Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Traded My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start - Part 45
At those words, the four fell silent.
After a while, Di Jun raised his head, his eyes shining.
"During the sermon, Saint Hongjun once said, 'There are three thousand Great Daos, and the Immortal Dao is only one of them!'"
"Besides, was there even an Immortal Dao before the Saints attained enlightenment?"
He finished speaking and looked at the three of them intently.
"Elder brother is right!"
"The Dao is made by people!"
"Must we really be bound to the Immortal Dao? Can we not forge a path of our own?"
Taiyi gazed at Di Jun with admiration and spoke in a ringing voice.
Seeing that the two brothers had such lofty ambitions, Fuxi thought even more highly of them.
"Exactly. We'll create a path of our own!"
Fuxi was exceptionally wise, and his Dao Heart was firm.
Though he knew that forging a new path would surely bring all sorts of difficulties, he remained full of confidence.
"Now, the myriad living beings of the Primordial Wilderness belong to countless different races!"
"Only after reaching a certain stage of cultivation can they transform into the Innate Dao Body, but every race has its own innate gifts!"
"Heaven and Earth must leave every living being a way to survive!"
"If we create a path that allows every race to make full use of its gifts..."
As he spoke, Fuxi's eyes seemed to glow!
He looked at the other three in delight.
"Two heads are better than one! Why don't we pool our strengths and create this path together?"
Di Jun readily agreed, laughing aloud.
"Excellent!"
The four looked at one another, then smiled in understanding.
After a brief pause, they resumed discussing the Dao, plunging into a fierce storm of ideas.
Inspiration sparked, and their wits clashed.
"To bring out one's natural gifts, I think we should strengthen our bloodlines. Then divine abilities will arise on their own!"
"Temper our magical power and strengthen our bodies?"
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
One day,
the funnel formed from the gathered spiritual energy around Hong Yun suddenly lost its pull.
Then it slowly dissipated into the world!
Hong Yun also awoke from his cultivation.
It was not only because the Third Sermon was drawing near. Hong Yun had also made a major discovery!
The Primordial Violet Qi did not merely contain the Power of Law.
It actually held an entire Dao!
—The Formation Dao!
As Hong Yun opened his eyes, delight and surprise mingled in his gaze.
Then a trace of doubt arose.
Wasn't the Formation Dao supposed to be the path Tong Tian proved?
Sect Master Tong Tian excelled equally in swordsmanship and formations!
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which required Four Saints to break, drew its power from combining these two paths!
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was ferocious and immensely powerful in attack!
But when it came to suppressing fortune,
it was far inferior to other Innate Spiritual Treasures.
Could that be because the true Formation Dao treasure was the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler?
Hong Yun pondered the matter.
If he had the chance to get a look at the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram in the future, perhaps he could advance the Formation Dao within the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler even further!
But for now, the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram was still in Hongjun's hands.
He had yet to give it to Tong Tian.
"If it's Tong Tian, maybe there's still a chance..."
Setting the thought aside, Hong Yun examined himself.
Though this cultivation session had not allowed him to fully refine the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler,
his cultivation had advanced once again.
He had reached the late stage of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
And with his insights into the Formation Dao, Hong Yun had now created a formation based on the laws he controlled.
The Four Symbols Primordial Chaos Great Array!
When deployed, it unified the four symbols of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, returning them to primordial chaos.
It could use this to annihilate its enemies!
Reversing the formation could open a minor world from within primordial chaos. Though it lacked Dao resonance, this still counted as the power to "split the heavens and create the earth"!
If he could find four matching Innate Spiritual Treasures, the formation would finally be complete.
"At the very least, it shouldn't be any weaker than the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, right?"
Hong Yun was thoroughly satisfied.
What was more,
Zhen Yuan Zi's movement divine ability—Shrinking Space to a Few Inches—
had gained a new variation when Hong Yun comprehended the Four Symbols Primordial Chaos Great Array.
By incorporating the Law of Wind, he made the wind unobstructed.
He could call this divine ability "Wind Travel Without Interval." Once unleashed, it was so fast that space itself seemed to lose meaning.
"Right, there's also the Ancestral Shaman blood essence. The Profound Origin Water Control Banner has been washing it continuously, and the baleful aura should be almost gone..."
Hong Yun reviewed his progress in every area, smiling with quiet satisfaction.
At last, his efforts these past days had paid off!
Ever since Hongjun began preaching, he had done nothing but travel and cultivate without pause.
The system had been his greatest aid, but turning that aid into his own strength still depended on him.
After all, the system couldn't simply pour insights into him from nowhere or raise his cultivation realm.
If it really could do that,
wouldn't it be better for the system to raise him straight to Sainthood or even the Great Dao?
At the thought, Hong Yun couldn't help shaking his head.
"Can't even beat Hongjun, and I still have to hide my strength from him."
"What a disgrace to the system!"
"The novels I used to read—all those systems were ridiculously overpowered, weren't they?"
Hong Yun grumbled as he spoke.
At the same time, he directly placed the system deep within the Primordial Sky Measuring Ruler.
He sealed it inside the Four Symbols Primordial Chaos Great Array!
The Great Dao Karma System did not resist.
It seemed able only to follow Hong Yun's own will!
If the system could develop sentience, it would probably be trembling in fear, looking utterly pitiful.
