One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 960 Sculpting Mountains from Clay, Creating Lakes from Water

The basket Yang Jian was carrying was teeming with life, with every detail clearly visible—it was a real mountain forest.

Yang Jian moved house completely, not only like an ordinary person, but also taking all his belongings, all his brothers and family members who were willing to go with him.

Yang Jian took the entire Guanjiang Estuary and his own Zhenjun Temple with him.

Not only that, but even the majestic Meishan Mountain, with its snow-capped peaks, was taken away with it.

When Yang Jian moved, he even took his own mansion with him!
Yang Jian used his three-pointed double-edged sword as a carrying pole, hung the bamboo basket containing Meishan and Guanjiangkou at the end of his spear, and strode towards the cave entrance outside the cliff of Mount Hua.

They created ripples in the air with their steps, as if walking on water, and soon their figures disappeared without a trace.

They seemed to leave in a bit of a hurry.

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms, her skirt swaying gently, stood up gracefully without moving her hair ornaments. But for some reason, she gave the impression of a sparrow hopping around in an open space, its joyful mood easily visible.

"It's been a long time since I've seen my second brother so relaxed and at ease."

Gone are the cold, indifferent Heavenly Court, the greedy and selfish gods, and the oppressive atmosphere of rule.

Most importantly, the environment that Yang Jian found unacceptable but was powerless to change was gone.

Yang Jian no longer needs to hide all his dissatisfaction and emotions in his heart, and play the role of the cold-hearted and ruthless judicial god who killed his old friend.

Having arrived in a more equitable, vibrant, and freer world, Yang Jian was actually very happy.

The Holy Mother Yang Chan was also pleased to see Yang Jian's emotions so readily apparent, which showed that he was relaxed at the moment.

After secretly enjoying herself behind Yang Jian's back for a while, the Holy Mother Yang Chan also took out a flower basket, which contained rainbow-like light.

When the Third Holy Mother entered the cave, she saw that Yang Jian had already used the Law of Heaven and Earth to transform into a giant ten thousand feet tall. He carefully took the Guanjiang Estuary out of the bamboo basket, found a pleasing spot, and carefully placed the Guanjiang Estuary there.

The five elements of energy floating in the cave settled at the mouth of the Guanjiang River and immediately entered the mouth of the Guanjiang River like swallows returning to their nests.

The floating power of the five elements, falling into the mountains and forests, turned into a shimmering blue-green glow, like a swarm of fireflies rushing into the grass.

Another portion quietly fell onto the Guanjiang River, condensing and forming a misty, icy fog that enveloped the river and slowly blended with it.

Guanjiang Estuary has become connected to this newly opened cave, with the earth's veins linked, the water veins connected, and the feng shui in harmony, truly taking root in the cave and becoming an inseparable part of it.

Then, Yang Jian followed the same method and placed Meishan in the cave as well.

Meishan Mountain rises thousands of feet high, the highest point of the cave heaven. The golden sun shines on the snow-capped peaks, dyeing them gold and creating a magnificent scene of a golden-topped snow mountain.

A cold wind and swirling frost appeared in the sky above the cave, forming a frosty white curtain that drifted from north to south, bringing a touch of coolness to the cave.

Perhaps out of habit, Yang Jian placed Meishan in the north, creating a desolate northern peak within the grotto-heaven, contrasting with the watery southern mountains.

Seeing Yang Jian's actions, the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan not only did not applaud her second brother, but instead curled her lips, carried the flower basket, and sat down at the eastern end of the Guanjiang River, immersing the flower basket in the water.

Her slender fingers, as beautiful as jade, were dipped into the Guanjiang River. Then, her entire jade-like white hand sank into the cool Guanjiang River, scooped up a handful of water, and sprinkled it into the flower basket.

With this scoop, the water level of the Guanjiang River dropped by more than a foot. Even Yang Jian couldn't help but turn his head and look helplessly at his little sister. Yang Jian took out a jade bottle. This was not the one in Guanyin Bodhisattva's hand. It could not produce the Three Lights Divine Water, but it could combine the spiritual energy in the air and condense the water of rivers in the bottle.

Originally, Yang Jian planned to wait until all the turmoil in the cave heaven had ended before settling these sources of the five elements. However, because his younger sister was trying to undermine him, he had to settle them ahead of schedule.

What can I do? This is my own younger sister.

We have no choice but to spoil them.

Yang Jian threw out the Jade Bottle with its overflowing river water, which landed at the lowest point of the cave with the flow of water.

The water level of the Guanjiang River immediately rose back up.

As she stirred the rainbow light in the flower basket with the water from the Guanjiang River, the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan muttered, "Second Brother is such a rough man. He only knows how to save trouble. He just put Guanjiang Estuary and Meishan in the cave like this, which is incongruous."

As she spoke, the Third Holy Mother stirred the flower basket with even more enthusiasm, her tone rising a few decibels, and her voice revealing a hint of eagerness:

"You should design your own home from scratch!"

After the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan sensed that the rainbow light in the flower basket had completely merged with the water of the Guanjiang River, turning into a colorful, muddy, unidentified object, she realized that the rainbow light in the flower basket had completely merged with the water of the Guanjiang River.

The Third Holy Mother Yang Chan rolled up her sleeves, and the ribbons of her celestial robes magically tied them together, revealing her two jade-like arms without any flaws. The originally heavy palace attire became neat and tidy.

"I don't want to end up like my second brother. Of course, I want to build my own house according to my own ideas."

Snapped!
The colorful clump of silt was slapped onto the western part of the Guanjiang Estuary by the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan, at what was once the estuary.
The silt retains the slightly trembling, shape-changing characteristics of clay, yet it rapidly expands after landing, becoming comparable to a large island.

The colorful mud that the Holy Mother threw into the water was no ordinary treasure. It was the famous Xirang, a treasure that Gun, the father of Yu the Great, stole from the Heavenly Emperor's treasury to block the great flood.

The commentary on the Classic of Mountains and Seas states: "The name 'Xirang' refers to soil that grows infinitely on its own, thus it can stop floods."

In layman's terms, "breathable soil" is a type of soil that can grow indefinitely. So, just a handful of it can turn into a dam in the water, preventing floods from invading.

Although the amount of the Breath of Earth in the hands of the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan was small, it was enough to expand in the water into a giant island the size of Penglai.

The island is still a mass of silt and has not yet solidified.

The Third Holy Mother Yang Chan had already rolled up her sleeves, and with her slender hands, she drew various shapes on the Xirang Island. Every now and then, she would hold up her fingers in front of her eyes, calculating the scale, or draw a frame with her fingers to see if it looked good from this angle.

The mountain range, including the Longshan Mountains, features various peaks, vast plains, and hills with carefully considered locations. A huge bowl-shaped terrain has also been carved out of the mountaintop.

Even though the entire island was still barren under the influence of the Three Holy Mothers, Xirang Island gradually revealed its exquisite and beautiful scenery.

In the hands of the Three Holy Mothers, Xirang Island was like a bonsai in the hands of mortals, with every detail and every fallen leaf meticulously designed.

Once the island's basic shape was complete, the Third Holy Mother Yang Chanxia waved her hand and summoned the Water Eye Jade Bottle from the bottom of the cave.

It was placed in the bowl-shaped sinkhole at the highest point of Xirang Island.

The river water immediately filled the sinkhole, which was a hundred feet wide. The lake water in the sinkhole reflected the sunlight, becoming a sparkling gem that the Holy Mother Yang Chan had set on the mountain peak.
