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

Chapter 415 The Phoenix Clan received the Five-Colored Divine Light, symbolizing freedom!
"This is... the Five-Colored Divine Light?!"

Yang Xuan looked at the five-colored divine light in his hand and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

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

Within this five-colored divine light is recorded Kong Xuan's famous supernatural power—the Five-Colored Divine Light!
This is a genuine and powerful divine ability. If one can learn it, the improvement in strength will be no less than obtaining a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

But acquiring such a great supernatural power is no easy task.

Yang Xuan possesses numerous powerful supernatural abilities, including the Universe in His Sleeve and the Seven Arrows of Nailhead. Through years of development, he has also created the Divine Art of Treasure Exchange, which is considered a powerful supernatural ability.
He knew all too well how difficult it was to learn a great supernatural skill, and even more difficult to master it.

One of the fundamental elements that makes something a great supernatural power is its profound application of the Great Dao.

Yang Xuan's Yi Bao Divine Technique is an application of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, while the Universe in the Sleeve is an application of the Great Dao of Space.

The Seven Arrows of Nailhead is an application of the Great Dao of Curses, and it also involves the Great Dao of Fate, Cause and Effect, etc.

The reason Yang Xuan was able to learn the Seven Arrows of Nailhead so quickly was not only because of his amazing comprehension, but also because he had spiritual objects such as the Enlightenment Source Liquid and the Golden Wheel of Morality to enhance his comprehension.
This is also closely related to his mastery of the two great principles of destiny and cause and effect.

However, the Five-Colored Divine Light is different. To learn this divine power, one needs to understand the Five Elements Dao of the Primordial Chaos. To master this divine power, one needs to have a certain understanding of the Five Elements Dao of the Primordial Chaos.

The Five Elements mentioned here are not the five basic elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Instead, it contains the innate Five Elements Great Dao, which is a top-tier Great Dao, just like the Great Daos of Yin, Yang, Tai Chi, and Space.

Yang Xuan is not proficient in the Five Elements Dao of Innate Nature, so it will inevitably take him a long time to learn this supernatural power.

However, Yang Xuan still found it very interesting. In any case, being able to master a great supernatural power was a good thing.

More importantly, the Five-Colored Divine Light is a supernatural power that utilizes the innate Five Elements Dao. Cultivating this supernatural power can deepen one's understanding of the innate Five Elements Dao.

If Yang Xuan could gain some insight into the Five Elements Dao, he could enhance his own foundation and perhaps even further improve his business acumen.

Moreover, the Five-Colored Divine Light can also be used to refresh people's spiritual treasures, and it has something in common with the Treasure-Changing Divine Technique and the Treasure-Falling Coin.

If one can learn the Five-Colored Divine Light, when Yang Xuan perfects the Way of Commerce and attains sainthood in the future, even as a fellow saint, he might not dare to casually reveal the spiritual treasure.

Furthermore, Yang Xuan possessed spiritual objects that enhanced his comprehension, such as the Enlightenment Source Liquid and the Moral Golden Wheel, and he also had the cultivation method of the Five-Colored Divine Light Great Supernatural Power.

Whether it's cultivating supernatural powers or comprehending the innate Five Elements Great Dao, his efficiency is even comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint.

Obtaining the Five-Colored Divine Light is a rather good unexpected gain.

Of course, Yang Xuan wouldn't accept this supernatural power for nothing; he understood Kong Xuan's intentions.

Kong Xuan knew that once he joined the Western Religion, he would lose control of his own destiny. Preserving the Five-Colored Divine Light was already his limit.
It seems unlikely that they will continue to protect the Phoenix Clan and pass on this divine power back to them.

So he thought that he should take this last opportunity to leave the Five-Colored Divine Light, a divine power, for the Phoenix Clan and make a final contribution.

In the end, Kong Xuan somehow managed to discover Yang Xuan's location.

