I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Xue Baochai tightly protected the five boys around her. She saw that the space-time before her was breaking. The boys showed no fear or apprehension, but just stared wide-eyed at the apocalyptic scene before them.

"Grand Commandant." Xue Baochai saw the figure of the Great Sage Yellow Wind appear in the shattered space-time ahead. The Great Sage Yellow Wind also heard Xue Baochai's call. He turned around and saw Xue Baochai and the others.

At this moment, the shattered spacetime began to scatter. The Great Sage Yellow Wind said something to Xue Baochai, but Xue Baochai couldn't hear it clearly. The spacetime where the Great Sage Yellow Wind was located was covered by other spacetime fragments.

The Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder is collapsing, and the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements is devouring it. Destruction is only a moment away, the True Martial Emperor thought to himself as he looked at the scene before him.

But there was nothing he could do. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal couldn't change the situation, so what could a Great Awakening Golden Immortal do?

Moreover, he could no longer see the two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei, and even the space-time they had just been in had scattered to who-knows-where.

The only ones who know the location of Dao Ancestors Tianfeng and Tianlei are the four Dao Ancestors of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao: Metal, Water, Fire, and Earth. They have firmly locked onto the spacetime where Dao Ancestors Tianfeng and Tianlei are located and will completely suppress them and banish them to eternal silence after an incense stick has burned.

“Old brother,” Tianlei Daozu said, looking at Tianfeng Daozu who was sealed in a fragment of spacetime not far away, “today we are forever silent, and I’m afraid we will never meet again.”

Tianfeng Daozu laughed and said, "It's alright. You and I are immortal and indestructible, and the Great Dao is formless. Who can say what the future holds? We will meet again someday."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "That makes sense." Before he could finish speaking, the immense power emanating from his body intensified several times over.

Then, the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor began to drift into a daze, and even his mind became blurred. He knew that this was a sign that he was about to fall into eternal silence.

The same was true for Tianfeng Daozu on the other side; his mind began to become muddled, and everything in front of him became blurry, dull, and lonely.

Just as the Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor were about to fall into eternal silence, a clear stream suddenly surged into their bodies, instantly restoring their great power and awakening their minds and consciousness.

The two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei, who had suddenly recovered, were bewildered, not knowing what had happened, but the shattered spacetime before them was rapidly being restored under a powerful force.

A moment later, the two suddenly shuddered, and the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor said with a look of astonishment, "It is the Heavenly Dao that is blessing us."

Tianfeng Daozu was also very surprised. The Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao itself was on the verge of collapse, so how could it still have the power to support the two of them?

But that is the truth. The Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder is constantly empowering the two Dao Ancestors, Heavenly Wind and Heavenly Thunder, with the power of its laws, and is also rapidly repairing the shattered spacetime in the world of Wind and Thunder.

The Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor did not know what had happened, but as Great Luo Golden Immortals, they could clearly feel the power of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao recovering.

At the same time, the four Dao Ancestors of the Metal, Water, Fire, and Earth elements also noticed this, but after a brief moment of astonishment, they understood what had happened.

"The will of Heaven has retreated." Jin Xing Daozu said with a puzzled look, "We are only one step away from completely devouring the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder and destroying the mortal world of Wind and Thunder. Why would the will of Heaven retreat at this moment?"

The Fire Dao Ancestor, Water Dao Ancestor, and Earth Dao Ancestor were also completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

But soon a message came from inside the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge and flew into the ears of the four Dao Ancestors. It was a message from the Wood Element Dao Ancestor who guarded the manifestation of the Five Elements.

Upon seeing this message, the four Dao Ancestors of the Metal, Earth, Water, and Fire elements all changed their expressions drastically. Without hesitation, they withdrew from the Wind and Thunder Realm and returned to the Five Elements Realm via the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge.

With the departure of the four Dao Ancestors of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, Dao Ancestors Tianfeng and Tianlei immediately felt no pressure.

