People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chapter 171: Taught personally by Houtu, the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong!
The underworld.

The place of underground reincarnation.

After Haotian and Queen Mother left, Hou Tu's eyes revealed a bright color. She smiled at Yang Xuan and said:
"You proposed the plan to build the underworld this time, which solved the biggest problem of the underworld. Haotian and Queen Mother gave you these spiritual objects. I am a saint, so there is no reason for me to be stingy."

"Although the Wu clan suffered heavy losses during the witch-lich catastrophe, with only one in ten surviving, the Wu clan is still the protagonist of the world who has ruled over countless epochs in the prehistoric land."

"Now we have a rich foundation. If you need anything, just ask the Wu Clan for it. If they don't give it to you, just call my name and I will make them cooperate!"

Yang Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard this. Building the underworld is of great significance to the Netherworld, and the Witch Clan can also get rid of their current miserable situation.

Then it is only reasonable for the witch clan to provide the materials needed to build the underworld.

But the problem is that Hou Tu did not say that the materials for building the underworld should be provided by the Wu clan, but rather said, "If you need anything, just go to the Wu clan."

The implication of this sentence is obvious. It is clearly telling Yang Xuan that no matter what he needs, he can ask the Witch Clan for it.

If the witch clan refuses to give it, then they will ask her, the former ancestor witch, to give it to them!

With Hou Tu's words, as long as Yang Xuan was thick-skinned enough, the Witch Clan would become his private treasure house that he could take at will.

Just as Hou Tu said, although the Witch Clan is in decline, it still has a deep foundation and is not inferior to the Dragon Clan.

Originally, Yang Xuan thought that it would take a lot of time, at least dozens of epochs, to refine the 3,000 beads of the Tianyan Abacus.

Now he can call upon the resources of the Heavenly Palace's treasury at will, and ask the Witch Clan for spiritual objects, which saves Yang Xuan a lot of time in collecting materials.

Of course, this mainly relies on the Witch Clan. The small amounts of treasure in the Heavenly Palace's treasury can only provide limited help, at least at this stage.

Naturally, Yang Xuan could not refuse such a benefit. However, he always did things in moderation. Even if Hou Tu gave him the power, he would not go too far.

Apart from taking the deserved reward, the most he could do was to take this opportunity to find out which spiritual objects the Wu Clan had that he needed, so that he could take his time to get them in the future, so as not to be impolite and cause dissatisfaction to Hou Tu.

Just as Yang Xuan was about to bow and thank Hou Tu for her gift, he saw Hou Tu wave her hand and said again:
"Your roots are peculiar, and your skills are mysterious and extremely compatible with you. However, there is a drawback. Although your roots are extraordinary, they are not effectively utilized, and your body can only be considered average."

"Your current body, apart from having a slightly higher defense and being able to withstand the Daluo magic power, has nothing to commend it. It's such a waste."

"If we can develop the roots more comprehensively, the chance and quality of condensing the top flower will be higher in the future."

"The Nine Revolutions of the Wu Clan originates from the Father God's true body. It is the most advanced body-refining technique in the prehistoric world."

"Even the Xuanmen's Eight or Nine Mysterious Arts were derived from this by the Heavenly Dao Saint. Since you have done a favor for the Wu Clan, I will pass this method on to you."

"As for how much you can comprehend and how high you can reach, it all depends on your luck."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuan was overjoyed. Without any pretense or excuses, he nodded hastily to show that he understood.

When Yuan Hong was captured, he was not killed in order to serve as an example to others.

On the one hand, the reason is that Yuan Hong is one of the few creatures in the prehistoric world who has mastered the Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts.

The Eight-Nine Profound Art is the secret of the Xuanmen. Looking at the entire prehistoric world, apart from the Orthodox, Demonic and Human religions, it is estimated that only the Western religion has this art (before the establishment of Buddhism, the Western religion's art also originated from the Taoist master, who was also considered a member of the Xuanmen).

No matter where Yuan Hong's Eight-Nine Profound Arts came from, it showed that he was of great importance, and killing him would likely bring trouble to oneself.

Another reason is because of this Eight Nine Mysterious Skills.

At the beginning, Yang Xuan defeated him with legitimate means and suppressed him in the world in his sleeve, but he did not do anything to bully the weak or use his power to oppress others.

If the person behind Yuan Hong wants to redeem him, Yang Xuan can try to ask for the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

Yang Xuan's roots are a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Even if he has not practiced any body-refining techniques, his physical defense is terrifyingly strong.

When he was still a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, he could use his Golden Immortal cultivation to withstand the attacks of four Daluo Golden Immortals and remain alive.

Now that his roots have been upgraded to the highest grade innate spiritual treasure, even a Golden Immortal like Shan Jun would have a hard time breaking through his defense.