Clearly, among those inside and outside the Three Mountains Pass, Yang Xuan is the one most worthy of being entrusted with the task of passing on his legacy.

He did not trust the Chan sect.

He didn't trust the Jie Sect either.

He also couldn't trust the human race.

But Yang Xuan is different. Over the years, Yang Xuan has provided considerable help to the Phoenix Clan, either directly or indirectly.

In fact, Yang Xuan had provided some assistance in enabling the Phoenix Clan to establish connections with the Human Clan.

The Phoenix Clan's Qingluan, Zhu Jiu, and Yang Xuan have a close relationship. Among all the beings in the prehistoric world, Yang Xuan's relationship with the Phoenix Clan can be said to be the deepest.

Moreover, Yang Xuan is now extremely famous. Regardless of whether his reputation is good or bad, it is certain that Yang Xuan is a person who values ​​cause and effect.
Kong Xuan entrusted the Five-Colored Divine Light Great Divine Power to Yang Xuan, whom he trusted!
Yang Xuan understood Kong Xuan's meaning. After receiving the five-colored divine light, he had already made a decision: as long as it was within his power and the cause and effect were equal, he would provide corresponding assistance.

As for whether doing so would offend the two Western Saints, he didn't care.

Whether it's the future competition between the divine and Buddhist sects, or Zhunti's attempt to forcibly save Yang Xuan from karma, Yang Xuan cannot stand on the same side as the two Western Saints.

Since we are destined to be rivals, why bother about the thoughts of the two Western Saints? Making them uncomfortable is actually a good thing.

Now that he sees that this five-colored divine light contains the inheritance of the five-colored divine light, it suits Yang Xuan's wishes even better.

He could easily use the opportunity of teaching the Phoenix Clan the Five-Colored Divine Light to intervene in the Phoenix Clan's internal affairs and find a way to eliminate the Western Sect's spies.

Zhunti went to great lengths to subdue Kong Xuan, surely for reasons beyond what was explicitly stated.

Over the years, Yang Xuan has become aware of the Western Religion's arrangements in the Sea of ​​Blood.

In his view, the Western Sect's main objective was to convert Kong Xuan, a quasi-saint, and another important objective was to use this as a breakthrough to subdue the Phoenix Clan.

Regardless of whether the two Western Saints intended this to be the case, Yang Xuan now has a legitimate reason to intervene.

But before taking action, it would be best to find a successor for Kong Xuan to pass on the Five-Colored Divine Light supernatural power.

As long as Yang Xuan is willing to invest the resources and provide some Enlightenment Essence Liquid as an aid, the Phoenix Clan members can quickly master the basics.

Speaking of the Phoenix Clan, the one Yang Xuan was closest to was naturally the fat bird beneath him, the Azure Phoenix, who was once the Queen Mother of the West's mount and was now given to Yang Xuan by the Queen Mother of the West as his mount.

"Your Majesty, would you like some?"

Qingluan noticed Yang Xuan's gaze, and put half a spirit fruit into her mouth with her left hand that stretched out from under her wing.

Reaching his right hand into the feathers on his abdomen, he took out another spiritual fruit, rubbed it against his chest, and stretched it out like rubber, forming a huge arc, before handing it to Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan: ...

If Kong Xuan knew that his Five-Colored Divine Light had been passed down to Qingluan, one wonders what his reaction would be...

"Hmm... Perhaps, from the perspective of the Phoenix Clan's aesthetics, the inheritance of the Five-Colored Divine Light to the Azure Phoenix can be considered as having found its rightful master."

Recalling my understanding of the Phoenix Clan over the years, images of peculiar creatures like the Azure Phoenix and Zhu Jiu, who often appeared in bird form but possessed two slender arms, came to mind.
Yang Xuan suddenly felt that perhaps Kong Xuan, Gui Che, and other quasi-saints of the Phoenix Clan were like this in private. Therefore, passing on the Five-Colored Divine Light to Qing Luan might be exactly what Kong Xuan wanted.

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, banishing these strange images from his mind. He took the spiritual fruit offered by Qingluan, took a bite, and casually asked:
"Would you like to learn Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light?"

"No!" However, to Yang Xuan's surprise, Qingluan rejected the idea of ​​learning the Five-Colored Divine Light without even thinking about it.

"Why?" Yang Xuan was slightly taken aback and asked, puzzled.

The Five-Colored Divine Light is a powerful divine ability. Among the countless beings in the primordial world, very few can master such a powerful divine ability.
Even among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, only a very small percentage can master a great supernatural power.

Logically speaking, even a disciple of a sage would be extremely excited and eager to learn a great supernatural power, and would never refuse.

Qingluan, on the other hand, not only refused, but refused so decisively, without even thinking about it, which completely surprised Yang Xuan.

"This is a great supernatural power, and it's very difficult to learn. The Five-Colored Divine Light of Ancestor Kong Xuan is even more difficult to learn. We can't learn it."

Qingluan took a bite of the spiritual fruit, her eyes shining, and said matter-of-factly.

"You haven't even looked at the cultivation method for the Five-Colored Divine Light, how do you know it's difficult to learn?" Yang Xuan asked.

He suddenly realized that his understanding of the Phoenix Clan was still not deep enough.
Perhaps these phoenixes, who are heroic and majestic in mythology but actually have strange appearances, also have some special racial characteristics.

Perhaps the reason Kong Xuan passed on the cultivation method of the Five-Colored Divine Light to Yang Xuan was because he had once tried to find a successor for this great supernatural power, but ultimately failed.

Qingluan's subsequent answer confirmed Yang Xuan's conjecture.

"Ancestor Kong Xuan told us the essentials of cultivating the Five-Colored Divine Light many years ago, and also said that as long as one enters the Innate Five Elements Great Dao, one can seek him out to learn the Five-Colored Divine Light."
However, to comprehend the innate Five Elements Dao, one needs to understand the five innate Daos of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

This kind of thing is really troublesome, especially the Great Dao of Water. Asking us to comprehend this Great Dao is just asking the impossible.

So in the end, no one signed up anymore. Anyway, we don't want to learn the Five-Colored Divine Light. If you want to learn it, Your Majesty, then learn it yourself. We just don't want to learn it.

Qingluan remained as nonchalant as ever, casually remarking while eating the spiritual fruit.

It seemed that in her heart, the allure of the Five-Colored Divine Light was not as great as the spiritual fruit in her mouth.

It must be said that the Phoenix Clan is truly one of the most unique races in the prehistoric world, and it's no wonder that later generations regarded birds as creatures that symbolize freedom.

Perhaps in the Phoenix Clan's mind, living freely and happily is more important than learning a great supernatural power.

"So this is Kong Xuan's real purpose. No one in the Phoenix Clan is willing to learn the Five-Colored Divine Light, so you wanted me to help you, didn't you..."

Yang Xuan shook his head and smiled. He had a vague feeling that even if today's incident hadn't happened, Kong Xuan would most likely have come to him in the future asking for his help, and he probably wouldn't have refused.

Objectively speaking, Yang Xuan quite liked the Phoenix Clan's personality.

In Yang Xuan's preconceived notion, the Phoenix Clan should be a proud and arrogant race.

It's true that the Phoenix Clan is proud, but they are not arrogant.

To be precise, they simply yearn for freedom and don't want to waste too much time and energy on certain things, which may be why they give people the illusion of being arrogant.

Over the years, through direct and indirect interactions, Yang Xuan has developed a positive impression of the Phoenix Clan's personality and feels no pressure from them.

Of course, Yang Xuan couldn't quite understand some of the Phoenix Clan's thought processes.

For example, the way Qingluan secretly enjoyed picking and tasting the spiritual fruits.

