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

Chaos, within the Purple Cloud Palace.

After the primordial world successfully evolved into the myriad realms and took another step closer to the Eternal True Realm, Hongjun once again summoned all the saints to the Zixiao Palace.

Although the primordial world has evolved further and the strength of the saints in the primordial world has been significantly improved, they still exist against the chaotic gods and demons, and further planning is needed.

On the cloud platform, Hongjun, seeing that all the sages had arrived, first said some polite words, then turned to Yang Xuan and asked:
"I wonder if you have found any trace of the Chaos Gods and Demons?"

"There have indeed been some discoveries." Yang Xuan nodded. "Years ago, I discovered a place called the Realm of Gods and Demons from Luo Hou's body."
This is the gathering place of chaotic gods and demons, but the location of this world is not fixed and is changing every moment. I have not told you all this.

"Oh? So, fellow Daoist, you have now determined the location of this world?"

Hongjun Daozu raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of joy.

If we can pinpoint the gathering place of the Chaos Gods and Demons, even if we are no match for them, we can regain some initiative and avoid being as passive as we are now.

In recent years, besides deducing the evolution of the primordial world into countless realms, Hongjun has also been trying to find the hiding place of the chaotic gods and demons.

But after several cycles, he still hadn't gained anything.

There was no way around it. In the chaos, without order and without the Great Dao, no matter how profound Hongjun's cultivation was, he could only cover a small area with his own Great Dao within the chaos.

Under such circumstances, the difficulty of finding traces of chaotic gods and demons is unimaginable.

He was almost ready to give up, it was just a casual question, but he didn't expect Yang Xuan to actually make a discovery, and it was even a gathering place for chaotic gods and demons!

"How did he do that?"

Hongjun was puzzled. He had dealt with Luo Hou for so many years, how could he not know the other's character?
He was certain that unless there was a sufficiently large benefit, Luo Hou would not do anything, let alone mention the realm of gods and demons.

"Is there some secret we don't know about in this?"

Rahu thought this way, and so did the other sages.

Even without having dealt with Rahu, one could guess that Rahu would not easily mention the God-Demon Realm, and as for the method of locating the God-Demon Realm, he would never reveal it.

Yang Xuan knew the suspicions in these people's hearts, but he had no intention of explaining. He nodded and continued:
"Indeed, in recent years, I have made some discoveries about Rahu and deduced a method for locating the realm of gods and demons, which can be used to find the realm of gods and demons."

As for how he deduced it and what methods he used, Yang Xuan did not say.

For Hongjun, finding a lone chaotic god or demon in the chaos was an almost impossible task.

But for Yang Xuan, who controls the river of destiny, the biggest problem of how to spread the Great Dao throughout the primordial world no longer exists.

After solving this problem, it's not difficult to deduce the location of the God and Demon Realm by using the Fate Chart and the Fate Line between Rahu and the God and Demon Realm, thus arriving at a method of location.

However, this method involves the river of destiny, which may be a contingency plan left by Pangu, concerning Pangu's return.

If it is really as Yang Xuan thinks, this will be the last trump card of the Primordial World, and he does not intend to let a second person know about it unless absolutely necessary.

Moreover, there's no need to say more about this matter; simply providing the method for defining the realm of gods and demons is sufficient.

As for other matters, once the location of the God and Demon Realm is determined, the primordial saints can ascertain it themselves.

Indeed, this was the case. Although the sages were puzzled and even doubtful, they still showed joy after seeing the positioning given by Yang Xuan.

Especially the Tongtian Sect Leader, who trusted Yang Xuan quite a bit. After using Yang Xuan's positioning method to deduce a Dao beacon, he gently stroked the Qingping Sword, eager to try it out:
"Now that we have identified the beacon of the God-Demon Realm, what are we waiting for? Let's set off now and take a look!"

"No."

Yang Xuan shook his head and immediately rejected Tongtian's proposal.

"Why not?"

Tongtian frowned in confusion and looked at Yang Xuan with puzzlement.

It was Yang Xuan who suggested that they take advantage of the fact that the Chaos Gods and Demons had not yet fully recovered and attack any of the isolated Chaos Gods and Demons.

Now that the location of the realm of gods and demons has been determined, how could we not find any lone chaotic gods and demons?

Now they're saying no? What does that mean?
Before Tongtian could think further, Yang Xuan began to explain:

"The realm of gods and demons is, after all, the lair of three thousand gods and demons. Based on my deductions over the years, apart from Rahu, the Soul, and other chaotic gods and demons, who are suppressed by us in the primordial world..."
The remaining chaotic gods and demons should all be in the realm of gods and demons. If we rashly go there, we may be in danger, and might even be ambushed.

