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

Chapter 307 The incense and golden statue are unusual; they are objects used to suppress destiny! (22)

"Fellow Taoist, wait!"

Just as Daoist Styx was about to leave, Yang Xuan suddenly called him back.

He took out two handfuls of Enlightenment Tea from the Mysterious Spirit Gourd, transferred them into a stone jar, and handed it to the Styx River.

"These are tea leaves from a mid-grade innate enlightenment tea tree. They have a unique effect of helping people achieve enlightenment, and the taste is also quite good."

"Since you do not mind my low cultivation level and are willing to address me as an equal, then I will give you this can of tea. I hope you will not find it offensive."

Styx: ? ! !
What?! It's already... given away?!
The Styx Taoist was stunned when he saw the stone jar in front of him.

He had already witnessed the miraculous effects of the Enlightenment Tea; even for a quasi-saint like himself, regular consumption could be quite beneficial.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Yang Xuan were willing to take it out, he would definitely gain a lot of insights and exchange it for various precious spiritual items.

Even Styx himself was quite interested in the Enlightenment Tea and had considered trading some with Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan had just done him a great favor, and he couldn't offer any spiritual items of equal value, so he could only repay him with his decent cultivation level.

Ultimately, he has now received three suggestions from Yang Xuan for free, and he will continue to receive Yang Xuan's help for free in the future.

Even Styx had some pride; under these circumstances, how could he possibly have the face to propose trading Enlightenment Tea to Yang Xuan again?
As a result, he was too embarrassed to even suggest a transaction, but Yang Xuan took out a can of tea and gave it to him.

Yang Xuan's two bundles of Enlightenment Tea leaves contained at least dozens, and possibly even hundreds.

More importantly, there were even three purple Enlightenment Tea leaves among them, whose effects were clearly greater than those of the green tea leaves.

The value of this jar of Enlightenment Tea is so high that it is even comparable to some low-grade innate spiritual treasures.

But Yang Xuan just gave it away without hesitation, which was a bit too extravagant.

This can of tea was far too valuable, and Styx was unsure whether he should accept it.

Giving away tea or spiritual fruits is nothing special, but casually giving away a can of tea that is equivalent to a low-grade innate spiritual treasure is just too exaggerated!
Even the most useless low-grade innate spiritual treasure is something that can only be encountered by chance in the prehistoric world. How could anyone give it away as a gift, especially when Styx needs Yang Xuan's help?

Styx immediately felt that the gift he brought seemed insignificant compared to this can of tea.

But upon further reflection, Daoist Styx felt that it wasn't such a big deal.

Since we've already gotten so many benefits from Yang Xuan for free, another can of Enlightenment Tea doesn't seem like a big problem.

At worst, I can just help Yang Xuan a few more times in the future. It's no big deal!
Moreover, Yang Xuan was able to give away this precious jar of Enlightenment Tea so readily, so how could he not benefit from it in the future when he helps him solve problems?

Putting everything else aside, Styx would be content as long as he could receive some Enlightenment Tea each time.

Having understood this, Daoist Styx quickly accepted his new identity, and his Dao heart became much smoother. He accepted the stone jar from Yang Xuan and said with a smile:

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. In the future, if you need anything, just call out my name. There's no need to be polite!"

After saying this, Daoist Styx squeezed out a drop of essence blood from his fingertip, handed it to Yang Xuan, and turned to walk out of the hall.

Watching the departing figure of Daoist Styx, Yang Xuan remained calm on the surface, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

This jar of Enlightenment Tea is a rare and precious spiritual item for Daoist Styx, as it can significantly enhance one's cultivation.

But for Yang Xuan, it was not a rare thing.

The tea he gave away, apart from the three purple tea leaves which came from the top-grade Enlightenment Tea Tree, all the other tea leaves came from the mid-grade Enlightenment Tea Tree.

In addition, the environment of the Mysterious Spirit Gourd is special, making it extremely suitable for the growth of spiritual roots.

These green Enlightenment tea leaves may look plentiful, but in reality, they will grow in just a few years.

Using these renewable Enlightenment Tea leaves to further gain favor with the Styx Daoist is a sure-fire way to make money, no matter how you look at it.

Afterwards, Yang Xuan temporarily put aside the matter of the Styx River and went to the main hall of the Temple of Fate.

Since Yang Xuan condensed the Golden Body of Incense, he has spent 99% of his time leaving it in the main hall, either to handle the prayers of believers or to comprehend the Great Dao and deduce the method for condensing the Golden Body of Incense.

Over the course of several centuries, no accidents have ever occurred.

However, upon returning from Zixiao Palace, Yang Xuan discovered that the incense statue had fallen into a deep sleep and could not be awakened no matter how he called out to it.

Furthermore, Yang Xuan vaguely sensed that during the years he had been away from the prehistoric world, his incense-burning golden body seemed to have undergone some unknown changes.

He originally intended to go to the main hall first to see what the incense and golden statues were like, but he was stopped by Daoist Styx halfway there.

It was only now that I had time to come to the main hall and check on the current condition of the incense and the golden statue.

"Ok?"

As soon as he entered, Yang Xuan discovered the source of the strange energy.

All around the incense-burning golden statue was a large amount of golden mist, emitting a dazzling golden light that was hard to look directly at.

These golden mists are composed of a vast amount of incense and good fortune.

Yang Xuan was not surprised by the large number of incense offerings.

Throughout history, among all the gods in Heaven, his incense offerings in the primordial world have been far ahead of others. Even the two rulers of Heaven, Haotian and the Queen Mother, cannot compare to his incense offerings.

Even if Haotian and the Queen Mother were combined, their combined incense offerings still couldn't compare to Yang Xuan's.

With the establishment of the Underworld and the continuous expansion of the Heavenly Court, Yang Xuan's followers continued to increase, and the amount of incense he received also grew daily.

Moreover, Yang Xuan's followers were deeply devoted to him, and their worship was far more pure than that of ordinary people.

Both are practices of incense and deity cultivation, but Yang Xuan's incense offerings are clearly more effective.

This is one of the reasons why his incense-burning golden statue is stronger than that of other celestial beings and gods.

The incense burning around the golden statue was simply several times more than before, which was both unexpected and reasonable, and Yang Xuan was not surprised by it.

However, the fortune within the golden mist was unprecedented, completely exceeding Yang Xuan's expectations.

As for the source of this fortune, Yang Xuan knew it; he also possessed a great deal of this fortune.

These blessings belong to the divine path!
Yang Xuan ordered the construction of temples, promoted the method of condensing incense and golden bodies, and created a method for inviting gods. He encouraged all the righteous gods in the Heavenly Court to also practice the method of condensing incense and golden bodies, promote their own faith, and gather the incense offerings of believers.

Even the underworld and some races in the primordial world have begun to value the incense and divine path, cultivating the incense and golden body condensation method, making him the undisputed master of the divine path nowadays. He naturally possesses a great deal of divine fortune, but the problem is that Yang Xuan has always focused his divine fortune on his physical body to further enhance his own blessings.

But now, a great deal of divine fortune is gathering around the golden statue of incense, merging with the incense to form this golden mist.

If it is because Yang Xuan was previously in Zixiao Palace that the newly added divine fortune gathered around the golden statue of incense and merged with the incense, causing such a change, then it is understandable.

However, now that Yang Xuan's original body has returned, he discovered that the divine fortune that was wandering in the primordial world was still converging towards the incense and golden body.

Even the divine fortune on Yang Xuan's body seemed to be attracted by something, showing signs of converging towards the incense and golden body.

Clearly, this turn of events is not normal.

Furthermore, after some observation, Yang Xuan discovered that the golden mist composed of incense and divine fortune was gradually penetrating into Yang Xuan's incense-infused golden body, strengthening its physical structure.

It was precisely because of the infiltration of this golden mist that Yang Xuan's incense-infused golden body remained in a deep slumber, unable to awaken.

After observing for a while, Yang Xuan's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he discovered the reason.

Yang Xuan's original incense-burning golden body was stronger than that of other immortals and gods, and his cultivation level had broken through to the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal due to unknown changes.

However, compared to a true Grand Luo Golden Immortal, there is still a considerable gap in combat power.

Because of the golden mist, the magical power of the incense-infused golden body hasn't changed much, but its physical strength is far greater than before, even compared to the early stages of the Great Luo realm...

"wrong!"

"It seems that the physical realm of this incense-golden body is no longer considered to be at the early stage of the Great Luo realm!"

Upon experiencing the powerful physical body of the incense-infused golden statue, Yang Xuan's face immediately showed a look of astonishment.

His cultivation has now broken through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and he has gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

He was certain that, in terms of physical strength, the Incense Golden Body's body had surpassed that of an early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, and was even comparable to that of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal from the Wu Clan!

The physical bodies of the Wu Clan are unparalleled in the primordial world, and few cultivators can rival them.

