I am a fairy in Journey to the West

The seal on Mount Tao slowly opened, and the Third Holy Mother sat there in a daze. Everything that had happened during this time was displayed before her eyes by the Bodhisattva Zhunti through her magic.

A beam of sunlight shone in, and the figure of Bodhisattva Zhunti appeared in the eyes of the Third Holy Mother. "Third Holy Mother, the memorial you asked me to submit to the Great Emperor Shenxiao has been submitted."

A glint of light immediately appeared in the eyes of the Third Holy Mother, and she quickly stood up and asked, "What did the Divine Firmament Emperor say?"

Bodhisattva Zhunti shook his head and said, "The Great Emperor Shenxiao said that no matter how much trouble Liu Chenxiang causes outside, it has nothing to do with you. You just need to serve your sentence properly. As for you taking the blame for him, there's no need to mention it again. Everyone has to bear their own sins."

The light in the Third Holy Mother's eyes dimmed rapidly. Countless images flashed through her mind, and finally, these images converged before her eyes, forming a river filled with regret.

Seeing the Third Holy Mother sitting there blankly, Bodhisattva Zhunti shook her head and then turned and left.

The beam of light dissipated, the seal quickly closed, and the body of the Third Holy Mother disappeared into the darkness.

Meanwhile, in the Aoyun Palace of Yunlan Mountain, Zhuang Yan issued an order that, apart from Feilian Daxian and Dongji Laoxian who were killed in the battle, all the others were sentenced to beheading.

The four immortals, namely Tianhu Daxian, Chongtai Zhenren, Nanhe Laoxian, and Beixiao Daxian, along with the twenty-four demon kings who had not died that day, were all brought out of Aoyun Palace and lined up to kneel on the side of the mountain.

With Chi Ling's order, the executioner, twenty-four heads fell to the ground. Magic power, mixed with blood, gushed out from the severed necks, dissipating into the world, while blood splattered onto the soil.

Their primordial spirits and souls were also taken away by the underworld ghost king who had already arrived. Their sins in the mortal world had been settled, and their sins in the underworld were a matter for the underworld to deal with.

Like a cycle of reincarnation, everything returns to nature.

With the annihilation of the main anti-Heaven force led by Liu Chenxiang, the anti-Heaven forces in the entire Xiniu Hezhou quickly entered a low ebb, and many openly anti-Heaven forces moved from the open to the shadows at the fastest speed.

At this time, Zhuang Yan issued another decree, ordering the gods of all places in Xiniu Hezhou to unite and completely eliminate the anti-heaven forces in Xiniu Hezhou.

Thus, the gods from all over the country, who had previously been forced to hide due to their lack of power and influence, finally emerged from the shadows and quickly rallied together to suppress the rebellious forces.

The gods who had previously been gathered at Aoyun Palace by Chiling and Huayue Erlang returned to their respective territories and joined forces with each other.

Because during the battle at Aoyun Palace, Zhuang Yan bestowed red flags upon them to place on their heads to ward off divine thunder and lightning, the red flag quickly became a symbol.

Thus, one can see that red flags are everywhere in Xiniu Hezhou, and all the gods have raised red flags in response to Zhuang Yan's decree to annihilate all forces that rebel against Heaven and commit evil.

At the same time, Zhuang Yan issued an edict to the Chenhuan Jade Palace, and then Fire Spirit True Immortal arrived at Aoyun Palace with Tiger Vanguard ten days later.

Chi Ling handed the record book of merits for this battle to Huo Ling Zhen Xian. Zhuang Yan said to Huo Ling Zhen Xian, "I will entrust this matter to you to make the rewards based on this record book."

Fire Spirit Immortal bowed and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

So Fire Spirit Immortal took the Register of Merit and, together with Tiger Vanguard, who was in charge of the Examination and Merit Department, began to discuss the scale of the rewards.

But at that very moment, another person arrived at Aoyun Palace, bringing everyone unexpected news.

This person was Zhi Du, the Minister of the Western Mountain Divine Palace. His face was anxious and his eyes were full of panic. He came to see Zhuang Yan as soon as he arrived at Aoyun Palace.

At that moment, Hua Yue Erlang was making arrangements for the aftermath. He was surprised to see Zhi Du arrive and asked, "Minister Zhi Du, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Hua Yue Erlang, Zhi Du hurriedly said, "Lord Jinming, quickly take me to see the Divine Firmament Emperor, something has happened to His Majesty."

"What?!" Hua Yue Erlang exclaimed in shock. "Which emperor has been in trouble?"

Zhi Du said, "Your father, the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, has encountered trouble."

Hua Yue Erlang was struck dumb. After recovering, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?! What's wrong with my father?"

Minister Zhi Du said, "The Jade Emperor sent Venus down to deliver an edict, and ordered Wang Lingguan and the Divine Might Demon-Subduing Thunderbolt True Lord to use the interrogation document to take His Majesty to Heaven for questioning."

"Ah?!?!" Hua Yue Erlang was shocked, then grabbed Zhi Du and rushed towards the main hall.

Zhi Du, seeing the surprised look on Xiu Huang's face, hurriedly asked, "Announce first! Don't be rude!"

But Hua Yue Erlang ignored him, and Xiu Huang Tongzi did not come up to stop him. Soon, Hua Yue Erlang led Zhi Du into the main hall.

Zhuang Yan was instructing the Five Thunder Heavenly Lord on the task of eliminating demons in all directions when he saw Hua Yue Erlang rushing in. Seeing that Hua Yue Erlang was also accompanied by Minister Zhi Du, he asked with some surprise, "Marquis Jinming, what is the matter that has caused such a panic?"

