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

Chapter 408 Sun Star Lord, Fengshan at Mount Tai!
Jin'ao Island, Jinling Cave.

While the Holy Mother Jinling was in seclusion, comprehending the Great Dao, she suddenly felt a tremor in her heart and a vague sense of foreboding.

After some deduction, the scene before the Golden Spirit Mother appeared: Wen Zhong was turned into a lump of black charcoal under Yun Zhongzi's Heavenly Divine Fire Pillar, and his primordial spirit was listed on the list.

"The immortals of the Chan Sect are truly shameless; they can actually do such a thing as bullying the weak!"

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit glared, unable to conceal the boiling rage within her.

If Wen Zhong died fighting against someone of the same realm, it was because Wen Zhong's cultivation was insufficient and his skills were not refined enough, and he had no one to blame but himself.

However, Yun Zhongzi was a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, a renowned Daluo Jinxian, yet he attacked a third-generation disciple of the Jie Sect whose cultivation was only Taiyi Jinxian. This was far too unruly.

How could the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit sit idly by and watch her own disciple die at the hands of Yun Zhongzi?

All around her were swirling phantom images of Dharma, she carried a dragon and tiger jade ruyi in her hand, summoned the Seven Fragrances Carriage, and had the Four Symbols Pagoda above her head. She immediately left the Golden Spirit Cave and flew to the Nine Heavens, intending to go to the Nine Provinces to demand an explanation from Yun Zhongzi.

But at that moment, a slightly plump Taoist priest suddenly appeared out of thin air and blocked her way.

"Junior Sister, where are you headed?"

Jin Ling raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, her face flushed with anger. She pointed her golden sword at the Nine Provinces and roared:

"The Chan Sect has gone too far! Yun Zhongzi killed my disciple. How can I swallow this insult?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Duobao sighed helplessly.

"Wen Zhong is the Grand Tutor of the Shang Dynasty. He is destined to suffer this calamity. It is his fate. Junior Sister, you must not act rashly."

"Master said that during the great calamity, we should keep the mountain gate closed and recite two or three chapters of the Yellow Court Classic. If we rashly go out of the mountain, there is always the danger of our primordial spirit being listed on the list."

"If you leave in anger today, the cultivation you have accumulated over countless lifetimes may be completely lost in an instant. Please think twice before you act."

With anger in her eyes, the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit confronted Duobao for a long time. Finally, she angrily patted the Seven Fragrances Carriage, turned around and returned to Golden Spirit Cave, temporarily putting aside her idea of ​​leaving Golden Turtle Island.

at the same time.

On the Sun Star.

As the saying goes, when the time is right, heaven and earth lend their strength.

Following the mysterious guidance, Yang Xuan easily traversed dangerous places and areas undetectable by ordinary creatures, eventually arriving at a hidden space deep within the Sun Star.

This space was extremely well hidden. If it weren't for that special guidance, even with Yang Xuan's great fortune, he would have had difficulty discovering it.

"No wonder Lu Ya never found this place."

Looking at the fiery red tree in front of him, Yang Xuan realized where he was.

This large tree resembles two mulberry trees growing from the same root, leaning against each other. Its trunk is as thick as if cast from red copper, and its surface is covered with deep red patterns that meander like fiery snakes, exuding a fiery aura.

Its roots penetrate deep into the earth, nourished by the sun's true fire.

The tree canopy blocks out the sun, and its lush foliage resembles a burning flame. Each leaf shimmers with red light, as if inlaid with tiny sparks.

If you look closely, you will find that among these branches and leaves, there are fruits that are entirely red with fire, just like they are made of flames, releasing a mysterious Taoist charm.

These fruits are Fusang fruits, and this big tree is the top-grade innate spiritual root—the Fusang tree!

Lu Ya Daoist searched for countless eons but could not find him, while Yang Xuan, on his first visit to the Sun Star, found him effortlessly.

This is the benefit brought about by deep blessings and good fortune.

Although spiritual objects won't come to you on their own, it's no different from finding one for free on the street.

Yang Xuan had a vague feeling that as long as he could take the Fusang tree out of this space and plant it on the Sun Star, he could complete the last step, gain the Sun Star's approval, and become the new Sun Star Lord.

The only question now is whether the hibiscus tree is willing to be taken away by him.

Divine objects possess spirits, and this is especially true of top-grade innate spiritual roots. If the Fusang Tree resists, it will take some effort to take it away.

The top-grade innate spiritual essence has almost no combat power and usually no defensive capabilities.

However, before recognizing a master, the space in which it resides is special, often protected by an innate formation, which even a quasi-saint might not be able to get close to.

If one wants to escape, as long as one takes advantage of the formation, traveling billions of miles in an instant is not a problem at all.

