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

Chapter 424 The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is activated, and the Four Sages arrive together!
The Nine Provinces, Lintong Pass.

The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced subtly at the small hill where Yang Xuan was, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face.

The reason why the Daoist voice beside Yang Xuan was so clear was indeed intentionally done by the Tongtian Sect Leader.

In the matter of the Jie Sect's conferment of gods, Yang Xuan made many contributions to the sect, not only saving the lives of Jin Guang Shengmu, Shi Ji, Zhao Gongming, and others.

He also lent the Karmic Fire Lotus to the Jie Sect to eliminate their karma, ultimately allowing them to seize that sliver of hope.

Even if the Tongtian Sect Leader could gain some enlightenment and realize that in order to cut off a glimmer of hope for all living beings, he should not be confined to the Jie Sect itself, but should look to the entire prehistoric world.

Yang Xuan played a crucial role in all of these matters.

Now that the Tongtian Sect mainly preaches to the disciples of the Jie Sect, and since the composite formation was created by Yang Xuan and happens to be nearby, he naturally wants to provide some assistance.

Although he didn't know what Yang Xuan had gained from this lecture, it was easy to tell from Yang Xuan's expression that the gain was definitely not small.

Combined with Yang Xuan's extraordinary comprehension, his gains this time may be even greater than he imagined. After digesting these gains, he will be able to achieve remarkable mastery in the art of array formations.

The Master of Heaven did not seek confirmation from Yang Xuan, and even acted as if he hadn't seen Yang Xuan.

After concluding his sermon, he instructed Bixiao, Jinling Shengmu, and other disciples of the Jie Sect to further deduce and perfect the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, incorporating the concept of the composite formation.

The disciples of the Bixiao Intercepting Sect truly failed to detect Yang Xuan's presence. Even with a Quasi-Saint present, thanks to the Heavenly Mystery Pearl, such a secret would remain undetected.

Unbeknownst to them, during this sermon, there was a being from outside the Jie Sect who gained even more than they did.

However, if they knew, they would quickly feel relieved and take it for granted.

After all, how bad could someone's cultivation in array formation be if they could create a complex array?
Especially after listening to the sermon of the Tongtian Sect Leader and gaining a deeper understanding of the Composite Dao, they had even greater respect for Yang Xuan.

This can already be considered a completely new school of thought, opening up a new path in the art of array formations. If used properly, it can enable them to achieve higher levels of mastery in the art of array formations!

They felt they couldn't do it, and they were increasingly disappointed that Yang Xuan hadn't joined the Jie Sect.

After some reflection, they began to further refine the Myriad Immortals Formation. The Tongtian Sect Leader did not directly participate, but occasionally offered a few pointers.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is a closely guarded secret of the Jie Sect. Anyone who has perfected this formation will not be able to hear a single word of conversation among the surrounding human race members.

Of course, Yang Xuan was an exception.

Although Yang Xuan never joined the Jiejiao sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not treat him as an outsider.

Putting everything else aside, with Bixiao's connection, even if Yang Xuan didn't join the Jie Sect, he would still be considered half a member of the Jie Sect.

The Tongtian Sect Leader wasn't some old-fashioned person who only knew how to cultivate Taoism and fight; there were things that Nuwa could understand, and he could see as well.

Moreover, since we have already preached, why would we miss such a rare opportunity to put it into practice?
More than three thousand years passed before the disciples of the Jie Sect finally stopped their discussions and further improved the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Although it is still a long way from achieving the unification of all formations, it has managed to combine the myriad formations and the myriad immortals, greatly increasing the power of the Myriad Immortals Formation.

The reason they don't continue to improve and achieve the unification of all formations is that it would take far too long. Even if they worked together to deduce it, they would still need to use the Yuanhui as the unit.

They are still in the midst of a great tribulation, while the Western Zhou army has already reached outside Lintong Pass.
Seeing so many Jie Sect immortals gathered here, they did not rush forward, but they could not wait indefinitely.

