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

Chapter 120: The emperor changes and temples are everywhere!
Kyushu.

In order to avoid causing another sensation, Yang Xuan concealed his true appearance this time and came to Yangcheng as a follower of Jiu Tian Xuan Nu and Bi Xiao.

Nowadays, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu and Bi Xiao are also well-known in Jiuzhou. Bi Xiao often goes down to the human world to kill monsters, and his fame has long spread inside and outside Jiuzhou.

Xuannv descended to the mortal world twice to assist Xuanyuan and Dayu, and was also a celebrity in Jiuzhou.

After stating their purpose, the general defending the city personally led them to the Human Emperor's Palace.

After some briefing, Yang Xuan and others met the contemporary Human Emperor.

Now, more than 40,000 years have passed since Dayu’s ten thousand year agreement. Dayu has already abdicated, and the current Emperor of Man is Dayu’s son - Qi!

"what?"

After seeing Yang Xuan and the other two, Qi was slightly stunned, stood up from his seat, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

“Is this the Great Celestial Venerable of Nine Heavens Immortal Scrolls, the Great Sage of the Human Race, the Immortal Yang Xuan?”

Although Qi has just ascended to the throne for tens of thousands of years, he has not made any achievements, has not gained any merit from humanity, and is only a Golden Immortal.

However, with the status of the Human Emperor and the blessing of humanity, in Yangcheng, even the Golden Immortal cannot hide his true appearance in front of him.

The first time Qi saw Yang Xuan, he saw through his disguise and saw his true appearance.

"Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor, it's me, the poor Taoist!"

The reason why Yang Xuan hid his true appearance was just to avoid being blocked at the gate of Yangcheng again, not to conceal his true identity.

Since Qi had seen through his disguise, he simply revealed his true appearance.

After receiving Yang Xuan's affirmative answer, Qi suddenly showed a look of joy, and immediately bowed with both hands and saluted him.

It is true that Qi is the Human Emperor, but Yang Xuan was also personally appointed by Dayu and is a great sage of the human race recognized by successive Human Emperors, with the same status as the contemporary Human Emperor.

If he was performing this salute to the Great Lord of Heaven, it would indeed be inappropriate, but if it was to a great sage of the human race, then there would be no problem at all.

"I have seen the Immortal. When my father was in power, he often mentioned the Immortal. Unfortunately, my father waited until he abdicated and went to Huoyun Cave, but he was unable to see the Immortal again."

"Before going to the Fire Cloud Cave, my father specifically told me that after meeting the Immortal, I must not lose my manners and must do my best to satisfy the Immortal's requests!"

"Today the Immortal has arrived, but I did not leave the palace to greet him. I hope you will not blame me!"

"Your Majesty is serious."

Although Yang Xuan was indeed qualified to accept Qi's gift, Qi was, after all, the contemporary emperor and the ruler of the human race in Jiuzhou.

Out of respect for the Human Emperor, Yang Xuan stepped aside, accepted the half-salute, and then returned the salute.

"I came here this time to discuss the cooperation between the Heavenly Court and the human race. I wonder if Emperor Yu has told Your Majesty about this?"

Yang Xuan stated his purpose directly without any nonsense.

The last time he came to Jiuzhou, Yang Xuan explained the pros and cons of this matter to Dayu.

If the Heavenly Court can cooperate with the human race, it will only benefit both parties and not harm them.

The human race only needs to build temples in Jiuzhou and provide incense to the gods in heaven, and they will be able to invite the gods in heaven to exercise their authority to help humans move mountains, open roads, manage the land veins, build cities, and speed up the construction of Jiuzhou.

The human race can also apply to join the Heavenly Court, participate in responding to the human race’s prayers, exercise the authority of the gods in Jiuzhou, and build Jiuzhou.

In addition, after humans go to heaven, they can also exercise divine power, complete heavenly affairs, obtain heavenly merits, and exchange them for corresponding skills to give back to the human race.

Although the price of the skills is not cheap, and there will be restrictions on secondary teaching after exchange, it is still a superior channel for the human race to obtain skills.

Neither Dayu nor the sages of the human race in the Fire Cloud Cave had any reason to refuse something that would benefit both parties.

This is indeed the case. After hearing Yang Xuan mention this, Qi's expression became serious and he nodded heavily.

"After the Immortal left Jiuzhou more than 50,000 years ago, my father went to Huoyun Cave and informed the ancestors of the human race of this matter. After hundreds of years of discussion, this matter has been finalized."

"Unfortunately, the Immortal has not arrived yet, so he handed this matter over to me and asked me to take charge of the matter after I meet the Immortal."

"The sages of the human race have no objection to the human race helping the Heavenly Court build temples in Jiuzhou and using incense to pray to the immortals and gods in the Heavenly Court."

"And when the gods of heaven exercise their divine authority, we can temporarily release the suppression of the Nine Cauldrons Formation for them, allowing them to exert their full strength, but we have two conditions..."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Yang Xuan looked indifferent and nodded slightly, without any surprise.

