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

Chapter 131 In Lingxiao Palace, reporting to the Heavenly Law!
Outside the Lingxiao Palace.

The demon ape and his entourage came rushing over using a beam of light and landed outside the palace gate. They put on their court robes and crowns and were about to go in.

But just as they approached, the gatekeeper suddenly unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and his magic power surged, blocking them.

"Sorry, you can't go in yet!"

"I can't go in? Why? I want to see His Majesty, why won't you let me in?"

The demon ape was stunned for a moment, then his face turned gloomy. He didn't expect that he would be stopped outside the Lingxiao Palace.

"Why? Just because the Great Lord is discussing important matters with Your Majesty. Are you satisfied with this reason?"

The gatekeepers of Lingxiao Palace are all Taiyi Golden Immortals, just like they are not as strong as the demon ape and are no match for it in a fight.

But this is heaven, they are not afraid at all.

At the beginning, it was because Yang Xuan did not come back that the senior officials of the Ministry of War and Sima Divine Temple all remained silent, and they did not bother with these traitors.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for these people to enter the Lingxiao Palace so easily the last time they came here.

Now that Yang Xuan had just returned, he came to Lingxiao Palace to meet Haotian, which was enough to show his attitude.

The gatekeeper would naturally not tolerate it any longer. He had a bad attitude and a look of contempt, and did not take these people seriously at all.

Want to enter the Lingxiao Palace? Dream on!
Whether in the ancient times or in later times, the positions of doorman and mount (driver) are not something that anyone can do.

In later times, if you don’t give a few red envelopes to the doorman in some places, you can’t even get in!
Although the gatekeeper general of Lingxiao Palace does not have that much power, it is not a problem for him to stop the demon ape and his group and keep them outside the gate for a few years.

"you!"

The demon ape had an ugly look on his face and felt increasingly uneasy. This heaven was not what he had seen. It was not that these heavenly soldiers and generals did not dare to touch him, but that they did not want to touch him.

He suddenly felt that the heaven was like a huge chessboard. After going to heaven, he became a chess piece, moving along the prescribed route according to the wishes of the chess player.

And this chess player is the Great Lord of Heaven!
"Damn it! Isn't Yang Xuan a Taiyi Golden Immortal? Why does he have this ability? Why can he make all these heavenly soldiers and generals obey his orders?"

"Or... are these all tacitly approved by Haotian?"

"But what is their purpose in doing this? Why do they want us to disrupt the heavens, and what will they do to us?"

The demon ape frowned, he couldn't figure out the key, and his uneasiness became more and more intense.

The other immortals and gods around had even uglier expressions on their faces and paced back and forth anxiously.

They really wanted to force their way in, but they were just two Taiyi Heavenly Generals, so there was still hope for them if they wanted to force their way in.

But they are not fools. How could they dare to do this before confirming Haotian’s attitude?
If Haotian and Yang Xuan were in the same group, and they really tried to break into the Lingxiao Palace, wouldn't that give the other party a reason to take action?
Just when the demon ape and others were extremely anxious, there was peace in the Lingxiao Palace.

After Yang Xuan arrived at Lingxiao Palace and saw Haotian, he said directly:

"Your Majesty, now that the chaos in the imperial court has occurred, we can proceed to the next step!"

Haotian:? ? ?
Queen Mother: ???
Next step? What next step? You also tell me what the next step is...

Haotian and Queen Mother looked at each other, and both saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

As the Heavenly Palace got closer and closer to self-operation, and with Yang Xuan watching over it, they paid less and less attention to it.

Over the years, they have focused all their attention on searching for corpses in the ancient starry sky.

Even when the demon ape came to meet them in Lingxiao Palace, they just said a few words quickly and let it leave.

Isn't it embarrassing to ask them to talk about the next plan at this time?

"Ahem, I think you already know the next plan, so don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly."

Yang Xuan: ...

It's been 40,000 to 50,000 years, and you two are really unprepared...

