Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, Starting With a Saint Position for a Wife Section 4

Hong Yun wore a bitter smile.

It seemed no one here was a fool!

He could only reply through divine sense transmission:

"Though the opportunity is good, you need the strength to hold on to it. Brother Zhen Yuan Zi and I are too weak..."

"My spiritual instincts tell me that the two of us brothers cannot safeguard this opportunity..."

Hou Tu asked in surprise:

"What risks are involved?"

Hong Yun said, "Not necessarily for you, Fellow Daoist. After all, the Twelve Ancestral Witches are as one."

Hou Tu pondered inwardly, then communicated with Dijiang and the others to discuss it.

A moment later, Dijiang nodded.

Hou Tu said to Hong Yun:

"Then, many thanks, Fellow Daoist!"

With that, she sat down upon the Prayer Mat.

As Hou Tu sat down, the Great Dao Karma System gave a "ding" and issued a prompt:

"Giving up a seat to Hou Tu at Purple Cloud Palace grants one lottery draw."

A massive roulette wheel appeared in Hong Yun's mind, densely packed with all manner of options.

At a glance, Hong Yun was overjoyed to see that all these options came from the Witch Clan.

"First: the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation, the method to summon the True Body of Pangu;

Second: Pangu's essence blood and body tempering in Pangu Hall;

Third: Hou Tu;

Fourth: Xuanming;

..."

When Hong Yun saw that Hou Tu and Xuanming were actually among the lottery options, his face went blank with bewilderment.

"How can there be people among the prizes?"

Hong Yun could not help but ask.

The system immediately replied:

"Drawing Hou Tu or Xuanming will allow her to become the host's Dao Companion."

Hong Yun's eyes lit up.

"This one will do!"

He then carefully examined the options again, patted his chest, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Good thing the other ten Ancestral Witches weren't included. Otherwise, even if it meant giving up this lottery draw, I wouldn't draw!"

As though sensing Hong Yun's resentment, the system prompted:

"Begin the lottery draw?"

"Ding!"

"Since this is the host's first lottery draw, the system grants one free selection right. You may directly choose one of the options."

"Please choose!"

Hearing the system prompt, Hong Yun's eyes instantly crinkled with laughter.

His face was filled with delight.

"So this is the legendary newcomer gift pack?"

"Absolutely wonderful!"

At that moment, Zhen Yuan Zi tilted his head and quietly transmitted to Hong Yun:

"Little Brother, I've let you down this time..."

Hong Yun was puzzled. Hadn't the matter of failing to seize a seat already passed?

Why would Zhen Yuan Zi say such a thing?

Zhen Yuan Zi's gaze shifted back and forth between Hou Tu and Xuanming as he continued:

"It's a pity I failed to seize a seat. Otherwise, I could have given one up for Xuanming as well..."

"The key is, you never said you wanted to use this opportunity to win the favor of these two goddesses from the Witch Clan..."

Hong Yun's eyes immediately flew wide open!

Brother, where did your thoughts run off to?

Zhen Yuan Zi waggled his eyebrows.

"I get it. I get it all!"

"Didn't you say it yourself? Only children make choices. Of course Little Brother Hong Yun wants... all of them!"

As he transmitted his voice, he secretly made a fist-clenching gesture with his hand.

Seeing that Zhen Yuan Zi was about to say more, Hong Yun could not help rubbing his forehead.

He simply blocked Zhen Yuan Zi's divine sense!

He could not be bothered to explain.

Instead, he focused on studying the many choices presented by the system.

The first was the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil Formation, the Witch Clan's ultimate trump-card formation.

So long as the formation could be set up, it could summon a phantom of the True Body of Pangu. Its might was beyond imagination.

The second was Pangu's essence blood, along with tempering his body in Pangu Hall.

Hong Yun had transformed from the first red cloud between Heaven and Earth and belonged to Pure Qi.

The Ancestral Witches, meanwhile, tempered their bodies with the Turbid Qi between Heaven and Earth. Since they had been formed from Pangu's essence blood, they were born able to wield the Power of Law.

It was similar to Hong Yun, who had been touched by the origin of the Four Symbols of Heaven Opening and could innately wield the Power of Law.

If he could obtain Pangu's essence blood and create another body to wield the laws...

Perhaps he could unite purity and turbidity, completing his Power of Law!

At that thought, Hong Yun's heart stirred!

Yet as Hong Yun stared at the third option, he began to hesitate again.

They, beings born of the primordial, had been present at the beginning of Heaven Opening, when the laws had revealed themselves and origin power could be obtained with ease.

Thus, most of them followed the path of cultivating laws!

They merely cultivated through instinct and innate divine abilities, accumulating mana and comprehending laws.

Hong Yun cultivated the Powers of Law of water, fire, and wind.

If he could obtain the Law of Earth, he would be able to gather the Four Symbols of Heaven Opening!

That was his Dao.

Hou Tu clearly possessed the Law of Earth. Later, because she had rendered merit to Heaven and Earth, she comprehended the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

Moreover, Hong Yun had interacted with Hou Tu several times before.

Though Hou Tu was of the Witch Clan, she was unlike the other Ancestral Witches, whose bodies had been tempered by Turbid Qi and whose temperaments were violent as a result.

Hong Yun also had a rather favorable impression of Hou Tu.

Did that not make the third choice the most suitable one for him?

As for Xuanming...

Well, she was beautiful, certainly.

But her personality was ice-cold. Put a block of ice in the bed, and Hong Yun felt he would not be able to take it either!

But if he became Dao Companions with Hou Tu, would he not be dragged into the Witch-Demon Calamity?

As the great calamity of the Primordial Wilderness, the Witch-Demon Calamity had claimed the lives of countless mighty cultivators who became entangled in it!

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun and Taiyi of the Demon Race—every one of them was a supreme great divine ability wielder in the Primordial Wilderness.

All of them perished in this calamity!

Hong Yun had already been a walking jinx to begin with. If he got mixed up in it too, would that not be courting death?
