Da Yu Borrows a Treasure, the Golden Cudgel

As he spoke, Shun wrote a letter based on his own destiny, and then took off the sword from his waist.

The moment the sword was drawn, a golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire gloomy court.

"Your subject, Si Wenming, will do everything in his power." His voice was choked with emotion, yet every word was firm and resolute. "If I fail to control the floods, I am willing to die for my cause and be buried in the floodwaters!"

A sudden clap of thunder boomed outside the hall, as if heaven and earth were witnessing this solemn moment.

Shun stepped forward and personally tied the black sash symbolizing his status as an imperial envoy around Da Yu's neck, whispering:

"Remember, what I want is not only the successful control of the floods, but also your safe return."

Da Yu nodded emphatically, turned around, and strode out of the hall.

In the torrential rain, his back stood tall and straight like a pine tree, and the long sword in his hand gleamed.

The assembled officials bowed in unison, offering their blessings to the young man.

Soon, Da Yu gathered countless human warriors.

However, he did not go to control the flood immediately, but instead went to the Heavenly Court alone.

As soon as they approached the South Heaven Gate, they were surrounded by countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

These Heavenly Soldiers and Generals frowned as they looked at Da Yu, and shouted in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to trespass on the Heavenly Court's territory without orders!"

Da Yu dared not be careless, and immediately stopped, bowing respectfully. "Si Wenming of the human race greets all the Heavenly General!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Yu took out Shun's handwritten letter from his bosom.

The moment the silk cloth was unfurled, a phantom of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon soared into the air, its roar causing the glazed tiles of the South Heaven Gate Heavenly Gate to rustle.

The sound pierced through the nine layers of clouds, startling Wu E, who was on duty.

His figure slowly appeared in the void above the South Heaven Gate, looking down at Da Yu the Great below.

He then glanced at the handwritten document in Da Yu's hand, which exuded a strong aura of imperial authority.

Who are you?!

Da Yu's expression suddenly turned serious. After all, who in the Primordial Wilderness didn't know that the guardian of the South Heaven Gate was the junior brother of Tai Wei Shangdi and Han Su Emperor Lord of the Heavenly Court?

He immediately bowed and greeted the Heavenly King: "Si Wenming of the Human Race greets the Heavenly King!"

Upon hearing Wu E's eyes.

But she nodded nonetheless and asked softly, "What brings you here?!"

"Our human race is now facing an unprecedented flood. I wish to control the flood, but I lack a measuring tool. Therefore, I have come to implore the Heavenly Court to lend me such a treasure!"

As he spoke, Da Yu paused for a moment, then added, "And Senior Xuan Turtle, I hope the Heavenly King can also introduce me to him."

"Measuring a treasure?! Introducing the Black Tortoise?" Wu E raised an eyebrow. "Let's put the Black Tortoise aside for now, tell me what kind of measuring instrument you need!"

"Because the Chaos Qi within the flood is dense and heavy, I need a treasure as heavy as a rock, yet capable of extending and retracting at will, reaching the highest heavens and measuring the deepest hells, capable of discerning the finest details."

Upon hearing this, Wu E couldn't help but laugh, "You youngster, you really have a lot of demands!"

Upon hearing this, Da Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Isn't that precisely why he came to the Heavenly Court specifically to borrow the treasure?

It should be understood that with the current strength of the human race, they may not have any Innate Supreme Treasure, but they do have a considerable number of Innate Spiritual Treasure.

But the problem is the devastating floods.

Its scale and power were so immense that ordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure simply could not withstand it.

However, the human race did not possess a treasure that could both withstand the flood and measure its depth, which is why Da Yu came specifically to borrow such a treasure.

However, the next second, Wu E chuckled at Da Yu and said, "But you've come to the right person. This Heavenly King actually has quite a few treasures like these!"

Upon hearing this, Da Yu was overjoyed, and his eyes shone with hope.

He straightened his mud-stained robes and solemnly bowed deeply to the Heavenly King Wu E:

"I beg the Heavenly King to have mercy on the common people and grant me this humble servant's use! I will return it to you in its entirety when the flood control is complete!"

