I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Five hours passed quickly. An hour earlier, Sun Wukong had sent someone to the Intelligence Bureau to check with Fairy Disenchantment again, which meant checking with Lin Daiyu on the other side.

Everything proceeded as scheduled, and just half an hour earlier, the Yilutian Bow, which had been bombarding the area for seven hours, finally stopped.

The eyes of Duobao Shanjian Bodhisattva, Peacock King Bodhisattva, Nezha, Tiger Vanguard, Chi Ling and others instantly became sharp and bright. They all raised their heads at the same time and turned their gazes toward Sun Wukong.

But Sun Wukong did not make any move; he simply looked up at the sky in silence.

The impatient Nezha couldn't stand it any longer and asked Sun Wukong, "Didn't we say we'd attack in five hours? Give the order now!"

Sun Wukong simply smiled and glanced at Nezha, then remained silent and continued to look up at the sky.

Meanwhile, within the Golden Sea defense line outside the Lingbai Realm, the Yilu Heavenly Bows deployed in various locations were retreating to the rear of the Golden Sea defense line.

The immortal lords at each defensive line were directing the retreat of the Yilutian Bow and occasionally recording the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation outside the Lingbai Realm below.

“There’s not much difference between today and yesterday,” a celestial lord said as he walked over.

The immortal lord here nodded and said, "We've been bombing it continuously for a month, seven hours a day. This Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation really is a tortoise shell."

The immortal lord on the other side laughed and said, "There's always a time when a tortoise shell can be cracked. The Dao Lords have already sent people to invite the Dao Lord of the Earth Element Immortal Mansion. As long as the Dao Lord of the Earth Element Immortal Mansion arrives, this tortoise shell can be cracked."

This was an experience from the time when the wind and thunder appeared in the world; Zhang Tianying's Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation was broken by the magic power of the Earth Element Immortal Lord.

The Immortal Lord said, "Once we break this Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, we can advance to reclaim the Spirit Cypress Realm, and then seal the exit of the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge. My Five Elements Manifestation will then be able to gain the initiative in the confrontation with Pangu Manifestation."

The Immortal Lord nodded and said, "Not bad." He glanced at his own defensive line and then said, "The Yilu Heavenly Bows have all been withdrawn to the rear. I'll head back now."

The immortal master here laughed and said, "Alright, go ahead."

The Immortal Lord turned around and returned to his defensive line. But just as he returned to his post, a gate suddenly opened in the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation of the Spirit Cypress Realm below.

Upon seeing this, the immortal lord quickly reacted and immediately raised his hand to unleash a beam of immortal light.

The celestial light flew to the top of the realm and exploded, scattering into a huge golden cloud that could be seen from all directions.

As soon as the signal was sent, all six million immortal cultivators of the Golden Sea Defense Line knew that the Pangu Immortal Cultivator from the Spirit Cypress Realm had gone into battle, and the entire Golden Sea Defense Line quickly sprang into action.

However, in this boundless Golden Sea defense line, a Vermilion Bird flag suddenly rose up.

There is no Vermilion Bird in the Five Elements Realm, and many people do not recognize this flag. However, the sudden appearance of this unfamiliar flag in the Golden Sea Defense Line is extremely abrupt.

"Who counted those flags!" Jin Hua Daojun spotted the Vermilion Bird Flag at a glance, and also noticed that its flag head was pointing in his direction.

At this moment, a celestial master came out and took a look, then said, "Reporting to the Dao Lord, that flag seems to have been raised by the people of the Wood Path Immortal Mansion."

"The Wood Path Immortal Abode." Daoist Jin Hua nodded slightly. After Pangu's appearance and invasion, the Wood Path Immortal Abode sent 100,000 immortal cultivators to help.

Jin Hua Daojun said to the immortal master, "Go and ask them why they raised the flag."

The immortal master acknowledged the order and immediately flew down to the top of the enormous Vermilion Bird banner, asking, "Who is your boat's master?"

A moment later, a stunningly beautiful young woman emerged, her face as bright as the autumn moon, her skin as smooth as jade, her hair perfectly styled, and her features exquisitely beautiful. "I am she."

A hint of amazement flashed in the eyes of the immortal lord, but he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Daoist Jinhua asks why you raised the flag."

The girl said, "Raising the flag is only for combat, to clearly indicate the direction of the command, and to facilitate the command of the immortal cultivators."

