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

"This Confucius... truly possesses great courage!"

The powerful beings watched as Confucius, with the blessing of the primordial world, had just severed his good corpse and become a quasi-saint, yet he unhesitatingly dispersed his acquired cultivation to give back to the primordial beings. They were filled with emotion.

If they were in their shoes, they would never do such a thing. Who would be willing to give up the cultivation they had gained?
They finally understood why Confucius was able to establish Confucianism and gain the recognition of the primordial world; such a character truly deserved the favor of the primordial world.

After learning about the power of righteousness, their respect for Confucius deepened.

The effects of righteousness are numerous, but as Yang Xuan believed, its ability to enhance comprehension is the most important.

Whether human or other race, as long as one possesses righteous energy, comprehending the Great Dao and cultivating techniques will be much easier and will greatly benefit one's cultivation.

Confucius's actions undoubtedly made the cultivation process smoother for the beings of the ancient East.

Coupled with the flourishing of diverse schools of thought, one can imagine that in the coming years, billions of beings in the ancient East will usher in a golden age of cultivation!
Confucius, by distributing his entire body's righteous energy to countless living beings in the ancient East, achieved such an effect.

If all this noble spirit were embodied in Confucius, how much would it have helped him in his spiritual practice and enlightenment!
Having understood this, even though Confucius's cultivation had now fallen to the Golden Immortal realm, all the powerful beings still held him in high esteem, bowing to him from afar and acknowledging him as the leader of Confucianism.
He decided that all his disciples and younger generations in the clan should become scholars, cultivate Confucianism, and nurture their noble spirit.

As long as there is no fundamental conflict, it is very common to practice different methods simultaneously.

The Confucian method of cultivation is an extremely compatible practice.

The righteous energy cultivated through this practice can enhance one's understanding, essentially giving oneself a long-term and effective cultivation buff. Even these great masters themselves have developed the idea of ​​simultaneously practicing Confucianism.

This is because these powerful beings do not know that righteous energy is also beneficial to the corpse-slaying technique; otherwise, it would not be just a thought, let alone a dual cultivation!

Of course, Yang Xuan has no intention of revealing the effects of the Righteous Qi for the time being.

Firstly, Confucianism has a core idea of ​​encouraging exploration and the pursuit of knowledge. If one is unwilling to even seek out the noble spirit one has cultivated, how can one maintain a thirst for knowledge and exploration?
Secondly, Yang Xuan was not Confucius; he could not be as selfless as Confucius, and he also had his own selfish desires.

While everyone is unaware that righteous energy is beneficial to corpse-slaying, why not monopolize this advantage?

Although Confucius had lost his spiritual power, all his righteous energy had dissipated.

However, Confucius's teachings gathered boundless fortune, making the righteous spirit of heaven and earth even stronger.

In particular, the courtyard of Confucius, the birthplace of Confucianism, is imbued with an even stronger sense of righteousness and integrity.

Yang Xuan had a premonition that the Confucius Courtyard possessed such a strong sense of righteousness that even if one did nothing but stay in the Confucius Courtyard, the time required to sever the good corpse could be shortened by tens of thousands of years.

However, if others become aware of the effects of righteousness and integrity and come to Confucius's courtyard to try and absorb it, it might affect the effectiveness of righteousness and integrity.

Therefore, maintaining the mystique of righteousness not only aligns with Confucian doctrines and safeguards one's own interests, but also provides an opportunity to observe the attitudes of powerful beings in the primordial world towards Confucianism.

This approach achieves multiple benefits in one fell swoop, making it the optimal solution.

In any case, the righteous spirit of Confucius's courtyard does not belong to any other powerful figures, nor does it infringe on the interests of others. Even if they find out afterward, they cannot say anything.

Yang Xuan didn't care about the thoughts of the other powerful beings in the prehistoric world. He looked at Confucius beside him and asked:
"What are Confucius's plans next? Will he return to Qingzhou to recuperate, or will he continue his travels in the prehistoric east?"

"Of course we must continue." Confucius smiled slightly, his gaze firm.

"Although the beings of the ancient East possess a righteous spirit that allows them to see their true nature more clearly, they still need to study the classics and practice Confucianism to avoid being misled by external things!"

"In that case, farewell. If you encounter danger again, just call upon my name." Yang Xuan nodded and did not stop him.

Now, many powerful beings in the prehistoric world know that Confucius has some connection with Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, and is also a good friend of Yang Xuan. They all have to give him some face and do him some favors, so there shouldn't be any danger.

"Let's go, let's go. Now that I know who you are, I have nothing to be afraid of anymore, hahaha!"

Confucius laughed heartily. With a quasi-sage friend who could appear at any time, he truly had no worries and could focus on his studies and spread the teachings of Confucianism.

