I am a fairy in Journey to the West

The Five Elements manifest in the world, in the Jade Wall Realm, at the Military Command.

Wei Xiaokuan looked at the edict from the Grand Commandant's Office on the table in front of him, his face full of a smug smile.

He sat down comfortably in the sandalwood chair, then looked at the heavenly soldier beside him and asked, "When is He Liuhun going back?"

The soldier said, “Reporting to the squad leader, the imperial edict from the Grand Commandant’s office ordering He Liuhun’s squad to return for rest and reorganization arrived at the same time as the edict appointing you as the military commander of this region.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaokuan chuckled and said, "He's been competing with me for so long, but in the end, I still came out on top."

The soldier laughed and said, "It's all because you, Captain, are blessed by Heaven. Even the heavens are helping you."

Wei Xiaokuan did not laugh when he heard this. Instead, he looked at the heavenly soldier and asked, "Will the Five Elements Heavenly Dao favor me?"

The soldier paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and said, "Of course it's because Pangu's Heavenly Dao favored the captain."

Wei Xiaokuan smiled slightly, but this time the Five Elements Heavenly Dao had indeed helped him.

He was originally vying with He Liuhun for the position of captain of the Jade Wall Army, and even the Grand Commandant's office was deliberating between the two of them.

Unexpectedly, He Liuhun tripped and fell on the road three days ago, and this fall caused him serious injury.

Therefore, Wei Xiaokuan naturally became the only candidate for the captain of the Jade Wall Army, but he was only happy for a moment and quickly calmed down.

Although he became the captain of the military command in the Jade Wall Realm, his responsibilities were heavier than ever before.

First of all, He Liuhun's serious injury from falling flat on his face was not because he was so fragile. Moreover, he was wearing the Eight Treasures Armor, all because the laws of heaven and earth had become extremely dangerous due to the manifestation of the Five Elements.

In the past, let alone immortal cultivators, even a mortal cultivator would not have been able to slip and fall on flat ground, let alone suffer serious injuries.

But things are different now. Whether it's the heavenly soldiers and generals who appeared as Pangu or the immortal cultivators who appeared as the Five Elements, they will get injured if they fall.

This is clearly the Five Elements Heavenly Dao changing the laws of the present world. As for the Jade Wall Realm Military Command, it is the government office that guards and governs the entire Jade Wall Realm.

Under such circumstances, guarding a realm naturally puts immense pressure on Wei Xiaokuan and his nine celestial soldiers.

On the other side, He Liuhun's team was rather quiet. The group carried He Liuhun and used the Escape Cloud Talisman to fly out of the Jade Wall Realm.

He Liuhun lay on the palanquin, sighing all the way after leaving the Jade Wall Realm. He struggled to look back at the Jade Wall Realm and sighed again.

Seeing this, Huli Jin immediately said, "This time, Wei Xiaokuan got off easy. Next time we conquer another realm, you, the squad leader, will be the military commander."

He Liuhun said, "I'm just unlucky. I fell flat on my face and got seriously injured. Sigh."

Hulü Jin said, "There's nothing we can do. Who can blame us when the laws governing the Five Elements in this world are becoming increasingly treacherous?"

Hou Jing said, "Don't worry, we'll go back and rest and recuperate. With the Five Elements manifesting in such a vast world, are we afraid of not having a military commander or captain?"

Upon hearing this, He Liuhun suddenly said, "I heard that our Human Emperor Camp has been replenished with heavenly soldiers and generals?"

"That's right," Jia Daihua said. "This time, we've reinforced ourselves with 150,000 men, and it's not just our Emperor's Camp; all the other major camps have received reinforcements, and the numbers are basically the same."

Upon hearing this, Huli Jin couldn't help but click his tongue and say, "Why have so many more people been added all of a sudden? Are there so many people in our Pangu world who have achieved sainthood in their physical bodies?"

Jia Daihua said, "I heard that the Tian Shu Province has refined a large number of 'Nine-Turn Golden Pills,' and the newly added heavenly soldiers and generals are all cultivated using Nine-Turn Golden Pills."