The immortal master asked, "Then why didn't you raise the flag in the past, but only today?"

The girl said, "I wasn't the boat owner before; I was promoted to the position just ten days ago."

The immortal master asked, "Is it possible to withdraw?"

The young woman said, "If your esteemed household feels that my raising of the flag is inappropriate, then I will withdraw after this ten-foot mark."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Lord nodded and then returned to the side of the Golden Transformation Dao Lord to tell him the truth.

After listening, Daoist Jin Hua glanced at the vast and boundless boundary defense line and indeed found that although the flag was out of place, it could indeed indicate the location of the army and guide its formation.

So Jin Hua Daojun said, "There is nothing wrong with raising the flag. It is rare for the Wood Element Immortal Mansion to have such a talent. There is no need to worry about her."

The immortal master bowed and said, "Yes."

However, as soon as Daoist Jin Hua finished speaking, he noticed something was wrong. After those immortal cultivators who had appeared in the world as Pangu broke out of the Spirit Cypress Realm, they were heading straight for him.

"Hmm? They're going to focus their attack on my side?" Jin Hua Daojun frowned.

Then he saw the person leading the way on the opposite side. The person wore a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, a golden chainmail armor, and lotus-silk cloud-walking boots. He was majestic and imposing, and it was none other than the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

Previously, when Sun Wukong led his troops to charge into battle, Jin Hua Daojun had witnessed his abilities, so when he saw him heading straight for him, he was immediately alarmed.

"Quickly make her lower the flag!" Jin Hua Daojun hurriedly pointed towards the Vermilion Bird Flag and said.

Upon hearing this, the immortal lord hurriedly rushed towards the Vermilion Bird Banner, but Sun Wukong and his group arrived extremely quickly.

Meanwhile, the Vermilion Bird Banner also made a move. For some reason, the Vermilion Bird Banner suddenly retreated. The immortal cultivators of the Wood Element Immortal Mansion, who were under the command of the Vermilion Bird Banner, were puzzled. However, here, orders were strictly obeyed, so although they were confused, they followed the banner's command and retreated.

This retreat was disastrous; a gap immediately appeared in the Golden Sea defense line. Sun Wukong saw this sudden opening and, without hesitation, unleashed his Heaven and Earth Manifestation Technique, kicking open the gap in the Golden Sea defense line. Then, with a single strike of his golden cudgel, two or three thousand immortal cultivators from the Golden Path Immortal Mansion perished.

Following closely behind were the Bodhisattva Duobao Shanjian and the Bodhisattva Peacock King. The Bodhisattva Duobao Shanjian unleashed his three magical treasures—the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, the Golden Dragon Scissors, and the Purple Thunder Hammer—and in the blink of an eye, he had inflicted heavy casualties on the immortal cultivators guarding the defensive line, opening a passage.

The Peacock King Bodhisattva manifested his Dharma form, holding four treasures in his four hands, emitting dazzling divine light, and converting many immortal cultivators.

Nezha, Tiger Vanguard, and Chi Ling led three battalions of 130,000 divine generals into the defensive line, charging left and right, and quickly carved out a foothold.

When Sun Wukong rushed in, he saw the immortal lord flying towards the Vermilion Bird Banner. He simply swung his golden cudgel and annihilated the immortal lord.

Jin Hua Daojun was greatly shocked. At this moment, he heard the voices of the four Daojuns, Jin Liu, Jin Yuan, Jin Guang, and Jin Tai: "Quickly, reinforce the defenses and drive them out."

Jin Hua Daojun immediately reacted. At this moment, the four Daojuns in the other four directions began to unleash their magic power, instantly creating a surging golden torrent within the golden sea defense line.

Jin Hua Daojun immediately followed, pouring out his own magical power to merge with the magical power of the four Daojuns.

The five Dao Lords combined their magical powers, and an endless stream of gold immediately surged through the entire Golden Sea defense line, rapidly sweeping in.

The boundless golden flow shook the four directions, and with a thunderous roar, it swept in, instantly sending the Bodhisattva of Many Treasures and Good Vision, the Bodhisattva of Peacock King, and the 130,000 divine generals flying. They landed outside the golden sea defense line and quickly filled the gap in the defense line that Sun Wukong had previously broken.

