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

heaven.

After learning about the progress of the restoration of the ancient starry sky, Yang Xuan returned to the Heavenly Court and went to the thatched hut next to the Temple of Fate.

In at most another 100,000 years, the ancient starry sky will be fully restored, the celestial realm will become more complete, and it will be time for the Heavenly Court to take another step forward.

Upon entering the thatched hut and arriving at the alchemy room, Yang Xuan respectfully bowed to Laozi.

"Greetings, Laozi. I have come here today with a request."

"What is it?" Laozi nodded slightly in return.

"Reporting to Lord Laozi, after many years of observation, I have discovered that the thirty-three heavens of Heaven are not yet complete. Only if three more heavens could be opened would Heaven be truly complete."

However, the creation of heaven and earth is beyond human capability; only a sage could accomplish it.

At this point, Yang Xuan paused slightly, bowed again, and said respectfully:

"I have come here today to ask the Three Pure Ones to help me open three more heavens in the thirty-three heavens of the Heavenly Court. These three heavens can be called the Three Pure Ones Heavens, the highest heavens of the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this, Laozi remained silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Can!"

In fact, when Laozi first arrived in the Heavenly Court, he thought of opening another heaven and building the Eight Views Palace in the Heavenly Court, specifically for refining elixirs.

But Lao Tzu cultivated the Way of Non-Action and didn't want to make too much of a fuss, so building a thatched hut anywhere would be fine.

Secondly, Laozi realized that the timing was not right and it was not advisable to open another heaven, so the matter was dropped.

Hearing Yang Xuan say this, he immediately sensed that the time was approaching.

Once the ancient starry sky is repaired and the celestial origin is enhanced and becomes more perfect, it will be time to open another heaven. So he nodded in agreement.

"Once the ancient starry sky is repaired, I can take action to open another heaven for the Heavenly Court, named Taiqing Heaven. But you will have to talk to Yuanshi and Tongtian yourself."

"As it should be."

Yang Xuan nodded; that was exactly what he was thinking.

Since the purpose is to invite the Three Pure Ones to establish the Three Pure Heavens, it is natural to personally find the Three Pure Ones and extend the invitation; only in this way can one be considered to be showing proper etiquette.

The creation of the world is an impossible feat for ordinary beings, and even for quasi-saints, it is difficult to accomplish.

But for a sage, this is simply a matter of course.

The thirty-three heavens of the Heavenly Court today were created by the sages on the ruins of the original Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

It would be easy for the Three Pure Ones to open the Three Heavens again. Given Yang Xuan's contributions to the Jie Sect, it shouldn't be a problem for the Tongtian Sect Leader.

However, things are probably not so simple on the side of Yuanshi Tianzun.

To be honest, Yang Xuan was involved in the deaths of both Taiyi Zhenren and Yun Zhongzi.

In particular, the fall of Taiyi Zhenren was almost entirely caused by Yang Xuan.

If Yang Xuan hadn't saved Lady Shiji and borrowed the golden brick and Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover from Master Taiyi, and given them to Lady Shiji...

Later, he helped her achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and gave her the Human Seed Bag. With the Divine Reflection of Myriad Realms technique, the Human Seed Bag could unleash its full power.

Ultimately, within the Ten Deadly Formations, Shi Ji used the Divine Reflection of Myriad Realms technique to activate the Human Seed Bag, capturing Taiyi Zhenren within it, and then refined him with the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, leading to Taiyi Zhenren's demise.

If it weren't for Yang Xuan, Taiyi Zhenren wouldn't have perished. Just for this one incident, Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't have had a good impression of him.

However, opening up the third heaven and arranging for a benevolent corpse to take over the Heavenly Court would be a good thing for both Yuanshi Tianzun and the Chan Sect, so there is still a chance to discuss it.

Yang Xuan decided to give it a try first, and if that didn't work, he would go to Haotian and ask him to use his connections.

But just as Yang Xuan was preparing to go to Chaos to find the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Lord, he heard Laozi speak again:
"Don't rush off yet. I have something I wanted to discuss with you. Now that you're here, I'll tell you."

Yang Xuan was slightly taken aback, wondering what else Laozi wanted to say, but he still bowed.

"I will obey Laozi's commands."

"It's not really an order," Laozi waved his hand. "You have made a great contribution in hindering the rise of Buddhism."

"First, they proposed that a hundred schools of thought contend in the ancient East, then they helped Confucius establish his religion, forced Buddhism to change its doctrines, then established the religion, competed with Buddhism for incense offerings, and forced Buddhism to change its doctrines again."

