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

Chapter 296 Luck as bait, a sage enters the game!

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat cross-legged on the cloud platform, his spirit wandering beyond the heavens, comprehending the ultimate truth of the Great Dao.

Suddenly, he sensed something and looked up toward the direction of Kyushu. In his eyes, he first saw the reflection of Yunhua and her three children, and then a baby boy with a vertical pupil between his eyebrows rapidly magnified in his eyes.

"Born in response to destiny? Why would the destiny of my Chan Sect be bestowed upon this infant? Is this the result of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, or..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's eyes flickered, and his brows furrowed slightly.

In the primordial world, the higher one's cultivation level, the more one values ​​destiny.

The reason why Yuanshi Tianzun and many powerful beings in the prehistoric world were unwilling to easily accept disciples was partly because they did not want their legacy to be buried in mediocre talents.

On the other hand, there is the concern that if disciples make mistakes, it will damage the lineage's fortune, and in serious cases, it may even lead to karmic defilement of the lineage.

Now it has been discovered that a portion of the Chan Sect's fortune has inexplicably fallen into the body of that baby boy. Even he, a saint, only became aware of it after the baby boy was born.

Even as the great calamity approaches and the primordial aura grows ever stronger, even the sages' methods of deduction will be affected.

However, this is the destiny of the Chan Sect. As the leader of the Chan Sect and a sage of the primordial world, he should not be completely unaware of it.

There are only two possibilities to make this possible.

Firstly, it is the result of the evolution of the natural order.

The Heavenly Dao believed that this baby boy carried a portion of the Chan Sect's fortune, and his birth as the Chan Sect's chosen one was beneficial to the primordial world.

Therefore, under the operation of the Heavenly Dao, this part of the Chan Sect's fortune automatically merged into the baby boy's body upon his birth, making him the child of the Chan Sect's fortune.

Secondly, it was the Dao Ancestor's scheme!
Yuanshi Tianzun is a sage, the pinnacle of power in the primordial world, and also possesses the innate treasure, the Pangu Banner, to suppress his destiny.

Even if they were both Heavenly Saints, it would be impossible for them to transfer that portion of their fortune into the infant's body without the infant's knowledge.

The exact reason is currently unknown to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Furthermore, the fact that this baby boy was born to Yunhua and carries Yang Xuan's bloodline, coupled with the timing of this event, makes him wonder if the upcoming great calamity is related to the Heavenly Court.

"Huh? Something's not right."

After examining the infant twice, Yuanshi Tianzun noticed something unusual.

"Why is this bloodline so strange? Is it because Yang Xuan's background is special, or is it because..."

His brow furrowed slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through the vast earth and landing in the netherworld.

Yunhua, Qingluan, and the others, lacking sufficient cultivation, sensed the aura belonging to Yang Xuan in the bloodline of these three infants and thus concluded that this was Yang Xuan's bloodline.

But Yuanshi Tianzun is a saint, and his cultivation and knowledge are far beyond what Yunhua and the other two can match.

When he first saw the three infants, he did indeed believe that they were the children born to Yunhua and Yang Xuan.

But after careful observation, he discovered that this was not the case, or rather, it was not just that; these three babies were by no means born naturally!
"Are these two plotting something together? But what are they plotting? The upcoming great calamity, or a battle between the two paths of heaven and earth?"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked puzzled, but no matter what, since the destiny of the Chan Sect should belong to that baby boy, they could not let that baby boy wander outside.

If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause considerable trouble for the Chan Sect and damage its fortune.

If handled properly, the chances of strengthening the Chan Sect's fortunes can be realized by using that baby boy!

Subsequently, Yuanshi Tianzun sent a telepathic message to the Heavenly Court.

Since this baby boy was born to Yunhua, and the upcoming great calamity may be related to the Heavenly Court, it would be best to have someone from the Heavenly Court take him as a disciple and bring him back to the Jade Void Palace.

Coincidentally, the Chan Sect had two disciples who served as righteous gods in the Heavenly Court, and their status was high enough that it would not be a problem for them to take Haotian, their nephew, as their disciple.

A moment later, an immortal with a peculiar head shape, completely white hair and beard, a ruddy complexion, and holding a peach wood cane flew out of the South Heavenly Gate and sped towards the Nine Provinces.

……

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader also sensed something and looked towards the direction of Kyushu.

However, his focus was different from that of the Primordial Celestial Lord. After scanning over Yunhua and her two children, he turned his gaze to another baby boy.

The baby boy's face was somewhat similar to the one that Yuanshi Tianzun had been paying attention to, but he did not have the vertical pupil between his eyebrows.

However, his appearance is distinctly different from that of ordinary human beings in one aspect: his eyes.

