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

Chapter 354 Drawing the Sea of ​​Blood into the Netherworld, Using Asuras to Mending Reincarnation!
Time flies, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

this day.

Shi Ji slowly opened her eyes, a confident smile appearing on her face.

Compared to more than a thousand years ago, Shi Ji's aura has not become much stronger, but it has become more profound, indicating that her foundation has become more solid.

Shi Ji's cultivation had long since reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, so it was clearly unrealistic for her to try to increase her strength by improving her cultivation.

To improve one's strength, one must start by cultivating supernatural abilities and refining spiritual treasures.

Compared to improving his cultivation level, consolidating his cultivation level is more important to Shi Ji.

Those with weak foundations have almost no chance of survival under the Great Luo Heavenly Tribulation, which is Shi Ji's biggest worry.

In terms of supernatural powers, as an outer disciple of the Jie Sect, Shi Ji possessed at least one or two impressive supernatural abilities.

In terms of spiritual treasures, Shi Ji already possessed two spiritual treasures: the Tai'a Sword and the Bagua Cloud Light Cloth. After being granted the title of Night Wanderer, she received many more acquired spiritual treasures bestowed by Yang Xuan.

More than 30,000 years ago, they obtained two famous treasures in the primordial world: the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Golden Brick.

Now, with the blessing of that drop of Enlightenment Source Liquid, coupled with the refinement of Earthly Merit, her foundation has been thoroughly solidified, making up for the last shortcoming.

Moreover, she is now a person who has accumulated merit, and although she is also undergoing tribulation, the power of the heavenly tribulation will be relatively smaller.

Building the Gate of Hell is to perfect the cycle of reincarnation in the six realms, which is of merit to heaven and earth, and can also weaken the power of heavenly tribulations.

Now, Shi Ji's chances of surviving the heavenly tribulation have increased to nearly 70%!

For a Taiyi Golden Immortal, even with only a 10% chance of success, it's not unacceptable to take a gamble if necessary.

If you have a 30% chance of success, it's definitely worth the risk.

If you're 50% sure, you basically won't hesitate at all.

If someone is 70% certain of success, even the most cautious person would set up the tribulation site immediately, and then—

Triggering a heavenly calamity!

Of course, Yang Xuan is an exception; he has never done anything with a success rate of less than 90%.

Clearly, Shi Ji was not an exception like Yang Xuan.

After checking her condition again, she went to an uninhabited mountain peak behind the mountain and activated the array she had prepared in advance.

Shi Ji adjusted herself to her optimal state, then mobilized the five elements within her chest, transforming them into auspicious clouds above her head, thus initiating the heavenly tribulation.

Large swaths of dark, ominous clouds emerged from the void and gathered above Skull Mountain.

Those with experience would notice that the tribulation cloud above Shi Ji's head was much smaller than that of an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal. This was the benefit of accumulating merit and doing good for heaven and earth.

Rumble——!
As thunder roared, a bolt of lightning, imbued with terrifying power, descended from the clouds and struck down towards Shiji.

Even though the calamity cloud shrank considerably because of his merits and contributions to heaven and earth.

But the Great Luo Heavenly Tribulation is still the Great Luo Heavenly Tribulation. No matter how much it is shrunk, it still contains terrifying power for a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Outside the White Bone Cave, Nezha, Biyun Tongzi, and Caiyun Tongzi stood side by side on a boulder. Looking at the terrifying tribulation lightning, the three little ones all shrank their necks, revealing a hint of fear.

It's not that they're cowardly, but rather that all living beings have a natural fear of heavenly tribulations.

"Boss, is the Empress alright? I've heard that many Taiyi Golden Immortals have died and perished because they failed their tribulations, without even the chance to be reincarnated..."

Caiyun Tongzi clutched the hem of his clothes with his small hands, his face full of worry.

"It's fine."

The fear on Nezha's face had vanished. With one hand in his pocket and the other patting Caiyun's shoulder, he adopted a mature demeanor and confidently comforted her:

"The Emperor arranged for Lady Shiji to achieve the Great Luo realm. Now that the Lady's foundation is solid, she has accumulated merit, and she also has the two spiritual treasures of Old Man Taiyi. What problems could there be?"

"If even Lady Shiji can't survive the Heavenly Tribulation, then I'm afraid there's no one in the prehistoric world who can."

Nezha has unconditional trust in Yang Xuan. In his view, there is no possibility of failure in anything Yang Xuan does.

Since Yang Xuan helped arrange for Shi Ji to achieve the Great Luo realm, it was impossible for Shi Ji to fail in her tribulation.

However, his words were not entirely based on blind trust; they also contained some of his own analysis.

Putting aside everything else, just the two spiritual treasures, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Golden Brick, can increase Shi Ji's chances of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation by 10% to 20%.

For a major event like transcending tribulation, even a slight increase in hope could change the outcome, let alone a one or two percent chance.

"That seems to make sense..."

After hearing Nezha's words, the worry on Caiyun Tongzi's face visibly lessened.

Even if she didn't have confidence in Shi Ji, could she doubt Yang Xuan's abilities?

