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

The primordial world, the Heavenly Court.

Yang Xuan sat cross-legged, with the Five Virtues Light Wheel floating behind his head.

Before him floated seven things imbued with the essence of the sage's way:
Houtu's Six Paths of Reincarnation, Tongtian Jiaozhu's Qingping Sword Qi, Yuanshi Tianzun's Refining Manual, Taiqing Shengren's Taiji Yin-Yang Fish, Nuwa Niangniang's Creation Clay Doll, and the Bodhi Seed and White Lotus of the Two Western Saints.

As all the sages know, what Yang Xuan needs most is not some spiritual treasure or spiritual root, but an understanding of the Great Dao.

Therefore, all the gifts they sent were their insights into the Great Dao.

After arranging for the evil corpse to go to Zixiao Palace, his true form came to the Heavenly Court to study the congratulatory gifts sent by the saints.

Because of his establishment of the Way of Commerce and the creation of the Heavenly Evolution Abacus, Yang Xuan had some contact with these great principles of the sages.

Now that he has attained sainthood, Yang Xuan's cultivation has reached an even higher level. As the saying goes, once one law is mastered, all laws are mastered. Now, it is much easier for him to comprehend these great laws than before.

Furthermore, the congratulatory gifts from the sages contained their insights into the Great Dao, making it even easier for Yang Xuan to comprehend them.

In less than a Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese mythology), Yang Xuan's understanding of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, the Great Dao of Creation, the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, and other Great Daos all exceeded 50%.

Yang Xuan had a good understanding of the Great Dao of Creation before, and suddenly reached nearly 80%!
Among these great paths, several are fundamental to the business path. As one's understanding of these paths deepens, the business path becomes more complete and its power increases.

Tens of thousands of years is but a fleeting moment, even for a quasi-saint.

However, in these tens of thousands of years, Yang Xuan's cultivation level has significantly improved, and his realm after breaking through to the Hunyuan stage has stabilized.

In terms of cultivation, Yang Xuan had only just broken through to the Hunyuan realm, less than a Yuanhui, so naturally he couldn't compare to established saints like the Three Pure Ones.

However, Yang Xuan was still somewhat confident in his ability to fight.

In modern terms, the Way of Business is a strange mechanism. With his understanding and application of the Way of Business, it is not impossible for him to be on par with the two Western saints.

Only after reaching this point could Yang Xuan establish himself in the Hunyuan realm, and even be considered a skilled fighter.

Even if the Chaos Gods and Demons attack in the future, with his current strength, those veteran Primordial Chaos experts wouldn't dare to underestimate him.
If anyone dares to underestimate him, they will definitely pay a heavy price, and might even lose their life and fall into a deep sleep again.

At that moment, Yang Xuan felt something and looked up at the sky. What was happening on the evil corpse's side was synchronized with his main body, allowing him to understand the influence of the Destiny Wheel.

Of all the great Daos he has comprehended, his understanding of the Dao of Destiny is the deepest, reaching 99%. He is only one step away from completely mastering this innate Dao.

As the fundamental principle that constitutes the business path, if one can fully comprehend this principle, one can not only better control the river of destiny, but also advance the business path to a higher level.

The benefits to Yang Xuan are greater than all the gains he has made over the years.

But no matter which path it is, whether it's innate or acquired, this last step is the most difficult to cross, and it's even possible to never cross it in one's entire life.

Even though Yang Xuan has now attained sainthood and is favored by the river of fate, it will still take a long time for him to take this final step, at least ten eons.

He is now almost certain that the return of the Chaos Gods and Demons is inevitable.

Even if the primordial world successfully evolves into the myriad realms, the chaotic gods and demons will surely return before the primordial world becomes the eternal true realm.

Yang Xuan couldn't guarantee that the Chaos Gods and Demons wouldn't return within ten Yuanhui.

Yang Xuan always sought stability in his actions. After hearing from the Dao Ancestor about the decline of the Dao and the rise of the demons, he planned to improve his cultivation as much as possible within the next ten Yuanhui.

Now that he has sensed the unusual movement in his destiny chart, how could he let this opportunity pass?

He has mastered 99% of the Great Dao of Destiny, and the Destiny Chart has played a huge role in helping him.

If one could obtain another fragment of the Destiny Plate, the time required to take the final step and fully grasp the Great Dao of Destiny would be greatly reduced.

Even if it's just a small fragment that can only provide some help, Yang Xuan is confident that he can completely master the Great Dao of Destiny within ten Yuanhui!
As one of the most mysterious innate Daos, the Dao of Destiny, aside from its enhancement of business acumen, would greatly boost Yang Xuan's strength if he could fully master it.

However, obtaining this fragment of the Fate Compass is probably not an easy task.

