Chapter Eighty: The List of Sealed Gods Appears

  Now that Emperor Shun is in power, the biggest problem facing him is the issue of flooding. Since the time of Emperor Yao, floods have been rampant, and the people have been suffering greatly. Shun appointed Da Yu to lead the people in controlling the floodwaters, and after thirteen years of traveling throughout the land, using markers to open up mountains and build dikes where needed, he was able to channel the waters into the sea, finally eliminating the flooding problem. The people were once again able to live in peace, and Da Yu's reputation became unparalleled, almost eclipsing that of Emperor Shun himself.

  After Shun's merits and virtues were complete, he handed over the throne to Yu, who had a very clear understanding of the world after many years of controlling floods. He divided the country into nine states, cast nine tripod cauldrons, suppressed all sides, and the human tribe developed unprecedentedly. After Yu's achievements, he passed on the world to Yi, but Yi did not get the common recognition of the human tribe. In the end, they supported Yu's son Qi to ascend to the throne, and the Xia Dynasty was established, and the human tribe entered a new chapter.

  The era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors has passed, in reality, there is a cooperative yet opposing relationship between the Human Emperor and the Saints. The Saints need the Human Emperor to lead humanity forward rapidly, only when humanity becomes more advanced can the Saints enjoy stronger auspicious signs, at the same time, the Human Emperor receives widespread support from humanity, unconsciously weakening the influence of the Saints and restraining their power. Moreover, the Human Emperor can rely on humanity's auspicious signs and willpower to achieve enlightenment, reaching or even surpassing the Great Luo Realm in less than a hundred years.

  Cultivators in the vast wilderness, which one does not have to go through millions of years of hard work? Only a few can reach the state of Mahāyāna. Even as a disciple of a saint, it is extremely difficult to improve their cultivation. In comparison, becoming a Human Emperor is much easier and faster, so they become thorns in the eyes of saints.

  Of course, the human emperor is determined by the human race, and even saints cannot interfere too much. However, the saints took a relatively clever approach, which was to change the abdication system to a hereditary system. Under the original abdication system, the human emperor would naturally receive widespread recognition from the human race and have extremely strong gas luck. In contrast, under this hereditary system, the recognition of the human emperor naturally decreased a lot.

  All saints will no longer allow the emperors of later generations to follow in the footsteps of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Now, the three ancestors of the human race, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are all restricted within the Huoyun Palace, and the human race is completely controlled by the saints. The influence of the four major sects on the human world has reached its peak.

  Troubles also arose when purifying the ancestral witch's essence and blood. The twelve drops of essence and blood combined into one, unexpectedly awakening a thread of Pangu's innate nature in the blood vessels. The combined essence and blood contained nearly 30% of Pangu's original divine power, causing Ji Yin to temporarily fail in refining it, and had no choice but to put it down for the time being.

  Zhun Ti left the pass before Jie Yin, and as soon as Jie Yin came out, Zhun Ti told him about his plan to rescue Yang Tianyou. Yang Jian is definitely a figure who cannot be ignored in the future, having influence among the younger generation of Xuanmen and in the Heavenly Court. This was a clever move by Zhun Ti, which could potentially drive a wedge between the second- and third-generation disciples of Xuankong Sect, as well as threaten Huang Tian. Zhun Ti's calculations are indeed profound.

  Jie Yin now also feels that he underestimated Zhun Ti's ability. Originally, Zhun Ti had made a lot of efforts for the prosperity of Buddhism and was one of the most outstanding among the saints. Before, it might have been because I didn't give Zhun Ti many opportunities to show off, but now it's just right to let Zhun Ti take care of some things, and I can also be at peace.

  Jie Yin knew that the Xia Dynasty was established, and he also knew that the Shang Dynasty would not be far away. Jie Yin knew even more clearly that the methods used by the Golden Immortals of the Xuan Jiao to deal with Yao Ji would surely provoke the dissatisfaction of Huang Tian, and it is hard to say whether it was Huang Tian or the Golden Immortal of the Xuan Jiao who initiated the great calamity. Moreover, in recent years, the Xuan Jiao has been most eager to spread its teachings among humans, and correspondingly, the causal retribution on the body of the Upper Immortal of the Xuan Jiao is the heaviest. A massacre of gods is imminent!