Only Sun Wukong could withstand the boundless golden torrent on his own, but Nezha, Tiger Vanguard, and Chi Ling behind him also withstood the first wave of the boundless golden torrent with their strong physical bodies.

At this moment, Nezha raised his head and shouted, "Yin and Yang without limit!"

The next moment, the Yin and Yang energies beneath Nezha's feet shone with divine light, and Nezha's figure immediately appeared in front of Sun Wukong with extremely powerful Yin and Yang energy, sharing some of the power of the golden flow with him.

Seeing this, Tiger Vanguard and Red Silk also revealed their Dharma forms. With a tiger's roar and a snake's hiss, two enormous figures, a tiger and a snake, rushed forward and together with Nezha withstood the impact of the golden flow.

"Not good, Daoist Jin Hua, retreat quickly!" Seeing Nezha, Tiger Vanguard, and Chi Ling manifest their Dharma forms to help Sun Wukong withstand the impact of the golden flow, Daoist Jin Tai immediately realized what they were about to do and hurriedly transmitted his voice to Daoist Jin Hua.

Jin Hua Daojun also realized that something was wrong, but just as he was about to retreat, he heard a word 'still' in his ear.

Jin Hua Daojun was frozen in the void, his heart filled with horror. At this moment, Jin Liu Daojun's voice transmission sounded again: "Quickly abandon your physical body and let your primordial spirit escape into Jin Liu."

Jin Hua Daojun immediately complied, discarding his physical body and sending his primordial spirit into the golden stream.

The next moment, Sun Wukong's golden cudgel struck him, instantly turning Jin Hua Daojun's physical body into dust. However, Jin Hua Daojun's primordial spirit vanished into the golden stream, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Sun Wukong smiled slightly and said, "The place where one comes and goes without a trace is the true self."

After saying that, Sun Wukong's body flashed with Buddhist light, and then he reached out and grabbed into the golden stream, instantly pulling out a primordial spirit from it.

The primordial spirit of Jin Hua Dao Jun was filled with horror. Before he could even speak, Sun Wukong raised his hand and shattered his primordial spirit with a single blow.

Although Jin Hua Dao Jun was a Great Enlightened Golden Immortal whose true spirit resided in the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, making him immortal and indestructible, and he could return in time, Sun Wukong's ease in killing Jin Hua Dao Jun still caused the other four Dao Juns to change color in shock.

Especially after the death of Daoist Jin Hua, the power of the golden flow was instantly weakened by 10%, and a huge gap appeared in the entire Golden Sea defense line.

The Golden Sea defense line on Jin Hua Dao Jun's side collapsed directly, and Duo Bao Shan Jian Bodhisattva and Kong Que Da Ming Wang Bodhisattva led the 130,000 divine generals to rush in again.

However, the one million Five Elements Immortal Cultivators stationed at this defensive line did not retreat, but instead charged forward and fought against the 130,000 Divine Generals.

After Sun Wukong killed Jin Hua Daojun, he raised his hand and pulled out four streams of energy. These were the energy left behind when the four Daojuns, Jin Liu, Jin Yuan, Jin Guang, and Jin Tai, communicated with Jin Hua Daojun.

Sun Wukong used his magic to locate the other four people by following the four auras. He then sent the aura of Jin Yuan Dao Jun to Nezha, the aura of Jin Guang to Hu Xianfeng, and the aura of Jin Tai to Chi Ling.

The three of them caught it, then broke free from the onslaught of the torrent of gold and headed straight for their respective destinations.

Sun Wukong headed straight for Jinliu Daojun. The four Daojuns sensed that their location had been exposed, so they immediately stopped joining forces and withdrew their magic power to prepare to fight.

The four Dao Lords withdrew their magical power, and the torrent of golden water naturally dissipated.

Tiger Vanguard's massive body charged into the defensive line guarded by Golden Light Dao Lord. Golden Light Dao Lord immediately activated his golden flow to entangle Tiger Vanguard's body, and the millions of immortal cultivators around him rushed forward to attack and kill Tiger Vanguard.

However, the attacks from those immortal cultivators had no effect on Tiger Vanguard; instead, they damaged his own weapons.

Although Tiger Vanguard was entangled by the golden flow, he directly used 'Suppressing Spirits'. With a roar, more than 100,000 immortal cultivators around him were instantly frozen in place.

