I am a fairy in Journey to the West

"By special imperial decree, Lin Daiyu is granted the title of Marquis of Crimson Pearl, and is bestowed with three jugs of imperial wine, ten golden flowers, a purple-glowing unicorn robe, a Marquis of Crimson Pearl mansion, and the title of Jade Palace of the Mortal World, the Great Emperor of the Divine Firmament, as decreed."

As Wang Fu, the Southern Envoy, finished reading the imperial edict, Lin Ruhai and his wife immediately bowed their heads in gratitude.

After receiving the imperial edict, Lin Ruhai rose and addressed Wang Fu, the Southern Heavenly Envoy, and Ling Feiling, the Grand Commandant of the Southern Mountain Divine Palace who had accompanied him: "Envoy Wang, Grand Commandant Ling, a banquet has been prepared in the palace. We would be most grateful if you would do us the honor of joining us for the feast.

Ling Feiling smiled and looked at Wang Fu beside her. Wang Fu nodded and smiled, "Since Lord Lin has extended such a generous invitation, I, the deity, will gladly accept."

Lin Ruhai was overjoyed and quickly led Jia Min to welcome Wang Fu and Ling Feiling into the Marquis's residence. They passed through three main halls and arrived at the central hall of the residence.

The servants that Lin Ruhai and his wife brought from the Songjiang Water Mansion have filled all the vacancies in the Marquis's mansion. At this moment, a banquet has already been set up in the main hall, with spiritual tea, fine wine, and immortal fruits all provided.

Lin Ruhai first invited Wang Fu to take the seat of honor, Ling Feiling took the next seat, and he and Jia Min sat in the accompanying seats.

Once everyone was seated, Lin Ruhai immediately instructed the waiters to bring out all the delicious food and delicacies.

Lin Ruhai personally poured wine for Wang Fu and Ling Feiling, while Jia Min personally brewed tea for the two.

Ling Feiling took a sip of tea, then looked at Lin Ruhai and smiled, "These servants are all from your Songjiang Water Mansion, right?"

“Yes.” Lin Ruhai smiled and said, “After Master Lu Ban finished building this mansion yesterday, my wife went back and selected twenty clever and capable people to fill the mansion.”

Ling Feiling nodded and said, "When I came, Minister Ye instructed me to pass on a message to you. The reason he asked Marquis Jiangzhu about his marriage that day was not to arrange a marriage with you, but for matters concerning the Marquis's residence."

Lin Ruhai had naturally figured this out as well. The reason he asked about this was to prepare for the construction of the Marquis's residence.

If Lin Daiyu had already married or separated from the family, then the construction of the Marquis's mansion would certainly have to be done in a different location, and Lin Daiyu's opinion would have to be sought.

If Lin Daiyu had not married, and continued to live with her parents, then the Marquis's mansion could have been built according to her parents' wishes.

After all, Lin Daiyu is currently in the Five Elements Realm, and it would be too much trouble for her to make a trip back and forth for such a trivial matter.

"Yes," Lin Ruhai said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Minister Ye."

Previously, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min thought that if Lin Daiyu married into Ye Meicang's family, it would indeed be a good match.

But things are different now. Lin Daiyu has been granted the title of Marquis of Jiangzhu, while Ye Meicang, although serving as the Minister of the Southern Mountain Divine Palace, has not yet been granted a marquisate.

Although he held a high position and wielded great power, his son did not hold any official position, and to put it bluntly, his son was not a good match for Lin Daiyu.

But these are things you can only think in your heart; you absolutely cannot say them out loud.

At this moment, the waiters had already brought out all kinds of delicious food and delicacies to the table, and Lin Ruhai quickly stood up to toast Wang Fu and Ling Feiling.

After a cup of wine, Lin Ruhai quickly invited the two to have a meal. At this moment, Jia Min suddenly cupped his hands and said, "I would like to ask Envoy Wang a question."

Wang Fu's gaze fell on Jia Min, and he asked with a smile, "What does Madam wish to ask?"

Jia Min asked, "May I ask, Envoy Wang Zuo, when will my Daiyu return to the world of Pangu?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Fu immediately shook his head and laughed, "Madam, I cannot answer your question. Marquis Jiangzhu is currently serving in the Five Elements Realm Intelligence Bureau. When he returns is not under the jurisdiction of my Southern Heavenly Lord's Mansion, but must obey the orders of the Heavenly Pivot Capital Province and the General Qitian Mansion."