Biyun Tongzi, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

And that is indeed the case; barring any unforeseen circumstances, there is a 70% chance of failure.

He possessed three innate spiritual treasures, one top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, and dozens of ordinary acquired spiritual treasures.

Shi Ji's process of surviving the tribulation of lightning can be described as quite smooth, even luxurious.

Seeing Shi Ji's method of transcending tribulation, the ghosts and gods of the underworld within Skull Mountain were somewhat envious.

However, they were not envious of Shiji's magical treasures, but rather of the fact that Shiji had caught Yang Xuan's eye, gained his favor, and achieved such good fortune.

Finally, as the extraterrestrial demon turned to ashes within Shiji's spiritual platform, Shiji successfully survived the Great Luo Heavenly Tribulation. The exquisite flower on her head bloomed, reaching the seventh grade and ranking among the top three!

Even among the saintly sects like the Jie Sect, those who can attain the seventh rank of the Great Luo Golden Immortal are extremely rare, truly as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

If the disciples of the Jie Sect were here at that moment and saw the seven-grade exquisite flower on the top of Shiji, they would no longer say that Shiji was not worthy to enter the inner hall to listen to the Dao.

With Shi Ji's seventh-grade exquisite flower quality, she will at least be able to enter the outer hall to listen to the sermon next time!
Shi Ji was well aware that her ability to survive the Heavenly Tribulation and bloom a seventh-grade exquisite flower was all thanks to Yang Xuan.

Without Yang Xuan, she would not have been able to obtain these authentic merits, nor would she have been able to obtain that drop of Enlightenment Source Liquid. The Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the golden brick would not have fallen into her hands.

She didn't even have the chance to transcend the tribulation; she was about to die at the hands of Taiyi Zhenren.

Shi Ji was not one to be unable to distinguish right from wrong. After rescuing the true spirit from the River of Fate, she bowed towards the direction of the Gates of Hell and said in a deep voice:

"I will never forget Your Majesty's great kindness!"

Shi Ji had made up her mind that she would not hesitate for a moment no matter what Yang Xuan asked her to do in the future, even if it meant her death, her true spirit returning to the river of fate, or her primordial spirit being listed on the list.

Everything she has was given to her by Yang Xuan, so for her, Yang Xuan's will is equivalent to the will of Heaven!

"Taiyi..."

A cold glint flashed in Shi Ji's eyes. She didn't know what Yang Xuan would make her do in the future, but she was basically certain of one thing: that she would personally send Taiyi Zhenren to the list during the Investiture of the Gods!
Back then, when Taiyi Zhenren disagreed with Shiji, he threatened to kill her, thus creating a karmic bond between them. Even though Yang Xuan intervened and forced Taiyi Zhenren to retreat, this bond remained unresolved. With this bond in place, as long as Shiji had the power, even if she personally sent Taiyi Zhenren, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, to the list of successful candidates, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't say anything.

After all, this matter originated from Taiyi Zhenren. If Shiji sought to settle the karmic debt with Taiyi Zhenren, and Yuanshi Tianzun intervened, it would be somewhat shameless, and Tongtian Jiaozhu would not stand idly by.

However, Taiyi Zhenren was, after all, a disciple of the Chan Sect. Even if he was seriously injured by Yang Xuan more than 30,000 years ago, his injuries must have improved by now.

Shi Ji has only just broken through and her cultivation is not yet stable. If she goes to cause trouble for Taiyi Zhenren at this time, even if she can defeat him, she will most likely not be able to get him on the list.

Moreover, Taiyi Zhenren is probably still recuperating at Qianyuan Mountain. If Shiji really goes to cause trouble for Taiyi Zhenren, even if Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't take action, do you think the other immortals of the Chan Sect can just stand by and watch?

This matter needs further consideration. It would be best to wait until Master Taiyi leaves Qianyuan Mountain before seeking trouble with him.

If we could know his whereabouts and lay an ambush in advance, that would be ideal.

As a disciple of the Jie Sect, Shi Ji also possesses remarkable expertise in array formations. If an array could be set up in advance, her strength could increase by at least 30%!

However, tracking down the whereabouts of Taiyi Zhenren is clearly not a simple matter.

"That might not be the case..."

Shi Ji's eyes flickered as she considered a possibility.

It would indeed be difficult for her to do this on her own, but if a disciple of the Chan Sect were to tip her off, things would be different.

If this disciple of the Chan Sect was also a disciple of Taiyi Zhenren, the possibility of him accomplishing this task would be even higher.

She suddenly realized that the reason Yang Xuan left Nezha at Skull Mountain and had Shi Ji take the time to guide Nezha, teach him how to conduct himself in society, and help him consolidate his cultivation was all in preparation for this matter.

The more Shiji thought about it, the more convinced she became that it was true.

Based on Shi Ji's understanding of Nezha, as long as she could help him get rid of the Taiyi Golden Immortal and become a disciple of Yang Xuan, he would not refuse.

If Taiyi Zhenren could be listed earlier, Nezha could leave the Chan Sect more quickly. If used properly, Nezha might even be able to cooperate in a play to settle some of the karmic ties between master and disciple.

