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

"Buddha, quickly summon the sage!"

Upon hearing Yang Xuan's announcement, Ran Deng's expression changed drastically. He finally realized what an important opportunity he had lost.

If his measuring rod hadn't been lost, if Zhao Gongming had been worshipped to death by Jiang Ziya, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls would have fallen into his hands.

So the one who will announce the creation of the world today will not be Yang Xuan, but Randeng!
However... there is still a chance for things to turn around.

This matter was destined for him. As long as he could stop Yang Xuan from creating the heavens, and since he already knew about it, even if the Measuring Ruler was not in his hands, with the help of the two Western Saints, he still had a chance to complete the feat of creating the heavens.

He had a vague feeling that if he were to complete the feat of creating the world and obtain the opportunity that was rightfully his, his cultivation might advance further, allowing him to sever his good corpse and become a quasi-saint!
The only problem now is how to stop Yang Xuan from opening the sky.

Given Yang Xuan's consistent style, the fact that he has begun to proclaim the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man means that he has made all the necessary preparations.

It's impossible to stop them with someone as powerful as him, or even a quasi-saint like Tathagata. By the time they return, everything will have already been settled.

Only if the two Western Saints cast their gaze upon this matter could it possibly be stopped.

In fact, there was no need for the lamp to remind him; the Buddha was already prepared to call upon the names of the two Western Saints, asking them to lower their gaze and stop Yang Xuan from opening the heavens.

Although the creation of the world was not his destiny, would the outcome be the same whether Yang Xuan or a Buddhist monk created the world?

Yang Xuan is an enemy of Buddhism. If Yang Xuan were to create the Twenty-Four Heavens and become the master of the Twenty-Four Heavens of Buddhism...

Doesn't that mean Yang Xuan has the lifeblood of Buddhism in his hands? From now on, Buddhism will be at Yang Xuan's mercy to a certain extent.

This will not only bring shame to Buddhism, but will also cause it to suffer huge losses!

No matter what, we must not let Yang Xuan create a new world.

Even if the goal is to establish the Twenty-Four Heavens, it should be done by the Buddhist community itself. How can it be acceptable to let an outsider do it, especially one of the Buddhist community's enemies?

Om-!
But before the Buddha could speak, another mysterious wave emanated from Mount Sumeru, instantly spreading throughout the three realms of the primordial world.

And with the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the events that occurred on Mount Sumeru were transmitted to the eyes of all living beings in the primordial world.

At the summit of Mount Sumeru, Yang Xuan sat cross-legged above the Pure Land of Bliss, with twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls floating beside him, stabilizing the surrounding space and creating twenty-four spatial nodes.

Through these spatial nodes, one can see the rudiments of worlds filled with chaotic energy.

Under Yang Xuan's control, more and more chaotic energy poured in from the void and flowed into these twenty-four worlds, perfecting them at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, these twenty-four nascent worlds transformed into a bubble world, which continues to expand at an ever-increasing rate.

A moment later, this bubble world expanded into a small world, and then into a small world... a miniature world.

Only when it transformed into a world of thousands did its expansion begin to slow down.

Yang Xuan, sitting cross-legged in the center of the twenty-four worlds above the Pure Land of Bliss, had a serious expression, and his usually straight back was now slightly bent.

Clearly, things have reached a point where Yang Xuan is nearing his limit.

However, no one thought Yang Xuan's strength was lacking. Even if they were both Quasi-Saints with Two Corpses, it would be impossible for them to open up twenty-four Middle Thousand Worlds at the same time.

Even for quasi-saints like Haotian and the Queen Mother, who possess the Three Corpses, it would be difficult to establish the Twenty-Four Heavens at such an astonishing speed in the same time.

"Looks like I've reached my limit..."

The powerful beings in Heaven sighed regretfully as they looked at Yang Xuan's increasingly hunched back.

With the cultivation level of a Quasi-Saint of Two Corpses, it is clearly impossible for him to create twenty-four Great Thousand Worlds.

However, if he cannot achieve the goal of opening up the twenty-four great worlds in one step, then what Yang Xuan is doing today may become a wedding dress for Buddhism.

Ultimately, Yang Xuan was just an outsider. How could he possibly compete with the entire Buddhist sect for control of the Twenty-Four Heavens?

If Yang Xuan could achieve this in one step, he could open up these twenty-four into a vast world, transforming them into the twenty-four heavens of Buddhism, thus perfecting Buddhist doctrines.

As the creator of these Twenty-Four Heavens, Yang Xuan is naturally the master of the Twenty-Four Heavens of Buddhism, and no one can shake his position.

However, if Yang Xuan cannot achieve the goal in one step, he can only open up twenty-four middle-thousand worlds.

Then Buddhism would have an opportunity to participate in the creation of the world, transforming the twenty-four middle chiliocosms into twenty-four great chiliocosms.