"I've never hidden my identity; it's just that you haven't thought of it that way." Yang Xuan shrugged, his body gradually becoming blurry and disappearing.

"This can't be blamed on us; who would have thought of that..."

Zixia pursed his lips. Indeed, after Yang Xuan arrived at Confucius's courtyard, he introduced himself and did not hide his identity.

However, there are countless people named 'Yang Xuan', and even more people named 'Yang Xuan' who wear bright red Taoist robes.

Even with the strongest imagination, it's impossible for him to connect Yang Xuan with the same 'Yang Xuan' who was a great sage of the human race and the dual emperor of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld.

"Let's go."

Confucius patted Zixia on the shoulder and led his students away into the distance to continue their travels throughout the ancient world and spread the teachings of Confucianism.

the other side.

After bidding farewell to Confucius, Yang Xuan returned to Confucius's courtyard.

Compared to when I left, it is clear that after Confucius established the religion, the Confucian spirit and righteous energy here, as the birthplace of Confucianism, have become even stronger.

While still on the border of Kyushu, Yang Xuan was thinking that once the concentration of righteous energy in Confucius's courtyard increased, staying there would shorten the time to sever the good corpse by tens of thousands of years.

Now that he's back, he realizes he still underestimated the influence of Confucius's teachings.

Judging from the current situation, even if Yang Xuan does nothing, as long as he stays in Confucius's courtyard, this time can be shortened by hundreds of thousands of years.

In other words, in about two more cycles, Yang Xuan will be able to cut off the good corpse!

Such speed is truly terrifying, even shorter than the time it took Yang Xuan to slay the evil corpse.

"The spirit of righteousness is truly profound. With the spirit of righteousness as its fundamental principle, Confucianism is destined to flourish and firmly occupy the top position among the three major religions."

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, feeling extremely pleased.

"what?"

At this moment, Yang Xuan suddenly noticed that the Confucian aura in and around the Confucius courtyard was converging towards the backyard.

"Could it be that……"

Yang Xuan's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the piece he had casually placed back then, and he strode towards the backyard.

"Sure enough!"

As soon as Yang Xuan arrived in the backyard, he saw three small golden lotuses blooming with dazzling golden light on the surface of the pond.

The three golden lotuses each had eighty-one petals, clearly the ninth-grade merit lotuses!

Yang Xuan possesses numerous seeds of the Golden Lotus of Merit, but getting them to take root and sprout is no easy feat. Without special opportunities, they require an environment rich in auspicious energy to grow. As the birthplace of Confucianism, this courtyard, besides Confucius himself, is the place where the most auspicious energy gathers after he established the religion.

Nourished by this auspicious energy, the three lotus seeds successfully took root, sprouted, and blossomed into nine grades of flowers.

Although these three golden lotuses of merit have only just grown and are not yet fully mature, they are sufficient to suppress the flow of fortune.

A vast amount of Confucian fortune gathered around the three nine-grade golden lotuses of merit. Under the pressure of the lotuses, the fortune gradually stabilized, no longer dissipating or weakening naturally.

With the three nine-grade golden lotuses of merit, the bamboo slips of the Spring and Autumn Annals, and the brush of the Spring and Autumn Annals together suppressing the Confucian fortune, it is more than enough for the time being.

For a long time to come, Confucianism will not have to worry about the disruption of Qi.

"Very good, very good!"

Yang Xuan nodded in satisfaction and set up an array on the edge of the pool to prevent it from being destroyed by any fools.

Afterwards, Yang Xuan returned to his room, his gaze sweeping across the primordial sky, the earth, and the Nine Netherworlds, a thoughtful expression on his face.

With sufficient manpower and a comprehensive plan, nearly half of the stars in the ancient starry sky have now been restored.

Furthermore, during the restoration of the stars, the celestial beings strictly followed Yang Xuan's instructions and set up formations on these stars.

As more and more stars were repaired, the number of formations set up also increased.

These formations all use a star as the main star and connect with other stars around it, forming increasingly larger formations in the ancient starry sky.

These formations evolved from the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation. Currently, their most important effect is that they can draw upon the power of the surrounding stars to assist the celestial gods and immortals in repairing damaged stars.

This means that as the celestial beings repair more and more stars, these formations will become larger and more complex, and will be able to draw upon more stellar power.

The speed at which stars are automatically repaired will also increase, and the speed at which the Heavenly Court repairs stars will naturally become faster as a result.

Once the ancient starry sky is restored in the future, arrays will be set up on all the stars to recreate the Great Array of the Celestial Stars.

Moreover, it is even more complex and possibly more powerful than the Zhou Tian Star Array of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court.

