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

Chapter 360 Western Spy, Blood Sea Technique!
Sea of ​​blood.

The Styx Daoist was unaware of the reactions of the primordial beings. After stating his position, he disappeared into the depths of the sea of ​​blood.

When it reappeared, it had already arrived in the Blood River next to Fengdu City and was flying towards the Fengdu Ghost Palace.

At this time, the many creatures in the Blood Sea were still in the Ghost Palace of Fengdu, being questioned and registered by the ghosts and gods of the underworld.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Styx River, these creatures all showed expressions of excitement, bowed to it, and said in unison:

"Greetings to the ancestor!"

However, upon seeing this, Styx's face immediately darkened. His gaze swept across the faces of these creatures from the sea of ​​blood, and he sternly rebuked them:

"You don't understand any rules at all! Since you've entered the Netherworld, you should abide by the rules of the Underworld. How can you be so disrespectful to the Ghost Emperor in the Ghost Palace of Fengdu? Quickly apologize to the Emperor!"

Whether it was the blood-sea creatures inside the hall or the ghosts and gods of the underworld, they were all slightly taken aback by the reaction of the Styx Daoist.

Styx was a famous figure in the primordial world. Even the ghosts and gods of the underworld who had never seen Styx had heard of his name and knew of his deeds.

Everyone knows that the Styx River has an iron head, a power that even saints dare to offend.

Ordinary creatures would avoid him, fearing that he might strike them with a sword if he was in a bad mood or a good mood.

In short, in the eyes of all living beings in the primordial world, the Styx was synonymous with capriciousness and unbridled behavior.

Who has ever seen the Styx in such a manner? Is it really appropriate for the Styx to speak of rules and etiquette?

However, to everyone's even greater surprise, after the creatures of the Blood Sea apologized to Yang Xuan, Daoist Styx also bowed and said in a deep voice:

"Today, I am fortunate to have severed my corpse and made further progress in my cultivation, becoming a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses. This is all thanks to your help, fellow Daoist. From now on, if you have any needs, just say the word, and I will do my best to help you."

The Styx Daoist paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding creatures of the blood sea. A murderous intent that struck straight to the soul emanated from him as he continued:

"If these brats in the Blood Sea disobey, you may kill them at will, fellow Daoist. If they do not cooperate, I will send them back to the Blood Sea!"

Upon hearing this, everyone, whether it was the Asura race or other beings from the Blood Sea, shuddered.

When Styx spoke of returning to the Blood Sea, he was not referring to sending them back to the Blood Sea, but rather to letting them reintegrate into it!
Besides their peculiar appearance, the creatures of the Blood Sea share another common characteristic: after they die, they leave no corpse behind, but instead turn into blood and rejoin the Blood Sea.

The Styx Taoist's talk of returning to the Blood Sea refers to this.

This is tantamount to telling all creatures in the Blood Sea that they either obey Yang Xuan's orders, or...

dead!
There is no third way!

With Styx Daoist's words, it's as if the power of life and death over the creatures of the Blood Sea has been completely placed in Yang Xuan's hands, and the vast Blood Sea has been given to Yang Xuan to use at will!

In the past, due to the inherent defects of the Asura race, and the fact that the creatures of the Blood Sea were different from other creatures, most of the cultivation techniques and supernatural powers in the primordial world were not very effective for them.

As a result, in the vast sea of ​​blood, immortals above the Earth Immortal level make up less than one ten-thousandth.

The number of Great Luo Golden Immortals is extremely limited. Apart from a few Asura Kings of the Asura Clan, only special beings like Mosquito Daoist have broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm by chance.

But now, the Asura race has returned to the Asura path, their life form has been completed, and they have gained a lot of merit. Other beings in the Blood Sea have also gained some merit.

As long as one can digest this gain, high-end combat power like the Great Luo Golden Immortal is not worth mentioning for now. After all, without a suitable cultivation method, even with enough merit, it is difficult to make a breakthrough.

However, Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals are not a problem. In just tens of thousands of years, the number of Earth Immortals and Celestial Immortals in the Blood Sea will definitely increase several times over, and even the number of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals will increase significantly.

In addition, the creatures of the Blood Sea are special, naturally possessing blood-purifying energy that has a certain restraining effect on spiritual energy and spiritual treasures. At that time, the overall strength of the Blood Sea should not be underestimated, and it would not be an exaggeration to call it a first-class force.

Styx's words, however, directly bestowed the Blood Sea, with its immense potential, upon Yang Xuan.

This scene was truly beyond the expectations of all the creatures in the Blood Sea, but they did not believe that the Styx Daoist was joking.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, they quickly made a statement.

"Please rest assured, Ancestor, we will definitely obey His Majesty the Ghost Emperor's orders and treat His Majesty as if he were our Ancestor. We would never dare to have any disloyalty!"