"Can the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir also cultivate the physical body?" Hou Jing asked in surprise.

Jia Daihua said, "It's a new Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, not the old one."

"Who told you these things?" He Liuhun looked at Jia Daihua.

Jia Daihua said, "My cousin told me."

"Your cousin?" He Liuhun asked. "Who is your younger cousin?"

Jia Daihua said, "It is Marquis Rongxiang, Jia Daishan."

“Oh, Commandant Jia, I know him,” Huli Jin said. “So he’s your cousin. You’re from a noble family?”

He Liuhun and the others, who had never known about Jia Daihua's family background, looked at Jia Daihua differently. A family of Heavenly Marquises, that's quite prestigious.

"But you come from a family of divine marquises, so why are you only a heavenly soldier?" He Liuhun asked.

Jia Daihua said, "I have no noble title or official rank, so I can only start as a heavenly soldier."

"I see." Hearing this, He Liuhun and the others felt much more relieved. The Heavenly Court was indeed the fairest and most just place. Even the sons of the Divine Marquis family, without official rank or title, had to start from the bottom, just like them.

As He Liuhun and the others returned to the golden warship Tianzhou where the Human Emperor Camp was located to rest, Wei Xiaokuan received an unexpected guest in the Jade Wall Realm.

"Squad leader, there is a man named Jin Shu who is requesting an audience outside," a celestial soldier said as he approached Wei Xiaokuan.

Upon hearing the report, Wei Xiaokuan immediately asked, "What is this person's background?"

The heavenly soldier said, "He calls himself the master of the Jade Wall Realm Immortal Sect."

"Hmm?" Wei Xiaokuan said, "Weren't the immortal cultivators in the Jade Wall Realm wiped out by us long ago?"

At this point, Wei Xiaokuan immediately said, "Please invite him in."

"Yes." The heavenly soldier acknowledged the order and then turned to leave.

Soon a Golden Immortal cultivator arrived in the hall and bowed to Wei Xiaokuan, saying, "Jin Shu, the master of the 'Flawless Immortal Sect,' greets the Military Commander."

Wei Xiaokuan stared at Jin Shu for a moment before speaking, "After we entered the Jade Wall Realm, we wiped out all the immortal cultivators in the Jade Wall Realm, but we couldn't find you. It seems that your hiding place is very well hidden."

Jin Shu laughed and said, "As a native immortal sect of the Jade Wall Realm, my Wuxia Immortal Sect naturally has its own backup plan."

Wei Xiaokuan nodded, then asked, "Under these circumstances, you dared to come see me in person, which shows you have quite the courage."

Jin Shu said, "While I am not lacking in courage, I do not know the breadth of your mind, Commander."

"Oh?" Wei Xiaokuan looked at Jin Shu and said, "You've come to see me this time, presumably disregarding life and death. Tell me, what do you want?"

Jin Shu said, "I want to find a way out for my family. I wonder if Pangu's appearance in the world would allow us to be accepted?"

"Hmm?" Wei Xiaokuan's expression turned serious, and his gaze toward Jin Shu suddenly became extremely solemn.

Since Pangu's appearance and invasion of the Five Elements Realm, the entire Platinum Immortal Realm has been destroyed, but no immortal sect has ever surrendered to Pangu's appearance.

Therefore, Wei Xiaokuan felt no joy, but instead was extremely vigilant, suspecting that this was a trick by the Wuxia Immortal Sect.

“I have never heard of a being in one Heavenly Dao manifesting in the mortal realm voluntarily surrendering to a being in another Heavenly Dao manifesting in the mortal realm. Could there be some trickery involved?” Wei Xiaokuan asked, his gaze fixed on Jin Shu.

Jin Shu shook his head and said, "No deception. Our Wuxia Immortal Sect sincerely requests our surrender."

Wei Xiaokuan frowned, his gaze fixed on Jin Shu, his expression uncertain. He was completely unsure about the matter. After a moment's thought, he said, "I must report this to the Grand Commandant's office."

