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

Chapter 414 Zhunti breaks through the Three Mountains Pass and forces Kong Xuan to enter the West!
Outside Sanshan Pass.

Kong Xuan knew that he could not avoid this calamity today, and Zhunti was determined to bring him to the West.

Since there's no way to avoid it, let's go all out and at least make sure we lose gracefully, so as not to disgrace the Phoenix Clan's reputation.

The five-colored divine light behind Kong Xuan shone brightly, illuminating billions of miles of land, releasing mysterious fluctuations, and swept down towards the Sage Zhunti in front of him.

next moment.

The saintly Cundi, holding six bamboo sticks of purity, was swept into the five-colored divine light and disappeared.

On the Chan Sect's side, Jiang Ziya and the others looked at the vanished sage before them, their expressions changing drastically, their hearts filled with horror.

"How can this be?!!"

Even if Kong Xuan's cultivation level is high and his supernatural powers are strong, Zhunti is a saint. How could he be swept into the Five-Colored Divine Light?
If even sages have fallen under the spell, how can the Three Mountains Pass be breached? Are they truly left with no choice but to withdraw their troops?

When the soldiers of Xiqi saw this, they were shocked and felt even more resentful towards the immortals of the Chan Sect.

When they saw the arrival of the Sage Zhunti, they realized that Kong Xuan was no ordinary being, and was definitely not the common being described by the Daoist Randeng.

Seeing Kong Xuan's extraordinary abilities, even managing to draw a sage into his five-colored divine light, further confirmed their suspicions.
This makes them feel deceived, and they inevitably feel unhappy.

In past battles, due to the lack of knowledge among the human race, they were often deceived by people like Ran Deng, and each time they were doing the most dangerous things, responsible for scouting ahead for the disciples of the Chan Sect and testing the level of the disciples of the Jie Sect.

At that time, although the disciples of the Jie Sect they faced were strong, they were generally weaker than the disciples of the Chan Sect.

Although there was danger, it wasn't much. For the sake of the bigger picture, they were just unhappy but didn't say anything.

This time, Kong Xuan is clearly different. Judging from the current situation, even if these twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were to appear, they would probably be swept away by Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light.

The immortals of the Chan Sect knew that Kong Xuan was extraordinary, yet they still tricked them into going forward to test him. This was simply sending them to their deaths!
Even today, many human soldiers harbor some resentment towards these immortals of the Chan and Jie sects.

Without the intervention of the Chan and Jie sects, the casualties would have been much smaller, if both the Shang and Xiqi had fought each other.

The fact that the Shang and Xiqi have fought to this extent, resulting in the deaths of so many clansmen and the destruction of the Nine Provinces, is all due to the Chan and Jie sects.

In contrast, when Yang Xuan established the Heavenly Laws and Earthly Rules, he clearly stipulated that no entity belonging to the Heavenly Court (or the Underworld) may interfere in the internal affairs of other races, and those who violate this rule will be severely punished!
"Indeed, only a great sage can achieve true fairness and justice, and truly care for humanity. As for others..."

The same thought arose in the minds of all the soldiers of Xiqi.

Even the soldiers of the Shang Dynasty and other human races in the Nine Provinces who had not participated in the war had more or less had this idea.

Although the Shang Dynasty had Daji in charge of the army, Shen Gongbao never used humans as cannon fodder to scout ahead. Even if they wanted to test the waters, they would send some heavily burdened immortals from the Jie Sect.

But they were all human after all, and seeing their people die like this, the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, as the culprits, naturally had grievances.

All I can say is, there is no harm without comparison.

Many people have already made up their minds to wait until the battle is over before going to the temple to burn incense and pray to the gods.

As for those human race members who did not go to the battlefield, they had already begun to worship many years ago.

Among the gods and immortals they worshipped, two were the main deities.

One of them is Yang Xuan, the great sage of the human race, the master of commerce, the only god of wealth in the Nine Provinces, and the head of all gods with endless divine power!
The other is the Goddess of War, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who was created by Yang Xuan himself.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, far away in the Heavenly Court, was completely bewildered as she watched the faith and incense offerings surge day by day.

If it weren't for the limitations imposed by the Incense Golden Body Condensation Technique, her Incense Golden Body could have broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm...

Over the years, she had sent several telepathic messages to Yang Xuanfa, wanting to switch to a more advanced method for condensing the golden body of incense.

But Yang Xuan always brushed her off with various excuses. Later, she even had a feeling that Yang Xuan was avoiding her.
This plunged her into deep self-doubt, wondering if she had done something wrong that displeased Yang Xuan.
However, they never considered that Yang Xuan might not have deduced the method for condensing the incense golden body to break through to the Great Luo realm.

