I am a fairy in Journey to the West
Chapter 714 Omens of Destruction
The sky was filled with wind and thunder, and all that could be seen was yellow sand and scattered rocks, broken walls and jagged stones.
Among the buildings buried in loess, there is a reed hut. Although the hut is small, it has its own domain that can isolate it from the raging wind and thunder and the endless yellow sand.
Ten divine generals, clad in eight-treasure armor and wearing seven-treasure swords at their waists, sat inside a reed hut, with a row of jade palanquins behind them.
Each jade palanquin had a person lying on it, and a stick of incense was burning in front of the row of palanquins.
When the incense stick burned out, the ten divine generals stepped forward, took out the purple coins, refined them into acquired purple energy, and used their magic to send it under the noses of the people on the palanquin.
Then the acquired purple energy automatically entered his body. After doing all this, a divine general took out a stick of incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner.
Upon witnessing this scene, one of the divine generals remarked, "This feels like offering incense to the dead."
Upon hearing this, another deity pointed at the incense burner and said, "Then why don't you come over and kowtow three times?"
Upon hearing this, the divine general chuckled and said, "You think I wouldn't dare to kowtow?"
After saying this, he took a step and knelt down in front of the incense burner. He clasped his hands together and said to the people lying on the ten-foot-long jade palanquin, "Everyone, I, Jiang Shanqing, kowtow to you. Please wake up quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shanqing actually kowtowed three times on the spot, then stood up and said to the other generals around him, "What? I kowtowed."
Just as Jiang Shanqing finished speaking, the person on the central jade palanquin suddenly moved. Jiang Shanqing was startled and immediately looked towards the palanquin.
Then the woman on the palanquin sat up abruptly, opened her eyes, and stared blankly at everything before her.
"Huh? This is possible?" The other nine generals were all astonished, uttering sounds of disbelief.
Once they saw who had woken up on the palanquin, they immediately stepped forward, cupped their hands, and bowed, saying, "Commander."
Xue Baochai blinked, stared intently at the ten divine generals before her for a moment, and then said somewhat hesitantly, "Jiang Shanqing? Wang Zhengxuan? You?"
As she spoke, Xue Baochai turned to step down from the palanquin and stand up, but when she braced herself on the bed with her right hand and tried to prop herself up with her left, she swayed and fell down.
Xue Baochai stood there stunned for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. When she finally came to her senses, her gaze fell on her left side: "Where is my left arm?"
Wang Zhengxuan said, "Commander, twenty-eight years ago, during the battle in the first Wind and Thunder Realm behind the Heavenly Gate, you were seriously injured. Your left arm was shattered by the self-destruction of a Water Clan immortal cultivator."
"..." Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses and exclaimed in shock, "What did you say? Twenty-eight years ago?"
Wang Zhengxuan nodded and said, "Yes, Canjun, you have been in a coma for twenty-eight years."
"Twenty-eight years?!?" Xue Baochai struggled to her feet with her one arm, and Jiang Shanqing quickly went to help her up.
After standing up, Xue Baochai felt a little dizzy and her feet were difficult to move. She knew what the problem was, so she tried to circulate her magic power and then clear her blood and qi.
Xue Baochai quickly regained her mobility and strength. After leaving Jiang Shanqing, she tried to take a few steps and, finding no problems, walked all the way to the entrance of the thatched hut.
Xue Baochai reached out and lifted the door. Instantly, a sudden gust of wind swept across the land, followed by a vast yellow wind. All that could be seen was desolation. The ground was covered with sand and stones, as well as sections of ruins half-buried by the yellow sand.
"Where is this?" Xue Baochai asked.
Jiang Shanqing said, "Military advisor, this is the Wind and Thunder Immortal Palace."
"Where?" Xue Baochai turned to look at Jiang Shanqing, then at the yellow sand, rocks, and ruins outside. "Where do you think this is?"
Jiang Shanqing added, "It is the Wind and Thunder Immortal Palace."
Xue Baochai stood there blankly, looking at the desolate and dilapidated scene outside. She found it hard to compare this place with the magnificent and beautiful Fenglei Immortal Palace. "When I was sent from Wuding Realm to Fenglei Great World, they greeted me at Fenglei Immortal Palace. This place is different from the Fenglei Immortal Palace in my memory."