Jia Min continued, "There must be some news, right? After all, he's been granted a marquisate now, he should go home for a visit."

"That's hard to say," Wang Fu said. "The Five Elements are currently engaged in a fierce war, and it is precisely the time for Marquis Jiangzhu to serve."

Jia Min frowned slightly, but since Wang Fu had already said so much, she couldn't ask any more questions.

Just as Lin Ruhai and his wife were both happy and worried for Lin Daiyu, the atmosphere in the Jade Capital Cloud Tower Palace in the Great Luo Heaven was also filled with joy.

A bright and beautiful young girl, dressed in the robes of an eighth-rank celestial official, skipped and hopped to the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and his wife, calling out, "Father, Mother, look!" Then she twirled around in front of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and his wife.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King was overjoyed, his eyes filled with smiles as he looked at the girl before him.

Madam Yin clapped her hands repeatedly and said, "Good, good, good! My Ying'er is truly heroic."

The little girl giggled and jumped into Madam Yin's arms, then raised her head, revealing two dimples, and looked at Madam Yin with her bright, star-like eyes, asking, "Mother, when will Third Brother come back?"

Lady Yin's expression froze for a moment, then she looked at the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King beside her.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your third brother is commanding troops in battle abroad, and I'm afraid he won't be back for a while."

"Mmm~~~" the girl said coquettishly, "I miss my third brother."

Madam Yin said, "Ying'er, this official robe you are wearing was given to you by your third brother. You must listen to your third brother and cultivate diligently. When your third brother comes back, he will be very surprised."

"Okay." The girl nodded, then asked, "But when will Third Brother be back?"

Madam Yin could only vaguely reply, "We'll be back once the war is won, Ying'er, don't be in such a hurry."

The girl in front of me is named Li Zhenying. She is the fourth daughter of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and Lady Yin. She was originally a person without official rank or grade.

However, this time Nezha reported to the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm, transferring the credit for his killing of the Five Elements Manifestation Dao Lord to Li Zhenying, so Li Zhenying was granted the honorary title of an eighth-rank celestial official.

Merit is reduced by one rank upon promotion. This is a decree issued by the Fire Spirit Immortal. Therefore, Li Zhenying only received the honorary title of an eighth-rank immortal official, as well as ten golden flowers and a reward of fifty thousand purple coins.

Tiger Vanguard and Red Silk both had the merit of killing enemy Dao Lords, so they were each granted a blessed land in Xiniu Hezhou, ten jugs of imperial wine, ten golden flowers, and one hundred thousand purple coins.

As for the Bodhisattva Duobao Shanjian and the Bodhisattva Kongque Damingwang, each was bestowed with ten jugs of imperial wine, ten golden flowers, and one hundred thousand purple coins, and their incense offerings in the human world were increased by one level.

Finally, there's Sun Wukong. There's no need to rush to reward him. Sun Wukong already holds a very high position and is the Grand Master of the Five Elements in the mortal world.

Therefore, we are only recording the merits now, without any reward.

Furthermore, given Sun Wukong's status, even if a reward were to be bestowed, it would have to wait until Zhuang Yan personally issues the decree later; there's no rush to do so now.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye. In the Yuan Shu Hall of the Tian Shu Province of Buzhou Mountain.

Xue Baochai and Huang Feng Dasheng arrived at the hall together. She first bowed to Erlang Shen and said, "Your subordinate Huang Feng (Xue Baochai) greets Your Highness Erlang Zhenwang."

Erlang Shen sat upright in the hall and said with a smile, "Please rise and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Huang Feng Dasheng and Xue Baochai bowed in thanks, rose, and then sat down on the sandalwood chairs on one side of the hall.

Then Erlang Shen asked, "I summoned you two here today to inquire about the results of the Human Emperor's Camp's training?"

The Great Sage Huang Feng immediately replied, "Your Highness, all the divine generals of the Human Emperor's Camp arrived two months ago and have all been equipped. After four months of training, they are completely ready."