What is now certain is that many of the original three thousand gods and demons have been resurrected, and among them may be the gods and demons of destiny.

The Fate Compass is a chaotic spiritual treasure of the God of Fate and Demons. Yang Xuan was lucky enough to find a fragment of the Fate Compass.

His luck couldn't last forever. He was able to sense another fragment through the fragment of the Fate Compass. Perhaps the God of Fate was also sensing this and was searching for this fragment as well.

If that's really the case, Yang Xuan will likely have to fight this chaotic god-demon.

The God of Destiny and the Demon of Fate attained the Primordial Chaos through the Great Dao of Destiny, and their strength is by no means weak. Even though they have just been resurrected and their strength has not yet returned to its peak, they are still not to be underestimated.

The safest approach would be to call upon others and bring several sages along.

Even if the God of Destiny is incredibly powerful, could he possibly steal Yang Xuan's Destiny Plate when facing multiple opponents?
Yang Xuan believed that as long as he asked, Houtu would definitely lend a hand, and the Tongtian Sect Leader would most likely help as well.

But after thinking about it, Yang Xuan gave up on the plan.

There's nothing wrong with clinging to powerful figures; Yang Xuan has always believed that powerful figures, like luck, are part of one's strength.

But when faced with a problem, thinking of clinging to powerful figures is not a good habit.

He has now attained sainthood and is qualified to face the chaotic gods and demons.

Even if the God of Destiny is the best among the three thousand gods and demons, he is qualified to fight him, and even if he can't win, he can still retreat unscathed.

Moreover, his purpose in going there this time was not to fight against the gods and demons of fate, but simply to retrieve the fragments of the Fate Compass.

This has always been what he does best.

When he was still a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he was able to 'borrow' the Human Seed Bag from Maitreya, a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Given that both are at the Hunyuan level, even if the God of Destiny has a higher cultivation level, it shouldn't be too difficult for Yang Xuan to simply take back what belongs to him.

After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Yang Xuan decided to go and see this chaotic god and demon himself.

Just as Yang Xuan was about to set off, he suddenly frowned slightly and saw a woman walking towards the Temple of Fate, but no immortals noticed her along the way.

Nowadays, the Heavenly Court is the most powerful force in the prehistoric world. Even if the three quasi-saints of the human race enter the Heavenly Court, they have to follow the procedures. Who would dare to sneak into the Heavenly Court?

Strangely, the woman didn't seem to be sneaking into the Heavenly Court; she just didn't want to be seen by those around her.

Under normal circumstances, Yang Xuan wouldn't mind watching from the sidelines, but right now, he was in a hurry to find the fragments of the Fate Plate, so he didn't have time to waste on this person.

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, Yang Xuan brought the woman into the Temple of Fate and she appeared before him.

"Who are you, and what business do you have in my Heavenly Court?"

Upon hearing Yang Xuan's voice, the woman looked around and couldn't help but show a surprised expression, clearly astonished by Yang Xuan's supernatural abilities.

"Did he really just attain enlightenment? Could this be the extraordinary thing about establishing one's own path and becoming a saint?"

The woman looked Yang Xuan up and down, unable to hide the shock on her face. She knew that it wouldn't be long before Yang Xuan discovered her arrival.

But she didn't expect Yang Xuan to discover it so quickly, and she didn't expect that she would be pulled into the Temple of Fate by Yang Xuan as soon as she realized it, before she could even put up a resistance.

If Yang Xuan had intended to harm her at that time, she would have lost the initiative.

Although this wasn't her true form, doing this to her wasn't an easy task.

It is absolutely impossible for someone who has just attained sainthood and whose realm has not yet been stabilized to do this.

The fact is, Yang Xuan did it, and he did it so casually.

"His business acumen has yet to reach its limit. Perhaps it won't be long before he surpasses some established Mixed Origin Realm experts. This rate of growth will be truly astonishing."

If I don't hurry, I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to surrender..."

This woman was none other than the Seven Emotions Demon, one of the three thousand gods and demons. She had lingered in the Heavenly Court for tens of thousands of years before finally waiting for Yang Xuan to emerge from seclusion.

She walked towards the Temple of Fate, wanting to see Yang Xuan and test his intentions.

Unexpectedly, before she even got close, Yang Xuan had already discovered her and pulled her into the Temple of Fate from a distance.

Such behavior is not at all like that of someone who has just attained sainthood.

After a moment of silence, the Seven Emotions Demon decided to abandon the idea of ​​probing for information.

Yang Xuan has only been a Daoist for less than a Yuanhui, yet such a change has already occurred. If we were to waste time probing her intentions, by the time we meet again, even her true form might be exposed.

This wasn't just something she made up; it was a conclusion she reached after careful consideration.

Although Yang Xuan attained sainthood through the way of business, it is an indisputable fact that he could manipulate the river of destiny.

