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

Chapter 200: The Forgotten River spreads throughout the underworld, and Maitreya is encountered in the sea of ​​blood!

"Great Lord, I wonder if you have allowed us to stay here, but do you have anything to ask of me?"

When Ao Guang saw that Yang Xuan left them, the high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan, alone, he immediately showed joy on his face.

Although they didn't know why Yang Xuan kept them here, based on past experience, this must be a good thing!
However, Yang Xuan did not directly state his plan. Instead, he stretched out his hand, held Youlian in his arms, and asked:
"What do you think of Youlian?"

It's strange to say, now several kalpas have passed, Youlian still hasn't grown taller, still looks like a child, hanging out with the little white tiger all day long, and his mentality is also like that of a child.

But her cultivation level has nothing to do with her appearance.

When she was still in the ancient times, because of Hou Tu's intervention, Youlian no longer had any karma, and her cultivation was not as difficult to improve as that of most dragons.

However, her cultivation speed was only average, not amazing. But after entering the netherworld, things were different.

In this netherworld, she was like a child of luck. Not only had her comprehension been greatly improved, but things that had seemed obscure and difficult to understand in the past, in the netherworld, she could gain something with just a little effort.

Moreover, in the Netherworld, the deadly aura that can be found everywhere is extremely poisonous to other living beings, capable of endangering their lives and damaging their foundations. They don't even have time to hide from it.

This is not the case for Youlian.

Originally, Youlian should have died in the egg, but because of Yang Xuan, she was successfully born.

But because its origin was contaminated with death when it was a dragon egg, it became a state of neither life nor death. It was regarded as an alien by heaven and earth and was despised by them.

When Yang Xuan came to Yunmeng Dragon Palace for the second time, Hou Tu was attracted because of him. Hou Tu personally mobilized the power of the earth to provide protection for Youlian, so that she was no longer despised by heaven and earth.

Hou Tu also eliminated the karma of You Lian, but did not eliminate the death energy in her origin. Instead, she used the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk to completely merge the death energy with her origin.

Because of this, Youlian became fundamentally in tune with the Netherworld, as if it were a native of the Netherworld.

It is precisely for this reason that the deadly energy that others avoid is the purest spiritual energy in the world for Youlian.

By refining the deadly energy that can be found everywhere in the Netherworld, and with the identity of the son of luck in the Netherworld and the resources allocated to him by the dragon clan, Youlian's practice is really making great progress.

Today, Youlian has only entered the Netherworld for three kalpas, and her cultivation has already caught up with Yang Xuan. A few years ago, she broke through to the perfection of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Moreover, the foundation is solid, without any vanity, and in the future it may even be expected to bloom the top three grades of fine flowers and achieve the Daluo fruit position!
The reason why the dragon clan tilted resources towards Youlian was not only because Youlian was close to Yang Xuan and they wanted to show their goodwill to Yang Xuan, but also because Youlian had a unique background, deep blessings and good fortune, and she had great potential to achieve Daluo in the future.

Now, hearing Yang Xuan suddenly mention Youlian, Ao Guang showed a look of confusion on his face.

Could it be that the Great Celestial Venerable specifically asked us to stay here just for Youlian? Did he think that the benefits we gave Youlian were not enough? That Youlian's cultivation level was not improving fast enough?
But for such a small matter, why don’t the Great Celestial Venerable just say it directly? Although our dragon clan has declined, it is still not a problem to cultivate a Daluo Jinxian.

Even though he couldn't figure it out, Ao Guang still told the truth:

"Youlian's karma has been completely eliminated, and her comprehension is amazing. She is the most outstanding descendant of the dragon clan. As long as Youlian practices well, she will become a Daluo in the future!"

Ao Guang's words were both a response to Yang Xuan's question and a statement of his position.

The implication of this sentence is that as long as Youlian practices well, the dragon clan's background will allow her to cultivate to the level of Daluo Jinxian no matter what!
Yang Xuan glanced at Ao Guang, rubbed Youlian's head, and said meaningfully:

"In fact, the reason why I asked you to stay this time is because I have something to do with Youlian's path. It is also a good opportunity for the dragon race. Perhaps it can eliminate some of the karma of the dragon race. I wonder if you are interested?"

"I am willing to listen to the great celestial master's teachings!"

Ao Guang showed joy on his face and bowed quickly.

After hearing this, how could he not understand what Yang Xuan meant?
Yang Xuan's words clearly meant that he had an opportunity to give to the dragon clan, but Youlian must occupy a dominant position in this opportunity and gain the greatest benefit.

After all, Youlian is also a member of the dragon clan. If Youlian takes the dominant position, the participating dragon clan can also eliminate some of their karma. How could Ao Guang refuse?
He didn't even know what this opportunity was, but the list of the treasure house in the East China Sea Dragon Palace appeared in his mind, and he began to think about what thank-you gift he should give to Yang Xuan.

They still owed Yang Xuan a lot of favors for the construction of the underworld over the years, and now is a good opportunity to repay them all at once.

However, Yang Xuan's status is getting higher and higher now, and what kind of spiritual object should be used as a thank-you gift in a polite manner has become a problem that has always troubled Ao Guang.

Before he could think about it, he heard Yang Xuan say:

"When a dragon occupies a body of water, it can be called the Dragon King. There happens to be a water vein in the Netherworld that matches the status of Youlian."

“If Youlian can become the Dragon King of this water vein, I cannot say whether he can achieve Quasi-Sainthood in the future, but I think it will not be a problem for him to reach the middle stage of Daluo.”

"Water veins? The water veins that the Great Celestial Venerable is talking about are..."

Ao Guang's eyes flickered. Speaking of water veins, the most famous water vein in the underworld seemed to be the one on the Yellow Springs Road.

At the same time, this is also the only water vein in the underworld today. It has a vast area and is of great significance to the underworld and the underworld.

If Youlian could really occupy this water vein and become the first Dragon King in the underworld, the fortune of the dragon clan would surely increase, and the karma of the dragon clan would also be reduced.

As for Yang Xuan's statement, Ao Guang thought it was still too conservative. Quasi-sainthood was unlikely, but the middle stage of Daluo was not the limit. There was hope for the late stage or even perfection.

The situation of the dragon clan is special, and the title of Dragon King is not just for show. Not only does it have a higher status, but it also concerns one's own path!
"Looking at your expression, I think you have guessed the water vein I was talking about. You are right, I am talking about the Wangchuan River!"

"However, I am not talking about the Forgotten River today."

Yang Xuan smiled slightly, his gaze seemed to penetrate all the obstructions of the Fengdu Ghost Palace, and came to the highest point of the Netherworld, overlooking the entire Netherworld.

"The netherworld is vast and boundless. It is a complete world. It is the world after the death of all living beings in the ancient world."

"The Netherworld should only be different from the Primordial World in terms of yin and yang, but it can't be as desolate as it is now. Since the Primordial World has four seas and countless water veins running through the Primordial World, the Netherworld should be the same."

"However, the Forgotten River today is nothing more than a small island on the ocean to the Netherworld. It is insignificant!"

At this point, Yang Xuan looked serious, his eyes swept over Ao Guang and the others, and he said in a deep voice:

“I hope that in the future the Wangchuan River can spread throughout the Netherworld, Youlian can become the Wangchuan Dragon King, and every important tributary of the Wangchuan River will have a dragon in charge!”

"I wonder if fellow Taoists from the Dragon Clan can help me sort out the veins of the Wangchuan River and complete this task?"

After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent, and everyone stared with wide eyes, looking stunned.

The Wangchuan Dragon King that they understood and the Wangchuan Dragon King that Yang Xuan wanted were two completely different things.

The Wangchuan Dragon King they imagined was the one who occupied the current Wangchuan River and became a great master on the road to the underworld. If planned properly, he could obtain partial authority of reincarnation.

But in the final analysis, such a Wangchuan Dragon King still belongs to the underworld. The Wangchuan Dragon King that Yang Xuan wants is to make the Wangchuan River spread throughout the underworld, becoming the only water vein in the underworld now and in the future.

If this can be accomplished and Youlian can become the Dragon King of the Wangchuan River, then the status of the Wangchuan dragon clan in the underworld will be equivalent to that of the Earth Immortal Sect in the ancient times!
Although it cannot be compared with the underworld, it is also a major force in the netherworld, and the luck that the dragon clan can obtain is terrifying.

As for Youlian, perhaps he really has the hope of becoming a quasi-saint!
"Is this really something a Taiyi Jinxian should think about?"

Ao Guang was dumbfounded. Who could have thought that Yang Xuan's ambition would be so big. He was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, but he dared to plan such a big thing.

“But then again, in the past few years, he dared to plot against the Western Religion and dug Ksitigarbha from the Western Religion to the underworld. Now he is plotting against the Forgotten River, so it is not something that is difficult to understand.”

Ao Guang nodded secretly, feeling relieved.

There were just two things he couldn't figure out. First, the water in the Wangchuan River was filled with pure, deadly energy.

Except for Youlian, all the dragons are living creatures. No matter how strong their bodies are, forcibly occupying the tributaries of Wangchuan River will not be a good thing for these people.

Secondly, if the dragon clan can really sort out the veins of the Wangchuan River and make it spread throughout the underworld, the dragon clan will certainly be able to greatly increase their luck and gain huge benefits.

But what benefit can Yang Xuan get from this? What is his purpose in doing this? Is it just for Youlian?

"Could it be that... Youlian has some connection with him? Or does this Wangchuan River have another function that I don't know about?"

Ao Guang was puzzled, but what was certain was that combing the water veins of Wangchuan would be beneficial to the dragon clan rather than harmful.

However, the Netherworld is the private domain of the Witch Clan. Whether this can be accomplished or not does not depend on the Dragon Clan’s words, and the Witch Clan’s approval is also needed.