  Zhun Ti sat opposite Jie Ying, the two saints joined forces to deduce the heavenly mechanism, planning how to recreate the Mystic Gate.

  At this time, Yang Jian had grown into a handsome young man, inheriting his parents' excellent genes. He was tall and slender, with a refined face and a third eye on his forehead that added an air of majesty and mystery. In recent years, Yang Jian's appearance had changed greatly, and his cultivation had advanced rapidly. His Eight-Nine Mystical Skills had almost reached the fourth level, and Yu Ding was very satisfied with this disciple.

  Yu Dingzhen found Yun Zhongzi, using the collected essence of gold to refine a three-pointed two-bladed divine sword for Yang Jiaolong. He also handed over a strange beast, the Xiao Tian Quan, which he had tamed since childhood, to Yang Jiaolong. Yu Ding also told Yang Jiaolong about his family situation. When he heard that his birth mother was imprisoned by the Jade Emperor in Taoshan, and his father and siblings were all killed by the Jade Emperor, only he was rescued by his master, Yang Jiaolong gritted his teeth in anger, vowing to rescue his mother and make the Jade Emperor pay the price.

  If Maitreya were here, he would definitely be very impressed with Yu Ding Zhen Ren. What he said was almost true, but just slightly adjusted in terms of time. Yu Ding had the ability and time to save Yang Tianyou, but instead, he took Yang Jiaolong away prematurely and let Yang Tianyou die at the hands of the heavenly soldiers. His heart is not entirely innocent.

  However, this is also the most favorable choice for Yu Ding. With a vendetta against his father, Yang Jian can never turn to the side of Yu Huang, and there will never be a possibility of reconciliation between uncle and nephew. Yang Jian can only sacrifice himself for the sake of the sect. However, things may change now that Yang Tianyou is on Mount Sumeru. Yang Tianyou was arranged by Maitreya to be among the outer disciples, and the Queen Mother of the West arranged for her disciples to teach them how to cultivate.

  Yu Ding Zhen Ren invited Guang Cheng Zi to Huo Yun Gong to borrow the mountain-opening axe from Da Yu. This axe was used by Da Yu when he controlled the flood, to dredge rivers and open up mountains, and it had been imbued with the merit of his good deeds in controlling the flood, becoming a powerful magical treasure that could subdue all the mountains in the world. As Guang Cheng Zi was the master of Xuan Yuan Huang Di, borrowing this treasure was an easy matter for him.

  They also knew that they would offend Huang Tian, but the Huoyun Palace was not a place that Huang Tian could control. Moreover, Guang Chengzi had the original saint behind him, which was something that couldn't be offended.

  Yang Jian brought the axe to Peach Mountain, ready to split it open and rescue Yao Ji. How could Huang Tian not notice from Heaven? He also knew that Xuan Jiao's people had rescued his nephew and raised him as an adult just to let his nephew hit him in the face. A surge of hatred boiled over in Huang Tian, who thought Xuan Jiao was too deceitful. He wanted to rush down from Heaven immediately, kill Yang Jian, and even the Golden Immortal of Xuan Jiao, to vent his anger. However, Yao Chi tightly held him back.

  Haotian knew that if he dared to stop Yang Jian from saving his mother, the people of the Heavenly Court would jump out and say that he was bullying the weak with his power. In the Heavenly Court, he would be isolated and alone, without anyone to use, how could he contend with the twelve golden immortals who were as fierce as wolves? Not to mention losing face, at that time, he might not even have any prestige left.

  Haotian chose to remain silent about Yang Jian's actions of saving his mother. Before Taoshan, Yang Jian wielded the mountain-opening axe, pushing his Xuan Gong to its limits, and with nine consecutive chops, he successfully broke through Haotian's seal on Taoshan and rescued Yaoji. The mother and son were reunited, embracing each other in tears. As for Yu Ding Zhenren and Guang Chengzi, they saw that Haotian had no reaction, and were overjoyed to see him humiliated, thinking they had achieved a great victory.

  Who would have thought that at this very moment, Haotian went straight to the Chaos and rushed to the front of the Purple Palace to report.
