Chapter 46: Recasting the Nine Tripods, Great Prosperity of Mankind

  The land of Kyushu is now crisscrossed with rivers everywhere, gradually gathering together, but in front of it are high mountains blocking the way, and it cannot finally flow into the sea.

  Yu gazed at the high mountains ahead, and the map of Mountains and Rivers in his hand showed that this place was a must-pass for the flood to enter the sea. If this mountain is opened up, then humanity will have no more worries!

  Yu said to Huang Long Zhenren: "Thanks for your trouble, immortal elder!"

  The Yellow Dragon True Person's heart was in harmony with the divine, and with a loud roar of dragon chant, he unfolded his dragon body, carrying Yu Teng into the air. Yu stood on the dragon's back, holding the axe that opened mountains, with sparkling light in his eyes. He took a deep breath, raised the axe high with both hands, let out a loud shout, and leaped from the dragon's back, descending through the air. The divine axe in his hand suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light, forcing even the Yellow Dragon True Person and the Four Seas Dragon King to temporarily close their eyes, not daring to look directly!

  A deafening crash shook the sky, and the earth seemed to be shaken. The mountain was cut in two, a large seam opened, and the rolling river water found an outlet, suddenly rushing out of the seam like a dragon and tiger leaping out.

  The Dragon King of the Four Seas, seeing this, did not dare to slack off and hastily cast his spell. In an instant, the water became much softer and flowed out from under the gate in an orderly manner, pouring into the great sea.

  From then on, the flood was over for the human race and the four seas were connected with the inland.

  Huang Long Zhenren's dragon body shook, and he immediately appeared above Yu, steadily catching Yu who was about to fall to the ground, and carrying him down to the earth.

  Yu just came down from the dragon's back, and only heard the Four Seas Dragon King laughing loudly as he arrived at his side, congratulating him: "Congratulations to the Lord for completing the flood control, from now on the human race will have no worries!"

  Yu also revealed a relieved smile, today not only tamed the floodwaters, but also solved the suffering of the human tribe for many years, and can go home to see his wife and three sons who have not been seen for a long time! Thinking that he couldn't see his wife and children for many years, his heart couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, and the thought of going home became even stronger!

  The Yellow Dragon True Person awakened Yu, who was deep in thought of his family, and said to him: "Sir, this place is the last great pass for you to divert the floodwaters. It's extremely significant, so let's give it a name, so that later generations can remember!"

  The Dragon King of the Four Seas also nodded in agreement!

  Yu saw that the five of them all agreed. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Yu has successfully controlled the floodwaters thanks to the blessings of the holy father and mother above, and the assistance of the five sages below. I dare not forget this! Why don't we name this place Longmen? What do you think, esteemed sages?"

  The five of them looked at each other and bowed their heads in unison. "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

  Yu heard the words and hastily shook his head, saying it was no trouble! From then on, every day. Six people worked together in common effort. They diverted all the floodwaters into the East Sea. Yu stood at the edge of the East Sea. Gazing out at the rolling waters flowing into the East Sea. He took out that Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod. And tossed it into the East Sea. The Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod instantly extended to a length of ten thousand zhang. Like a sharp sword, it pierced straight into the center of the East Sea. Suddenly, the East Sea churned and foamed. A hundred zhang high tide rose up. Countless fish and sea creatures were swept up into mid-air. And then heavily fell back down again. Splashing up countless waves!

  The Mountain and River Map suddenly floated out of Yu's body. Instantly broke through space. Appeared in the hands of Nuwa, the Queen of the Palace of the Heavenly Emperor. Yu first bowed to the Thirty-Three Heavens, then turned to Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, saying: "Yu fears that there will be another flood in the future. So he set up the Golden Hoop Rod in the East Sea. Thank you, Dragon King, for guarding it!"

  "Rest assured, sir. This treasure will not be taken from the hands of my dragon clan unless it is by the order of the old master or yourself. No matter if it's a fairy, demon, or ghost, they won't be able to snatch it away!"

  Yu heard the words and said: "In that case, Yu also relieved his heart to report to Your Majesty!" After finishing speaking, he thanked the five people again for their help, bid farewell to the five people, and returned in the opposite direction of the East China Sea.

  The flood was eliminated, and both the Yellow Dragon True Person and the Four Seas Dragon Kings gained merit. The four seas dragon tribe also occupied the inland five lakes and various rivers, and it can be said that everyone was overjoyed! Both sides bid farewell to each other with courtesy and left.

