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

Chapter 315 Haotian is enraged for Yang Xuan, and leaves the prehistoric world again to enter the chaos! (12)

heaven.

In a valley next to the Temple of Fate, there is an inconspicuous thatched hut.

The layout inside the thatched hut was quite simple, with only some medicine cabinets and a purple-gold alchemy furnace painted with the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern. There was nothing particularly mysterious about it.

At this moment, a golden light suddenly appeared beside the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, and a golden bridge extended from somewhere and landed in the thatched hut.

On this golden bridge, a green ox carries an old Taoist priest slowly forward, its body constantly growing larger.

In the blink of an eye, the green ox moved from one end of the golden bridge to the other, returned to its normal size, and carried the old Taoist priest to the thatched hut.

At that moment, the golden bridge transformed into a Tai Chi diagram and fell into the hands of the old Taoist priest.

This old Taoist priest is none other than Laozi!

Laozi rolled up his sleeves, a smile appearing on his face, and went straight to the alchemy furnace. He took out the spiritual items he had found on Mount Sumeru from his sleeves and put them into the furnace.

The same was true of the five-colored mushroom that grew on Zhunti's head; he threw them all into the alchemy furnace.

Strictly speaking, this is a unique spiritual herb. After all, this five-colored mushroom was created by Nuwa with the power of creation and grew with the blood and magical power of Zhunti as nourishment.

But that wasn't all. He waved his sleeve again, and a large number of spiritual objects flew out from his sleeve and fell into the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Among these spiritual objects, many are innate spiritual objects, and even those that are acquired are rare items from the primordial era, making them exceptionally precious.

The spiritual items inside the alchemy furnace alone are enough to make even a Great Luo Golden Immortal or a Quasi-Saint envious.

More importantly, given that Laozi put these spiritual objects into his alchemy furnace, what he was about to do next was all too obvious.

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Laozi closed the alchemy furnace, unleashed a burst of Samadhi Fire, and began refining the elixir within the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, starting the process of creating a special elixir.

"Once this elixir is refined, the karmic ties between us will be severed."

Lao Tzu smiled slightly. The higher one's cultivation, the more one values ​​cause and effect.

The Sage Taiqing attained enlightenment through the human race, and Yang Xuan's actions over the years have had a tremendous impact on the human race.

Without Yang Xuan, even if the human race could become the protagonist of the world, it would not have been able to reach its current level.

The better the human race's situation, the stronger their response to the Sage Taiqing.

Yang Xuan had rendered meritorious service to the human race, which resulted in the Taiqing Sage owing him a considerable karmic debt.

Many years ago, he thought of a way to end this karmic entanglement based on the fact that Yunhua gave birth to a son.

However, the lack of several necessary spiritual plants has delayed the start of this project.

Zhunti's unwise move this time gave him a legitimate reason to go to Mount Sumeru to find these 'lost' spiritual objects.

Especially that five-colored mushroom, it is a rare spiritual object that is unique in the primordial world and can be used as the main medicine.

However, he did not throw all of the spiritual objects he 'found' on Mount Sumeru into the alchemy furnace; he kept the seeds of the Golden Lotus of Merit.

After the fire subsided, Laozi took the seed out of his sleeve, flicked it with his finger, and the golden seed disappeared. It appeared out of thin air next to the golden statue of the God of Destiny in the temple, bathing in the golden mist.

The Golden Lotus of Merit is a rare spiritual object in the primordial world. For its lotus seeds to take root and sprout, they not only need a large amount of spiritual energy, but also need luck as nourishment.

If placed in the hands of ordinary creatures, it is not certain that they will be able to provide enough luck for it to grow.

However, in Yang Xuan's Temple of Destiny, there is no shortage of incense and good fortune. It is hard to say whether this seed can grow into a twelve-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, but a ninth grade should not be a problem.

If a ninth-grade golden lotus of merit were to suppress the divine destiny, the calamities that the divine path would encounter in the future would certainly be reduced as a result.

The reason why Laozi 'lost' a seed of the Golden Lotus of Merit on Mount Sumeru was for this purpose.

For other beings in the primordial world who cultivate immortality, they might not want the rise of the divine path, and even the other Heavenly Saints are not willing to do so now.

After all, no matter how large the primordial world is, there is a limit. If the divine path flourishes, the fortune of the immortal path will be affected to some extent.

Although we don't know how significant the impact will be, it's always good to avoid such things or find ways to weaken the divine fortune and protect the immortal fortune.

Laozi, or rather, the Sage of Taiqing, did not think so.

After years of deduction, he discovered that the Divine Path would be a crucial opportunity for the rise of the Heavenly Court. The rise of the Divine Path and the Heavenly Court would only bring benefits to the human race today.

Humans are, after all, an acquired race. Their foundation cannot be compared with that of innate races, and even among many acquired races, they are not considered particularly outstanding.

On the path of cultivating immortality, the human race is at a disadvantage compared to many other races.

Even though the human race now has three sub-saints and four quasi-saints guarding the Fire Cloud Cave, they have already firmly secured their position as the protagonists of heaven and earth in terms of high-end combat power.

But that's far from enough!
As the protagonists of heaven and earth, not only do we need to have sufficient high-end combat power, but the average cultivation level of our clansmen must also be high.

The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin races are like this, as are the Witch and Demon races, and the Human race should also follow suit, only in this way can they firmly occupy the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth.

Being the protagonist of heaven and earth is not just a title, but comes with real benefits.

The reason why the Dragon and Phoenix clans, as well as the Witch and Demon clans, still have such a strong foundation after experiencing the Great Tribulation, and why ordinary creatures dare not invade them, is because they obtained enough benefits during their time as the protagonists of heaven and earth.

If humans could cultivate the path of immortality while also cultivating, or even primarily cultivating, the path of divinity, their strength would surely increase rapidly.

As for practicing the divine path, one would be subject to incense offerings and faith, but in the eyes of the Taiqing Sage, this was not a problem.

If fighting over incense and faith is a drawback, then is fighting for spiritual objects and treasures in the path of immortality also a drawback?

As the strongest of the six sages of the Heavenly Dao, the Sage Taiqing naturally sees further than all living beings in the primordial world. In addition, through years of deduction and observation, he can confirm that the prosperity of the divine path is more beneficial than harmful to the human race.

From a certain perspective, the Divine Path is related to the future of humanity and the path of the Supreme Saint. The importance of the position of the Lord of the Divine Path is self-evident.

Looking at all the beings in the primordial world, from the perspective of the human race, Yang Xuan is the only one he can trust. Naturally, he should lend Yang Xuan a hand, and at the same time, he can settle some of the karma. Why not?

"This kid has a lot of influence. He just lies there doing nothing, and we old guys pave the way for him..."

Laozi shook his head and smiled, then focused his mind on the purple-gold Bagua furnace in front of him.

Whether this pill can help the divine path flourish will depend on its properties.

"Ok?"

But at that moment, the Sage of Taiqing frowned slightly and turned to look towards the direction of the ancient starry sky.

"Sigh! It's come to this..."

After a long silence, he sighed helplessly, but did not make any further moves.

He knew years ago that this day would come sooner or later.

The great calamities of the primordial era never descend from nowhere; each one requires specific individuals to trigger them.

During the Lich War, the ten Lu brothers were the ones who triggered the war, and this time, the one who triggered the war... was someone who acted not long ago.

In the ancient starry sky, beside a broken star, Haotian, with his quasi-saint cultivation, was repairing this broken star.

When the Styx River tore open a gap in that space, allowing the aura within to leak out, all the powerful beings who were watching Yang Xuan sensed it; it was just a matter of when they did so.

Haotian, as one of the few Quasi-Saints with two corpses in the prehistoric world, was naturally one of them.

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader was faster, by the time Haotian realized what was happening, he only saw a streak of cyan sword light flash across the sky, striking Zhunti's neck and forcing him back with a single sword strike.

However, he was also able to deduce the truth of the matter from the situation at the time, and knew that it was the saint Zhunti who personally came to the border of the Blood Sea to stop Yang Xuan, wanting to forcibly bring him into the Western Sect.

Everyone has their own destiny. If Yang Xuan really wants to join the Western Sect, even if Haotian is unwilling, he will not stop him.

However, he was quite certain that Yang Xuan had no intention of joining any major sect. Otherwise, Yang Xuan would probably have joined the Jie Sect long ago, and the Western Sect would have no place in it.

Moreover, if Zhunti really wanted to take on a disciple, he could have come to the Heavenly Court openly and honestly. Why did he have to block Yang Xuan's way at the border of the Blood Sea and create that space that isolated the inside from the outside?
Clearly, Zhunti deduced that Yang Xuan's mind was focused on the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, and he had no intention of joining a major sect. His so-called sermon must have had another purpose!

Even if Yang Xuan had no intention of joining the Western Religion, it would be difficult to maintain that idea after listening to Zhunti's sermon.

Sages possess profound and mysterious Taoist practices; changing the mind of a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be easy for them.
However, no matter how sophisticated the Taoist magic is, forcibly changing the mind of a Great Luo Golden Immortal will affect his comprehension.

If Zhunti does this, Yang Xuan's future cultivation and enlightenment will definitely be restricted, and whether he can continue to serve the Heavenly Court is another matter entirely.

If the situation becomes serious, Yang Xuan's stance will completely change, and he will end up harming the interests of the Heavenly Court for the sake of the Western Religion.

Without Yang Xuan, the Heavenly Court's future development might stagnate.