However, they did not pursue them at all, but instead began to help the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao repair the broken spacetime and heaven and earth.

At this moment, the True Martial Emperor saw the two Dao Ancestors, Tianfeng and Tianlei, again. He first bowed and then asked, "Two Dao Ancestors, it seems that something changed just now?"

Tianfeng Daozu said, "The will of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao and the four Dao Ancestors of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao have all retreated."

The True Martial Emperor was puzzled when he heard this. "Why retreat suddenly?" If he retreated to the Five Elements Heavenly Dao at this time, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

“We don’t know either,” said Tianlei Daozu. “But we can guess that something big must have happened in the Five Elements’ appearance.”

Emperor Zhenwu nodded. Just then, Daoist Jifeng arrived with great excitement. He first paid his respects to Emperor Zhenwu, and then stepped forward to bow to Dao Ancestors Tianfeng and Tianlei, saying, "Reporting to the two Dao Ancestors, the immortal cultivators of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao are retreating."

"They retreated too?" Dao Ancestor Tianfeng was extremely surprised.

The Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that something really big has happened in the world of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao."

The True Martial Emperor pondered, "Could it be that another Heavenly Dao is attacking the Five Elements Heavenly Dao?"

The eyes of Dao Ancestors Tianfeng and Tianlei lit up, and they immediately nodded, both feeling that this was highly likely.

Daoist Jifeng asked, "Should we give chase? And capture some Five Elements Heavenly Dao Immortal Cultivators along the way?"

“No,” said the Heavenly Thunder Ancestor. “Although we do not know why the people of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao retreated, the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao has not yet regained control over the entire mortal world. Do not pursue them rashly.”

Daoist Jifeng bowed and replied, "Yes."

Tianfeng Daojun then said to Jifeng Daojun, "Pass on our decree, ordering all wind and thunder creatures in the world to immediately rest and recover."

Daoist Jifeng bowed and said, "I accept the decree."

After Daoist Jifeng departed, Emperor Zhenwu also bid farewell to Dao Ancestors Tianfeng and Tianlei, and then returned to the lower realm.

The Great Sage Huang Feng was gathering and counting the remaining generals of Zhang Tianying when he discovered that only 688 remained.

At this moment, the True Martial Emperor descended upon this place. The Great Sage Huangfeng, along with his deputy generals Li Ji and Xie Xuan, military advisor Xue Baochai, and the 688 divine generals, hurriedly bowed and paid their respects, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The True Martial Emperor raised his hand in a gesture of support and said, "Rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone rose to their feet, and then the Great Sage Huangfeng asked, "Your Majesty, just now it seemed that the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder was about to be destroyed?"

The True Martial Emperor nodded and said, "Yes."

The Great Sage Huang Feng frowned and asked, "Why did all the people of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao suddenly retreat?"

Huang Feng recalled the way those Five Elements Heavenly Dao Immortal Cultivators retreated. Their faces were filled with astonishment and panic as they fled like a tide without the slightest hesitation.

The True Martial Emperor said, "I don't know. The two Dao Ancestors, Wind and Thunder, guessed that something big must have happened within the Five Elements Heavenly Dao."

Huang Feng and the others nodded, then revealed smiles of relief at surviving a calamity.

Lieutenant Li Ji patted his chest and said, "Hey, I thought we were going to die this time, but I didn't expect to survive."

Xie Xuan, looking as if he had just realized something, said, "There won't be many things that can frighten me anymore."

Xue Baochai wore a smile. Although she had not yet achieved complete enlightenment, her mindset and state of mind were no longer the same as before after experiencing this ordeal.

At this moment, the True Martial Emperor said, "The people of the Five Elements Heavenly Path have all retreated. Now you should rest as soon as possible."

Huang Feng and the others immediately bowed and said, "As you command."

The Five Elements Heavenly Dao retreated extremely thoroughly this time, and soon all of them withdrew from the Heavenly Domain to which the original Wind and Thunder Manifested.

Although the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder suffered great losses this time and was unable to regain control over all the mortal realms it originally belonged to, Heavenly Dao Ancestor Tianfeng still decided to risk going to Chaos in the face of the complete retreat of the Heavenly Dao of Five Elements.

After making an agreement with Tianlei Daozu, Tianfeng Daozu unleashed his immense power, appeared at the World Gate, and entered the Chaos.

Within the chaos, all was still a desolate void, and the chaotic energy surged and churned as usual.

But when Daozu Tianfeng glanced into the distance, his eyes widened instantly as he witnessed an extremely magnificent and spectacular scene.

In the midst of chaos, a long, celestial bridge stretched out from the distance, passing directly beside the world of wind and thunder, and extending all the way towards the location of the world of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao.

Tianfeng Daozu's eyes widened, filled with shock. He trembled all over, thinking, "So it is so! There really is another Heavenly Dao attacking the Five Elements Heavenly Dao."

Tianfeng Daozu immediately released his great power, wanting to get closer to the Heavenly Bridge of Gold to investigate carefully. As soon as his great power got close, he saw a scene that shocked and excited him.

Within the Heavenly Bridge, countless divine generals resembling Zhang Tianying marched forward in orderly ranks, their divine banners fluttering and their bearing awe-inspiring.

"It's the Heavenly Dao of Pangu!" Dao Ancestor Tianfeng exclaimed in surprise. "They didn't build the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge to the Manifestation of Wind and Thunder; they directly connected the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge to the Five Elements Heavenly Dao!"

Without further hesitation, Dao Ancestor Tianfeng immediately withdrew his power and returned to the Wind and Thunder Great World. Upon seeing Dao Ancestor Tianlei, he burst into laughter three times. Dao Ancestor Tianlei breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Dao Ancestor Tianfeng return safely, but seeing him laugh so heartily, he asked in surprise, "Why are you so happy? Have you found out what happened?"

Tianfeng Daozu laughed and said, "Fellow Daoists of Pangu Heavenly Dao are indeed powerful."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor was first taken aback, then exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be that..."

“That’s right!” Tianfeng Daozu nodded and said, “Pangu Heavenly Dao built the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge directly to the Five Elements Heavenly Dao. At this moment, countless divine generals are continuously passing through the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge to head towards the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, which is why the people of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao are retreating in such a hurry.”

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Tianlei burst into excited laughter, "So that's how it is! So that's how it is!" Dao Ancestor Tianlei clapped his hands repeatedly, "So that's why they retreated at the last minute!"

After saying that, Tianlei Daozu looked at Tianfeng Daozu: "Then we should immediately go to support our fellow Daoists who are assisting Pangu Tiandao?"

“No.” Dao Ancestor Tianfeng waved his hand and said, “Our Fenglei Heavenly Dao does not have the Boundless Heavenly Divine Bridge. The only Boundless Heavenly Divine Bridge that is connected to the Five Elements Manifestation World belongs to the Five Elements Heavenly Dao. It would be of no use to you or me in the past.”

At this point, Tianfeng Daozu pondered for a moment and said, "We just need to guard the appearance of wind and thunder in the world and wait for people from Pangu Heavenly Dao to come and contact us."

After a moment's thought, Tianlei Daozu nodded and said, "Alright, let's do it that way then. However, we must inform Zhenwu Emperor and Zhang Tianying about this matter."

“It’s not just them,” Tianfeng Daozu said with a smile. “This news should be told to all living beings in the Fenglei mortal realm.”

After speaking, the Heavenly Wind Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Thunder Dao Ancestor joined forces to send down the heavenly secret, bringing this message into the mortal world. All cultivators within the Heavenly Wind and Thunder mortal world could clearly see this heavenly secret.

Upon receiving this divine revelation, the three remaining Dao Lords of Wind and Thunder—Dao Lord of Extreme Wind, Dao Lord of Gale Wind, and Dao Lord of Thunderclap—stood up in excitement. The Immortal Lords below, upon receiving the divine revelation, laughed heartily, only to burst into tears.

As for the immortal cultivators below, as well as the ordinary beings and cultivators who witnessed the appearance of wind and thunder, they showed the purest joy after learning of this heavenly secret and news.

The surviving creatures of the Wind and Thunder World beat drums and gongs, spreading the news far and wide, and gathering in twos and threes to celebrate joyfully.

The once gloomy and desolate world of Fenglei is now filled with joy and celebration.

Inside Zhang Tian's camp, the Great Sage Huang Feng took out all the remaining supplies to reward all the divine generals and held a banquet in the camp to celebrate.

The True Martial Emperor also showed a long-lost smile. He had fulfilled his mission, and the soldiers of Zhang Tianying in front of him had also fulfilled their mission.

"Everyone, drink as you please." Emperor Zhenwu raised his wine cup and said with a smile, "I hereby decree that the entire camp shall be given a month-long leave to drink to our hearts' content and not return until we are drunk."

Upon hearing this, all the gods raised their wine cups and bowed to the True Martial Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, we respectfully offer you a toast."

The True Martial Emperor responded to the toasts from his generals, raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp. The generals below also drank their cups in return.

The scene then became somewhat chaotic. With the decree of the True Martial Emperor, everyone had no more reservations and began to drink freely.

Even Xue Baochai, who usually doesn't drink, drank one cup after another until she was completely drunk and collapsed on the spot.

Just as the world was filled with celebration at the appearance of wind and thunder, the world of the Five Elements was shrouded in war clouds and gloom.

Hongjun Daozu looked at Muxing Daozu before him with a smile and said, "Muxing Daozu, do you still remember this humble Daoist?"

Mu Xing Dao Zu looked at Hong Jun Dao Zu with a deep gaze and slowly said, "So you escaped to Pangu Heavenly Dao, and now you've brought people from Pangu Heavenly Dao to avenge Xuanfa Heavenly Dao?"

Hongjun Daozu laughed and said, "It's not wrong to say that you want revenge, but you're wrong about one thing: I am now a member of the Pangu Heavenly Dao."

"Oh?" Mu Xing Dao Zu said with a sneer, "I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would have forgotten your own roots. It's just that it's rare that the people of Pangu Heavenly Dao dared to take you in. Aren't they afraid that you will turn the tables?"

Hongjun Daozu smiled and said, "Such a low-level attempt at provocation is useless."

"You saw right through me." Dao Ancestor Mu Xing's gaze skipped over Dao Ancestor Hong Jun and looked behind him, where two more figures appeared in the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge.

The man was dressed in a 'Twenty-Four Heavens Mysterious Robe', wearing a 'Twelve-Tassel Heavenly Venerable Crown' and a 'Zhou Tian Jade Bucket Treasure Belt'. The Wood Path Ancestor recognized him as the Divine Firmament Emperor who had appeared before.

The other person was dressed simply, wearing only a white monk's robe, but at his feet was a large golden lotus platform radiating countless rays of light, and behind his head was a halo of immeasurable Buddha light.

The Wood Dao Ancestor looked puzzled and bowed to the monk, saying, "May I ask how this Dao Ancestor is addressed?"

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Not the Dao Ancestor, but the Buddha Ancestor."

The Buddha smiled slightly, then clasped his hands together and bowed to the Wood-Walking Ancestor, saying, "This humble monk, Shakyamuni, greets the Wood-Walking Ancestor."

Mu Xing Dao Zu asked with some confusion, "Buddha? Does your Pangu Heavenly Dao have so many different titles for Great Luo Golden Immortals? Why not use a unified title?"

Zhuang Yan said, "Let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. My Pangu Heavenly Dao embraces all rivers and seas, which is beyond your comprehension."

