Summary

Hong Yun decides to choose Hou Tu as his Dao Companion after realizing that preserving his relationship with her may allow him to gain all the benefits associated with the system’s earlier opportunity. He reasons that Hou Tu is destined to become a Saint, giving him powerful backing in the Primordial Wilderness and potentially helping him avoid the danger of Kun Peng. He also dismisses concerns about losing status, joking that he is perfectly willing to rely on Hou Tu.
After Hong Yun tells the Great Dao Karma System that he chooses Hou Tu, the system merely confirms his selection and disappears. Although Hong Yun is unsure how the arrangement will take effect, he soon notices signs that the system is influencing Hou Tu. Xuanming teases Hou Tu by suggesting that Hong Yun may be interested in her. Hou Tu denies it, claiming he only gave up his seat because he calculated that she could make better use of the opportunity. Nevertheless, she begins wondering why Hong Yun chose her specifically.
Hong Yun and Hou Tu exchange glances, and Hong Yun gives her a warm smile. Hou Tu becomes visibly flustered, turning away with her face and ears flushed red. Hong Yun interprets her reaction as evidence that the system is working and becomes confident that their relationship will develop naturally. He is delighted that he has both avoided an immediate crisis and gained a future Saint as a potential partner.
The mood changes when Jieyin and Zhun Ti enter Purple Cloud Palace. They notice that the six front prayer mats possess a special quality unlike the ordinary seats farther back. Realizing that the front seats must contain a great opportunity, Zhun Ti begins loudly lamenting that he and Jieyin traveled from the West only to arrive too late and find no places available. Their performance is clearly intended to pressure someone into surrendering a seat.
Hou Tu begins to understand why Hong Yun gave his seat to her: Jieyin and Zhun Ti appear unwilling to challenge the Three Pure Ones or Nu Wa, so they target those they perceive as weaker—Kun Peng and Hou Tu. Hong Yun internally mocks the two Western cultivators, arguing that everyone had three thousand years to prepare and that their lateness is their own fault. He is especially suspicious of their claim that they cannot listen to Hongjun’s sermon without a special seat, believing they are actually trying to seize the opportunity associated with the prayer mats.

• Strategic relationships and survival: Hong Yun treats marriage and alliances as essential means of preserving both personal safety and future power.