In this way, the Buddhas of Buddhism are also the creators of the Twenty-Four Heavens. Yang Xuan may still be the master of the secrets of the Twenty-Four Heavens of Buddhism, but he will no longer be the only master.

The Buddhas of Buddhism, as the creators of the Twenty-Four Heavens, can also be the masters of these Twenty-Four Heavens, possessing certain authority and able to limit Yang Xuan to some extent.

If, in the process of transforming these twenty-four middle-thousand worlds into a great-thousand world, the Buddhist sect excluded Yang Xuan and made the majority of the contribution,
They could then gain more power, marginalize Yang Xuan, and it's not impossible for them to dominate the Twenty-Four Heavens of Buddhism.

So everything Yang Xuan is doing now is just doing a favor for Buddhism!

It not only points out the shortcomings of Buddhism, but also opens up twenty-four directions of the middle thousand worlds for Buddhism, saving Buddhism a lot of worlds and spiritual objects.

"Humph! It's too much!"

"Does he really think that a Quasi-Saint is invincible? He even dares to usurp my place and open up the heavens within my Buddhist sect!"

Ran Deng snorted coldly, a smile appearing on his face.
Tathagata, standing to the side, also smiled. Judging from the current situation, Yang Xuan simply did not have the ability to open up the Twenty-Four Heavens into a Great Thousand World.

More importantly, he had already invoked the names of the two Western Saints and told them about Yang Xuan's creation of the heavens.

At this moment, the two Western Saints descended from the chaos and looked at Mount Sumeru. They gazed at the twenty-four heavens created by Yang Xuan and a faint smile appeared on their faces.

"The young man still can't calm down. If he could be more patient and wait until he has severed his own corpse before attempting to create the world, perhaps he would have succeeded. But now..."

Jieyin smiled jokingly, "Now, everything he has done will become a great help to the prosperity of Buddhism. We should thank him."

"For him to make the two of us saints say thank you, he is the number one person in the primordial world. He must be very happy."

Zhunti smiled, clearly in a very good mood.

Over the years, Yang Xuan has caused a lot of trouble for Buddhism. The reason why Buddhism has fallen to its current state can be said to be due to Yang Xuan.

Seeing Yang Xuan suffer a setback, all that he had done would become a boost to the prosperity of Buddhism, benefiting Buddhist disciples and giving him a sense of satisfaction in avenging his great grudge.

However, they did not let their guard down. Instead, they focused their attention on Mount Sumeru and diverted a portion of their attention to the place of reincarnation, the Nuwa Palace, and the Eight Views Palace.

Judging from Yang Xuan's current situation, it is clearly impossible for him to accomplish the feat of creating the world on his own.

But if a sage were to help, things would be different. Yang Xuan's only problem is that his own strength is lacking, and he seems to be running out of steam. If he were given some assistance to supplement his magical power and allow him to mobilize more of the power of heaven and earth, he might actually be able to continue.

If Yang Xuan were to create twenty-four great worlds, then Buddhism would have no chance to intervene. It wouldn't be like doing a wedding dress for Buddhism, but rather like driving a nail into the heart of Buddhism!
Now that they have lowered their gaze, they cannot allow such a thing to happen.

They would absolutely not allow any external force to affect what was happening on Mount Sumeru; they wanted Yang Xuan to abandon the matter of severing the heavens due to exhaustion.

Only in this way can it be considered that Yang Xuan voluntarily gave up, that Yang Xuan himself lacked the ability, and then the Buddhist sect's participation in the creation of the Twenty-Four Heavens would become a matter of course and would not be rejected by Heaven and Earth.

Of course, if the two Western Saints diverted their attention to the places of reincarnation, Nuwa's Palace, and the Eight Trigrams Palace, they would also be restrained by Houtu and the other two if anything happened to Mount Sumeru.

However, in their view, this risk was nothing at all, or rather...

They didn't see any risk at all.

Creating a vast world is an extremely difficult task, even for Yang Xuan, who is a Quasi-Saint with two corpses and has considerable experience in creating worlds.

Creating just one great world might not be a problem, but creating twenty-four great worlds at the same time is something that even a quasi-saint cannot do.

Even with the help of the three quasi-sages of the human race, they could only replenish Yang Xuan's missing magical power, but could not mobilize more of the power of heaven and earth for Yang Xuan, so it would be impossible to help Yang Xuan open up the Great Thousand World.

To create a world, especially a vast world, the key is not magical power, but the power of heaven and earth.

If you can't mobilize enough of the power of heaven and earth, no matter how much magic power you have, it's useless.

Therefore, as long as the saint can be stopped, then Buddhism will be the biggest winner in this matter!
at the same time.

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

Yang Xuan slowly opened his eyes and sighed helplessly.

"Indeed, relying solely on one's own cultivation, even with the aid of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, creating twenty-four middle-thousand worlds is already the limit..."

