I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Zhuang Yan's appearance this time can be said to have directly shaken the Five Elements Heavenly Dao and the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. This can be seen from the fact that all five Dao Ancestors of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao came to the front line to attack the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao.

The five Dao Ancestors of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao are the Wood Dao Ancestor, the Fire Dao Ancestor, the Earth Dao Ancestor, the Metal Dao Ancestor, and the Water Dao Ancestor. These five Dao Ancestors were also born in the order of the mutual generation of the Five Elements.

Therefore, the Wood Dao Ancestor is the number one among the Five Elements Dao Ancestors, followed by Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water in that order.

The Dao Ancestor of Wood Path, dressed in a green robe, with white hair and a youthful face, sat at the head of the table with profound eyes.

"The appearance of Pangu's Heavenly Dao was somewhat unexpected, but it was not entirely unforeseen," said the Wood Dao Ancestor slowly.

Jin Xing Dao Zu had long, black hair and a beard, and wore a jade-white Daoist robe. He looked like a young man. His eyes were sharp, and even his tone of voice carried a domineering aura. "But this suddenly appearing Pangu Heavenly Dao has disrupted our plans. Originally, Ben Xing Dao Zu could lead the attack on Feng Lei Heavenly Dao, and the rest of us could start attacking the positive and negative Heavenly Daos. But now we have to adjust our arrangements."

Earth Dao Ancestor asked Water Dao Ancestor, "How long will it take to complete the construction of the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge, which will attack the righteous and the rebellious Heavenly Dao?"

The Water Path Ancestor was dressed in a robe of ethereal blue clouds, wearing a purple-gold jade crown, with a blue veil draped over his black hair, exuding an air of dignified gentleness, elegance, and tranquility.

Upon hearing the question from the Earth Dao Ancestor, the Water Dao Ancestor replied, "It will take at least another thirty years to complete."

“Thirty years is not a long time,” said the Earth-Walking Dao Ancestor. “We still have time.”

"Not necessarily. The Pangu Heavenly Dao sent its people into the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao without a word, so they were probably prepared." The Fire Dao Ancestor was dressed in a red robe, and even his beard and hair were red. In particular, the innate fire pattern between his eyebrows made him stand out even more.

At this point, Huo Xing Dao Zu made a quick calculation and said, "I guess the Pangu Heavenly Dao's Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge has already begun construction. According to normal time, it should have taken only a few decades."

"How do you know?" asked the Golden Path Ancestor.

Huo Xing Dao Zu said, "The sudden appearance of that Divine Firmament Emperor at this time, and his open exposure of the existence of Pangu Heavenly Dao, is certainly not a rash move, but rather something that Pangu Heavenly Dao had prepared long ago. His previous appearance was clearly meant to intimidate us."

The Wood Dao Ancestor nodded slightly and then asked the Earth Dao Ancestor, "This person's power was able to suppress you. What is your opinion of him?"

Tu Xing Dao Zu's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "This is an extremely powerful opponent. When I clashed with him in terms of power, I felt relaxed at first, but the longer it went on and the longer it lasted, the more difficult it became to resist."

"What do you mean?" asked the Golden Dao Ancestor.

After pondering for a moment, the Earth Dao Ancestor said to the Metal Dao Ancestor, "This person's power seems to gradually increase over time. In the ten hours that I fought with him, his power doubled every hour, as if there were no limit or end."

As the Earth Element Dao Ancestor was formed from the innate earth energy, his power was the most profound among the Five Element Dao Ancestors. Upon hearing the Earth Element Dao Ancestor say this, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.

The Wood Dao Ancestor then asked, "Then what did you see manifest in his great power?"

The so-called manifestation refers to the phenomena of the Taoist methods a person cultivates or the power they wield. For example, the great powers of the Wind and Thunder Ancestors will naturally manifest the phenomena of wind and thunder.

For example, the Five Elements Ancestors' great power also manifests the image of the Five Elements.

Therefore, upon hearing Wood Dao Ancestor's words, Earth Dao Ancestor's face visibly showed a hint of doubt. "This is exactly what puzzles me. There is no obvious manifestation in the power of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Venerable. It is just a clear and mysterious void."

"Qingxuan Wuxiang?" Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this. Huoxing Daozu frowned deeply. "This is the most troublesome thing. We cannot determine his background by observing his manifestation of great power."

The Wood Dao Ancestor said, "Right now, the most important thing is not to deal with the Pangu Heavenly Dao, but to launch a full-scale attack on the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao before the Pangu Heavenly Dao's Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge is completed."

At this point, the Wood Dao Ancestor made a decision: "We will select another person from among us to join the Earth Dao Ancestor in attacking the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao."

"Who will come?" asked the Wood Dao Ancestor.

