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

Chapter 430 I used the Five Virtues as a bargaining chip to exchange for everything you have!
Facing the combined attack of Lingji and Mahasthamaprapta, Yang Xuan showed no fear and didn't even glance at them.

His current foundation is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with forty-six restrictions, and he has also cultivated the Five Virtues Profound Art Qi and Blood Chapter.
With his current physical body, even if he stood still and let a Grand Luo Golden Immortal attack him, it would be difficult to cause him any substantial damage.

Lingji and Mahasthamaprapta's attacks seemed fierce and imposing, but in Yang Xuan's eyes, they were nothing special and posed no threat whatsoever.

Moreover, no matter how strong the attack is, it has to hit someone to cause damage; if it can't hit, then it's all for nothing.

Coincidentally, Yang Xuan had the ability to prevent Ling Ji and the other person's attacks from landing on him. It was just a matter of doing it easily, and he could also keep his unique background and strong physical body a secret.

Yang Xuan slowly raised the rule ruler in his right hand. At the same time, from the Five Virtues Golden Wheel behind his head, the Holy Virtue Golden Wheel emitted a purple light that seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, which enhanced the rule ruler.

Just as Lingji and Mahasthamaprapta were less than a zhang away from Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan calmly swung the Ruler of Rules, mobilized the power of heaven and earth around him, and softly recited:

"So close to the end of the world!"

next moment.

The space between Lingji and his companion and Yang Xuan seemed to stretch infinitely; no matter how hard they tried, they could not get any closer to Yang Xuan.

Just as Yang Xuan said, though we are so close, we are worlds apart!
"How could this be?!"

Lingji and Mahasthamaprapta's expressions changed drastically; they hadn't expected such a turn of events.

They already knew from Maitreya's words that Yang Xuan had the ability to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

However, according to Maitreya, Yang Xuan's ability to mobilize the heaven and earth was limited, and it was nothing compared to the Yi Bao Divine Technique.

Therefore, they simply regarded this ability as a special kind of supernatural power and didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

Looking at it now, it's clear that it's not the same as what Maitreya said.

This can be considered a supernatural power that doesn't need to be taken seriously, as the power of heaven and earth that can be mobilized is limited.
With a simple wave of his hand, Yang Xuan controlled the rules, and countless forces of heaven and earth around him comprehended his command, stretching the surrounding space.

This prevented Lingji and Mahasthamaprapta from traversing the entire space and getting close to Yang Xuan.

To achieve this, in addition to having the ability to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, one also needs to have a remarkable understanding of the Great Dao of Space.

Based on Yang Xuan's ability to seize other people's spiritual treasures, they can be certain of one thing: Yang Xuan has a remarkable understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect.

Both the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Cause and Effect are among the most difficult Great Daos to master in the primordial world.

They couldn't understand it. Just a few months before the Yuanhui Festival, Yang Xuan wasn't even a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Now, only a short time has passed, and Yang Xuan's cultivation has not only improved to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, but he has also gained such insights into the Great Dao of Space and the Great Dao of Cause and Effect.

Moreover, since the surrounding spiritual energy was under Yang Xuan's command, Lingji and Mahasthamaprapta were able to mobilize less spiritual energy, resulting in a slight decrease in the power of their supernatural abilities and spiritual treasures.

The changing surrounding space already left them bewildered, and their strength was further weakened by the loss of spiritual energy.
To solve the problem of spatial stretching, getting close to Yang Xuan and delivering a fatal blow will become even more difficult.

After a brief moment of shock, everyone—including Lingji and Dashizhi, who were trapped by the spatial stretching, as well as Yueguang and Maitreya—had grim expressions.

They realized that Yang Xuan was able to so easily manipulate the power of heaven and earth, stretching the surrounding space.
So even if they get to Yang Xuan's side, what can they do to him?

Putting everything else aside, if Yang Xuan were to use spatial stretching again, wouldn't they still not be able to even touch the hem of Yang Xuan's clothes?

Unless one has a certain understanding of the Great Dao of Space and can solve the effect of spatial stretching, Yang Xuan is essentially invincible, and no matter how many people come, it may not be of any use.

Even more deadly is that Moonlight's Floating Pagoda can only disrupt cause and effect, making the cause and effect on the four of them chaotic and difficult to capture the cause and effect threads on them, thus restraining Yang Xuan's Treasure-Changing Divine Technique.

However, this effect only disrupts cause and effect, increasing the difficulty for Yang Xuan to use the Treasure-Changing Divine Technique to seize other people's spiritual treasures.

It's not about severing the karmic ties between them or breaking Yang Xuan's supernatural powers.

Given enough time to untangle the causal threads that have been disrupted in their lives, Yang Xuan could very well use his supernatural powers again to steal their spiritual treasures.

