Chapter 226: The Heavenly Dao Altar, Su Changyu Arrives In Great Qian Dynasty

Ye Ping was indeed full of curiosity.

‘Omnipotent Wealth?’

‘What Dharmic formulation is that?’

‘I’ve never heard of it.’

Seeing how bewildered Ye Ping was, Xue Zhuan stopped keeping him in suspense and instead looked at Ye Ping.

“Ye Ping, the world covets benefits and interests.”

“I comprehended the so-called Omnipotent Wealth by observing the nature of this world.”

“Ye Ping, let me ask you, don’t you agree that everything in this world is predetermined?”

Xue Zhuan asked.

Ye Ping nodded. That was indeed true.

Everything in this world is about profits.

‘Can this thing be used for comprehending Mystical Abilities?’

Seeing that Ye Ping had nodded, Xue Zhuan continued, “In this case, doesn’t it mean that all people in this world, be it cultivators or ordinary people, revolve their lives around gold, silver, treasures, and Spirit Stones for the sake of wealth?”

Xue Zhuan continued.

“It’s naturally so.”

Ye Ping answered. In this world, everything could be settled with money. Be it ordinary citizens or cultivators and powerhouses, they were all out to get money.

“Okay, since this is the case, can this be perceived as Heaven’s will?”

Xue Zhuan continued.

‘Uh…’

Ye Ping immediately slipped into deep thought.

Seeking money and profits was part of economics. Although it wasn’t impossible to link it to metaphysics, it seemed to be a stretch and it sounded rather strange.

However, Ye Ping still answered him seriously, “Pretty much.”

Xue Zhuan shook his head after hearing Ye Ping’s answer. “No, it’s definitely that way. Ye Ping, the world is vast and there are countless nations in this world. Be it a nation, a dynasty, or an ancient sect, money and wealth are what everyone is after.”

“That means that everything is determined by heaven.”

Xue Zhuan’s words made a lot of sense. At this moment, Ye Ping didn’t have anything else to say because it was indeed correct.

“Senior Brother, what do you mean?”

Ye Ping nodded and looked at Xue Zhuan again with his eyes full of curiosity.

He couldn’t figure out exactly what Xue Zhuan wanted to express.

“Don’t you understand what I mean?”

Xue Zhuan continued after hearing Ye Ping’s question, seeming extremely mysterious.

This time, Ye Ping was really caught off guard.

He really didn’t understand what Xue Zhuan meant.

“Senior Brother, please pardon me for my ignorance.”

Ye Ping really didn’t understand what he meant so he could only say so.

After hearing that, Xue Zhuan shook his head and there was obvious disappointment in his eyes.

However, he said curiously, “What I want to express is very simple.”

“Since all people and cultivators in this world, regardless of race, are coveting profits, it means that it’s Heaven’s will and it has been predestined by Heaven.”

“This shows that the Heavenly Dao loves money too, do you understand?”

Xue Zhuan revealed the profoundness of it.

At this moment, his gaze was firm and austere.

That made Ye Ping freeze as he stood rooted to the ground.

‘The Heavenly Dao loves money?’

‘What kind of logic is that?’

Ye Ping really didn’t expect Xue Zhuan to have learned the fundamentals of economics and could understand the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, he felt that Xue Zhuan seemed to know something.

It was not that Ye Ping would believe everything, but rather, he felt that it was only normal for there to be many things that could not be explained in this world of immortal cultivation.

Besides, destiny and the Heavenly Dao were often used as an explanation.

Most importantly, Xue Zhuan seemed to have made a lot of sense.

He was not making things up.

After thinking about it carefully, Ye Ping felt that Xue Zhan was right too.

Besides, he made a lot of sense.

Everything in this world was about the pursuit of profits. Mortals and Saints would both steal. Ordinary people would covet taels of silver, but immortal cultivators were transcendent and did not like money or treasures. However, they actually just coveted things that were more precious than money and treasures.

Hence, it could indeed be deduced that the Heavenly Dao loved money.

However, so what if they knew about that? It’s not like they could bribe the Heavenly Dao.

Looking at Xue Zhuan, Ye Ping couldn’t help but ask seriously, “Senior Brother, what is the Great Dao that you have comprehended?”

Ye Ping asked.

At the mention of this, Xue Zhuan adjusted his clothes before standing up to look at Ye Ping.

“The Great Dao that I have comprehended is the Omnipotent Wealth, which is a supreme Dharmic Dao.”

“This Dharmic Dao cannot be written into a book and can only be imparted verbally. But Ye Ping, I’m only going to say it once. If you can learn it, that’ll be great. But if you can’t, don’t force yourself either.”