Ultimately, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was too naive and trusted Yang Xuan too much.

In her mind, Yang Xuan was not omnipotent, but he was almost.

Since Yang Xuan once said that the Superior Incense Golden Body Condensation Method could be cultivated to the Great Luo level, then it must be possible. The reason why Yang Xuan did not bestow it upon her is that there was something she did not do well enough.

That's it!

Furthermore, as humanity's faith in the divine way deepened, humanity gained a deeper recognition of the divine way, and the fortune of the divine way was consequently enhanced.

As one of the biggest beneficiaries over the years, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden could clearly feel the increase in divine power and the fortune of the Heavenly Court within her, making her cultivation much smoother.

With her comprehension and foundation, without sufficient opportunities, it would be difficult for her to break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

But with so many divine powers and the blessings of the Heavenly Court, she saw hope for a breakthrough. If she could obtain some Enlightenment Essence from Yang Xuan and gain some more opportunities, that hope would be even greater.

Let's set aside the matters of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the divine path for now.

Outside Sanshan Pass.

The Taoist Ran Deng did not care what the human soldiers thought. He was a primordial being and the vice leader of the Chan Sect. How could he possibly care about their thoughts?

Even if these people have grievances, so what? Can we not fight this war? Can the human soldiers lead the way in surrendering?

Even if Xiqi really does that, there are still many people in Kyushu. Xiqi may be destined by fate, but others can be too!
Randeng glanced at Jiang Ziya, shook his head, and said with a smile:

"Junior brother, don't be anxious. The sage's cultivation is boundless. Your master is just playing along with Kong Xuan."

Jiang Ziya naturally knew that the sages were incredibly powerful, but he had never seen a sage make a move, and he had never even seen the supernatural powers of a quasi-sage before.

Even now, watching Zhunti being swept away by Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light, I still feel uneasy.

But before he could think further, he realized that something was wrong with Kong Xuan's condition.

Before this, Kong Xuan used the Five-Colored Divine Light to sweep Huang Tianhua and others, as well as Randeng's Purple Gold Bowl and other spiritual treasures, into it. He then remained calm, as if he had done something insignificant.

For a quasi-saint of his level, whether it was someone like Huang Tianhua who wasn't even a Great Luo Golden Immortal, or Randeng's purple-gold alms bowl, it was truly a trivial matter to do casually.

But this time, after using the Five-Colored Divine Light to imbue Zhunti into it...
Kong Xuan, this quasi-saint, widened his eyes, his lips parted slightly, and his face showed an increasingly obvious look of pain. His body also began to tremble uncontrollably.

After a short while, Kong Xuan knelt down with a thud, clutching his abdomen with both hands, and beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans seeped from his forehead.

After a while, Kong Xuan's body began to bulge upwards, as if something was wreaking havoc inside him. Even in his peacock form, he could not alleviate this symptom. His flesh and blood continued to bulge outwards, as if something was trying to crawl out of his body.

Finally, with a loud 'bang', Kong Xuan's back split open, and golden light flowed and dissipated, illuminating the primordial sky.

A majestic image with twenty-four heads, eighteen arms, and a height of tens of thousands of feet flew out from the cracked back.

The eighteen arms of the Dharma image each hold a spiritual treasure, including a necklace and canopy, and are blessed with a vajra, a precious file, a golden bow, a silver halberd, and so on.

The dharma figure gently waved its sleeve, and a thin golden thread flew out from its sleeve and tied to the peacock's slender neck.

In the next instant, the peacock's size rapidly increased, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-tall true form, and it painfully prostrated itself on the ground.

At this moment, the majestic Dharma image also withdrew its divine light, transformed into the appearance of Zhunti, landed on the peacock's back, sat cross-legged, and gently tugged at the golden thread around the peacock's neck.

Peacock's face showed humiliation and resentment, but he had no choice but to open his mouth and spit out Huang Feihu, Hong Jin and the others.

But Kong Xuan was always proud, how could he possibly give in?

Just after he opened his mouth and spat out Huang Feihu, a five-colored divine light suddenly flew out of his mouth and disappeared in an instant.

Although I cannot escape, I must at least make some more contributions to the Phoenix Clan!
This five-colored divine light was extremely fast; even Daoist Ran Deng could only see it flash by and not know where it went.

Of all those present, only the saint Zhunti could see clearly as he looked in the direction where the five-colored divine light had disappeared.

After a moment of silence, Zhunti did not intercept the five-colored divine light. Instead, he tugged at the golden thread in his hand, causing Kong Xuan to spread his two wings. Five-colored auspicious clouds and purple mist swirled around him as he flew westward towards Mount Sumeru.

Sage Zhunti's gaze shifted, revealing to everyone present the direction in which the five-colored divine light had vanished. After Zhunti rode away on Kong Xuan, everyone turned to look in the direction Zhunti had been looking.