At the same time, Tiger Vanguard activated the "True Technique for Refining and Eliminating Karma" and unleashed the "Roar of Shocking Gods" towards the location of Golden Light Daoist.

A sonic wave spread out from the roar of the gods, and the souls of all the immortal cultivators and living beings in its path were terrified and stunned.

When the power of that terrifying roar landed on Golden Light Dao Lord, even his primordial spirit trembled.

However, Daoist Jin Guang quickly stabilized his primordial spirit and immediately used all his strength to activate the golden flow, tightly binding Tiger Vanguard's body.

Seeing that he couldn't break free after struggling for a long time, Tiger Vanguard had no choice but to give up. Then, a flash of immortal light appeared around him, and he immediately withdrew his Dharma form and returned to his human form.

The moment he regained his human form, Tiger Vanguard was enveloped in a burst of crimson light, followed by the Heavenly Calamity Blade flying out from above his head.

Tiger Vanguard looked toward where Golden Light Daoist was, and then with a thought, the Heavenly Evil Blade instantly slashed toward Golden Light Daoist.

When Jin Guang Daojun saw a knife slashing towards him, he immediately activated his golden flow to create a golden wall to block it.

With a clang, the blade struck the golden wall, splitting it in two, and continued its momentum straight toward him.

Jin Guang Daojun's expression showed slight surprise. He immediately activated his magic power and pressed down. As the void of the realm trembled heavily, the Heavenly Evil Blade directly struck Jin Guang Daojun's magic power, cutting away 30% to 40% of it.

However, the Heavenly Evil Blade was suppressed by the Golden Light Dao Lord. The Golden Light Dao Lord immediately used magic to suppress and seal the Heavenly Evil Blade, and then withdrew his magic power.

Jin Guang Daojun smiled slightly, withdrew his magic power into his body, and was about to take the Heavenly Evil Blade, but a sudden change occurred the next moment.

Suddenly, a flame erupted from within the body of the Golden Light Daoist. This flame was extremely fierce, instantly burning from the inside out, from the soles of his feet to his forehead, and from the depths of his spiritual platform to his primordial spirit.

"Ah!!!" Jin Guang Daojun's seven orifices were ablaze, and he let out an extremely violent scream.

The fire was not only burning his body and primordial spirit, but also causing images to flash through Jin Guang Daojun's mind as it burned.

These images depict his rampage when he attacked and destroyed the Xuanfa Heavenly Dao, the Xushi Heavenly Dao, and the Fenglei Manifestation World. In those images, for every living being who died, an invisible and intangible yet real power would gather around him.

"Karma! Karmic fire!" Jin Guang Daojun screamed out these four words, then could no longer speak, until he was burned to ashes by the karmic fire.

With the death of the Golden Light Dao Lord, his power vanished instantly, causing the Golden Sea defense line to collapse. The Heavenly Sin Blade also broke free from its seal and returned to Tiger Vanguard's hands.

After escaping his predicament, Tiger Vanguard held the Heavenly Evil Blade and looked up into the distance. He saw the golden sea trembling incessantly and the void of the realm cracking continuously. It turned out that Nezha was using the 'Yin Yang Wuji' technique and the 'Three Heads and Six Arms' Dharma form.

Therefore, there were two Nezhas with three heads and six arms attacking Jin Yuan Dao Jun. The two fought fiercely, but Jin Yuan Dao Jun was much inferior to Nezha in martial arts and physical strength, and was quickly suppressed by Nezha.

However, Nezha did not have a treasure like the 'Heavenly Evil Blade', so he could only slowly grind down Jin Yuan Dao Jun.

Tiger Vanguard turned his head to look to the right front and saw that Chi Ling's huge body was tightly entangled with Jin Tai Dao Jun, and the golden flow that Jin Tai Dao Jun was urging could not restrain Chi Ling's body at all.

With a gentle twist, Chi Ling's enormous crimson body, thousands of feet long, could shatter the golden flow. Moreover, Chi Ling also possessed an indestructible body.

Therefore, no matter how much magical power Jintai Daojun possessed, or how many layers of golden energy surrounded him, Chi Ling simply coiled her body around it and slowly tightened it. All of Jintai Daojun's resistance collapsed layer by layer, and defeat was only a short time away.