Despite Styx's seemingly respectful manners in front of Yang Xuan, he brought the Black Lotus as a gift upon their first meeting, and generously offered his assistance when they encountered obstacles from Zhunti. Later, he even gifted Yang Xuan the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

But in reality, Daoist Styx is the epitome of breaking the rules; he's only like this in front of Yang Xuan!

If you don't believe me, you can ask Black Lotus.

He had no grudge against Styx, and had never even met him. Yet, after more than a dozen Yuanhui in the Nine Provinces, Styx inexplicably came to his door and took him to the Heavenly Court without saying a word.

If the Black Lotus theory isn't convincing enough, you could ask Master Zhunti.

At that time, Zhunti only targeted Yang Xuan and ignored the Styx Daoist and Qingluan who were accompanying him.

As a result, the madman Styx disregarded the identity of the saint Zhunti and swung his sword at him, ultimately causing his vital energy to leak out and his efforts to be in vain.

Just ask me this: what does this kind of person have to do with the word 'rules' at all?
Since Styx has said so, he will definitely do it, and there will be no room for negotiation. How could the creatures of the Blood Sea dare to slack off in the slightest?
Moreover, they were already grateful to Yang Xuan, so they did not feel any rejection towards him. However, they were still puzzled and did not expect that Styx would do such a thing.

Even Yang Xuan was greatly shocked, and only now did he react, shaking his head with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. The Blood Sea has entered the Netherworld. From now on, all beings in the Blood Sea will be part of the Netherworld. As long as they accept the management of the Netherworld and abide by its rules, that will be fine."

Although the Blood Sea has extremely high potential and will surely become a first-class power in the prehistoric world in the future, as long as they take advantage of the Blood Sea's geographical advantages, no one can threaten them.

If one could control the Blood Sea, it would definitely be a powerful asset.

Yang Xuan was only surprised, but he didn't show much emotion and remained calm.

Even without Styx Daoist's words, he had a way to make the Blood Sea work for the Underworld, and that would be enough.

As for whether he could become another Lord of the Blood Sea, Yang Xuan didn't care too much.

He has always had a clear understanding of his goal: to pursue the Great Dao and attain sainthood!

As for perfecting the Heavenly Court, establishing the Underworld, and befriending forces such as the Human Race, Dragon Race, Phoenix Race, Demon Race, and Witch Race, all of these are in service of pursuing the Great Dao.

He never felt confused because of his power, which was comparable to that of a quasi-saint.

As long as the Blood Sea can be used by the Underworld and meet Yang Xuan's needs, that's enough. Whether or not he becomes the master of the Blood Sea is not that important.

But overall, this wasn't a bad thing; some of his plans could proceed more smoothly, for example...

Yang Xuan glanced at Mosquito Daoist without leaving a trace, a wicked thought rising in his mind, and he seemed to hear a 'crack' sound in his mind. Afterwards, Yang Xuan left the registration to the ghosts and gods of the underworld and led Styx to the side hall at the back.

Through this period of questioning, Yang Xuan gained a more comprehensive understanding of the situation in the Blood Sea.

Although the creatures of the Blood Sea are ferocious by nature and full of bloodlust.

In reality, most of these creatures in the Blood Sea were ignorant and naive; in modern terms, they were rather silly and adorable.

They constantly talk about "kill, kill, kill," yet they only ever guard their own little patch of land. Only when outsiders enter their territory do they act on instinct to kill.

Compared to some other creatures, these creatures of the Blood Sea are already considered law-abiding.

However, there are a few exceptions. These creatures from the Blood Sea have varying levels of cultivation. Some have just broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, while others have already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Their races are also different.

But they all share a common characteristic: they are significantly more intelligent.

This is similar to an ordinary creature receiving enlightenment from a wise person, thus gaining sentience.

Others might not see anything wrong with this, after all, such beings only make up a very small percentage, so it's not unreasonable for them to have some kind of opportunity.

However, Yang Xuan did not overlook this detail. According to later rumors, Mosquito Taoist was also a member of the Western Sect, otherwise he would not have been qualified to enter Mount Sumeru.

As beings born of the same blood sea, if Mosquito Taoist can become a member of the Western Sect, then can others also do so?
If Mosquito Taoists can become the target of the Western Religion, why can't other beings in the Blood Sea?
The reason why Mosquito Taoist joined the Western Sect might be because these creatures from the Blood Sea were recruited by the Western Sect first, which gave the Western Sect the opportunity.

Or rather, Western religion gradually infiltrated the Blood Sea through these creatures in the Blood Sea, eventually bringing the Blood Sea completely under its control.

The fact that Mosquito Taoist could freely enter and exit Mount Sumeru indirectly confirms this.

The fact that one of the eight classes of celestial beings, the Asuras, emerged after the advent of Buddhism is further compelling evidence.