The Golden Wheel of Fortune and the Golden Wheel of Merit appeared behind Yang Xuan's head, showing no malice whatsoever.

Furthermore, with the blessing of the Sun Star's fortune, and given Yang Xuan's relatively good understanding of the Great Dao of the Sun,
The array surrounding the innate Fusang tree had no effect on him and simply allowed him to walk in.

"I suppose you're tired of staying here. Today, I'll take you away from this place and back to the Sun Star."

Yang Xuan tentatively placed his hand on the trunk of the Fusang tree. Seeing that it did not react, a faint smile appeared on Yang Xuan's face. He then used his "Hidden Universe in Sleeves" technique to put the tree into his sleeve.

He turned and left the space, flying towards the Sun Star.

After arriving on the surface of the Sun Star, Yang Xuan followed the guidance of the Sun Star and the Fusang Tree, passing through a series of innate formations, and came to the outside of an ancient palace.

The palace, entirely gold and red, appeared to be naturally formed. Above the main entrance hung a plaque made of an unknown material, upon which four large characters were inscribed in innate Daoist patterns—

Temple of the Sun!

The innate Dao patterns contain the innate Great Dao and release pure solar true fire, as if they are performing the innate Great Dao.

The moment Yang Xuan saw these four words, many thoughts arose in his heart.

Knowing this was a rare opportunity, he dared not delay and immediately took out a drop of the purple-gold Enlightenment Source Liquid and put it in his mouth.

At the same time, the Golden Wheel of Morality appeared behind his head, and he entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

More than three hundred years passed before Yang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face.

With the blessing of the Enlightenment Elixir and the Pure Qi of Morality, Yang Xuan's comprehension was greatly enhanced. Although he also experienced a sudden enlightenment upon seeing these four characters, Yang Xuan gained more insights.

In just over three hundred years, Yang Xuan's understanding of the Great Dao of the Sun was more profound than it would have been in several eons under normal circumstances.

His mastery of the Great Dao of the Sun has now reached 45%, surpassing the Great Dao of Cause and Effect and becoming the second most mastered Great Dao.

As his understanding of the Great Dao of the Sun deepened, the power of the Sun God Fire also became stronger.

Most importantly, Yang Xuan could clearly feel that his connection with the Sun Star was becoming closer and closer, and the Sun Star's fortune on his body was becoming more and more intense.

"The position of Lord of the Sun is within my grasp!"

Yang Xuan smiled, raised his head and gently tapped, releasing a burst of magic power to open a gap in the array surrounding the Temple of the Sun, and pushed open the door to enter the temple.

Through these years of epiphanies, Yang Xuan has gained a basic understanding of this Temple of the Sun.

This temple is not something that appears to have been formed naturally; it wasn't built by Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun, but rather it was formed naturally.

This temple has existed since the birth of the Sun Star and is part of the Sun Star.

At the same time, this temple is also where the Fusang tree first took root. Following the passage, Yang Xuan arrived at a spacious garden.

Around this garden, there are a large number of Yang-attribute innate spiritual roots planted, including several top-grade spiritual roots.

At the center of the garden is a large pit, beneath which lie several earth veins, making it the area with the most abundant spiritual energy.

Upon seeing the pit, the hibiscus tree in Yang Xuan's sleeve suddenly emitted an excited emotion.

Clearly, this large pit is where the hibiscus tree was once planted, and it is also where the hibiscus tree now wants to take root.

Yang Xuan immediately waved his sleeve, took out the Fusang tree, and planted it in the large pit.

To be precise, it was Yang Xuan who went out to the Fusang tree and placed it on top of the large pit.

Followed by.

The roots of the hibiscus tree grow automatically, extending into the soil and even drawing the surrounding soil into the pit, taking root completely.

Om-!
The moment the Fusang tree took root, a mysterious Daoist aura emanated from beneath the Sun Star and landed on Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan felt something and immediately used his imperial authority to grant himself the divine title of Sun Star Lord.

With the permission of the Heavenly Emperor and the authority granted by the Heavenly Dao, Yang Xuan had the power to grant pardons and titles even if he was not in the Heavenly Court, even if he was a First-Rank Emperor.

It wouldn't be a problem to grant myself another divine position. As the top leader under the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother, what's wrong with holding multiple divine positions?

Just after Yang Xuan completed the pardoning ceremony for himself, the Sun Star once again emitted a mysterious Daoist aura, which entered the Sun Star Lord's divine pardon decree between his brows, acknowledging Yang Xuan's pardon.

From then on, Yang Xuan became the new Lord of the Sun Star.

From now on, if Yang Xuan wants to sever the corpse, he will use the Sun Star to contain the evil corpse. Even if Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun return from the River of Destiny, they will not be able to shake Yang Xuan's position as the Lord of the Sun Star.

