I am a fairy in Journey to the West

"Fellow Zhenwu Taoist."

More than ten days after the True Martial Emperor returned from inspecting Zhang Tian Camp, six Dao Lords—Ji Feng Dao Jun, Yuan Lei Dao Jun, Biao Feng Dao Jun, Zhen Lei Dao Jun, Ling Feng Dao Jun, and Yu Lei Dao Jun—came to visit him together.

The True Martial Emperor stepped out of his cloud chamber to greet him, only to see six people bowing to him in unison.

The True Martial Emperor quickly returned the greeting, then asked, "Fellow Daoists, what brings you here?"

Daoist Jifeng smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhenwu, the two Dao Ancestors invite you."

The True Martial Emperor was slightly surprised, "Could it be the two Dao Ancestors, Wind and Thunder?"

“Indeed.” Daoist Jifeng nodded and said, “The two Dao Ancestors invite Daoist Zhenwu to the Wind and Thunder Immortal Palace for a chat.”

The True Martial Emperor nodded and said, "Very well, in that case, I shall go to the Wind and Thunder Immortal Palace to pay my respects to the two Dao Ancestors."

Daoist Jifeng clapped his hands, and two attendants stepped forward. Daoist Jifeng pointed to the attendant on the left and said, "This is Lingfeng, an attendant under Daoist Tianfeng." Then he pointed to the attendant on the right and said, "This is Linglei, an attendant under Daoist Tianlei."

After the introductions were finished, Daoist Jifeng smiled at Emperor Zhenwu and said, "Next, the two immortal attendants will lead Fellow Daoist Zhenwu to the Wind and Thunder Immortal Palace."

Upon hearing this, the True Martial Emperor asked with some surprise, "What, aren't the six fellow Daoists going?"

The six exchanged glances, and then Yuan Lei Daojun said, "The Five Elements Heavenly Dao reinforcements have arrived and are currently heading towards the Wind and Thunder Great World."

Upon hearing this, the True Martial Emperor hurriedly asked, "Then what is the enemy's strength this time?"

“They’re coming on strong,” Yuan Lei Daojun said. “There are twenty-two Great Awakening Golden Immortals alone, and four million three hundred thousand immortal cultivators.”

The True Martial Emperor's expression turned solemn, and he asked, "How should we respond?"

Yuan Lei Daojun sighed and looked at Ji Feng Daojun. Ji Feng Daojun also sighed slightly and said, "The Five Elements Heavenly Dao is determined to destroy my Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. My Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao has no choice."

At this point, Daoist Jifeng added, "We can only give up guarding the Heavenly Gate to prevent the Five Elements Heavenly Dao people from entering the Wind and Thunder Great World."

The True Martial Emperor asked, "What if the Heavenly Gate cannot be defended?"

Daoist Jifeng looked toward the direction of the Heavenly Gate, where there were nine layers of wind and thunder domains. "If the Heavenly Gate falls, then we will continue to defend it by relying on the direction formed by the nine layers of wind and thunder domains."

The True Martial Emperor nodded and said, "So, you six fellow Daoists are going to defend the Heavenly Gate?"

“Exactly.” Daoist Jifeng nodded and said, “So we can’t accompany Daoist Zhenwu to the Wind and Thunder Immortal Palace.”

Emperor Zhenwu expressed his understanding. Afterwards, the six members of the Extreme Wind Daoist took their leave from Emperor Zhenwu again. However, before they left, Emperor Zhenwu said, "I will send Zhang Tianying to assist in the defense."

Upon hearing this, the six members of the Extreme Wind Daoist turned around, gave the True Martial Emperor a grateful look, and then transformed into six beams of wind and thunder, heading straight towards the Heavenly Gate.

Watching the departing figures of the six, including Daoist Jifeng, Emperor Zhenwu raised his hand and issued a decree, which flew towards Zhang Tianying's camp.

Then, led by the two celestial children, Lingfeng and Linglei, the True Martial Emperor arrived at the Fenglei Immortal Palace in the center of the Fenglei Great World. Without any prior notice, he went directly to the 'Dao Ancestor Hall' under the guidance of the two celestial children.

Upon entering the Dao Ancestor Hall, the True Martial Emperor looked up and saw the two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei, sitting high on auspicious clouds, though the mysterious light surrounding them was somewhat hazy.

“You need not doubt, this is our reflection,” said Dao Ancestor Tianfeng.

The Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor said, "We are currently engaged in a battle with the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, and our true forms are simply too busy to come here."