Erlang Shen nodded and said, "That's good. Four months ago, in the Five Elements Manifestation battlefield of the Lingbai Realm, the Zhechong, Zhen'e, and Bi'ou camps broke through the Golden Sea defense line of the Golden Element Immortal Mansion and have now pushed the battle line to the entire Platinum Immortal Domain. The forces of the three camps are already stretched thin. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven has sent a document requesting that the Human Emperor Camp be sent to the Five Elements Manifestation as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Huang Feng immediately said to Erlang Shen, "The Human Emperors have already consulted me on this matter, and I believe that the Human Emperor's Camp is now ready to go to the Five Elements Realm to fight."

"Alright." Erlang Shen laughed, "Since that's the case, then I will discuss it with the Human Emperors again. If there are no other objections, then we will send the Human Emperor Camp into the Five Elements Realm to fight."

Huang Feng Dasheng remained silent. Zhang Tianying was merely assisting with the training, and naturally, matters such as sending troops had nothing to do with him.

However, Huang Feng hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Erlang Shen asked, "Grand Commandant Huang Feng, is there anything you want to say?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Huang Feng immediately replied, "Your Highness, I believe that our Zhang Tian Camp has been replenished with divine generals, and now that everyone is about to return from visiting their families, I think that our Zhang Tian Camp should also enter the Five Elements Realm to fight."

Upon hearing this, Erlang Shen waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, Zhang Tianying will continue to rest. This is the order of the Fire Spirit True King."

Huang Feng Dasheng was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and said, "Your Highness, six months of rest is enough."

Erlang Shen decisively said, "Commander Huangfeng, your next task, Zhang Tianying, is to remain in the mortal realm of Pangu. Don't say anything more. This is an order from the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm and the Heavenly Pivot Province."

The Great Sage Huang Feng looked disappointed. He could only bow to Erlang Shen helplessly and then sit back down.

Seeing his reaction, Erlang Shen immediately laughed and said, "Don't be in a hurry, you'll have your battles to fight later. You're staying in the mortal world of Pangu for now, mainly for two tasks."

Huang Feng asked, "May I ask what the mission is, Your Highness?" Erlang Shen replied, "First, we must continue to replenish our divine generals. Currently, the total number of divine generals in each camp is 50,000. Starting with your Zhang Tian camp, we will expand it to 100,000."

"One hundred thousand people!!!" Huang Feng Dasheng was shocked. "But does my Master Pangu have that many immortals who have achieved sainthood in the physical body?"

Erlang Shen smiled and said, "I can reveal a little about this to you. In the 'Double Divine Refining Heaven,' Laozi has added eight more 'Eight Trigrams Alchemy Furnaces' and sent people to collect all the immortal and spiritual medicines from the world where Pangu appeared and the Ten Continents and Three Islands to refine new 'Nine-Turn Golden Pills.'"

"A new Nine-Turn Golden Elixir?" asked the Great Sage Yellow Wind. "I remember that a mortal could instantly become an immortal after consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir?"

“That’s right,” Erlang Shen said. “The new Nine-Turn Golden Elixir can not only make one an immortal on the spot, but also directly create a physical body with the strength to ‘lift mountains and cauldrons’.”

The word "mass production" immediately popped into Huang Feng Dasheng's mind. It seemed that Laozi was going to mass-produce immortals who had achieved sainthood through physical means.

"Is this alright?" asked the Great Sage Huang Feng. "Is it acceptable to cultivate so many immortals who have achieved physical sainthood using elixirs?"

"Of course we couldn't have done that before, because it would have intensified the turbulence of calamity in the world," Erlang Shen said. "But we can now. The struggle between the various Heavenly Daos is the most effective way to settle and deplete calamity."

The Great Sage Huang Feng suddenly realized that he could use elixirs to cultivate a large number of immortals who could achieve physical sainthood in the world of Pangu. However, they would not stay in the world of Pangu, but would be sent directly to attack other worlds of the Heavenly Dao.

Therefore, the calamities and karmic forces generated by these people will not accumulate in the Pangu Heavenly Dao, but will accumulate in other Heavenly Daos in the present world.

The battles and killings among those who manifest the Heavenly Dao can consume and settle these calamity forces, thus having no impact on the manifestation of Pangu.

However, this would have been absolutely unacceptable in the past, because a large number of immortals appearing out of thin air would increase the calamity and karma in the world, and in severe cases, it could trigger a great calamity, which would be extremely terrifying.

"And what about the second task?" asked the Great Sage Huangfeng.

