Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Traded My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start, Section 48

After hearing Xuanming's explanation and sensing the aura of the Winter God's Dharma Body, Hong Yun fell into thought.

"So this... is actually another kind of position granted by Heaven and Earth?"

"It just has fewer restrictions?"

If that was the case, then it was easy to understand why the Heavenly Dao had schemed to make the Ancestral Shamans return to Heaven and Earth!

The Ancestral Shamans were full of drive now, but what if one day they grew unhappy, or used their Dharma Bodies in a great battle against the demon race?

Wouldn't the Laws they were responsible for fall into chaos?

Only when the Ancestral Shamans dispersed and became part of the Primordial Wilderness would the Heavenly Dao truly be stable!

For a moment, Hong Yun didn't know whether the path he had told the Ancestral Shamans about was a blessing or a calamity.

"Alas, if you can, I'd advise you to give up this Dharma Body outright."

"Merge it with Heaven and Earth!"

"If you do, since a portion of your soul is already in this Winter God Dharma Body, you can still exist alongside Heaven and Earth."

After hearing Hong Yun say this, Xuanming immediately objected.

"How could I do that?"

"Nearly half of the Power of Law I control is in this Dharma Body. If I merge it with Heaven and Earth, wouldn't my strength take a huge hit?"

Hong Yun gave Xuanming a helpless look, then glanced at Zhen Yuan Zi and Hou Tu.

They didn't seem to think much of it either!

That was true. Why would they merge their Dharma Bodies with Heaven and Earth when nothing was wrong?

That would be like cutting off a piece of your own flesh!

"But life is always about weighing what to give up and what to keep. Things are always changing!"

For a moment, Hong Yun thought of himself, too, and silently questioned his own heart.

"If Hongjun really gives you Primordial Violet Qi, will you be able to make up your mind to give it up?"

"Even if you know that the Primordial Violet Qi might only be the source of calamity you bring upon yourself?"

Hong Yun asked himself.

He realized he couldn't give himself a firm answer.

Now he had nothing to say about the Ancestral Shamans' choices.

If he couldn't do it himself, how could he presume to criticize others?

Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you!

Alas, I can only take things one step at a time!

Hong Yun thought.

Then he simply dropped the subject and said no more about it.

He returned to the matter of setting out and settled on a specific time.

As the Third Sermon drew near, it wasn't only Hong Yun and the others who set off. Many of those who had attended the sermons at the Purple Cloud Palace also began making their way there.

Everyone knew what the Third Sermon would bring, and they had been looking forward to it for a long time.

The first two sermons had followed a clear progression.

Surely the Third Sermon would cover how to attain the Dao, how to achieve Primordial Unity, and how to attain the position of a Saint?

At the thought, everyone with ambitions for cultivation grew eager.

The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, Fuxi and Nu Wa, and the Di Jun brothers had all set out for the Chaos early.

Hong Yun naturally left earlier than before, too.

And now, Hong Yun's cultivation had advanced further.

His speed traveling through the Chaos had improved as well!

As they traveled, Zhen Yuan Zi was telling Hong Yun about a place he had found for him to establish a Daoist sanctuary.

"This place is just the right distance from Wuzhuang Temple and the Witch Tribe!"

"It lies where the earth's ley lines converge, and it's brimming with spiritual energy."

"Most importantly, the moment I saw the place, I saw rosy clouds hanging over the mountain peaks, bathing the entire mountain in crimson!"

"I immediately felt that it was a perfect match for Little Brother Hong Yun!"

Within the halo Hong Yun had raised around them, Zhen Yuan Zi gesticulated excitedly as he described what he had found.

Even Hou Tu and Xuanming were intrigued, curiosity showing in their eyes.

"Once the sermon is over, we'll go take a look."

"Don't worry, it'll definitely be perfect! That place is fated to be yours," Zhen Yuan Zi said.

He was practically ready to pound his chest and guarantee it to Hong Yun!

"Hm? We're here already?"

"You're even faster this time!"

Zhen Yuan Zi exclaimed in surprise as the scene before them abruptly changed.

In the gray Chaos, the four of them were like a faintly red shooting star.

They streaked through the Chaos and entered the space where the Purple Cloud Palace stood.

The listeners kept shooting out of the churning Chaos Qi.

Streams of profound light, each trailing a long tail, crisscrossed around the Purple Cloud Palace.

"I didn't expect everyone to be so eager this time!"

Hong Yun withdrew the barrier that had protected them from the Chaos Qi and strolled through the void.

He watched the figures coming and going. Many of them were familiar faces!

The Purple Cloud Palace had not opened yet.

The space around it had been opened up within the Chaos, vast and empty in every direction.

Beyond this space, the Chaos Qi churned ceaselessly, held back by an invisible force emanating from the Purple Cloud Palace.

It was right there, yet the Chaos Qi couldn't encroach on the space at all.

And aside from a small palace at its very center, there was nothing in this space.

Hong Yun stood in the void and looked around carefully.

The Purple Cloud Palace hadn't opened its doors yet. No matter how early they arrived, they would have to wait here.

This Purple Cloud Palace is a bit like an atomic nucleus, and we people constantly moving around are like electrons in a vast space!

A thought suddenly came to Hong Yun.

He found it rather interesting!

Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had carved out this space within the Chaos.

It was vast, yet devoid of all things.

Only the Purple Cloud Palace stood at its very center!

There's a sense of oppression here, even if you can't see it!

The first two times Hong Yun had come, he had gone straight to the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace and gone inside without stopping.

Even when he left, he had hurried away.

Only now, while waiting for the doors to open, did he finally take the time to look around properly.

A flood of thoughts filled his mind!

Just then, a streak of golden light suddenly shot over from afar!

In an instant, it transformed into two figures who landed in front of Hong Yun, Zhen Yuan Zi, and the others.

Who else could they be but the two Di Jun brothers?

Di Jun looked delighted and said with a smile:
