Chapter 40: Divine Diagram’s Five Roads Wealth God
The exact amount that can be condensed depends entirely on one’s own mental power.
Mental power serves as the ink, will as the brush, using the God of Wealth Scroll Painting Imprint as the foundation, beginning to derive conceptions outward.
It was clearly felt that, as the 【Ancient Scroll Painting】 God of Wealth Imprint, it was indeed quite different from the previous Black and White Impermanence.
But this difference was limited only to the God of Wealth itself; the other mythological figures conceived from it did not have this special fluctuation.
Finally, at the moment when mental power was about to be exhausted, the 【Five Paths of Wealth God】 was barely conceived, transforming into a Soul Divine Diagram.
The Huaxia Mythology System from his previous life was complex, with various interpretations.
Therefore, to highlight Xuantan True Lord Zhao Gongming’s prestige, Wu Xian deliberately chose the concept and version of the minor Five Paths of Wealth God, which is the Five Paths of Wealth God system derived from the 《Investiture of the Gods》: Marshal Zhao, Treasure Summoning Heavenly Lord Xiao Sheng, Treasure Gathering Heavenly Lord Cao Bao, Wealth Summoning Envoy Chen Jiugong, Prosperous Market Immortal Officer Yao Shaosi.
After all, Xuantan True Lord Zhao Gongming was his Life Scroll Painting, connected to his destiny.
Naturally, it was best to elevate the prestige as much as possible.
In a word: interests at stake!
“As expected, the higher the prestige, the more effort it takes to conceive and condense?”
Previously, the Ten Great Yin Marshals were condensed all at once into ten, but with the God of Wealth here, only five could be conceived—a pretty big difference.
Additionally, the existence of the Soul Divine Diagram seemed to occupy a portion of mental power.
Or rather, it was an occupation of “soul memory.”
Now with two sets of Divine Diagrams, there wasn’t much mental power left that could be used to condense more Divine Diagrams.
Fortunately, this occupation didn’t affect the daily use of mental power, only the condensation of subsequent Divine Diagrams.
“Try Brother Pillar?”
After patiently waiting for mental power to recover.
He attempted to use the remaining mental power to condense a Soul Divine Diagram from the Autobot Series.
The entire process was obviously much, much easier, and even until the remaining mental power was exhausted, he managed to construct all the main characters from the Autobot camp in one go: Bumblebee, Iron Skin, Jazz, Soundwave, Ambulance, and so on…
Crucially, this set of Divine Diagram didn’t occupy much “soul memory.”
From this, it could be seen that Brother Pillar and the others weren’t very suited for development in this world.
Looking at the Law Network in the 【Autobot】 Divine Diagram, it couldn’t be said to be absent, but it was pitifully scarce.
Fortunately, this set of Scroll Painting was meant for making money anyway.
Moreover, Brother Pillar and the others still had strong dominance in the civilian market.
“It all depends on whether good big brother Tang Beng can get the idea.”
He definitely wouldn’t have time later to improve this set of Divine Diagram; just the myriad gods and Buddhas of Huaxia would be enough to overwhelm him.
If Tang Beng proved capable, he could toss the Divine Diagram to him for slow research later.
After all, the “copyright” belonged to him here, and if Tang Beng could build up this set of Divine Diagram in the future, it wouldn’t harm him at all.
But honestly, building it up would be quite difficult.
The Law Network within the 【Autobot】 Divine Diagram was not only scarce but also very weak; without careful sensing, their existence couldn’t even be detected.
He silently tossed this set of Divine Diagram deep into his sea of consciousness to gather dust, then turned to studying the 【Five Paths of Wealth God】 set, his Destiny Divine Diagram.
In comparison, the Law Network in the God of Wealth’s set of Divine Diagram was far more complex and comprehensive.
No way around it—unlike other mythology systems from his previous life, Huaxia mythological figures were characterized by being “broad-ranging,” or comprehensively developed.
Any deity worth naming had to know a bit about everything, not necessarily expert-level, but a bit of everything.
Just like Second Master Impermanence and his partner, who even carried some “luck in wealth” abilities.