Yang Xuan paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the assembled sages:
"I know that you all have some doubts about how I deduced this method of positioning."
To dispel your doubts, and for our own safety, I believe we should first investigate the realm of gods and demons to ascertain their situation before determining our next plan.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded secretly.

A moment later, the Master of Tongtian tapped the hilt of his sword with his finger, a glint of sword light flashing in his eyes, and said with a smile:

"I trust your words, fellow Daoist. Then let me go ahead and investigate the true nature of the God and Demon Realm!"

"What a joke! Such a momentous matter is not for you to handle!" Yuanshi Tianzun sneered.
“This matter concerns the survival of the ancient world. Your impulsive and reckless nature, coupled with your belligerent disposition, makes you ill-suited for such delicate work. It would be more appropriate to entrust this matter to me.”

"How could I have been so impulsive and reckless!"

The Master of Heaven glared angrily at the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Before the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun had interfered a lot in the matter of taking on disciples. Now, Yuanshi Tianzun was trying to take over the matter of exploring the realm of gods and demons, which greatly displeased him.

He knew that this matter was extremely dangerous, but precisely because of this, he was even less likely to hand it over to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Just then, the Taiqing Daoist, who had been sitting still, suddenly had a surge of pure energy above his head, which transformed into three figures.

As soon as these three figures appeared, they transformed into three streams of light, broke through the barrier of the Purple Cloud Palace, and flew towards the depths of chaos.

The Sage of Taiqing glanced at the Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu, who were standing there dumbfounded, and said calmly.

"Leave the matter of exploring the realm of gods and demons to this old Taoist."

"Senior brother..."

The Tongtian Sect Leader knew the dangers of this trip and originally wanted to compete for it.

But seeing the calm expression on the face of the Supreme Saint, whose lips moved slightly, he swallowed back what he was about to say and could only sit on the futon with dissatisfaction, no longer mentioning the matter of going to investigate the Demon God Realm.

The situation of Yuanshi Tianzun was similar, so he sighed and said no more.

Seeing this, the others nodded secretly and did not raise any objections.

Taiqing is calm and composed, experienced and skilled in the art of incarnation. He is now going in the form of one of the Three Pure Ones, so there is no need to worry about his demise.

He is the most suitable candidate among all the saints.

Yang Xuan originally hoped that the Supreme Saint would take charge of this matter.

Firstly, just as the other sages thought, the Taiqing Sage has a calm and steady personality, so sending him to the realm of gods and demons would minimize the risk of exposure.

Secondly, the Sage Taiqing cultivates the Way of Non-Action, and his path is closely connected with the Primordial World. Even if he learns about transcending the origin, he is the least likely to betray the Primordial World.

The Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning and the Master of the Heavenly Gate were not so safe, and the two Western Saints were even less so, as their views on the Heavenly Dao were not very positive due to the grand vows they had made in the past.

Nuwa and Houtu, these two goddesses, seem kind, but in reality, they are quite murderous. Sending them as undercover agents would probably mean they would fight their way out of the God and Demon Realm... Hongjun needs to stay in the prehistoric world, so he is not a suitable candidate either. As for Yang Xuan himself, he still needs to continue searching for the contingency plans left by Pangu, so he is not very suitable to go to the God and Demon Realm either.

Therefore, the Sage of Taiqing is the most suitable candidate.

However, simply sending people to investigate the realm of gods and demons is not enough.

Although the exact situation in the realm of gods and demons is still uncertain, it is conceivable that the number of chaotic gods and demons is definitely greater than that of the primordial saints.

Even though these chaotic things have not yet recovered to their peak, their overall strength is still greater than that of the Primordial World.

"Everyone," Yang Xuan began, drawing everyone's attention, "besides investigating the true nature of the God and Demon Realm, we should also enhance the combat power of the high-level forces in the Primordial World."
Otherwise, it would only hinder the recovery of the chaotic gods and demons, making it difficult to fundamentally solve the problem.

"Judging from your expression, fellow Daoist, you must have some ideas. Don't keep me in suspense any longer."

Hongjun's face lit up with joy again. Yang Xuan's ability to deduce the method for locating the realm of gods and demons had already given him a considerable surprise.

The fact that this topic has been brought up again clearly indicates that he had this idea in mind for a while, which fills him with anticipation.

"Dao Ancestor, please don't be impatient. Let me explain in detail." Yang Xuan smiled slightly and didn't keep anyone in suspense.

"In my opinion, we can improve the power of the high-level beings in the Primordial World from these two aspects."

"Firstly, we, being of the Primordial Chaos Realm, can temporarily set aside sectarian differences and spread our teachings to many Quasi-Saints, Realm-1 cultivators, and even Great Luo Realm cultivators in the Primordial World, guiding them through their confusion."

When the chaotic gods and demons attack, and the cataclysmic calamity descends, these cultivators, if they can break through their original cultivation levels, can play a greater role and will not have to await their fate.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi frowned slightly, his expression hesitant.

