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

Chapter 433 Slaying the Corpse in the Great Tribulation, Finally Becoming a Quasi-Saint!
Inside the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

After Jieyin and Zhunti left with Maitreya and the other three, they continued their previous plan, wandering around the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, preaching the true meaning of the eight hundred unorthodox Western sects, and converting more Jie Sect immortals.

The preaching of sages is inherently captivating, and when the two Western sages added elements of Western religion to their sermons,
This will instill a natural affinity for Western religion in all beings who hear the teachings, and the more they hear the preaching of the two Western saints, the more eager they will be to join Western religion.

Gradually, more and more disciples of the Jie Sect followed the two Western Saints. Even some disciples of the Chan Sect showed confusion on their faces and began to question the path they were cultivating.

The most obvious expression was on the faces of Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang. They recalled what Dipankara had said a few years ago, and their hearts were filled with some turmoil.

Furthermore, as the two Western saints continued to preach and compared their own pursuit of the Great Way with the teachings of the Western saints, their hearts became increasingly shaken.

When they saw the Taoist Ran Deng holding the Qiankun Ruler in one hand, tearing open the surrounding space,

Holding a spirit pearl in each hand, and concealing the surrounding heavenly secrets as he approached them, they finally made their decision and followed behind Daoist Ran Deng.

Without anyone noticing, they joined the ranks behind the two Western Saints.

Upon seeing this, the two Western Saints were overjoyed. The reason they had lingered for so long was precisely because of Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang.

These are their three biggest targets besides Daoist Duobao.

Now that Duobao has been taken away by Li Er, they have no way to convert him. Randeng has also led Cihang and the other two to convert to the Western Paradise.
There's no need to linger here any longer. If the Primordial Celestial Venerable notices, it won't be easy for them to leave.

Then, the two Western Saints exchanged a glance. Zhunti gently waved his sleeve, taking away the Turtle Spirit Mother, who was sitting cross-legged not far away and resisting the Daoist teachings, along with the surrounding disciples of the Jie Sect.
He sealed away all his cultivation and threw him onto the Golden Lotus of Merit.

The Guide Daoist also waved his sleeves, sending everyone behind him onto the Golden Lotus of Merit. With a light touch of his finger, he broke through the surrounding space and sent the Golden Lotus of Merit back to Mount Sumeru, securing its place in his pocket.

Once these people reach Mount Sumeru, they become disciples of the Western Sect, bound by an unbreakable karmic connection with the West.

While enjoying the blessings of Western fortune and practicing the supreme Western Taoism, one also has the obligation to greatly promote the West.

Even if the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Lord stormed Mount Sumeru, they could only kill these people, but could not make them break away from the Western Paradise.
If they didn't have this ability, how could they forcibly convert living beings into the West?
Even a quasi-sage like Kong Xuan, once he enters the West and is converted by the two Western sages, will have an inseparable karmic connection with the West.
Don't be fooled by his current ability to resist; it won't be long before he is converted by the two Western saints. Unless he helps the West truly prosper, there is absolutely no possibility of him escaping.

The group of immortals from the Chan and Jie sects who were sent to Mount Sumeru by the two Western Saints, excluding the Holy Mother Tortoise Spirit and the group of Jie sect immortals forcibly taken away by Zhunti, are now included.
They were all converted by the two Western saints, forming an inseparable karmic connection with the West. Their entire lives must be dedicated to the flourishing of the West.
Even if the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Yuanshi Tianzun snatched them back, this karmic connection would still exist; this was their confidence as saints.

In terms of magical combat, they were indeed no match for the Three Pure Ones and others.
However, the rise of the West was crucial to their spiritual path, and they made numerous efforts in this regard.

Although some of the methods used were not entirely honorable, this supernatural power of saving living beings and binding them to cause and effect can indeed be described as 'brilliant'!
"Jieyin, Zhunti, how dare you!!!"

Just then, a furious shout came from the center of the great formation. The Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes flashed with ferocity as he raised his Qingping Sword and slashed down at Jieyin and Zhunti.

On the other side, Yuanshi Tianzun also had a gloomy expression. He waved the Pangu Banner in his hand and released a stream of chaotic energy, which fell towards the two Western Saints.

Clearly, what the two of them did eventually came to the attention of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

If it were only a hundred or so disciples of the Jie Sect being converted by the two Western Saints, the Tongtian Sect Leader might have turned a blind eye for the sake of the bigger picture.

After the primordial world has evolved into the Three Realms, we will then seek out the two Western Sages to discuss the Dao.

But now, two or three thousand disciples of the Jie Sect have disappeared, including two inner disciples, Duobao and Guiling. How could Tongtian Sect Leader tolerate this?

Needless to say, Yuanshi Tianzun also had his primordial spirit listed after the deaths of Taiyi Zhenren and Yun Zhongzi.

