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

Chapter 328 Since you are a wandering spirit, why don't you enter my banner? (12)

"Chaos Gods and Demons?"

Yang Xuan looked at the black dragon in the sky, his brows furrowed slightly, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

If this black dragon is indeed one of the three thousand gods and demons of the past, its strength is unimaginable.

So, when Yang Xuan gave the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl to You Lian, didn't that mean he harmed her?

Yang Xuan's scheme to help You Lian with the Dragon King of the River of Oblivion is just turning into a wedding dress for this black dragon.
No matter how you look at it, this black dragon, crouching within the Yin-Severing Dragon Pearl and devouring the fortune of the River of Oblivion, doesn't seem to have any benevolent intentions.

If Yang Xuan hadn't suddenly decided to see if Youlian's true form was the same as her transformed appearance, unchanged over the years, he wouldn't have been able to detect her existence at all.

If too much time is wasted, and Youlian becomes the Dragon King of the River of Oblivion, even if Yang Xuan discovers the black dragon, he will probably find it difficult to detect anything unusual.

At that time, the Ghost Lotus may no longer be the Ghost Lotus it once was, but rather the vessel for the remnant soul of this black dragon!
On the other side, the black dragon's gaze seemed to pierce through the thick black mist, and seeing Yang Xuan's slightly furrowed brows, it relaxed a little and a smile appeared on its face.

"So it seems you already know my identity. Then don't get involved in this matter. When I am resurrected and return, you will naturally receive your share of the benefits."

"Although I am not as great as Pangu, I am beyond your imagination. When I return, I will give you a direct path to the Primordial Chaos!"

However, Yang Xuan remained unmoved after hearing his words, his brows still furrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression, making it impossible to determine his thoughts.

Seeing this, the black dragon felt a little uneasy. If it were in its prime, it would naturally not have taken Yang Xuan, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, seriously.

But after being struck by Pangu's axe several times, how can his current condition compare to his prime? It's already quite remarkable that he has regained consciousness.

Although he didn't think Yang Xuan could do anything to him, even if he couldn't beat him, he could leave at any time if he wanted to, and no one here could stop him.

However, whether or not they can take Youlian with them is another matter entirely. If they miss this excellent vessel, they may never find another one.

Without the Nether Lotus, he would be unable to gradually absorb the fortune of the River of Oblivion, and his recovery speed would be greatly reduced, which was not something he wanted to see.

After a moment of silence, the black dragon showed no sign of unease; instead, a mocking expression appeared on his face.

"I know what you're thinking, junior, but I advise you not to waste your time."

"Now that you know my background, you should know my abilities. Even Pangu couldn't kill me back then. Do you think you're stronger than Pangu and can do anything to me?"

"Even if you could do something to this remnant of my soul, could you possibly stop me from returning? You don't actually think that this remnant of my soul is all I have up my sleeve, do you?"

"I advise you to think this over carefully. My remnant soul may be damaged, but it can still return. The outcome will not change. As for you..."

In the end, Heilong glanced at Yang Xuan with disdain; his acting was truly superb, showing no flaws whatsoever.

Even Yang Xuan didn't know if his words were true, or if this wisp of black dragon remnant soul was really just one of his backup plans.

Perhaps, as the black dragon said, even if this wisp of remnant soul is destroyed, it can only ensure the safety of Youlian, but cannot prevent this chaotic god-demon from being resurrected and returning.

On the contrary, doing so would offend a chaotic god-demon from the same era as Pangu.

Back then, any one of those three thousand chaotic gods and demons could instantly kill a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

If he were to be resurrected and return, he probably wouldn't even need to enter the primordial world. He could simply come to the chaos outside the primordial membrane and easily obliterate the soul of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

After all, this black dragon was just a remnant soul of that chaotic god and demon. With just a roar, it could knock out the dragons of the West Sea Dragon King and his clan, which shows how terrifying it was in its prime.

At the same time, based on this, and combined with the effects of the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl, Yang Xuan could roughly guess that this Chaos God and Demon should be proficient in the Great Dao of Soul and the Great Dao of Death.

For a chaotic god-demon who is proficient in the Dao of the Soul, killing a Great Luo Golden Immortal without being noticed is not a difficult task at all.

Even for a quasi-saint, it might just be a matter of putting in a little more effort.

However, Yang Xuan was not worried about this. As long as the time for the Chaos God and Demon to revive was extended by tens of thousands of years, even if Yang Xuan still couldn't defeat it by then, he would still be able to protect himself.

Of course, if this chaotic god or demon simply cannot be revived, then there is even less need to worry about it.

From beginning to end, Yang Xuan had no intention of negotiating peace.

"If you can be a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?" This is one of the principles that Yang Xuan has always adhered to.

Youlian is facing this crisis because of him, how could he possibly sit idly by?