He has always placed great importance on the orthodox tradition.

The disciple's foundation is not good, don't...

If you have bad character, don't hire me either.

Now he is being asked to pass on the Jade Purity Dao to those powerful beings in the prehistoric world whom he looks down upon, so he naturally has some resistance to it.

As for the other sages, they did not react much.

Hongjun preached the Dao in Zixiao Palace in the past. He has already passed on everything he could. If he wants to preach the Dao again, it is just a matter of opening Zixiao Palace again.

Houtu, Nuwa, and Taiqing also held an indifferent attitude towards this matter.

As for Zhunti and Jieyin, they were even more in favor of them.

Buddhism has not yet flourished, so if we could use this opportunity to spread its teachings throughout the world, that would be the best thing ever.

"Fellow Daoist, this matter concerns the survival of the primordial world. We are saints, and we are at a critical juncture. How can we possibly worry about such things?"

Zhunti looked at Yuanshi and began to offer advice.

Yuanshi Tianzun thought about his disciples in the primordial world, his expression shifting between light and dark.

If the primordial world were to perish, not only his lineage, but even these disciples would likely perish.

Even sages are not heartless. After a moment of silence, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and nodded, saying:
"Can!"

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun had no objections, Yang Xuan continued:
"Secondly, it concerns the three principles of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

At this point, Yang Xuan looked at Hongjun and Houtu on the cloud platform.

"Tell me your story. If it is reasonable and beneficial to the Primordial World, I can exercise my authority over the Underground Passage and agree to this matter."

Among all the sages, Houtu was undoubtedly the one who trusted Yang Xuan the most. She had watched Yang Xuan grow up and could be considered his mother.

Upon seeing Yang Xuan looking at her, Houtu immediately responded.

"The old Taoist priest is the same."

Since Houtu had said so, Hongjun naturally had to express his support as well. Moreover, he was also very curious about Yang Xuan's thoughts.

"My idea is actually very simple: as long as Heaven, Earth, and Man agree, this matter can be accomplished."

Yang Xuan paused slightly, then turned to look at the two Western Saints.

"If I remember correctly, you two were just one step away from becoming saints. You made a great vow and borrowed the merits of the Heavenly Dao, which is how you were able to become saints."

The two Western Saints looked somewhat uneasy. For all living beings in the primordial world, being able to attain sainthood and achieve enlightenment was the greatest victory.

But within the Hunyuan circle, this is a major stain on their reputation, something they don't want people to mention.

Even though they knew Yang Xuan wouldn't tease them at a time like this, they were still a little annoyed.

After a moment of silence, Jieyin nodded in response.

"That is indeed true. Is what you, fellow Daoist, have to do with it?"

"nature!"

Yang Xuan's lips curled slightly into a smile. His gaze swept over the assembled sages as he said with a smile:

"Since the two Western Saints can obtain a considerable amount of merit by making a grand vow, why can't all living beings in the primordial world borrow merit from the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man?"

"loan?"

All the sages were slightly taken aback. After Yang Xuan established the business way, they had all heard of the term "loan".

A loan refers to the act of a prehistoric being borrowing a spiritual item from a money lending institution based on its own credit and fixed assets.

In today's world, loans are common; out of ten people, roughly three to five have loans in their pockets.

They were only borrowing money from the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and the money they were borrowing was in the form of merit. This had never happened before, and they had never even thought about it.

But upon careful consideration, if this matter could be accomplished, it would indeed seem like a good thing.

If one has enough merit, like the great beings Zhen Yuanzi, Styx, Haotian, Jinmu, Kunpeng, etc., one will surely have the opportunity to attain the level of a sub-sage, or even the level of Hunyuan!
Moreover, all loans have interest, including those related to the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Regarding loans from money shops, perhaps some people dare to default on their loans, owing debts to heaven, earth, and man, but who would dare to do that?
Even if the two Western saints become saints, they still have to work to repay the loan they took out back then!
Otherwise, why would they be so concerned about the rise of the West? It's all to repay their debt of gratitude and regain their freedom as soon as possible.

Hongjun and the others glanced at the two Western Saints and nodded secretly, agreeing that the matter was indeed feasible.

However, simply knowing this idea is clearly not enough. Even with the approval of Hongjun and Houtu, the two representatives, it is impossible to simply let the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao bestow merit loans. Specific rules are still needed.

Thinking of this, everyone turned their gaze to Yang Xuan. They knew that, given Yang Xuan's personality, since he had brought this up himself, he must have a specific plan.

P.S.: It's definitely better to get your wisdom teeth removed as early as possible. Last time, I bit the top of one and broke it, so I had to have surgery, and it hurt terribly.

I had the other two teeth removed yesterday, and the pain was much less, so I didn't even need to take a day off today~ (End of Chapter)