Erlang Shen's smile was somewhat mysterious. After a moment, he slowly said, "We have now forged a new batch of equipment, and your Zhang Tianying will need to equip it first."

Today is the day the Human Emperor's camp sets off. Three days ago, the Human Emperor's Grand Commandant, True King Zhuanxu, ordered that every general in the Human Emperor's camp use the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman to bid farewell to their families and relatives.

Today, the 50,000-strong Imperial Guard, a perfectly orderly and imposing procession, marched toward the Fourfold Divine Bridge.

Erlang Shen personally led a group of gods and immortal officials from the Tian Shu Province to the Fourth Heaven to see them off. Zhuanxu Zhenwang walked up to Erlang Shen, cupped his hands and said, "Great Envoy, the Human Emperor's Camp is ready."

Erlang Shen nodded and said, "Then let's set off."

Zhuanxu Zhenwang accepted the order, then turned around and came to the front of the 50,000 divine generals of the Human Emperor Camp. His gaze swept over them, and finally he drew his sword and shouted: "All soldiers of the Human Emperor Camp, listen to my command! Conquer the Five Elements Manifestation! The entire army shall set off!"

As soon as the words fell, behind the Haotian Great Banner at the forefront, one after another, the Human Emperor Banners were raised high. Then, the 50,000 Human Emperor Camp generals, led by their respective captains and officials, entered the Measuring Heaven Bridge and set off towards the Manifestation of the Five Elements.

Two months later, the 50,000 divine generals of the Human Emperor Camp walked out of the Measuring Heaven Divine Bridge and entered the Spirit Cypress Realm.

Sun Wukong had already sent people to meet them in Lingbai Realm and had prepared the 'Golden Ship Heavenly Boat' used by the Human Emperor Camp.

Afterwards, Sun Wukong met with the four human emperors, Zhuanxu, Di Ku, Di Yao, and Di Shun, and then directed the attack direction to the human emperors' camp.

After resting for fifteen days in the Spirit Cypress Realm, the Human Emperor Camp boarded the Golden Sky Ship and joined the attack on the Platinum Immortal Realm.

With the deaths of the five Dao Lords of the Golden Immortal Mansion, the defenses of the Platinum Immortal Domain completely collapsed, catching the other four Immortal Mansions off guard.

During these six months, the four great immortal palaces of Earth, Fire, Wood, and Water continuously summoned immortal cultivators to reinforce the Metal Immortal Palace, but the situation in the Platinum Immortal Realm had completely collapsed.

Although reinforcements from the other four immortal abodes have arrived, it is difficult to build a large defensive line again, because the soldiers of the Zhechong, Zhen'e, and Bi'ou battalions have been dispersed and scattered throughout the entire Platinum Immortal Realm.

Therefore, the two sides are already intertwined in the Platinum Immortal Realm, and now they are engaged in a protracted tug-of-war.

Sometimes, two forces attack and occupy a small world back and forth, but once they encounter the enemy's main force, they will retreat immediately and seek reinforcements.

Therefore, the forces on both sides were broken up into smaller units, and countless battles and fights took place in every world of the Platinum Immortal Realm.

The newly arrived Emperor's camp remained calm in the face of such chaos. The four Emperors were all seasoned immortals who had seen the world, so troop deployment was a piece of cake for them.

He Liuhun was shrewd and capable. He demonstrated strong leadership and comprehension during the training at Buzhou Mountain, so he was appointed as the captain of his squad.

At this moment, the priest Fu Jiezi arrived at He Liuhun's team and said to He Liuhun, "He Liuhun, immediately take your team to attack the 'Jade Wall Realm'. This is the map of the Five Elements Manifestation Realm of the Heavens. Be sure to keep it safe. The Jade Wall Realm you are going to attack is right here."

As Fu Jiezi spoke, he pointed out the location of the Jade Wall Realm on the boundary map, "There are navigation guides in this realm. Just follow the guides directly there. Please report that there are six immortal cultivators from the Wood Element Immortal Mansion stationed in the Jade Wall Realm. Your team is enough to wipe them out."

He Liuhun immediately accepted the talisman and the boundary map, then solemnly acknowledged the order. He then immediately gathered his team of nine members, making a total of ten people including himself.

After briefly introducing the mission to his team members, He Liuhun led them to the gate of the Golden Ship Sky Ark, showed them his mission token, and once the gate was opened, He Liuhun's team immediately used the 'Escape Cloud Talisman' to fly away.

The Escape Cloud Talisman is a magical artifact that was equipped to the generals of each camp, following the Eight Treasures Armor and the Seven Treasures Blade.

The Escape Light Cloud Talisman is an upgraded version of the Thousand Light Cloud Talisman. It still requires mana to cast the Escape Light, allowing one to travel thousands of miles in an instant, but it consumes a great deal of mana.

However, this consumption is extremely high and is measured in quarters of an hour, while the Escape Cloud Talisman can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

Like the Eight Treasures Armor and the Seven Treasures Blade, the Escape Cloud Talisman is a magical weapon used by the Heavenly Court to equip its divine generals, and its circulation outside the court is strictly prohibited.

He Liuhun led his team and used the Escape Cloud Talisman to arrive at the outside of the Jade Wall Realm six hours later. However, they did not attack rashly because using the Escape Cloud Talisman consumed a lot of energy, and they had been replenishing their mana along the way.

Therefore, after He Liuhun's team arrived, they first chose a secluded spot to recover their mana, and once their mana was fully recovered, they immediately began their attack.

The Jade Wall Realm, as its name suggests, is a world that, from the outside, resembles the color of a jade wall amidst mist and clouds, making it exceptionally beautiful.

However, He Liuhun and the others had no time to appreciate it. Instead, they directly used the Escape Light Cloud Talisman to enter the Jade Wall Realm. Ten streaks of escape light rushed into the Jade Wall Realm, as conspicuous as shooting stars.

The six Wood-type Immortals stationed within the Jade Wall Realm immediately noticed and flew up from below, instantly engaging He Liuhun and the others in battle.

He Liuhun immediately directed his team to form a battle formation and launch an attack on the six Wood Element Immortals. In just a quarter of an hour, He Liuhun and his men had killed all six Wood Element Immortals.

As they continued their attack, preparing to conquer the Jade Wall Realm, a sudden change occurred in the land below the Jade Wall Realm.

Suddenly, a patch of azure light appeared on the land, followed by countless azure blades shooting straight towards He Liuhun and his group.

He Liuhun immediately made a judgment and shouted, "Retreat quickly!"

The group immediately used the Escape Cloud Talisman to retreat towards the outside of the Jade Wall, but the azure blade light was extremely fast and shot in front of them in an instant, hitting He Liuhun and the others' Eight Treasures Armor.

Fortunately, the Eight Treasures Armor triggered the evasion in time, avoiding the blades. Then, with the Escape Cloud Talisman, He Liuhun's team retreated directly to the outside of the Jade Wall Realm.

But at that moment, a cry of pain came from the side. He Liuhun turned his head and saw that there was a blade on Hou Jing's shoulder armor. The blade was glowing with a blue-green light, and blood was gushing out from inside.

There were so many cyan blades that even after dodging, I was still hit by one.

"How is it?" He Liuhun asked.

Hou Jing shook his head and smiled, "It's alright, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious, the wound has stopped healing."

"That's good." He Liuhun nodded, then frowned and looked down at the Jade Wall Realm, saying, "I didn't expect there to be such a formation inside the Jade Wall Realm. This will be difficult to fight."

The surrounding team members remained silent, but all of them frowned deeply, clearly at a loss for what to do.

Just then, a voice came from behind: "He Liuhun".

He Liuhun and the others turned their heads to look, only to see another team of divine generals rushing over. When they saw the captain at the head of the team, He Liuhun frowned.

But just a moment later, He Liuhun asked, "Wei Xiaokuan, what are you doing here?"

Wei Xiaokuan came to He Liuhun, cupped his hands and smiled, "Not long after you set off, another piece of information came, saying that there is a terrain formation called 'Jade Blade Azure Gold' in this Jade Wall Realm, so the priest Fu Jiezi sent me to help you attack this realm."

Hearing this, He Liuhun's brows relaxed, and he nodded, saying, "I see. We had just entered the realm and killed the immortal cultivators guarding it, but then countless cyan blades shot out, forcing us out. Hou Jing was injured just now."

Wei Xiaokuan glanced at Hou Jing first, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's discuss how to break this formation."

He Liuhun nodded and replied softly, "Okay." (End of Chapter)
