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

Chapter 297 The Antarctic Immortal enters the Nine Provinces, intending to recruit Yang Jian into the Chan Sect! (12)

In the Lingxiao Palace.

"A sage's scheme?!"

After some deduction, Haotian suddenly showed a look of horror.

Although the great calamity is approaching and the prehistoric world is filled with calamity energy, Haotian still holds the position of Heavenly Emperor and is a Quasi-Saint with two corpses.

Furthermore, given that this has already happened and Yunhua is his sister, it shouldn't be too difficult to deduce some key information.

When he first learned that Yunhua had descended to the mortal realm, he was still thinking that, given Yunhua's status, the life-saving spiritual treasure she possessed, and the protection of two Great Luo Golden Immortals, Qingluan and Zhu Jiu, she would be a formidable figure.

Unless a saint intervenes, even if one encounters a quasi-saint, self-preservation is not a problem at all.

Unexpectedly, there really were sages plotting against Fairy Yunhua, and not just one!
The three of them, Qingluan and his companions, had limited knowledge and skills. They could only see that the three infants possessed extraordinary fortune, but they did not know their origins.

Haotian immediately recognized that these three streams of fortune originated from the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and the Demon Clan, respectively, and were closely related to the three saints: Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Nuwa.

This means that the matter of Yunhua sending down three sons is inextricably linked to these three sages, and this is also the result deduced by Haotian.

As for other matters, and why these three sages did so, their understanding is insufficient given their level of attainment and status.

However, despite his confusion, once he learned that the three infants were indeed of Yunhua Fairy's bloodline and even related to Yang Xuan, Haotian could not sit idly by.

At the very least, we should bring him back to Heaven first!

Haotian's eyes flashed with divine light as he looked down from the sky and landed in the Nine Provinces, where he saw the small courtyard where Fairy Yunhua lived.

But before he could lower the projection, a strangely shaped figure pushed open the door and entered, arriving in front of Fairy Yunhua.

This man had a large head and a prominent forehead, with white hair and beard, and a ruddy complexion. He held a peach wood cane and was none other than the Antarctic Immortal, a disciple of the Chan Sect, who had now reached the Great Luo Perfection cultivation level.

He was also the God of Longevity in Heaven, holding the rank of Third Grade.

After meeting the Antarctic Immortal, Fairy Yunhua bowed to him.

"Greetings, God of Longevity. May I ask what brings the Heavenly Venerable to my courtyard?"

From any perspective, Fairy Yunhua's manners were impeccable and flawless.

However, the Old Man of the South Pole frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure, and corrected him:

"I am the Immortal of the South Pole, and the chief disciple of the Chan Sect!"

Clearly, his dissatisfaction stemmed from the title "birthday star".

As I said before, how can the mere Heavenly Court compare to the Chan Sect?

If Haotian had agreed to the Antarctic Immortal and Taiyi Zhenren's plan to become First-Rank Emperors, they might have paid more attention to the Heavenly Court.

However, since he was only a third-rank Heavenly Venerable, and it was bestowed upon him by Yang Xuanshe, they naturally wouldn't agree with him at all, nor would they like others to call him the God of Longevity Heavenly Venerable.

They could even be described as disgusted. If they weren't plotting to accumulate merit for the Heavenly Court, they would never have stayed in the Heavenly Court!

After correcting her, the Antarctic Immortal did not delve further into the matter with Fairy Yunhua, but instead bowed in the direction of East Kunlun, his expression becoming serious.

"Some time ago, Master noticed a change in the fortunes of the Chan Sect and discovered that your second son..."

The Antarctic Immortal paused slightly, calculated for a moment with his fingers, and then knew about the matter concerning Yunhua's second son. He continued:

"Master has discovered that your second son, Yang Jian, has an affinity with the Chan Sect. I have come here on Master's orders to take him as my disciple. Quickly, summon Yang Jian here!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yunhua was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that the Antarctic Immortal had come here so that he could take Yang Jian as his disciple.

The requirements for accepting disciples in the Chan Sect are exceptionally high. If an ordinary being were fortunate enough to become a disciple of the Chan Sect, especially if it was personally named by the sage Yuanshi Tianzun, they would be overjoyed and would agree immediately without any hesitation.

However, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Fairy Yunhua hesitated.

If it were any other disciples of the Chan Sect who came today, she might have given it a second thought, but the Antarctic Immortal...

Because Yang Xuan has been planning major events for the Heavenly Court and the Underworld in recent years, he is unaware of some minor conflicts within the Heavenly Court.

However, when Fairy Yunhua was in Heaven, she liked to listen to gossip and knew that the Antarctic Immortal and the Taiyi Immortal were dissatisfied with Yang Xuan in various ways.

If they weren't disciples of the Chan Sect, they would have been expelled from Heaven long ago.

