I am a fairy in Journey to the West

When Lei Huaqing saw Lei Shangting, he couldn't help but show a look of great surprise. "Grandpa? What brings you here?"

Lei Shangting laughed and said, "I am here on the orders of the Immortal Lord of Yuanlei Mansion. I will take you to the Wind and Thunder Great World while I am at it."

"Go to the Wind and Thunder Great World?" Lei Huaqing was taken aback. "What about the lower realm?"

Lei Shangting said, "The two Dao Ancestors have already issued a decree to abandon all the Lesser Thousand Worlds and for all living beings to migrate to the Greater Thousand Worlds."

Upon hearing this, Lei Huaqing murmured, "Has the situation really come to this?"

Lei Shangting said, "With the entry of Pangu Heavenly Dao into the game, the situation has indeed changed. The Fire Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao has decided to come and attack my Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the two Dao Ancestors must withdraw their power. My Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao will abandon all the myriad worlds and concentrate its power to defend the Wind and Thunder Great Thousand World."

Lei Huaqing suddenly realized and immediately nodded, saying, "The two Dao Ancestors are far-sighted. The Wind and Thunder Great World is indeed the foundation of my Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao."

Lei Shangting then spoke about the mission, and then said to Lei Huaqing, "We'll go to the Boundless Realm first, and then return to the Wind and Thunder Great World."

Lei Huaqing said, "The Boundless Realm? This realm seems to be located directly below the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World."

Lei Shangting nodded and said, "That's right. This world is rich in resources and has abundant spiritual energy, making it a perfect place for fellow Daoists from the Pangu Heavenly Dao to reside."

Lei Huaqing's gaze was deep. Seeing the expression on his face, Lei Shangting knew that he had understood the deeper meaning, so he said, "This matter is a win-win situation."

Lei Huaqing did not reveal anything, but after a moment of silence, he said, "Grandfather, father, and all the clansmen of Shangyan Realm are dead."

"Sigh," Lei Shangting sighed, "Who told them to be so unfortunate, to be born in this era of great strife?"

At this point, Lei Shangting reached out and patted Lei Huaqing on the shoulder, saying, "Child, don't be afraid. Your grandfather is gone, but your great-grandfather will give you another great-grandfather."

Lei Huaqing: "."

"Hahaha." Lei Huaqing laughed loudly and said, "Everything has a beginning and an end, so don't be sad about life and death."

Lei Huaqing replied, "Yes."

The Boundless Realm is located directly below the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World. This realm boasts beautiful scenery, magnificent mountains and rivers, spiritual mountains and clear waters, and blessed lands.

As Lei Shangting said, this realm is thriving with spiritual energy, and the immortal spirit is extremely abundant, giving rise to countless rare and precious immortal treasures, immortal roots, and spiritual seeds.

Although Yuanlei Palace has relocated all the creatures from above to the Wind and Thunder Great World, the immortal roots, immortal herbs, and spiritual medicines inside have not been harvested and transferred, and remain in the world.

Upon entering the Boundless Realm, and seeing the boundless spiritual energy gathering at the top of the sky, transforming into auspicious clouds and colorful hues, the Great Sage Huangfeng laughed and said, "The fellow Daoists of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao are truly too kind, granting us such a prosperous world to reside in."

Lei Shangting laughed upon hearing this, "As long as the Grand Commandant and the fellow Daoists of Pangu Heaven are satisfied, a mere small world is nothing."

The Great Sage Huangfeng said, "Since the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder is so kind, I will send an envoy to Yuanlei Palace to express my gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Lei Shangting was overjoyed and quickly said, "If the Grand Commandant can send your esteemed envoy to the Wind and Thunder Great World, my Yuan Lei Mansion will certainly welcome you with all our heart."

The Great Sage Huangfeng nodded, then asked, "By the way, what is this realm called?"

Lei Shangting quickly said, "Call it 'Boundless Realm'."

"Boundless Realm?" The Great Sage Yellow Wind frowned. "That's not a good name."

"Huh?" Lei Shangting said, "No way, this realm was named by Lei Shu Xuan Daojun, meaning 'the principle of unrestrainedness'."

