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

Yuan Shi had already been a little displeased that Kun Peng was sitting alongside them!

But as for Hou Tu, they really had nothing to say.

The Three Pure Ones had been formed from the division of Pan Gu's Primordial Spirit, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches were descendants of Pan Gu's bloodline!

They were all part of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage. Who had any right to look down on whom?

Meanwhile, Zhunti took the seat Hong Yun had offered him, and the Ancestral Witches also stood down.

The tension eased in an instant.

But when Zhunti gave Hong Yun that snort, even Zhen Yuan Zi felt a little angry.

He was just about to say something when Hong Yun tugged at his sleeve.

"You offered Zhunti a way out, and he didn't appreciate it. That would be one thing, but now he's giving you attitude?"

Zhen Yuan Zi was mild-tempered, but he truly couldn't stand the way Jieyin and Zhunti behaved.

Then he looked at his Little Brother Hong Yun, who didn't seem the least bit angry.

He wore a simple, genial smile!

Zhen Yuan Zi was puzzled. You weren't the sort to take a loss and still smile at people before!

"Little Brother Hong Yun, what's gotten into you?"

Hong Yun reassured him:

"Listening to the Dao is more important!"

"We can talk about this later."

Hong Yun could keep smiling, but it wasn't because he was broad-minded and didn't hold Zhunti's actions against him.

On the contrary, Hong Yun thought he was quite petty!

He wasn't the original Hong Yun, the real good-natured pushover.

It was just that Zhunti had only just sat down on his Prayer Mat, and Kun Peng had taken his seat too. Hong Yun had seized the chance to break the stalemate.

Two voices rang out in Hong Yun's mind.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

After calming Zhen Yuan Zi, Hong Yun hurriedly checked the system notifications. Sure enough, he had received two more chances to draw.

He first checked the reward for helping Zhunti.

"For helping Zhunti out of trouble and preventing him from fighting the Ancestral Witches, you receive one draw!"

Hong Yun was puzzled. He had tossed out his Prayer Mat, and Zhunti had taken the opportunity to sit down.

Shouldn't that have given both Zhunti and Jieyin a way out?

If Zhunti had fought the Ancestral Witches, could Jieyin really have stayed seated?

Wouldn't that mean Jieyin had indirectly benefited from Hong Yun's help too?

Yet the system had only granted him one chance.

As soon as the question arose in Hong Yun's mind, the system immediately explained.

"Karma is like a web; tug on one strand, and the whole thing moves."

"Chain reactions are not included in the system's reward calculations."

Hong Yun shook his head with a rueful look.

"Tsk, tsk!"

"I thought I'd found a loophole!"

"If I help Nuwa Create Humans later, wouldn't all of humanity have a karmic connection to me? Then I could draw rewards forever!"

But rewards like that surely wouldn't be so generous.

Hong Yun put the thought aside and focused on the prizes included in Zhunti's reward:

Technique—Golden Body Dharma Appearance;

Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus opportunity;

Bodhi Tree Branch;

One hundred thousand merits;

"Would you like to begin the draw?"

Hong Yun stared at the options, stunned. Was that really all Zhunti had?

But then he let out a wry laugh.

Given his current situation, how could he look down on the other man?

He had always thought the Two Sages of the West were paupers and that the West was barren.

In truth, he, Hong Yun, was the one who was truly poor!

Aside from a Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, he had no treasures worth showing off!

And even that gourd wasn't in his hands yet!

As things stood, Hong Yun was completely empty-handed.

Take Zhen Yuan Zi, for example. At least he had the Earth Book, formed from the Earth Fetal Membrane, to protect him.

Still, that didn't mean Hong Yun was less blessed than Zhen Yuan Zi.

After all, he already possessed three of the four origins of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, the Four Symbols of Heaven Opening!

If he could obtain the origin of Earth, he would have all four.

That was also why Hong Yun and Zhen Yuan Zi had been close from the start!

The laws they cultivated complemented each other.

Hong Yun couldn't afford to be picky. He silently said:

"Begin the draw!"

The system's roulette wheel began to spin, then slowly came to a stop.

"Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus—an opportunity?"

An incomprehensible aura descended from the void and merged into Hong Yun's Primordial Spirit.

Hong Yun immediately felt as though he had gained some insight.

An indistinct guidance stirred within him, but here in the Purple Heaven Palace, chaos sealed everything off.

The feeling was like a flash of inspiration, and then it vanished!

"Another empty promise!"

"System, can't you put in a little more effort and give me something tangible?"

Hong Yun grumbled.

In truth, the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus belonged to Luohu.

Hongjun and Luohu had fought a great battle that shattered the ley lines of the West.

The Black Lotus had some karmic connection to Jieyin and Zhunti, but it had never belonged to either of them.

So receiving only an opportunity was reasonable enough!

Next, he started the draw for Kun Peng.

According to the original course of events, Kun Peng would have become enemies with Hong Yun over the seat he gave up.

But now Kun Peng had lost his seat on his own, and Hong Yun had nothing to do with it.

In fact, Hong Yun had even helped him!

He had given Kun Peng a way out, so he wouldn't end up arguing with the Two Sages of the West on the spot.

If Yuan Shi then lost control of his tongue and called him a "feathered and horned creature," Kun Peng would lose even more face!

As for getting revenge?

If Kun Peng were that stubborn, how could he have backed down and silently swallowed Jieyin and Zhunti's scheme?

"I suppose this counts as repaying evil with kindness. System, you'd better give me something worthwhile this time!"

It was as if the system had heard Hong Yun's wish.

After Hong Yun silently initiated the draw, the roulette wheel spun, then slowly came to rest over a section.
