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

"Human strength has its limits; no one can lose forever, and no one can win forever!"

Upon hearing Yang Xuan's announcement, Randeng sneered, convinced that Yang Xuan's move was a terrible one.

However, Yang Xuan's failure is where the opportunity lies for Buddhism!
The establishment of these divine laws will surely cause resentment among the gods of the Shinto sect, and this is where Buddhism's opportunity lies.

Buddhism is most skilled at the method of salvation. As long as these deities harbor resentment, Buddhism will find the flaw in their hearts and thus save them, turning them from gods into Buddhas.

We use the gods and spirits as nourishment to strengthen the fortune of our Buddhist sect!
Ran Deng was overjoyed, feeling a sense of satisfaction at having avenged a great grudge.

Although he can no longer be sure who helped the Golden Spirit Mother, who took him into her sleeve, leaving him no way to escape and causing him to die at the hands of the Golden Spirit Mother.

But whether from the perspective of cultivation level or stance, Yang Xuan is the most likely suspect.

Now that there's an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Divine Path and strike Yang Xuan hard, Randeng is determined not to miss it.

There are many others who share his thoughts, such as Maitreya and Tathagata. Almost all the great masters of Buddhism have thought about this.

Many people already have a lot of ideas in their minds.

After the Buddhist sect began its second missionary work, it was already trying to convert the deities of the Shinto sect in order to increase the fortune of Buddhism.

Unfortunately, most of the gods in the primordial world are celestial beings from the Heavenly Court and ghosts from the Underworld, all of whom are Yang Xuan's people, and they have never been able to find an opportunity.

And now, the opportunity has come!

In contrast to the excitement of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, the immortals and gods in Heaven and the Underworld were all filled with worry.

Some people in Buddhism can see the problems with these divine laws. They can also see that knowing these divine laws will definitely cause people to feel resentment, and even give up their divine positions in the human world.

Whether they are celestial beings or underworld spirits, their choice to build temples in the human world is precisely to condense incense and golden bodies, and to gain another powerful supernatural ability.

Furthermore, with incense and a golden statue in existence, there's no need to worry too much about worldly affairs. When believers perform rituals to invite the gods to possess them, there's no need to consider anything; just respond directly.

Their true forms can perform their duties as celestial deities and cultivate normally without interfering with each other, thus gaining a powerful supernatural ability for free.

However, with these divine laws, things are different. Even if a believer is simply using a ritual to summon a deity, these deities must understand the general situation before giving a corresponding response.

For example, if believers intend to destroy the primordial earth veins and harm the primordial world, there is absolutely no way to respond; in fact, divine punishment will be brought down.

Although understanding these things doesn't require much effort, even a little effort is worse than not expending any mental energy at all.

Moreover, the emergence of these divine laws would restrict the freedom of the gods.

The Heavenly Court and the Underworld received so many benefits that, later, they even had Heavenly Blessing Coins and Underworld Coins, which contained rewards for good deeds, that no immortals, gods, or ghosts complained.

On the other hand, who would willingly restrict their freedom for the sake of a mere incense offering statue, which is now mostly of inferior quality?
"Hmph!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden snorted coldly, her body surrounded by a chilling sword intent, releasing a sinister killing intent.

"If anyone dares to have any disloyal intentions, then they won't be staying in the Heavenly Court!"

The Heavenly Court has plenty of people who are unwilling to do it, but there are others who are willing to do it!

The Emperor's decree is not to be questioned, not by anyone else!
Within the underworld, the Styx River unleashed an overwhelming killing intent, enveloping the entire underworld.

In an instant, all the ghosts and gods in the underworld felt as if a blood-red sword was floating above their heads.
It was as if as long as they dared to object to Yang Xuan's divine laws, this blood sword would strike them down, shatter their bodies, and obliterate their primordial spirits.

Although Zhen Yuanzi, Kunpeng, Zhulong, and the others did not react as quickly as Styx,
But after a brief moment of surprise, he sent out a series of telepathic messages, ordering his disciples and clansmen serving in the Heavenly Court not to question the divine laws established by Yang Xuan.

Especially those who have built temples in the human world, no matter what, must abide by the divine laws established by Yang Xuan. If they feel dissatisfied, they can come back to them to confide in them, and they will make compensation.

Yang Xuan's orders must be obeyed, even if it seems like a rather unwise decision!
From another perspective, the only problem with these divine laws is that the benefits one can gain are less than the constraints one is subject to.

If the powerful and influential sects, such as the Earth Immortal Sect (where Zhen Yuanzi belongs), the Demon Clan (where Kunpeng belongs), and the Dragon Clan (where Zhulong belongs), could make up for these losses themselves, wouldn't that solve the problem?

They all knew that Yang Xuan had given them tremendous help.

Perhaps Yang Xuan made this obviously problematic decision in order to get them to express their opinions and take the initiative to fix this loophole, so that Yang Xuan's plan could be perfect.

Their idea is not wrong. As long as they are willing to help, their respective forces, the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld can fill the gap out of their own pockets and perfectly solve this problem.