Jin Shu smiled and said, "Please go ahead, Commander." Wei Xiaokuan added, "It will take some time."

Jin Shu said, "Then I will trouble the military commander to stay here for a while."

Wei Xiaokuan immediately ordered someone to take Jin Shu away and arrange for him to rest in a room, and specially arranged for two heavenly soldiers to 'take care' of him.

Wei Xiaokuan then immediately reported the matter to the Grand Commandant's office. Because of the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman, the report was submitted very quickly.

Soon the matter reached the four human emperors. "The immortal sects of the Jade Wall Realm want to surrender to my Pangu Realm." True King Zhuanxu said, "What do you say? Shall we discuss it?"

Emperor Ku True King said, "The fact that the Wuxia Immortal Sect was able to hide so well during the search by two small teams means they must have many backup plans in the Jade Wall Realm. Whether they have truly surrendered or are feigning surrender, they should not be underestimated."

Emperor Yao Zhenwang said, "I think we can accept their surrender. It's just a celestial sect. If it's a false surrender, we can just annihilate them. If it's a genuine surrender, that's unprecedented. If we publicize it properly, it will greatly help us in our attack on the Five Elements in the mortal world."

Emperor Shun asked, "What conditions did they offer?"

Zhuanxu Zhenwang shook his head and said, "The report did not mention it. It should be because Wei Xiaokuan dared not make a decision on his own, so he has not yet started to discuss the surrender with Jin Shu."

Emperor Ku Zhenwang said, "In that case, let's send someone over to take a look."

Emperor Yao Zhenwang asked, "What rank of person should I send?"

Zhuanxu Zhenwang said, "He must be at least a captain. If there is no deception, let him surrender directly. If there is deception, let him wipe out the Wuxia Immortal Sect and completely eradicate the immortal cultivators of the Jade Wall Realm."

The three True Kings nodded slightly, and then Emperor Shun True King asked, "Then who should we send?"

After a moment's thought, King Zhuanxu said, "The Immortal of War, Marquis of Huaiyin."

Han Xin, the Heavenly Immortal, Marquis of Huaiyin, and Commandant of the Human Emperor's Camp, led a thousand heavenly soldiers to the Jade Wall Realm.

Wei Xiaokuan led his entire military supervisor squad to greet him outside. Then he saw a celestial general dressed in the robes of a fourth-rank celestial official, with a solemn face, imposing presence, and extraordinary demeanor.

This person was none other than Han Xin, the Heavenly Military Immortal who was granted the title of 'Marquis of Huaiyin'.

“Wei Xiaokuan, the military commander of Yubijie, pays his respects to Your Majesty.” Wei Xiaokuan and the others hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Han Xin said, "Get up and bring Jin Shu into the hall. I want to see him."

Han Xin didn't waste any words. After speaking, he walked straight into the military command office and sat down in the hall.

Wei Xiaokuan immediately brought Jin Shu to the hall, first paying his respects to Han Xin, and then said, "My lord, this is Fellow Daoist Jin Shu, the master of the Flawless Immortal Sect of the Jade Wall Realm."

After saying this, Wei Xiaokuan introduced Han Xin to Jin Shu, who immediately bowed and said, "I am Jin Shu, and I pay my respects to the Marquis of Huaiyin."

Han Xin asked, "Jin Shu, what rank is your Flawless Immortal Sect?"

Jin Shu replied, "A mid-grade immortal sect."

Han Xin then asked, "How many immortal cultivators are there in your family?"

Jin Shu replied, "There are twenty-seven immortal cultivators and a population of one hundred and ninety-two."

Han Xin continued, "Since you possess immortal cultivators far surpassing the military commander, why do you still wish to surrender?"

Jin Shu replied, "I want to find a way to survive for my family."

Han Xin asked, "The Golden Immortal Abode is still putting up a fight, so how can you say there is no way out?"

Jin Shu cupped his hands and said, "Lord Huaiyin, are you perhaps unaware that all the Dao Lords of my Jinxing Immortal Mansion have perished?"