“Things have changed.” Jiang Shanqing said, “In the tenth year of your coma, the Ninefold Wind and Thunder Realm defense line collapsed completely, and Daoist Yu Lei perished.”
"In the fifteenth year of your coma, the 'Left Hundred Thousand Continents' of the Wind and Thunder Great World fell. In the eighteenth year, the 'Right Hundred Thousand Continents' fell, in the twenty-first year, the 'Upper Hundred Thousand Continents' fell, and in the twenty-second year, the 'Lower Hundred Thousand Continents' fell."
"We are now in the 'Zhongbaiqianzhou', which is the place where the Fenglei Immortal Palace was located in the past."
Xue Baochai took a deep breath and said, "So that means that the people of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao have now occupied four-fifths of the Wind and Thunder Great World?"
“Yes,” Jiang Shanqing said. “It should be said that it is two-thirds of the entire Fenglei Heavenly Dao. As long as this Zhongbaiqian Continent falls, the entire Fenglei Heavenly Dao will be completely destroyed.”
Xue Baochai continued, "What happened twenty-two years later?"
Jiang Shanqing said, "In the twenty-third year, Daoist Yuan Lei also perished, leaving only six-tenths of the Feng Lei Heavenly Dao's power. Under the reduction of its power, by the twenty-fourth year, the Five Elements Heavenly Dao had gained an absolute advantage over the Feng Lei Heavenly Dao and devoured forty percent of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao's laws. The Five Elements Heavenly Dao was suppressed within the Feng Lei Great World and could no longer cover the entire Feng Lei Heavenly Dao's present world."
"From the twenty-fifth to the twenty-seventh year, the two Dao Ancestors, Wind and Thunder, were defeated in their battle against the four Dao Ancestors, Metal, Fire, Water, and Earth. Together with the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, they retreated to the Middle Hundred Thousand Continents. The number of Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao members decreased by another ten percent, and now only fifty percent remains." Jiang Shanqing sighed as he said this.
Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai murmured, "And what about twenty-seven years from now?"
Jiang Shanqing said, "Starting from the twenty-seventh year, the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder and the two Dao Ancestors of Wind and Thunder led all living beings in the world of Wind and Thunder to defend Zhongbaiqianzhou to the death. Only now can Canjun see the scene outside. It is the result of the war over the years. Zhongbaiqianzhou has exhausted all its fortune and resources in just one year. Now, not even a blade of grass can grow here."
Xue Baochai asked, "What about His Majesty the True Martial Emperor and the Grand Commandant?"
"Oh." Jiang Shanqing smiled and said, "His Majesty and the Grand Commandant are well." Upon hearing the name of the True Martial Emperor, the solemn expressions of the generals present immediately eased. "The Five Elements Heavenly Dao is nothing more than relying on their numbers. They have brought in six Great Awakening Golden Immortals who cultivate the Five Elements together. They only keep an eye on His Majesty. They don't make a move unless His Majesty makes one, and they surround him as soon as His Majesty makes a move. Therefore, His Majesty has often had to deal with them over the years, and they have tied down a lot of his power."
Xue Baochai was helpless when she heard this. There was really nothing she could do. What could she do when the Five Elements Heavenly Dao people were so numerous?
"But..." Jiang Shanqing abruptly changed the subject, uttering these two words. Xue Baochai's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "But what?"
Jiang Shanqing sighed and said, "But my Zhang Tianying has suffered heavy losses over the years. Now, including us, we only have 926 soldiers left."
Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai felt a pang of pain in her heart. These people were by no means strangers to her; on the contrary, after fighting side by side so many times, they were already like brothers and sisters to her.
Moreover, they are the kind of brothers and sisters you can entrust your back to, and even entrust with your affairs after death.
But after her grief subsided, Xue Baochai immediately raised her head and said to Jiang Shanqing, "I want to see the Grand Commandant."
Xue Baochai met the Great Sage Yellow Wind in a reed hut at the forefront of Zhongbaiqianzhou.
"I was so happy to hear you've woken up." The Great Sage Huang Feng handed Xue Baochai a cup of spiritual tea. "There's not much spiritual tea left from our hometown. Every cup we drink is one less cup available."
Xue Baochai picked up her teacup and looked at the wisps of steam rising from it, her eyes welling up with tears.