The Great Sage Huang Feng turned to Xue Baochai and asked, "I remember there was a poem in the human world before, something about the 'River of No Destiny'?"

Xue Baochai, being well-versed in literature, immediately replied, "It is Chen Songbo's 'Longxi Xing': 'Pitiable bones by the Wuding River, still the dream of a woman in her spring boudoir.'"

The Great Sage Huangfeng said, “Yes, we are far from this world and have come here alone. If we were to set up camp in this boundless realm, it would be somewhat taboo.”

"This," Lei Shangting hesitated, "is the best small world we can create right now."

"It's alright," said the Great Sage Yellow Wind, waving his hand. "Let's change the name."

Lei Shangting was taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly nodded and said, "Alright, alright, changing the name is good. Then please, Grand Commandant, bestow a new name upon this realm."

The Great Sage Huang Feng didn't mince words and said directly, "Let's change just one character and call it 'Martial Realm'."

Thus, the 'Boundless Realm' was renamed the 'Martial Realm'. Subsequently, the army entered the realm, and the Great Sage Huang Feng personally selected the largest mountain in this realm, 'Mount Wanren', as the seat of the Grand Commandant's office and the garrison of Zhang Tian's camp.

Standing atop the summit of Wanren Mountain, overlooking the surrounding landscape of Wuding, the Great Sage Huangfeng asked Xue Baochai, "I remember a poem that contains the phrase 'Wanren Mountain'?"

Xue Baochai smiled and said, "It's Wang Jiling's 'Liangzhou Ci'."

Having said that, Xue Baochai faced the cool breeze on the mountaintop, her gaze falling upon the misty mountains and plains, and softly sang: "The Yellow River flows far up to the white clouds, a lone city stands amidst ten thousand mountains. Why should the Qiang flute lament the willows, for the spring breeze does not reach Yumen Pass."

“No.” Huang Feng Dasheng waved his hand. Xue Baochai was a little surprised. “Grand Commandant, I didn’t recite it wrong.”

The Great Sage Huang Feng laughed and said, "I didn't say you recited it wrong, but there are two sentences that are not quite appropriate."

"Oh? Which two lines?" Xue Baochai asked curiously.

After some deliberation, the Great Sage Huang Feng said, "The Qiang flute need not lament the willows, for the spring breeze has already passed Wuding Pass!" Xue Baochai clapped her hands and laughed, "Wonderful! The Grand Commandant's revision of these two lines is extremely brilliant and perfectly suits the current situation."

"I have made my decision." The Great Sage Huangfeng looked at Xue Baochai and said, "I appoint you as 'Advisory Military Advisor,' to assist me in military affairs. However, I cannot recommend you for an official rank; for now, you will serve as my deputy."

Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai was taken aback, then bowed and said, "Grand Commandant, Baochai does not understand military matters."

"I don't need you to understand." The Great Sage Huang Feng waved his hand and said, "Military formations aren't that complicated. It's simply about preserving yourself and killing the enemy. You're a well-read young lady from a prominent family. Just read and sing some poems from the mortal world to everyone in your spare time."

Xue Baochai immediately understood. She finally knew why the Great Sage Yellow Wind always mentioned 'poetry' but couldn't remember those 'poetry'.

Because what Huang Feng Dasheng liked was not the poems, but the world of Yanfu behind them, she understood her duty at this moment. The divine generals of Zhang Tianying in front of her were, like her, beings of the Pangu Heavenly Dao who were far removed from this world.

Within the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder, they bear not only responsibilities, but also the constant danger of death, annihilation, and complete destruction of body and soul.

In this environment, anything from Pangu's Heavenly Dao is incredibly precious.

Xue Baochai did not refuse again. She solemnly cupped her hands and bowed, saying, "Your subordinate obeys."

"Alright," said the Great Sage Huang Feng with a smile, "Don't be so nervous. I have another task for you."

Xue Baochai immediately cupped her hands and said, "Please give your orders, Grand Commandant."

The Great Sage Huang Feng said, "I want you to represent me, Zhang Tianying, on a mission to the Wind and Thunder Great World."

"Me?" Xue Baochai was stunned, then shook her head repeatedly, saying, "Grand Commandant, I'm afraid I can't do it. I'm just an Earth Immortal."