Hua Yue Erlang knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "I beg the Great Emperor Shenxiao to save my father!" Everyone in the hall was stunned by these words. Wu Lei Tianjun, Ju Ling Shen, and Chi Ling all looked over in astonishment.

Zhuang Yan was also somewhat surprised. Instead of investigating the heavenly secrets, he asked directly, "What happened to the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain?"

At this moment, Minister Zhidu knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhuang Yan. He then told Zhuang Yan about the matter of the Great Emperor of the Western Peak and finally said, "I beg the Great Emperor Shenxiao to have mercy and say a few good words for the Great Emperor of the Western Peak before the Jade Emperor. All of us in the Western Peak Divine Palace will be eternally grateful."

Zhuang Yan was also somewhat shocked after hearing this. Of course, he was not shocked that the Jade Emperor had arrested the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain without notifying him. The Jade Emperor's power was limitless, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Zhuang Yan was shocked by the fact that the Jade Emperor had captured the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain.

A moment later, Zhuang Yan stood up and said to the boy holding the staff beside him, "Go and call the Fire Spirit True Immortal over."

The boy holding the staff responded and then quickly walked out of the main hall. Not long after, the Fire Spirit Immortal arrived in a hurry.

Zhuang Yan informed Huo Ling Zhenxian about the matter of the Great Emperor of the Western Peak. Huo Ling Zhenxian was also very shocked after hearing it. Afterwards, Zhuang Yan entrusted all matters here to Huo Ling Zhenxian and prepared to go to the Great Luo Heaven.

"Get up," Zhuang Yan said, looking at Hua Yue Erlang and Minister Zhi Du. "I'm going to Da Luo Tian now."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yue Erlang and Zhi Du repeatedly kowtowed, expressing their gratitude.

After Zhuang Yan had made all the arrangements, he activated 'Instant Teleportation' and disappeared from Aoyun Palace, arriving at the South Heavenly Gate in no time.

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, the Four Heavenly Kings and Star Officials stationed there saw Zhuang Yan arrive and hurriedly bowed to greet him.

"Your humble servants respectfully welcome His Majesty the Great Emperor Shenxiao."

Zhuang Yan raised his hand in a gesture of support and said, "Rise."

The crowd bowed deeply in gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Yan asked, "Where will the Great Celestial Venerable ascend the throne today?"

The Southern Heavenly King replied, "Your Majesty, the Great Heavenly Venerable is governing in the Hall of Brightness today."

After listening, Zhuang Yan nodded. Before Zhuang Yan could speak, everyone immediately made way for him, respectfully watching him enter the South Heavenly Gate.

After entering the Heavenly Gate, Zhuang Yan once again used 'Instant Teleportation' to arrive directly outside the Tongming Hall.

Outside the hall, rows of spirit officials stood in full armor, their golden helmets gleaming, exuding an aura of majesty and solemnity. But the moment they saw Zhuang Yan, they immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty the Great Emperor of Shenxiao."

Zhuang Yan raised his hands in a gesture of support and said, "All spirit officials, please rise. Please inform the Great Heavenly Venerable that Zhuang Yan has come to pay his respects."

The spirit officials bowed in thanks and rose. Then, the spirit official standing at the entrance of the hall received the decree, turned around, and entered the Tongming Hall.

A moment later, the spirit official came out of the Tongming Hall and said to Zhuang Yan, "Divine Firmament Emperor, the Great Heavenly Venerable has issued an order to summon you."

Zhuang Yan nodded, then stepped into the Tongming Hall. The moment he entered, a cloud of auspiciousness rose up beneath his feet, carrying him to the Emperor's celestial rank.

After the auspicious cloud settled, Zhuang Yan's gaze swept across the main hall. Apart from the Four Emperors, almost all the celestial officials and deities of the Divine Thunder Jade Palace and the Divine Firmament Jade Palace had arrived.

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak had been stripped of his imperial robes and was now standing in the lower hall wearing only a Taoist robe. The guards on his left and right had been replaced by True Lord Tianyou and True Lord Yisheng.

Zhuang Yan quickly withdrew his gaze, then turned and bowed to the Jade Emperor sitting high above, saying, "Your subject Zhuang Yan, the Supreme Emperor of the Mortal Realm and the Divine Emperor of the Spiritual Platform and the Clear Mind, pays respects to the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Emperor of the Mysterious Vault."

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said mercifully, "Divine Emperor Shenxiao, there's no need for such formalities. Rise."

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable." After saying this, Zhuang Yan stood up.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor asked, "The Divine Firmament Emperor has just quelled the rebellion of Liu Chenxiang and others. What is the purpose of your hasty ascension to Heaven to pay homage?"

Zhuang Yan hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, I am the Supreme Emperor of the Jade Palace in the mortal world, and the Five Great Emperors are also under my jurisdiction. Therefore, after hearing that Your Majesty had issued an edict to arrest the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and bring him to Heaven for punishment, I immediately went to Heaven to pay my respects to Your Majesty. If the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain is guilty, I am also guilty of mismanagement."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor laughed and said, "So that's how it is. It was the various emperors of the Divine Firmament Jade Palace who impeached the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain for his crimes, which is why I sent people down to the mortal realm to arrest and question him. As for the details of his crimes, they have not yet been determined and the Divine Firmament Jade Palace needs to report in detail. Since the Divine Firmament Emperor has come, let's discuss it together, after all, the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain is under the jurisdiction of your Mortal Realm Jade Palace."

"Your subject obeys the decree." Zhuang Yan bowed deeply, then said no more, standing upright on the imperial throne. (End of Chapter)
