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

The Netherworld, Fengdu Ghost Palace.

Yang Xuan glanced at the purple-gold pillar of light descending from the sky, and with a casual wave of his hand, he stored it in the Golden Wheel of Merit behind his head.

Compared to Zhen Yuanzi and Zu Long, Yang Xuan appeared much calmer.

For him, the Great Dao Merit was not some rare and precious treasure; the Five Virtues Mysterious Technique could transform the merits of the Heaven, Earth, and Human realms into the Great Dao Merit.

Although the conversion rate is very low, he has a lot of merits from the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and the Five Virtues Mystic Technique can automatically condense merits from the primordial world.

Even though the conversion rate is very low, he still has a lot of Great Dao merits, which are sustainable and renewable resources. Naturally, he will not be excited about gaining an extra amount of Great Dao merits.

On the contrary, Zhen Yuanzi's severing of his own corpse and becoming a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses made Yang Xuan nod in satisfaction.

Through the construction of spatial teleportation arrays over the years, Zhen Yuanzi and Kunpeng are, in the eyes of the Underworld, equivalent to Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao of the Heavenly Court.
Even though Yang Xuan is in seclusion for many years, Zhen Yuanzi and Kunpeng can handle the daily affairs of the Underworld for him, so he no longer has to be bothered by trivial matters.

As long as he grasps the overall direction, he can be a hands-off manager and achieve his previous goals.

Now that Zhen Yuanzi has severed his own corpse and become a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses, his cultivation will be difficult to advance further in the short term, which will allow him to better handle the affairs of the Underworld.

Furthermore, Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation has advanced further, and the Underworld now has two Quasi-Saints with Three Corpses: Styx Daoist and Zhen Yuanzi. Even if Houtu and Yang Xuan do not appear, it is enough to intimidate most of the prehistoric beings.

It can provide considerable help to the future development of the underworld and the maintenance of the cycle of reincarnation, and is more beneficial to the underworld.

Moreover, Kunpeng, like Zhen Yuanzi, is essentially Yang Xuan's representative in the underworld.
Originally, the two of them were equals, but now that Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation has advanced further and he has become a Quasi-Saint of the Three Corpses, Kunpeng will feel some pressure.

Furthermore, it was clear that Zhen Yuanzi was able to sever the corpse so quickly because of Yang Xuan.

Even if Kunpeng doesn't care about Yang Xuan's identity as a spokesperson, can he not care about the obsession with cutting off my corpse?

He wanted Yang Xuan to help him sever his own corpse in order to gain more merit and to give him an opportunity.

It's easy to imagine that in the coming period, Kunpeng will work even harder to demonstrate its abilities, generate more benefits for the underworld, and prove its worth.

Conversely, even if Zhen Yuanzi had already achieved the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint level, seeing Kunpeng working so hard, how could he not put on a good show?
Yang Xuan believed that, given Zhen Yuanzi's intelligence, even if he hadn't noticed it before, he would have been able to after achieving the Three Corpses Quasi-Saint status.

The primordial world has changed. The Three Corpse Quasi-Saint is no longer the limit. The threshold for becoming a Sub-Saint has become lower. Things that were impossible before are not necessarily impossible now.

As the only being who has successfully broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm solely through his own efforts, Yang Xuan's experience is of considerable reference value.

If you want to gain insights and experience from Yang Xuan, you either have to trade with him using spiritual items or you have to perform well.

In terms of wealth, Yang Xuan is even more wealthy than some saints, possessing numerous top-grade acquired spiritual treasures, top-grade innate spiritual treasures, and top-grade innate spiritual roots.

To trade spiritual objects with Yang Xuan, or even to trade for insights gained from breaking through to the Quasi-Saint level, would require an incredibly foolish mindset.

Unless Zhen Yuanzi offers the Earth Book in exchange, there might be some hope, but it's only some hope.

The Earth Book is Zhen Yuanzi's most treasured spiritual treasure. Without it, his strength would drop by at least 30%. Unless absolutely necessary, he would never use the Earth Book for trading.

On the contrary, it would be more practical to work for Yang Xuan and make a good impression.

Over the years, Zhen Yuanzi has come to the conclusion that Yang Xuan is never stingy with his own people. As long as they are dutiful and perform well, Yang Xuan will reward them handsomely.

Over time, one may gain insights and experience that lead to a breakthrough to the level of a near-saint.

Anyway, he has only just broken through to the Three Corpse Quasi-Saint realm and needs to consolidate his realm. It's impossible for him to break through so quickly. There is enough time for him to show off.

Yang Xuan withdrew his gaze, not dwelling on the matter, believing that Zhen Yuanzi would make the right choice.

If Zhen Yuanzi is unwilling to cooperate, that's fine too. Yang Xuan has backup options. It's just about handling the daily affairs of the underworld, and it's not like he can't do without Zhen Yuanzi.

Yang Xuan had already gained enough benefits from establishing mountain gods and land gods and constructing spatial teleportation arrays, so even if Zhen Yuanzi wanted to withdraw, he would not suffer any losses.