The fact that the Antarctic Immortal and the Yellow Dragon Taoist had their three flowers on their heads and five qi in their chests removed, causing their cultivation levels to drop to Golden Immortal, already greatly angered him.

Now that Dipankara, this traitor, is helping the two Western Saints to convert Cihang, Puxian, and Manjushri, three disciples of the Chan Sect, how could he not be furious?
Randeng thought he had done a good job, using spiritual treasures to conceal the secrets of heaven throughout the process. But how could he not deduce something that had already happened, and right under the nose of Yuanshi Tianzun?

If it weren't for the two Western Saints sending the Taoist Ran Deng back to Mount Sumeru, he would have killed this traitor no matter what.

Mount Sumeru is the sacred site of the two Western Saints. Even if Yuanshi Tianzun is a saint, he cannot kill Randeng from afar in front of the two Western Saints.

Since that's the case, let's take action against the two culprits, the two Western Saints!
The two Western Saints stayed behind to prevent the Tongtian Sect Leader and Yuanshi Tianzun from directly attacking Mount Sumeru, and also to prepare for such a scenario.

In terms of magical combat ability, they are indeed no match for the Three Pure Ones, but they are not without any power to fight back.

Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance. One held six pure bamboo sticks, while the other activated the Seven Treasures Tree. They charged forward to meet the sword energy and the chaotic axe light.
Arriving at the center of the great formation, they engaged in a chaotic battle with Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun.

At this point, the battle between the sages reached its true climax, generating terrifying pressure, and the center of the great formation was completely transformed into chaos.
Even the slightest leak of its oppressive aura could cause a world to revert to chaos, revealing the primordial origins of the universe.

Under the all-out battle of the four sages, the entire prehistoric world seemed to be plunged into the apocalypse, with spatial rifts appearing as if it would shatter at any moment.

In the west, at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

A figure dressed in a black Taoist robe stood in the shadow of a giant rock, watching the strange phenomenon sweeping across the entire prehistoric world, a faint smile on his face.

"The time is coming. This primordial world will ultimately belong to us. Hongjun, Pangu, you will eventually become the past, forever buried in the river of fate..."

Rumble——!
As time went on, the tremors in the primordial world grew more and more intense, and the calamity sweeping across the entire primordial world intensified rapidly.

"it's time."

As Yang Xuan sensed the changes in the primordial world and watched the rapidly increasing tribulation energy within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, he made a decision.

He first sent a telepathic message into Mount Sumeru, then sat cross-legged in the void, using the boundless calamity energy around him to begin the final step of the Great Calamity Corpse-Slaying Technique.

Achieve quasi-sainthood today!
As Yang Xuan activated the Great Calamity Corpse-Slaying Technique, the invisible calamity energy around him began to surge towards him.

This intensified the surrounding malice, and although the temperature did not drop, it gave people a chilling feeling.

Gradually, under the influence of the Great Calamity Corpse-Slaying Technique, this calamity energy formed a dark cloud above Yang Xuan's head, radiating terrifying malice.

Even the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, who were far away, couldn't help but shudder and subconsciously took a step back, instinctively resisting and...fearing this malice!
"This is?"

Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, they suddenly saw a cracked, jet-black seed fly out from between Yang Xuan's eyebrows.
Hovering above Yang Xuan's head, it slowly absorbed the malicious black cloud into the cracks, constantly widening them as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

"The Great Calamity Corpse-Slaying Technique?!"

The immortals in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation all possessed remarkable knowledge. Upon seeing the seed, they immediately guessed what it was all about, and their faces all showed expressions of shock.

There are many methods to aid in the process of severing one's corpse, but the Great Calamity Corpse-Severing Method is undoubtedly the most dangerous. A slight mistake could lead to death and the dissipation of one's cultivation. Practicing the Great Calamity Corpse-Severing Method during a great calamity is even more perilous, and no one has done so to this day.

"This guy is insane!"

The gazes of both the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect immortals toward Yang Xuan became somewhat strange.

Yang Xuan has always given the impression of being someone who plans carefully before acting, and never does anything without being certain of success.

Every move they make is swift and decisive, determining the outcome from the outset and leaving no room for others to intervene.

In other words, Yang Xuan is too steady and too damn good at hiding.

But today, they saw another side of Yang Xuan. In any case, cultivating the Great Tribulation Corpse-Slaying Technique during a great calamity is not a prudent decision.

They suddenly realized that Yang Xuan seemed to be shrouded in a mist, making it difficult to see him clearly.

Whenever the beings of the primordial world thought they had seen through Yang Xuan, he would soon reveal a new aspect of himself, never revealing his full face.

Just like now, they felt that Yang Xuan was steady and reliable, and had nothing to do with the Great Calamity Corpse-Slaying Technique, let alone cultivate this technique during the Great Calamity.

But that's exactly what Yang Xuan did, and judging from his appearance, it seemed he had already reached the final step and was about to succeed.

