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

Chapter 367 Shen Gongbao Enters the Netherworld, Ten Thousand Blood Sea Technique!
Time flies, and three hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Kyushu.

With the arrival of the immortals from the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect, the relationship between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi became increasingly tense, and a large number of troops were stationed at their border.

Even the immortals of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect have arrived at the border to oversee the battle and await its start.

Xiqi went further, claiming that it was ordained by Heaven and should be the ruler of the Nine Provinces. The Great Shang should obey Heaven's will, abdicate, and hand over the position of ruler to Xiqi.

If we go against the will of Heaven, humanity will surely be punished by Heaven, bringing disaster upon humanity and becoming sinners against humanity.

Humanity is far from being the dominant force in the world, and cannot be compared with previous dominant forces such as witches, demons, dragons, phoenixes, and qilin. Humanity is far inferior.

Humanity should now lie low and not defy the will of Heaven. For the sake of humanity's future, Emperor Xin, as the current human emperor, should make a choice as soon as possible.

If Di Xin still covets the throne of the human emperor, in order to reduce the losses of the human race, Xiqi will launch a military campaign against Shang!

Di Xin's response was still only four words: "Man can conquer nature." Human affairs should be decided by the human race, not by fate.

If everything is left to fate, wouldn't humanity become a puppet of the heavens, forced to do whatever the heavens decree? What soul could such a humanity possibly possess?

Both the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi had their own reasons, which led to the division of the human race in Kyushu into factions, with some supporting the Shang Dynasty and others standing with Xiqi.

The remaining small group remains neutral.

However, this neutrality is only temporary. Once Xiqi and Dashang officially go to war, they will never allow any uncertainty in their rear.

If these people remain neutral by then, they will be deported or, in more serious cases, treated as rebels.

These neutral forces and cities are mostly from merchant backgrounds, and they are more sensitive to interests.

They knew that if they chose the wrong side, their interests would suffer huge losses once the war between the Shang and Xiqi ended and the dynasties changed, which is why they had been hesitant to make a decision.

At the beginning, they were more inclined to support the Shang Dynasty, after all, the Shang Dynasty had ruled the Nine Provinces for many years, had a profound foundation, and had connections with the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and the Phoenix Clan.

In contrast, the Xiqi coalition was composed of only the cities surrounding Xiqi.

Even after raising the banner of "destined by heaven" and gaining the support of more forces and cities, there is still a significant gap between them and the Great Shang Dynasty.

If the two sides were to actually fight, the Shang dynasty would clearly have a higher chance of winning.

But just as these neutral forces were preparing to make a decision, they learned that the immortals of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect had arrived in Chaoge and Xiqi respectively, representing the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect to fight for both sides.

If it were just the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi fighting each other, then Xiqi would have virtually no chance of winning.

But if the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect are involved, then it's hard to say.

It should be noted that the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Nine Provinces today are mostly the ancestors of the human race. As the foundation of the human race, they are suppressing the human race's fortune in the Fire Cloud Cave.

If even one or two Great Immortals were to assist Xiqi, it could potentially change the course of this war.

Upon learning of this, they hesitated again and began to use their connections to investigate the immortals from the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect who had come to the Nine Provinces.

There are no secrets in the world. These immortals made no attempt to conceal their presence, and the authorities quickly learned of their strength.

Relatively speaking, there are more Jiejiao immortals, but their cultivation levels are lower than those of Chanjiao immortals. If they were to fight, it would be hard to say who would win.

More importantly, according to their investigation, the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals among the immortals of the Chan Sect is greater than that of the immortals of the Jie Sect!

Many forces that had originally remained neutral decided to support Xiqi after learning of this.

After all, the cultivation level of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal is far superior to that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Even just one or two more Grand Luo Golden Immortals could directly change the course of the battle.

Over the years, the remaining neutral forces have also become somewhat volatile.

If no other Daoist masters from the Jie Sect come to the aid of the Shang Dynasty when the war begins, they will have to make a choice.

This was also the issue that Di Xin was most worried about.

With the great battle about to begin, the absence of any other Great Luo Immortals from the Jie Sect made him somewhat uneasy.

Therefore, he summoned Shen Gongbao and asked him:
"Master Shen, are there any immortals from the Jie Sect who have responded?"

"Your Majesty need not worry."

Shen Gongbao smiled slightly, "In a few days, other immortals from the Jie Sect will arrive."

"Among these Jie Sect immortals this time, there are also Great Luo Golden Immortals, and they are even assisted by the Ten Heavenly Lords. Although they are not Great Luo Golden Immortals, their attainments in the Dao of Formations are extremely high."

"After their trip to the Underworld and their discussions with the Emperor, their mastery of array formations reached new heights. Even their master praised them, saying that they already possessed the strength to fight against a Grand Luo Golden Immortal."

"If a formation is set up in advance, even three or five Great Luo Golden Immortals would not be able to return!"

