Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, I Trade My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start - Chapter 44

After he finished speaking, Zhen Yuan Zi smiled at Hong Yun.

He took one step, and vanished from Hong Yun's sight!

As Zhen Yuan Zi left, Hong Yun felt a trace of sadness.

Ever since Hong Yun had taken form, the two had been inseparable.

This was the first time they had parted since then.

Watching Zhen Yuan Zi leave so freely,

"That guy..."

Hong Yun gave a wry smile and shook his head, then collected his thoughts.

He sat down in quiet meditation and sank his soul into the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler, preparing to fully refine the spiritual treasure.

Hong Yun's eyes were closed, and a purple light from the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler shone around him.

Even the hall where he sat, despite its immense inner space, was now filled with purple mist.

Gradually, spiritual energy began gathering there.

The hall was like a gluttonous beast!

Since it was inside Pangu Hall, the change had only just begun when

Dijiang sensed it!

He chuckled and waved a hand.

The invisible Law of Space activated.

Pangu Hall sent the great hall outside, into the Primordial Wilderness.

It landed atop a mountain beyond the Witch Tribe's territory!

Hong Yun sensed something was amiss.

"I actually forgot to leave Pangu Hall..."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Hong Yun soon returned to stillness.

This time, refining the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler was different from when he had comprehended the Law of Earth.

He not only had to master the Power of Law contained within the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler,

but also build up his own magical power!

For cultivators, improving their strength came down to their realm, magical power, divine abilities, and spiritual treasures!

There was no need to explain the realm. Hongjun had only just organized and lectured everyone on it.

As for accumulating magical power, one had to circulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through one's own Dao, imprinting it with one's own aura.

Only then could it be called magical power!

Although cultivators at every stage could draw upon the power of heaven and earth,

the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was complex, and using it was never as convenient as using power one had refined oneself!

Besides, to draw upon the power of heaven and earth, one had to be close to the Heavenly Dao, didn't one?

Why did Saints have inexhaustible magical power within the Primordial Wilderness?

Was it not because their souls were entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, which regarded them as part of itself, allowing them to draw on its power at will?

But if they entered Chaos,

with no world to draw power from, they could only rely on themselves!

So Hong Yun took advantage of the time spent refining the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler to increase his own magical power.

Hong Yun began cultivating once more.

Within his soul, Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind cycled without pause, as he drew in the boundless spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He fed it into this circulating process!

After a few cycles, the spiritual energy was refined and stamped with Hong Yun's own imprint.

It became Hong Yun's magical power!

The magical power he had just cultivated immediately poured into the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler like a surging flood.

It endlessly washed over it!

Working in tandem with the power of Hong Yun's soul, it occupied every inch of space within the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler.

Above the mountain peak, endless spiritual energy swirled and gathered.

It looked like a gigantic funnel!

The spiritual energy was rapidly devoured by Hong Yun.

While Hong Yun was refining the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler,

the two Di Jun brothers were discussing the Dao with Fuxi and Nu Wa at their dwelling on the slopes of Bu Zhou Mountain.

The four of them each shared their understanding of what Hongjun had taught.

They learned from one another's strengths and reinforced what they had learned!

After their discussion, they all felt they had made considerable progress.

In high spirits, they continued chatting for a while.

Feeling the lingering pressure of Great God Pangu around Bu Zhou Mountain,

Di Jun marveled and nodded repeatedly.

"Even after Great God Pangu transformed into heaven and earth so long ago, the pressure he left behind is still astonishing!"

"Fellow Daoists, can you cultivate by drawing on this power?"

Fuxi nodded, then smiled bitterly.

"My sister and I had the same idea, which is why we established our dwelling halfway up Bu Zhou Mountain.

But we haven't managed to comprehend anything from it..."

Di Jun asked curiously,

"Then why not go to the very peak of Bu Zhou Mountain, where the pressure is strongest?"

"You might even find an opportunity there!"

Nu Wa shook her head, a faint smile on her fair, snow-white face.

"Opportunity depends above all on affinity!"

"Besides, the highest place isn't suitable for cultivation."

At that thought, Nu Wa was reminded of how she and Fuxi had struggled to cultivate here.

The two of them had started at the foot of Bu Zhou Mountain when their cultivation was weak.

As their cultivation advanced, they gradually climbed higher.

In the end, they settled here!

Even now, with their cultivation greatly improved, feeling the pressure of Pangu still made her wonder: just how powerful had Great God Pangu been, and what realm had he reached?

If Great God Pangu was their goal,

how long and arduous would the road ahead be?

She let out a soft sigh, her eyes clouded with worry.

With Fuxi's help, she had secured a place near the front.

The mysteries of this position had also allowed her cultivation to advance rapidly. She was now in the late stage of Great Luo and had even surpassed Fuxi!

Yet the more she progressed, the more she felt how difficult it was to achieve Primordial Unity.

"How difficult it is to attain the Dao!"

Fuxi smiled at his younger sister, his eyes resolute.

"Before, we had no clear path ahead. We only knew to comprehend the Laws and accumulate magical power."

"Now Saint Hongjun has lectured on the Dao, and the path of cultivation is clear."

"It should be easier than before!"

Nu Wa wasn't encouraged by what Fuxi had said.

She continued,

"Saint Hongjun said we should take the Innate Dao Body as our foundation, but..."

"If we cultivate using the Innate Dao Body, we'll be putting the cart before the horse!"