The baby boy's eyes were golden, filled with pure divinity, so much so that ordinary creatures dared not even look him in the eye.

Furthermore, like Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu also sensed the destiny of the Jie Sect in this baby boy.

In other words, this baby boy was born at the right time, and is essentially the chosen one of the Jie Sect. If something were to happen to this baby boy, the Jie Sect's fortune would definitely be greatly affected.

However, if this baby boy achieves success in his studies, the fortune of the Jie Sect will also increase accordingly.

Compared to the Chan Sect, the situation of the Jie Sect is not optimistic.

Seeking a glimmer of hope for all living beings in the primordial world is the doctrine of the Jie Sect and the path pursued by the Tongtian Sect Leader. It is impossible for him to think that there is anything wrong with the Jie Sect accepting many disciples.

However, it is undeniable that as the number of disciples of the Jie Sect gradually increased, and as more and more disciples such as Lingya Xian emerged, the karma borne by the Jie Sect also gradually increased.

Even with the sage Tongtian Jiaozhu suppressing the fortune, they still felt considerable pressure.

Over the years, he has often traveled to the heavens and entered and exited the chaos, all in order to find the Chaos Bell, a supreme innate treasure, and to use it to suppress the fortune of the Jie Sect.

Unfortunately, there are no concepts of time, space, or cause and effect in chaos, so deduction methods are completely useless in chaos.

As a result, the Tongtian Sect Leader has been unable to find the Chaos Bell to this day and can only rely on his own cultivation to suppress the destiny of the Jie Sect.

Although a sage's cultivation is unfathomable, in terms of suppressing destiny, he cannot even compare with some innate spiritual treasures, let alone innate supreme treasures.

Over the years, the Tongtian Sect Leader had begun to sense that the fortunes of the Jie Sect were unstable.

Now that another chosen one has appeared, it has given him a huge headache.

As both being sages, what Yuanshi Tianzun could see, Tongtian Jiaozhu could also see.

He also knew that there was something wrong with this baby boy, and it was very likely a scheme by the two people from Zixiao Palace and the Underworld. It might even involve the conflict between the two paths of Heaven and Earth, and the upcoming great calamity.

If this baby boy is brought back to Biyou Palace, it would be tantamount to voluntarily entering into a situation, and in the future, he would probably be somewhat powerless to control certain matters.

If they hadn't seen the baby boy and left him outside, and he were to die unexpectedly, the fortune of the Jie Sect would certainly have been affected. And this would still be considered a relatively good situation.

If certain individuals discover the baby boy's special characteristics and plot against him to commit heinous crimes, the fate of the Jie Sect will be greatly affected.

"Ugh……"

The Tongtian Sect Leader sighed helplessly. He had no other choice but to bring the baby boy back no matter what.

Putting aside the schemes involving this baby boy, taking him back to Biyou Palace would be a good option.

After all, many disciples of the Jie Sect have now ascended to heaven to become righteous gods or descended to earth to become ghosts and gods, and Bixiao and others have a good relationship with Yang Xuan.

This baby boy also has a special relationship with Yang Xuan. Taking him into the Jie Sect can further strengthen the connection between the Jie Sect and the Heavenly Court and the Underworld. "In this light, this can be considered a good thing."

Since he had no other choice, the Tongtian Cult Leader could only console himself with one sentence.

Subsequently, the Tongtian Sect Leader sent a telepathic message, instructing the Golden Spirit Mother to go to the Nine Provinces and bring the infant back.

He specifically instructed the Golden Spirit Mother not to be disrespectful in the Nine Provinces because of her status as a direct disciple of the Intercepting Sect.

If Fairy Yunhua does not want the baby boy to join the Jie Sect, she should reason with her properly and not use her power to oppress her.

……

Beyond the heavens, at the Palace of Nuwa.

Almost at the same time, Nuwa also sensed something, turned her head to look in the direction of Kyushu, and saw the three infants beside Fairy Yunhua. She suddenly realized what was happening.

She was aware of the affairs of Kyushu and knew about Fairy Yunhua's pregnancy.

However, due to the obstruction of heavenly secrets at the time, she was unsure of the deeper meaning behind Yunhua's pregnancy.

Only now, after these three infants have been born and she has seen the aura emanating from them, has Nuwa come to understand some things and realized the purpose behind what those two had done.

What Nuwa couldn't understand was that she could only guess why the two of them were doing this, but she couldn't figure out why they were doing it in the first place.

Once the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect are forced into the fray, the prehistoric world will inevitably become even more chaotic.

"perhaps……"

"They just want to muddy the waters even more so that they can make plans for the next great eon."