She took a small sip of tea, then put down the teacup and took out a tea caddy from her magical treasure. "Grand Commandant, I still have some spiritual tea here."
The Great Sage Huang Feng took the tea canister and glanced at it, exclaiming in surprise, "This is Heavenly Osmanthus Tea from the Moon Palace? How do you have such a fine thing?"
Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Grand Commandant, is this tea very precious?"
The Great Sage Huang Feng said, "Before I came to the world of wind and thunder, this tea cost one hundred and thirty-six purple coins per tael."
Xue Baochai was immediately speechless. One tael costs 136 purple coins. This can of tea probably weighs about one jin, which would cost 1,360 purple coins.
Even though her Xue family was a well-known and wealthy clan in the Southern Continent, the spiritual tea her grandfather Xue Ding drank was only Maoshan Baoqing Tea, which cost seventy-two purple coins per ounce.
"These are the supplies that the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm prepared for me before I came to the world of Wind and Thunder," Xue Baochai said.
Huang Feng Dasheng suddenly realized and laughed, "Then it's not surprising. When the Divine Firmament Emperor was an official, he was on good terms with the Taiyin Star Lord of the Guanghan Palace. Every year, the Taiyin Star Lord would give him immortal pills and spiritual tea, not to mention the annual tribute he receives now."
Xue Baochai felt somewhat embarrassed whenever she thought about this. The things she said and did when she was summoned to Fenglei Xianshi to gather information seemed incredibly childish now.
The people she once hated, such as Guan Yu, Erlang Shen, and Huo Ling Zhenxian, have now become the most revered gods in her heart.
She admired their foresight and foresight. If the Heavenly Court and the various deities had not actively prepared for the encounter between the Heavenly Paths, the Pangu Heavenly Path would not have been as composed as it is today, and might have ended up like the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Path before her.
Xue Baochai took out all the Tian Gui tea from the Mustard Seed Magic Treasure, keeping only ten cans for herself and giving the rest to the Great Sage Yellow Wind.
"Grand Commandant, these Osmanthus Tea leaves can be distributed to all our comrades-in-arms," Xue Baochai said.
The Great Sage Huang Feng laughed heartily and said, "Good, with this, everyone's morale will be even higher."
So the Great Sage Huang Feng distributed all the Heavenly Osmanthus Tea, and each of the Zhang Tianying generals received about a pound.
This certainly boosts morale. At a time when resources in Zhongbaiqianzhou are depleted, having the Heavenly Osmanthus Spirit Tea picked from Guanghan Palace is an enjoyment that ordinary things cannot compare to.
But despite the enjoyment, the situation continued to deteriorate, with the power of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao constantly suppressing the power of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, which was huddled in the Central Hundred Thousand Continents. The four Dao Ancestors of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao also launched an attack on the Wind and Thunder Dao Ancestors, this time vowing to suppress the Wind and Thunder Dao Ancestors and banish them into eternal silence.
As for the millions of immortal cultivators of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, they have continuously infiltrated the Central Hundred Thousand Continents, launching attacks from all directions.
Even in this critical moment, Xue Baochai, though she only had one right arm left, still managed to request a set of Eight Treasures Armor and a Seven Treasures Sword from the Great Sage Yellow Wind.
"I still have one arm, and I can still wield a knife to kill enemies," Xue Baochai said to the Great Sage Yellow Wind with a firm gaze.
Seeing this, the Great Sage Huang Feng said nothing more and immediately distributed the equipment to Xue Baochai.
After receiving the equipment, Xue Baochai quickly threw herself into the war to defend Zhongbaiqianzhou, but the more than nine hundred divine generals were already a drop in the ocean in defending the entire Zhongbaiqianzhou.
Three days later, Xue Baochai killed three Earth Element Clan immortal cultivators who had entered Zhongbaiqianzhou. When she looked up, she saw the True Martial Emperor fighting against six Great Awakening Golden Immortals of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao in the sky.
Among the six Five Elements Heavenly Dao Great Awakening Golden Immortals, Xue Baochai saw a familiar face, which was none other than the Dao Lord Mu Hengyi.
Just as Jiang Shanqing said, the True Martial Emperor did not fall into a disadvantageous position when fighting against six opponents, but he also did not have any advantage. The six Great Awakening Golden Immortals of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao did not fight him to the death, nor did they reveal any flaws. They simply held him back.