"It has nothing to do with cultivation level." The Great Sage Huangfeng interrupted Xue Baochai: "This has nothing to do with cultivation level. Your mission to the Wind and Thunder Great World is on behalf of the beings of my Pangu Heavenly Dao. The first impression the beings of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao have of you is the first impression they have of my Pangu Heavenly Dao. Do you understand?"

Xue Baochai said, "Then why don't you go yourself, Grand Commandant?"

The Great Sage Huangfeng pointed to his face and said, "Do you want the beings of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao to think that the people of the Pangu Heavenly Dao all have rat faces?"

“Actually, Grand Commandant, your face isn’t ugly at all, really,” Xue Baochai boldly said. “It’s even a little cute.”

"No!" Huang Feng Dasheng covered his face and stopped Xue Baochai. It was the first time someone had praised his face as cute. "I have to stay in Wuding Realm and cannot leave here."

As he spoke, the Great Sage Huangfeng suddenly became serious and said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Xue Baochai, can you fulfill your mission of conveying the goodwill of my Pangu Heavenly Dao to all beings of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao and showcasing the splendor of my Pangu Heavenly Dao?"

Xue Baochai felt immense pressure, but looking at the solemn and sacred face of the Yellow Wind Great Sage, a surge of heroic spirit welled up in her heart.

After a slight hesitation, Xue Baochai immediately straightened up and bowed, saying, "Baochai will obey your command and will certainly not fail the Grand Commandant's trust."

"Good, good, good." The Great Sage Huang Feng patted Xue Baochai's shoulder and said, "Young people should have this kind of spirit! Then I'll leave this matter to you. I will summon all the armies later to announce your appointment as a military advisor and the decision to appoint you as an envoy."

"Yes," Xue Baochai bowed and replied.

A day later, on a newly cleared training ground in Wanren Mountain, twelve thousand Zhang Tianying generals gathered.

Huang Feng Dasheng first announced the appointment of Xue Baochai as a military advisor, then announced that he would send an envoy to the Wind and Thunder Great World on behalf of Zhang Tianying, and informed Lei Shangting of this decision.

Lei Shangting was overjoyed, as the sooner this matter was settled, the better. So he asked Huang Feng, the Great Sage Envoy, when they would set off.

The Great Sage Huang Feng glanced at Xue Baochai, then replied, "We'll set off in two days."

However, that evening, in the makeshift central command tent, Xue Baochai said with a troubled expression, "Two days is too short. I'm not prepared at all. I haven't even thought about what to say when we get there."

“Say whatever you want,” said Huang Feng Dasheng. “The Divine Firmament Emperor has already proclaimed the existence of Pangu’s Heavenly Dao in the Chaos to the Heavenly Daos of Wind and Thunder and the Five Elements, so there’s nothing to hide. You can say whatever you want.”

“It’s not that,” Xue Baochai said with a worried look. “How should we greet the beings of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao? How should we introduce our Pangu Heavenly Dao? These are things we need to think about carefully.”

The Great Sage Huang Feng laughed and said, "That's easy. When we meet, we'll ask if you've eaten. If not, we'll eat together. If you have, we'll talk about it next time."

Xue Baochai: "."

She then rolled her eyes, stood up, and said, "I'll figure it out myself. Two days and two nights will do like four days."

"Haha, that's right." Huang Feng said, "Since I sent you as an envoy, I trust your abilities, so you can make all the decisions about the mission yourself."

At this point, the Great Sage Huang Feng softened his tone and looked at Xue Baochai, saying, "Don't be so cautious. If you don't handle this matter well, I won't blame you. If you do it well, I will reward you handsomely. Either way, you won't lose out."

Xue Baochai said, "That won't do. It concerns the reputation and image of my Pangu Heavenly Dao. It must be handled perfectly."

"Good." The Great Sage Huang Feng nodded and said, "That's ambitious."

Xue Baochai cupped her hands and said, "Grand Commandant, I shall take my leave now."

The Great Sage Huang Feng laughed and said, "Go."

Xue Baochai bowed respectfully, then turned and left the main tent to return to her own quarters to prepare for her mission. (End of Chapter)