Years ago, Yang Xuan suspected that there were people from the Western Cult in the Blood Sea. Now, the discovery of these beings with significantly higher intelligence has made Yang Xuan even more certain of this idea.

After all, Western religions aren't fools. How could they possibly use these creatures who are constantly clamoring for 'killing' as mobs?

If we really do that, one day when we get carried away with the killing, we might accidentally reveal our identity and expose the Western religion's plans.

Therefore, it becomes very necessary to enlighten the intelligence of these beings.

Moreover, these more intelligent beings in the Blood Sea have another obvious difference from other beings in the Blood Sea, which is the cultivation techniques they practice.

The cultivation techniques practiced by other beings in the Blood Sea are either too rudimentary or completely incompatible with their own nature.

However, the cultivation techniques practiced by these sentient beings in the Blood Sea are clearly more advanced and more compatible with their own nature.

If Yang Xuan hadn't gathered these creatures together, they might not have noticed this at all, and even if they had eventually realized it, it would probably have been tens of thousands of years later.

Now that this has been discovered, he can narrow down the scope in advance, which will allow him to be more effective in guarding against the Western Church. He may even be able to deduce the Western Church's plans and take countermeasures in advance.

Now that the Blood Sea has become part of the Netherworld, Yang Xuan naturally cannot allow it to fall into the hands of the Western Sect, nor can he allow the Asura race to become one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons of Buddhism in the future.

In addition, Yang Xuan also gained a clear understanding of these creatures from the sea of ​​blood.

In terms of origin, many creatures in the Blood Sea can be considered primordial alien species with enormous potential.

Furthermore, the creatures of the Blood Sea are adept at using blood-tainted energy, which can corrupt other people's spiritual treasures, giving them a natural advantage in combat. If they can grow up, they will be stronger than most prehistoric creatures.

However, it is precisely because of their unique background and lack of suitable cultivation methods that the cultivation levels of the creatures in the Blood Sea are generally not high.

Yang Xuan summoned Minghe to resolve the issue of cultivation techniques.

Among the creatures in the Blood Sea, apart from those suspected to be spies of the Western Cult, only the Asura race's techniques were somewhat decent.

These cultivation techniques of the Asura race all originated from the Styx Daoist. Obtaining these techniques would certainly provide considerable assistance for subsequent deductions.

Moreover, Styx is the progenitor of Asuras, the lord of the Blood Sea, and has a deeper understanding of the creatures in the Blood Sea. He is also a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses.

If we let him help deduce the cultivation method, both the efficiency and the final product will definitely be better.

Upon hearing Yang Xuan's intention, Daoist Styx took out dozens of innate jade stones without hesitation.

He wrote down all the core techniques and supernatural abilities of the Asura clan and presented them to Yang Xuan.

Some of the most precious jade stones even contain Styx Daoist's own cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, and insights into the Great Dao of Blood, the Great Dao of Slaughter, and other great Daos.

To put it simply, as long as it didn't involve the fundamental nature of Daoist Styx, he basically wrote it all down for Yang Xuan to read at will.

Yang Xuan was once again greatly surprised by the Styx Daoist's generous gesture.

He suddenly realized that the ancient world's evaluation of the Styx Daoist was clearly problematic. How could this person be described as capricious, unruly, and impossible to get along with?
Aside from being a bit stubborn, this Styx Daoist is actually quite easy to get along with.

Being polite, easy to talk to, and grateful is much better than some hypocritical people.

Rumors are harmful!

Yang Xuan was moved but did not refuse the Styx Daoist's kindness.

Subsequently, Yang Xuan pondered the contents of these jade stones while raising questions and offering his opinions, thus indirectly engaging in a discussion with Daoist Styx.

With the active cooperation of Daoist Styx, Yang Xuan's understanding of the Great Dao of Blood, the Great Dao of Slaughter, and other Great Daos has been significantly improved in just over a thousand years.

Although these were not the major paths that Yang Xuan cultivated, through analogy, he gained new insights into the great paths of cause and effect, death, and destruction, which significantly improved his cultivation and increased his confidence in severing his corpse.

In addition, he gained a more comprehensive understanding of the Asura race's techniques and supernatural abilities, learned many advanced supernatural abilities, and developed many ideas about creating the Blood Sea Technique.

The beings of the Blood Sea have unique origins and cannot be viewed by ordinary standards; their cultivation methods are no exception.

As the saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison. For other beings, blood and filth are harmful to cultivation, but for beings in the Blood Sea, this is their advantage.

The cultivation method that truly resonates with the creatures of the Blood Sea must utilize this blood-tainted and impure energy.

Having understood this, Yang Xuan began to discuss cultivation techniques with Daoist Styx.

Meanwhile, Kyushu presents a completely different picture...