Shen Gongbao spoke eloquently and confidently.

But in reality, he's not in a good mood right now.

His real purpose was not to summon the Ten Heavenly Kings, the Four Saints of Nine Dragons Island, and other people who had accumulated great merit.

Instead, they wanted to send the Seven Immortals, Ma Yuan, and other people with heavy karma into the tribulation, using their lives to fill the gaps in the Investiture of the Gods, repay the karmic debts of heaven and earth, and strive for more survival for the Jie Sect.

After all, a large part of the reason why the Jie Sect has fallen to such a state is because these people acted recklessly and created too much karmic burden.

In the past, they were protected by the saintly Tongtian Sect Leader, which is why they were safe.

Now that the Jie Sect needs to face its tribulation, it's reasonable to let these culprits sacrifice themselves, right?
Anyone with a conscience would stand up at this moment to repay the kindness of the Tongtian Sect Leader and make up for the mistakes they made in the past.

As it turns out, these people have no conscience whatsoever.

When Shen Gongbao first sought help, he sent a telepathic message to the Seven Immortals who were with him, but only a small number of the heavily burdened immortals of the Jie Sect came to the Shang Dynasty.

The seven attendants, being typical examples, were completely ignored and ignored.

Shen Gongbao naturally wouldn't give up so easily. After Wang Mo and the others arrived, he sent another telepathic message.

They also stated that the Chan Sect had immortals who had arrived, whose strength surpassed that of the Jie Sect's immortals, and that they needed the help of the Great Luo Golden Immortals to prevent the Jie Sect from losing face.

There was even a clear implication in their words that this was the Tongtian Sect Leader's intention to have them arrive as soon as possible.

To avoid the Seven Immortals and others feeling that Shen Gongbao was taking the opportunity to retaliate, he also sent messages to the Ten Heavenly Kings and other disciples of the Jie Sect who had accumulated merit or had little karma, in addition to the Seven Immortals and others.

This was done to increase the credibility of the matter, to arouse the sense of honor of the Seven Immortals and others as immortals of the Jie Sect, and to make them fight for the Jie Sect.

As it turned out, after learning that the immortals of the Chan Sect were stronger, the Ten Heavenly Lords and others expressed their willingness to come and help without hesitation.

Some of the heavily burdened immortals of the Jie Sect, after some hesitation, ultimately chose to go to the Nine Provinces.

However, the Seven Immortals and Ma Yuan, the most burdened immortals of the Jie Sect, acted as if they knew nothing and did not even reply.

Clearly, even though Shen Gongbao explicitly hinted that this was Tongtian Jiaozhu's intention and threatened them with the honor of the Jie Sect, these people still had no intention of fighting for the Jie Sect.

"As long as such people remain in the Jie Sect, the crisis of the Jie Sect is not considered resolved." "Since Master has entrusted me with such a great responsibility, I will definitely put them on the list!"

Shen Gongbao was determined to use the Investiture of the Gods to eliminate these parasites and resolve the biggest hidden danger of the Jie Sect, no matter what.

Once these people are listed, they will be bound by the Heavenly Laws. If they still dare to act recklessly, Yang Xuan will not tolerate them.

Even a Grand Luo Golden Immortal from the Jie Sect would be completely subdued once they arrived in the Heavenly Court!

Just thinking about how shameless these people were, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If these people insist on being cowards, pretending they know nothing and refusing to participate in the tribulation, there's really nothing you can do about them.

"Perhaps I should go to the underworld..."

Shen Gongbao's eyes flickered, and he looked thoughtful.

Sending the Seven Immortals, who were heavily burdened with karma, to the list was both a way to resolve the hidden dangers within the Jie Sect and a way to settle the karmic debts of heaven and earth.

If these people don't die, other disciples of the Jie Sect will die, and even people like Bixiao and Duobao will be affected.

Shen Gongbao could ignore the others in the Jie Sect, but Bixiao absolutely could not be harmed. He knew very well how much Yang Xuan valued Bixiao.

Bixiao was one of the most important people to Yang Xuan. In his previous life, Yang Xuan had given Shen Gongbao many opportunities. Even in this life, he was able to gain the favor of the Tongtian Sect Leader because of Yang Xuan.

How could he possibly have seen Bixiao in trouble?
Even if it's just a possibility, he doesn't want to take the risk.

After much deliberation, Shen Gongbao bowed to Emperor Xin.

"Your Majesty, I have some important matters to attend to and need to leave Kyushu for a while. I will definitely return before the great war begins!"

"Master Shen, please do as you please. There is no need to ask me for permission."

Di Xin waved his hand, and after learning that the Ten Heavenly Kings and other immortals of the Jie Sect were about to arrive, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally put at ease.

In fact, with the current strength of the Shang Dynasty and the assistance of the Jie Sect immortals, even if the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals is less than that of the Chan Sect, they are still evenly matched and will not be defeated too quickly.

