Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, Trading My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start (Section 25)

As Hong Yun had seen, the pointer landed exactly between Dijiang's blood essence and Zhu Jiuyin's blood essence!

"Congratulations, host. You've obtained two rewards at once!"

Hong Yun couldn't help rolling his eyes.

There was something wrong with his luck. When he drew for Zhun Ti, he got the elusive opportunity to obtain the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.

But when he drew for the Witch Clan, he got two prizes at once!

He couldn't help grumbling to himself, but thankfully, the Ancestral Shamans' blood essence hadn't been secretly extracted from Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin's bodies by the system.

As explained earlier, if the other party was willing to settle their karmic debt, the system would create the right conditions and opportunity.

If they weren't willing, the system would simply take action itself!

That was what had happened with Kun Peng's Profound Origin Water Control Banner.

Kun Peng was one of the poorest big names in the Primordial Wilderness. Aside from the Profound Origin Water Control Banner and the Demon Master Palace he had built himself, he didn't have any decent treasures.

The River Diagram and Luo Book were relics of Di Jun's that he had snatched from the battlefield!

They were later taken from him and given to Fuxi to prove his Dao!

How could he possibly offer Hong Yun anything in gratitude just because Hong Yun had helped him out?

So the system had taken the Innate Spiritual Treasure from him before he could obtain it.

And delivered it into Hong Yun's hands!

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin, on the other hand, had always wanted to thank Hong Yun, but he had refused them before.

Should I refuse them this time too?

Hong Yun wondered silently.

After leaving the main hall, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin walked side by side through the tribe.

Dijiang said,

"Hong Yun helped us again this time. Even though he's one of our own, we can't just let that go without showing our gratitude..."

"That's not how the Witch Clan does things!"

Zhu Jiuyin nodded.

Among the Ancestral Witches, he and Dijiang respectively cultivated the Time Law and the laws of space.

They were not only the first to be born, but also the strongest.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were led by the two of them!

So they usually discussed matters like this together.

They had originally planned to give Hong Yun the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler.

That would settle the karmic debt from giving up his seat last time!

But they hadn't managed to give it to him.

"Should we give the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler to Little Brother Hong Yun first?"

Zhu Jiuyin asked.

Dijiang nodded, then shook his head.

"We had already decided to give Hong Yun this ruler. That has nothing to do with what happened this time."

"True!"

Zhu Jiuyin agreed. Then, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, an idea came to him.

He turned it over carefully in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more sense it made!

His eyes gleamed as he smiled and said,

"What if we give Little Brother Hong Yun the blood essence of an Ancestral Shaman?"

"We call Little Brother Hong Yun one of our own, but his true form is Hong Yun, a pure and spiritual being!"

"He's very different from our Witch Clan!"

"If he had Ancestral Shaman blood essence, he could forge a Witch Clan avatar. Wouldn't that make it easier for him to get along with little sister Hou Tu?"

Dijiang burst out laughing!

"That would give Hong Yun half a claim to being a member of the Witch Clan!"

"That's a good idea!"

As he spoke, he settled on it without a second thought.

"I'll offer a drop of my blood essence!"

Zhu Jiuyin continued,

"One drop of blood essence can only create an avatar with the strength of an early-stage Great Shaman."

"Fellow Daoist Hong Yun is already at the Great Luo level. That would make the avatar a little too weak!"

"Then I'll offer a drop of my Ancestral Shaman blood essence too!"

As he spoke, he gave Dijiang a wry smile.

"After all, our laws of space and time are so profound that few of our people are likely to need our blood essence to break through in the future."

"Besides, Fellow Daoist Hong Yun should have a use for these two drops of blood essence."

Zhu Jiuyin had also noticed that Hong Yun intended to follow the path of the innate four elements: Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.

Returning to the source, he would ultimately merge with chaos!

If so, how could Hong Yun do without the laws of time and space?

In that case, giving Hong Yun these two drops of blood essence was exactly right!

After settling that matter, Zhu Jiuyin brought up something else.

"Ever since Hong Yun told us where our Witch Clan stands in the world, I've had a bad feeling..."

"I keep wondering: if things really are as Hong Yun said, and the Heavenly Dao is completed and the balance between clear and turbid is restored, will there still be a place for our Witch Clan?"

Only the Ancestral Witches could become gods of the world, govern its laws, and help perfect the Primordial Wilderness.

It was impossible for the entire Witch Clan to take part.

Could the providence they earned really protect the whole Witch Clan?

Zhu Jiuyin's expression was grave as he spoke.

Dijiang fell silent.

He had thought about it too, but hadn't come up with any good solution.

That was why he had been so happy at the thought that they could become gods of the world!

No matter what, it was a major step forward.

A strange light flickered in Zhu Jiuyin's eyes as he spoke, each word deliberate:

"I want to try!"

Dijiang immediately shouted,

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

The moment Zhu Jiuyin said that, Dijiang knew what he was planning.

Zhu Jiuyin controlled the Time Law.

He wanted to leap out of the river of time and see the Witch Clan's future!

"Those who toy with time will eventually be toyed with by time!"

Dijiang tried to dissuade him. "Besides, you're only at the Great Luo level. You haven't even reached perfection!"

The Great Dao of time and space existed in every world.

The more powerful the world, the stronger its laws of time and space!

In a small or even medium-sized world, a mighty cultivator who had reached the peak of that world could naturally transcend time and space.

They could even turn back time and return to a particular moment!

But in a supreme world like the Primordial Wilderness, what enveloped it wasn't merely the Time Law!

It was the true Great Dao of Time!

If the Great Dao of Time were compared to a surging river, Zhu Jiuyin was merely swimming in it, albeit with great skill.

He hadn't truly mastered time!

Only by attaining the highest realm of the Great Dao and transcending everything could he form a Great Dao of his own and stand alongside the Great Dao of Time!
