With his exceptional talent, Erlang God Yang Jian quickly stood out in East Barbarian City, receiving concentrated training from the sect. His cultivation strength rapidly soared. By the time Pangu and Sun Wukong parted ways and returned to East Barbarian City, Erlang God Yang Jian's cultivation had already advanced to the Yuan King Realm, not slower at all compared to Sun Wukong's initial advancement to the Yuan Realm!
Being fellow ascenders from the Three Realms and both acquaintances of Sun Wukong, Erlang God Yang Jian and Pangu quickly became familiar with each other.
Highly regarding the legendary senior Pangu, Erlang God Yang Jian had longed to befriend him. Pangu, too, was greatly impressed by Erlang God Yang Jian's talent—besides Sun Wukong, Yang Jian's aptitude was the finest Pangu had encountered over the years—surpassing even many elites in East Barbarian City.