Of course, if Zhen Yuanzi is willing to continue following him, he will not be short of benefits from Zhen Yuanzi.

Although he himself had only just broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, it was unlikely that he could help others break through to the Quasi-Saint level.

But just as Zhen Yuanzi thought, Yang Xuan, as the first being in the prehistoric world to break through to the level of a sub-sage solely through his own efforts, has valuable experience and insights.

If Yang Xuan were willing to share his experience and insights on breakthroughs, it would definitely make all living beings in the prehistoric world envious.

For Zhen Yuanzi, this was one of the benefits.

Besides, as the owner of the Heaven and Earth Money House, how could Yang Xuan be without the merits of his subordinates?
Moreover, Yang Xuan does have some immature ideas about breaking through to the Quasi-Saint level. Once his cultivation improves, these ideas may become more feasible.

Once one's cultivation reaches the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal or Quasi-Saint, as long as a great calamity does not descend, time is just a number, and Yang Xuan has plenty of time to slowly refine these ideas.

Compared to being a Quasi-Saint, the more important thing right now is to help those around me break through to the Quasi-Saint level.

Bixiao, Xingtian, Jiutian Xuannv, and Xuanniu have all reached the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. They only need a catalyst to sever their corpses and become Quasi-Saints.

Even the likes of Giant Spirit God and Shen Gongbao have already broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and are not far from opening the Three Flowers. They can also prepare to sever their corpses and become Quasi-Saints.

Quasi-Saints do not enter the Great Tribulation. As long as one can become a Quasi-Saint, no matter how the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West develops, Yang Xuan will not have to worry about the birth of people around him.

With him watching over them, the people around him would not be able to willingly enter into a calamity and seek death like Kong Xuan did.

As for how to get these people to dismember their corpses, Yang Xuan didn't just have immature ideas, but had a complete and feasible plan.

He now has two choices.

Firstly, let Bixiao and others cultivate Confucianism, nourish themselves with righteousness and integrity, sever their good corpses, and become quasi-saints.

Secondly, while it also involves Bixiao and others cultivating Confucianism, they only use righteous qi to nourish themselves, instead of achieving quasi-sainthood by severing their good corpses.
Instead, he first cuts out the evil corpse, and then, through the nurturing of righteous energy, cuts out the good corpse, ultimately achieving the status of a quasi-saint with two corpses.

Through Yang Xuan's observations and verifications over the years, he discovered that righteous energy does not only help in the expulsion of the benevolent corpse, but also helps in the expulsion of all three corpses.

It is most effective at severing the good corpse, followed by the evil corpse, and the effect of severing the self corpse is relatively the worst.

The first method is more stable. As long as one's comprehension is not too poor, one can basically sever the good corpse and achieve quasi-sainthood. The only difference is the time it takes.

The second method has a higher ceiling.

Nurturing one's righteous spirit over many years can help in exorcising the evil corpse, but it is even more helpful in exorcising the good corpse.

As long as one can sever the evil corpse, one can sever the good corpse in a shorter time, just like Yang Xuan did, and become a quasi-saint with two corpses.

However, compared to the first method, this method requires a higher level of understanding and foundational knowledge. Even with the assistance of righteous energy, not everyone can successfully sever the evil corpse. Of course, with the help of accumulating merit, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.

However, if too much merit is spent on severing the evil corpse, the difficulty of severing the good corpse and achieving the status of a quasi-saint with two corpses will increase accordingly.
As for cutting off my corpse in the future, that will be even more difficult.

Rather than doing that, it's safer to choose the first method: achieving quasi-saint status by severing the good corpse.

However, for many beings, achieving the status of a quasi-saint is the ultimate goal.

As long as they don't court death or perish in the primordial chaos, they won't perish prematurely, giving them ample time to cultivate, break through, and improve their cultivation.

With this in mind, the answer to how to choose becomes clear: teach according to aptitude.

For beings whose potential is limited, reaching the quasi-saint level is their limit, there's no need to consider severing the good and evil parts of their bodies.
Choosing the first option, being able to sever the good corpse and achieve quasi-sainthood is already an unparalleled opportunity.

For those beings with considerable comprehension and innate talent, for whom the first stage of quasi-sainthood is not the ultimate limit, the second option can be chosen.
While achieving Quasi-Saint status takes longer, the time and success rate of achieving Dual-Corpse Quasi-Saint status can be improved.

After thinking it over carefully, Yang Xuan made a decision. Then, he tapped his finger lightly and sent out several telepathic messages, which reached the ears of Bi Xiao, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, and others.

To maximize the effect of righteousness, in addition to studying Confucianism, one must also go to a Confucian academy for training.

The best choice, of course, is Confucius's courtyard, the place in the entire primordial world where the spirit of righteousness is most abundant.
But it is also a sacred place of Confucianism, and not just any living being can approach it, let alone enter it.

Coincidentally, Yang Xuan was not only the Great Emperor of Heaven and Earth, a great sage of the human race, and a true Buddha of the Buddhist sect, but also the vice leader of Confucianism.