The True Martial Emperor bowed and said, "Greetings to the two Dao Ancestors. I understand your difficulties."

"That's good then." Dao Ancestor Tianfeng nodded. "The reason I invited Fellow Daoist Zhenwu here is to ask him about your position in the Pangu Heavenly Dao."

The True Martial Emperor said, "My position in the Pangu Heavenly Dao is in the upper-middle realm."

Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor asked, "Can you keep your word?"

After thinking for a moment, the True Martial Emperor said, "This time, the Divine Firmament Emperor has given me the authority to make decisions on the spot, so I can count on the major matters."

"Hehe." Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor chuckled softly, then turned his gaze to Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor.

Tianfeng Daozu continued, “Fellow Daoist Zhenwu, your Daoist power is extraordinary, far surpassing that of all the Great Awakeners of my Fenglei Heavenly Dao. The fellow Daoists of Pangu Heavenly Dao sent you here, which must mean they have great faith in you.”

The True Martial Emperor kept trying to figure out what the two Dao Ancestors meant, but he could never understand what they were thinking.

However, the True Martial Emperor had his own way of responding: "Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor is too kind. I only have some martial arts skills, and my Daoist techniques are secondary. However, the Divine Firmament Emperor sent me here to support the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, so naturally I must live and die with the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. This is beyond question."

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Tianfeng and Dao Ancestor Tianlei nodded immediately. After exchanging a glance, they had no further doubts and each took out an item from their sleeves.

"Things have come to this point, and the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder is in a critical moment of survival. Since Fellow Daoist Zhenwu has taken on this heavy responsibility, we two should also rely on you," said Dao Ancestor Tianfeng.

The True Martial Emperor was slightly startled. Relying on him? Didn't the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao still have six Great Awakening Golden Immortals? Why would they rely on him?

But he quickly realized that these words were spoken by the two Dao Ancestors to the Pangu Heavenly Dao behind him.

On the surface, the two Dao Ancestors said they relied on him, but in reality, what they meant was, "We can only rely on Pangu's Heavenly Dao."

The True Martial Emperor looked up and saw that the two Dao Ancestors each held a Dao talisman in their hands, and the energy on the talismans was exactly the same as that of the two Dao Ancestors.

The Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor said, "Although we are the Dao Ancestors of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, we cannot control the will of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, we can only express our attitude: as long as the Pangu Heavenly Dao treats our Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao well in the future, our Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao is willing to respect the Pangu Heavenly Dao and take the Pangu Heavenly Dao as our leader, and be at your beck and call."

After saying this, the two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei, presented the Dao talismans in their hands to the True Martial Emperor. "These are our Dao talismans. By holding these talismans, we can command all immortal cultivators and living beings in the world below us who are subject to the wind and thunder, and we will not be restricted by any of the laws governing the wind and thunder in the world," said Dao Ancestor Tianfeng.

"Fellow Daoist, please take our Dao talismans and lead all the immortal cultivators and sentient beings of the Wind and Thunder in this world to resist the invasion of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao," said the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor. "As long as we can hold out until the Pangu Heavenly Dao's Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge is completed, it will be fine."

The True Martial Emperor was extremely shocked, never expecting that these two Dao Ancestors would directly give him the authority to manifest the wind and thunder in the world.

But upon further reflection, it's not surprising. Right now, the Five Elements Heavenly Dao is clearly going all out to destroy the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, so worrying about other things at this point is pointless.

Whether they are beings from the Pangu Heavenly Dao or beings manifested by wind and thunder, if they lose this battle and cannot hold out until the Pangu Heavenly Dao's Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge is completed, then everyone will die.

If that's the case, why not let the True Martial Emperor rule over all authority over wind and thunder in the world, so that the two families can unite as one and fight against the enemy together?
Moreover, doing so would also release tremendous goodwill towards the Pangu Heavenly Dao. If they can truly hold out until the arrival of the Pangu Heavenly Dao, then the goodwill released today will surely bring rich rewards in the future.

Therefore, after careful deliberation, Tianfeng and Tianlei Daozu decided to bestow their Dao talismans upon Zhenwu the Great, allowing this extremely powerful Great Awakening Golden Immortal from Pangu Heavenly Dao to lead all the immortal cultivators and beings in the world of wind and thunder, and to lead them in resisting the invasion of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao.

The True Martial Emperor was astonished by the magnanimity of the two Dao Ancestors, but he also understood the immense responsibility he would bear. Looking at the two Dao talismans before him, he didn't hesitate for a moment, grasping them directly in his hands. Then, with a firm and calm gaze, he looked at the two Dao Ancestors, Heavenly Wind and Heavenly Thunder, and slowly said, "It is my duty!"