If the immortals of the Chan Sect recover their condition further, they will definitely take the initiative to send troops.

After all, after giving his sermon, the Tongtian Sect Leader concealed his aura, and no one except the disciples of the Jie Sect and Yang Xuan could see him.

In the eyes of the disciples of the Chan Sect, there were only disciples of the Jie Sect here, no Tongtian Sect Leader, and no great formation set up.

Although their numbers were fewer than those of the Jie Sect and their condition was worse, they remained fearless.

The Jie Sect excels in formations, while the Chan Sect excels in weaponry. The spiritual treasures they possess are a tremendous advantage that the Jie Sect cannot match.

More importantly, as Xiqi continued to win victories, especially after the battle at the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Xiqi's fortune grew increasingly strong.
For those in the Chan Sect who cultivate the Jade Purity Immortal Light, receiving the blessing of good fortune and acting in accordance with Heaven's will be like receiving divine assistance.

Although they were seriously injured, they still possessed considerable fighting power. At least in their view, they would not lose even if they fought against these Jie Sect immortals!

Knowing that time was running out and it was impossible to further improve the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, the immortals of the Jie Sect stopped their deductions and used their supernatural powers to create a layer of mist to begin setting up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

Meanwhile, Duobao, Jinling, and Guiling, carrying the invitation from Tongtian Jiaozhu, traveled by light to Shouyang Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, and Xumi Mountain.

The disciples of the Chan Sect outside Lintong Pass were also somewhat surprised and uncertain upon seeing this situation. After some conversation, they chose to wait and see.

On the top of the mountain in the distance.

Yang Xuan watched the departing figures of Jinling Shengmu and the other two, and sighed.

"This is really going to be the end..."

Yang Xuan knew the mission of the Golden Spirit Mother and the other two, and also knew what would happen next, in conjunction with the evolution of the Three Realms in the primordial world.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Grand Array of Ten Thousand Immortals signifies both the end of the Investiture of the Gods war and the beginning of the evolution of the Three Realms in the primordial world.

After this battle, the end of the Investiture of the Gods calamity will not be far off.

"How about we get involved a little..."

Yang Xuan looked inward at his spiritual platform, his brows furrowing slightly.

In order to sever his evil corpse as soon as possible, Yang Xuan cultivated the Great Tribulation Corpse-Severing Technique, hoping to use the Investiture of the Gods calamity to sever his evil corpse.

However, he acted too hastily, and although he accomplished a great deal, he did not directly participate in the Great Tribulation.

His only act of violence was against Lu Ya, the crown prince of the demon race, and he even left the latter a sliver of hope.
As a result, the seed of evil in Yang Xuanling's mind was never broken.

If he cannot break free from the seeds of evil and sever the evil corpse in this final stage, then after the great calamity ends, his Great Calamity Corpse-Slaying Technique will be considered half a failure.
To slay the evil corpse again, it would take at least several tens of yuan.

"Evil thoughts, evil thoughts..."

Yang Xuan lowered his eyes, tapped his knee with his fingers, making a rhythmic, peculiar sound, like a drumbeat or a heartbeat, as if he were lost in thought.

……

Kunlun Mountains.

The White Crane Boy rode the wind and clouds into the inner palace of Jade Void, where he respectfully bowed to the Primordial Sage on the cloud platform and presented a letter of greeting.

"Master, Senior Brother Duobao has sent a visiting card, saying that Uncle Tongtian has set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation outside Lintong Pass and invites you to go and break the formation."

"..."

Yuanshi Tianzun accepted the visiting card, looked at the brief text on it, and remained silent.

After a long while, Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand, dismissing the White Crane Boy, and looked up at the Nine Provinces, remaining silent.

And so, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, like a divine statue, gazed upon the Nine Provinces. After an unknown period of time, he finally sighed.

