Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Traded My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start, Section 21

"Brother Zhen Yuan Zi!"

"Come on, let's go study this divine ability!"

With that, the group hurried off to another place in a flurry.

Hong Yun and Hou Tu gathered the powers of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, continually comprehending the Power of Law.

Zhen Yuan Zi also joined the Ancestral Shamans in studying the divine ability "Sleeve Universe."

Ever since Hong Yun had mentioned this divine ability to him, Zhen Yuan Zi had kept it in mind.

And just as Hong Yun had said,

with a wave of his sleeve, he could take his enemies into it and deal with them however he pleased.

The sheer style of it, the air of a peerless expert—it was something Zhen Yuan Zi greatly yearned for!

Though he still hadn't quite figured out what Hong Yun meant by "style"!

Meanwhile, after the three thousand listeners at the Zixiao Palace returned to the Primordial Wilderness,

most of them, like Hong Yun and the others, shut themselves away to cultivate as soon as they got back to their abodes.

They devoted themselves to comprehending the Dao taught by Hongjun!

Even those whose innate gifts were unsuited to cultivating the Immortal Dao tried every means to absorb its principles!

After all, cultivation ultimately came down to "technique, method, and Dao."

All paths led to the same destination.

Master one method, and all methods become clear!

And because so many great powers had shut themselves away to cultivate, the Primordial Wilderness entered a rare period of peace.

There were far fewer battles among those above the Golden Immortal realm than before!

One day, Hong Yun, who had been immersed in cultivation, felt a stir in his heart.

"The second lecture is coming up soon. I can't miss the date..."

As he sensed the Law of Earth he had comprehended from Hou Tu's soul,

a faint smile appeared at the corner of Hong Yun's mouth.

For nearly ten thousand years, the two of them had continuously circulated the powers of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

But Hou Tu had mastered one of these paths to a profound degree, while Hong Yun cultivated all three of the others, and his mastery couldn't compare to hers.

So all they could do was let the laws circulate!

Tracing them back to their origins and advancing another step was still too difficult.

Even so, Hong Yun had gained a great deal during this time!

Originally, he had only comprehended a tiny bit of the Law of Earth.

Better than nothing!

But after all this time, and with their souls directly melding as they cultivated,

the Law of Earth had now reached a third of the level of the other three laws!

"If we can cultivate like this after every lecture, won't I soon be able to balance all four laws?"

At the thought, Hong Yun knew it was only wishful thinking.

The farther one advanced along the path of cultivation, the harder each step became.

How could he make the same amount of progress again in the same amount of time?

That was pure fantasy.

"But still, this gives me a chance to spend more time with Hou Tu. That's nice too!"

As he was thinking this, Hou Tu sensed his thoughts.

She gave a soft snort.

Hong Yun didn't feel awkward about it. After all, they had been together for so long.

Their minds were connected; they no longer needed to hide much from each other!

Of course, that didn't mean they laid themselves completely bare, revealing every last thought to one another.

Everyone had a few secrets, after all.

Hong Yun certainly did, and surely Hou Tu did too.

As for the various secrets of the Witch Clan, even if Hou Tu didn't mind Hong Yun knowing about them,

she couldn't just go around revealing them!

So even this understanding between them had its limits.

But at least they could understand each other.

Hou Tu asked,

"Shall we try again to unite the four elements and return them to their origin?"

Hong Yun's soul rippled.

"Let's leave it. We've tried so many times already; there's no need to force it."

"None of our laws are complete yet, and they're still unbalanced with one another."

"Trying again won't help. We can revisit it later..."

Hong Yun conveyed his thoughts to Hou Tu through his soul.

The next moment,

they both opened their eyes and smiled at each other.

Hong Yun no longer addressed Hou Tu formally as "Ancestral Witch Houtu" or "Daoist Hou Tu."

He simply called her by name!

Hou Tu did the same.

"Hou Tu, there isn't much time left before we have to set out for the Zixiao Palace again. Why don't we invite the Ancestral Shamans here and discuss it together?"

Hou Tu nodded. With a thought, she used a secret Witch Clan technique to contact the other Ancestral Shamans.

At that moment, Dijiang and Zhen Yuan Zi were cultivating together.

They had finally created the Sleeve Universe divine ability, and each had made decent progress in cultivating it!

After receiving the message, Dijiang called for Zhen Yuan Zi,

then summoned the other Ancestral Shamans as well.

Together, they returned to the main hall.

As soon as Zhen Yuan Zi walked in, he took one look at Hong Yun and wore an incredulous expression!

"How have you cultivated so quickly?"

During this time, Hong Yun had not only comprehended the Law of Earth; the laws he had already mastered had also grown stronger through the cycle of the four elements.

He had even taken the opportunity to completely refine the Profound Origin Water Control Banner he had obtained earlier, which he hadn't had time to refine during the lecture!

It was now being nurtured within Hong Yun's soul.

As a result,

Hong Yun's strength had soared compared to before!

Previously, among the Great Luo, there wasn't much to say about him besides how fast he could run.

But now, he could absolutely be considered one of the pillars of the Great Luo realm, a true expert among them.

Zhen Yuan Zi had spent every day with Hong Yun before this, so he knew his strength very well.

Naturally, he was the first to notice the change in Hong Yun!

Hong Yun smiled and said,

"I have Hou Tu to thank for that!"

Zhen Yuan Zi couldn't help shaking his head, clicking his tongue.

"I lent you my Earth Book before, but I never saw you improve this quickly!"

"Sure enough, you and little sister Hou Tu are fated to be together."

Hong Yun rolled his eyes at Zhen Yuan Zi.

How could those things be compared?

Back then, Zhen Yuan Zi himself hadn't even figured out the Earth Book, let alone fully comprehended the Power of Law it contained.