'puff'

Yuan Lei Daojun spat out a mouthful of blood essence and then crashed heavily to the ground. When he was helped up by Biaofeng Daojun and Zhenlei Daojun, his legs were almost unsteady.

"Hahaha." Shui Nongxing, dressed in a deep blue immortal robe, stood in the air on auspicious water light. Looking at the seriously injured Yuan Lei Daojun, she laughed and said, "Your thunder magic is not even enough to tickle me. I advise you to surrender quickly. If you can surrender to my Five Elements Heavenly Dao, I can give you the status of a high-grade immortal."

"Pah!" Yuan Lei Daojun spat and said coldly, "My Feng Lei Heavenly Dao would rather die than surrender."

"Fine." Shui Nongxing's face turned cold as she glanced at Yuan Lei Daojun and the others. "Then you can all die. It's no use for trash like you to surrender."

As he spoke, Shui Nongxing stirred up a thousand giant waves, which surged and crashed across the void of the realm, heading straight for the Heavenly Gate.

At the same time, Shui Nongxing flashed and transformed into a beam of water and cloud light, heading straight for the Heavenly Gate. He then issued the order to attack to the 300,000 immortal cultivators under his own immortal abode.

At the command, the 300,000 immortal cultivators of the Water Star Immortal Mansion immediately formed a battle formation and charged straight toward the Heavenly Gate with deafening battle cries.

Seeing this, Tu Yan Daojun behind him couldn't help but say angrily, "This Shui Nongxing is too arrogant. He didn't even consult with us and launched an attack on his own."

The leader, Daoist Mu Heng, remained calm and said, "At present, it doesn't matter whether we attack first or later. Since Daoist Shui Nongxing has already led his immortal cultivators from his immortal abode to attack, we cannot delay any longer."

After saying that, Mu Heng raised the command flag and said, "Fellow Daoists, heed my command and attack the Wind and Thunder Great World immediately."

Upon hearing this, the twenty Dao Lords around him all raised their command flags and issued the order to attack.

In an instant, four million immortal cultivators surged forth like a tidal wave, attacking the Heavenly Gate of the Wind and Thunder Great World. Meanwhile, Mu Hengyi remained in the rear, ordering the other twenty Dao Lords to go and support Shui Nongxing.

At the Heavenly Gate, Daoist Jifeng immediately ordered Daoist Yuanlei and the others to retreat. At the same time, 500,000 immortal cultivators from the Wind and Thunder Great World had already entered the first Wind and Thunder Realm behind the Heavenly Gate.

“Fight them in the Wind and Thunder Realm,” said Daoist Jifeng. “Daoist Yuanlei, retreat to the third Wind and Thunder Realm to heal your wounds first.”

Yuan Lei Daojun nodded and flew directly into the third Wind and Thunder Realm without any hesitation.

The five Dao Lords, namely Jifeng Daojun, Biaofeng Daojun, Zhenlei Daojun, Lingfeng Daojun, and Yulei Daojun, also retreated into the first line of defense of the wind and thunder domain. As soon as they entered, they felt that the wind and thunder energy in their bodies became extremely abundant and perfect, as if it were endless.

This is because the Wind and Thunder Great World has already annihilated all other laws and primordial energy, leaving only the laws and primordial energy that are compatible and harmonious with wind and thunder in the entire Wind and Thunder Great World.

When Xue Baochai and her deputy Xie Xuan led a thousand Zhang Tianying generals into the first line of defense against wind and thunder, they felt that the flow of magical power within their bodies was extremely difficult and slow, almost to the point of stagnation.

This is because her Golden Element Daoist technique cannot draw any primordial energy here except for wind and thunder. Fortunately, she does not need to rely on magic power. She shook the Seven Treasures Blade in her hand, patted the Eight Treasures Armor on her body, and looked at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan was talking with the immortal lords of the Wind and Thunder Great World at the first line of defense. After learning about the deployment of 500,000 immortal cultivators in the Wind and Thunder Great World at the first line of defense, Xie Xuan made corresponding arrangements.

First, Xie Xuan divided the thousand divine generals into two hundred groups of five.

Meanwhile, the first line of defense, guarded by 500,000 immortal cultivators in the Wind and Thunder Great World, consists of 130 'pivotal passes'. These pivotal passes are the core of each Wind and Thunder Realm and the central hub for providing support to the immortal cultivators of the Wind and Thunder Great World.