The Water Dao Ancestor said, "The wind blows away the clouds and water, and the thunder strikes the Kanze. My Dao is not suitable for fighting against the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder."

The Wood Dao Ancestor nodded and said, "Like the Water Dao Ancestor, I am easily blown down by the wind and burned by lightning, so I am not suitable to fight against the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder."

The Golden Dao Ancestor and the Fire Dao Ancestor exchanged a glance and said, "It seems we can only choose one of us."

The Fire Dao Ancestor said, "The wind blows and the fire spreads across the plains, the lightning strikes and the fire rages to the heavens, so I have no choice but to come."

“Alright.” Jin Xing Dao Zu nodded and said, “Then please invite Huo Xing Dao Zu to join Tu Xing Dao Zu in attacking the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao.”

The Wood Dao Ancestor said, "Then the Metal Dao Ancestor and the Water Dao Ancestor shall continue to build the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge leading to the positive and negative Heavenly Daos. Pangu Heavenly Dao should not have discovered the positive and negative Heavenly Daos yet, so we must be one step ahead of them."

The Golden Dao Ancestor and the Water Dao Ancestor nodded and replied, "Alright, leave this matter to us."

After the discussion was settled, the Earth-Walking Dao Ancestor remained in the Liangtian Divine Bridge to oversee the situation, while the other four Dao Ancestors returned to the Five Elements Heavenly Dao Manifestation World.

Meanwhile, on the Fenglei Heavenly Dao side, the two Dao Ancestors were also discussing how to deal with this complex situation.

"With the Pangu Heavenly Dao being so powerful, I'm afraid it will become another Five Elements Heavenly Dao. My Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao is caught in the middle and is being attacked from both sides," said the Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor helplessly.

Tianlei Daozu laughed and said, "It's just that my Fenglei Tiandao has too few people. Only the two of us can hold things together."

Tianfeng Daozu said, "Fortunately, although almost all of my Fenglei Heavenly Dao's Lesser Thousand Worlds have fallen, the Central Great Thousand World has not yet been breached. The Heavenly Dao has suffered relatively few losses and may be able to continue resisting the attacks of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao."

Tianlei Daozu said, "This time, the Five Elements Heavenly Dao will definitely send more people, but I don't know how many Daozus will be added."

Tianfeng Daozu said, "And then there's Pangu Tiandao. That Shenxiao Tianzun seems extremely powerful. I estimate that Pangu Tiandao's Liangtian Divine Bridge is almost complete." Tianlei Daozu pondered for a moment and said, "This time, Pangu Tiandao took advantage of my Fenglei Tiandao's unpreparedness and sent over more than 10,000 people here in one fell swoop. What should we do with these people?"

Tianfeng Daozu said, "Killing these 10,000 people would be easy, but the previous Pangu Heavenly Dao did not show too much hostility towards my Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. On the contrary, it showed extremely strong hostility towards the Five Elements Heavenly Dao."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor immediately said, "You mean to leave these 10,000 people behind as a gesture of goodwill to Pangu Heavenly Dao?"

Tianfeng Daozu's gaze was profound. "We can give them a foothold in a small thousand world, and all our power will retreat to the Wind and Thunder Great World."

“I think that’s a good idea.” Dao Ancestor Tianlei nodded. “Send some more supplies over there, and it would be best to establish diplomatic relations between the two sides.”

At this point, Dao Ancestor Tianfeng suddenly interrupted Dao Ancestor Tianlei, "Fellow Daoist Tianlei, there is a heavenly secret you should examine."

"Oh?" asked the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor, "What heavenly secret?"

Tianfeng Daozu said, "Regarding the spies of Pangu Heavenly Dao, and the secrets of that group of ten thousand immortal cultivators."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor immediately began to examine the secrets of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. From Xue Baochai's appearance in the Chongyuan Realm to her later fighting alongside Lei Huaqing, and finally Zhang Tianying's army entering to annihilate more than 24,000 Five Elements Heavenly Dao immortal cultivators of the Dingwei Heavenly Boat, everything that happened in the manifestation of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao was clearly recorded and transformed into a secret of heaven.

After reading it, the Thunder God Ancestor was filled with disbelief. "Six thousand people wiped out twenty-four thousand Five Elements Heavenly Dao Immortal Cultivators? And not a single one died in battle?" If this information hadn't been revealed by the Heavenly Secrets, the Thunder God Ancestor would have thought that the people of the Pangu Heavenly Dao were just bragging.

“It’s the armor they’re wearing and the weapons they’re carrying,” said Dao Ancestor Tianfeng. “They’re all wearing the same type of armor and weapons, and the power they’re imbued with is unfamiliar; we can’t tell where it came from.”

The Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor frowned deeply, "It seems that the Pangu Heavenly Dao is very well prepared."