In principle, even Confucian disciples should not easily enter Confucius's courtyard, but Yang Xuan is the principle itself. If he wants to arrange for some people to go in, who can say anything?

Moreover, he always acts with discretion and has never taken advantage of others for nothing, much less cause trouble for them.

In the telepathic messages Yang Xuan sent to Bixiao and the others, besides instructing them to go to Confucius's courtyard for quiet meditation,

He also instructed them to leave the Confucius courtyard in batches every now and then to help spread Confucianism and solve some problems.

When it comes to reasoning, people from Heaven and the Underworld like Bixiao are quite experienced, especially in reasoning beyond words.

For a newly established religion like Confucianism, which is relatively weak overall but has a huge influence, it will inevitably face some degree of targeting.

What Confucianism needs most are people who are good at reasoning, to help them reason with certain unpleasant guests.

The group of people selected by Yang Xuan were all Grand Luo Golden Immortals with rich combat experience. They were not invincible among their peers, but they were among the best.

To put it simply, as long as a Quasi-Saint doesn't appear, there's no argument they can't refute.

If a Quasi-Saint were to bully the weak, then the reasonable ones would become the four Quasi-Saints of the Three Corpses: Styx Daoist, Zhen Yuanzi, Haotian, and the Queen Mother. Presumably, no Quasi-Saint would be so foolish.

Upon learning of Bixiao and the others' arrival, Confucius was overjoyed, his worried expression vanishing.

Confucius possessed an exceptionally high level of comprehension, almost frighteningly so, and was also favored by humanity. Although he severed his cultivation and fell from the quasi-sage level, he was still fortunate enough to achieve this.

However, before a multi-faceted meeting, he once again severed his corpse and became a quasi-saint.

Moreover, this time, he didn't sever the good corpse, but the evil corpse; he truly relied entirely on himself to sever the corpse.

It was precisely because he severed his evil corpse and became a quasi-saint that he was greatly troubled.

When he was still a Great Luo Golden Immortal, if a Great Luo Golden Immortal came to cause trouble, he could still reason with him, whether it was good or bad.

However, after achieving the status of a quasi-saint, he could only reason with people, and some of his reasoning was no longer effective.

Aside from Confucius, the Confucian school doesn't have many powerful warriors, which has made their situation increasingly precarious in recent years.

If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Court and the Underworld were too busy with their affairs and he didn't want to cause trouble for Yang Xuan, he would have wanted to ask Yang Xuan for help.

Now that he has received news of the arrival of the Great Luo Golden Immortals such as Bixiao, it has relieved him of a great trouble. Presumably, some beings will be quieter for a while in the future.

As for letting Bixiao and others stay in Confucius's courtyard, Confucius didn't care at all.

The courtyard is for people to live in, so what's wrong with letting Bixiao and the others live there?
If Confucianism weren't so weak overall, and if it weren't for the fact that it's not good to talk about certain things in advance, opening up the Confucius Courtyard to the public wouldn't be out of the question.

Since the Confucius Courtyard is currently empty, it's best to let Bixiao and the others stay there. It's a win-win situation, and neither side will incur any karmic debts. Everyone is happy, so it's the best choice.

And so, Bixiao and the others moved into Confucius's courtyard and, following Yang Xuan's instructions, began preparations for the dismemberment of the corpse.

As long as they don't become too lax, severing the corpse will definitely not be a problem. At that time, even if the beings of the prehistoric world are numb, they will still be shocked.

After all, the sight of so many living beings being slaughtered one after another is a grand spectacle that only occurs during lectures at Zixiao Palace!

Yang Xuan was at least 90% certain about Bi Xiao and the others' ability to dismember the corpses.

These people all have accumulated merit, have a cultivation plan tailored to them by Yang Xuan, and are nurtured by righteous energy, making it very difficult for them to fail.

Yang Xuan didn't pay much attention. After sending the message, he went to the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation.

Over the years, under the continuous transformation of the Yin-Yang Reversal Dragon Gate Formation, the number of species in the Netherworld has undergone earth-shattering changes, and it is no longer the sparsely populated place it once was.

Furthermore, these beings can reproduce normally after completing their bloodline transformation. The underworld controls the cycle of life and death, and the reproduction of beings is one of its components.

Through normal reproduction, the number of these creatures has multiplied several times!
Similarly, the races in the human and celestial realms that have shrunk due to bloodline transformation have a back door opened by the underworld. Through normal reproduction over the years, their numbers have long exceeded their peak.

As for cultivation level, that can be taken slowly. The elders in the clan are more than capable of protecting the clan's development.

"Not bad, not bad, everything is developing in a good direction. The more prosperous the Primordial World becomes, the more beneficial it will be for my future path."

Yang Xuan smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

However, he came here not to see the changes in the creatures of the Netherworld, but for his own path to enlightenment.

Or rather, to confirm one's suspicions.

When he was establishing the space teleportation network, he had three plans for its future development—

Transportation, delivery services, and shopping platforms.

He came here today for the transportation plan, which is a prerequisite for the latter two plans.

How can you deliver food if you don't even have an electric scooter?! (End of Chapter)
