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

Chapter 105: Return to Yunmeng Lake and Invite the Dragon Clan to Heaven

"Very good, everyone has made a wise choice. I believe you all did this voluntarily."

"As long as you behave well, His Majesty Haotian will definitely not blame the younger generations of your clan and your disciples."

"If they are willing, they may have the opportunity to serve as officials in heaven and share your responsibilities."

Yang Xuan seemed to be hinting at something, but that meaningful smile was still on his face.

Upon hearing this, Shan Jun and the others were all slightly stunned, their eyes flickering, as if they were thinking about something.

The meaning of Yang Xuan's words was very clear. He was telling them that no matter what Haotian wanted them to do after they went to heaven, as long as they performed well, their younger generations and disciples would go to heaven to help them.

Most of the clergy duties in heaven are composed of many parts, and not everything must be done personally.

The most arduous tasks are probably responding to believers' prayers, maintaining the operation of theocracy and other basic matters.

If they could get help from younger generations in the clan and disciples under their tutelage, their pressure would be greatly reduced and they could spend more time on recovering from their injuries and practicing cultivation.

But once he did that, it would be equivalent to tying all his clansmen and disciples to the Heavenly Court.

If the treatment in heaven is good enough, working for them would not be a bad thing.

But the question is, how is the treatment in heaven any better?

To use the words of later generations, they couldn't even afford to pay salaries. If there was no choice, who would be willing to join the Heavenly Palace?
Now, it is only tens of thousands of years away from Yang Xuan’s release of the new heavenly rules. For Honghuang, this amount of time is really nothing.

Because of this, Shan Jun and others did not know about the reforms in Heaven, and their impression of Heaven still remained from countless eras ago.

Even though the Heavenly Court showed an unknown side in the matter of human calamity, this still could not change their impression of the Heavenly Court. They still felt that the Heavenly Court was just an empty shell with no resources to offer.

But when they thought that their clansmen and disciples would have an easier time following heaven, they became tempted and hesitant.

Yang Xuan ignored Shan Jun and the others. Now that the seeds had been planted, he just had to wait for them to sprout.

Perhaps when they come to Heaven and understand the Heavenly Merit System, they will change their minds and say "that's great".

"Third sister, do you have a way to seal their magic power and bind them?"

Yang Xuan looked at Bixiao and asked.

As for Lady of the West, he directly ruled her out.

During this trip to the lower world, he gained a certain understanding of the Queen Mother of the West.

After the battle just now, Yang Xuan was basically certain that if the Queen Mother of the West was allowed to seal the magic power of Shan Jun and others, she would most likely slash them with a single sword, leaving Shan Jun and others with only one breath left.

As long as the injury is serious enough, there is no way to use magic power. If you can still move, it means the injury is not serious enough, so keep on beating me to death!
These four people are the laborers that Yang Xuan has newly recruited. Naturally, he cannot let their injuries get worse, otherwise how can they work?

"Yes, yes. This is my second sister's dragon-binding rope. I usually use it to catch dragons. As long as they are tied up with the dragon-binding rope, I guarantee that they will not be able to use any magic power at all."

Bixiao chuckled and untied the golden rope around his wrist.

Bixiao used his magic power to throw it upwards, and it turned into a long golden dragon, tying up the seriously injured bodies of Shanjun and others, standing on the ground like a huge rice dumpling.

Not even a single body part was left behind, and her technique was quite skillful, which showed that this was not the first time she had done such a thing. The Witch of Chaos in the East China Sea was no mere talker.

"I beg you to bear with me for a while. I will release you after I ascend to heaven and meet His Majesty."

After saying that, Yang Xuan didn't care whether Shan Jun and others agreed or not, and he used his magical power of the universe in his sleeve to take it into the deepest part of the world and suppress it there.

Although the main credit goes to Bixiao and Jiutian Xuannu, Yang Xuan can be said to be the number one person in the prehistoric world because he was able to suppress the four Golden Immortals when he was a Golden Immortal and made them dare not resist at all!
Afterwards, Yang Xuan waved his sleeves again and released the little white tiger and Hu Xianer from the world in his sleeves.

Now that the matter here is over, it is time to leave. He is seriously injured and is accompanied by four Daluo coolies. If there is nothing worth paying attention to around, he plans to go back to heaven first.

As for Wuyi Mountain, I can only wait until next time to go there. Anyway, Youying’s cave had been emptied by Black Lotus long ago.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree is only available to those who are destined to get it. Even if Yang Xuan went there himself, he might not be able to get it. But he is not afraid of it being snatched away by others.

"Third sister, Lady Xuannv, do you know where this place is?"

"Hmm... This place is right on the edge of Jiuzhou. I guess the maximum distance of the Black Lotus teleportation array is about this far."

