Hong Yun: I Traded My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start of the Primordial Wilderness - Part 36

So he felt no emotional fluctuations and continued lecturing as usual.

He immersed himself in the time spent cultivating.

Three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye!

"When the Dao Principles merge and form a system of their own, independent of Heaven and Earth,

"that is Great Luo!"

After saying this, Hongjun stopped.

In the Zixiao Palace, flowers had rained from the heavens and Golden Lotuses Springing from the Earth had appeared as a result of Hongjun's lecture.

Countless Daoist auras and laws

quietly faded away at that moment.

Everyone slowly woke from their cultivation, and the various phenomena receded into their bodies.

They understood that the lecture had ended.

For a moment, they all felt a sense of loss!

Hong Yun also looked regretful.

If he could keep cultivating, he would soon make up for the weakness in his Law of Earth.

But at that moment, his Law of Earth still lagged behind the other three by a little.

He had only refined the Water Law,

bringing it back on par with the Laws of Wind and Fire.

Now, the laws Hong Yun controlled had returned to a state of three major laws and one minor one.

But this minor law was already nothing like what it had been before!

"No matter. During this break between lectures, I'll definitely complete my Law of Earth!"

As he thought this, Hong Yun looked ahead at Hou Tu's back.

He smiled faintly!

Though Hongjun hadn't given him any special tutoring, he had Hou Tu!

Just then, Hongjun saw that everyone had awoken.

His expression remained unchanged as he said calmly,

"This lecture has ended. The next one will begin after a while."

Everyone bowed.

"Thank you, Saint, for your lecture!"

Hong Yun thanked him sincerely as well. Whatever the reason—whether Hongjun had been appointed by Heaven's Will or not—

Hongjun had been willing to share the Dao with the Primordial Wilderness, and Hong Yun had benefited from it. He owed Hongjun a karmic debt.

When Hong Yun finished thanking him and looked up,

Hongjun was already gone from the high dais!

Hong Yun smiled slightly.

He stretched his limbs, then turned to Xuanming.

"Did you gain anything from this lecture?"

Xuanming looked a little disappointed.

She slowly shook her head.

"I only grasped a few tricks for controlling my own laws."

"I didn't gain anything substantial."

Hong Yun gently reassured her.

"That's all right. Remember what you learned for now. You may get another chance to comprehend it in the future."

Xuanming nodded.

She had no idea what Hong Yun was thinking.

Of the Witch Clan, Hong Yun had first befriended Hou Tu and Xuanming. Now, he had also become entangled in the Witch Clan's karma.

Even if the Witch-Demon War couldn't be avoided, Hong Yun still wanted to change something!

"Hou Tu has already cultivated a Primordial Spirit ahead of time and obtained a Saint Position. Surely I can save at least a few of the other Ancestral Shamans, right?"

"If all else fails, what does it matter if they give up their Ancestral Witch True Bodies?"

A trace of resolve rose in Hong Yun's eyes.

He was thinking about the conflict between the Witches and Demons

when Di Jun approached the people in the front row with Taiyi, greeting them all.

"Di Jun and Taiyi greet all fellow Daoists!"

"We're all here to listen to the Dao in Zixiao Palace. That makes us fated to meet!"

"Hahaha..."

As he spoke, Di Jun cupped his hands to the Three Pure Ones, Nu Wa, Fuxi, Jieyin, Zhun Ti, Zhen Yuan Zi, Hong Yun, and the others in turn.

He truly lived up to his future title as the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan!

The second lecture had only just ended, and he was already expanding his circle of connections.

And he showed not a trace of awkwardness.

Hong Yun couldn't help but admire how naturally and confidently he struck up a rapport with everyone.

His eyes gleamed as he observed them in secret.

Sure enough, different personalities showed themselves in different ways.

"Taiqing greets all fellow Daoists!"

Taiqing's tone was as calm as still water.

Yuan Shi carried a hint of pride as he spoke in a clear voice:

"Yuan Shi greets all fellow Daoists!"

Though Tong Tian had a sharp, imposing air, he only clasped his hands and said, "Tong Tian."

But the smile on his face made people feel well-disposed toward him.

Nu Wa and Fuxi, meanwhile, were as different as softness and strength.

"Fuxi and Nu Wa greet all fellow Daoists!"

Only then did Hong Yun take a closer look at Nu Wa and Fuxi.

He glanced at Nu Wa, whose features were exquisite and whose bearing was extraordinary,

then shifted his gaze to Fuxi!

This future Xi Huang of the Demon Clan and Heavenly Emperor of Humanity made Hong Yun even more curious.

When he had been part of the Demon Clan, he had died fighting for them.

As the Heavenly Emperor of Humanity, he had also devoted himself wholeheartedly to the human race!

Though he had never become a Saint, Fuxi had ultimately attained the Dao.

Among the human race, the incense offerings to him were even more abundant than those to Nu Wa!

Fuxi had rugged features, but his eyes held a glint of wisdom.

He spoke with a hearty warmth!

He also took the time to greet every person in the circle with a cupped-hand salute.

When he met Hong Yun's gaze and noticed the curiosity in his eyes,

the corners of his mouth lifted in a gentle smile.

Fuxi was actually very curious about Hong Yun, too!

In his eyes, Hong Yun's decision to give up his seat to Hou Tu had been a brilliant move.

And with each passing encounter, Hong Yun's relationship with Hou Tu and Xuanming had grown closer.

That showed he hadn't been wrong to offer that favor.

During the first lecture,...