Xue Zhuan said solemnly, “The main thing is, don’t mention this to anyone. If the heavenly secret is revealed and heaven finds out one day, it’ll be a huge disaster for both of us. Do you understand?”

He looked at Ye Ping as if he was talking about some big secret.

Ye Ping couldn’t help but nod and say, “I understand, please teach it to me.”

He sat upright and asked Xue Zhuan to teach him.

The latter nodded and immediately said, “Ye Ping, this Dao is called the Omnipotent Wealth. You can understand it as a sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao.”

“It’s the creation of a Heavenly Dao Altar using spiritual energy, but the altar must be formed in one’s heart because one’s heart is linked to heaven. Once the altar is formed, valuables like Spirit Stones, Dharma treasures, Mystical Abilities, and cultivation techniques can all be offered to Heaven.”

“Once the sacrifice is made, make a wish for what you want to get in return. If the Heavenly Dao detects it and is willing to help you, the things you sacrifice will disappear and be taken away by the Heavenly Dao. If it refuses to help you, do you know what it means?”

Xue Zhuan started babbling nonsensically.

It was somewhat imaginary but it was not completely false. There was some evidence to back it up.

In this world, the imperial dynasties were above the people and all major matters would be reported to the Heavens.

It was just a difference in the sacrificial objects. Besides, Xue Zhuan was just giving him a simple and straightforward explanation.

After listening to what Xue Zhuan said, Ye Ping thought for a while and then replied.

“If the Heavenly Dao refuses to help, does that mean that Heaven is not willing to help? Or is the matter too difficult for Heaven to help?”

Ye Ping gave an answer based on his own understanding.

However, Xue Zhuan shook his head.

“No, no.”

“If it doesn’t help, it means…”

“We have to add more sacrificial objects.”

Xue Zhuan answered very solemnly, but the last sentence of his left Ye Ping at a loss for words.

“We have to add more sacrificial objects?”

“Yes, you have to add more.”

“The Heavenly Dao is invincible and omnipotent. How can it be incapable of fulfilling the wishes of a small cultivator? However, the Heavenly Dao won’t help you, entirely because the objects you offered are too little in amount.”

“So, if you find that the Heavenly Dao is not helping, you should increase the amount of sacrificial objects until the Heavenly Dao is willing to help.”

Xue Zhuan continued when he saw Ye Ping’s reaction.

At this moment, Ye Ping seemed amazed.

‘Fourth Senior Brother’s theory is much better than Eldest Senior Brother’s.’

‘Eldest Senior Brother always only gives me suggestions and tells me to comprehend it myself.’

‘But Fourth Senior Brother is different. He talks about the core and lets me have a clear understanding.’

However, despite having understood what he said, Ye Ping was still confused.

“Fourth Senior Brother, how do I cultivate this Mystical Ability?”

Ye Ping asked.

“It’s difficult but not quite so either. It mainly depends on your comprehension and whether or not Heaven is willing to accept your bestowal.”

“You have to imagine the Heavenly Dao Altar in your head first. That’s the first step. If you can, you will succeed.”

“However, it’s really difficult to do so and it’s hard for me to help you with that too.”

Xue Zhuan answered.

He had made up that theory anyway.

The Heavenly Dao Altar was purely an exaggerated description. Otherwise, how could he make himself seem impressive?

However, Xue Zhuan didn’t really want to let Ye Ping waste his time.

He was just paving the way for what he was going to say next.

“Ye Ping, it’s not a must to master this Mystical Ability. It all depends on opportunities and luck.”

“But you have to understand what I mean and save more money. Regardless of what you do, you have to protect your own interests before anything else.”

“Maybe you can’t comprehend this Mystical Ability, but if you really have money, you can at least achieve the Omnipotent Wealth.”

“You have to understand its meaning, know how to be frugal and restrain your spending. Do you understand?”

That was what Xue Zhuan really wanted to impart to Ye Ping.

It was the way to live.

He wanted Ye Ping to understand the value of money and Spirit Stones, so that he wouldn’t be a spendthrift or think that Xue Zhuan was being a petty miser. He was just pretending to be noble.

“Okay, Senior Brother, I understand.”

Ye Ping nodded. Actually, he completely understood that. Having lived two lives, he obviously understood how important money was.

However, at this moment, Ye Ping was more and more interested in the Omnipotent Wealth.

He wanted to try and see if he was fated to comprehend that Mystical Ability.

If he could comprehend it, it would indeed be of great benefit to him.

Ye Ping did not lack any money or Spirit Stones because he still had those one million Spirit Stones that he had been awarded with at the Ten Nations Grand Tournament.

After he returned to the sect, Li Yu sent someone to deliver the Spirit Stones to him.