Therefore, Xie Xuan first dispatched 130 groups to be stationed at those 130 key passes, to defend them together with the immortal cultivators of the Wind and Thunder Great World there.

The remaining seventy groups were divided into two, with Xie Xuan and Xue Baochai respectively stationed in the east and west of the first level of the Wind and Thunder Realm, so as to provide support to those key passes at any time.

The immortal cultivators of the Wind and Thunder Great World had already set up a defensive formation, but before Zhang Tianying's 130 groups could enter the pivotal pass, the Five Elements Heavenly Dao's offensive landed on the first layer of the Wind and Thunder Realm's defense line.

In an instant, a deafening roar erupted, and all light was suddenly obscured; this was truly a cataclysmic event, a reversal of yin and yang.

Shui Nongxing was the first to rush into the first layer of wind and thunder defense line, and was directly besieged by the Gale Dao Lord and the Lingfeng Dao Lord. After the 300,000 immortal cultivators under her immortal mansion rushed into the wind and thunder defense line, they only felt a vortex of wind and thunder sweep past their eyes, and their magic power was directly reduced by half.

But these immortal cultivators did not hesitate at all. They put the purple coins in their mouths and used their magic power to transform them into a wisp of acquired purple energy.

The acquired purple energy extracted from the Five Elements Heavenly Dao contained extremely rich Five Elements power. As the purple coin transformed into acquired purple energy and entered the body, it immediately became extremely rich and pure Five Elements magic power.

As a Great Awakening Golden Immortal, Shui Nongxing consumes an even more terrifying number of purple coins, spending 100,000 purple coins every hour.

Shui Nongxing was indeed arrogant and domineering. In the Wind and Thunder Realm, which was completely unfavorable to her, she fought against two opponents and was not at a disadvantage at all. She even confronted the Wind and Thunder Dao Lord and the Wind and Thunder Dao Lord, and they wore down each other's magic power.

However, within this Wind and Thunder Realm, the magical power of Daoist Biaofeng and Daoist Lingfeng doubled and surged. With everything in their favor, Daoist Lingfeng used his divine power to directly injure Shui Nongxing and repel him.

At this moment, the twenty Five Elements Heavenly Dao Great Awakening Golden Immortals also rushed in from behind. When Huo Xiong Daojun saw Shui Nongxing suffer a setback, he muttered "trash" as he passed by her.

These two words, spoken at a moderate pace, fell precisely into Shui Nongxing's ears, instantly enraging him. He turned to look at Huo Xiong Daojun.

Seeing Shui Nongxing's angry gaze, Huo Xiong Daojun couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that? What business is it of yours if I call the other side trash?"

"Useless!" Shui Nongxing cursed at Huo Xiong Daojun as well.

Huo Xiong Daojun immediately glared angrily, and Shui Nongxing retorted, "I'm also cursing the other side, why are you looking at me?"

Huo Xiong Daojun was about to retort when Huo Yun Daojun arrived and stopped him. "Has the True Martial Emperor arrived yet?" Huo Yun Daojun asked.

Upon hearing this, Huo Xiong Daojun and Shui Nongxing both calmed down and immediately looked at Ji Feng Daojun and the others in front of them.

“It seems that the True Martial Emperor is not here,” Shui Nongxing said. “He wasn’t here when I arrived.”

Huoyun Daojun laughed and said, "It seems this person wants to be the one who suffers the consequences."

Shui Nongxing said, "Since that's the case, then I won't make a move first. If he wants to be the oriole, then I'll be the hunter."

"Very good." Huoyun Daojun smiled and said to Shui Nongxing, "Then please stay behind and wait for the True Martial Emperor to appear before you make your move."

Shui Nongxing nodded and said to Huoyun Daojun, "It's rare for you to say such pleasing words. It seems you've made some progress over the years."

Huoyun Daojun's face was full of smiles, showing no sign of anger at all. "Thank you for your praise, fellow Daoist."

As they spoke, a series of loud noises came from ahead, followed by countless strange lights flying up, celestial light splitting open, and waves of magical power rippling outwards, whipping up howling winds that swept across the area.

Huoyun Daojun and Huoxiong Daojun looked up and saw that the other Daojuns had already engaged in battle with the Daojuns of the Wind and Thunder Great World, and the two groups of immortal cultivators below were also fighting.

Then, Daoist Huoyun and Daoist Huoxiong ignored Shui Nongxing and immediately transformed into streaks of fire, rushing forward to join the battle. Shui Nongxing glanced at the battlefield ahead, and then actually retreated to the rear to observe the fight. (End of Chapter)
