I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Nangong Wan turned back to look at the mountain gate of the Northern Mountain Divine Palace, her expression turning melancholy and sorrowful.

If she can't borrow the Beichen Ferry Boat, what other way can she cross the vast boundary sky to find Wei Junzi?
Just as Nangong Wan withdrew her gaze, she suddenly noticed a very strange mountain peak among the peaks on the northwest side of Mount Heng.

And the moment she saw that mountain peak, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Nangong Wan first withdrew her gaze, then looked back at the mountain peak. Sure enough, it seemed as if something was drawing her there; the feeling was very strange.

Then Nangong Wan turned back to the divine generals guarding the mountain gate and asked, "May I ask you two divine lords, what kind of place is that over there?"

The two generals glanced in the direction Nangong Wan pointed, and then casually said, "That's Kongdang Mountain."

These words struck Nangong Wan like a thunderclap: Kongdang Mountain! The Beichen Crossing Ship is right there, and the Taichen Demon Lord is suppressing it below.

The words "Kongdang Mountain" kept echoing in Nangong Wan's mind. As if bewitched, she descended Hengshan Mountain in a daze.

Upon reaching the foot of Mount Heng, a cool breeze from a mountain stream blew by, instantly waking Nangong Wan.

Nangong Wan jolted awake and immediately looked towards the northwest of Hengshan Mountain.

After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Wan gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and once again stepped into Hengshan.

However, this time she was not going up the mountain, but instead traversing mountains and valleys, heading towards Kongdang Mountain in the northwest of Hengshan.

When Nangong Wan climbed Kongdang Mountain and reached the summit, she immediately saw the Beichen Ferry Boat, which flattened the entire mountaintop and occupied most of it.

The Beichen Ferry Boat was bronze in color, and its hull was engraved with densely packed celestial talismans and seal script.

Above the Beichen Ferry Boat are seven sundials of varying heights and sizes, covered with the constellation of the Big Dipper, radiating brilliant starlight.

Nangong Wan hurriedly strode towards the Beichen Ferry, but just as she was about to step into the suppression range of the Beichen Ferry, a divine talisman suddenly appeared before her.

As soon as the divine talisman appeared, divine lightning descended instantly, striking Nangong Wan with a deafening roar.

Nangong Wan screamed in agony as she was instantly sent flying, her body billowing smoke and her skin charred and mangled.

The next moment, a golden-armored deity emerged from the talisman and pointed at Nangong Wan on the ground, saying, "I am the Thunder General of the Thunder Department, here to guard the Demon-Suppressing Seal by order of the True Martial Emperor. What kind of demon are you? How dare you trespass? Leave at once to avoid suffering."

Nangong Wan quickly got up, and without saying a word, she raised both palms and struck at the Demon-Subduing General.

Upon seeing this, the Demon-Subduing General snorted coldly and immediately formed a hand seal, causing thunderclouds to gather above his head in an instant.

Then, lightning flashed, and dozens of bolts of lightning, like long snakes, struck down on Nangong Wan, knocking her to the ground on the spot.

Nangong Wan vomited a mouthful of blood, her face turned deathly pale, and her vital energy was extremely weak.

The Demon-Subduing General glanced at her and said indifferently, "I am ordered to guard this place and do not wish to kill any more living beings. You should leave quickly."

Nangong Wan raised her head with difficulty, looked at the Demon Subduer General, and suddenly caught sight of the divine talisman hanging in the air behind him.

With a thought, Nangong Wan immediately slammed her hand on the ground with all her might, leaped into the air, and spat out a mouthful of blood, which landed right on the divine talisman.

The Demon-Subduing General's expression changed drastically. The divine talisman, tainted by blood, instantly lost its divine power and slowly fell to the ground.

The Demon-Subduing General's figure dissipated, transforming into a beam of light in the blink of an eye and disappearing without a trace.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, the Thunder Department, and the Heavenly Thunder Palace.

General Fumo Tianlei suddenly woke up, shouted "Oh no!", and then got up and rushed out of Tianlei Palace, heading straight for Xuantian Palace.

Upon arriving at Xuantian Palace, General Fumo told the guarding official, "Quickly inform Xuantian Shangdi that the Thunder General Divine Talisman guarding the seal of Taichen Demon Lord has been broken."

These divine talismans represent the heavenly generals themselves. Wherever this talisman appears, the heavenly general or thunder general it represents can manifest from the talisman at any time.

However, once the divine talisman is destroyed, the divine power that maintains its manifestation will dissipate, and the heavenly generals and thunder generals will return to their original locations.

Upon hearing General Fumo's words, the guard on duty hurriedly went inside to inform Emperor Zhenwu.

Soon after, the decree of the True Martial Emperor came down. To the surprise of the Demon Subduer General, the True Martial Emperor did not reprimand him for his lax supervision, nor did he punish him. Instead, he rewarded him for his merits in guarding the seal over the years.

General Fumo accepted the reward with a puzzled look, then asked, "Did His Majesty mention the seal?"

The boy in charge of delivering the imperial edict smiled and said, "His Majesty said that the calamities of the mortal world are predetermined. You have guarded the seal for so many years and have made great contributions. The Thunder Department has been ordered to record your merits and grant you a month's leave. Go back and rest well for a few days."

Upon hearing this, General Fumo had no choice but to bow and acknowledge the order before leaving Xuantian Palace and returning to the Thunder Department.

Meanwhile, in the lower realm of Beiju Luzhou, the Northern Peak Divine Palace had already discovered the strange phenomenon at Kongdang Mountain, and the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak hurriedly dispatched Taiheng Jun to lead divine generals to investigate.

When Taihengjun arrived, he saw Nangong Wan dragging her charred and broken body to the altar where the Beichen Ferry Boat was suppressing the gods.

Lord Taiheng was greatly surprised. This place was guarded by the Thunder God General, so how could this person have entered the center of the seal?

Just then, the divine general beside him reminded him, "My lord, look over there."

Taihengjun turned his head and saw a bloodstained talisman lying quietly on the ground, its divine light gone, now just an ordinary object.

Taihengjun immediately understood what was going on and drew his sword, shouting, "Witch, do not approach the altar! Quickly retreat!"

But Nangong Wan ignored her and even leaped onto the Beichen Ferry.

Upon seeing this, Lord Taiheng shouted again, "Witch, I order you to step down immediately, or the law will not tolerate you!"

Nangong Wan fiddled with the Beichen Ferry for a long time, only to find that she couldn't activate the divine vessel.

At this moment, Lord Taiheng had already led his men to surround them. Upon seeing this, Nangong Wan immediately jumped off the boat, came to the bottom of the Beichen Ferry Boat, and lifted it up with both hands supporting the bottom of the Beichen Ferry Boat.

With a muffled thud, the Beichen Crossing Ship moved slightly. Although it was not very obvious, Nangong Wan understood that the Beichen Crossing Ship seemed to have a downward force.

At this moment, Taiheng Jun and the others rushed over. Seeing this, Nangong Wan no longer hesitated. She roared and used all her strength to lift the Beichen Ferry Boat.

'Boom'

In an instant, Kongdang Mountain began to shake violently, and in a moment, the mountain collapsed and rocks split, with sand and stones flying everywhere.

"Stop her!" Taihengjun shouted in alarm. "Charge forward and kill her!"

Taiheng Jun led a group of divine generals forward and, without saying a word, began to hurl spears, stab with swords, slash with knives and axes at Nangong Wan.

However, as the chieftain of the Nangong tribe, Nangong Wan's physical strength was naturally not to be underestimated. After Taiheng Jun and the others had been hacking at her for a long time, they could only leave dozens of shallow wounds on Nangong Wan's body.

But this only fueled Nangong Wan's temper. A red light shone around her, a sign that her strength had been pushed to its limit.

'Rumble'

The Beichen Ferry Boat was lifted two inches by Nangong Wan, but it was only those two inches that caused Nangong Wan to bleed from all seven orifices.

