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

Chapter 327 Black Dragon Shadow, Chaotic God and Demon? (11)

Fengdu Ghost Palace.

Upon receiving Yang Xuan's decree, the Dragon King of the West Sea immediately put aside his work and led a group of important dragon clan members to the Ghost Palace of Fengdu.

The affairs of the Netherworld concern the rise and fall of the Dragon Clan; how could they possibly not take them seriously?

As the lord of the West Sea Dragon Clan and a true high-ranking member of the Dragon Clan, the West Sea Dragon King, possessing the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, was the one fully responsible for this matter.

At this moment, the Dragon King of the West Sea looked ahead at Yang Xuan, who was dressed in a black imperial robe and surrounded by a large amount of dark ghostly energy, sitting on the throne, and was filled with emotion.

When he first met Yang Xuan, he was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, while Yang Xuan was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal who was favored by Haotian, and his cultivation was not worth mentioning.

He is still a Great Luo Golden Immortal, while Yang Xuan has gone from being a Taiyi Golden Immortal to a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, he was a late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, whose cultivation was even higher than his!

Only a few years have passed, and Yang Xuan has grown to this point. Looking back now, it seems like the West Sea Dragon King was dreaming.

What he found even more unbelievable was the incident at the sea of ​​blood.

Although the Dragon King of the West Sea has been staying in the Netherworld for many years, the Gate of Hell is right in the Blood Sea. How could he not have noticed Tongtian's sword?

After some investigation, he learned what had happened in the Blood Sea.

Knowing that Zhunti wanted to forcibly convert Yang Xuan to the Western Sect, the formation was broken by the Styx who was accompanying him, which led to Tongtian Jiaozhu discovering the matter and thus striking out with his sword, forcing Zhunti to retreat.

But this is not the end, but a beginning.

Houtu followed closely behind, manifesting the form of the Ancestral Witch outside Mount Sumeru, and swung her axe down at Mount Sumeru.

Later, after Yang Xuan arrived in the underworld, Houtu once again manifested her Dharma form outside Mount Sumeru.

This time, the scale was even greater, with the entire western continent shrouded in a dark, deathly aura, as if the whole west was about to fall into the underworld.

Moreover, Houtu summoned the projection of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and struck Mount Sumeru again, causing the enormous Mount Sumeru to sink by hundreds of feet.

No one knows why Houtu made her second move, but the West Sea Dragon King would never believe that it had nothing to do with Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan is the first person in history to have two sages take action for him.

This is the first time since Houtu attained enlightenment and the Six Sages of Heaven returned to their positions that a battle between sages has occurred.

It was Yang Xuan, this Great Luo Golden Immortal, who caused the four saints to fight.

Currently, there are only eight known saints in the prehistoric world, including Hongjun and Houtu. Now, half of these saints have taken action because of Yang Xuan. Anyone who hears about this will be shocked.

Upon seeing Yang Xuan again today, the Dragon King of the West Sea was filled with emotion. He was now almost certain that it was only a matter of time before Yang Xuan severed his corpse; it was practically a certainty.

It's not impossible for Yang Xuan to even surpass the Quasi-Saint level!
Even disciples of saints dare not say they can definitely sever their corpses and become quasi-saints. As for sub-saints and saints above quasi-saints, they dare not even think about it.

The fact that the Dragon King of the West Sea, a powerful dragon who existed since ancient times, could have such thoughts shows how highly he regards Yang Xuan!

Because of these thoughts, the West Sea Dragon King's respect for Yang Xuan increased significantly.

After entering the Ghost Palace of Fengdu, he led a group of dragon clansmen away and bowed to Yang Xuan.

"This humble god, the Dragon Lord of the Western Sea, greets the Central Ghost Emperor!"

"No need to be polite."

Yang Xuan waved his hand, his gaze falling on the little girl beside the West Sea Dragon King, a look of surprise on his face.

The little girl looked to be about seven or eight years old. She was wearing a long black dress and had two jet-black dragon horns on her head. The pupils in her eyes were the same color as the dragon horns, as if they could devour all light.

This little girl is none other than Youlian, the daughter of Yunmeng Dragon Lord!
Strangely enough, Youlian has been around for dozens of years, but her appearance seems to have been frozen in time, always looking like a seven or eight-year-old girl.

As for her true form...

A divine light flashed in Yang Xuan's eyes. In his vision, a long, yellow river appeared behind You Lian, stretching to the farthest reaches of the earth.