Now that the Antarctic Immortal wants to take Yang Jian as his disciple, even without other reasons, Fairy Yunhua would not agree.

Moreover, Yang Jian also carries Yang Xuan's bloodline, which may be a means for others to scheme against Yang Xuan.

The arrival of the Antarctic Immortal at this critical juncture, with his proposal to take Yang Jian as his disciple, made her suspect that the person behind this might be the Antarctic Immortal.

The Antarctic Immortal is the chief disciple of the Chan Sect. What other Grand Luo Golden Immortals cannot do, the Antarctic Immortal may not be unable to do!

Without much hesitation, Fairy Yunhua immediately shook her head and asked in return:

"You can ask your brother for his opinion on this matter. Yang Jian is the Heavenly Emperor's nephew, and I cannot make the decision on his own about who he should take as his master."

"You mean, I've come here on my master's orders to take Yang Jian as my disciple, and I still need to ask Haotian's opinion?"

An unnamed rage rose in the heart of the Antarctic Immortal, and he even forgot to add the respectful title to Haotian.

Back when he and Taiyi Zhenren had just ascended to heaven, Haotian disregarded the decree of Yuanshi Tianzun and refused to bestow upon them the title of First-Rank Emperor.

Later, they sought Yang Xuan's pardon to confer divine titles, but were met with all sorts of difficulties. It took tens of thousands of years before the conferment was finally completed.

Now, he wants to take Yang Jian as his disciple, and he has come here on the orders of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

He had originally thought that by taking Yang Xuan's bloodline as his disciple, he could finally get his revenge.

To his surprise, Yunhua dared to refuse, which infuriated him. Did they really think he was made of clay? That he deserved to be manipulated by the Heavenly Court?!
However, he was, after all, a virtuous member of the Chan Sect. Although he was furious, he did not dwell on the matter with Fairy Yunhua.

His gaze swept across the courtyard, and then his figure flickered slightly before he appeared in front of a little boy.

Although the three children born to Fairy Yunhua were all born with great fortune and extraordinary backgrounds, their growth cycle was far beyond that of humans.

But over the years, he has grown into a seven or eight-year-old child, and the vertical pupil between his eyebrows looks more and more extraordinary, and his face looks more and more like Yang Xuan.

However, Yang Xuan always maintained a calm demeanor, giving people the feeling that he was confident and had everything under control.

Golden light shimmered in Yang Jian's vertical pupils, making him appear sacred and majestic, as if a true god had descended to earth.

"Truly worthy of being the chosen one of our Chan Sect, he is truly extraordinary!"

The Old Man of the South Pole nodded in satisfaction. Originally, he had no hope for Yang Jian's aptitude. It was only because of the order from the Primordial Celestial Lord, and because Yang Jian possessed the bloodline of Yang Xuan, that he accepted Yang Jian as his disciple.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jian's background was so extraordinary that it was comparable to that of a primordial deity!
If properly trained, perhaps Ronaldo will have a bright future!
The old man's expression softened somewhat. Looking at the child before him, he smiled and asked:

"I am the Immortal of the South Pole, the chief disciple of the Chan Sect, and I have now reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Would you be willing to become my disciple and join my Chan Sect?"

However, Yang Jian's answer once again surprised him.

Yang Jian shook his head decisively without even thinking.

“My mother said that when we grow up, she will ask the Emperor to accept us as his disciples and let us become his first disciples. So I cannot become your disciple!”

A serious expression appeared on Yang Jian's young face, and when he mentioned the words "Emperor," his three eyes showed obvious admiration.

At the same time, it's not hard to tell from the word "Emperor" that Fairy Yunhua is hiding their bloodline.

However, the Old Man of the South Pole didn't care about any of this. After hearing Yang Jian's words, his expression, which had just calmed down, turned ugly again.

"The Emperor? It's Yang Xuan again!"

"How can a mere second-rank Heavenly Emperor compare to my Chan Sect?"

"I will not hold a grudge against a child like you because you are young. Once you join the Chan Sect and receive my supernatural powers, you will know how ridiculous this idea is!"

The Antarctic Immortal, enraged, laughed instead, unwilling to utter another word. He immediately waved his sleeve, intending to forcibly take Yang Jian away.

The Chan Sect is not like the rabble of the Jie Sect. When the Chan Sect wants to accept disciples, no one can refuse, and no one dares to refuse!
But at that moment, Fairy Yunhua stood in front of Yang Jian, interrupting the Antarctic Immortal's supernatural powers.

"Master, your actions are far too unreasonable. My son doesn't want to become your disciple, are you trying to force him?"

"Yang Jian is the Heavenly Emperor's nephew. Even if you want to take Yang Jian as your disciple, you should at least tell my brother. What you're doing is showing a complete disregard for the Heavenly Court!"

However, the Old Man of the South Pole had already decided not to say anything more to Fairy Yunhua.

