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

Chapter 426 Yang Xuan Saves the Day, It's Fate That Were Destined!
"mean!!!"

Golden Spirit Mother's heart rang with alarm bells. She turned her head and saw that the Burning Lamp Taoist had used the Qiankun Ruler to tear through the void and teleport above her head.

With immense magical power, he activated the golden alms bowl, unleashing tremendous force as it slammed down towards her head.

Now, the Holy Mother Jinling has just forced back Yun Zhongzi and his two companions and two beasts, and is seriously injured and lacking in strength, making it difficult for her to withstand the full force of the Burning Lamp Daoist's attack.

If they were to suffer such an attack, even if they survived, they would be severely injured and have no chance of escaping. They would surely die at the hands of these treacherous Chan Sect members.

Seeing that she was about to perish on the spot, her body and soul extinguished, the Golden Spirit Mother turned her four heads and looked at Yun Zhongzi not far away. All eight of her eyes turned blood red, and her face showed a look of madness.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! This is truly a master of the Chan Sect, a 'master who has attained enlightenment.' I have learned a great deal today!"

The Golden Spirit Mother's entire body surged with magical power, as if she were standing in a raging wind, her clothes fluttering loudly.

Regardless of the torrents of water from all four seas, and disregarding the golden alms bowl crashing down upon them,

He slapped the Seven Fragrances Chariot with both hands, and with a single step forward, he traversed the space before him, arriving in front of Yun Zhongzi.
He tossed out the Dragon-Tiger Jade Ruyi, shattering Yun Zhongzi's protective divine light.

With one hand, he wielded the flying golden sword, slashing down and scattering the water and fire flower baskets.
With one hand, he summoned the Four Symbols Pagoda, from which the phantoms of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise descended, suppressing the surrounding space.

Immediately afterwards, the Golden Spirit Mother stepped forward, stomping on the Demon-Revealing Mirror atop Yun Zhongzi's head, rendering him unable to break free or move.

They could only watch as the Golden Spirit Mother chanted incantations with her four heads and formed hand seals with her five arms, drawing upon the power of the celestial bodies.
Carrying boundless starlight, it fell from the ancient starry sky, pierced through the Great Array of Ten Thousand Immortals, and descended towards the Golden Spirit Mother and Yun Zhongzi, clearly in a posture of mutual destruction.

"Thief, come join me on the list!!"

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit laughed loudly, stepping on Yun Zhongzi, with boundless starlight above her head, ignoring the supernatural powers of Randeng, Cihang and others.

Such a scene is truly awe-inspiring and powerful; she is indeed worthy of being the future Doumu Yuanjun!
"My life is at an end..."

Upon seeing this scene, Yun Zhongzi was reminded of many images that flashed through his mind, all of which were scenes of killing the Jie Sect immortals after arriving in Kyushu.

Among the immortals of the Jie Sect he killed were those with heavy karma who deserved to die, and also innocent people with little karma.
Many members of the human race even died at his hands, just like back in the Battle of the Deer Plains.

Consumed by karma, Yun Zhongzi didn't think much of it, believing that these beings died at his hands, and that it was their fate to suffer this calamity, so he couldn't blame them.

Only now, as he is about to die and his spiritual essence dissipates, has he come to realize that this journey has also been his destiny.

"Ugh!"

Yun Zhongzi sighed. Ever since Lei Zhenzi's death, he had been unaware that he was in the midst of a calamity. Otherwise, Yuanshi Tianzun would not have bestowed the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi so readily.

"Between you and me, there is no longer any cause and effect..."

Under the endless starlight, Yun Zhongzi's figure gradually became illusory, eventually turning into ashes and dissipating into the world. Only a wisp of his soul remained, carried by the true spirit, and escaped into the void, thus being listed on the Investiture of the Gods.

From this point on, the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect perished.

The Golden Spirit Mother was not faring well either. Under the starlight, her breath was weak, her face was pale, and her hair was disheveled. She looked quite wretched and was already seriously injured. It was no longer possible for her to block the Purple Gold Bowl.

She stood still, raised her head, glanced at the Taoist Ran Deng above her, and showed a look of disdain.

"Six against one, and you still have to resort to a sneak attack. No wonder you, the vice leader of the Chan Sect, aren't even a quasi-saint. With such a mindset, what kind of immortality are you trying to cultivate? Go home and farm."

It must be said that the Golden Spirit Mother's talkativeness is truly aggressive; with just this one casual remark, she made the Burning Lamp Daoist's face turn slightly red.

His failure to break through to the Quasi-Saint level, and the discrepancy between his cultivation and rank, had always been a source of unease for him. He often thought that if the Primordial Celestial Venerable had been able to lend a helping hand, he wouldn't be in this predicament.

Fortunately, he has now found the opportunity to sever his corpse, and he is not far from becoming a quasi-saint. As for the position of vice leader of the Chan Sect, he does not care too much about it.

Even so, when the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit publicly revealed this matter, Daoist Burning Lamp was still furious, and the force in his hand increased.

dead!
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Taoist Ran Deng, and the purple-gold alms bowl slammed down with immense force.