As expected, I can't count on you two useless people. Fortunately, I was well prepared, otherwise I would have wasted tens of thousands of years.

"Your Majesty, please shield this place from the secrets of heaven and don't let the way of heaven sense it. This matter is not the time to be made public yet!"

"..."

Haotian was slightly stunned when he heard this. He could understand blocking the secrets of heaven, but what did it mean to block the perception of heaven?
Is it a bit too much to block the perception of the Heavenly Dao in Heaven?

But considering that everything Yang Xuan did over the years had its own deep meaning, Haotian was silent for a moment, then nodded, using his quasi-saint cultivation to conceal the secrets of heaven and temporarily block the perception of the way of heaven.

"My dear, you can start now."

"Your Majesty, in my early years, I felt that the rules of heaven were incomplete and that there was a lack of restraint on the gods. Many gods were in their positions but did not perform their duties."

"At that time, the Heavenly Court was just established, and many of the God positions were vacant. There had been no troubles yet. However, under the leadership of Lord Haotian and Queen Mother, the Heavenly Court would surely prosper."

Yang Xuan paused slightly and flattered silently.

Although the two above are pure noobs, it is undeniable that they are also his leaders, so he still has to flatter them.

"By then, the number of righteous gods will increase. If there are no rules and laws to restrain them, it will be detrimental to the Heavenly Court and the prehistoric world."

"In order to verify this conjecture, I arranged for the gods of the Siming Temple more than 50,000 years ago to magnify this problem as much as possible without affecting the development of the Heavenly Court to see if it would cause chaos in the Heavenly Court."

"It turns out that this hidden danger in the Heavenly Palace is more serious than I imagined."

"Only 50,000 years have passed, and there are immortals who refuse to obey the rules. Some even secretly go down to the mortal world to recruit people with heavy karma to heaven, causing chaos in the heavenly court."

Haotian has long known that the gods in heaven are in their positions but not performing their duties, but he can do nothing about it.

Before Yang Xuan ascended to heaven, the Heavenly Court was not well-received by the prehistoric world, and very few living beings were able to ascend to heaven.

Even though he knew that most immortals and gods were accustomed to the days of being remote gods, few of them performed their duties as gods.

He only enjoyed the benefits brought by the position of a god in heaven, but failed to fulfill his obligations.

It is commonly known as drawing a salary without doing any work.

As a result, many immortals and gods spent dozens of years visiting but still could not obtain enough incense, and even the golden body of incense could not be condensed.

However, the number of immortals and gods in heaven is already small, and it is not easy for Haotian to punish them.

At least these immortals and gods who join the Heavenly Court will still occasionally perform their divine duties, which can assist the operation of the Heavenly Court and relieve the pressure on Haotian and the Queen Mother.

If these immortals and gods were punished and forced to leave Heaven and spread the news in the lower world, wouldn't the situation in Heaven be even worse?

That is why they have not taken any action so far.

It was not until Yang Xuan promulgated the Heavenly Court Merit System that all immortals and gods could obtain Heavenly Court Merits by performing their divine duties, which could be exchanged for immortal pills and spiritual weapons.

This is what made these immortals and gods take the initiative to perform their duties and change the current situation in heaven, at least to prevent the phenomenon of people drawing salaries without doing anything.

As for the chaos in Heaven caused by the lack of rules and laws, they had never paid attention to it before.

After all, as quasi-saints, it is naturally impossible for them to recruit people with heavy karma.

During Yang Xuan's management of the Heavenly Court, he was extremely strict about recruiting immortals and gods. Although he did not kill all creatures with karma, if they were dragons or demons whose entire race was rejected by heaven and earth and carried karma because of the mistakes of their ancestors, Yang Xuan would give them a chance.

But if someone has bad conduct and is entangled in karma due to his own faults, then Yang Xuan will definitely not accept him.

Because of this, even though there were living beings with karma in the heaven in the past, after they went to heaven, they performed their duties more diligently in order to obtain more resources and make further progress in their cultivation.