Shi Ji's mind raced, and she had already formed some ideas. Then, she used her escape light to fly towards the White Bone Cave, intending to have a good talk with Nezha.

But just then, a huge figure strode over from the side, taking a single step that covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

In just a few steps, they arrived in front of Shiji.

This person has the head of a bull and the body of a human, and is a thousand feet tall. His body is full of surging blood and qi. He is the Xuan Niu of the Wu Clan, and also a third-rank deity of the Underworld and the Heavenly Court.

"The Emperor instructed that if you can overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve the Great Luo Realm, this item will be temporarily lent to you. I hope you will make good use of it and not disappoint the Emperor."

"Yes...that's what the Emperor said, I'm not mistaken!"

As they spoke, Xuan Niu took out a jade box and handed it to Shi Ji.

This jade box was made of innate spiritual jade and was set up with an array to isolate the secrets of heaven. Even Xuan Niu did not know what was inside, did not want to know, and would not let anyone know.

For Xuan Niu, Yang Xuan's words were equivalent to Hou Tu's decrees; he would do whatever Yang Xuan told him to do.

They didn't ask about anything else, nor did they allow anyone to disrupt the matter. This was the attitude of all the Wu clan members towards Yang Xuan!

This was not merely Houtu's order, but Yang Xuan's actions that changed the Wu tribe's situation and earned their respect.

The Wu tribe is an extremely xenophobic race. Throughout the entire prehistoric world, Yang Xuan is the only outsider who has ever done so.

It is no exaggeration to say that, as long as Houtu does not object, Yang Xuan's heart will be set on the path of the Wu Clan's sword!
After handing the jade box to Shi Ji, Xuan Niu turned and headed towards the Ghost Gate.

The task of guarding the Gates of Hell is handled by other witch-gods and spirits who have joined the Underworld.

In fact, Xuan Niu's main purpose in coming to Skull Mountain this time was to deliver the jade box to Shi Ji.

"borrow……"

Looking at the jade box in her hand, Shi Ji could tell from the word "borrow" that the spiritual object inside must be extraordinary.

Even if it's not an innate spiritual object, it's most likely a powerful acquired spiritual treasure.

In addition, Xuan Niu said that he would entrust this matter to Shi Ji after she had survived the Heavenly Tribulation, which gave her some ideas.

If nothing unexpected happens, the spiritual object in this jade box should be related to the Taiyi Zhenren.

Shi Ji immediately returned to the White Bone Cave and set up several arrays to isolate the secrets of heaven before opening the jade box.

Inside this jade box were only two items: a jade book and a bag.

That jade book was just an ordinary spiritual object, not even a postnatal spiritual treasure. The other bag was also just a postnatal spiritual treasure, and it was a postnatal spiritual treasure that had been refined by someone else.

But after Shi Ji understood the purpose of the two items, her face lit up with ecstasy. She gripped the jade box tightly, as if afraid that half of the two items would slip away.

Afterwards, Shiji put the jade box into her sleeve and called Nezha in alone.

at the same time.

The Netherworld, Fengdu Ghost Palace.

The Styx Taoist, dressed in a blood-red Taoist robe, stood outside the palace gate with a conflicted expression. After a long while, he finally pushed open the door and went inside.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Xuan..."

The Styx Taoist gave a smirk and looked at Yang Xuan, who was dressed in a bright red Taoist robe and sat on the throne.

"Fellow Daoist, have you come regarding the Blood Sea and the Asura Path?"

Yang Xuan smiled slightly and guessed Styx's purpose at a glance.

"Indeed, indeed. Fellow Daoist, you see, everything is now ready. Shall we begin?"

Styx looked somewhat anxious. After setting the agenda for the Blood Sea and the Asura Path at the Underground Reincarnation Site, he returned to the Blood Sea and mobilized the entire Asura Clan to do these two things.

Even he, a quasi-saint renowned throughout the primordial world, personally participated in it.

After tens of thousands of years of tireless effort, he had already prepared everything more than 10,000 years ago.

As long as the Blood Sea is channeled into the well-maintained water veins, it can flow to various parts of the Netherworld, thus completing the process of drawing the Blood Sea's water into the Netherworld and using the power of the Blood Sea to purify the Netherworld.

However, just to be on the safe side, he still went to Yang Xuan and told him his idea. Yang Xuan did not deny his idea, but gave him a suggestion to wait.

Considering Yang Xuan's usual steady approach to things, Minghe, though anxious, chose to accept Yang Xuan's suggestion.

As a result, he waited for more than 10,000 years. In the past, more than 10,000 years would have been the blink of an eye, but now waiting like this was quite agonizing for him.

It wasn't until the Gates of Hell were completed that Daoist Styx finally understood why Yang Xuan had asked him to wait.

After the three gates of hell are built, the tunnel will have more authority. If the sea of ​​blood is then drawn into the underworld, the sea of ​​blood will become even more powerful, and the Styx will have a greater chance of using it to sever the corpse!
Now that the three gates to the underworld have been built, it's time for him to finish this task.