Bi Xiao imitated Yang Xuan's habit when thinking, rubbed his fair chin, thought seriously for a moment, pointed to the southeast and said:

"I remember that in that direction, not too far from here, there is a branch of the dragon clan. It seems to be called Yunmengze. The dragons there are pretty good, not as annoying as those in the East China Sea."

"Yunmengze... since it's not far away, let's go there."

Yang Xuan nodded secretly, then asked Bixiao and Jiu Tian Xuan Nu to control the escape light and take him to Yunmengze.

Given his current injuries, it would be better for him to try not to move.

"Maybe... I can consider finding a mount. The exclusive mount of the God of Wealth should be that one..."

Yang Xuan rubbed his chin, thinking.

The Lady of the West watching this scene, nodded secretly, and could only say that Bixiao had a talent for imitation.

……

With two Daluo Jinxians on the road, their speed is much faster than Yang Xuan's golden light.

Within a few years, Yang Xuan and his party had already arrived above Yunmengze.

Inside the Yunmeng Dragon Palace.

Lord Long looked at the two beams of light rushing towards him from the sky, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

In the Daluo battle, there are many strange phenomena, which have a wide impact.

Yunmengze is not far from that valley, although no one knows who is fighting.

But he was sure that a scene of that magnitude could only be triggered by a Daluo Jinxian, who was not an existence he could afford to offend.

Especially those three moon-white sword lights that penetrated the sky. Whenever he thought of them, Long Jun would feel a chill on his neck, as if a sword light would behead him at any time.

Now, two beams of light with restrained aura but astonishing speed were seen rushing towards Yunmengze from the direction of the battlefield.

This made him wonder if the two might be related.

If the battle had not ended yet, these two beams of light were escaping. If a war broke out again nearby, countless creatures in Yunmengze would be killed or injured, and it would be hard to say whether his Yunmeng Dragon Palace could survive.

Not to mention anything else, just the moon-white sword light, only one sword is enough to destroy the entire Yunmeng Dragon Palace.

The next scene made Yunmeng Dragon King's face change drastically.

After the two beams of light flew into Yunmeng Lake, they paused slightly in the air and then fell towards the Yunmeng Dragon Palace.

"Is it heading towards my Yunmeng Dragon Palace? What should I do? What should I do..."

The Dragon King sighed helplessly. Although he was extremely unwilling, there was no way he could avoid seeing Daluo in person.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Palace, he looked at the figure standing in front, wearing a bright red Taoist robe, with cracked skin all over his body, and looking a little weird. He was slightly stunned and asked tentatively: "Shangxian... No, no, Great Celestial Venerable?"

"it's me."

After getting Yang Xuan's affirmative answer, Long Jun subconsciously looked at Jiu Tian Xuan Nu and Bi Xiao, who were standing behind Yang Xuan like bodyguards. He paused for a moment in particular at Bi Xiao, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

Isn't the Great Celestial Venerable only a Golden Immortal? Why is there two Golden Immortals protecting him, one of whom is even a devil like Bi Xiao.

Also, why does Bixiao look so well-behaved?

According to the Dragon King of the East China Sea and others, doesn't Bixiao often use the Dragon Binding Rope to fish for dragons in the East China Sea? And every time she leaves Sanxiao Island, doesn't she turn the East China Sea upside down?

Why is it that now, apart from being a little bit eccentric, she doesn't look like a wild, willful, or devilish woman at all?

Could it be that... this devil of mischief has been tamed by the Great Celestial Lord?

No, no!

The Great Celestial Venerable was only a Golden Immortal, how could he tame Bixiao, a Golden Immortal? Was it the female immortal next to him who tamed him? Was the war a few years ago caused by the two of them?
This doesn't make sense. If it was because of that female fairy, why was there such obvious respect in Bixiao's eyes when he looked at the Great Heavenly Venerable?
"My neck is itchy, I feel like it's going to grow a head, I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out!"

The more the Dragon King thought about it, the more confused he became, so he simply stopped thinking about it and invited Yang Xuan and others into the Dragon Palace and came to the main hall.

After a few brief greetings, Yang Xuan stated his purpose.

"I wonder if Lord Long has ever thought about being an official in heaven?"

"God?"

Yunmeng Longjun frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and sighed:

"The Great Lord has done me a favor. If the Great Lord needs me, I should fully cooperate."

"However, the elders of the tribe have said that the members of the Dragon Tribe cannot easily join other forces in the prehistoric world..."

In ancient times, the three tribes fought a great war. The dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes destroyed the heaven and earth. In the end, all three tribes were defeated and became stepping stones for the demon ancestor Rāhu.

Nowadays, the dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes are all burdened with enormous karma. Anyone who possesses the bloodline of the three tribes will carry different amounts of karma from the day they are born, and will be hated by the great heaven.

Over the years, they have only found one solution, which is to join other major forces in the prehistoric world and get the blessings of major sects and clans to eliminate some of the karma and make the dragon clan's practice smoother.