"Nonsense," Han Xin said. "The 'Golden Void Daoist Lord' of the Golden Path Immortal Mansion is still alive. How can you say that they have all perished?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Shu couldn't help but show a trace of sorrow on his face. "I am a cultivator of the Jin Xing clan, and I am naturally able to sense the aura of all Dao Lords. Just four days ago, Dao Lord Jin Xu's aura suddenly collapsed."

Han Xin frowned upon hearing this. Jin Xu Daojun was dead? But why hadn't he received the news?
Thinking of this, Han Xin immediately took out the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman and contacted Emperor Shun Zhenwang.

Han Xin asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, has Daoist Jinxu already perished?"

"Jin Xu Daojun? Fallen?" Emperor Shun Zhenwang was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I haven't heard of that? That's not true. Why are you suddenly asking about this? How did the surrender of the Wuxia Immortal Sect go?"

Upon hearing this, Han Xin reported Jin Shu's words to Emperor Shun Zhenwang, who was also completely bewildered.

Then Emperor Shun Zhenwang said, "Wait a moment."

After saying this, Emperor Shunzhen severed the connection with Han Xin. Han Xin glanced at Jin Shu, then fell silent and waited.

About fifteen minutes later, the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman in Han Xin's hand immediately played celestial music, and Han Xin immediately answered the call.

Then Emperor Shun Zhenwang appeared in his image, and said with a displeased expression, "We have already verified with the General Headquarters of Qitian Palace that Daoist Jinxu has indeed perished. He was killed by Grand Commandant Bi'ou. Grand Commandant Bi'ou was afraid that we would steal the credit, so he has not informed us and has been suppressing the news."

Upon hearing this, Han Xin immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I understand."

After the communication was lost, Han Xin said to Jin Shu, "You surrender to the appearance of Pangu now. What will you do if the Five Elements appear and win in the future?"

"Therefore, I have two requests, and I hope that Marquis of Huaiyin will grant them," Jin Shu said.

Han Xin said calmly, "What are your requirements? Tell me first."

Jin Shu said, "First, we will surrender to the present world of Pangu, refuse to be slaves, and have the same status as the beings in the present world of Pangu."

"Secondly, please send all members of my Wuxia Immortal Sect to settle in the Pangu Realm, instead of remaining in the Five Elements Realm."

"If you can agree to these two conditions, we will all come out and surrender."

"If you cannot agree to these two conditions, then please kill me. My immortal sect will continue to hide and wait for an opportunity."

Han Xin smiled faintly and said, "I can agree to your first condition, but I need to report the second condition to the Grand Commandant's office. I have no authority to make that decision."

Jin Shu nodded and said, "That's only right. I can continue to wait."

The reason Han Xin agreed to the first condition so readily was that Pangu, in his appearance in the world, did not intend to enslave the beings of the Five Elements.

Moreover, Pangu's appearance in the world could accommodate beings from other realms of Heaven, which is beyond doubt.

However, moving the Wuxia Immortal Sect into the present world of Pangu was not something Han Xin could decide on his own, so he had to report it.

The matter was quickly reported to the Grand Commandant's Office of the Human Emperor, but the four Human Emperors did not dare to make a decision. In the end, it was reported to the General Qitian Office, and then from the General Qitian Office, it was reported to the Chenhuan Jade Office.

When the Fire Spirit Immortal saw this report, he only pondered it slightly before issuing an edict to send it to the Five Elements Realm.

"The first condition can be agreed to, but the second condition can only be agreed to to a limited extent. We can promise the Wuxia Immortal Sect that if the power of Pangu's appearance has to leave the Five Elements World, we will take the people of the Wuxia Immortal Sect with us and evacuate back to the Pangu World."

"Furthermore, Jin Shu is hereby conferred the title of 'Jade Wall Realm God-King,' a sixth-rank celestial official of the Middle Yuan Realm, who will jointly rule the Jade Wall Realm with the 'Military Supervisory Office,' and oversee its affairs." (End of Chapter)