Below the Great Luo level, even Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals could not see anything unusual.

Only a Great Immortal could vaguely see a blurry figure sitting cross-legged on a large bird atop a small mountain in the distance.

Only a few top-tier players like Randeng and Guangchengzi could barely make out some of it.

But all that could be seen was that the figure was wearing a bright red Taoist robe, and the large bird it was sitting on was not large, but rather fat.

As for the person's specific appearance and the appearance of the large bird, they could not see clearly. It was as if there was a mist beside the person, preventing them from seeing it.

Seeing the gazes of Guang Chengzi and the others, the man lightly waved his sleeve, and the surrounding mist became even thicker, completely disappearing from everyone's sight.

"This person is..."

The Antarctic Immortal frowned slightly; people dressed like this were commonplace in the prehistoric world.

But if you ask who is the most representative, all living beings in the primordial world would agree on one answer: it is the one from the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, who is also the one that the Antarctic Immortal dislikes the most.

"It shouldn't be him. What virtue or ability does he possess to make Kong Xuan entrust him with his final gift? What virtue or ability does he possess to make the sage step back?"

The Old Man of the South Pole shook his head, put the matter aside, and followed the Xiqi army forward.

Now that Kong Xuan has been taken away by the Sage Zhunti, there are no more obstacles at the Three Mountains Pass, and it's time to take another step forward.

the other side.

Yang Jian opened his vertical pupils between his brows, his expression a mixture of excitement and bewilderment, and stood there blankly.

Seeing this, Nezha couldn't contain his curiosity. He circled Yang Jian twice, and seeing that he still looked dazed, he couldn't help but ask:

"What did you see? Tell us about it."

"I..." Yang Jian, after hearing Nezha's words, regained his senses slightly and murmured:
“I think I saw the Emperor. He was sitting on Aunt Qingluan’s back, it was…it was…” Yang Jian paused slightly, as if he was choosing his words carefully.

After a moment, he continued:
"I don't know why, but I felt a special sense of intimacy with him, the Emperor."

"What's this?"

Nezha returned to the rock, jumped up, sat back down, crossed his legs, and said casually:

"When I saw the Emperor, I felt a sense of familiarity, even more so than when I saw my own father."

"I'll tell you a secret," Nezha said, glancing around like a thief, before leaning close to Yang Jian's ear and whispering:
"When I first met the Emperor, I had a strange feeling that he was my real father."

"Is this so..."

Yang Jian nodded thoughtfully, relieved. "In that case, this should also be one of the Emperor's traits. I was overthinking it."

Subsequently, the two of them followed the main force and broke through the Sanshan Pass.

at the same time.

On a small mountain outside Sanshan Pass, Yang Xuan sat cross-legged on the back of the Azure Phoenix, watching Zhunti Daoist's behavior, and shook his head with a smile.

With the extraordinary abilities of a sage, even if Kong Xuan's cultivation was not bad, Zhunti could kill him with just a wave of his sleeve.

If Zhunti was unwilling to cooperate, how could Kong Xuan have swept him into the Five-Colored Divine Light?
Upon seeing the Three Mountains Pass below, the human soldiers of the Shang and Xiqi tribes showed reverence, and faint wisps of incense smoke and prayer energy emanated from them, converging towards the west.

A look of realization dawned on Yang Xuan's face. So that's why that person put on such a show—to steal incense offerings and vows.

In fact, the journey of Tang Sanzang to the West in later generations, and even the entire Journey to the West eon, followed the same pattern, with many forces in the prehistoric world cooperating to stage this play and guide the prehistoric world's fortune to the west.

"Thinking about it this way, those two in the West must be preparing to establish a Buddhist sect. Otherwise, given their status, they would probably look down on incense offerings and vows, at least not at this stage."

Yang Xuan nodded secretly. According to the normal timeline, the two Western Saints had been planning for many years, and with no one vying for incense offerings, Buddhism was able to rise so quickly and become an existence comparable to the Xuanmen.

But now that the divine path has been established, even if Yang Xuan has no grudges against the West, it is impossible for the Buddhist sect to seize the incense offerings of the divine path!

"Although my cultivation is lacking, the divine path still holds the upper hand. It has close ties with the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and many races in the primordial world. It seems that it will be difficult for Buddhism to flourish!"

A faint smile appeared on Yang Xuan's lips. Even if his opponents were the two Western Saints, he had the right to be confident!
Then, Yang Xuan turned his gaze to the five-colored divine light in his hand, and after examining it for a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This is... the Five-Colored Divine Light?!"

Yang Xuan never expected that Kong Xuan would entrust such an important legacy to him at this final moment.
