Primordial Wilderness: I am Hong Yun, Starting with a Saint Position to Exchange for a Wife

After collecting himself, he headed straight for Purple Cloud Palace!

Two young Daoist acolytes, one boy and one girl, stood at the entrance to Purple Cloud Palace, as delicately carved from jade as dolls.

Hong Yun was astonished. He truly found it hard to imagine that the future lord of the Heavenly Court would be this little Daoist acolyte before him—Hao Tian.

He nodded to Hao Tian and the other acolyte, then asked with a smile, "Little Daoist friend, has the sermon at Purple Cloud Palace begun yet?"

Hao Tian was also surprised by the arrival of the two of them!

Hongjun had allotted a period of three thousand years before Purple Cloud Palace began its sermon.

It was to accommodate the majority; otherwise, among those in the Primordial Wilderness capable of breaking through chaos to reach this place, only a scant few existed, all of them beings of great divine powers.

Yet these two had arrived so early without seeming to use any magic treasure.

Their cultivation was clearly profound.

Though startled inwardly, Hao Tian wore the solemn expression of a little adult as he answered seriously, "In reply, Daoist friend, it has not yet begun."

"Daoist friends may enter the hall first. Several Daoist friends have already arrived and are temporarily cultivating within."

The moment Hao Tian said this, Hong Yun immediately understood.

It must be the Three Pure Ones, Nu Wa, and the others. Has Kun Peng arrived already?

Then wouldn't that mean...

Turning his head, he saw indistinct figures already approaching!

Hong Yun hurriedly thanked Hao Tian and the other acolyte, grabbed Zhen Yuan Zi, and ran inside.

"They're already here, so what are you rushing for?"

Zhen Yuan Zi was puzzled.

Hong Yun had no time to explain, for they had now entered Purple Cloud Palace.

From outside, it looked like a simple, ancient little temple, yet within, a mustard seed contained Mount Sumeru—there was another world inside.

At the very front of the great hall stood a high platform, beneath which several figures were already seated.

Whoosh!

Hong Yun activated his Law of Wind, instantly overtaking Zhen Yuan Zi.

He shot straight toward the space beneath the platform!

At that moment, another gray figure came from behind him. Hong Yun sensed the same fluctuations of wind origin.

With only a moment's thought, who else could it be but Kun Peng?

In an instant, Kun Peng and Hong Yun landed one after the other atop the last two Prayer Mats.

Ah! Was this fixed fate?

Hong Yun had originally intended for himself and Zhen Yuan Zi to set out early and arrive sooner, so that Zhen Yuan Zi could claim a seat as well.

If they could both obtain an opportunity, then no matter which of them became a Saint, they would have someone to rely on!

Look at those who became Saints—even Nu Wa had only become alone after attaining Sainthood.

Which one of them had not moved as part of a group?

To fight alone was a dead end!

Yet before his plan had even begun, it had already died young.

Zhen Yuan Zi arrived at this moment as well. Coming up behind Hong Yun, he gave him an apologetic, bitter smile.

A tiny difference could lead to a gap of a thousand miles. With such a short distance inside Purple Cloud Palace, how could he possibly outrun two people who possessed the Four Symbols origin—the origin of wind?

He was earth!

Hong Yun turned and smiled at Zhen Yuan Zi, sending him a voice transmission to comfort him.

"Getting it is my fortune; losing it is my fate! Just don't turn into some Xianglin Sister later, Brother."

Zhen Yuan Zi was immediately confused again. Who was Xianglin Sister?

But Hong Yun had always said all sorts of strange things, and he had grown used to it.

He did not pursue the matter, simply sitting down on the ground and leaning against Hong Yun's back.

Only then did Hong Yun have the time to examine the other great beings of divine powers seated there.

There were six Prayer Mats in all.

The Three Pure Ones: Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuan Shi, Shangqing Tong Tian;

Nu Wa, Kun Peng, and Hong Yun!

The commotion caused by Hong Yun and Kun Peng had long since alerted the Three Pure Ones and Nu Wa, who had been cultivating with their eyes closed.

Hong Yun took the opportunity to give them a slight nod, counting it as a greeting.

Then he closed his eyes and sank into thought.

"Can't even this tiny fragment of heavenly fate be changed?"

"Am I really supposed to sit here and wait for death? Keep giving up my seat according to the predetermined course?"

With his eyes closed, Hong Yun could not help furrowing his brow.

Who knew how much time passed before, little by little, most of the people finally arrived.

The moment of destiny drew ever nearer!

Hong Yun opened his eyes as well and looked back at the growing crowd behind him.

He happened to see ten Stalwart Men surrounding two women—one Gentle as Jade, the other Cold as Ice.

They were none other than the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and the two women were Hou Tu and Xuanming!

Hong Yun's eyes immediately lit up!

"Damn it, if you're plotting against me, then I'll stir these waters until they're even muddier!"

"I'll directly give my seat to Little Sister Hou Tu. Can the Twelve Ancestral Witches really fail to hold onto one seat? If the two from the West fight the Twelve Ancestral Witches, it'll directly change the great tide of the Primordial Wilderness. Then perhaps my fate can change too!"

"I'd like to see whether Hongjun will give the Primordial Violet Qi to Hou Tu!"

He immediately transmitted his voice to Hou Tu:

"Little Sister Hou Tu, come over here quickly!"

The moment this thought arose in Hong Yun's heart and he called out to Hou Tu, a voice he had dreamed of hearing instantly rang out in his mind:

"Ding! The Great Dao Karma System has been activated. Host detected. Would you like to bind?"

Did that even need asking?

Was there anyone who didn't like a system?

No way, right?

No way, right?

A phrase that had been most popular in his previous life immediately surfaced in Hong Yun's mind:

"Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore!"

"Mm, truly fragrant!"

A system was more enticing than a hundred thousand aunties!

"I've been waiting for you like I waited for the stars and moon, System. You've finally arrived!"

Without even asking what functions the system possessed, Hong Yun directly gave his answer.

"Bind!"

The Great Dao Karma System had originally appeared within his Primordial Spirit as a glowing orb of light.

It was like an illusory state existing between being and nonbeing!

The instant Hong Yun said "bind," the orb of light immediately dispersed through his Primordial Spirit like mist.

Hong Yun felt even more refreshed than if he had eaten a Ginseng Fruit, as an invisible power seeped into his Primordial Spirit.

The orb vanished, but the system's voice appeared within his consciousness.

"Ding!"

"The Great Dao Karma System has been bound!"

In that instant, Hong Yun also gained an understanding of the system's functions.

As Hong Yun understood it, the Great Dao Karma System was actually something like an innate divine ability.