Even if we wait until the Shang Dynasty is at a disadvantage and then ask Shen Gongbao to ask the Jie Sect immortals for help, it won't have a significant impact on the overall situation.

Now that the Ten Heavenly Lords and others are on their way to Kyushu, it undoubtedly further increases the chances of the Great Shang Dynasty winning.

The arrival of the Ten Heavenly Kings, in particular, put Emperor Xin at ease.

According to Shen Gongbao, these ten Heavenly Lords were most skilled in formations, and their expertise in formations was highly praised even by the Tongtian Sect Leader.

As long as they set up the formation in advance, even if the Chan Sect has a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Great Shang can remain invincible, giving Shen Gongbao enough time to call for reinforcements.

Since the war in Kyushu is not a problem, and Shen Gongbao has promised to return before the outbreak of the great war, there is no need to forcibly keep him here.

What Di Xin did not expect was that Yang Xuan also had such attainments in the Dao of Arrays. The Ten Heavenly Lords and others only had to discuss the Dao with him in the Underworld, and their attainments in the Dao of Arrays were greatly improved.

"As expected of a great sage of our human race, it's just a pity that he is unwilling to get involved in the affairs of the human race. Otherwise, if he had just made a public statement, perhaps this war would not have broken out..."

But soon, a bitter smile appeared on Di Xin's face.

This is obviously impossible. The war between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi is not just a change of dynasties in the Nine Provinces, but also a doctrinal conflict between the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect. How can it be stopped so easily?
After leaving the Human Emperor's Palace, Shen Gongbao sat cross-legged on the Azure Boat.

This Azure Abyss Boat was a gift from Yang Xuan. Although it is only a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, it is a good flying spiritual treasure that can greatly increase the speed of flight.

However, with the great calamity approaching, even with Shen Gongbao's cultivation as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, his speed would be somewhat insufficient, even if he activated the Azure Sinking Boat.

To avoid any accidents, Shen Gongbao took out another jade talisman and placed it on the bow of the boat.

This jade talisman is the color of coral, about an inch square and three feet long. It was bestowed by the Tongtian Sect Master and is called the Cloud Ladder Chain. It is a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Its only function is to increase flight speed.

Even if Shen Gongbao is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, as long as he uses the Cloud Ladder Chain to activate the Azure Sinking Boat, his flight speed can be comparable to that of a Daluo Golden Immortal, thus ensuring that he can return before the great battle breaks out.

……

Inside the Ghost Palace of Fengdu in the Netherworld.

Yang Xuan was unaware of the situation in the Nine Provinces at the moment.

With the help of the sage Houtu over the years, the speed at which the Blood Sea Technique has been developed has greatly increased.

Furthermore, Yang Xuan's purpose was simply to spread the Dao to the beings of the Blood Sea, to set a precedent, and to provide them with a viable path, not to deduce any particularly advanced techniques.

As long as these cultivation methods are compatible with the creatures of the Blood Sea, satisfy their basic cultivation needs, and lead them onto the path of seeking the Dao, then Yang Xuan's request will be fulfilled.

Finally, after more than three hundred years, Yang Xuan achieved his goal, gaining more than 100,000 jade talismans by his side, each containing a Blood Sea Cultivation Technique.

Although these are all basic techniques and not particularly advanced, and many of them even share commonalities.

However, with such a large quantity, it is still not something that ordinary people can do.

Even Houtu, recalling her experiences over the years, had many feelings, and her gaze towards Yang Xuan became even more complicated.

"If he had been born sooner, perhaps..."

After a moment of silence, Houtu gently waved her sleeve, leaving a black mark on Yang Xuan's wrist, and her figure became blurred.

"Just go ahead and do what you need to do regarding the underworld and the netherworld. No matter what happens, I'll be here for you. You don't need to worry!"

Houtu's gentle voice echoed in Yang Xuan's ears.

"Your Majesty has mercy!"

Yang Xuan bowed in the direction where Houtu disappeared, gently touched the mark on his hand, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Strategy Guide...

No, we've really latched onto this powerful figure!

With this lady protecting me, even if the Heavenly Saint dislikes me, he can't do anything to me!

With the mark left by Houtu, even if Daoist Zhunti comes to block the way again, Yang Xuan can shake Houtu over, greatly improving his safety.

Afterwards, Yang Xuan waved his sleeve to collect the jade talismans scattered on the ground, and walked out of the side hall with Daoist Minghe.

Now that the cultivation technique has been fully developed, it's time to resolve the hidden dangers of the Blood Sea and add some more obstacles to the Western Sect...

P.S.: Can a toothache be this bad? It's been five days already, and it's even worse than yesterday. The pain is constant, and I experience seven or eight sharp pains an hour, with five or six consecutive pains at a time.

How to describe that book? It's like having a blunt instrument tapping inside your dental pulp; it's more of a mental or emotional experience.