Today, regardless of whether Yang Jian is willing or not, or whether Fairy Yunhua agrees or not, even if Haotian comes, Yang Jian will have to go with him!
"Yang Jian is destined to join my Chan Sect. This matter is an order from our Master. Do you still intend to disobey the decree of the Sage?!"

Having said that, the Antarctic Immortal no longer concealed his aura, and a terrifying pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on Fairy Yunhua, rendering her unable to move.

at the same time.

In the Lingxiao Palace.

Upon seeing this, Haotian could no longer suppress his anger and smashed the table with a single blow.

"Old Man of the South Pole, what a magnificent sight you are!"

"When you ascended to heaven, you shouldn't have asked for the position of a first-rank emperor. You should have let me give you this position!"

Haotian showed no kindness whatsoever. He immediately sent down a projection in front of Fairy Yunhua and slapped the Antarctic Immortal away.

"Do you think I'm dead? How dare you bully my sister and nephew! Even if I beat you to death today, no one can say anything about it!"

But before he could say anything more, time seemed to freeze around them, and a middle-aged Taoist priest with a serious face appeared out of thin air in the small courtyard.

This person is none other than the leader of the Chan Sect—Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun!
He first glanced at the Antarctic Immortal, his brows furrowing slightly, clearly not expecting the Antarctic Immortal to make such an unwise move.

In his memory, the Antarctic Immortal was not like this.

As for the reason, he already knew the answer the moment he saw the Antarctic Immortal.

"When calamity enters the spiritual platform, one is destined to face a tribulation..."

Although he knew that the Old Man of the South Pole's actions were inappropriate, given his personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to apologize.

After a moment of silence, Yuanshi Tianzun turned to look at Haotian and said calmly:

"This child possesses the destiny of my Chan Sect and should be accepted as a disciple of my Chan Sect. This matter cannot be changed!"

"If Junior Brother Haotian has any requests, please feel free to make them!"

Although his words were meant to be a discussion, they sounded more like an order, leaving Haotian no room for negotiation whatsoever.

It's a clear message to Haotian: regardless of whether you agree or not, Yang Jian is going to join the Chan Sect. If you're unhappy about it, then make your demands.

Haotian also knew what the Chan Sect's fortune on Yang Jian meant, and knew that the Chan Sect would not let Yang Jian wander outside. Therefore, he did not stop him immediately after seeing the Antarctic Immortal arrive.

However, after being disgusted by the Antarctic Immortal, he naturally did not want Yang Jian to join the Chan Sect, let alone allow Yang Jian to become the Antarctic Immortal's disciple.

Otherwise, where would he put his face? How would he explain himself to Yang Xuan when Yang Xuan returned from Zixiao Palace?
But with Yuanshi Tianzun's attitude so firm, what could he do even if he was unwilling? Yuanshi Tianzun was a sage; what right did he have to object?
This matter concerns the fate of the Chan Sect. No matter how unwilling Haotian is, even if he makes a scene at Zixiao Palace, he cannot change the fact that Yang Jian has joined the Chan Sect.

"Since you've said so, how can I refuse?"

Haotian gave a self-deprecating laugh. Although he still addressed him as "senior brother," a clear sense of distance could be heard in his voice.

"However, Yang Jian is Yunhua's son, my nephew, and a member of my Heavenly Court. I have no problem having him preach the sect, but I have two requests."

"Junior brother, just speak your mind. As long as it's not too outrageous, I won't refuse."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, his expression unchanged, as if he had not noticed the distance in Haotian's words.

Haotian didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to stating his requirements.

"Firstly, Yang Jian can join the Chan Sect, but he must decide for himself which master to take as his teacher; the likes of the Antarctic Immortal are absolutely out of the question."

"If you are willing, senior brother, you may take him as your disciple. If you really have no one to choose from, you may just teach him some supernatural abilities."

"Secondly, Yang Jian is a member of the Heavenly Court after joining the Chan Sect. The Chan Sect cannot force Yang Jian to change his stance, let alone use supernatural powers to change Yang Jian's mind."

"As long as my senior brother agrees to these two requests, I will allow Yang Jian to join the Chan Sect!"

Haotian spoke calmly, but his attitude was quite firm. He was telling Yuanshi Tianzun that if he did not agree, he would never give up, even if it meant taking it all the way to Zixiao Palace!

Yuanshi Tianzun naturally understood that Haotian's request was not excessive; as long as Yang Jian joined the Chan Sect, his goal would be achieved.

As for using supernatural powers to change Yang Jian's mind, causing him to turn against the Heavenly Court...

He, Yuanshi Tianzun, wouldn't be so tasteless!
Without much hesitation, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately nodded in agreement.

"Let's do as you say, Junior Brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun, along with Antarctic Immortal and Yang Jian, disappeared, and time began to flow again...
