The Four Elements Took Their Places!

Four kinds of Power of Law formed a perfect cycle, rotating endlessly between the two of them!

Hong Yun and Hou Tu's souls also came into contact and blended within it!

What did it feel like to be in perfect sync with someone?

Like being in perfect sync with them a thousand times over!

Hong Yun instantly understood Hou Tu's thoughts, and Hou Tu also sensed how much he cared for her.

As their laws blended, their hearts became one, and all barriers to sharing their feelings vanished.

Sensing that Hou Tu felt the same way, Hong Yun was overcome with joy!

A ripple passed through Hou Tu's soul:

"Focus on comprehending the laws for now. We mustn't let this distract us from what matters!"

Hong Yun readily agreed, then urged Hou Tu to comprehend the Power of Law he controlled as well!

If Hou Tu comprehended the three laws of water, fire, and wind, they would surely benefit her greatly.

Their exchange lasted only a moment.

Then they each calmed themselves and began to formally comprehend the laws!

Xuanming looked left and right!

The two sat facing each other, smiling as they immersed themselves in cultivation.

That left her sitting off to the side by herself.

Xuanming pressed her lips together and snorted. She couldn't be bothered to sit there watching them any longer.

She got up and left the hall!

Not far outside the hall, Zhen Yuan Zi and the Ancestral Shamans had gathered, whispering among themselves.

Gong Gong shook his head and murmured in disbelief:

"That can't be right..."

"Little Sister Xuanming is so cold. How could she have fallen for Fellow Daoist Hong Yun?"

Zhen Yuan Zi stroked his beard, wearing an inscrutable expression.

"You don't know the whole story, Fellow Daoist!"

"We all came out to give Little Brother Hong Yun and Ancestral Witch Houtu a chance. Do you think Ancestral Shaman Xuanming didn't realize that?"

Zhen Yuan Zi countered:

"If so, why didn't she leave with us?"

The Ancestral Shamans exchanged glances.

Their eyes filled with question marks!

That was right. Why hadn't she come out?

Seeing that he had stumped them, Zhen Yuan Zi smugly explained:

"There are two possibilities!"

"First, Ancestral Shaman Xuanming thinks we're giving her a chance!"

"That's why she stayed with Little Brother Hong Yun!"

"The second possibility is that she saw how Little Brother Hong Yun was devoted to Ancestral Witch Houtu and couldn't accept it! She's determined to get involved!"

Dijiang and the other Ancestral Shamans nodded.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuan Zi is absolutely right!"

"We like Fellow Daoist Hong Yun a great deal too. He's pleasant and straightforward!"

"If only..."

As they spoke, they caught sight of Xuanming emerging from the hall.

Her face expressionless, she walked straight toward them!

They were so startled that they couldn't get out another word. They just froze and watched her approach.

Zhen Yuan Zi saw her too, and his pupils contracted!

He hurriedly changed the subject, turning to Dijiang:

"Fellow Daoist Dijiang, Little Brother Hong Yun said I should practice a spatial divine ability: shrinking the vast to the size of a mustard seed and gathering it inside my sleeve! He called it Sleeve Universe!"

"When fighting an enemy, I could sweep my sleeve and take them inside!"

"You're an expert in the Dao of Space. Could you give me some pointers?"

Dijiang understood at once.

He immediately picked up Zhen Yuan Zi's cue, rocking his head as he spoke:

"Hmm, that's a simple matter. But using this spatial divine ability only to trap someone would be a bit of a waste!"

"Why not add other laws? Once you take an enemy inside, you could wear them down with all kinds of Power of Law!"

"Wouldn't that be even better?"

"Brothers, let's think together about how to improve this divine ability!"

The Ancestral Shamans immediately launched into a noisy, exaggerated discussion.

Xuanming walked past them.

Xuanming went on by!

She still looked as if she wanted nothing to do with anyone, but she said nothing.

She only let out a cold snort.

It wasn't until she had passed that the eleven men wiped away their sweat and let out a long breath!

Zhurong, always quick-tempered, hurriedly asked:

"Did something go wrong? Did they have a fight?"

The hall where Hong Yun and Hou Tu sat was one of the separate sections formed from Pangu Hall.

It could block spiritual perception!

They had been chattering outside for quite a while, but they had no idea what was happening inside.

"Go take a look!"

Zhurong tiptoed over and cautiously pushed open the hall's door.

Then he carefully closed it again.

He hurried back!

Before he even reached the others, he was grinning from ear to ear.

"They're cultivating!"

"They're cultivating!"

"What do you mean, they're cultivating? Say it clearly!"

"The two of them are using their souls to comprehend the Power of Law!"

Everyone froze for a moment, then, like Zhurong, broke into grins and laughter!

Zhen Yuan Zi shook his head and chuckled.

"Then what about Ancestral Shaman Xuanming just now..."

"Forget it! It's Hong Yun's business, anyway."

Since Hong Yun and Hou Tu were inside the hall comprehending the Power of Law and cultivating in seclusion, there was no need for the rest of them to stay outside.

Dijiang said:

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuan Zi, about the Sleeve Universe you mentioned just now—how about we find somewhere to discuss it?"

Zhen Yuan Zi smiled.

"Sounds good!"

"But calling each other 'Fellow Daoist' now would make us sound distant!"

Dijiang was taken aback, then burst out laughing.

"Exactly! Exactly!"

Since Zhen Yuan Zi had attained his human form earliest, Dijiang cheerfully called him:
