Once upon a time, there lived in the heavenly palace a goddess named Yao Ji, who was the twenty-third daughter of the Queen Mother of the West. She could not endure the quiet life in the heavenly palace so she left the the palace to speed across the sky. When she came to the mist-enveloped Wushan Mountains, she saw twelve dragons causing trouble to the people and she then decided to eliminate the evils.
She killed all the dragons and in order to protect the people there, she turned into a peak. She stood on top of Wushan pointing the way for the passing ships, driving away wild animals, spreading drifting rain for the people. She was admired as Wushan Goddess and the peak was called Goddess Peak.