This matter concerns the great cause of the human race and covers all parts of Kyushu. Not to mention the people in Huoyun Cave, even Dayu, who is most familiar with Yang Xuan, would not have no conditions at all.

The human race only proposed two conditions, which can be said to be quite few.

"First, since the gods in heaven have been enjoying the incense and offerings from the human race, they must not do anything that harms the human race. After receiving the human race's prayers, they should respond as soon as possible!"

"Secondly, whether the gods of heaven are responding to human prayers or descending to the Nine Provinces, they must not interfere in human affairs!"

"As it should be."

Yang Xuan smiled slightly and agreed immediately.

These two conditions of the human race are extremely reasonable and there is no need to consult Haotian at all.

If the gods in heaven only enjoy the incense of human beings and do not respond, or even harm human beings and interfere in their internal affairs.

So what is the significance of cooperation between humans and heaven?
From the beginning to the end, Yang Xuan never thought of interfering in the affairs of the human race. The Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court, and the human race is the human race. The two sides will only cooperate, but there will not be any deeper connection.

Human nature is changeable. This is the general trend of heaven and earth. Human beings are destined to experience countless changes of dynasties.

If the Heavenly Court interferes in the internal affairs of the human race, then the rise and fall of the human dynasty will more or less have a certain impact on the Heavenly Court.

More importantly, if the relationship between Heaven and the human race is too close, how can Heaven stay out of it when the catastrophe of the Conferred God comes in the future?

The worse scenario is that if some gods in heaven are unable to accept the situation and side with the Shang Dynasty, wouldn't that drag the entire heaven into the water?

These two conditions of the human race completely coincide with Yang Xuan's. Even if the human race had not proposed them, he would have constrained the immortals and gods in heaven after establishing the Heavenly Rules.

Qi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Xuan nod in agreement. After a moment of silence, he continued:

"We still have two questions about the human race's ascension to heaven. I hope the Immortal can help me solve them."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"The Immortal once said that after the human race ascends to heaven, as long as they exercise the authority of the true gods and complete the tasks of heaven, they can obtain heavenly merits."

Qi paused, his expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"May I ask, Immortal, is there any specific rules for obtaining Heavenly Merits? What spiritual objects can be exchanged for Heavenly Merits? Can they be used to exchange for cultivation techniques? Does Heavenly Merits have enough techniques for our human race to exchange for use?"

Yang Xuan's expression remained calm after hearing this. Qi's question was also within his expectations. After all, aren't the two most important purposes of the human race going to heaven to live longer and to obtain cultivation techniques?

"I just announced the various rules of the Heavenly Court Merit System a few days ago. All immortals and gods in Heaven will obtain Heavenly Court Merit according to these rules."

"It will be the same for humans after they ascend to heaven. They will not favor anyone. Heaven will not favor any immortal or god. Even I need to follow this rule."

"There are many things that can be exchanged for Heavenly Court Merits, whether it is spiritual medicine, elixir, spiritual materials, or spiritual treasures, as long as there are enough merits, they can be exchanged. The same goes for cultivation techniques."

"As for the types of skills in the Heavenly Court..."

Having said that, Yang Xuan glanced at Qi above him and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Regarding the Heavenly Court Merit System, I would like to add one more thing. In addition to performing divine duties, you can also obtain Heavenly Court Merit by completing Heavenly Court missions."

"The immortals in the Heavenly Court can also use their own spiritual objects to exchange for a corresponding number of Heavenly Court merits, which include skills and magical powers."

"Now, tens of millions of creatures from all races have joined the Heavenly Court. Since the Heavenly Court Merit System was promulgated, many immortals and gods have used their own spiritual objects to exchange for Heavenly Court Merits."

Having said this, Yang Xuan said no more. His meaning was already very clear, and he believed that Qi would be able to hear it.

"Tens of millions of lives of various races..."

After Qi said this, his breathing became a little heavy. He naturally understood the meaning of Yang Xuan's words.

If we only consider the number of techniques in the Heavenly Palace's treasury, it would be difficult to meet the cultivation needs of the human race in Jiuzhou, let alone the needs of Yangcheng alone.

There are simply too many humans. Each person's status is different, they excel in different ways, their living environments are different, and their personalities vary greatly.

The same kind of practice method is absolutely impossible to be applicable to the entire human race. It may take hundreds or thousands of practice methods to meet the needs of a large human city.

It is precisely because of this characteristic of the human race that various schools of thought emerged in later generations.

Even if the human race does not need very advanced skills at this stage, as long as they can practice normally to the level of True Immortal or Mysterious Immortal, it is enough to meet the basic needs of the human race. The treasury of Heaven cannot provide so many skills.

But just because the Heavenly Treasury is not okay doesn’t mean Heaven itself is not okay!

At this stage, there are tens of millions of immortals and gods in heaven. These immortals and gods come from different races. Some are water creatures, and some are fire creatures. How could their cultivation methods be the same?
If these creatures use the basic skills they have practiced or are currently practicing to exchange for merits in heaven and fill the treasure house of heaven.