It is not like it is now. Not only are there creatures entangled in karma everywhere in the Heaven, but these creatures are also undisciplined and have no rules, making the Heaven a mess.

Haotian and Jinmu looked at this scene and felt a little uneasy. They felt that if this continued, these creatures with bad conduct and entangled in karma would bring disaster to the Heavenly Palace.

Before they could think about it, they heard Yang Xuan continue:

"Your Majesty, Madam, the reason why the dragon, phoenix, unicorn, and lich races are heading for destruction is closely related to karma."

“Although the Heavenly Court is now recognized by the Heavenly Dao and its luck is still strong, we don’t have to take these karmas to heart.”

“But if the gods in heaven are of bad character and have bad karma, and then use their divine power to do things that harm the prehistoric world, I’m afraid that some of the karma will fall on heaven.”

"If this continues without restraint, it will probably bring disaster to the Heavenly Court!"

Hearing this, Haotian and Queen Mother's faces gradually became serious.

The Heaven Palace is related to their path, although they themselves also joked that their days in the Heaven Palace have been miserable over the years.

But asking them to give up Heaven is obviously impossible.

They have been suffering for so many years and are now on the verge of surviving the hard times. Their cultivation has improved and they may even be able to slay the evil corpses in the future. How could they possibly be willing to see Heaven come to an end?

Haotian and Queen Mother looked at each other and knew that since Yang Xuan said so, he must have already thought of a solution. Perhaps Yang Xuan had even prepared the Heavenly Rules.

After a moment of silence, the two of them asked in a deep voice:
"Are you prepared for this, my dear?"

Yang Xuan nodded. He came here just for this matter.

When Haotian asked this, Yang Xuan immediately took out a jade book and used his magic power to lift it up and placed it in front of Haotian.

"Your Majesty, this is the framework of the Heavenly Law that I have drafted over the years. I hope Your Majesty will give me your guidance."

Haotian took the jade book and scanned it with his spiritual sense. He was then slightly stunned. He looked at it carefully several times and couldn't help but twitching the corners of his eyes twice.

No, you call this a frame? Whose frame looks like this? !
Although Yang Xuan said it was the framework of the Heavenly Rules, in Haotian's opinion, it was much more rigorous than the current Heavenly Rules and there was absolutely no comparison.

There are thirty-three layers of heaven, and each layer has its own corresponding heavenly rules. They are extremely detailed, with nearly 100,000 rules! It can be seen that Yang Xuan has put a lot of thought into it!
"My dear, you are thoughtful..."

After a long while, Haotian finally withdrew his mind from the jade book. He sighed and handed the jade book to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was also stunned for a long time when she looked at the contents of the Jade Book. She checked it over and over again. After a long silence, she couldn't help but praise it:
"Your talent is truly rare in the prehistoric world. How dare Yuan Hong think of competing with you? He really doesn't know his own limitations. How ridiculous!"

Yang Xuan not only saw the major problems concerning the development of Heaven, but also provided the answers to the problems, solving all the problems for Haotian and Queen Mother, without them having to worry about anything at all.

They are not like Yuan Hong and others, whose actions not only did not help the development of Heavenly Court, but instead brought disaster to Heavenly Court.

The Queen Mother's eyes looked at Yang Xuan with an increasingly kind and friendly expression, but also with distress.

"My dear, you are good in every way, but you are too independent and too ambitious. You don't give me any chance to show my abilities!"

"It seems I have to take the initiative, Qingluan..."

Thinking of Qingluan's matter, the Queen Mother couldn't help but frown slightly. She didn't know how to start the conversation. She could only put the matter aside for the time being and let Qingluan speak for herself.

Afterwards, at Yang Xuan's strong request, Haotian and Queen Mother raised a number of questions regarding the 'framework' of the Heavenly Rules on the Jade Book, and jointly discussed the matter of the Heavenly Rules, as well as some of the details therein.