……

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Taiqing sat on the fire-and-wind futon, his spirit wandering beyond the heavens, without joy or sorrow.

At this moment, the Golden Horned Boy came running back with his short legs, presenting a visiting card with both hands.

"master……"

"I understand."

The Sage of Taiqing accepted the visiting card, placed it aside, and looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless distances, landing in the chaos. After a long while, the Sage of Taiqing slowly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes again, and said nothing, his thoughts unreadable.

……

At the summit of Mount Sumeru.

The guide, seated cross-legged on the golden lotus of merit, set down the visiting card in his hand, a compassionate smile on his face. He turned to look at the gaunt Taoist priest sitting cross-legged beneath the ancient Bodhi tree beside him and asked:
"Junior brother, what should we do about Tongtian's invitation?"

Beneath the towering Bodhi tree, seemingly reaching straight to the heavens, Zhunti sat suspended in mid-air, a sorrowful expression on his face. He looked up towards Lintong Pass and smiled slightly:

"In my humble opinion, the disciples of the Jie Sect are destined to be connected with my Western Paradise. Three thousand mortals will enter my Mount Sumeru and receive the supreme Western Daoist teachings!"

“Good. Only by entering my Western Paradise can you attain liberation. This is the right path!” The guide nodded in agreement.

In just a few words, the two made a decision.

……

Another thousand years passed, and with the deployment of the Myriad Immortals Formation, the calamity aura in the primordial world grew increasingly intense.

By this time, even ordinary Great Luo Immortals could vaguely sense that the Xuanmen God Conferment was nearing its end and the Great Tribulation was about to pass.

This day.

The last pass between Xiqi and Chaoge is Lintong Pass.

A massive array covering the entire Nine Provinces slowly unfolded, within which baleful energy was as deep as an abyss, blood energy as vast as the sea, and calamity energy raged.

The Yellow River flows swiftly within, and a square golden cauldron serves as the array's core, radiating boundless pure and celestial light, causing white lotuses to bloom on the surface of the Yellow River.

A seven-fragrant chariot, driven by thunder and stars, travels through it, as if the starry sky has appeared on earth.

A tortoise-like shadow, as tall as the Five Sacred Mountains, looms over the earth, suppressing countless regions...

Furthermore, a cyan sword hung above the array's core, releasing boundless sword intent. It seemed as if the space itself could not bear this sword intent, emitting a crisp sound as if it could not withstand the burden.

The Master of the Heavenly Sect sat cross-legged to the side, eyes closed in meditation, expressionless.

Everyone knows that Tongtian possesses the Four Swords of Zhuxian, but few know that Qingping is his true sword!

The Tongtian Sect Master is unparalleled in both swordsmanship and formations. The Zhuxian Sword Formation is his representative in the art of formations, while the Qingping Sword is his embodiment in the art of swordsmanship.

Although the Zhuxian Formation Diagram was damaged and the Xianxian Sword, Juexian Sword, and Luxian Sword fell into the hands of the Chan Sect, this does not mean that the Tongtian Sect Leader was powerless to fight.

Om-!
Just then, the Tongtian Sect Leader sensed something, slowly opened his eyes, sword light flashed in his eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

coming!

Suddenly, a vast expanse of purple energy appeared in the primordial sky, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, surging towards Lintong Pass from the Eight Views Palace, Jade Void Palace, and Mount Sumeru.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sat cross-legged on the Nine-Dragon Sandalwood Chariot, the Supreme Saint rode backward on a green ox, and Jieyin and Zhunti sat cross-legged on the Golden Lotus of Merit.

Along the way, the air was filled with exotic fragrances and the sky was ablaze with colorful clouds. Hundreds of millions of people bowed down in worship and cried out for the saint's mercy.

"Fancy!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader snorted coldly. If it's going to be a show, then let's go all the way.