Moreover, Youlian is one of the few juniors who are deeply loved by Yang Xuan, and he would never watch Youlian become the vessel of this black dragon and have her soul erased in the end.

Since this black dragon has already set its sights on Youlian, simply driving it away will likely result in it secretly returning and parasitizing Youlian once again.

Unless you keep Youlian by your side, it's impossible to be on guard against this at all times.

However, once Black Lotus is taken by his side, the plan to assassinate the Dragon King of the River of Oblivion will be impossible to continue.

Moreover, this black dragon and the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl clearly have a very deep karmic connection. If it is driven away, the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl will probably be lost as well.

Yang Xuan has always been the one to "borrow" spiritual treasures from others; there has never been a situation where he throws spiritual treasures away.

Therefore, the best approach is still to find a way to kill this black dragon.

To be fair, even if this black dragon is just a remnant soul of that chaotic god and demon, its strength should not be underestimated.

If Yang Xuan hadn't advanced his cultivation and blossomed the divine flower on his head, he would definitely have been in serious trouble after that black dragon roared.

To put it simply, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal under the tutelage of a sage might not be able to kill this wisp of remnant soul of the Chaos God and Demon. The most likely outcome would be that he would be severely injured and escape.

However, escaping from Yang Xuan's clutches is not an easy task.

For Yang Xuan, who is proficient in the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and the Great Dao of Destiny, and can also mobilize the power of heaven and earth, how could he possibly escape from him so easily?
Back when Yang Xuan was still a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he was able to keep Maitreya from getting close when he was being pursued, and eventually Qingluan left him further and further behind.

The same principle applies on the other hand, not to mention that Yang Xuan is now at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, much stronger than he was back then.

More importantly, no matter how strong this chaotic god-demon was, now only a wisp of its soul remains exposed.

And where he is now—

It's the underworld!
The Book of Life and Death, the Judge's Pen, and the Emperor's Banner in Yang Xuan's hands are all precious treasures targeting the soul!

Even if you're a dragon, you'll have to coil up for me in the underworld—that's Yang Xuan's confidence!
As for how to deal with the true form of this chaotic god-demon, making it difficult or impossible for him to be resurrected, Yang Xuan wasn't worried at all.

With Yang Xuan's current cultivation level, it would be extremely dangerous for him to deal with a Chaos God or Demon, even a dead one, and he might not even be able to find any other tricks up his sleeve.

However, he is no longer alone. If he can't solve a problem, surely he can find someone who can.
From a certain perspective, the reason why the great god Pangu died from exhaustion may also be related to these three thousand gods and demons.

The Wu tribe regards Pangu as their father god. If Houtu knew that this chaotic god-demon was still alive, and that Yang Xuan had captured this wisp of his soul, what would Houtu do? It's really hard to guess!
Compared to the true form of this chaotic god and demon, Yang Xuan was more curious about whether capturing this black dragon and refining it into the Human Emperor Banner would allow the Human Emperor Banner to gain another Daoist at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Because of the existence of the River of Destiny, even if a Great Luo Golden Immortal dies, his true spirit will return to the River of Destiny, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul, and he will have no Great Luo cultivation at all.

This is why, although the number of Yin spirits within the Human Emperor Banner has already exceeded one hundred million, with many at the Golden Immortal and Taiyi realms, there are none at the Daluo Golden Immortal level. While quantitative change can lead to qualitative change, the gap between a Taiyi Golden Immortal and a Daluo Golden Immortal is simply too vast.

Unless top-tier formations like the Myriad Immortals Formation or the Celestial Star Formation are set up, no matter how many Yin spirits there are at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, they will find it difficult to fight against a Daluo Golden Immortal.

The appearance of this remnant soul of the black dragon gave Yang Xuan a new idea.

Due to the existence of the River of Fate, it is true that after the death of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Primordial World, one cannot leave behind a remnant soul at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. However, the extraterrestrial demons and chaotic gods and demons in the Chaos Realm are not included in this category.

Alternatively, one could take a Great Luo Golden Immortal to the depths of chaos, to a place beyond the reach of the River of Destiny, and kill him as an extraterrestrial demon, which might achieve the same goal.

If the Human Emperor Banner can refine several Yin Souls at the Great Luo Realm, then its power will definitely increase significantly, making it comparable to powerful weapons like the Golden Dragon Scissors and the Heaven-Turning Seal.

in case……

Why not simply refine the souls of three thousand gods and demons? Then the upper limit of this Human Emperor Banner...

"Is it a man-made innate treasure?"

Yang Xuan's brows relaxed, revealing a look of great interest.

However, since there was no Yin Soul of the Great Luo Realm within the Human Emperor Banner, he did not know whether he could refine this wisp of soul equivalent to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm.

"Why don't you just try it and see..."

Yang Xuan smiled, showing no intention of speaking to the black dragon at all.

