Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, Starting With a Saint Position to Exchange for a Wife Section 8

Hong Yun looked closely and was overjoyed!

"The Profound Origin Water Control Banner!"

"Haha!"

"Finally got something tangible, and it's an Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

At that very moment.

In the Primordial Wilderness, a hidden place within the North Sea.

Beneath ten thousand fathoms of seawater, a small barrier sat.

A pitch-black banner stood at the center of the barrier!

Endless essence of seawater was drawn to the banner on its own, like azure smoke.

It filtered through the barrier and converged toward the banner.

Refined by the Profound Origin Water Control Banner into Primordial Heavy Water, stored within the artifact's space!

Suddenly, it trembled slightly!

As if pulled by some force.

It rose from the ground and vanished into the void.

The next moment, it appeared within Hong Yun's Primordial Spirit!

Originally, the Profound Origin Water Control Banner wasn't due to emerge yet.

It had been quietly nurturing here, waiting for the right time.

When that time came, Kun Peng would stumble into this place by chance and obtain the Profound Origin Water Control Banner.

But now, Hong Yun had drawn the Profound Origin Water Control Banner and, with the system's power, claimed one of the Innate Five Directions Banners ahead of schedule!

From now on, Kun Peng would have no connection to this treasure.

Hong Yun's Primordial Spirit energy touched the Profound Origin Water Control Banner, sensing the Water Law within this Innate Spiritual Treasure and the accumulated Water Origin.

He couldn't help but grin with joy!

Kun Peng's innate Power of Law was wind and water.

Thus, he could transform into a Kun in water and a Peng in the nine heavens.

This Water Law perfectly matched the Profound Origin Water Control Banner!

And Hong Yun was born with the power of the three laws: water, fire, and wind.

He also possessed the Water Law, so obtaining the Profound Origin Water Control Banner would greatly benefit him!

These Innate Deities, at this time, had no perfected path of cultivation.

Their cultivation relied on their comprehension and control of the Power of Law!

And the amount of magical power they had accumulated.

He was about to deeply contemplate the Water Law within the Profound Origin Water Control Banner and refine its origin.

But suddenly, he felt a nudge.

He opened his eyes.

Turning his head, he saw Xuanming!

Hong Yun looked puzzled.

On Xuanming's cold face, her slender brows lifted slightly.

Her eyes fixed on Hong Yun.

A divine thought transmitted:

"Why are you still standing here grinning like a fool?"

"Those Two from the West aren't good people. Why did you give him the Prayer Mat?"

Hong Yun replied:

"We're here to listen to the Dao, not to cause trouble!"

Xuanming's eyes flickered.

"Then after the lecture, how about..."

Before she could finish, Hong Yun cut her off.

"No!"

At the same time, he was sweating inwardly!

"I haven't even said what it is, and you're already saying no?"

"No need to say it, I know!"

Hong Yun gave Xuanming a helpless look.

His heart muttered, Miss, your words don't match your cold, aloof appearance at all!

Here was a serene-looking Innate Goddess, yet all her mind dwelled on was fighting and killing?

Couldn't she learn a thing or two from her sister, Hou Tu?

"In this Primordial World, anyone who loves to fight and bully others with their strength—how many of them last long?"

"As strong as Demon Ancestor Luohu, as strong as the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes—all great cultivators at the Great Luo Realm—aren't they all fallen now?"

Xuanming still refused to yield.

"That's just because they weren't skilled enough!"

Hong Yun could only shake his head.

He knew that these Ancestral Shamans, tempering their bodies with Sha Qi, would naturally have their natures affected.

It wasn't something he could talk them out of in a few words.

He sighed inwardly:

"To survive in the Primordial World, unless you're a destined protagonist like the Three Pure Ones, you have to rely on two things."

"First, brains!"

"Second, lying low!"

The second point was especially important.

Take Zhen Yuan Zi, Ming He, and Kun Peng for example. Though their paths were full of twists and turns, they all ended up living steadily.

Zhen Yuan Zi had the Earth Book, and when trouble came, he'd just unfold the Earth Book Barrier!

Go ahead and attack—if you can break through the Earth Fetal Membrane, you'd shake the entire Primordial World itself!

In the end, he earned the title Ancestor of Earth Immortals.

Ming He, on the other hand, lived by the rule: as long as the Blood Sea doesn't dry up, Ming He won't die!

If he couldn't win, he'd turn into a Blood God Son and flee back to the Blood Sea.

That place bore the filth and blood of the Primordial World—who would dare to truly dry it up?

In the end, he took control of the Asura Path and became the Old Ancestor of the Asura Clan.

The most striking example was Kun Peng.

Back in Purple Cloud Palace, when seats were being offered, Jieyin and Zhun Ti stole his seat, and the Three Pure Ones humiliated him.

Why, then, did he only fixate on settling the karmic debt with Hong Yun?

Wasn't it because he knew that trying to settle a debt with a Saint would just end with the Saint settling him?

Later, when the Witch-Demon War turned sour, he fled straight back to the North Sea.

He hid inside the Sea Eye, and no matter what, he wouldn't come out!

In the end, he didn't achieve Sainthood, but at least he lived well, didn't he?

That was the true king of the "lying low" path!

Hong Yun thought of all this and nodded slightly.

"From now on, I need to learn more from their strengths."

"Even with a system, I can't be arrogant."

"I still have to lie low."

Just as he was thinking, the doors of Purple Cloud Palace suddenly creaked shut.

Hong Yun was startled.

He looked up and saw a gaunt, gray-robed Daoist appear on the high platform.