Large amounts of black mist rose from the yellow river water, which was littered with corpses, forming a jet-black dragon.

This dragon was enormous, as large as this long yellow river, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Seemingly sensing Yang Xuan's gaze, the jet-black dragon slowly opened its eyes. As if awakening from a deep slumber, the dragon unleashed a terrifying aura.

The dragon looked in the direction of the gaze, and in its dark pupils, it saw the reflection of Yang Xuan sitting on the throne.

Clearly, this giant dragon could not be the true form of Youlian.

Although Youlian's cultivation has improved rapidly over the years, she has not yet condensed the three flowers on her head. How could she possibly have such a huge physical body?

"Is it a remnant soul left on the Absolute Yin Dragon Clan?"

Yang Xuan frowned slightly.

Since taking human form, Youlian has been one of the few beings who have a special connection with him.

If Yang Xuan hadn't intervened with the Treasure-Changing Divine Technique, Youlian would likely have perished and never had the chance to hatch from the dragon egg.

When she came to Yunmeng Dragon Palace for the second time, Yang Xuan once again intervened, freeing her from the state of being neither alive nor dead and rejected by heaven and earth, and granting her the protection of the earth, essentially making her the chosen one of destiny in the Netherworld.

Later, Yang Xuan even brought Youlian to the Netherworld to plot the matter of the Dragon King of the River of Oblivion for her.

Even though the name 'Youlian' was given by Yang Xuan, he naturally didn't want to see anything happen to Youlian, and he also had the ability to ensure that nothing would happen to her.

Regardless of whether this is a remnant soul from the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl, or what its origin is, it is a soul without a physical body to protect it.

In this underworld, it's impossible to stir up any trouble!
Suddenly, the black mist surrounding Yang Xuan surged violently, enveloping his figure and obscuring his face, leaving only two dark eyes vaguely visible.

at the same time.

Behind him, three magical creatures appeared.

A pitch-black book, with the word 'Destiny' written on its cover in innate Dao patterns.

A black calligraphy brush with the words "life and death" written in innate Dao patterns on the tip.

A soul banner with a golden exterior, but inside there is boundless black mist and endless evil spirits.

These three spiritual objects are the Book of Fate, which incorporates the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, and has forty-eight innate restrictions. It also possesses the characteristics of a top-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure, as well as the Human Emperor Banner, a top-grade acquired merit spiritual treasure!

With the appearance of these two spiritual treasures, the Ghost Palace of Fengdu was instantly shrouded in black mist, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the area. Even the Dragon King of the West Sea, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, felt immense pressure, so much so that he could hardly lift his head and dared not look directly at Yang Xuan on the throne.

But that's not all!

Just as the Book of Fate and the Emperor's Banner released their terrifying pressure, the power of the Earthly Path also manifested, making the pressure here even more terrifying.

Apart from the West Sea Dragon King, all the dragons present were so weak that they could hardly stand and their bodies trembled violently.

Yang Xuan didn't know these dragon clan members, yet they could all feel it so strongly, which showed just how powerful this pressure was.

As Yang Xuan's primary target, the black dragon sensed it even more intensely.

Youlian's dark pupils appeared somewhat lifeless, and a black dragon pearl flew out from between her eyebrows, releasing a large amount of black mist.

These black mists intertwined in the air, eventually transforming into a giant black dragon that coiled within the Ghost Palace of Fengdu. Its eyes, like two black suns, gazed down upon the crowd below, unleashing a roar that shook the very soul.

This roar from the black dragon contained terrifying divine power, far beyond what an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal could withstand.

In the blink of an eye, all the dragons present fainted, including the West Sea Dragon King.

He still had a massive amount of karmic burden that hadn't been cleared, so his strength was practically reduced to a fraction of its original value. He had the cultivation level but lacked the corresponding physical power, and thus couldn't withstand that roar.

With this roar, only the lotus beneath the black dragon and Yang Xuan on the throne remained unaffected.

The black dragon looked at Yang Xuan with a newfound caution and apprehension.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing my peace and ruining my plans?!"

However, Yang Xuan ignored the question about the black dragon.

At this moment, he held the Book of Life and Death in his left hand and the Judge's Pen in his right, looking at the blank book with a slight frown.

After the Book of Life and Death, the Judge's Pen, and the Book of Fate were merged, and the three were combined into one, they became even more mysterious and extraordinary.

The original Book of Life and Death could only view the names, birth dates, and lifespans of all living beings in the primordial world.

