It would be inappropriate to call him "Daoist Friend" directly like the Ancestral Shamans.
It's not respectful enough!
Hong Yun had interactions with the Ancestral Shamans, and the Ancestral Shamans were naturally of a higher generation than the Great Shamans.
Hong Yun could also be considered a master in a way!
For a moment, Xing Tian was troubled.
Suddenly, Xing Tian had an idea. Since Hong Yun was also Hou Tu's Dao Companion.
He wasn't a Witch, so he would use the character "Ancestor."
Just like how other races outside referred to their elders!
With that thought, Xing Tian cupped his hands towards Hong Yun and said:
"Thank you, Old Ancestor Hong Yun, for your guidance!"
Hearing this, Hong Yun's eyes lit up, and he was instantly overjoyed.
This was the first person to call him Old Ancestor Hong Yun!
Hong Yun was still wondering why, in this Primordial Era, so many cultivators either called him Daoist Friend Hong Yun.
Or, if they were closer, just Hong Yun, or Little Brother Hong Yun!
Furthermore, he had no descendants, and his appearance was that of a handsome young man due to his state of mind.
Finally, someone called him Old Ancestor today.
He felt incredibly pleased inwardly!
He couldn't hide the smile on his face, chuckling as he stepped forward and patted Xing Tian's shoulder.
"You're very good. This Old Ancestor thinks highly of you!"
After speaking, he clasped his hands behind his back and slowly returned to his seat.
At this moment, enthusiastic cheers finally erupted throughout the venue!
They were like a tidal wave, soaring into the heavens!
As he walked closer, he saw Zhen Yuan Zi smiling meaningfully at Hong Yun.
Zhen Yuan Zi knew this little brother Hong Yun too well.
He was always coming up with bizarre ideas and strange remarks.
Most peculiar was that, on one hand, he wanted to lay low and develop in secret!
On the other hand, he couldn't resist showing off in front of others.
In Hong Yun's own words.
This was the need to act cool that everyone had!
Zhen Yuan Zi smiled and transmitted his voice to Hong Yun:
"Little Brother, you were showing off again, weren't you?"
Hong Yun immediately denied it.
"Guiding a junior shouldn't be considered showing off... Guiding! ... Is guiding on the path of cultivation considered showing off? ..."
He followed with a string of incomprehensible words, such as "imparting the Dao, teaching knowledge, and resolving doubts" and "tireless teaching," which made Zhen Yuan Zi laugh.
A happy atmosphere filled the space between the two!
Seeing Zhen Yuan Zi's expression, Hong Yun secretly wiped a bead of sweat.
Brother Zhen Yuan, after spending so much time with him, had become so familiar with "showing off."
It was his own fault.
Having spent countless years together, loneliness made it difficult for him to control his mouth and not say strange things.
To the point where Zhen Yuan Zi was being led astray by him!
Hong Yun looked at Zhen Yuan Zi with a wistful gaze and sighed inwardly:
"Brother, if you continue like this, it will be difficult for me to maintain my identity!"
With that thought, Hong Yun made a gesture to Zhen Yuan Zi.
He placed his palm at his neck and made a fierce cutting motion!
Zhen Yuan Zi quickly made a stopping gesture, ceasing to tease Hong Yun.
Hou Tu watched the silent exchange between Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi and found it amusing, covering her mouth as she chuckled.
"Daoist Friend Hong Yun truly has... a childlike heart!"
Hong Yun calmly sat down.
The spar with Xing Tian was considered Hong Yun's first appearance among the Witch Clan.
His first appearance as Hou Tu's Dao Companion!
Hearing the cheers of the Witch Clan members, it was clear that Hong Yun's appearance had gone well.
At least he had gained the approval of most of the Witch Clan!
At this stage, the Heavenly Dao had just manifested.
There was only Hongjun as a Heavenly Dao Saint, the Heavenly Dao was incomplete.
Otherwise, Hong Yun could have considered holding a grand ceremony.
Within the Primordial Era, he could have established marriage and ethics, and perhaps even vied for the merits of Di Jun's Heavenly Marriage.
Even if the Witch Clan lived on the land, wouldn't a terrestrial marriage be acceptable?
It was a pity, but it wasn't possible now.
Most of the Witch Clan were born from the blood pool in Pangu Hall, and the Demon Clan hadn't been unified yet.
Humans hadn't even appeared!
Where was the need for marriage and ethics?
Hong Yun could only reluctantly abandon the idea.
"When the time is right in the future, I will definitely hold a wedding ceremony again!"
"Not for the merits of the Heavenly Dao, hmm... I just want to give Hou Tu a perfect memory!"
Hong Yun thought to himself, while also considering that by then, he must have a large number of disciples and grandchildren or a tribe under his command.
Otherwise, if his wedding were to be handled by the Witch Clan.
Wouldn't that make him seem like he was marrying into their family?
"Wouldn't that make me the Primordial Era's son-in-law version of Hong Yun?"
Thinking of this, Hong Yun couldn't help but laugh.
While Hong Yun's thoughts were wandering, Dijiang had already walked up to him.
Dijiang smiled and extended his hand, and a long ruler-like object appeared in his palm.
It was the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler!
However, this treasure was covered in dust in the hands of the Witch Clan, and at this moment, it looked like a dull, gray thin piece.
"Little Brother Hong Yun, this Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler isn't of much use to us!"
"I'll give it to you!"
With that, Dijiang, with an indifferent attitude, handed the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler to Hong Yun.
"Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler?"
Hong Yun was stunned when he heard the name!
His eyes widened instantly.
Even though Hong Yun didn't know much about the spiritual treasures of the Primordial Era, he had heard of the name Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler!
The word "Primordial" itself was the same "Primordial" as in the Primordial Violet Qi!
But then he looked at the dusty little ruler.
Was this the legendary Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler?
Dijiang saw Hong Yun's surprise and showed a hint of pride.
Along with a tiny bit of resentment!
He hadn't seen Hong Yun so excited when he gave him two drops of Ancestral Shaman essence blood before.
What?
Was his Ancestral Shaman essence blood not as good as this little ruler?