Snap! Snap!
Even though the golden alms bowl was still some distance from the Golden Spirit Mother, the terrifying force pressed down on her, making it difficult for her to move, and her bones made a series of cracking sounds.

She knew she couldn't escape, so she didn't make any more futile struggles. She was already satisfied that she was able to send Yun Zhongzi away before she was listed.

"Our karma ends here." One of the heads of the Golden Spirit Mother looked at the place where Yun Zhongzi had turned to ashes and disappeared, and nodded slightly.

"But our karma has only just begun!" The other head of the Golden Spirit Mother looked at the Burning Lamp Daoist, smiled coldly, and waited for the moment of death to arrive.

clang--!
At this critical moment, as the Golden Spirit Mother calmly looked down, to her astonishment,
A coin, round on the outside and square on the inside, with two wings, appeared out of thin air and struck the side of the purple-gold alms bowl, making a crisp sound.

This coin appears to have no power, like a stone thrown by an ordinary person, and is in no way comparable to the terrifying power of the purple-gold alms bowl.

But what was unexpected was that this seemingly powerless coin, after striking the golden alms bowl,...
The once awe-inspiring purple-gold alms bowl, brimming with immense power, suddenly lost all its might, its divine light dimmed, and it hovered in the air, unresponsive.

"How could this be?!"

Upon seeing this, Daoist Ran Deng's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly used his magic to retrieve the purple-gold alms bowl, but his expression did not improve at all; instead, it became even more unsightly.

He was horrified to discover that the magical artifact he had refined over many years was no longer under his control.

No matter how much magic power he poured into it, the golden alms bowl did not react at all, and even showed some resistance, trying to break free from his grasp.

He had never seen such a change before, and could only put it into his sleeve and suppress it with his magic.

The Taoist Ran Deng knew that all these changes stemmed from that coin, which was caused by the supernatural power of a certain cultivator.

His eyes scanned the surroundings and he quickly spotted something suspicious.

In the distance, a young Taoist priest dressed in a bright red robe, with five overlapping golden wheels hanging behind his head and holding a ruler, could be seen.

As if strolling leisurely in a garden, yet each step covered a vast distance; in just a few steps, she arrived beside the Golden Spirit Mother. With a gentle flick of her ruler, the power of heaven and earth surged forth.

Whether it was the gushing waters of the Milky Way or the sweeping chains, they all seemed to be frozen in place by a spell, unable to move for a moment.

"Yang Xuan?"

The Taoist Ran Deng frowned slightly. He had heard from the True Man Taiyi that Yang Xuan possessed a supernatural ability that allowed him to forcibly seize other people's spiritual treasures.
I've also heard that Maitreya's human seed bag and golden cymbal were taken away by Yang Xuan using this supernatural power.

In his view, the unreasonable supernatural power of stealing other people's magical treasures must have considerable limitations. As long as one is careful and takes precautions, it is impossible to fall into the trap.

But now, he doesn't think so anymore...

The current state of the Purple Gold Bowl is clearly due to Yang Xuan. He almost fell victim to Yang Xuan's attack without even seeing him. If the two were engaged in a magical battle, it's hard to say he could have defended himself.

The expression on Daoist Ran Deng's face changed slightly. He gripped the Qiankun Ruler in his hand, looked at Yang Xuan, and asked in a deep voice:

"The investiture of gods in the Xuanmen sect was a matter ordained by the Dao Ancestor. Why did you interfere in this matter and save Jin Ling?"

Yang Xuan remained calm, a faint smile playing on his lips. Ignoring the threat in Ran Deng Dao Ren's words, he spoke in a flat tone:

"I felt that Fellow Daoist Jinling and I were destined to meet, and that we might have some karmic connection in the future, so I lent a helping hand."

Dipankara, Cihang, Samantabhadra: ? ? ?

Golden-haired lion, white jade elephant: ? ? ?
Golden Spirit Mother: ? ? ?
What does it mean that you felt a connection, so you took action?

Everyone around was visibly stunned when they heard Yang Xuan's words, as if a big question mark had appeared above their heads.

Yang Xuan's tone was very calm, as if he were greeting a neighbor, and had nothing to do with being domineering.

But his tone, the content he said, and the things he did—that's true domineering.

This is like in later times, when everyone is criticizing certain people or things online, but then someone says, "I think this person did something wrong, this person deserves to die," and then...

That person really died!

Yang Xuan's words clearly meant that he felt Jin Ling was destined to be with him and shouldn't die, so they shouldn't make a move.

The contrast between speaking in the most calm tone and uttering words that leave no room for argument is truly astounding.
The key point is that after Yang Xuan arrived, he first dealt with the fatal blow from the Purple Gold Bowl, and then immobilized Cihang and Puxian's supernatural powers and spiritual treasures. It seems that he really does have this ability.

However, Yang Xuan's statement is a bit too arrogant!

However, Yang Xuan ignored the crowd's reactions, bowed to Randeng, Cihang, and the others, and said in his usual calm tone:

"Please give me some face, everyone."