But once integrated with the ledger of fate, one can use these contents to deduce more easily the other person's life story, or even their background!
With Yang Xuan's current cultivation level, and by mobilizing the Ghost Emperor's authority and drawing upon the power of the earth, even a quasi-saint level expert could deduce some things.

But now, we can't even see the name of this black dragon, let alone its life story and background.

This is clearly very wrong!

Either the black dragon's cultivation level is so high that it surpasses even a Quasi-Saint or a Sub-Saint, or Yang Xuan is unable to deduce anything related to it.

But how could such a thing be possible? As far as Yang Xuan knew, there were only eight saints in the prehistoric world: the Six Saints of Heaven, Hongjun Daozu, and Houtu Niangniang.

There were only three Quasi-Saints, namely the Three Sovereigns of the human race. At least these were the publicly known Primordial Saints and Quasi-Saints.

If this black dragon doesn't resemble a saint or a near-saint, then there's only one possibility left: the black dragon didn't conceal the secrets of heaven, but rather it didn't leave any trace in the primordial world.

However, as long as something exists, it will inevitably leave traces.

Even someone as cautious as Yang Xuan could not travel through the primordial wilderness without leaving a trace.

Even after he transformed into human form, he always kept the Heavenly Mystery Pearl active throughout everything he did, making it difficult for people to deduce what he was doing.

But it's definitely impossible for it to be like this black dragon, whose name can't even be deduced, especially since it was done after using the Book of Life and Death, mobilizing the Ghost Emperor's authority, and mobilizing the power of the underground.

Clearly, something is even more wrong here!
"unless……"

Yang Xuan stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"This black dragon is not a creature from the primordial era!"

In the primordial world, there have always been extraterrestrial demons.

These extraterrestrial demons are not beings from the primordial world, but rather come from chaos.

If this black dragon is an extraterrestrial demon that has just arrived in the prehistoric world and has not left any trace, it is not too strange that Yang Xuan cannot deduce its name or origin.

But it's clear that this black dragon couldn't have just arrived in the primordial world.

The reason is simple: this black dragon is the remnant soul of the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl, which is an innate spiritual treasure that was born when Yang Xuan found the Other Shore Flower.

This means that the black dragon was already attached to the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl before it was even born, and the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl was even born because of this black dragon.

Under these circumstances, how could this black dragon possibly be an extraterrestrial demon that had just arrived in the primordial world?
Moreover, even with only a wisp of its soul remaining, this black dragon possessed such cultivation that a single roar from it would be unbearable for an ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Although the Primordial Heavenly Dao has no consciousness, it does have instincts. Extraterrestrial demons of this level would probably have been wiped out by the Heavenly Dao as soon as they entered the Primordial World.

Even if Heaven is restricted by certain rules from unleashing divine punishment, can the Heavenly Sage do nothing about it?
Whether it's Heaven's annihilation or a saint's intervention, this black dragon cannot possibly have even a wisp of its soul survive.

Therefore, it's not very likely that this black dragon is an extraterrestrial demon.

After eliminating all impossible factors, there is only one possibility left for this black dragon.

In the chaos, besides the ordinary extraterrestrial demons, there are even more powerful extraterrestrial demons.

These extraterrestrial demons have another name: Chaos Gods and Demons!
Of course, with the double protection of the Heavenly Dao and the Sages, even a Sage, that is, an extraterrestrial demon at the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm, might not be able to enter the Primordial World.

But what if it happened before the Heavenly Dao was established and the sages took their place?

When Pangu separated heaven and earth, three thousand gods and demons wanted to stop him.

Unfortunately, they greatly underestimated Pangu's power, and in the end, they all died under Pangu's axe, becoming nourishment for the evolution of the three thousand Great Daos and the birth of the primordial world.

However, the death of the three thousand gods and demons does not mean their demise.

Although there is no River of Destiny in the Chaos, the Chaos Gods and Demons cannot return to the River of Destiny through their True Spirits, thus preserving a sliver of hope and waiting for the opportunity to be resurrected and return.

However, the three thousand gods and demons were from the same era as the Great God Pangu and were qualified to fight against him.

How could such beings be so easily killed? Yang Xuan didn't believe that they had no means of self-preservation.

In later legends, there is a saying that some great gods were transformed from chaotic gods and demons.

If this black dragon is not a primordial creature, nor an extraterrestrial demon, and has not even just entered the primordial world, and has not left any trace, then...

The most likely, and perhaps only, possibility is that this black dragon is one of the three thousand gods and demons that Pangu killed when he created the world!