The Tongtian Sect Leader flicked his finger and struck the spine of the Qingping Sword, producing a resounding clang. Boundless sword intent pierced through the primordial world, shattering the extraordinary phenomenon of the sage's journey.

hiss--!
All living beings watching this scene gasped in shock. The Tongtian Sect Leader's flick of his finger showed absolutely no respect for the four saints.

Taiqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti might not feel much, but Yuanshi Tianzun was always very concerned about his reputation.

By doing this, isn't Tongtian Jiaozhu slapping Yuanshi Tianzun in the face?

A single sword intent was enough to confirm to the onlookers that when Yuanshi Tianzun summoned the three sages Taiqing, Jieyin, and Zhunti to break the formation, he had thoroughly angered Tongtian Jiaozhu.

Since then, the Three Pure Ones have separated, and the saying "Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves, the three religions were originally one family" has truly become a thing of the past.

In response, all living beings reacted differently.

Some people felt sorry, thinking it was a real pity that the Three Pure Ones had come to this.

Some people are gloating, thinking that the suppression by the three major sects of Taoism will lessen, and they will have more opportunities in the future.

Yang Xuan sat cross-legged on a hilltop outside Lintong Pass, but his attention was not on the Three Pure Ones. Instead, he looked at the golden lotus of merit beneath Jieyin and Zhunti, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Why aren't they placing the Golden Lotus of Merit on Mount Sumeru to suppress its influence, instead of carrying this treasure around everywhere..."

Logically speaking, objects used to suppress fortune are usually placed in the temple to suppress fortune and are not easily moved.

It is certain that the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit is an object used by the Western Religion to suppress fortune, and it will also be used by Buddhism to suppress fortune when it is established in the future.

However, it seems somewhat unusual that the guide always brings merit with him on his journeys.

With so many magical treasures available in the Western religion, why does it have to be the Golden Lotus of Merit? Couldn't it be something else?

"Hmm...maybe it really is unavoidable to bring it..."

Yang Xuan observed the unusual phenomena surrounding Jieyin and Zhunti and began to speculate.

Although the West is barren, the Western Religion is a sect of saints, and the two Western Saints often plunder in various parts of the prehistoric world.

The West may be impoverished, but that doesn't mean Western religions are impoverished. Western religions certainly don't lack spiritual treasures and objects.

Otherwise, how could Western religions cultivate so many spies? Could they really just rely on empty words to deceive people?

This is obviously impossible. Even if the two Western Saints could force living beings to enter the West, whether they could make these living beings serve the West is another matter entirely.

However, the Western Religion is not considered impoverished, at least in terms of its followers.

For the two Western Saints, it was indeed quite barren; there were very few spiritual beings that matched their status.

If the twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit were placed on Mount Sumeru, they would only be able to travel by riding on clouds, which would not have been a problem in the past.

But now, if they were to ride the clouds, wouldn't they be overshadowing the two sages, Taiqing and Yuqing?

How could they possibly miss such a rare opportunity to manifest their divine power, and how could they possibly make such a mistake?

To the other creatures in the primordial world, the fact that the two Western Saints were traveling with the Golden Lotus of Merit was nothing to be concerned about.

But Yang Xuan is different. If the Golden Lotus of Merit is not in the Western Sect, then his next plan will have no target to implement.

Moreover, this result is different from the rumors from my previous life.

"Perhaps, the time is not right yet..."

Suddenly, Yang Xuan thought of something, his eyes flashed slightly, his Dao heart gradually calmed down, and he turned his gaze to the Myriad Immortals Formation. He took out the Ruler of Rules and held it in his hand, having made a decision in his heart.

This is his last chance. If he cannot break through the shell and sever the corpse, all the Great Tribulation Corpse-Severing Technique he has cultivated over the years will be wasted. He will need to spend a lot more time to become a Quasi-Saint, which is something he cannot accept.

Of course, he wouldn't act rashly; he had to act at the right time to generate enough evil intent to slay the evil corpse.

As for the timing, Yang Xuan already had an idea, and not just one.