For example, the Azure Phoenix stores its spiritual fruits and treasures either under the feathers on its abdomen or simply in its mouth.

For example, Qingluan didn't even want to learn the great supernatural power of Five-Colored Divine Light because it was troublesome. How could that be allowed?
If the Phoenix Clan is like this, how can Yang Xuan pass on this supernatural power? How can this cause and effect be resolved?
How can we intervene in the Phoenix Clan's internal affairs, take this opportunity to eliminate the Western Sect's spies, and sabotage the Western Sect's plans?
However, Yang Xuan always believed in fairness and voluntariness, so if Qingluan was truly unwilling, he would not force her excessively.

"Azure Phoenix," Yang Xuan leaned down slightly, gently stroking the feathers on Azure Phoenix's neck, his voice gentle. "Have you gained weight recently?"

"Gah? Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Under Yang Xuan's gentle touch, the feathers on Qingluan's neck stood on end, and its whole body stiffened, vividly demonstrating what it means to have its feathers bristling.

She had been with Yang Xuan for many years, and although she often sneaked into the garden to pick spiritual fruits and taste their deliciousness, she did not always stay by Yang Xuan's side.

But over the years, she has come to know Yang Xuan quite well.

As the saying goes, something unusual is bound to happen. Yang Xuan's behavior was more than just unusual; it was practically unprecedented.

This made Qingluan extremely uneasy, fearing that Yang Xuan might suddenly have a strange idea and intend to taste Qingluan's flesh and blood.

"It's alright, don't be afraid." Yang Xuan's tone remained gentle, and his stroking of the feathers was still tender.

"I just feel that you've been eating a bit too much lately. If you don't exercise more, it might not be good for your health."

So I thought, for the next while, you shouldn't eat any more spirit fruits, lest it harm your health."

"Gah?!!" Qingluan's eyes widened in surprise.

Are you going to cut off our spiritual fruits? We might as well taste the flesh and blood of the Azure Phoenix, eat a roasted Azure Phoenix leg, or stew Azure Phoenix meat!
Flesh and blood can grow back, but if the spiritual fruit is gone... what's the point of living?!

Qingluan's behavior was simply different from ordinary people, and her thought process was rather unique. She was not stupid or lacked common sense, and she quickly understood Yang Xuan's intention.

After a moment of internal struggle, Qingluan turned her head slowly, staring with her two round eyes, and asked:
"Your Majesty, if we want to learn the Five-Colored Divine Power now, can we continue to eat this spiritual fruit?"

"Of course." Yang Xuan nodded, a faint smile on his face.

“Cultivating supernatural powers is a very demanding task, and it wouldn’t be possible without the nourishment of spiritual fruits. If you study supernatural powers well, you can eat as many spiritual fruits as you like from the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and here at my place.”

“Of course…” Yang Xuan paused slightly, looked Qingluan up and down, and said seriously:
"I never force people to do things against their will. If you are not doing this voluntarily, there is no need to force you. If you do not want to learn, it is fine not to learn."

Qingluan: ...

If we really don't learn, I'm afraid we'll never get to eat a spiritual fruit in this lifetime...

Qingluan nodded heavily, revealing a sincere expression, "The Five-Colored Divine Light is a great supernatural power. We definitely did it voluntarily. It has nothing to do with the Emperor, the spiritual fruit, or anything like that."

"Since you are so sincere, then I will impart this Five-Colored Divine Light Great Divine Power to you. I hope you will not disappoint Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan's good intentions."

Having said that, Yang Xuan smiled slightly, glanced in the direction of Sanshan Pass, and after calculating the time, temporarily put aside the matter of the Investiture of the Gods.

Exercising the authority of the Sun Star, and under the sunlight, he returned to the Heavenly Court's Temple of Fate, brewed a pot of Enlightenment Source Tea, and together with Qingluan, comprehended the Great Divine Power of the Five-Colored Divine Light...