Whether it's the forces that Zhen Yuanzi and his ilk belong to, or the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, they all share the same stance as Yang Xuan. Even if Yang Xuan hadn't said anything, they would have voluntarily offered their assistance.

However, given Yang Xuan's personality, if he really intended to do this, he would definitely notify them in advance. How could he let Zhen Yuanzi and the others guess?
In fact, he was aware of the potential problems with these divine laws and had long ago found a solution.

The root of the problem is simply that the wages haven't been paid.

To put it simply, if the salary is high enough and the benefits are good, who would choose to resign?
As long as the money is there, the company is my home!
The reason why the celestial gods and underworld spirits chose to build temples in the human world and practice the method of condensing incense and golden bodies to become gods was precisely to condense incense and golden bodies.

Once you condense the incense-infused golden body, you will gain an additional, decent supernatural ability, enhancing your own strength.

The incense-burning statue can also help with religious affairs and respond to believers' prayers, so it's practically like getting an incense-burning statue for free.

But now, the gods need to spend more effort responding to believers, and the imbalance between giving and receiving has led to psychological imbalance among the gods.

The solution is simple: just improve their compensation.

Since they became deities for the sake of incense offerings and golden statues, then let's enhance the power of those statues.

Since their psychological imbalance stems from needing to devote more attention to responding to believers, why not simply reduce that amount of attention?

Just as the powerful beings of the prehistoric world were having different thoughts, Yang Xuan's voice once again echoed throughout the prehistoric world.

"Anyone who enters my divine path can receive a free copy of the Low-Grade Incense Golden Body Condensation Method, which allows them to cultivate to the Golden Body Realm."

"All gods and deities can petition the Heavenly Court and the Underworld to apply for a mid-grade incense and golden body condensation method. They can cultivate to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level and develop a second primordial spirit with independent consciousness."

"All gods and deities, to uphold the majesty of our divine path, may petition the Heavenly Court and the Underworld to apply for a superior incense and golden body condensation method, which can be cultivated to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, stabilize the second primordial spirit, and enhance the strength of the primordial spirit."

"All deities and spirits who have rendered meritorious service to Heaven and Earth can proclaim to the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man that they may obtain the supreme method for condensing incense and golden bodies, and may have the potential to condense a quasi-saint golden body."

……

As Yang Xuan finished speaking, all the creatures of the prehistoric world fell silent, and the entire prehistoric world seemed to quiet down for a moment.

After a brief silence, all the gods, their faces filled with excitement, bowed respectfully to the illusory image of Yang Xuan in the sky and said:

"Praise be to the Heavenly Mysterious True God, the True God is merciful, the True God is merciful!" After these beings built temples and became the gods worshipped by the people, regardless of how diligently they worked, they at least did not neglect to respond to their believers, and this happened frequently.

His golden statue is filled with incense offerings.

According to Yang Xuan's announcement, they can apply for a mid-grade incense and golden body condensation method.

As for those deities who had already applied for a mid-grade incense-golden body condensation method, they could directly exchange it for the latest version of the cultivation method.

This new version of the Mid-Grade Incense Golden Body Condensation Method not only allows one to cultivate to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, but also allows one to cultivate a second primordial spirit!

Even the most foolish person knows what a second primordial spirit means.

Moreover, Yang Xuan has already said that the second primordial spirit cultivated by the mid-grade incense golden body condensation method can possess independent consciousness.

Even if this is a youthful version of the second primordial spirit, with only the effect of independent consciousness, that is enough for these gods.

Having independent consciousness means that responding to the prayers of believers can be entrusted to the incense and golden statue.

This is equivalent to the gods worshipped by human beings being incense offerings and golden statues, while the true nature of the gods remains that of cultivators who can perform divine duties in the Heavenly Court or cultivate and attain enlightenment.

In this way, as long as one cultivates the intermediate-grade incense and golden body condensation method, it is considered to be cultivating both the immortal path and the divine path simultaneously without interfering with each other.

The golden body of incense is used to cultivate itself by refining incense, while the physical body comprehends the Great Dao and refines spiritual energy to improve its cultivation level.

Since one can cultivate both the path of immortality and the path of divinity simultaneously, the problem of being distracted by fulfilling divine duties naturally does not exist.

After all, responding to the prayers of believers is part of Shinto practice. How can it be considered a distraction when the incense and golden statues responsible for Shinto practice are in charge of this matter?

As for the mid-grade incense golden body condensation method, the highest level it can reach is Taiyi Golden Immortal, and what this means is all too obvious.

The essence of the Incense Golden Body Condensation Method is to cultivate an incense golden body to help practitioners handle divine affairs and enhance their combat power.

It can be considered a kind of external avatar, or a special kind of natal spiritual treasure, and has nothing to do with the original body.