Tianfeng Daozu said, "It is certain that they knew of our existence at least a hundred years in advance."

The Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor sighed and said, "Compared to this, our Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao truly deserves to be in this state. If we had discovered the existence of other Heavenly Daos a few hundred years earlier, we wouldn't be in such a passive position now."

Dao Ancestor Tianfeng nodded and said, "This is all our fault."

After saying this, Tianfeng Daozu and Tianlei Daozu rallied their spirits again. "Fortunately, the situation has changed. It's not the change that's scary, but the lack of change. Originally, it was the Five Elements Heavenly Dao that attacked my Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, but now there's an additional Pangu Heavenly Dao. Well, let's go with the flow."

Dao Ancestor Tianfeng nodded and said, "Then let's go with the flow. It just so happens that Lei Huaqing has formed this good relationship."

Tianlei Daozu laughed and said, "This little fellow may have changed the course of events single-handedly. He is truly blessed with good fortune."

Having said that, the Heavenly Thunder Ancestor raised his hand and pointed, and a thunderous edict immediately transformed into lightning and flew out of the main hall.

Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in a Five Thunder Daoist robe, who was a Great Awakening Golden Immortal, entered the main hall and bowed to the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor, saying, "Disciple Lei Shuxuan pays respects to the Dao Ancestor."

Tianlei Daozu asked with a smile, "Is there a young man named 'Lei Huaqing' among your descendants?"

Great Enlightened Golden Immortals like Lei Shuxuan did not have descendants who came from marriage and childbirth, but rather directly enlightened living beings with their own blood.

All living beings that were touched by his blood naturally possessed his bloodline. These beings then multiplied and thrived, their races growing ever larger, eventually becoming the 'Immortal Race,' the descendants of Lei Shuxuan's bloodline.

Upon hearing this, Lei Shuxuan simply used his divine sense to immediately find a young man named Lei Huaqing among all his bloodline descendants.

Lei Shuxuan immediately replied, "Indeed, there was a young man named Lei Huaqing who lived in the 'Upper Rock Realm' of the Lesser Thousand Realms. However, the Upper Rock Realm was destroyed not long ago."

The Heavenly Thunder Ancestor said, "Your descendant did not die; he even formed a good karmic connection. Now I will give you a talisman; do as it says."

As soon as the Heavenly Thunder Ancestor finished speaking, a golden talisman immediately flew down in front of Lei Shuxuan.

Lei Shuxuan immediately accepted the talisman, then bowed to the Heavenly Thunder Ancestor and said, "This disciple will respectfully obey the Ancestor's decree."

Then, Dao Ancestor Tianfeng said to Lei Shuxuan, "Don't leave yet. We have important matters to discuss later. Go sit down."

Lei Shuxuan bowed to Tianfeng Daozu again and said, "Disciple obeys the decree." Then he walked to the left side of the main hall and sat down.

Subsequently, the Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor issued a decree, summoning all the Great Awakening Golden Immortal cultivators of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao to this place for discussion.

They were discussing nothing other than how to deal with the new situation. First, they made it clear to everyone that the situation would definitely deteriorate further. In order to guard against the Pangu Heavenly Dao, the Five Elements Heavenly Dao would definitely increase its attack on the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the two Dao Ancestors of Wind and Thunder asked all the Great Awakened Golden Immortals and their forces to prepare for a fierce battle.

Secondly, the two Dao Ancestors pointed out that the entry of Pangu's Heavenly Dao power was irreversible, but with the good karma formed by Lei Huaqing, this power of Pangu's Heavenly Dao could be won over and united.

Finally, a small world was carved out for the power of the Pangu Heavenly Dao to establish itself under the control of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, and resources were provided to it. Communication was facilitated to ensure that it would not join the Five Elements Heavenly Dao in attacking the Pangu Heavenly Dao.

After discussing these matters, the two Dao Ancestors, Feng and Lei, entrusted all these matters to a group of Great Awakening Golden Immortals.

After all the Great Awakening Golden Immortals had left, the two Dao Ancestors did something else: they locked onto the aura of the 'Seven-Colored Light Gate' that Zhuang Yan had used to send Zhang Tianying that day and presented it to the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. This was also a precaution they took against the Pangu Heavenly Dao.

Subsequently, changes occurred immediately under the operation of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. The power represented by the 'sensing function' brought by Zhuang Yan's Xuan Yu Divine Statue was sealed by the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. In other words, Zhuang Yan could no longer use this method to open the boundary passage between the Pangu Heavenly Dao and the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao.

The previous method could only be used once, which is why Zhang Tianying allowed as many people as possible to cross. Furthermore, those who crossed before the Liangtian Divine Bridge was completed received no support from the Pangu Heavenly Dao. (End of Chapter)
