Hong Yun could only respond to each of them with a look.
No problem!
Then he turned to Hou Tu and said:
"This time, you must make use of the Prayer Mat to strengthen your Primordial Spirit as much as possible!"
Hou Tu smiled. "Don't worry. I know."
Hong Yun looked at Xuanming again. Though her face remained calm, her eyes betrayed a hint of unease and agitation.
Like the other ten Ancestral Shamans, Xuanming had no interest in the immortal path Hongjun taught.
And without the help of a Prayer Mat,
it would be difficult for her to gain anything from the lecture!
In fact, when the time came, the Purple Cloud Palace would be filled with spiritual energy, which would only make her uncomfortable.
For some inexplicable reason, Xuanming had agreed to come listen to the lecture with Hou Tu and the others.
It was only after she had actually sat down that she began to regret it.
I shouldn't have come...
Xuanming was grumbling to herself when Hong Yun's clear voice sounded beside her.
She turned to look.
Hong Yun smiled and spoke softly:
"When the lecture starts, just focus on whatever is useful to you."
"It all comes down to comprehending and mastering laws, anyway!"
"The Great Dao is universal. There's bound to be something you can use. If you can't understand it, that's fine too. Just do your best to remember it."
As Xuanming listened to Hong Yun, she felt her nerves settle.
She gave him a gentle nod.
Only then did Hong Yun feel at ease.
He turned his attention back to himself, first calming his mind and circulating his own magic power.
He slowly set the four origins of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind in motion.
Then he quietly waited for Hongjun's lecture to begin.
Some time later,
Hongjun appeared on the high platform at the front, without anyone noticing.
When you looked at him, he wasn't there.
Look again, and he was already present, as though he had been there all along.
It was simply that no one had noticed!
Those who realized Hongjun had arrived were secretly astonished.
He had appeared silently before so many people,
without leaving a trace for anyone to detect!
That alone showed just how profound Hongjun's cultivation was.
Hongjun said nothing, so everyone quietly bowed their heads to him in greeting.
A sign of respect!
Hongjun looked over the people in the Purple Cloud Palace.
There were no longer three thousand of them!
But the number had not fallen by much either, just as he had expected.
Hongjun gave a slight nod.
"Good. This is much better than I expected!"
Hongjun was in high spirits. Although he had said that those who came to the Purple Cloud Palace to hear the lecture would do so by fate,
the more people who heard his teachings, the farther his Dao would spread throughout the Primordial Wilderness!
That would benefit him greatly, so why not?
Now, aside from the ten Ancestral Shamans of the Witch Clan, whose absence was conspicuous,
those who had failed to come were all people without deep fortune or blessings.
Hongjun was thoroughly satisfied!
He swept his gaze across the hall once more.
The many people gathered to hear his lecture all came into view.
"Hmm?"
Hongjun's gaze suddenly paused on Hong Yun.
Hong Yun's fortune had once been strong, but it had lacked a foundation. His blessings were plentiful, yet scattered.
Like Hong Yun's own origins, they had seemed rootless and adrift.
Last time, Hongjun had even considered reclaiming the origins of Water, Fire, and Wind attached to Hong Yun.
That would have benefited him greatly.
Even if he couldn't take them for himself, returning them to Heaven and Earth would have helped the Heavenly Dao become more complete!
He had already made plans.
But now, Hong Yun's fate had changed drastically!
Though a trace of baleful energy had mixed into it,
his fortune had suddenly shifted, like a floating duckweed finally taking root on land.
His fortune had become solid and resilient!
The changes in his aura had also become impossible to predict, leaving his future a complete mystery.
Even Hongjun couldn't see through it!
"The Law of Earth?"
Hongjun recognized the aura drifting from Hong Yun, then glanced at Hou Tu.
Could Hong Yun have come across another fortuitous opportunity?
Or has he obtained a spiritual treasure capable of stabilizing his fortune?
Hongjun felt a sudden surge of curiosity about Hong Yun, who had nearly ruined his plans.
Before, Hong Yun had merely been one person among many in his eyes.
Now, he had caught Hongjun's attention!
The first time, Hong Yun had thwarted his calculations, leaving him able to settle the cause and effect with the West only halfway!
Now, Hong Yun's fate had changed drastically again.
Even Hongjun couldn't make out how the future would unfold!
After pausing for a moment, Hong Yun realized that Hongjun was staring at him.
His heart gave a sudden lurch!
What's going on? Has he set his sights on me?
Hong Yun's instincts prickled as if something had pierced him, but his expression didn't change.
He still wore his trademark smile!
Eight gleaming white teeth.
Hongjun gave a slight nod, then withdrew his gaze and concealed his doubts.
Seeing that the time had come,
Hongjun began his second lecture!
In his previous lecture, Hongjun had taught how to cultivate to the True Immortal realm.
Before reaching True Immortal in the immortal path,
one had to comprehend the laws or prepare to do so.
In his second lecture, he would teach how to master the laws.
The cultivation methods corresponding to the Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, and Great Luo realms.