Just when it seemed impossible to hold on any longer, a gray-white demonic light suddenly shot out from beneath the Beichen Ferry.

As the demonic light surged forth like a tide, it immediately lifted the entire Beichen Crossing Ship.

Then, a loud explosion came from Kongdang Mountain, and the Beichen Crossing Ship was lifted into the air by the demonic light. Then, the huge Kongdang Mountain collapsed with a crash, and Taiheng Jun and the others hurriedly flew out of Kongdang Mountain.

Nangong Wan looked at the Beichen Ferry Boat flying into the air and was about to jump on it when the mountain collapsed, causing her to lose her footing and fall instantly.

Just as she was falling, a beam of demonic light landed on her, then gently swept her aboard the Northern Star Crossing Ship.

Nangong Wan only saw a man in white robes come into view. His hair was tied up with a hairpin, and a silk sash was tied around his waist. He had bright eyes and a handsome face, and his brows were full of aloofness. Nangong Wan was lying on the deck, extremely weak, but when she saw the man in front of her, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Are you the Demon Lord Taichen?"

The Demon Lord Taichen glanced at Nangong Wan and said, "Since you came to save me, don't you know who I am?"

Nangong Wan said, "I'm not here to save you. I just want to take this divine ship so that it can take me through the void to find the one I love."

"Tsk tsk tsk." Demon Lord Taichen shook his head and said, "Another one troubled by love. Which realm is your sweetheart from?"

"I don't know," Nangong Wan said, shaking her head.

The Demon Lord Taichen raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't know? Are you joking? Within the Three Realms, the Ten Directions Universe, and all the myriad worlds, if you don't know which realm he is in, how long will it take you to find him? I'm afraid you'll search until the world is destroyed and still not find him."

At this point, Demon Lord Taichen looked at Nangong Wan and said, "Although you didn't come here specifically to save me, you did help me escape this calamity. How about this, don't go looking for your sweetheart anymore. Follow me, and I'll guarantee you'll become an immortal ancestor. What do you say?"

Nangong Wan insisted, "Now that the Demon Lord has escaped, please give me the Beichen Crossing Boat so that I can go find him. No matter how long it takes, I will find him."

“A waste.” Demon Lord Taichen said indifferently, “I have a great use for this Beichen Crossing Ship, and I cannot entrust it to you to do something that wastes your time.”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan sat up abruptly and said, "I did save you from your predicament, don't you even want to help me with this small favor?"

The Demon Lord Taichen said, "There are many important things waiting for us to do in this world. How can we waste our time on such meaningless things?"

At this point, Demon Lord Taichen pointed at Nangong Wan, and a beam of spiritual light fell on her, instantly healing all her injuries.

“You helped me escape, and I will heal your wounds. That evens things out. You can leave now,” said Demon Lord Taichen.

Nangong Wan's injuries had healed completely, and her appearance had fully recovered. However, it was impossible for her to give up the Beichen Crossing Ship. Therefore, she leaped forward and rushed directly towards the Demon Lord Taichen, gathering her strength in both palms to strike his head.

The Demon Lord Taichen sneered and grabbed Nangong Wan by the neck. Nangong Wan struck the Demon Lord Taichen with her palms, but only raised a cloud of dust.

Seeing Nangong Wan struggling and blushing, the Demon Lord Taichen suddenly laughed and said, "You do have some beauty. How about this, to repay your kindness in helping me escape, I will take you as my wife. You don't need to look for your sweetheart anymore."

Nangong Wan's expression changed drastically, and she began to struggle even more fiercely, shouting loudly, "Let me go! You're not like him!"

"What's the difference?" Demon Lord Taichen laughed, "What he can do, I can do too. There's no difference."

After saying that, Demon Lord Taichen pressed Nangong Wan onto the deck, immediately pinning her down. Then, with a wave of his hand, a demonic light barrier instantly formed around the Beichen Ferry.

Then, the Demon Lord Taichen pounced on Nangong Wan, pinched her cheeks, and said, "I'll show you now whether I'm the same as him."

Nangong Wan's desperate screams echoed from the Beichen Ferry. Taiheng Jun, who had just arrived with his men to check the situation, immediately stopped the assembled gods and generals, saying, "That's Taichen Demon Lord! He's escaped!"

After saying that, Lord Taiheng saw what Lord Taichen was doing to Nangong Wan and immediately ordered, "Everyone step back, do not disturb them, and do not ruin their good time."

The group retreated to a distance, their faces crestfallen, constantly glancing at the deck of the Beichen Ferry.

Taiheng Jun, however, was quite composed. Seeing that the gods were in a state of confusion, he immediately said, "With Taichen Demon Lord freed from his predicament, Beiju Luzhou will face another calamity. We should immediately return to report this matter to His Majesty."

The gods responded in a disorderly manner, and then followed Taiheng Jun away from there, flying back to the Northern Mountain Divine Palace.

Beiyue Divine Mansion, inside the Antian Hall.

When the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak received the report from Lord Taiheng that Lord Taichen had escaped, he sighed, "What a calamity."

Minister Zhao Chongguo said, "The Demon Lord Taichen has broken free and will surely wreak havoc on the human world. We must immediately devise a plan to deal with him."

The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak nodded, and then inquired about the specific reasons why the Demon Lord Tai Chen had escaped from his confinement.

The Demon Lord Taichen reported the truth, and after listening, the Great Emperor of Beiyue couldn't help but sigh again, "It was her? The speaker didn't mean anything by it, but the listener took it to heart. She must have heard me say that the Beichen Crossing Ship was in Kongdang Mountain, so she went there. I didn't expect her to be so audacious."

“Those who have been troubled by love throughout history are all short-sighted and brainless, impulsive and reckless, and cannot possibly predict what they will do. Your Majesty need not blame yourself,” Zhao Chongguo quickly said.

The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak nodded slightly, then asked Lord Taiheng, "It has been a long time since Lord Taichen was freed, why is there still no sign of him? What is he doing?"

The expressions of Taiheng Jun and the gods immediately became interesting. The Great Emperor of Beiyue was surprised to see their expressions and said, "Tell me quickly."

Taihengjun immediately said, "That Taichen Demon Lord is having sex with that woman."

"Huh?" Emperor Beiyue and Zhao Chongguo were completely stunned. They couldn't have imagined that after escaping, Demon Lord Taichen would do such a thing first.

“As expected of a demon,” Zhao Chongguo said. “He does nothing human.”

Lord Taiheng said, "Wasn't that woman going to save Lord Taichen? She must have been one of his wives or concubines."

“No,” Zhao Chongguo said. “That woman came to His Majesty earlier to ask for the Beichen Ferry Boat, wanting to go to another minor world to find her beloved whom she had parted ways with. His Majesty told him that the Beichen Ferry Boat was being suppressed by a demon in Kongdang Mountain, so he could not lend it to her. However, she unexpectedly found out where Kongdang Mountain was and went there to steal the Beichen Ferry Boat, but she accidentally released the Taichen Demon Lord.”

After hearing this, Lord Taiheng and the others exchanged bewildered glances. After a moment, Lord Taiheng stroked his chin and said, "Isn't this a case of reaping what you sow?"

"Yes." The Great Emperor of the Northern Mountain said calmly, "Being troubled by love and unable to distinguish between what is important and what is not is truly a self-inflicted disaster, and one cannot escape it."

After saying this, the Great Emperor of the Northern Peak said to Lord Taiheng, "You shall immediately go to the Heavenly Sound Sacred Realm and invite the Buddha Amoghasiddhi to the Northern Peak to discuss the matter of subduing the demons together."

Lord Taiheng's expression turned solemn, and he immediately bowed and replied, "As you command."