But in the end, Haotian and Queen Mother still handed the matter over to Yang Xuan, and let him be fully responsible for establishing the Heavenly Rules.

The Heavenly Laws are of great importance and have far-reaching influence on the Heavenly Court. Once they are established, the merits of the Heavenly Way will surely be bestowed.

The arrival of the merits of Heaven means the recognition of Heaven. If Heaven recognizes it, what else can they say?

To take a step back, even if the Heavenly Rules finally formulated by Yang Xuan could not be recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

Over the years, Haotian and Queen Mother can be sure that the heavenly rules formulated by Yang Xuan are beneficial to the Heavenly Court, and that is enough.

Yang Xuan was not surprised by Haotian and Queen Mother's hands-off behavior, and he was too lazy to complain.

As long as you can establish the Heavenly Rules, you will not only gain more luck from Heaven, but also merit from Heaven. It doesn't matter if you're tired.

When Yang Xuan was about to leave the Lingxiao Palace, the Queen Mother suddenly called him:
"My dear, remember to add one more rule to your day: The gods of heaven must not indulge in personal feelings or be swayed by personal feelings while performing their duties."

Haotian thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement:
"The seven emotions and six desires are the most entangled. If the immortals and gods abuse their divine power due to personal emotions, it will not benefit the prehistoric world. This rule really needs to be added."

Yang Xuan paused, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

According to normal development, among the many laws of heaven, there is one that stipulates that the immortals and gods in heaven are not allowed to have private feelings for mortals, and violators will be severely punished.

It is precisely because of this heavenly rule that Fairy Yunhua's secret meeting with a mortal will become the trigger for the Conferred God Tribulation.

But now, this rule has undergone some changes.

There are already quite a few immortals and gods in heaven today, and many of them are couples. If we now stipulate that the immortals and gods in heaven cannot fall in love, wouldn't that mean they will be driven out of heaven?

Moreover, over the years, these immortals and gods have demonstrated through their actions that being companions does not affect the performance of their divine duties.

Perhaps it was because of this that Haotian and Queen Mother changed their minds and changed the heavenly rule that prohibits private emotions into a rule that the gods in heaven are not allowed to abuse their divine power for private emotions.

“I don’t know whether this change is good or bad, how the Conferred God Tribulation will begin, what will be the final outcome of Fairy Yunhua, and whether the three Yang Jian sisters can be born again…”

Yang Xuan sighed helplessly, but the current rules were obviously more reasonable than the rule that the gods in heaven were not allowed to have private feelings, and it would bring more benefits to the development of heaven, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty are right. I will definitely add this."

After saying that, Yang Xuan said goodbye and left.

When he walked out of the Lingxiao Palace, the Queen Mother glanced at Haotian and said with a smile:

"The rank of Third-Rank Great Celestial Venerable is still too low. We must find an opportunity to elevate your rank."

"You are right, fellow Daoist. It's just that your cultivation is too low. It's unreasonable for a second-rank emperor to not have the cultivation of Daluo..."

Haotian sighed helplessly. Naturally, he also wanted to promote Yang Xuan so that he could delegate more power and leave all matters of heaven to Yang Xuan.

However, the relationship between the second-rank emperor and the emperor is of great importance. The seal of his divine power is condensed by the power of heaven and is an innate spiritual treasure. Only Daluo can hold the position.

Even if Haotian felt that Yang Xuan could serve as the second-rank emperor, it would not be a good idea to do so directly.

"However... with your luck and understanding, I think it won't take long for you to achieve Daluo. We just need to wait a little longer."

Haotian smiled slightly and had made a decision in his mind that the day when Yang Xuan achieved Daluo would be the day when he would be promoted to the second grade.

Afterwards, Haotian and Queen Mother's spiritual voices left the Heavenly Palace and continued to return to the endless starry sky to search for corpses.

As for the matter concerning Yuan Hong, they didn't care at all. He was just a chess piece and Yang Xuan could do whatever he wanted with him.