If Yang Xuan schemes against the Heavenly Court for the sake of the Western Religion, then everything in the Heavenly Court may become the property of the Western Religion, and the Heavenly Court will once again become an empty shell!

"Zhunti! A sage!"

Haotian's face was grim. He gradually increased the force in his hand, and finally, with a 'crack', he crushed most of the star, rendering years of repairs completely futile.

In the past, he would have felt heartache, but now, all his thoughts were focused on Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan's existence is not only related to the future of the Heavenly Court, but also to Haotian's enlightenment.

Without Yang Xuan, there would be no Heavenly Court as we know it today, and Haotian would never have become a Quasi-Saint with two corpses.

Many years ago, Yang Xuan had already become Haotian's Achilles' heel, and no one was allowed to touch him.

If Yang Xuan suffers a loss in a competition among peers, Haotian will find a way to compensate him for his loss, but he will not hold a grudge against the other party.

But how could he tolerate Zhunti bullying the weak?

In addition, Haotian was already angry because the Sage had plotted against Yang Xuan, causing Fairy Yunhua to give birth to three children with Yang Xuan's bloodline.

If it weren't for Yang Xuan's strong insistence, Haotian would never have let it go so easily.

This time, Zhunti went completely shameless, insisting on preaching to Yang Xuan, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, despite being a dignified saint.

Such an action is a blatant disregard for the Heavenly Court.
"When the Heavenly Court was in dire need of rebuilding, it was understandable that you were unwilling to help, but now the Heavenly Court is showing signs of great prosperity."

"You all repeatedly scheme against the Heavenly Court's greatest contributor; it's simply outrageous!"

Years of pent-up grievances finally erupted at this moment.

Haotian's expression was extremely grim. He silently stared at the direction of the sea of ​​blood for a long while before finally choosing to follow his heart and flying towards the outer heavens in his escape light.

“Last time, the Sage plotted against your bloodline.”

"This time, the Sage wishes to guide you, my beloved minister, to the West."

"If we do not restrain them and allow them to continue like this, I fear your life may be in danger!"

If it were just a saint bullying him, he could tolerate it for the sake of the bigger picture.

However, the sage's repeated schemes against Yang Xuan could very well lead to a falling out between Yang Xuan and the Heavenly Court, and even endanger Yang Xuan's life. How could he tolerate this?

This time, he was determined to uphold justice for Yang Xuan. Even a saint could not scheme against the Heavenly Court so recklessly!

……

East China Sea, Jin'ao Island.

Yang Xuan was unaware of what had happened in the Heavenly Court and Mount Sumeru.

When the Tongtian Sect Leader waved his sleeve, he felt the surrounding space distort and deform, making it impossible to distinguish his surroundings.

After the surrounding space returned to calm, they had arrived at a temporary palace.

The palace before me was paved with natural jade and covered with pure glazed tiles.

Ahead, a vast cloud platform stretched out, shrouded in auspicious purple mist. A young Taoist priest sat cross-legged atop the cloud platform, a long cyan sword resting on his knees.

This place is Biyou Palace!
Whether in terms of its Taoist charm or the richness of its spiritual energy, it is far superior to the Heavenly Court, making it a sacred place for cultivation comparable to the Purple Cloud Palace.

If one cultivates and comprehends the Dao here for many years, the speed of cultivation can definitely be increased by a lot!

Even though Yang Xuan was somewhat resistant to the Jie Sect, he had to admit that cultivating in Biyou Palace did indeed help his cultivation.

"Um……"

"After the great calamity, Biyou Palace will just be empty anyway, so perhaps I could..."

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Yang Xuan nipped it in the bud.

That's going too far! The Great Tribulation hasn't even started yet, how can they be thinking about dividing up the Jie Sect's property? And they're doing it in front of the Tongtian Sect Leader! How could they be so foolish!
"Thankfully, the Heavenly Mystery Pearl shielded his mind, and this sage didn't have a penchant for prying into people's minds, otherwise..."

Yang Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, startled by his own audacious idea.

He must have been infected by that stubborn Styx; he shouldn't get too close to him in the future.

"Um……"

"But then again, we owe this whole thing to Styx, that stubborn guy. It wouldn't be right to distance ourselves from him."

Yang Xuan shook his head inwardly.

Moreover, Styx, that stubborn brat, dared to fight even a saint. What wouldn't he dare to do? It doesn't seem like a bad thing to get on his good side.

As for how to repay Styx's kindness, Yang Xuan already had some ideas. The best way would be to help Styx complete the three things he had mentioned.

In this way, not only can this cause and effect be resolved, but the Styx River can also incur a debt of cause and effect in return. Furthermore, the underground passage can be improved, and the influence of the underworld in the prehistoric world can be increased.

If the underworld had the stubborn Styx River in charge, what time would you be there?