"That's no problem. Leaving aside your Holy Mother, who is one of the Three Venerables of my Heavenly Court, there are also many of your human relatives within my Heavenly Court." The Wu E Heavenly King stroked his beard and smiled, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. "Therefore, I will still help with this favor!"

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, and a burst of spiritual light appeared in his hand. In an instant, the world changed color, and the sea of clouds churned.

Four dazzling golden rays shot out from his palm, like four golden dragons breaking through the sky.

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, four golden beams of light descended heavily before Da Yu, clearing away the clouds and seas stretching for hundreds of millions of miles.

As the golden light gradually dissipated, Da Yu looked closely and couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Four divine pillars stood majestically before Da Yu, each hundreds of millions of miles tall, radiating a terrifying aura that could shake everything.

The first divine pillar was entirely gilded, with a purple-gold band around each end, and nine Five-Clawed Golden Dragon coiled around its body.

Those golden dragons were not sculptures, but real dragon souls transformed, writhing and churning on the pillar.

Wu E gently stroked the divine pillar, and its body immediately emitted a clear, melodious dragon's roar, "This object is called the Ruyi Jingu Bang, also known as the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron. It is Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, weighing 135 billion tons in its normal state. When fully activated, it is enough to crush and annihilate a great thousand worlds. Not only can it support the heavens and the earth, but it can also be hidden in a mustard seed. What's even more wonderful is..."

"This object contains innate spirituality; once it recognizes its owner, it can change shape in countless ways according to one's will."

As he spoke, he flicked his fingertips, Golden Cudgel suddenly transformed into a golden dragon that circled around him.

It exhaled bursts of scorching dragon breath.

(The original Golden Cudgel was too weak, weighing only 13,500 jin. A Hundred-Ton King could only pull a dozen or twenty of them in one trip, and a slightly more powerful Hundred-Ton King could pull fifty or sixty without any problem, so we've strengthened it a bit here.)

Although the second divine pillar was as black as ink, its surface shimmered with the brilliance of the Zhou Tian Star Dou.

Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the entire Milky Way had been refined within it, with each star revolving along a specific trajectory.

The pillar sometimes appears as ethereal as mist, and at other times as solid as iron, possessing unpredictable and ever-changing power!

"This is the Wishful Iron Rod Soldier, also Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. It was forged from the first strand of Primordial Profound Iron at the beginning of Chaos, smelted with the Cosmic Star Essence. Holding it allows one to traverse the void and even manifest all the phenomena of the heavens."

The third divine pillar is entirely black, its surface covered with the unique cloud patterns of the Western Sea's iron.

Those cloud patterns are not inanimate objects, but rather the ever-flowing patterns of ocean waves, from which one can faintly hear the sound of crashing waves against the shore.

It was as if a Fierce Beast lurked within, stirring up countless tides from all corners of the world with each breath.

"This staff is made of Sea Binh Iron Rod, Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, containing the power of the four seas' origin. One strike can calm a storm, a second strike can quell a tsunami, and three strikes will make the four seas submit."

The last divine pillar was shrouded in purple mist, with nine purple-gold Flood Dragon coiling around its body.

A miniature celestial palace floats atop the pillar.

"This beam is truly wondrous!" King Wu E's voice suddenly lowered. "It was forged from a fragment of a mountain range from my master's Dojo. It can span the Milky Way above and connect to the Nine Netherworlds below; even the Chaos waters must submit before it!"

"These four treasures were all personally crafted by my master, each possessing its own unique mysteries!" King Wu E said solemnly. "It's up to you to choose!"

"The Golden Cudgel can measure heaven and earth, the As-You-Will Iron can transform into countless forms, the Bintie Cudgel can suppress water veins, and the Purple Gold Beam can bridge the sea and open up roads!"

Upon hearing this, Da Yu's eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light.

He swallowed hard, stammering, "Um, Your Majesty, could I borrow them all?!"
