Now that cultivation was becoming more and more difficult, Kang Anyu could feel that the heavenly tribulation targeting cultivators would become more and more frequent in the future.
If he could obtain protection and even survive the heavenly tribulation, it would be considered a disguised form of longevity.
As for the heavenly tribulation that had to be dealt with to increase one's cultivation, this was something that every cultivator had to face, even before they became gods.
What he needed to pay was only freedom. Freedom was the least valuable thing to a demon like Kang Anyu who had no background.
Hearing Kang Anyu and the others swear an oath, Yang Jian said happily,"Good! Since you are willing to follow me and remember my name, I am Yang Jian, the Supreme of Purity and Magic, a disciple of the Immortal Yu Ding of the Clan of Enlightenment!
"Now, go and gather your subordinates and ask them if they are willing to follow me. I have said it first. It's entirely up to their wishes. If they are unwilling to follow me, I won't force them!”
"Yes, sir! We will obey your orders!" Kang Anyu and the others left.
Yang Jian was waiting for news from the Six Freaks of Meishan in the cave dwelling, hoping to see how many little demons they could persuade to join him.
The efficiency of the Six Freaks was still very high. Yang Jian only waited for an hour before Kang Anyu returned to report.
"Senior Immortal, the subordinates have been gathered. There are 3,200 small demons who are willing to follow you. Now, Senior Immortal, please go and announce the rules to them.”
Yang Jian did not delay." You lead the way.”
In a moment, Yang Jian arrived in front of the demons.
Yang Jian nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the neat lineup.
Then, he said,"I am the disciple of Immortal Yu Ding of the School of Enlightenment. I am Yang Jian, the Supreme of Qingyuan and Miaodao. Since you are willing to follow me, I will make an agreement with you first to let everyone know what they cannot do under my command."”
Under Kang Anyu's lead, the demons replied in unison,"Please tell me, Supreme!"”
Yang Jian said in a clear voice," One, without my permission, you are not allowed to attack mortals.
2. Do not kill recklessly.
3. Do not violate the rules of Chan School.
Fourth, when there is an expedition, you must abide by military rules.
5. Do not wantonly destroy mountains and rivers.
6. You are not allowed to refine evil things.
7. Do not rebel.
8. You must obey my orders.
If you violate the above eight rules, you will be beheaded without mercy! Can you hold on?"
"We will obey your orders! I will not violate it! If anyone violates it, please kill them!"
Yang Jian nodded in satisfaction and continued," Since you have joined my tent, you should change your names. From now on, you will be called the Meishan Army. Kang Anyu, the six of you will be the Meishan Generals, and each of you will lead 500 cultivators. I have other plans for the remaining two hundred people.”
"We will follow your orders!"
"Alright! I won't say any more. I'll give you all an hour to go back and pack your things. After an hour, follow me to the mouth of the river.”
"Yes, sir!"
.....
On this day, the sky at the mouth of the Guanjiang River was clear for thousands of miles. In the cloudless sky, all kinds of clouds suddenly appeared.
After a while, a group of cultivators appeared in the clouds. They were Yang Jian and his group, as well as Xiao Tianquan, who had been sent to his sister Yang Chan's place.
Yang Jian stood on the cloud and looked at the remaining water in the area around the Guanjiang River. He immediately turned his head to Kang Anyu and said," Wait a moment, I have something to arrange!”
"Yes, sir!"
After Yang Jian finished giving instructions to Kang Anyu, he immediately used a spell to summon a piece of cloth. Using charcoal as ink, he began to write and draw on the cloth.
After a long while, Yang Jian held the cloth and said to Kang Anyu and the others," Look, according to the markings on this map, each of you will be in charge of one area. Wherever there is a river marked, you will have to dig a ditch that is ten feet wide and five feet deep.”
Kang Anyu and the others did not ask for the reason and simply replied,"Yes!" We accept your orders!"