"This divine general." A childish voice rang out from the side. Xue Baochai withdrew her gaze from the battle in the sky and looked back, but she saw no one.
Xue Baochai then shifted her gaze downwards and immediately saw five boys and girls, dressed in tattered clothes but with childlike faces. They were about eleven or twelve years old, and each of them was holding various weapons.
Xue Baochai asked in surprise, "How did you get here?" This was not a place they should be.
But the girl in the lead said, "We are here on orders to wipe out the Five Elements Immortal Cultivators."
Xue Baochai was taken aback when she heard this. She carefully scanned the five young men in front of her and found that none of them had become immortals.
“You’re purging the Five Elements Immortals? But none of you have even become immortals,” Xue Baochai said.
The girl in the lead said, "We can deplete their power. My brother once helped a celestial master kill a Five Elements Immortal."
Xue Baochai asked, "Is your brother a cultivator?"
"At that time, he didn't become an immortal either; he was only two years older than me." The girl spoke of her brother with pride.
Xue Baochai then asked, "Where is your brother?"
The girl's proud face suddenly turned gloomy. She sobbed softly and said, "He died right then and there, leaving only a handful of ashes. It was that fire-elemental immortal cultivator he was entangled with who burned him to death."
Xue Baochai felt a lump in her throat. She also had an older brother, but he was just a spoiled brat.
Xue Baochai immediately stepped forward and hugged the girl in her arms. Then she looked at the four people behind the girl. There were three men and one woman. One of the boys had sunken eyes, and the girl next to him was holding his hand.
Xue Baochai quickly asked, "Where are your eyes?"
The girl holding the boy's hand said, "His eyes were swept by the powerful wind of a sword aura released by a cultivator from the Metal element clan, and he was instantly blown into mincemeat."
Xue Baochai felt a chill in her heart. Looking at the boy's calm face, she felt even more bitter and heartbroken.
Xue Baochai pulled the boy into her arms as well, and after a moment said to them, "You should go back. Those immortal cultivators are far beyond your ability to deal with."
But the boy shook his head and said, "If we don't go back, the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder will be destroyed. Even if we go back and hide, we will still die."
The girl in the lead said, "Everyone is resisting. Nine days ago, even a toddler who had just learned to walk threw a pebble at a cultivator of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao. We can take out our swords!" As she spoke, she waved the Qinggang short sword in her hand.
Xue Baochai fell into a long silence. The situation of the wind and thunder appearing in the world had collapsed to this point, and the beings that had appeared in the wind and thunder had begun their most desperate resistance.
Yes, hiding is pointless. As long as the Five Elements Heavenly Dao wins, the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao will be completely destroyed, and the living beings in the world affected by Wind and Thunder will have no chance of survival.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai suddenly stood up and said, "Alright, from now on I will be your captain, and you will fight alongside me, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, the five boys were immediately thrilled. The girl in the lead exclaimed happily, "That's great! We definitely won't hold you back!"
Xue Baochai felt a lump in her throat, but she suppressed her emotions and simply said in a low voice, "It's alright, just follow behind me."
The Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor had lost their former vigor. The two before them were withered and emaciated, like two old men on the verge of death.
And the reality was quite similar; their power could no longer be sustained. The Dao Ancestors of Metal, Water, Earth, and Fire were not far above them, suppressing their power more and more intensely.
"The Heavenly Dao is extremely weak and can no longer hold on." The Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor discovered that he could no longer obtain any more power from the laws of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Thunder Ancestor did not speak, but simply lowered his head and looked down at the Hundred Continents below, where all the remaining living beings of the Wind and Thunder Manifestation appeared before his eyes.
After a moment, the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor said, "In the end, the two of us failed to protect the living beings in this world where the Heavenly Dao has manifested."
Tianfeng Daozu said, "We have failed them, and we have failed the fellow Daoists of Pangu Heavenly Dao even more."
The two Dao Ancestors understood that once they were suppressed and entered eternal silence, not only would the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao be destroyed and all living beings in the Wind and Thunder world perish, but even these immortal cultivators of the Pangu Heavenly Dao would not escape death.
