu Hall.

They had only just sat down when Dijiang and the other Ancestral Shamans left with smiles on their faces!

"Fellow Daoists, our two younger sisters will keep you company for now!"

"We've been away for a long time, so we should first go see how our people are doing!"

Hong Yun nodded. It was perfectly reasonable for them to take care of important matters in their clan first, wasn't it?

But why did their expressions seem so strange?

As Hong Yun wondered about it, he saw Zhen Yuan Zi rise too.

"What's with you?"

Zhen Yuan Zi bowed to Hou Tu and Xuanming, then said solemnly:

"I'm very interested in Ancestor Witch Dijiang's Law of Space. I'd like to go talk with him."

With that, he hurried out after them.

By now, how could Hong Yun not know that Zhen Yuan Zi and the Ancestral Shamans were all trying to create an opportunity for him?

It wasn't just him who knew. Hou Tu and Xuanming knew as well.

Both women felt a little embarrassed!

For a moment, none of the three knew what to say, and the atmosphere grew awkward.

Hong Yun glanced at Xuanming out of the corner of his eye and saw her biting her lip.

She remained as still as a mountain!

He couldn't help grumbling inwardly:

"With this third wheel here, I can't use any of the tricks I picked up in my previous life!"

"Can't she see that her brothers are all trying to create an opportunity for me?"

"This is outrageous!"

Helpless, Hong Yun could only open his mouth and earnestly begin discussing the Dao with Hou Tu and Xuanming.

"Fellow Daoists, I was born bearing the Four Symbols' origins of Water, Fire, and Wind, and these are the three laws I cultivate most."

Hou Tu pondered for a moment.

She looked up, her expression faintly worried.

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun, you're blessed by nature, with the power of three origins within you alone, but this..."

Xuanming wasn't as perceptive as her elder sister, and hadn't immediately grasped the crux of the matter.

But hearing Hou Tu say this, she too looked worried.

She turned her head and stared at her elder sister, wanting to hear what she would say.

"Water and fire complement each other, while clouds move with the wind!"

"Though that brings clarity and freedom, it leaves your foundations unstable. You're bound to feel adrift!"

Hong Yun gave a wry smile and nodded.

Hou Tu's words had pinpointed the key to his fate!

"Fellow Daoist, you're absolutely right. That's why I was naturally drawn to Elder Brother Zhen Yuan Zi.

"If I can use Elder Brother Zhen Yuan Zi's spiritual treasure to perfect the Law of Earth, then I can change my fate and achieve completion."

"Unfortunately, although Elder Brother Zhen Yuan Zi has the Earth Book, it follows the Dao of Wu Earth..."

When Hong Yun had comprehended the Earth Book himself, he had gained only a trace of the Law of Earth.

That was barely enough to make it work together with the other three laws!

He had no idea when he would be able to bring them into perfect harmony. It would take years of painstaking tempering.

Xuanming's eyes lit up!

The Law of Earth!

Wasn't her elder sister Hou Tu in control of it?

She immediately looked at Hou Tu with a pleading expression and said:

"Elder Sister, you can help him!"

Seeing Xuanming's expression, Hou Tu seemed to recall something. She smiled sweetly.

With a look that was equal parts reproachful and teasing, she spoke to Xuanming:
