Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Traded My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start - Part 39

When Hou Tu said this, Di Jun recalled the ten burly men who had surrounded her the first time they listened to a lecture.

But this time, they hadn't come to listen.

Di Jun wondered, Could something really have delayed them?

But if nothing had happened, why hadn't the other ten Ancestral Shamans come? Listening to a lecture was such an important matter.

After thinking it over briefly, he accepted their explanation, though he still felt regretful.

He sighed.

"What a pity!"

Zhen Yuan Zi said with a smile, "We cultivators have plenty of time. If we can't meet this time, we can always make up for it later!"

Fuxi nodded.

Smiling, he addressed everyone in a clear voice.

"Exactly. As long as we're willing, there'll always be another chance!"

He turned to Di Jun. "Fellow Daoist, why don't we get together first?"

Di Jun nodded.

The two exchanged smiles!

That would do, at least. This trip hadn't been a complete waste after all.

Now that things had come to this, Fuxi and Di Jun cupped their hands in farewell to Zhen Yuan Zi, Hong Yun, and the others.

"In that case, we'll take our leave first."

With that, the four of them joined together and tore through Chaos as they departed.

Watching the four figures disappear, Zhen Yuan Zi finally looked puzzled.

He turned to Hong Yun.

His eyes seemed to ask:

Why did you refuse Di Jun's friendly overture?

As far as the Witch Clan was concerned, Zhen Yuan Zi thought, even if Hong Yun and Hou Tu became Dao companions,

there was no need for Hong Yun to be in such a hurry!

Not to the point of directly rejecting Di Jun's invitation.

Hong Yun smiled wryly, but had no way to explain.

How could he put it?

Should he tell Zhen Yuan Zi that they didn't merely want to invite him to discuss the Dao?

They wanted to recruit him as the Demon Emperor!

And the future Witch-Demon War was even less something he could explain outright to the three of them.

Hong Yun could only pretend he hadn't understood Zhen Yuan Zi's look.

Gazing at the boundless Chaos, he mocked himself inwardly:

In the end, I'm the only one carrying this burden...

When Hong Yun and the others returned to the Primordial Wilderness and entered the Witch Tribe, they were suddenly struck by how much it had changed!

For one thing,

the tribe's population had increased several times over in such a short time!

Hou Tu and Xuanming exchanged glances, delight shining in their eyes.

No matter what, a growing population was a sign of the tribe's prosperity, so of course they were happy.

Looking at the changes in the Witch Clan, Hong Yun nodded slightly and murmured to himself.

Next, I'm afraid the Witch and Demon Races will take the stage in the Primordial Wilderness...

Having sensed the four of them return, Dijiang came to greet them with Zhu Jiuyin.

Before he even arrived, Dijiang's hearty, cheerful laughter could already be heard.

When Dijiang reached them,

Hong Yun asked with a smile, "The Witch Clan seems to have been developing very well lately. Is that why Brother Dijiang is so happy?"

Dijiang didn't deny it. He laughed heartily.

"I have to thank you for your guidance, Little Brother!"

"Just as we expected, our Witch Clan's fortune has greatly increased. Even the blood pool in Pangu Hall is nurturing members of our clan much faster!"

As they walked through the Witch Tribe, Dijiang introduced the others to the Witch Clan's development over this period.

After the four of them had gone to the Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the lecture, Dijiang had carried out their plan.

The Ancestral Shamans each took part in the workings of the Heavenly Dao according to the Power of Law they controlled.

Dijiang was the Space Ancestral Shaman and the God of Space. Because he excelled at song and dance, he was also the God of Song and Dance.

Ju Mang was the Wood Ancestral Shaman, the Wood God, the Spring God, and the God of the East.

Zhu Rong was the Fire Ancestral Shaman, the Fire God, the Summer God, and the God of the South.

Ru Shou was the Metal Ancestral Shaman, the Metal God, the Autumn God, and the God of the West.

Xuanming, who had gone to the Purple Heaven Palace, had also been assigned her roles in advance by Dijiang.

She controlled the Law of Ice, making her the Ice God, Winter God, and God of the North.

Hearing this, Hong Yun pondered for a moment.

Then he spoke.

"The responsibilities of the Ancestral Shamans don't have to be divided so rigidly."

"Instead, you should expand your authority as much as possible."

As he spoke, Hong Yun turned to Xuanming.

He smiled at her and said, "The Power of Law you control is ice, but it can also extend to water and rain..."

Dijiang smiled and nodded, but Zhu Jiuyin's voice came from beside him.

"If we do that, won't it cause friction between the Ancestral Shamans?"

Dijiang shook his head, his expression solemn.

"This isn't only for us as individuals. It's for the development of our Witch Clan!"

"If any of our brothers kicks up a fuss over this, send him to me!"

Hearing Hong Yun's advice, Xuanming nodded too.

She began considering how best to fulfill her duties and how the Laws might transform into one another.

Zhen Yuan Zi chuckled.

"Looks like Little Brother Hong Yun really does look out for his own!"

Everyone moved on from that topic.

Dijiang continued his explanation.

Hou Tu was the God of Earth, Qiang Liang the Thunder God, Zhu Jiuyin the God of Time, and Tian Wu the Wind God. Xi Zi controlled lightning, while She Bi Shi controlled the weather and was also the God of Poison.

Once they had assigned these roles, the Ancestral Shamans each took charge of their respective duties.

In the unseen workings of the world, the Heavenly Dao even bestowed its favor upon them.

Not only did the Witch Clan's fortune flourish, the Power of Law controlled by each Ancestral Shaman grew stronger as well!

Although Dijiang and the others hadn't gone to the Purple Heaven Palace to listen to the lecture,

their cultivation had advanced so quickly during this period that they had kept pace with Zhen Yuan Zi and Hong Yun.

They had already reached the late Great Luo stage!