Having learned from Maitreya's example, Lingji, Mahasthamaprapta, and Moonlight immediately considered retreating.
They genuinely didn't want to end up like Maitreya, whose treasured artifact, refined over many years, fell into Yang Xuan's hands and turned against them.

They don't want to see this happen, nor do they want it to happen.

Rather than risk losing the magical treasure, they preferred to retreat without a fight and lose face.

But with Zhunti and Jieyin right behind them, how could they dare to do that?

If they really did that, wouldn't that be telling all living beings in the primordial world that Zhunti, this Western sage, sent four of his true disciples to learn his supernatural powers?
As a result, the four of them, even when they joined forces, couldn't even touch Yang Xuan's hair before being scared away by him. Wasn't this a slap in the face to the Western Sect and the Two Western Saints?

After some hesitation, Daishishi and Lingji abandoned their idea of ​​retreating and slammed their long-prepared attacks down into the space in front of them.

They had figured it out: since they couldn't break the spatial stretching and the effect of "a world within a small space" on the spatial avenue, they would violently smash this space.

As it turned out, their idea was correct.

With a deafening boom, the surrounding space seemed to buckle under the pressure, cracks appearing everywhere.

With just three to five more attacks, I'm sure I can break through this stretching space and get to Yang Xuan's side.

Although this prevented them from gaining the upper hand again, it at least allowed them to regain some initiative.

As for whether Yang Xuan could use the "Close to the Ends of the Earth" technique again after breaking through the stretching space, they could only gamble and hope that Yang Xuan's two spellcasting speeds wouldn't be that fast.

On the other side, Maitreya also realized that Yang Xuan was much more troublesome than when they last fought.

He swung the mallet down with all his might, sending the golden cymbals flying, and then flew over from another direction to join Lingji and Dashizhi in attacking Yang Xuan.

Moonlight did not participate in the attack on Yang Xuan. Instead, she devoted all her efforts to further amplifying the power of the Floating Pagoda and disrupting the karma surrounding the four of them.

Unless Yang Xuan's understanding of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect is comparable to that of a Quasi-Saint who is proficient in the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, it would be impossible for him to unravel the causal threads before Ling Ji and the others get close, and their spiritual treasures would not be able to be stolen.

At the same time, these dazzling golden lights were also used to resist any possible supernatural attacks from Yang Xuan.

However, they all underestimated Yang Xuan.

When Maitreya ambushed Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan's cultivation had only recently broken through to the Great Luo realm.
Now, Yang Xuan is about to break through to the Quasi-Saint level. His cultivation is higher and his supernatural powers are stronger. How can he be compared to the Yang Xuan of the past?
Lingji and others made a mistake by using the information provided by Maitreya to judge Yang Xuan.

As I said before, "I am invincible below the Quasi-Saint level" is not just a saying, but Yang Xuan now has the confidence to say it!
In fact, Yang Xuan didn't pay much attention to the attack by Lingji and his three companions.
From beginning to end, he was thinking about one thing: how to provoke the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, as much as possible without killing Lingji and the other three. That's right, Yang Xuan's goal was to provoke the saints, and all his preparations were for this purpose!

In this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the greatest crisis is to anger the sages, and the greatest malice is also to anger the sages.

Yang Xuan had a strong premonition that if he could anger the sage, the seed of evil thought full of cracks in his spiritual platform would shatter, severing the evil corpse and making him a quasi-sage.

Under other circumstances, Yang Xuan would have thought that such an act was tantamount to suicide.
But now, with Houtu backing him up, if he still doesn't dare to do it, then what's the point of cultivating the Dao and slaying corpses?

Why not just stay quietly in Heaven or Hell? Why risk your life and face this calamity?
"Take one step, think ten steps ahead"—this is Yang Xuan's guiding principle. However, one must still have the courage to go far.

Yang Xuan has never lacked courage. If he didn't have courage, where would the Heavenly Court be today, and where would the Underworld be now?
"It's almost time..."

Yang Xuan looked at the Causality Balance Instrument in his hand, his eyes flashing slightly. A rushing sound of water appeared beside him, reaching the ears of everyone around him.

For some reason, the moment the sound of flowing water appeared, Lingji and the others suddenly felt an extreme sense of unease.

Their minds were frantically warning them to leave as soon as possible. This was a situation they had never encountered before, as if staying here would mean certain death.

But before they could react, Yang Xuan looked up at them, and in his pupils appeared a vast river of unknown length, width, origin, and destination.

"I used the five virtues as a bargaining chip to exchange for all of you!"