“That’s not right…” Zhao Gongming held the golden whip, rubbed his head, and looked at the seed of evil on Yang Xuan’s head with a puzzled expression.

"When I first met you, I was a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, while you weren't even a Golden Immortal."

I'm currently at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and this is after I broke through to a higher level following my younger brother's enlightenment. Meanwhile, my younger brother is already at the stage of severing corpses.

Is this...is this really reasonable?

The other immortals within the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation also thought of this to some extent, and all of them looked shocked and puzzled.

These immortals, while not as knowledgeable as Zhao Gongming, knew Yang Xuan was simply too famous.
He did so many great things that impacted the prehistoric world, and his basic information had already spread throughout the prehistoric world long ago.

Everyone knows that just a few eons ago, when Haotian first granted Yang Xuan his title, he was just a rogue cultivator who wasn't even a Golden Immortal.

Now, only a few cycles have passed, and he has already broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, with no more worries about his lifespan.

He broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and condensed the five elements within his chest.

Having broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the Three Flowers of the Crown bloomed, and the True Spirit leaped out of the River of Destiny, attaining great freedom and eternal existence.

For other beings in the primordial world, it would be impossible to break through these three advancements without spending dozens of eons.

Yang Xuan not only broke through, but is now cultivating the Great Calamity Corpse-Slaying Technique during the Great Calamity, using invisible calamity energy to sever the corpse, leaving cracks on the seeds of evil thoughts.

Now he has begun to absorb the calamity energy and has started the final step of the Great Calamity Corpse Severing Technique. Once he succeeds, he will become a Quasi-Saint who will not enter the Great Calamity!

More importantly, they simply couldn't understand why Yang Xuan would cultivate the Great Tribulation Corpse-Severing Technique during a great calamity, something that should theoretically be a matter of life and death.

But why does Yang Xuan seem to be doing perfectly fine even though he's almost succeeded?
"I think I know why..."

Soon, everyone recalled the scene from before and a bold idea came to mind.

Yang Xuan easily defeated the four true disciples of the Western Sect, and even managed to demand ransom from the two Western Saints, and he actually succeeded!
With such strength and courage, it seems that this great calamity is not too dangerous for him.

"What a pervert..."

Everyone's expressions were strange; even Bixiao felt that Yang Xuan's behavior was too abnormal.

However, almost everyone shared the same thought: they hoped Yang Xuan would successfully dismember the corpse.

After severing the corpse, one becomes a quasi-saint!

Those who achieve the highest level are prioritized. After becoming quasi-saints, they are no longer of the same generation as Yang Xuan, and therefore there is no need to compare them with this freak.

Even the Antarctic Immortal no longer had any intention of causing trouble for Yang Xuan.

He was truly impressed. He now eagerly awaited Yang Xuan's successful dismemberment, so that he could find a better way to save face.

Me, go and cause trouble for a Quasi-Saint? What a joke! How could I, a dignified disciple of the Chan Sect, do such an unwise thing?

But gradually, a sense of unease began to rise in everyone's hearts, because...

It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier surrounding Yang Xuan's seed of evil. No matter how much he absorbed the calamity energy and tried to open the cracks in the seed, the seed of evil could not be broken through, lacking that opportune moment.

Clang——!
Just then, a clear sword sound came from Yang Xuan's body, and a small cyan sword flew out from between Yang Xuan's eyebrows.

Yang Xuan recognized this sword intent; it was the one that the Tongtian Sect Leader had used to save him from the Sea of ​​Blood.
When he was taken to Biyou Palace, Yang Xuan was given a sword aura when he learned that Yang Xuan wanted to practice the Great Calamity Corpse Severing Technique. It was said that it would help him when he severed his corpse in the future (Chapter 316).

It was precisely because of this sword intent that Yang Xuan decided to cultivate the Great Tribulation Corpse-Slaying Technique during the Investiture of the Gods.

Before Yang Xuan could think further, the small cyan sword transformed into a cyan sword intent, slashing at the seed of evil thought above Yang Xuan's head.

Followed by.

Then a 'crack' sound was heard, and the cracks on the seed of evil began to spread outwards, intersecting with other cracks.

Finally, with a loud 'bang,' the seed of evil shattered like an eggshell.
A wisp of black energy flew out from it, rapidly expanding within the black cloud of calamity energy. Soon, it grew from a wisp of black energy into the size of a palm, and sprouted hands and feet, transforming into a human form.

When this wisp of black energy grew to the size of a human infant, it already had complete hands and feet, only its facial features remained indistinct.

After a while, the humanoid figure formed from the black mist had clear facial features and grew to the size of an adult.

Upon closer inspection, one would find that the humanoid figure formed by the black mist is exactly the same as Yang Xuan, except that it exudes pure evil intent.

This is Yang Xuan's monstrous corpse!
But this is not the end. If a spiritual object of equal status cannot be found, this evil corpse will soon vanish into nothingness!