He's always understood the principle that villains die from talking too much!
When he was ambushed by the Black Lotus, the reason he chatted with the other party was because his cultivation level was not high enough, and he needed to establish a cause-and-effect relationship to ensure that his supernatural powers would be effective.

As for now, there's no need for such trouble...

Suddenly, a purple holy golden wheel appeared behind Yang Xuan's head, from which a purple ruler flew out and landed in Yang Xuan's hand.

Without saying a word, Yang Xuan gently waved his hand, and the power of heaven and earth, equivalent to two great worlds, was mobilized by Yang Xuan and added to the rule ruler.

As Yang Xuan's cultivation level improved, the sacred and pure energy within his body gradually increased. The power of heaven and earth that he could now mobilize had increased from the initial bubble world to the two great worlds!

The more power of heaven and earth he can mobilize, the greater the boost to Yang Xuan.

With the support of the power of heaven and earth, Yang Xuan's aura became increasingly powerful, and the Ruler of Rules in his hand released terrifying power.

Even a fool could see from this scene that Yang Xuan hadn't listened to Black Dragon's words at all, and had no intention of resolving the matter amicably.

"snort--!"

"When I am resurrected, I will make you, a mere junior, regret your actions today!"

The black dragon snorted coldly, and the black mist that made up its body churned violently, causing the surrounding space to distort. The black dragon's soul became flickering, as if it might disappear at any moment.

Being proficient in the Dao of Death and the Dao of Soul does not mean being inept at other Daos.

The three thousand gods and demons of that time all had some knowledge of the top principles of cause and effect, time, and space.

This is also a major reason why he is so confident. Even if they can't reach an agreement, he can leave at any time. The only regret is that he can't take Youlian, this excellent vessel, with him.

But at least, because of Youlian, his remnant soul has awakened, laying an important foundation for his future resurrection and return, which can be considered as taking a crucial step.

"I never said you could leave!"

Just then, Yang Xuan's voice came from below. The black dragon looked down and saw Yang Xuan once again waving the rule ruler in his hand, softly reciting:
"The space here is stable!"

next moment.

The space inside the Ghost Palace of Fengdu was as still as a lake that had suddenly frozen, as if someone had used a super-enhanced version of the technique of turning the ground into steel.

The distorted space around the black dragon returned to normal at that moment.

Yang Xuan also had some knowledge of the Dao of Space, but he was not as proficient as he was of the Dao of Cause and Effect and the Dao of Destiny.

But the Black Dragon is now just a remnant soul. Even if it once possessed extraordinary abilities, the spatial Dao it could manipulate was only comparable to Yang Xuan's.

Moreover, Yang Xuan mobilized the power of the surrounding worlds, equivalent to two great worlds, to reinforce the rule ruler.

To sum it up in one sentence, my authority is above yours!
If you want to draw the surrounding spatial path away from Fengdu Ghost Palace, or even the Netherworld, what would you do if there was no spatial path, or if the spatial path was unwilling to be drawn?

Having reached this level, Yang Xuan's pursuit of the Dao, and his domineering nature, have begun to gradually reveal themselves.

In Yang Xuan's view, using his understanding of the Great Dao of Space to draw upon the surrounding spatial power to leave this place and teleport to other parts of the primordial world is also a form of transaction.

The understanding of the Great Dao is the bargaining chip, the response of the Great Dao to the trading space is the item, and the mobilization of spatial power to leave this place is the result, forming a complete trading process.

Since it's a transaction, it's reasonable for it to be influenced by business principles!

When Heilong saw that Yang Xuan had simply waved the ruler lightly and frozen the surrounding space, his expression changed drastically.

If the Great Dao of Space cannot be activated, how can he escape? Yang Xuan's casual remark has undoubtedly cut off his escape route completely.

Want to escape...

Impossible!

This black dragon, who was able to become one of the three thousand gods and demons back then, was also a decisive and ruthless person. When he saw that the surrounding space had completely solidified, he knew that there was no hope of escaping under such circumstances.

Now he only has two choices: either kill Yang Xuan, the spellcaster.

Alternatively, he could end his own life before Yang Xuan could act, thus preventing his true form from being exposed and bringing about its destruction, making his rebirth seem a distant prospect.

He naturally knew that if his identity as a Chaos God or Demon were exposed, the sages of the Primordial World would never let him go!
Although he was severely injured and slept for countless years, his understanding of the primordial world was even deeper than that of some saints.

The primordial world will absolutely not allow them to be resurrected and return!

After some thought, a look of resentment appeared in the black dragon's eyes.

"Boy, I'll remember you!"

As the words fell, the Absolute Yin Dragon Pearl between the black dragon's brows cracked, a fissure appeared, and the black dragon's eyes gradually began to glaze over, its aura rapidly weakening.

If this continues, this wisp of the Chaos God's soul will transform into absolute Yin and death energy and completely dissipate.

After all, he was a chaotic god-demon skilled in the Dao of the Soul; he certainly possessed this much ability...