As Yang Xuan finished speaking, four illusory figures appeared on the scales to the right of the Causality Balance Instrument. They were the images of Ling Ji and his companions, and even the spiritual treasures on their bodies were on these illusory figures.

With the appearance of these four phantoms, the causal balance device, which had been maintaining its balance, completely lost its equilibrium. The right pan sank to the bottom, while the left pan rose to the top.

If someone well-versed in the principles of cause and effect and destiny were present, they would be able to see these four illusory figures.

A thick causal line composed of countless causes and effects connects these four illusory figures with Lingji and the other three.

Furthermore, within the spiritual platforms of these four illusory figures, there is a seven-colored point of light, which is like a projection of a true spirit.

Through this seven-colored light, it was as if one could see the entire lives of Lingji and his three companions.
"go!"

The moment they saw the four phantoms, Lingji and the others felt increasingly uneasy, and without thinking, they decided to retreat.

They no longer feel that staying here will lead to their death, but are certain that staying will inevitably lead to unacceptable consequences.

This consequence is far worse than retreating without a fight and angering the two Western saints.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Almost at the same moment that the four illusory figures appeared on the right side of the causal balance device, and Lingji and the other three had the idea of ​​retreating,

The Five Virtues Golden Wheel behind Yang Xuan's head emitted a dazzling divine light, from which flowed pure energy of five different colors: red, blue, purple, gold, and black.
It landed on the left pan of the cause-effect balancer, causing the left pan to slowly sink and gradually restore the two unbalanced pans to their original position.

Finally, with a crisp clang, the coin landed on the left pan of the scale, restoring balance to the two pans perfectly.

Followed by.

Suddenly, dazzling five-colored divine light erupted from the bodies of Lingji, Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, and Moonlight, the four eminent disciples of the Western Sect, completely enveloping them.

A moment later, the five-colored divine light that enveloped their bodies disappeared, along with...

And their bodies, and everything on them, the place where they were originally, were all gone without a trace.

At the same time, the four phantoms on the right side of the causal balance instrument turned into corpses and transformed into four jade dolls resembling Lingji, Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, and Moonlight.

"Heaven and earth bear witness, the transaction is fair, no refunds or exchanges!"

Yang Xuan bowed to heaven and earth with a solemn expression, and the strange phenomena around him disappeared.

Then, Yang Xuan looked inward at his spiritual platform, a smile appearing on his lips.

Even with the support of the Goddess Houtu, the fact that she could easily defeat Lingji and his companions in front of the two Western Saints, single-handedly, was undoubtedly dangerous, and the resulting malice was unprecedented.

At this moment, the seed of evil thought in his mind was covered with cracks of various sizes.

Yang Xuan had a strong premonition that, if he wanted, he could break through this seed of evil at any time, sever the evil corpse, and become a quasi-saint!

Just as Yang Xuan was introspecting, the Myriad Immortals Formation fell into an eerie silence.
Whether they were immortals from the Jie Sect or the Chan Sect, they all stopped fighting in unison, turned to look at Yang Xuan, and stared at the four jade dolls on the scale.

"This this……"

Everyone looked at each other, then at the four jade dolls, completely dumbfounded and at a loss for words.

Four against one is not a fair fight, especially since Lingji and his three companions are the true disciples of a sage.

As a result, Lingji and his three companions were defeated before they could even touch the hem of Yang Xuan's clothes.

Moreover, none of the people present can figure out what happened, or what kind of supernatural power Yang Xuan used.
What is the principle behind supernatural powers? Why did Lingji and the other three, along with their magical treasures, all turn into four jade dolls?

They had heard that Yang Xuan possessed a supernatural ability to snatch other people's spiritual treasures, making it impossible to guard against. Even renowned Golden Immortals like Maitreya and Taiyi Zhenren, who had been famous for many years, had fallen victim to Yang Xuan's tricks.

But they promised to rob them of their magical treasures, but now they've taken away the owners of those treasures instead. What does this mean? Is there no reason to be reasonable?
Lingji and his companions were Great Luo Golden Immortals, disciples of sages, and you just snatched them away, turning them into four mindless jade dolls?

What exactly does this mean? They're really not going to make any sense at all!

Get this straight, you're a Great Immortal too, okay? Is what you're doing really reasonable?
After being stunned for a while, whether they were immortals from the Chan Sect or the Jie Sect, no matter how far away they were, they all subconsciously took a step back.

Yang Xuan's supernatural power was truly bizarre. They were terrified that if Yang Xuan was in a bad mood, he might say to them, "I will use the five virtues as a bargaining chip to exchange for everything you have," and then...

They turned them into jade dolls too.

"How dare you, Yang Xuan! Hand over my Western Sect disciples at once!"

At this moment, Master Zhunti came to his senses and roared angrily.