If this continues, the number of basic skills in the Heavenly Palace’s treasury will definitely be beyond imagination.

Even if these skills are not too compatible with the human race, it is not impossible to meet the basic needs of the human race in Jiuzhou and cultivate to the level of earthly immortals, celestial immortals, or even true immortals and mysterious immortals.

Some more advanced techniques that are more suitable for one's own use may allow one to cultivate to the level of Golden Immortal, thereby achieving eternal life and no longer having to worry about lifespan, thus becoming the foundation of the human race.

Qi could imagine that as long as everything was as Yang Xuan said, the human race could not only speed up the construction of Jiuzhou by cooperating with the Heavenly Court, but also obtain a large number of cultivation techniques.

Perhaps within ten kalpas, there will be a scene in Jiuzhou where earthly immortals can be seen everywhere and celestial immortals can be seen everywhere.

"No wonder my father said that this would be the greatest opportunity during my reign. No wonder my father and mother respect and admire the Great Celestial Lord so much!"

Qi remained silent, with many emotions in his heart. After a long silence, he finally calmed down his excitement.

He is the contemporary Human Emperor. If he can make this happen and speed up the development of the human race, he will surely receive some merit from humanity.

Daluo didn't dare to think about it, but it should be no problem for him to achieve Taiyi Jinxian before abdicating.

Even though there are many Taiyi Realm ghosts in Yang Xuan’s Human Emperor Banner, it seems that Taiyi Golden Immortal is a worthless thing.

In fact, it is just the opposite. No matter where it is placed, Taiyi Jinxian can be described as rare.

Take the Heavenly Palace for example. There are millions of immortals and gods today, but the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals does not exceed three hundred.

The human race is an acquired race that has been around for too short a time. There are not even many Golden Immortals, let alone Taiyi Golden Immortals.

Only a few of the human race’s brilliant predecessors have made a profound mark on the development of the human race and gained merits in humanity, thus breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Now that the human race has become the protagonist of heaven and earth, it is not so easy to gain merits in humanity.

Even if it is the Human Emperor, when he abdicates after completing his merits, he can obtain some humanitarian merits, but it does not necessarily mean that he can break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

But if he could complete the cooperation between the human race and the Heavenly Court and gain a considerable amount of additional humanitarian merit, Qi would be confident of breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

And it won’t just be the early stage, the middle stage may not be the limit either, maybe it can break through to the late stage of Taiyi!

"With these words from the Immortal, I feel relieved."

Qi smiled, and immediately started a detailed discussion with Yang Xuan on the construction of the temple and the human race's ascension to heaven.

As this matter involved a wide range of issues, Qi later summoned many ministers from Daxia to discuss the matter together for decades before finalizing the details.

Most of the time, Yang Xuan just listened and had no intention of arguing with the human race. From beginning to end, he only made a few requests.

For example, as to which gods and immortals were enshrined in the temple, Yang Xuan requested that many of them be left empty first.

For example, temples should be built in rivers, lakes, and seas, and they also need to be set up on the tops of famous mountains and rivers.

On the contrary, regarding the establishment of temples in the human cities, Yang Xuan did not have too many requirements. He only mentioned one thing, that is, a temple needs to be built on the north side outside the city of every town and village.

Qi and Daxia's ministers had no objection to this, as they thought it was just the construction of some temples.

Building temples in rivers and lakes, mountains and rivers is the most reasonable thing to do.

These are the areas they need to focus on developing and governing next. Building more temples will make it easier to invite the gods from heaven to help. They would do so even if Yang Xuan didn't mention it.

The only thing that puzzled them was why Yang Xuan insisted on building the temple on the north side outside the city. Couldn't he build it inside the city?
As for the matter of human beings going to heaven, there is even less to say. At this stage, the human race basically has no karma to worry about, and they all meet the recruitment requirements of heaven.

Things became even simpler after going to heaven. Yang Xuan just said, "Just follow the rules of heaven."

Upon hearing Yang Xuan's request, Qi and Daxia's ministers all looked strange.

What kind of rules are there in heaven? Rather than following the rules, it is better to follow the rules of the heavenly merit system.

But they didn't say much, they just wrote the matter down and told the people in heaven the truth.

After this matter was finalized, Daxia's ministers took their leave one after another, some arranging for the people to go to heaven, and some starting to build the temple.

There are no requirements for the construction materials or specifications of the temple. Any practitioner can complete it independently, so it is not a difficult task.

After all the ministers have left, the official business of this trip to Kyushu will be completed, and the next thing to do is to talk about personal matters.

Now that the situation in Jiuzhou is stable and Yang Xuan's status is high enough, it is time to push forward the things that he wanted to do but couldn't do and could only do as a second choice.

This matter concerns his own path. Yang Xuan has been preparing for it for many years and can be said to be determined to succeed!