“Okay, since you already understand, I won’t go on anymore. Spend the next few days comprehending it well. When you’re free, follow Lin Bei along to do some treasure appraisal. If you can really buy some good stuff, it’ll add on to your savings.”

“Remember my words, you have to be frugal and do whatever that will benefit you. Stay away from things that won’t bring you any benefit.”

“In short, don’t lose out and do your best to earn loads of money.”

Xue Zhuan got up, patted Ye Ping’s shoulder, and turned around to leave after saying those words.

After Xue Zhuan left, Ye Ping was alone in the room.

Five minutes passed.

Ye Ping went to the bed and sat cross-legged on it.

He closed his eyes and observed the so-called Heavenly Dao Altar.

It was evolving.

Time passed bit by bit.

Bright early in the following morning, a sound was soon heard in the quiet room.

Creak.

It was the sound of a window and door being blown open by the wind.

However, at this moment, a gust of clear breeze caressed his face.

In the blink of an eye, an ancient altar appeared in Ye Ping’s mind.

At the same time…

In the capital of the Great Qian dynasty.

Five snow-white spirit horses began moving slowly towards the palace, pulling a carriage behind them.

In the Great Qian Dynasty, there were explicit rules that stated that the emperor was to have nine horses, the Crown Prince was to have eight, the princes were to have seven, the marquises were to have six, while the princesses were to have five.

Since there were five spirit horses, it meant that the person in the carriage was either the princess of the dynasty or a person who was second only to the prince.

Su Changyu was seated quietly in the spacious carriage.

The Ninth Princess of the Great Qian Dynasty, Princess Xu Yang, was seated on the main seat with Li Changqing on his right.

However, the three people in the carriage seemed unusually quiet.

Overnight, the three of them came to the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty and were now returning to the palace.

Princess Xu Yang was overwhelmed with boredom when she was in the palace and her mood was much better now that Su Changyu was returning with her.

However, at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and soon, someone spoke up.

“Your Highness, the son of Marquis An Bang, Xu Jin, would like to see you.”

In an instant, Princess Xu Yang could not help but frown slightly.

“Xu Jin? Why does he want to see me?”

Princess Xu Yang couldn’t help but mutter to herself curiously.

Li Changqing, who was on the right, picked up his wine glass and took a sip of wine before saying, “Everyone knows what Xu Jin feels about you. He just wants to get closer to you. After all, he carries a torch for you.”

Li Changqing said calmly with a glass of wine in hand.

After hearing his words, Princess Xu Yang immediately frowned.

“He’s so annoying. I’ve long told my father not to let me marry Xu Jin. Xu Jin really doesn’t know how to act appropriately.”

However, at this moment, someone outside spoke up.

“Ninth Princess, it’s me, Xu Jin. I’m going to the palace too, can I join you?”

Xu Jin sounded extremely enthusiastic and seemed to be forcing his way through. Princess Xu Yang felt rather awkward even though she wanted to turn him down.

Princess Xu Yang said, “Let him in.”

He was the son of a marquis and if she didn’t allow him to come on board, it would indeed be inappropriate.

“Yes.”

The attendant outside the carriage acknowledged.

Soon, a man in blue entered the carriage, and after seeing Princess Xu Yang, he immediately bowed to her.

“Greetings, Your Highness Xu Yang.”

The Ninth Princess was a favored daughter of the emperor and although Xu Jin was the son of a marquis, he had to address her with respect. He dared not overstep such rules, but in the next moment, Xu Jin couldn’t help but look at Su Changyu.

Xu Jin knew Li Changqing, but naturally, he wasn’t interested at all.

However, after seeing Su Changyu, Xu Jin’s expression became a bit odd.

He was the son of Marquis An Bang and held a powerful position. He was going to succeed his father’s position as Marquis in the future and was also known for being a bootlicker. Everyone knew that he had a crush on Princess Xu Yang.

Marquis An Bang went to the emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty to ask for his permission to let his son marry the Ninth Princess. The emperor felt that they were compatible since he was the son of the marquis.

However, the problem was that Princess Xu Yang refused to agree so there was nothing he could do.

However, Princess Xu Yang couldn’t stop Xu Jin from pursuing her.

Xu Jin would go look for her every now and then, so much that she couldn’t stand it any longer. In fact, she left the palace this time to avoid Xu Jin.

However, she did not expect to run into him this time.

As for Xu Jin…

Su Changyu’s appearance made him feel threatened.

Well because Su Changyu… was just too handsome.

To be more specific, he was outrageously handsome.

He could hold a candle to Xu Jin.

In an instant, Xu Jin felt an even greater sense of crisis.