Yang Xuan was not surprised by this result.

He did this simply to verify what he had learned over the years, to gain more experience in creating new worlds, and to further improve his success rate.

In any case, after he proclaimed the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, his creation of the heavens was already protected by the primordial world, and even a sage would not dare to interrupt it.

The two Western Saints, in particular, dared not interrupt Yang Xuan's creation of the heavens.

If this matter is interrupted, it is likely to be rejected by heaven and earth. Even if they have extraordinary abilities, it will probably be difficult to make up for this loss.

Moreover, Yang Xuan has always been prudent in his actions, so how could he not have been wary of the two Western Saints?
In fact, many years ago, he went to the place of earthly reincarnation and asked the Goddess Houtu to help him when necessary and stop the two Western Saints for a moment.

Although the opening of the Twenty-Four Heavens of Buddhism is not closely related to the Netherworld, Yang Xuan's contributions to the Netherworld and the Underworld are undeniable. How could she not help with this small favor?

Moreover, if Yang Xuan can really accomplish this, the underground passage will also benefit, at least eliminating a potential threat and preventing the two Western Saints from keeping it in mind.

Yang Xuan did this precisely because he had no worries about the future and could gain more experience, which would help him in opening up the vast world.

Now that we've done enough of what we needed to do, and the two Western Saints have already lowered their gaze, there's no need to continue.

"It's time to end it!"

Yang Xuan's gaze narrowed slightly. He picked up the rule ruler that was placed on his lap and gently waved it. All the power of heaven and earth inside and outside Mount Sumeru was mobilized by Yang Xuan and gathered on the rule ruler.

"not good!!"

The two Western Saints sensed the changes around Mount Sumeru and looked at the power of heaven and earth gathered on the Ruler of Rules; their expressions changed drastically.

As they themselves said, the key to creating the vast world was not magic power, but the power of heaven and earth.

If one cannot mobilize enough power from heaven and earth, no matter how much magical power one has, one cannot break through the barrier of the Middle Thousand Worlds.

However, if there is enough power of heaven and earth, even if the power of magic is insufficient, it is still possible to make the middle thousand worlds break through the limits and evolve into the great thousand worlds.

Yang Xuan's magical power was not exhausted, and now he mobilized all the power of heaven and earth inside and outside Mount Sumeru, gathering it on the Ruler of Rules.

With the wisdom of the two Western Sages, how could they not see that this level of power of heaven and earth was enough to allow the twenty-four middle worlds to break through their limits and evolve into a great world?

This will prevent Buddhism from interfering again, allowing them to firmly hold their position as rulers of the Twenty-Four Heavenly Kings!

An outsider, an enemy of Buddhism, yet he became the master of the Twenty-Four Devas of Buddhism, occupying a place on Mount Sumeru, a place that is fundamental to Buddhism.

If Buddhism wants to flourish in the future, it will be impossible to bypass the Twenty-Four Devas, and many things will depend on Yang Xuan's mood.

This is far more serious than slapping Buddhism in the face. This is clearly what Buddhism wanted to do to the divine path in the past, a usurpation of power!

We must never allow Yang Xuan to create the Twenty-Four Heavens!

Without the slightest hesitation, the two Western Saints made their decision immediately.

Even if interrupting Yang Xuan's creation of heaven and earth would incur the wrath of heaven and earth, there would still be a chance to make amends. It would simply require spending more time and further delaying the rise of Buddhism.

But if Yang Xuan were to usurp the throne and become the ruler of all the Buddhist realms, there would be no chance to drive him away again.

They could still tell which was more important and which was less important.

Of course, neither of them wanted to choose, but seeing that Yang Xuan was about to create twenty-four great worlds, they had no choice but to make a decision.

Even if the choice is terrible, they have no choice but to accept it.

Just then, the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Netherworld shone brightly, enveloping all the energy that the two Western Saints had poured into the primordial world. Houtu's gentle voice echoed in their ears.

"Young friend Yang Xuan's actions are beneficial to the prehistoric world and also improve Buddhist doctrines. It is a good deed. As the leaders of Buddhism, you two should be grateful."

A good deed? Gratitude? Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say that? How could such a cunning and treacherous person, a sworn enemy of Buddhism, be so kind?

If he were to accomplish this, it's hard to say whether the Buddha would still have the final say in Buddhism!

The two Western Saints turned pale and had no intention of wasting words with Houtu. They immediately tried to withdraw their full attention and interrupt Yang Xuan to open the heavens.

However, Houtu's true form was in the primordial world, and her cultivation was stronger than that of the two Western Saints. The two Western Saints only returned part of their minds to the primordial world, so how could they be compared to her?

Even though Houtu didn't exert much effort, she still managed to hold off the two Western Saints for a moment.

That brief delay determined the final outcome of the matter! (End of Chapter)