With his current foundation, if he were to practice a top-level physical training technique, his body would definitely become incredibly strong. The Eight-Nine Profound Art would obviously be a good choice.

Now there is no need to go through so much trouble. He doesn't know which one is stronger, the Xuanmen's Eight-Nine Profound Art or the Wu Clan's Nine-Transformation Yuan Art.

But what is certain is that the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is definitely the most advanced body-building technique in the prehistoric world.

If he could practice this technique and unleash the full potential of his own roots, his body would become incredibly strong. He would be invincible in the Taiyi realm with his physical body alone, and could even fight against Daluo with his physical body!
There was no reason for Yang Xuan to refuse such a benefit that was delivered to his door. He immediately bowed and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, Madam!"

"Just watch!" Houtu nodded but said nothing.

The saints have profound ways and mysterious methods. The truly profound preaching does not rely on words!
Behind Hou Tu, there seemed to appear a noble image that connected the sky and the earth and penetrated the entire underworld.

The Dharma image has a human body and a snake tail, seven hands behind the back, two hands in front of the chest, and both hands holding Teng Snake. It is the true form of Hou Tu, the ancestor witch!

On the body of this Dharmakāya, there are 365 acupoints that release brilliant starlight, like 365 complete worlds, containing terrifying energy and blood power.

What’s even more mysterious is that these acupoints contain many great principles that are integrated into the qi and blood throughout the body.

It is for this reason that every move of the Wu clan is equivalent to a kind of supernatural power and is accompanied by the corresponding great way.

The Wu clan just lacks the primordial spirit, it doesn’t mean they don’t practice the great way!

Their application of the Great Dao is not as mysterious as that of the Xuanmen, but it is more direct and more brutal.

In the words of later generations, the magical powers of the witch clan do not have too many special effects, but they are real punches to the flesh, and every blow is a critical hit!
This was a rare opportunity, Yang Xuan did not dare to delay, and hurriedly took out a piece of green tea leaves and put it in his mouth. Soon he fell into a state of enlightenment, and the acupoints on his body gradually began to flash with starlight.

Seeing this, Hou Tu nodded with satisfaction.

“Although there is external help, this kind of understanding is rare in the prehistoric world. Daluo is not a problem, and Quasi-Saint also has hope. As for Sub-Saint…”

Hou Tu looked at the gradually increasing starlight on Yang Xuan's body, her eyes flickering, and no one knew what she was thinking.

As time went by, Yang Xuan's understanding of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong became deeper and deeper, and the number of acupoints that released brilliant starlight increased.

But soon after the ninety-ninth acupoint lit up with starlight, Yang Xuan opened his eyes, ending his state of enlightenment, with a hint of loss on his face.

He is now basically certain that the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is more advanced than the Eight-Nine Profound Art. Not only can it integrate the great Dao that one has comprehended with the physical body, this technique can also be practiced all the way to the level of a Quasi-Saint!

But it is precisely because of this that this technique is too advanced to even be explained in words.

Even though Yang Xuan himself had a good understanding, and with the help of the enlightenment tea, he still couldn't master it all.

Hou Tu saw Yang Xuan's disappointment and knew the reason. She smiled and asked:

"How much did you understand?"

After all, the Nine Revolutions Profound Art is the witch clan's secret, and even a Daluo Jinxian cannot master it in one go.

"Only about 67%..."

Yang Xuan shook his head, pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a bitter smile.

However, Hou Tu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this, and was greatly surprised.

When she saw that ninety-nine acupoints of Yang Xuan were lighting up with starlight, she thought that he had comprehended about 40% of the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong.

But even if it is only 40%, this level of understanding is not comparable to that of ordinary Daluo.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xuan had only cultivated to this level, but he had not merely mastered the cultivation methods of the ninety-nine acupoints, but had comprehended a full 679% of the Zhuan Yuan Gong.

Just by taking a glance, he was able to comprehend to this extent. This level of understanding is truly terrifying.

Even the saint disciples at the same level cannot compare with him.

"He has a high level of understanding, great fortune, and a good brain. We must find a way to keep such a talent in the Netherworld!"

Hou Tu nodded secretly and decided to give Yang Xuan a little more help.

As for how much he can comprehend and to what level he can reach, it depends on Yang Xuan's own ability. Hou Tu was obviously just talking casually.

Since she knew that the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong was so mysterious that even a Daluo Jinxian couldn't learn it in one glance, how could she possibly make things difficult for Yang Xuan about it?
If he really did that, how could he improve his favorability? How could he keep Yang Xuan in the netherworld?

How could she, a saint, make such a mistake?

"Sixty-seven percent, not bad! I thought you could only comprehend fifty percent at most, but I didn't expect your comprehension to be so amazing!"

"As for the remaining 33%..."

"Just stretch out your hand!"
