Hou Tu and Xuanming had already taken up their posts!

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter—the four seasons had appeared in the Primordial Wilderness for the first time.

They had appeared across the lands controlled by the Witch Clan!

The other Ancestral Shamans had also lent their support.

Under the Ancestral Shamans' control, this part of the world was becoming more and more complete!

It was far more vibrant than the lands beyond the Witch Clan's control.

At this point, the territory controlled by the Witch Clan was only a small part of the Primordial Wilderness.

Moreover, the Witch Clan rarely associated with other mighty cultivators.

As a result, few people noticed the changes taking place among the Witch Clan!

But these perfected rules had stirred the Heavenly Dao.

The changes were reflected in Hongjun's mind at once!

As a Heavenly Dao Saint, he had, in truth, entrusted his primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao.

Naturally, every change in the laws between heaven and earth was crystal clear to Hongjun.

Hongjun suddenly manifested atop Jade Capital Mountain.

His gaze was profound as he looked toward the Witch Tribe!

It was as if his eyes could pierce through space and take in everything about the Witch Clan.

The changes among the Witch Clan were within Hongjun's expectations.

The Ancestral Shamans, with their temperament and lofty spirit, interpreted the word "wu" as standing tall between heaven and earth!

But in Hongjun's view,

the most fitting description of the Witch Clan was that they were born between heaven and earth and could commune with it!

Other races had to cultivate step by step after birth, slowly comprehending and mastering the Power of Law.

But the Witch Clan was born with control over the laws.

To them, the Power of Law was like air, and wielding the laws was as instinctive as breathing!

This was the favor heaven and earth bestowed upon Pan Gu's bloodline.

But Hongjun furrowed his brow slightly.

He was already preparing to merge with the Heavenly Dao and explore an even higher realm!

From the Heavenly Dao's perspective, the laws controlled by the Witch Clan existed beyond its reach!

The lands where the Witch Tribe dwelled formed a world of their own.

The Witch Clan held complete dominion over them.

To put it more bluntly, whenever the Ancestral Shamans wished, they could let these laws flow smoothly.

And if they wished otherwise, they could disrupt them!

How could Hongjun tolerate that?

Now that I am merging with the Dao, all laws should return to the Heavenly Dao, and all laws should originate from the Heavenly Dao!

How can there be an existence beyond my control?

That was what Hongjun thought.

What surprised him even more was that, according to his calculations,

the Witch Clan had acted too soon!

Could another variable have appeared?

Hongjun wondered. With a thought, he began to calculate.

As a thought arose in the primordial spirit he had entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, it stirred the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao was a net that ensnared everything!

All karma and destiny lay within it.

It gathered not only the laws of the world but also the karma and fate of countless living beings.

Countless threads of karma and destiny intertwined.

One end drew in all the beings of the Primordial Wilderness, while the other was wound into the great net of the Heavenly Dao!

Together, they wove a web of law so dense that not even air could pass through.

To transcend was, in other words, to transcend this great net.

Only those Above Grand Unity, whose own laws were complete and who could form a world of their own,

could break free from this great net!

Saints were untouched by karma, and so could be considered observers outside the web of law.

They could even reach in and tug at it!

Just as Hongjun was doing now.

Unseen by anyone, this great net stretched everywhere.

One section joined to the next, one loop locked into another!

These colorless, formless threads were like a fishing net with one of its strands being tugged.

In an instant, countless connected strands were set in motion.

In a single moment,

Hongjun followed the threads and found the knot belonging to the Witch Clan!

The Witch Clan's karma was clearly extremely tangled.

Yet the phantom of a massive hall loomed over it, shrouded in a sea of baleful bloodlust!

It turned the whole knot into a cloud of blood-red mist.

Even Hongjun could barely make it out!

He could not manipulate it.

But the various figures around the outskirts who were connected to the Witch Clan all came into view.

"Hong Yun..."

Hongjun looked at the one most deeply entangled with the Witch Clan.

"You again!"

Ever since the first lecture on the Dao, Hong Yun had repeatedly defied Hongjun's expectations.

Even Hongjun could not predict his actions!

Silently repeating Hong Yun's name, Hongjun felt a flicker of curiosity.

The strand representing Hong Yun looked like a red cloud.

All its many details were hidden within that cloud!

I'd like to see why there are so many variables surrounding you...

That was what Hongjun thought as he reached to tug at Hong Yun's karma!

Whoosh!

A violet light rose!

It was the suppressive power of the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, which suppressed Hong Yun's destiny.

The violet light was like an immovable boulder!

It stood firm and unmoving.

Hongjun paused for a moment.

Hong Yun was discussing his own abode with Zhen Yuan Zi.

Suddenly, a pang stirred in his heart!

The Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler within his primordial spirit burst into a boundless violet light.

It dyed Hong Yun's primordial spirit violet!

"Hm?"

Hong Yun's face was full of confusion.

Only a moment later did he realize what had happened, and his expression turned grave.

A trace of anger appeared!