  Yu controlled the flood for many years and finally brought it under control, earning the gratitude of the people. He was respectfully referred to as Da Yu. Everyone competed to spread his achievements in controlling the flood, praising him without end! Emperor Shun saw that Da Yu had won the hearts of the people. Moreover, he had made contributions to the human race and was a kind and virtuous person. Therefore, he kept Da Yu by his side, handling affairs related to the human race together with him every day. All the ministers knew that Emperor Shun was cultivating Da Yu, preparing to abdicate in his favor in the future!

  Emperor Shun was on the throne for thirty-nine years after Emperor Yao's ascension. In this year, while touring the south, he suddenly felt a great shock and fainted when passing through the wilderness of Congyu. The ministers and sons rescued him for three days and nights before he came to, but by then his eyes had lost their luster and his face was pale. Emperor Shun summoned Da Yu, his lips trembling as he spoke: "Da Yu, I know you have always harbored a grudge against me for executing your father Gun. In truth, how could I bear to execute him? But if I hadn't executed Gun, how would I be able to justify myself to the people of the world?"

  Da Yu heard this and wanted to speak but stopped!

  Emperor Shun shook his head, holding Yu's hands and said: "You don't need to say more! I know my time has come, from now on I will entrust the human tribe to you. You must be a good ruler, don't tarnish the reputation of our ancestor Huangdi!"

  Da Yu was already tearful, he choked and said: "Your Majesty can rest assured, I will lead my clan well, and I will not disappoint the Holy Father and Mother and our three emperors!"

  Emperor Shun heard this and said, "In that case, I can die in peace!" After speaking, he smiled and passed away. The officials saw the situation and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, wailing in unison.

  Only to see a nine-clawed divine dragon suddenly flying out from Emperor Shun's body, circling nine times in the air above Cangwu, and then humming as it flew up to the ninth heaven, merging into the boundary of the nine states!

  Da Yu led a group of people to face the direction where the nine-clawed divine dragon disappeared and bowed nine times. Then, he brought Emperor Shun's body back to the capital, announced it to the world, and held a national funeral!

  After Da Yu's great mourning, in accordance with Emperor Shun's will before his death, the ministers elected Da Yu to ascend to the throne.

  After Da Yu became the common lord, he always remembered Shun's entrustment. He was frugal and disliked luxurious styles, so the people loved him; he also pacified the rebellion of the Three Miao in the south, his military achievements were brilliant, and he intimidated the whole world, everyone respected him!

  More than ten years passed, one day, suddenly in the sky above the nine states, there were five nine-clawed golden dragons roaring continuously, echoing through heaven and earth.

  Above the thirty-three heavens, in the Fire Cloud Palace. The Three Emperors were shocked and lost their color! Xuanyuan Huangdi exclaimed: "How can this be? Why did the Kunlun Seal jump out of the Nine States Boundary?"

  Fuxi Holy Emperor hastily took out the Hetu Luoshu, threw it onto his head, and saw a faint starlight scattered down. He closed his eyes, pinched his fingers, and began to calculate. Shennong and Xuan Yuan did not dare disturb him while he was casting his spell, so they could only anxiously wait aside.

  Before long, the River Chart and the Luo Book no longer shone with glory, but fell into Fuxi's arms. Fuxi opened his eyes and said to the two of them: "So that's it! The Kunlun Seal is actually a treasure of the Human Emperor. It should be in the possession of the Human Emperor. If it leaves the Human Emperor, it lacks the aura of the Human Emperor, and its power cannot be displayed. Now, this strange phenomenon is precisely because the Kunlun Seal has been away from us for too long and wants to return to the Huoyun Palace."

  The two of them suddenly realized the truth. Shennong frowned and said, "The Nine States' boundary is missing the Kongtong Seal, which greatly weakens its power. What should we do?"

  Fuxi did not speak. He simply stretched out his hand towards the five divine dragons, bent his fingers and popped them once. A drop of essence blood instantly split into five parts and entered the bodies of the five dragons. The divine dragon and Xuan Yuan also simultaneously activated their magical powers, forcing out a drop of human emperor's essence blood to give to the five divine dragons.

  The Five Dragons obtained the essence of the Human Emperor's blood and stopped roaring, instead returning to the Nine Provinces' boundary once more. The sky above the Nine Provinces restored its former appearance once again.

  Shennong sighed: "Although we have our own blood to help, after all, it only solves the urgent need for the time being, and it is difficult to last long. We must have a strategy!"

  The three emperors fell silent at the same time. After a long while, Fuxi said: "The Holy Father is the one with the highest cultivation among all the saints, and he must have a good plan. Why don't we go ask him for advice?"

  The divine dragon Xuan Yuan is on the same path of great virtue. The Three Sovereigns were about to leave the palace to pay respects to Hongyuan, but heard a burst of giggles coming from outside the palace. The Three Sovereigns paused, and Fuxi smiled: "It seems that this trip is not necessary after all!"