"What if I refuse?"

The Taoist Ran Deng narrowed his eyes slightly, gripping the Qiankun Ruler in his hand. He was determined not to let the Golden Spirit Mother go just because of Yang Xuan's words.

If he just backs down like this, won't he become another laughing stock in the future?
Cihang and Puxian are the same. Now that Yunzhongzi has died at the hands of Jinling Shengmu, how can they just leave like this? Don't they have any dignity?

"You can try it."

Yang Xuan maintained his calm tone, and as he spoke, he flipped his left hand up, revealing the Causality Balance Instrument in his hand.

The coin flew back at that moment and landed on the scale pan on the left with a 'clang'.

When Randeng, Cihang, and the others saw the appearance of the Cause and Effect Balance Instrument, they should have felt uneasy. When the Treasure Coins fell onto the scale, their gazes became even more intense.

When Yang Xuan held the Causal Balance Instrument and his gaze swept over them, their expressions changed drastically. They gripped their magical treasures tightly and subconsciously took a step back.

To their horror, they discovered that when Yang Xuan looked at them, the magical treasures in their hands paused for a moment, their divine light dimming slightly!
They seriously suspected that if Yang Xuan glanced at it a few more times, the spiritual treasures they had been refining for many years might become uncontrollable.

What kind of supernatural power is this? It's utterly absurd!

They had all heard from the Immortal Taiyi that Yang Xuan possessed a supernatural ability to forcibly seize other people's spiritual treasures.
Their initial thoughts were the same as those of the Taoist Ran Deng: they believed that even with the assistance of special spiritual treasures, such supernatural powers would certainly have many limitations.

As long as one knows that Yang Xuan possesses this supernatural ability, and prepares a safe place in advance, it will be impossible to fall into his trap.

But now, they dare not hold that thought anymore.

Yang Xuan only glanced at it, and their magical treasures reacted. How could they possibly guard against that?

Before understanding Yang Xuan's supernatural power, they dared not activate their spiritual treasures in front of him, fearing that their spiritual treasures would also be lost forever, just like the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover and the Human Seed Bag.

As for not using spiritual treasures to fight Yang Xuan... that doesn't seem like a very rational thing to do.

Ran Deng and the others glanced at the chains and the Milky Way water that Yang Xuan had pinned in the air, and a hint of apprehension flashed in their eyes.

At that time, Yang Xuan simply waved the rule ruler in his hand, and the chains and the water of the Milky Way were fixed in place. He did this by mobilizing the power of heaven and earth to fix them.

Without special supernatural powers and magical treasures, even a quasi-saint would find it difficult to mobilize the power of heaven and earth. This one move alone is enough to prove Yang Xuan's strength.

Moreover, they could clearly sense that, despite both being in the Nine Provinces, the Nine Cauldrons Formation did not exert any suppression on Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuan is unaffected!
Although they were reluctant to admit it, Yang Xuan's strength seemed to be much greater than theirs. In addition, he was not affected by the Nine Cauldrons Formation, and they dared not use their spiritual treasures. How could they possibly fight him?
Ran Deng and the others exchanged glances, said nothing harsh, and slowly retreated to a distance, but did not leave.

This is as if to say, "We're not afraid of Yang Xuan, we're just waiting for the right time, so we've chosen to stop. When the time is right, we'll naturally take action."

Yang Xuan didn't care about these things; as long as he could achieve his goal, that was enough.

Only then did the Golden Spirit Mother come to her senses, and she looked at Yang Xuan with a strange gaze, a mixture of shock and confusion.

This was the first time she had met Yang Xuan, and she truly couldn't understand why Yang Xuan would risk offending the Chan Sect by suddenly entering the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation and rescuing her from the clutches of Daoist Ran Deng.

She did know that Yang Jiao and Yang Xuan's incense and golden statues were related, but such a small amount of karma was not enough to warrant Yang Xuan's help.

After a moment of silence, she managed to suppress a string of questions that almost spilled out, and instead bowed to Yang Xuan, expressing her gratitude:
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. If you ever need anything in the future, I will do my best to help you."

"Don't worry about it." Yang Xuan waved his hand, a faint smile on his face, and said calmly:
"As I said, I felt I had a connection with you, fellow Daoist, and that there might be some karmic ties in the future, which is why I chose to lend a helping hand."

If my intuition is correct, and we become entangled in karma in the future, you will have your own opportunity to intervene.

If I am mistaken, there is no need to dwell on today's events.

Yang Xuan wasn't just talking nonsense; he genuinely chose to help because of the future consequences.

The Golden Spirit Mother is the future Doumu Yuanjun, responsible for governing the stars in the heavens.

If Yang Xuan could obtain the assistance of the Golden Spirit Mother, it would be much easier for him to repair the ancient starry sky, set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, and become the Lord of the Starry Sky.

With this cause and effect in place, when Yang Xuan comes to ask for help, how could the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit not lend a hand?

Furthermore, interfering with the plans of Daoist Ran Deng was also a form of evil intention.
