Seeing that the flood control efforts were ineffective, the disciples of the Jie Sect felt ashamed to remain among the human race and left one after another. Yunxiao also pleaded guilty and returned to the mountain to remain in seclusion.
This time, the Jie Sect gave the Chan Sect an opportunity. Randeng finally accepted Shun as his disciple. Shun's surname was Yao. Legend has it that he had double pupils in his eyes and was named "Chonghua". He was fond of the Yu clan, so he was called Yu Shun.
Shun was inherently wise, and with the help of Ran Deng, he quickly gained the attention of Emperor Yao. Emperor Yao recognized Shun's wisdom and virtue and hoped to groom him as his successor, so he married his two daughters to Shun and conducted a long-term observation of him.
Shun did not disappoint Emperor Yao. In the region he governed, the people were simple and honest, and the people prospered. When Emperor Yao grew old, he abdicated the throne to Shun.
After Shun succeeded to the throne, he was also determined to solve the flood problem, but he had no good solutions. Later, he learned that Yu, the son of Gun, was very talented, so he appointed Yu to continue the flood control work and complete his father's work.
Yu was also one of the Five Emperors, but he was different from the previous emperors. In Yu's view, his father Gun's failure to control the floods was entirely due to the mistakes of those cultivators. This also caused Yu to have some hatred towards these cultivators. Therefore, Yu did not become a disciple of the Chan or Jie sects.
After receiving the order, Yu personally investigated the mountains and rivers, devoting himself to the great cause of flood control for ten years. Yu discovered that water flows downhill, and it is better to dredge than to block. To control the flood, he had to open the high mountain dikes formed by the soil of life. However, he was only a mortal after all, so how could he succeed?
Just as Yu was worried, he saw a person flying from the direction where the East Sea and the South Sea met. He was wearing armor and helmet, his silver armor gleaming. He wore a purple-gold nine-palace crown on his head, held a twelve-foot-long three-pointed double-edged halberd, and had an extra eye on his forehead. He was imposing without being angry, yet he also had a strange kind of beauty.
This person is someone everyone knows, even if I don't say it; he is Yang Miaojun, the newly accepted disciple of Liaozhen.
However, Xuan Tian was too cunning. The Kunlun Dao Discussion stated that his disciples would not concern themselves with human affairs for the time being. But according to Xuan Tian, his disciples' disciples were exempt from this rule. So, after Zhen took Yang Miaojun in, Xuan Tian immediately snatched her away from Zhen. He and Yang Miaojun stayed in the Dutian Palace for nearly two hundred years. When they emerged, Yang Miaojun was wearing this same equipment. The three-pointed, double-edged sword was personally forged by Xuan Tian. The materials, as everyone knows, were the bodies of the ten golden crows, the Shoushan copper mace, and other precious materials like star gold. It could unleash true solar fire when attacked, weighing over 25,000 jin. A heavenly tribulation descended on the day it was successfully forged. It was a post-natal spiritual treasure with twenty-eight layers of restrictions, truly extraordinary. Furthermore, her cultivation had also risen to the Heavenly Immortal realm. After Yang Miaojun came out, she didn't go to pay her respects to her real teacher. She left the island without saying a word. She didn't know what Xuantian had asked her to do. She couldn't help but smile bitterly. Whose disciple was she anyway?
Upon seeing the handsome and otherworldly appearance of the newcomer, Yu felt an immediate sense of goodwill. When the man stopped and approached him, Yu asked, "May I ask where this esteemed person is going?" Yang Miaojun replied, "I am Yang Miaojun, a disciple of the Immortal Master Liaozhen of Penglai Island. I have come to offer my assistance after hearing of your efforts to control the floods for the safety of humankind." Upon hearing this, Yu felt a mixture of joy and worry. He was pleased that Yang Miaojun came from a prestigious family, and that Immortal Master Liaozhen was renowned. Although he disliked cultivators, he admired the actions of the disciples of Penglai Island. However, he was worried about whether Yang Miaojun could truly help him control the floods, and feared that he might be just another group of people with high aspirations but low abilities.
Yang Miaojun saw through his thoughts and felt somewhat displeased, thinking that Yu looked down on him. So she said, "Wise man, you may come with me to the place where the flood is controlled, and I will remove the obstacles to the flood control for you." Yu had no choice but to accept this. His face turned slightly red. He bowed slightly and then went with Yang Miaojun to the place where the flood is controlled.
Arriving at the site of the flood, all that could be seen was devastation. When Gun tried to control the flood, he built high dikes to block the water. However, as the water level rose, the Yellow River flowed back in, destroying many of the dikes. As a result, when the Yellow River receded, the water that had flowed back in could not escape and was instead blocked by the dikes, creating the current situation of a swampy landscape.
Eager to show off his skills, Yang Miaojun let out a fierce shout, his body swelled up, transforming into a ten-zhang-tall giant with bulging muscles and an indistinct, indistinct features. He held an axe in his hand, its cold light gleaming. This was the signature skill that Xuan Tian had taught Yang Miaojun. The person he transformed into was no ordinary being; he was none other than Pangu. Xuan Tian knew that Yang Miaojun's cultivation time was too short, and even with the best aptitude, he couldn't achieve a high level of cultivation in such a short time. Therefore, while teaching him the Du Tian Xuan Yuan Gong, he also bestowed upon him a drop of essence blood. With this drop of essence blood from Xuan Tian, Yang Miaojun was able to temporarily transform into the true form of Pangu. However, his cultivation was ultimately not high, and the transformed true form was pitifully weak, but it was still enough to split the dam formed by the Breath Soil.
Yang Miaojun transformed into Pangu, let out a loud shout, and wielded a giant axe, cleaving straight down from top to bottom. At first, it was blocked by the mountain formed from the Breath of Earth. Yang Miaojun's eyes widened in anger, and with a little more force, the mountain was cleaved open as if it were dry and decaying, and the water flowed out smoothly.
Yu was overjoyed. This mountain formed from the Breath of Earth was extremely difficult to remove. The disciples of the Chan and Jie sects had seen it before and all turned back. Unexpectedly, the unassuming Yang Miaojun was able to split it open. It was truly unbelievable.
However, Yang Miaojun's trickery lies in two aspects. First, Xuan Tian taught him the technique of transforming into the true form of Pangu, but this technique cannot last long. With Yang Miaojun's current strength, he can only support it for two minutes. Second, he relies on the weapon in his hand. Do not think that what Yang Miaojun holds is an ordinary object, but rather the rare treasure, the Mountain-Splitting Axe.
Yu completely believed in Yang Miaojun's abilities, so he took her along to control the floods. Along the way, he handed over any remaining demons to Yang Miaojun, who then practiced her skills. The Dutian Xuanyuan Gong, like the Eight-Nine Xuan Gong and the Nine-Turn Xuan Gong, was the best method for close combat. The latter two were adapted from the Dutian Xuanyuan Gong. They were created by Yuanshi and Zhunti after they saw similar techniques from Shi Dian of the Xuantian Sect and were amazed.