  Shennong Xuan Yuan heard this and simultaneously snapped his fingers once, a smile spreading across his face.

  Only to see the girl jumping and skipping from outside the palace into the inner palace, she saw the three emperors, made a curtsy, then rushed into Shennong's arms. She coquettishly shouted: "Father Emperor, I've been thinking of you so much!"

  The Three Sovereigns burst out laughing. Shennong sighed and said: "You child, you are always restless in your cultivation with the Holy Father, what are you doing here?"

  The girl said with a hint of grievance: "This time, I didn't come on my own accord. I came under the orders of my master!"

  Xuanyuan hastily asked: "I don't know what instructions the Holy Father has?"

  The girl replied: "Teacher has spoken, he already has a good plan!"

  The three emperors looked at each other and let out a sigh of relief. Fu Xi said, "With the Holy Father taking action, we can also rest assured!"

  Shennong and Xuan Yuan nodded in agreement!

  The nine provinces, the city of Ji Zhou. Da Yu gazed up at the vast sky. In his mind, he was still thinking about the strange phenomenon of the five dragons just now, and for some reason, he felt a sense of worry rising in his heart.

  He let out a soft sigh. Da Yu turned around, just about to continue with his official duties, when he suddenly saw someone standing in front of him, holding a purple bamboo staff and gazing up at the sky!

  Yu's heart skipped a beat! Yu came back to his senses, hastily stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the Taoist: "Yu pays homage to the Holy Father, may the Holy Father live forever!" The visitor was indeed Hongyuan.

  Hong Xuan turned around to look at Da Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled slightly. He exerted a gentle force to help him up and asked, "Did you see the strange phenomenon just now?"

  Da Yu did not know why Hong Yuan would ask such a question, so he could only answer honestly: "I saw it with my own eyes, Holy Father!"

  Hong Xuan nodded and said: "This is a sign of the Nine States Boundary being unstable!"

  Da Yu exclaimed, "How can this be?" It's no wonder he was shocked. After all, the Nine States Boundary was established by Xuanyuan Huangdi with the Zhongnan seal, and now hearing that the Nine States Boundary is unstable, it's hard to avoid losing color for a moment.

  Hong Xuan said calmly, "I came here precisely for the Nine States Boundary!" As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his sleeve and suddenly nine figures appeared on the ground. Da Yu looked at them and saw that they were nine strange beasts he had never seen before. He asked in puzzlement, "May I ask, Holy Father, what kind of divine beast are these?"

  Hong Xuan smiled and said: "This is the ninth son of the East Sea Dragon King, namely, , each has divine power, you will know soon!" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand towards the sky and pointed, a clear air transformed into a sharp arrow shooting up to the nine heavens. A layer of golden light flashed and a boundary appeared in the sky above the Nine Provinces. Hong Xuan lightly shouted "收" (receive), and suddenly nine small tripods appeared in his palm, which were exactly the nine tripods set up by Xuanyuan Huangdi before he flew up to heaven.

  Hongyuan said to Da Yu: "You forced out the essence and blood into the nine tripods."

  Yu the Great did not dare to slack off, and hastily exerted his strength to squeeze out nine drops of his own essence blood, which flowed into the Nine Tripods. The Nine Tripods received the essence blood of the Human Emperor, and suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light. Hong Xuan again shouted at the nine sons of the Dragon Clan: "If you do not enter now, when will you?!" The nine sons of the Dragon Clan bowed to Hong Xuan nine times, and one by one entered the Nine Tripods. From the Nine Tripods came wave after wave of roaring beast sounds, with righteous energy surging forth. Hong Xuan again spat out a mouthful of clear air towards the Nine Tripods, which under the encirclement of the clear air spun around in circles nine times, and then jumped out of Hong Xuan's palm, swiftly flying up to the Ninth Heaven, re-entering the boundary of the Nine Provinces!

  Inside the Huoyun Palace, after the Nine Tripod Cauldron returned to the Jiuzhou Seal Boundary, a large seal suddenly appeared in front of the Three Emperors, with five dragons surrounding it, which was exactly the Kongtong Seal.

  Shennong took the Kunlun Seal and said, "With the nine sons of the dragon clan replacing the Kunlun Seal, although it's not as good as before, but it has its advantages in being long-lasting. We can also be worry-free from now on!"

  The other two nodded in agreement at the same time!

  Yu of Xia died after 45 years in power, and the human race finally flourished after experiencing many hardships and the reigns of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. His son Qi established the first dynasty in human history, named Xia. From then on, a new chapter was opened for humanity!

  It is: For billions of years, hardships and difficulties have come, and the virtues of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors have benefited the world.

  The nine sons of the Dragon Clan established their merits, and the great prosperity of the human clan began with Xia!