"All is ready except for the opportunity."

Yang Xuan's lips curled up slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through infinite space and landing on the battlefield of Kyushu.

"Huh? I think I've remembered something I forgot..."

Yang Xuan's smile froze slightly as he remembered that Jiang Ziya seemed to have died again in the last great battle.

Judging by the time, they should have arrived in the underworld by now, and perhaps be experiencing its unique features...

"Let's go back to the underworld first."

Yang Xuan mobilized the power of the Sun Star Lord, and under the sunlight, he arrived at Skull Mountain. Then, he used his escape light to fly into the Gates of Hell and return to the Underworld.

After a brief investigation, Yang Xuan learned that Jiang Ziya had indeed come to the underworld and had been experiencing the Tongue-Pulling Hell for over a hundred years.

"It's time to talk about resurrection."

Yang Xuan returned to the Ghost Palace of Fengdu and instructed the underworld officials beside him to bring Jiang Ziya up.

"Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor, I've finally met you."

Upon seeing Yang Xuan, the seal on Jiang Ziya's body was automatically released, and he was immediately moved to tears.

This time, the time spent in the underworld was not as long as the last time, but the hospitality received was clearly much better.

Whether on his way to the underworld or in the Tongue-Pulling Hell, Jiang Ziya received extra care.

While others have their tongues pulled out once a day, thanks to the special care of the underworld officials, he gets to enjoy this treatment at least twice a day.

In just over a hundred years, Jiang Ziya felt deep remorse for his past actions and vowed that after his return to life, he would never lie again.

Now that he has seen Yang Xuan, he knows that his chance to be resurrected has come, how could he not be excited?

Having learned from his previous experience, he knew Yang Xuan's personality: if he wanted to be resurrected, he had to pay a toll.

Jiang Ziya did not feign suspicion with Yang Xuan, but after bowing respectfully, he asked directly:

"I know that returning to the mortal realm is against the rules. I wonder what price Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor thinks I should pay to return to the mortal realm?"

"What do you mean by that?" Yang Xuan frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure, and he tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers.

"How can you say this is my opinion? Did I take the price you paid?"

"I'm making you pay a price out of respect for the Chan Sect, to help you pull some strings so you can return to the mortal realm."

"If you think I have benefited from you, you can go to the immortals of the Chan Sect or the sages to ask for a pardon and have the Empress release you."

Yang Xuan's tone was calm, almost without any inflection, but it made Jiang Ziya break out in a cold sweat, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

He didn't want this matter to spread to the Chan Sect and alarm the Primordial Heavenly Lord, so he waited for Yang Xuan here, hoping to return to the mortal realm through Yang Xuan's help.

If Yang Xuan is angered, then if he wants to leave the underworld, he will have to wait for the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning's pardon.

Yuanshi Tianzun values ​​his reputation above all else. If something like this happens, he will never be able to hold his head up high again in the underworld.

Jiang Ziya hurriedly bowed and wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead. He was now a soul, so how could he possibly be sweating?
"It was my fault for speaking out of turn, Your Majesty. Please forgive me. What I wanted to say was that I was wondering how I could return to the mortal realm. I would appreciate Your Majesty's guidance."

"Since you are sincerely seeking answers, I will show you the way. It would be really inappropriate to disturb the Sage over such a trivial matter."

Yang Xuan paused for a moment, then continued:

"If I'm not mistaken, after the Investiture of the Gods is completed, regardless of whether Xiqi or Dashang wins, you will be the one to complete the Investiture of the Gods."

"The Investiture of the Gods is an internal matter of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), and the Underworld should not interfere."

"I hope that during the Investiture of the Gods, you, fellow Daoist, can perform the Fengshan ceremony for the human race..."

Yang Xuan smiled and stated his conditions.

Following the normal timeline, it was initially Qin Shi Huang who completed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, claiming to possess "virtues surpassing the Three Sovereigns and achievements exceeding the Five Emperors."

From then on, emperors of all dynasties who achieved great things continued this practice.

Examples include Emperor Wu of Han (Liu Che), Emperor Guangwu of Han (Liu Xiu), and Emperor Gaozong of Tang (Li Zhi).

This led to a surge in Mount Tai's fortune, ultimately making it the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Therefore, Yang Xuan decided to establish the custom of Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai during the Western Zhou Dynasty, so as to further enhance the fortune of Mount Tai.

Once Yang Xuan becomes the Mountain Emperor who governs Mount Tai, his fortune will increase further, and he will gain even more benefits.

This would also strengthen his ties with the human race, adding a bit more hope to his path to enlightenment.

P.S.: Sigh, the blind date fell through. I really liked this person, but unfortunately, they didn't reciprocate. Sigh, my resolve is shattered...
