At the end of March, mountain torrents broke out in the six states of Nanzhao, and the waters flooded the rivers. A four-eared water monkey appeared in the world. It was about ten feet tall, with a body covered with azure fish scales. It was good at controlling the torrents, like controlling two dragons.
In April, the court issued a series of golden orders, mobilizing the elite forces of Wan Zi Qian Hong Valley, Long Shu Xue Jie Sect, Tian Shui Luo Lian Pavilion, and the three major sects, as well as more than 20 major sects in the surrounding states and counties to fight against the water ape.
At the end of the month, the water ape was killed, its bones were extracted and made into twenty-four water-suppressing spiritual pillars to suppress the violent water dragon veins, and the mountain torrents were finally stopped.
In the fifth month, at dusk, a dark energy erupted from the mountains, dark clouds covered the sky, and the land of the three continents was shrouded in its shadow. That night, a star fell from the sky, the aurora borealis descended, and winds blew across the four seas, dispersing the dark clouds from the sky.
Mid-month, Lian Ningzi, the head of the Zhaoye Palace of the Burning Sun and Huangyu Sect, came to the capital to plead guilty. Because the situation had not yet subsided, the emperor pardoned his major offense, but only imposed a minor punishment. Zhaoye Palace was closed to the public for ten years and fined 10,000 gold coins to provide comfort to the victims. In addition, one hundred of its inner disciples were recruited to enter the South China Sea to reclaim deserted islands and patrol and escort ships. The Huangyu Sect, for its disciples' meritorious service, offered additional rewards to be determined.
In June, the Hanshan Yanxing Sect, together with disciples from thirty-seven major sects, sailed to the North Sea on fifty-four giant floating mountain boats, killing more than one hundred and thirty black ice sea dragons and opening up the shipping route.
In July, the Ice Elf Kingdom sent an envoy fleet across the sea to the south, and it was said that a duke's heir was among them.
In August, the dragon veins of the Seven Continents of Lei were shaken. After ten days of heavy rain, there was scorching sun for more than thirty days, causing the water to evaporate and the lakes to dry up. Later, the Red Immortal Sect used secret techniques to summon heavy rain to moisten the cracked earth. For a moment, rainbow clouds filled the air and a paradise appeared in the sky.
In September, the Red Immortal Sect won this blessed land, and because of its contribution to rain-making, the dynasty approved its application and gave this blessed land to the Red Immortal Sect, and considered restoring its name as the sect.
In October, in the mountains of the Yellow Sea, the birds returned for patrol. About two hundred and thirty-two seventh-order flying birds returned to this place to worship the remaining Fire Tong tree and pay tribute to the Seven Phoenix Yingtian True Flame Palace Lord. While the thousands of birds were patrolling the sky, there were three eighth-order exotic birds leading the way, namely the Five Crowns·Kuang Lan, which was in the Dragon Sequence 8, the Nine Phoenix·Ghost Cart, which was in the Undead Sequence 8, and the Green Spin·Cloud Harrier, which was in the Nature Sequence 8.
In the winter, snow fell across the continents. Beyond the Beifu Mountains, the snow reached three feet across the five continents. The famished beasts migrated southward. The Beifu Army, under orders, intercepted and killed them. Blood stained the land for thousands of miles, leaving the ground covered in crimson frost. A visiting envoy reported to the court that the action was excessive, suggesting compassion and a minimum of violence. The emperor remained silent.
In the first month of spring, the King of Huainan presented a green branch with seven-colored fruits as a sign of the coming of spring. The Emperor was pleased and gave him a hundred pieces of silk made of phoenix feathers, and promised to use the silk to propose marriage to the King of Dongshan.
In February, Prince Huainan was betrothed to a daughter of the Dongshan Wang family. This woman was the granddaughter of Wang Yumei, one of the three elders of the imperial court. As a result, the Dongshan families all turned to support Prince Huainan, and they competed with the current Prince Dai for the throne of Crown Prince.
In April, the head of the Spring Officials reported that the late emperor's bloodline had been lost. The emperor, sympathetic, inquired about the matter. Later, the Spring Officials restored the deceased's history, revealing that he was a descendant of King You, stranded in the Western Continent offshore, but his descendants had now returned. However, his only remaining descendant was a daughter, named Lan, who later became a disciple of Xiangyu.
The emperor was very pleased to hear this, so he restored her surname and changed her name to Luolan, summoned her to the capital, and wanted to make her a princess of the dynasty.