It was for this reason that when Dayu came to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and proposed to make the dragon clan the totem of the human race and share part of the human race's fortune, the dragon clan agreed without hesitation.

By the same token, as the nominal orthodoxy of the ancient world, if the dragon clan could join the Heavenly Court and receive the blessing of the Heavenly Court, they could also eliminate some of the karma of the dragon clan.

But the biggest problem now is that among the dragon clan, many elders still have the ideas that are stuck in the time when the dragon clan dominated the ancient times.

Even if they allowed the Dragon Clan members to join a large sect, it would cost them half their reputation, not to mention the Heavenly Court.

One of the forces that these dragon elders look down upon the most is Heaven.

The human race will be the protagonist of the world in the future, and both sides are in a cooperative relationship. It is not too shameful to become the totem of the human race.

But would it be the same if he joined the Heavenly Court? No matter how high a rank of God the Dragon Lord could become after joining the Heavenly Court, wouldn't he still have to obey the orders of Haotian? How could they agree to this?
Yang Xuan had anticipated this result and had also thought of an excuse.

But before he could say anything, Bi Xiao stood up, holding the golden scissors against the Dragon King's neck, and said viciously:

"What do you mean? You dare to refuse my invitation?!"

"I advise you to think it over before you answer. Otherwise, I will tear down your Dragon Palace first, and then go to the East China Sea to talk to those old dragons about reason!"

Bixiao was really angry, without any pretense.

Ever since they met Yang Xuan in Heaven, all the gods, the human race in Jiuzhou, and even Dayu, the Emperor of Man, treated Yang Xuan with great respect and honored him as the Immortal.

Now, Yang Xuan has come all the way to Yunmengze, and you, a mere Yunmeng Dragon King, a worthless Taiyi Golden Immortal, dare to reject Yang Xuan’s invitation. Who gave you the courage?

Even if the Dragon King of the East Sea meets Yang Xuan, he has to be respectful to me!

Bixiao's face was full of murderous intent and there was a cold light flashing in her eyes. If Long Jun didn't give an explanation, she would definitely cut Long Jun's neck with a pair of scissors.

It is said that there are only wrong names but no wrong nicknames. Bixiao can be called the devil of the world, but she has never been a good girl!

The Queen Mother of the West, standing by, glanced at the dragons in the hall and tapped the hilt of the sword lightly with her jade fingers. It was obvious that she was not in a good mood either.

"Ahem, Third Sister, please let Long Jun go first."

Yang Xuan coughed twice. He did not expect Bi Xiao to react so strongly.

This made him feel both touched and helpless.

If Long Jun's tone had been a little worse, Bi Xiao would have probably cut off his head by now.

Although for the dragon clan, even if the head is cut off, they will not die, but if it is cut off by a powerful weapon like the Golden Dragon Shears, even if the Dragon King is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it will take more than 100,000 years to recover.

"I advise you to think carefully before you speak next!"

Bixiao took the big scissors and gestured at Long Jun's neck twice, then stepped aside, picked up a piece of barbecue, and cut it with the golden scissors, looking at Long Jun from time to time.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious. It was telling Long Jun that if he dared to refuse Yang Xuan again, his head would be cut off by me like these barbecued meats.

Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu was also knocking on the hilt of the sword, and the "da da" sound echoed in the hall.

Yang Xuan: ...

You may not believe it, but I really wanted to convince people with reason. I really never thought of suppressing people with force!

I am a reasonable civil servant and I always advocate peaceful resolution of issues.

(Heilian: Ah, yes, yes!)
After Yang Xuan was silent for a moment, he first smiled apologetically at Long Jun, and then said in a deep voice:

"I know something about the situation of the Dragon Clan. Lord Long, why don't you go back and tell the elders of the Dragon Clan that if I can guarantee that the Dragon Clan members who have ascended to heaven can eliminate their karma?"

“Remember, what I am saying is that these members of the Dragon Clan who ascended to heaven can completely eliminate the karma in their bodies, not just a part of it!”

“If the dragon race cooperates, perhaps one day in the future, we can eliminate the karma in our bloodline and regain the favor of the heavens. Newborn dragons will not be burdened with karma either.”

"Tell the elders of the Dragon Clan about this. I believe they will make the right choice."

"Great Lord, are you serious?!"

Long Jun looked excited, his eyes slightly red.

Karma is like a shackle placed on all dragons. Not only does it hinder their cultivation and make it difficult for them to comprehend the great Dao, it also makes them hated by heaven and earth. It can be said that everything goes wrong for them.

If the Dragon Clan had not divided the world into three parts with the Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan in ancient times, and truly ruled the world, their wealth would have been rich enough.

Otherwise, the current situation of the Dragon Clan would be several times worse, and they would not even be able to defend the four surrounding seas.

If joining the Heavenly Court can resolve the karma of the dragon clan, no matter how stubborn the dragon clan elders are, they will not oppose this.

Just... is this possible?