"With two consecutive changes to the doctrine, although the rise of Buddhism is irreversible, the rise will be delayed by several cycles, giving Xuanmen (Taoist sects) a lot of time."

"Regardless of your purpose, this is a great achievement for the Xuanmen and deserves a reward!"

"Laojun..."

Yang Xuan was about to refuse, after all, he had obtained the method of transforming one qi into three pure ones from Laozi.

Now that his three incarnations are planning to establish a trade order in various parts of the prehistoric world, how could he possibly accept any more benefits from Laozi?
But as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he saw Laozi wave his hand.

"No need for further words, I know what you want to say. This old Daoist dislikes owing people karma. The method of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones is only used to settle the karma of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The karma of those subsequent ones has not yet been settled."

Laozi paused for a moment, a smile appearing on his face, and continued:

"This old Taoist knows you have no shortage of supernatural powers or magical treasures. Coincidentally, this old Taoist is somewhat interested in your divine ways."
According to your plan, there should still be some vacancies in the divine path. I wonder if you, young friend, could arrange a divine position for this old Taoist priest?

"what?"

Even with Yang Xuan's unwavering Dao heart and ability to remain calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, he was stunned at this moment, never expecting Laozi to bring about such a turn of events.

Although the Divine Path now enjoys considerable fame in the prehistoric world, surpassing many powerful forces, and numerous powerful beings have joined the Divine Path in order to concurrently cultivate the Incense Golden Body Condensation Method.

However, compared with top forces and sage sects such as Buddhism and Chan Sect, the Shinto sect is inferior in both its foundation and status.

If the divine way is to truly flourish, it needs to be like in later generations, inviting the Three Pure Ones to join the divine way and become its supreme deities.

The problem is that the primordial world is not facing the crisis of the Dharma-ending Age. The primordial world is rich in spiritual energy, has an excellent environment for cultivation, and everyone can cultivate. There are no signs of decline whatsoever.

The path of gods is merely an embellishment, not a necessary means to continue the lineage. What reason would the Three Pure Ones have to join the path of gods and merely hang their names on it?
Yang Xuan was a smart man. He knew that the Three Pure Ones could not possibly be listed in the pantheon of gods, so he did not think about it in that direction.

His plan was to wait until he attained sainthood and became the foundation of the divine path. At that time, inviting a saint to be named would likely be much easier.

To Yang Xuan's surprise, Laozi took the initiative to propose the idea of ​​having his name listed in the Divine Path, which was completely beyond Yang Xuan's expectations.

After a brief moment of surprise, Yang Xuan was overjoyed and quickly said:
"If Laozi were willing to have his name listed in the Divine Path, he could become the Supreme God of the Divine Path!"

"Hmm." Laozi nodded slightly, without saying anything polite. Even if he wanted to be an ordinary minor god, Yang Xuan would never agree.

He represents the Supreme Purity, a sage. If a sage of the Supreme Purity wants to join a power, who would dare to make him start from the bottom? Are they tired of living?
Only the highest deity in the divine way can match his status; this is the most appropriate way.

“Yuanshi and Tongtian should also have the same intention. When you go to see them, you might as well mention this matter. Perhaps it can add two more supreme gods to the divine path.”

"Thank you for your guidance, Laozi!"

Yang Xuan bowed respectfully, then took his leave and left the thatched hut, his smile barely concealed.

Being able to be named a Sage of the Pure Land instantly elevates one's status in the divine realm by several levels.

If they could also gain the titles of two saints, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, then in terms of foundation, the Divine Path would be comparable to a top-tier force like the Xuanmen!
Laozi's final advice was clearly telling Yang Xuan that Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu might agree to his invitation out of respect for Taiqing Shengren, since Taiqing Shengren was listed as a deity.

"If this succeeds, it could save dozens of eons of time. Fate is truly mysterious..."

Yang Xuan was deeply moved. He knew that the reason why Laozi took the initiative to join the divine path was because Yang Xuan's actions over the years had greatly extended the period of Buddhism's flourishing.

Although Yang Xuan had his own interests in doing these things, whether it was to sever the good corpse and become a quasi-saint of the two corpses, or to promote the divine way and pave the way for the establishment of the commercial order.

However, the result of these events was indeed that the time for Buddhism to flourish was extended, giving Taoism more time, thus creating cause and effect and driving changes in destiny.

It is because of these causes that we have today's result. Starting with the cause and ending with the result, this is a destiny.

In that instant, Yang Xuan felt something, as if he had suddenly realized something, and gained new insights into the Great Dao of Destiny and the Great Dao of Cause and Effect, and his cultivation level improved considerably.