"Just one more year." The Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor looked up at the world beyond the Wind and Thunder Manifestation. "The Pangu Heavenly Dao's Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge will be able to connect with my Wind and Thunder Manifestation. Unfortunately, we won't be able to hold out until that day."
As soon as the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor finished speaking, the power of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao was instantly devoured by 30% by the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, and the power of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao instantly shrank by 3 million miles towards the center of the Central Hundred Thousand Continents.
The contraction of three million miles was terrifying. Tens of millions of living beings in the world lost their protection and were instantly submerged in the magic power and attacks of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao Immortal Cultivators.
The less the number of the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder, the weaker its power becomes. The weaker its power, the more it needs to shrink. The more it shrinks, the less it can protect its living beings. The more living beings in the world die, the weaker the number of the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder becomes. This is an unsolvable vicious cycle.
With the weakening of the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder, even the two Dao Ancestors, Heavenly Wind and Heavenly Thunder, could no longer receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, let alone the True Martial Emperor who only had Dao talismans.
At this point, the talisman was almost useless, and even the True Martial Emperor could not hold on under the attack of the six Great Awakening Golden Immortals of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao.
'boom'
A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out in the sky, and the Demon-Slaying Sword of the True Martial Emperor was shattered under the fierce attack of the six Great Awakening Golden Immortals.
This shattering completely destroyed the Demon-Slaying Sword, and the True Martial Emperor instantly lost his weapon of enlightenment.
The True Martial Emperor then summoned the Mysterious Jade Tablet, but it only lasted for half a month before collapsing under the attack of six Great Awakening Golden Immortals who cultivated the Five Elements.
The next six Great Awakening Golden Immortals launched an even fiercer attack on the True Martial Emperor. The True Martial Emperor was seriously injured, and just when he was in critical condition, he was swept away by a mysterious wind and disappeared without a trace.
The six Great Awakening Golden Immortals of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao were taken aback, then realized, "It's Dao Ancestor Tianfeng."
A moment later, the heavily injured Zhenwu Emperor appeared before the two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei. Upon seeing the two Dao Ancestors, he immediately stood up and paid his respects.
Tianfeng Daozu stopped Zhenwu Dadi and said, "Fenglei Tiandao is about to be destroyed. Thank you for the support of Pangu Tiandao. Please take the gratitude of the two of us and all the living beings of Fenglei back to Pangu Tiandao."
Upon hearing this, the True Martial Emperor immediately understood something. "Two Dao Ancestors, what is this?"
The Heavenly Thunder Ancestor said, "We still have some great power left, enough to send you out of the Wind and Thunder Manifestation World. If you are lucky, you will be discovered by the fellow Daoists of Pangu Heavenly Dao and connected to the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge before our great power is annihilated by chaos."
Tianfeng Daozu said, "But those divine generals of Zhang Tianying cannot leave with you. Our strength is insufficient to send you all out."
Upon hearing this, the True Martial Emperor's gaze sharpened, and he immediately and decisively refused, saying, "No need."
After saying this, he cupped his hands in a salute and said, "Thank you for your kindness, two Dao Ancestors. I will live and die with the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder."
Upon hearing this, Tianfeng Daozu and Tianlei Daozu were taken aback. After exchanging a glance, they looked at Zhenwu Emperor and said, "There isn't much time left. Please think it over carefully."
“There’s no need to consider it,” the True Martial Emperor said decisively. “My mind is made up.”
Upon hearing this, the two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei, sighed slightly, their hearts filled with countless emotions. Just as they were about to speak, their expressions suddenly changed in unison: "The Great Dao of Heaven is about to collapse."
As soon as the two finished speaking, suddenly, the entire space covered by the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder began to tremble, distort, and become chaotic. All laws, primordial energy, and power were collapsing and distorting, and time and space began to become extremely chaotic.
But before the two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei, could react, the immense power of the four Dao Ancestors of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao pressed down on them.
The True Martial Emperor stood there, watching helplessly as the space-time before him began to collapse, and as the two Dao Ancestors, Heavenly Wind and Heavenly Thunder, were submerged by the great power of the four elements: metal, water, fire, and earth.
The four Dao Ancestors—Gold, Water, Fire, and Earth—are suppressing the two Dao Ancestors, Heavenly Wind and Heavenly Thunder, who are slowly fading into eternal silence. (End of Chapter)