Tiger Vanguard looked in the direction of Sun Wukong, only to see that the Golden Sea defense line had already collapsed, and Jinliu Daojun was fighting Sun Wukong with a flowing gold chain sword.

After more than seventy rounds of fighting, Jinliu Daojun's physical body was shattered by Sun Wukong's staff, and his primordial spirit was destroyed by another staff.

By the time Sun Wukong turned around, Nezha had already used his raw strength to completely deplete the magical power of Jin Yuan Dao Jun. Then, the three-headed, six-armed Dharma forms of Yin and Yang went up together and directly killed Jin Yuan Dao Jun, not even giving him a chance to escape.

Meanwhile, the crimson ribbon had already broken through all of Jintai Daojun's defenses. With a sudden, powerful pull, Jintai Daojun's physical body was crushed.

However, the primordial spirit of Daoist Jintai escaped and fled, and Chi Ling's enormous body could not catch up with it.

However, Chi Ling remained completely calm. She withdrew her true form, transformed into human form, and then took out a divine bow, which was none other than the 'Jun Tian Divine Bow'.

With a flick of her wrist, Chi Ling drew her bow and released an arrow. The void cracked open, and the Heavenly Arrow pierced through the void in an instant, striking the fleeing Golden Platform Daoist's primordial spirit.

Poor Jintai Daojun's primordial spirit thought he had escaped with his life, but he was too happy too soon and was shot to death by an arrow that followed closely behind.

At this point, the Golden Sea defense line of the Golden Path Immortal Mansion completely collapsed, all five Great Dao Lords died, and the six million immortal cultivators were instantly routed, scattering and fleeing in all directions.

Sun Wukong immediately issued a decree: "Nezha, Hu Da, and Chi Ling, listen to my command. You shall immediately transfer the Golden Ship and Heavenly Boat from the Lingbai Realm. Afterward, move the Grand Commandant's Mansion to the Golden Ship and Heavenly Boat, and lead the various battalions to hunt down the fleeing immortal cultivators of the Golden Immortal Mansion. Pursue them all the way out, attacking realms and killing enemies as you encounter them, until you completely occupy the Platinum Immortal Realm."

The three accepted the decree, bowed and accepted the order. They then gathered their respective generals and transported golden warships and celestial vessels to the Lingbai Realm, moving their respective Grand Commandant's mansions onto the golden warships and celestial vessels.

Then, three enormous golden warships, blotting out the sky, sailed out of the Lingbai Realm, and the 130,000 divine generals of the three battalions boarded their respective golden warships.

Once all the divine generals had landed, the three enormous golden celestial ships immediately activated the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation. As the formation enveloped the three golden celestial ships, they broke through the turbulent currents in the realm at an extremely fast speed, each chasing after the others in a different direction.

As the three golden ships and celestial vessels gradually disappeared into the distance and their light dimmed, Sun Wukong turned back to the Bodhisattva Duobao Shanjian and the Bodhisattva Kongque Damingwang and said, "From now on, the two Bodhisattvas will take turns guarding the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation of Lingbai Realm."

The two Bodhisattvas immediately bowed and accepted the order, saying, "We obey the decree."

As the two Bodhisattvas turned and flew into the Spirit Cypress Realm, Sun Wukong's gaze fell upon the graceful figure standing not far away.

Upon seeing Sun Wukong looking at her, the figure quickly stepped forward, cupped her hands, and bowed, saying, "Lin Daiyu, head of the Intelligence Division, greets the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

Sun Wukong glanced at the Vermilion Bird Flag in her hand, then at the empty space behind her, and asked, "Where are your subordinates?"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile, "Those people are all immortal cultivators from the Wood Element Immortal Mansion. They would never submit to my Pangu Manifestation. I also infiltrated the Wood Element Immortal Mansion's support team with my own Taoist magic, so they fled as soon as the defense line collapsed."

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "You have made a great contribution this time. When I report to the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm, your reward will be substantial. You should be prepared."

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu was excited, but on the surface she remained extremely calm and dignified, bowing and saying, "Yes, Your subordinate thanks the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

Sun Wukong then took Lin Daiyu back to the Qitian Palace, the Grand Administrator of the Lingbai Realm. He first sent her back to the Intelligence Department to report on her duties, and then he went back to draft a report on the battle and report Lin Daiyu's achievements to the Jade Palace in the Mortal Realm.