This time, he could truly marvel at the wonder of fate!
After a while, Yang Xuan calmed his mind, took a step and disappeared from the Heavenly Court, arriving next to the Primordial Membrane. He took another step and entered the Chaos.

In the chaos, one cannot mobilize the power of the sun star, traverse space, or even the Great Dao of Space; one can only rely on supernatural powers to escape.

If Yang Xuan were still a Great Luo Golden Immortal, even with the guidance of Laozi's Dao, it would have taken at least tens of thousands of years to find the Tongtian Sect Master and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable in the chaos.

But now, he is one of the few Quasi-Saints in the entire prehistoric world, a true great power.

Even if cause and effect are not apparent, fate does not exist, and there is no concept of space and time in the chaos, with the Dao beacon given by Laozi, it will not take much time to find Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

"Ok?"

Just as Yang Xuan was about to take out the road sign, he suddenly sensed something and looked to his right front, as if something was calling to him from that direction.

When Yang Xuan first left the prehistoric world and entered the chaos with Haotian, he also had a moment when he had this feeling.

But it was only for a moment, and the feeling disappeared. Considering that this was chaos, and that there were chaotic gods and demons and extraterrestrial demons, he did not take it to heart.

When he returned from Zixiao Palace, this feeling recurred, making him wonder if there were some spiritual beings in the chaos surrounding the primordial world that he was destined to meet.

However, considering his cultivation level at the time, having only recently achieved the status of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the fact that Chaos Gods and Demons, as well as extraterrestrial demons, were lurking within the Chaos Realm, he did not rush over.

This time, the feeling returned, and it wasn't just fleeting.

He experienced this feeling three times in a row in the chaos near the primordial wilderness, which forced him to take it seriously.

"Go over and have a look."

Without much thought, seeing that the feeling had not yet disappeared, Yang Xuan immediately set off in the direction of the feeling.

But as soon as he activated his escape technique, that feeling disappeared.

In chaos, there are no concepts of time or space, and even cause and effect and fate do not exist.

Without guidance, finding a specific area in chaos is virtually impossible.

Even the sage Tongtian Sect Leader, who searched for the Chaos Bell in the chaos for so many years, never found it.

While the presence of the Chaos Bell, imbued with spiritual energy, is certainly a factor in its hiding from the Tongtian Sect Leader, the primary reason lies in the unique nature of the chaotic environment.
If even the Tongtian Sect Leader was like this, Yang Xuan was even less likely to be an exception.

Although the strange feeling that appeared three times in a row bothered him quite a bit, he didn't waste too much time in a place like Chaos.

After flying around the area without finding anything and without experiencing that feeling again, he put the matter aside for the time being, took out the Dao Beacon of the Tongtian Sect Master, and flew forward according to the beacon's guidance.

If this matter is truly destined for him, then that feeling will definitely reappear; there's no need to rush it.

If this matter is not meant for him, even if he spends several eons of time, he will not be able to gain anything in the chaos.

Time passed in the chaos, and Yang Xuan didn't know how long he had been flying. Ahead of him appeared a simple Taoist temple, its style exactly the same as Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island.

This is the Daoist temple that the Tongtian Sect Leader established in the chaos.

The four saints, including the Tongtian Sect Master, were merely stationed in the Chaos to prevent the Chaos Gods and Demons from infiltrating the Primordial World. They were not suffering in the Chaos, so naturally they had their own Daoist temple.

As soon as Yang Xuan approached the Taoist temple, before he could even ask the sage for instructions, he felt a blur before his eyes and the surrounding scenery distorted.

When he could see his surroundings clearly again, he arrived at the Taoist temple and saw the Tongtian Sect Leader sitting cross-legged on the cloud platform.

This scene immediately surprised Yang Xuan greatly.

There is no concept of space in the chaos, and even with Yang Xuan's understanding of the Great Dao of Space, he was unable to mobilize any spatial power.

However, the method used by the Tongtian Sect Leader just now was clearly to mobilize the power of space, folding the space between Yang Xuan and the Taoist temple, allowing him to directly enter the Taoist temple.

"Could it be... that this is a characteristic of sages? Sages can recreate concepts of the Great Dao, such as space, within chaos?"

Yang Xuan's eyes flickered as he began to have some guesses, but since the sage was right in front of him, he didn't think too much about it, since the sage was still a long way off for him.

Whether his thoughts are correct or not, he will know after he becomes a saint. Even if he doesn't know, he can ask Houtu Niangniang or Tongtian Jiaozhu at that time.

The most urgent matter right now is to invite the Tongtian Sect Leader to open the heavens. If possible, it would be even better to have him officially listed as a deity. (End of Chapter)