As Taihengjun and his generals hurriedly departed, the Great Emperor of Beiyue immediately used his authority to summon the power of the stars to form a barrier, covering the entire Beiyue Divine Palace. He said, "Right now, we can only protect the Divine Palace. We will discuss the strategy to subdue the demon once the Buddha Bukong arrives."

The Great Emperor of the Northern Peak has two most important powers: one is to govern the Northern Peak Divine Palace and the Northern Continent, and the other is to control the division of the stars in the human world. Therefore, he can easily mobilize the power of the stars in the human world.

As the barrier settled, Emperor Beiyue and Zhao Chongguo walked out of the Antian Palace and looked towards Kongdang Mountain. There, they saw demonic light blazing and demonic energy surging. Within that demonic light, the Beichen Crossing Ship floated quietly, motionless.

"The Beichen Ferry has also fallen into the hands of that demon." The Great Emperor of Beiyue felt very uncomfortable, and his tone even carried a hint of anger.

Zhao Chongguo remained silent. He understood the feeling; no one would feel comfortable if a demon did such filthy things on their own sacred treasure.

The Beichen Ferry Boat stayed there for several days. By this time, Lord Taiheng had already arrived at the Tianyin Sacred Realm to meet the Northern Amoghasiddhi Buddha.

The Buddha Amoghasiddhi of the North was still somewhat puzzled by the purpose of Taiheng Jun's visit, so he immediately prepared tea in his presence.

Taihengjun was anxious. After sitting down, he only took a sip of tea before bowing to Bukong Buddha and saying, "Bukong Buddha, my father has ordered me to invite you to the Northern Mountain Divine Palace to discuss the matter of subduing demons."

"Subduing demons?" Amoghavajra was taken aback. Could it be that another demon, similar to the chosen one, had appeared?
Taihengjun said, "Indeed, does the Buddha Bukong know about the Demon Lord Taichen?"

The Buddha Amoghavajra's expression turned solemn, and he said, "Of course I know. Back then, the Demon Lord Taichen roamed the Northern Continent and dominated for tens of thousands of years. No god or Buddha in the ten directions could subdue him. Later, he was suppressed by the True Martial Emperor, and several Yuanhui have passed since then."

At this point, Amoghavajra suddenly said, "Speaking of this demon, it is said that your Northern Mountain once helped the True Martial Emperor suppress the Demon Lord Taichen. I wonder where the Demon Lord Taichen was suppressed?"

Because the Demon Lord Taichen cannot be killed, he can only be suppressed. The location of the suppression is known only to the True Martial Emperor and the Northern Mountain, which is why the Buddha Bukong asked this question.

Upon hearing the question from the Buddha Bukong, Taiheng Jun replied, "If the Buddha had asked before, I could not answer. But it doesn't matter now. Back then, my Northern Mountain did indeed assist the True Martial Emperor in suppressing the Demon Lord Taichen, and the aid we provided was my Northern Mountain's divine artifact, the 'Northern Star Crossing the Boundary Boat.' The True Martial Emperor set up a demon-sealing seal on Kongdang Mountain to imprison him, and the Northern Star Crossing the Boundary Boat was placed on top of him to suppress his power. However, two days ago, a woman troubled by love came to Kongdang Mountain. In her search for her beloved, she actually went to Kongdang Mountain and moved the Northern Star Crossing the Boundary Boat, breaking the seal and releasing the Demon Lord Taichen!"

'patta'

The moment Taiheng Jun finished speaking, the prayer beads in Amoghavajra's hand suddenly fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Lord Taiheng was startled and asked, "Buddha, what's wrong?"

The Buddha Amoghavajra was utterly distraught, his eyes filled with shock. "You mean that Demon Lord Taichen was imprisoned under the Beichen Ferry? And that he was released by a woman tormented by love?"

“Exactly.” Taiheng Jun nodded and said, “That’s why Father Emperor sent me to invite you, Buddha Bukong, to Beiyue to discuss the matter of subduing demons.”

After saying this, Taihengjun glanced casually behind Amoghavajra and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey! Amoghavajra, why has your Wheel of Merit shrunk?!" (End of Chapter)