He didn't think much about it, but asked the question directly.

"We will obey the orders of the Great Celestial Venerable. However, if we want to sort out the veins of the Wangchuan River and let Youlian become the Wangchuan Dragon King in the future, I'm afraid we still need the consent of the Wu Clan."

"There's no need to worry about that."

Yang Xuan waved his hands, his expression unchanged.

"Combing the veins of Wangchuan River is a perfect way to improve the netherworld, which can provide a better environment for Yin spirits to cultivate. As long as the key points are made clear, the Wu Clan will not only not stop us, but will also open the door to convenience."

"As for letting Youlian become the Wangchuan Dragon King and letting the dragon clan take over the Wangchuan branch, I will come forward to negotiate with the Wu clan."

"But the price required must be paid by the Dragon Clan themselves. I am a lonely person and cannot afford such a price."

Yang Xuan smiled and joked, but Ao Guang looked serious and quickly expressed his opinion.

"The Great Celestial Venerable is willing to intervene with the Wu Clan on our behalf. The Dragon Clan is extremely grateful and will certainly reward you handsomely. How could we let you suffer any loss?"

"But I still have a little confusion, and I hope the Great Heavenly Venerable can help me solve it."

"Just say it."

Yang Xuan nodded. He had already guessed what Ao Guang was asking. There were only a few difficult problems in the dragon clan's quest to sort out the veins of the Wangchuan River. It was not difficult to guess the answers.

"Your Majesty, the dragon clan is a living being. They are in conflict with the water of the Wangchuan River. I'm afraid that it is not a good thing for these people to become the dragon kings of the Wangchuan River's tributaries. Does your Majesty have a solution?"

"Dragon King, what you said is wrong!"

Yang Xuan looked calm, as he had already made up his mind.

"The Dragon King of the Wangchuan River can only be Youlian!"

"As for the other dragons in the tributaries of the Wangchuan River, they are in charge of the Wangchuan River as the Wangchuan water gods of the underworld, and are responsible for organizing the waters in that area."

“As the water god of the underworld, with the protection of the underworld, even if the dragons are living beings, they can practice normally in the Forgotten River!”

"I see……"

Ao Guang nodded slightly, but felt a little disappointed.

Originally, he thought that after he finished combing the water veins of the Wangchuan River and spread it all over the Netherworld, he would let the dragon clan, led by Youlian, take control of the Wangchuan River.

Then the status of Youlian's dragon clan in the underworld will be like that of the Earth Immortal Sect in the ancient times. It will become a major force in the underworld with a special status.

Now it seems that this branch of the dragon clan is still a member of the underworld, and is not independent from the underworld.

But then again, as long as this task can be accomplished, the luck of the dragon clan will also greatly increase, and their status in the underworld will become more special.

Moreover, only in this way will the Witch Clan agree to hand over the task of managing the water veins to the Dragon Clan, and only in this way will the Dragon Clan agree to allow the Dragon Clan to rule the Forgotten River in the future and become the water god of this place.

Only in this way can we explain why Yang Xuan did this.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that in order to enhance the reputation of the underworld, Yang Xuan even dared to dig into the corners of Western religions.

The importance of the underworld to him is self-evident, and in the future he will become one of the main decision-makers in the underworld.

The reason why he asked the dragon clan to comb the veins of the Wangchuan River and become the water god of the Wangchuan River was not because he wanted the authority of the underworld to radiate from managing the reincarnation of living beings to all parts of the netherworld and further strengthen the prestige of the underworld!
If this is accomplished, no matter what kind of changes happen in the underworld in the future, even without the protection of the saint Hou Tu, the ruling position of the underworld will not be shaken, and Yang Xuan's authority in the underworld will be further enhanced.

"perhaps……"

Ao Guang's eyes flickered. Thinking about what had happened in the underworld over the years, Hou Tu's attitude, and the favor from the underworld, a bold idea came to his mind.

"If this is true, then as long as the dragon race performs well, not only will their luck increase greatly in the future, but they will also be able to obtain more blessings from the heavenly realms, further eliminating the karma of the dragon race!"

After a moment's silence, Ao Guang clasped his hands and bowed respectfully to Yang Xuan.

"Great Celestial Venerable, please rest assured that the Dragon Clan will do its utmost to manage the Wangchuan River and spread it throughout the Netherworld as soon as possible. We will never allow any accidents to happen!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Dragon King."

Afterwards, Yang Xuan explained some more details and asked Ao Guang to arrange for the dragon clan and creatures from the four seas to go to the Netherworld to start managing the water veins.

In this way, the affairs of the underworld were arranged properly. Yang Xuan called Qingluan and did not tell anyone that he, the great contributor to the underworld, left the Netherworld quietly and prepared to return to Heaven to break through to the Daluo realm.

But just as Qingluan flew out of the Ghost Gate and arrived at the Sea of ​​Blood, he was stopped by a fat-headed and big-eared Taoist priest...