This means that he has considerable skill in the path of destiny, and with the assistance of the River of Destiny,
With his Hunyuan cultivation and the authority of a sage, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find a thread of fate and the location of the original body in the Seven Emotions Demon God.

"But then again, if you don't have such expertise in the path of destiny, even if I wanted to surrender, I wouldn't have any pledge of allegiance to offer."

However, it's unreasonable to offer a pledge of allegiance right off the bat.

The Seven Emotions Demon God pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Yang Xuan above, bowed, and inquired:
"May I ask, Sage, what is your opinion on the three thousand gods and demons?"

Chaos Gods and Demons?

Yang Xuan's expression remained calm, but he was slightly taken aback, not expecting to hear the term "three thousand gods and demons" from this person's mouth.

In the present primordial world, there are not many people who know about the Chaos Gods and Demons, and even fewer who know about the Three Thousand Gods and Demons.

But then, Yang Xuan suddenly realized something.

The creatures of the primordial world may not know about the three thousand gods and demons, but what if this woman in front of them is the embodiment of those three thousand gods and demons?
"So here's a new question: what does he want from me? Does he want to recruit me?"

Yang Xuan found it amusing; his Dao was related to the Primordial Rest, and could even be said to be inseparable from it.

The more prosperous the primordial world, the more profound his cultivation and the stronger he becomes.

As long as the Chaos Gods and Demons still harbor thoughts of destroying the primordial world, they are naturally antagonistic and there is no possibility of cooperation.

Anyone with a basic understanding of business principles and Yang Xuan's work over the years should know this.

The Chaos Gods and Demons aren't stupid; how could they not know this? So why go to all this trouble?

"Maybe she's not here to recruit me, but rather to recruit me?"

Yang Xuan suddenly had a bold idea, but was it even possible? Could a chaotic god or demon suddenly come to him seeking refuge?

But if this is true, the surrender of a chaotic god or demon would greatly help the subsequent rise and fall of demons, the evolution of the primordial world into myriad realms, and the future descent of gods and demons.

To some extent, this can be transformed into a situation where the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark.

However, the premise is that the other party is genuinely willing to surrender, and not just pretending to surrender as a spy.

Yang Xuan thought for a moment and decided to go along with what the other person was saying.

He gave the Seven Emotions Demon a meaningful look and said with a smile:

"If you asked this question to other sages in the primordial world, their attitude would probably not be very pleasant."
But I was born rather late, and therefore have little understanding of the chaotic gods and demons, let alone the three thousand gods and demons.

At this point, Yang Xuan stood up, as if looking down over the entire primordial world, and continued:
"To me, whether they are primordial beings or chaotic gods and demons, as long as they contribute to the development of the primordial world, they are all good."

"I know your identity. Just tell me your purpose. If it is beneficial to the Primordial World, I don't mind cooperating with you."

Yang Xuan raised his eyes to look at the Seven Emotions Demon God. He did not release any pressure, but the Seven Emotions Demon God still felt considerable pressure.

"Something's wrong!"

The Seven Emotions God and Demon once again showed surprise.

"His strength is probably greater than I imagined. Even outside the primordial world, without the blessing of a saint's authority, his strength is likely no less than that of an ordinary Primordial Chaos cultivator."

If we were to fight, I probably wouldn't be a match for him. What kind of growth rate is this? It's just too outrageous..."

The Seven Emotions God and Demon were somewhat dumbfounded. She now wondered if she had remembered the time wrong. In fact, Yang Xuan had not been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, but for several eons, or even dozens of eons.

"Luckily I acted quickly, otherwise I really wouldn't have had a chance to surrender..."

I've lost count of how many emotions, gods, and demons I've felt today.

She composed herself and said in a deep voice:

"The three thousand gods and demons are not a monolithic entity; they also have different stances. My name is Seven Emotions, and I cultivate the Great Dao of Seven Emotions. The prosperity and flourishing of the primordial world also benefits me."

I prefer cultivating in the primordial world to destroying it, but the primordial saints don't treat gods and demons like me very well.
"If you can protect my interests, I am willing to contribute to the evolution of the primordial world and help you resist the chaotic gods and demons."

The Seven Emotions Demon paused, then a smile appeared on his face:
"Of course, I understand your rules, fellow Daoist. In return, I can provide you with some information you need."

"Oh? Tell me."

Yang Xuan smiled; he couldn't possibly believe the one-sided story of the Seven Emotions Demon.

However, if what the Seven Emotions Demon God said piqued his interest, he could try to verify it to see if it was true.

The Seven Emotions Demon didn't intend to keep them in suspense and said softly:

"Have you ever heard of the God of Destiny and the Fate Wheel?" (End of Chapter)