How outrageous was that?
The downside was that cultivating and improving it would cost more, and the progress would be slower.
But the upside was that it was “not picky,” able to absorb just about any materials.
Just like the current 【Divine Diagram · Five Paths of Wealth God】, aside from Mechanical System and eerie system materials, nearly all kinds of spiritual substances within other materials could be scooped up entirely, emphasizing eating clean without waste, green, environmentally friendly, and pollution-free.
The only drawback was that it brought Wu Xian exponentially more pressure from insights.
Two words: headache!
“Huh?”
However, when Wu Xian placed the 【God of Wealth】 Scroll Painting into the Divine Diagram, something strange happened.
The originally pale golden Divine Diagram actually shimmered with a faint bloody glow, presenting a golden-red state.
“Could it be…”
Wu Xian’s heart raced, and he hurriedly pulled out a piece of monster material, attempting to extract and absorb the spiritual substances within.
As expected, the complex spiritual substances inside the material could be directly absorbed by him, integrated into the Soul Divine Diagram in his sea of consciousness, and then absorbed and refined by the golden-red Divine Diagram in a special way.
Waves of profound law sensations emerged in Wu Xian’s mind.
Good grief, fully automatic insights, huh?
“No wonder those big shots on the forum dream of drawing Ancient Scroll Paintings—this is no different from cheating!”
“But no, it seems to consume the God of Wealth’s aura of wealth?”
Even so, it was enough to excite Wu Xian.
Now he had even more motivation to make money.
“Tsk~ Doesn’t this call for a dungeon run to celebrate?”
He excitedly got up, left his new home, and locked the door.
The neighbor next door happened to step out, looking disheveled, in his forties, yet with Level Seven spiritual power fluctuations, stunning Wu Xian repeatedly.
Amid the shock, the other noticed Wu Xian too, giving a slightly surprised nod before striding away.
At that moment, a familiar voice came from behind.
“Huh~, you live here?”
Du Yifan incredulously pointed at Wu Xian’s new home.
Seeing it was Du Yifan, he hurriedly explained: “Rented~ Rented.”
“Being able to rent it is impressive enough,” Du Yifan said with an odd look in his eyes. “I knew it, little brother—you don’t seem like trash at all.”
Wu Xian chuckled vaguely and passed it off, then curiously probed: “By the way, what’s the deal with that senior next door? He seemed a bit strange.”
“Definitely not an ordinary person anyway,” Du Yifan said. “North Street District is full of hidden talents; befriending any one of them is a rare opportunity.”
Wu Xian nodded with a tsk, secretly curious.
If he was a Scroll Painter, maybe there’d be a chance to ask for advice?
“Right, little brother, which round did you make it to?” Du Yifan suddenly asked eagerly.
“What rounds?”
“The Ghost King Club audition?” Du Yifan exclaimed in surprise. “What, you didn’t sign up?”
Wu Xian shook his head.
“Too bad,” Du Yifan said with regret. “Last time I saw you with an Undead System Painted Spirit, I thought you’d definitely sign up.”
Wu Xian smiled without replying.
“You didn’t charge in with us back then, so you don’t know how fierce Xue Lingling’s Ghost King Scroll Painting was,” Du Yifan said excitedly. “To put it bluntly, getting even one Ghost King Scroll Painting is way better than buying a bunch of miscellaneous Undead Scroll Paintings.”
“Is that so?” Wu Xian feigned regret. “That’s really too bad then.”
“No worries, there’ll be chances later— you’re still young anyway.” Du Yifan laughed. “Once I make it big in the club, I’ll recommend you.”
Wu Xian politely thanked him and took his leave.
Gotta say, Xue Lingling’s Ghost King Scroll Painting did have something to it; at this stage, Black and White Impermanence could hardly compete.
On one hand, its rank and level were much higher; on the other, Xue Lingling’s Divine Diagram had clearly been improved to a certain height—total domination from software to hardware.
“Also called Ghost King?” Wu Xian pondered as he walked. “It couldn’t be on the same track as the Ghost King among the Ten Great Yin Marshals, right?”