Therefore, the upper limit of the cultivation of the intermediate-grade incense golden body condensation method is Taiyi Golden Immortal. This means that no matter what the cultivation level of the original body is, it is possible to cultivate an incense golden body of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

As long as one diligently fulfills their divine duties, responds to the prayers of believers, spreads the faith, and receives sufficient offerings, the cultivation level of the incense-burning golden body can be raised to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, without any bottlenecks!
This is the advantage of spiritual cultivation: the cultivation speed is extremely fast, far surpassing that of immortal cultivation, but it is still affected by the power of incense offerings and vows.

Once believers stop offering incense, the spiritual cultivation of the deity will decline.

However, using incense and gold to cultivate the divine path is a special external incarnation, and even if the faith collapses, the original body will not be affected.

On the contrary, as long as they diligently perform their divine duties and respond to the prayers of believers, these deities can obtain a powerful external avatar.

Rounding it off, this is equivalent to retaining the advantage of rapid cultivation improvement through divine means, but without the drawback of being restricted by incense offerings and vows.

If one performs well enough and makes sufficient contributions to the propagation of the divine path, one can obtain the superior Incense Golden Body Condensation Method, raising the upper limit of the Incense Golden Body to the Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Given the unique nature of the divine path, as long as the cultivation method is sound and there is sufficient incense offerings and prayers, then possessing a golden body of incense offerings at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level is basically a certainty.

As for the method of condensing the golden body of supreme incense, few gods cared about it.

It's not that the Supreme Incense Golden Body Formation Method is bad; even if it only offers a sliver of hope of achieving Quasi-Saint status, it's enough to make all the gods envious, even the Great Luo Golden Immortals...

wrong!

To be precise, even a quasi-saint would be envious, since the incense-burning golden body is an external incarnation.

If one can condense a golden body of incense with the cultivation level of a quasi-saint, it is equivalent to having an external avatar with the cultivation level of a quasi-saint, possessing independent consciousness, and closely connected to oneself.

Who could refuse something like this?
However, to obtain the supreme incense golden body condensation method, one must not only have made contributions to the primordial world, but also receive responses from the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. The difficulty of this is unimaginable.

On the contrary, even the most powerful beings in the primordial world were more concerned with the mid-grade and high-grade incense golden body condensation methods.

They can be fairly certain that the techniques Yang Xuan mentioned during his announcement were all basic techniques.

Since there are basic cultivation methods, there must also be advanced cultivation methods. Perhaps the incense-golden bodies cultivated by these advanced cultivation methods will have even more miraculous aspects.

More importantly, Yang Xuan was able to integrate the cultivation method of the second primordial spirit into the universal mid-grade and high-grade incense golden body.

So, do some advanced cultivation techniques have methods for creating a third primordial spirit?

Of course, obtaining advanced cultivation techniques will definitely require paying a higher price.

But anyone who can understand this point will not care too much about the cost. No matter what the cost, they must first join the Shinto and become a god.

If someone hasn't joined the divine path and isn't registered, but instead goes and builds a temple on their own, then they're a false god. They're lucky if they're not suppressed by the divine path, let alone want to obtain the incense offerings and the golden body condensation method—they're dreaming!
In an instant, not to mention all of them, at least half of the powerful beings in the primordial world all had the idea of ​​simultaneously cultivating the incense and golden body condensation method and becoming members of the divine path.

In any case, joining the path of gods and becoming a deity means that you need to put more effort into the path of gods before you can obtain the intermediate-grade incense and golden body condensation method.

Once a mid-grade incense golden body is condensed, even the most basic mid-grade incense golden body can autonomously perform divine duties, respond to believers, and follow divine laws.

At that time, their physical bodies will be able to continue cultivating the path of immortality, and their incense-burning golden bodies will be able to cultivate the path of divinity. These are all benefits, without any drawbacks.

For these powerful beings, even if this process takes tens of thousands of years, or even one or two eons, it is still a huge profit.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same. Many powerful beings in the prehistoric world coveted the method of condensing the golden body through incense offerings, while Buddhist disciples had bloodshot eyes and wished they could kill Yang Xuan.

Even an idiot could see that Yang Xuan was essentially giving away the Incense Golden Body Condensation Method, which contained a second primordial spirit, to all the gods and deities for free.
Before long, the religion will flourish, and countless gods will spread their faith and compete for incense offerings.

Among deities, there are always competitors. It is easy to imagine how difficult it would be for Buddhism to wrest incense offerings from the deities.

Without Yang Xuan even needing to say anything, the gods would spontaneously unite and oppose the Buddhist missionary work.

We don't even have enough incense offerings and prayers for ourselves, how could we let you interfere?!

In the past, the gods certainly wouldn't have made their actions too obvious, but now that there are enough benefits, things are different.

Moreover, after Yang Xuan finished his announcement, the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man responded in unison, bestowing upon him a massive amount of merit.

About one-third of it fell into Yang Xuan's body, one-third boosted the divine fortune, and about one-third scattered into the prehistoric human world and fell into the temple.

With the approval of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, these deities are even more confident. Even if it's Buddhism, they won't be polite if anyone dares to steal their offerings! (End of Chapter)