But now, the incense-burning golden statues, which are regarded as heretical practices by all living beings in the primordial world, actually have a physical body comparable to that of the witch clan!
Moreover, as the surrounding golden mist seeped further in, the physical strength of the incense-infused golden body was further enhanced.

The incense-burning golden body, comparable to that of a mid-stage Great Luo Immortal, may not be the end, but rather a new beginning!
The reason why the incense-burning golden body has not been able to awaken for so long is because its physical body is too strong. The incense-burning golden body does not have a primordial spirit, but only a complete consciousness.

No matter how powerful this consciousness is, it is still just consciousness, not the primordial spirit. It is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on that consciousness to control the current incense-burning golden body.

This is why the incense statue has remained in a deep sleep, unable to awaken no matter how Yang Xuan calls it.

"Eh?"

After observing for a while, Yang Xuan suddenly realized that the way the golden mist seeped into the incense statue was quite familiar, and it had many similarities with the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong of the Wu Clan.

It's as if a highly skilled cultivator, based on the condition of the incense-burning golden body, used the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong as a template to create a special cultivation method for the incense-burning golden body to practice.

He is proficient in the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, possesses profound cultivation, and can also manipulate the divine energy to gather around the incense-burning golden body, merging with the incense and using it for the golden body's cultivation.

Looking across the entire primordial world, it seems there is only one creature that meets this requirement.

"What is the lady's purpose in doing this? What is she plotting?"

Yang Xuan frowned slightly, recalling what Haotian had once said: in addition to each of the three possessing a share of the fortune of the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Demon Clan, they also possessed a share of the fortune of the Divine Path.

At the time, he didn't pay much attention, but now, seeing the changes in the divine fortune around the incense and golden statue, he couldn't help but wonder if Houtu was involved in Yunhua's childbirth and was plotting something.

Now, upon closer reflection, Yang Xuan discovered a detail he had overlooked.

Even if Yunhua's childbirth was a scheme by the Dao Ancestor, how could Houtu not have noticed that the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc was in her hands?

If she doesn't agree, even the Dao Ancestor would probably find it difficult to accomplish this.

In terms of status, Houtu is equivalent to the Dao Ancestor!
"Ugh!"

"The more I learn, the more complicated this matter seems..."

Yang Xuan sighed helplessly. When he first returned to the prehistoric world, he was happy because his cultivation had improved, his Taoist skills had increased, and his supernatural powers had become more refined.

But when he learned that the Sage had used Yunhua to plot against him, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, making him dare not be careless in the slightest.

Now, the possibility that Houtu might also be involved is causing him even more headaches.

"Maybe……"

"That lady's actions were not malicious?!"

Looking at the golden statue of incense in front of him and feeling its changes, Yang Xuan vaguely sensed that Houtu's purpose in doing this might be for his own good.

If the incense-burning golden body continues to gather divine fortune as it does now, bringing all the divine fortune into one body, then wouldn't Yang Xuan's incense-burning golden body become a supreme treasure for suppressing divine fortune?

By then, who will be able to shake Yang Xuan's position as the master of the divine path?

Moreover, if the current trend of the Incense Golden Body continues to develop, once all the existing divine fortune is integrated into it, its physical strength may be comparable to the late stage of the Great Luo, or even the late stage of the Great Luo of the Wu Clan!
If Yang Xuan can awaken the incense-infused golden body, he will essentially have a clone comparable to the late-stage Great Luo Immortal, and his overall strength is estimated to more than double!
As for how to revive the incense statue, Yang Xuan actually had a potentially feasible method.

Many years ago, Yang Xuan had an idea about the incense-burning golden statue.

If the independent consciousness within the Incense-Incense Golden Body were to transform into a complete primordial spirit, then the Incense-Incense Golden Body might be able to better comprehend the Great Dao, and its strength could be further enhanced.

This will strengthen the overall power of the Shinto and enhance its fortune.

During his years of enlightenment at Zixiao Palace, Yang Xuan actually came up with an idea through studying the method of severing the three corpses.

However, this method was not yet perfect, and given the uncertainty of Houtu's plans, Yang Xuan pondered for a moment and decided to wait until he had met Houtu before making any decisions.

But before heading to the underworld, he needed to make proper arrangements for things in the Heavenly Court.

Especially regarding the matter of Yang Jian and the other two, precautions must be taken in advance, as he does not want to be caught in a calamity because of it!

Even if this is a sage's scheme, Yang Xuan cannot sit idly by and wait for his death. You can make schemes, and I can deal with them!

Subsequently, Yang Xuan sent out multiple telepathic messages, summoning the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and others to the council hall of the Temple of Fate to discuss important matters.