Kang Anyu and the other three brought their men to dig the ditch. Yang Jian naturally had something to do.
The reason why the plain where the Guanjiang River was located suffered from floods was that the flood that entered the plain from the Min River could not be discharged. It was all gathered in the plain and could only wait for the narrow valley mouth to slowly drain.
What Yang Jian wanted to do was to open up and widen a river according to the river path he had chosen on the painting.
Firstly, it was to connect to the ditches that Kang Anyu and the others were about to dig. Secondly, this river was to discharge the water in the plains.
To open up and widen a river, one had to open up a mountain. Kang Anyu and the others naturally could not do it. Only he, who had the Mountain Splitting Axe, could do it.
After Kang Anyu and the others left, Yang Jian turned around and said to the remaining 200 soldiers of Meishan," From now on, you will follow Xiao Tianquan as the palace guards of the True Monarch Palace.”
"We will obey!"
Seeing everyone respond, Yang Jian said,""Xiao Tianquan, arrange for ten people to follow the route I marked and inform the Earth God, Mountain God, and Water God along the way. Tell them to avoid it for the time being so that they won't be accidentally injured by me.”
As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, Xiao Tianquan transformed into a human and replied," Yes, sir! Master!"
Then, Xiao Tianquan pointed out ten people and asked them to inform the earth, mountain, and water gods along the way to avoid them!
After these ten people left, Yang Jian then instructed the remaining soldiers," Follow Xiao Tianquan and follow behind me. I will open up the river in front, and you will be in charge of moving the boulders with spells to fill the low pits on both sides of the river.
If the river I open up is too shallow, you will be responsible for deepening it. The goal is to make the river so that it can accommodate a 5,000-stone ship.”
"We will obey!"
Yang Jian didn't say anything else and brought everyone to the Nine Peaks Mountain. Starting from the source of the river, he opened up and widened the river.
Half a month later, Yang Jian encountered the first obstacle in opening up the river. A narrow valley appeared in front of him.
The valley was long and narrow, and the mountains on both sides were slightly high.
At this point, Yang Jian had no choice but to take out his Mountain Breaker Axe and start the mountain.
"Have the mountain gods, earth gods, and water gods avoided this place?”Yang Jian asked.
The Celestial Hound replied," Master, according to the people who went out to inform us, the Mountain God, Earth God, and Water God have all avoided this place.”
"Good! All of you, step back a little! I want to split open this mountain and widen the river.”
"Yes, sir!"
After a while, seeing that his subordinates were far away, Yang Jian shouted,"”
Yang Jian, who was originally seven feet tall, instantly turned into a giant that was ten thousand feet tall. The Mountain Breaker Axe in Yang Jian's hand also turned into a huge axe.
It wasn't that Yang Jian couldn't continue to grow bigger, but that it wasn't necessary. The mountain in front of him was only a few hundred feet. It was useless to turn into a giant that was ten thousand feet tall. It would only consume his Dharmic powers.
Following that, Yang Jian's giant axe slashed down and he shouted," Open!”
Then, with a loud boom, the mountain collapsed where Yang Jian's giant axe had landed.
After that, Yang Jian did not stop. As he moved forward, the giant axe in his hand kept hacking down. Wherever he passed, the canyon that was originally more than ten feet wide became nearly a thousand feet wide.
Yang Jian split open the valley in front of him. His subordinates were already dumbfounded.
They had never seen such a scene before. During the Battle of Gods Investiture, Yang Jian and Yuan Hong had fought each other, but at most, they had only shattered the mountain rocks.
It was rumored that the Great Yu had expanded a river valley in the past. Only Xiao Tianquan had seen such a scene. Back then, he had seen Yang Jian split open Peach Mountain.
However, they were immediately awakened by the loud sound of Yang Jian splitting open the valley again.
Seeing that a part of the area behind Yang Jian was safe, the soldiers no longer looked around. They went forward and continued their work. They cleared the stones left behind by Yang Jian and cleaned up the river.