Nuwa's eyes flickered, and she began to have some guesses.

She then looked at the baby girl, her expression hesitant.

The baby girl's appearance was also extraordinary. There was a golden divine mark between her eyebrows, like a divine lotus blooming in the fire, giving people a sacred and holy feeling.

The Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable saw the destiny of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect in the two baby boys, and she also saw destiny related to the baby girl in the baby girl.

However, Nuwa did not establish a religion, and the fortune of this baby girl was different from that of the other two baby boys.

Strictly speaking, this fortune did not have a direct impact on Nuwa. Even if the baby girl died and this fortune was affected, it would not have caused Nuwa any loss.

However, like Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa also found it difficult to turn a blind eye.

Because the fortune of this baby girl comes from the demon race!
Before becoming a saint, Nuwa was the Queen of the Demon Clan, and she still had an unresolved karmic connection with the Demon Clan.

If Nuwa accepts this baby girl and protects this part of the demon race's fortune, she can settle her karmic debt with the demon race.

But if she chooses to do that, she will be forced into the game just like Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun.

"I have no major sects to rely on. If you piss me off, I'll take my disciples and mounts and run off to Chaos. Do you think I'll let you make things difficult for me?"

"Anyway, the human race has the senior brother to look after them, so I don't need to worry about it!"

Nuwa chuckled softly, having made her decision. She sent a telepathic message to Jin Feng, instructing her to travel to the Nine Provinces.

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, more than a hundred years had passed.

On this day, a blue divine bird passed through the Nine Heavens Gale Layer and arrived outside the South Heavenly Gate.

Given the Heavenly Court's current influence in the prehistoric world, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have to descend with their escape light upon arriving at the Southern Heavenly Gate; otherwise, they would be considered disrespectful to the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods could launch an attack against them.

However, when the guardian deity of the South Heavenly Gate saw the blue divine bird, he did not stop it. Instead, he bowed and let it pass.

This is because the blue divine bird is the dual mount of Yang Xuan and the Queen Mother, and is also an important figure in the Heavenly Court, able to freely enter and leave the Heavenly Court.

Normally, when Qingluan returns to the Heavenly Court, she always seems to be taking her time.

But today, instead of eating spiritual fruits as usual while flying into the Heavenly Court, Qingluan appeared quite anxious.

This puzzled the immortals and gods inside and outside the South Heavenly Gate, and even made them feel uneasy.

Over the years, Qingluan had always been by Yang Xuan's side. Now that Qingluan was in this state, they couldn't help but wonder if Yang Xuan had encountered some trouble.

Yang Xuan is now the pillar of the Heavenly Court and the backbone of all the immortals and gods.

Anyone in the Heavenly Court can get into trouble, but Yang Xuan is the only exception!

If anyone causes trouble for Yang Xuan, then they are making an enemy of all the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court!
All of a sudden.

A chilling atmosphere permeated both inside and outside the South Heavenly Gate, and this atmosphere was spreading throughout the Heavenly Court at a visible speed.

In particular, the righteous gods of the Ministry of War of the Heavenly Court have spontaneously gathered together, waiting only for the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's order to point Yang Xuan's sword at the primordial world.

Even if their opponent is a quasi-saint, they will not hesitate at all!

Qingluan had no idea that her anxious appearance would cause such a commotion. At this moment, she had already arrived outside the main hall of the Temple of Fate.

This main hall is said to be the ancestral home of Yang Xuan, whose incense and golden statue have been kept there for many years.

Even though his incense statue is in seclusion, it will respond whenever someone asks for instructions.

However, Qingluan called Yang Xuan's name three times outside the palace, but received no response.

"Is it that the Emperor does not wish to see me, or..."

Qingluan stood outside the main hall, a look of worry on her face.

"Or has something happened to the Emperor?"

Thinking of this, Qingluan dared not delay any longer and hurriedly used her escape light to arrive at the Lingxiao Palace.

This time, unlike her visit to the Temple of Fate, she did not arrive empty-handed and successfully met Haotian and the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Qingluan looked anxious and dared not hide anything, so she quickly and concisely recounted what had happened in the Nine Provinces.

Upon hearing this, Haotian and the Queen Mother's expressions changed drastically.

As early as when Fairy Yunhua descended to the mortal realm, the Queen Mother had already made a prediction and discovered that Yunhua's descent was a good thing for both Yunhua herself and the Heavenly Court.

After returning from Zixiao Palace, Haotian also deduced the same result.

But this unexpected turn of events is completely different from their deductions.

Haotian frowned, simultaneously mobilizing his Heavenly Emperor authority and Quasi-Saint cultivation to conduct another deduction.

But in that very next moment, his expression turned even more grim...