At this point, Zhuang Yan looked at the Wood Dao Ancestor and said, "What? Are you the only one guarding the Five Elements Heavenly Dao? Even the Heavenly Dao is somewhat incomplete?"

The Wood Dao Ancestor's heart sank, but his face showed no change. He simply smiled and said, "So what? Even so, my Five Elements Heavenly Dao is not something you can covet."

"That's hard to say," Zhuang Yan said with a calm smile.

The next moment, the immense power of Pangu's Heavenly Dao surged through the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge and instantly enveloped the Five Elements Heavenly Dao.

The Five Elements Heavenly Dao responded immediately, unleashing boundless power that instantly clashed with and eroded the power of the Pangu Heavenly Dao.

However, the power of Pangu's Heavenly Dao exceeded the expectations of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, and actually put enormous pressure on the Five Elements Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, the Five Elements Heavenly Dao immediately began to retract the half of the great power that was devouring and eroding the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, which led to the scene of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao's will retreating in the appearance of Wind and Thunder.

Subsequently, the Wood Dao Ancestor sent a message through the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge to the Fire, Metal, Earth, and Water Dao Ancestors, urging them to return quickly to provide assistance.

But as soon as Dao Ancestor Mu Xing sent out this message, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's great power immediately pressed down through the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge.

The Wood Element Dao Ancestor was not afraid at all. As the head of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao Ancestors and the Wood Element Dao Ancestor, his power was extremely magnificent and boundless. He released his power and rammed forward, directly pushing back the power of the Hongjun Dao Ancestor.

The Buddha Tathagata flew forward on his Great Golden Lotus Platform, made a gesture of holding up a flower with his finger, and his whole body shone with great Buddhist light. His great power surged out instantly and directly collided with the great power of the Wood Element Ancestor.

In an instant, the power of the Wood Element Dao Ancestor was quickly pushed back, almost pushed back outside the Five Elements Heavenly Dao Realm Gate.

The Wood Dao Ancestor's expression turned solemn, and his gaze instantly fell upon the Buddha. He thought to himself, "This person possesses boundless power and light, magnificent and vast yet not aggressive. Instead, he exudes a sense of compassion and kindness, truly extraordinary."

But the Wood Dao Ancestor quickly realized something was wrong. "Oh no, he can convert my power?"

To the astonishment of Mu Xing Dao Zu, Shakyamuni's great power could be transformed into a mysterious and unfamiliar force without anyone noticing.

After this power was transformed, it was not absorbed by Shakyamuni, but remained as his own great power.

However, this transformed power can no longer be used to attack others; it simply remains passively within him.

The Wood Dao Ancestor was greatly alarmed. He immediately used his great power to eliminate the transformed power, then formed a hand seal and shouted, "Withdraw."

In an instant, the power of the Wood Path Ancestor shone brightly and quickly began to absorb the power of Shakyamuni and Hongjun Dao Ancestor.

The aura of the Wood Dao Ancestor began to surge, continuously refining and absorbing the great power of Shakyamuni and Hongjun Dao Ancestor. Then, he once again gave a soft shout: "Release."

'boom'

A powerful force rippled out from the chaos, and Hongjun Daozu was instantly forced back millions of miles by the power of Muxing Daozu. His own power was also forced back by Muxing Daozu.

The Buddha clasped his hands together, his body radiating the vastness of Buddhist teachings and surging with immense power, directly withstanding the attack of the Wood Element Ancestor.

The Wood Dao Ancestor's heart sank, and he became even more wary of the Tathagata Buddha.

At this very moment, the four Dao Ancestors of the Metal, Earth, Fire, and Water elements finally returned to the Five Elements Realm and came here to support the Wood Dao Ancestor.

Upon seeing the appearance of the four Dao Ancestors representing Metal, Earth, Fire, and Water, Zhuang Yan, who had remained silent until now, immediately stepped forward, stood with his hands behind his back, and stared intently at the five Dao Ancestors. (End of Chapter)