After all, the ancient starry sky today is much larger than during the Lich War. Both are part of the Zhou Tian Star Array, but to cover the entire starry sky, it would naturally be more complex.

However, complexity does not necessarily mean strength. Without having tested it, Yang Xuan cannot be certain whether it will become stronger; he can only be certain that it will at least not become weaker.

However, Yang's true purpose in setting up the Zhou Tian Star Array was not actually for the array's power; what he valued more was the Zhou Tian stars themselves.

But that's all in the future. The formation hasn't been set up yet, and many places are still just ideas.

"Once the ancient starry sky is repaired, the issues concerning Buddhist doctrines will be largely resolved. At that time, we can have His Majesty Haotian invite the Three Pure Ones to open the heavens and earth, and then..."

Yang Xuan's true form raised his eyes and looked down to the west, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

In the underworld, with the promotion of the apprentice ghost and god system, more and more ghosts and spirits have joined the underworld, and there is a considerable number of people to go to the human world to capture souls and spirits.

Over the years, most of the beings who died during the Investiture of the Gods and became wandering spirits in the human world have been received by the underworld officials and brought to the underworld to be judged and prepared for reincarnation.

The primordial cycle of reincarnation has now been initially restored to stability, barely achieving the separation of yin and yang.

Next, as long as the underworld maintains the status quo, the cycle of reincarnation can be completely stabilized. As long as no other forces cause trouble for the underworld, no accidents will occur.

As for the underworld causing trouble... that's basically impossible.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Styx, once the most stubborn man in the primordial world, was enough to deter 99% of the forces from even considering the idea of ​​opposing the Underworld.

Therefore, in recent years, the trainee ghosts and gods recruited by the underworld have not been assigned to the human world to capture souls, but have instead worked in the netherworld to expand the underworld and develop other areas of the netherworld.

Like the Celestial Realm, after the primordial world evolved into the Three Realms, the Netherworld also expanded considerably in size.

The development rate of the Netherworld was not very high to begin with, and now that it has expanded so much, the development rate is even lower, making even the Underworld seem rather insignificant.

Over the years, thanks to the efforts of these spirits and deities, the underworld has finally shown some improvement and appears to have expanded considerably.

In other parts of the Netherworld, more cave dwellings and temples began to appear, and everything was developing in a positive direction.

But none of these things concerned Yang Xuan the most. His gaze fell on the River of Oblivion, watching the dragons and aquatic creatures living there. After a long while, he finally looked away.

"From this perspective, the general direction is correct."

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, a smile appearing on his face.

Although the underworld recruited many ghosts and spirits through the system of training ghosts and gods to fill the vacancies at the bottom of the underworld.

However, these ghosts and spirits are too weak in cultivation, and there are still many vacancies in the higher ranks of the underworld.

Due to the unique environment of the Netherworld, it is extremely difficult to find beings that are both suitable for the Netherworld and possess profound cultivation; there are very few of them in the entire prehistoric world.

The best way to solve this problem is through methods such as altering one's bloodline or changing one's cultivation techniques.

This transforms the beings of the primordial world, who were originally unsuitable for living in the underworld, into beings capable of refining the absolute yin and death energy of the Netherworld, making them suitable for living in the Netherworld.

For this reason, Yang Xuan deduced over many years and came up with a preliminary plan, selecting a group of dragon and aquatic creatures for the experiment.

Looking at it now, the general direction is correct, and we have received feedback on many shortcomings. As long as we address these shortcomings and observe for a few more years, we can consider mass conversion.

If this matter can be accomplished, the underworld, and even the netherworld, will flourish, and the merits accumulated will certainly be substantial.

Finally, Yang Xuan turned his gaze to the many temples in the eastern part of the prehistoric world.

When Yang Xuan proposed the idea of ​​a hundred schools of thought contending, in addition to wanting to cause trouble for Buddhism, he also had the idea of ​​promoting the way of gods and the way of business.

In fact, he did not miss any of these things during his years at the Confucius Courtyard. It's just that his situation was different from Confucius's; he didn't need to do everything himself.

Neither the divine way nor the business way is new; Yang Xuan has a large number of followers in Kyushu.

All the chambers of commerce in Kyushu, regardless of size, have managers and owners who are all followers of Yang Xuan and can be considered members of the business community.

Needless to say, the number of Shinto temples in Kyushu far surpasses that of Buddhism; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're everywhere.

Especially in the discussions between Confucius and Buddha, billions of beings became aware of the hidden dangers of Buddhism. In comparison, Taoism seemed much more appealing, and many beings became believers in Taoism.

This was an inevitable trend, and Yang Xuan naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by! (End of Chapter)
