I am a fairy in Journey to the West

'The Great Golden Immortal of Primordial True Fire' is the Dao fruit attained by the True Immortal of Fire Spirit. As can be seen from the name, she has reached the realm of returning to the innate from the acquired.

When the Fire Spirit Immortal stepped out of the Fire Spirit Realm, the gods of the Qitian Holy Palace, led by Sun Wukong, and the Grand Marshals of various battle camps were already waiting there.

"Greetings, Your Highness, True King of Fire Spirit." The gods and immortals bowed in unison as they watched the True Immortal of Fire Spirit emerge from the Fire Spirit Realm.

Fire Spirit Immortal looked at everyone, and with a mere gesture, a wisp of immortal power naturally arose from the heavens and earth, lifting everyone up.

Upon seeing this, all the gods and immortals bowed again and said, "Congratulations to the Fire Spirit True King on attaining the Great Dao Fruit."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The gods and immortals bowed in gratitude and rose.

At this moment, Sun Wukong said with a smile, "True King, I have prepared a celestial banquet in the Qitian Holy Palace to celebrate your attainment of the Great Dao Fruit. All the celestial officials of the Five Elements who are currently in the world and are of the sixth rank or above have been invited."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "The affairs of all parties must not be neglected."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Please rest assured, True King, all matters have been arranged properly, and each battle camp has a person in charge. In addition, the Qitian Holy Palace has already distributed rewards to the heavenly soldiers and celestial officials stationed in various realms."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Alright."

In the Qitian Holy Palace, the Baotan Hall, all the gods and immortals were seated at the celestial banquet.

Amidst the toasts from the crowd, the Fire Spirit Immortal drank a cup and then put it down. He first looked at Tiger Vanguard and then said, "I already have a way to suppress all the flames in the Fire Spirit Realm. Heavenly soldiers can now enter."

Tiger Vanguard replied, "Yes, sir."

Then, True Immortal Huo Ling turned his gaze to True King Ping Shui, "I wish to bestow upon Daoist Huo Fusheng the title of True King of the Fire Domain, but I wonder why Daoist Huo Fusheng is not here?"

Upon hearing this, a strange smile appeared on the faces of everyone present. King Pingshui cupped his hands and asked, "Is Your Highness referring to the monk Shihuo?"

"Hmm?" True Immortal Huo Ling raised an eyebrow and asked, "Has Daoist Huo Fusheng joined the Buddhist sect?"

Upon hearing this, all the immortals and gods present were slightly surprised. Ping Shui Zhen Wang only asked, "Are you referring to Monk Shi Huo?" Huo Ling Zhen Xian immediately asked Huo Fu Sheng if he had entered the Buddhist order.

“Yes,” replied Ping Shui Zhen Wang. “I went to the world of Pangu with Monk Shi Huo. When we visited Mount Sumeru, Monk Shi Huo received guidance from Amitabha Buddha and resolved his inner conflicts. Therefore, he became a disciple of Amitabha Buddha and began to practice Buddhism.”

"Hmm." True Immortal Fire Spirit nodded and said, "Everyone has their own destiny. In that case, let's choose someone else for the position of True King of the Fire Domain."

At this point, the Fire Spirit Immortal looked up at Sun Wukong and asked, "Great Sage Equal to Heaven, do you have any candidates for the True Kings of the four realms of Wood Spirit, Earth Spirit, Metal Spirit, and Fire Spirit?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Of course we have candidates, and they are all ready-made."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "Tell me, who are they?"

Sun Wukong said, "Zhang Tian, ​​Bi Ou, Zhen E, and Zhe Chong, the four Grand Marshals, are qualified to serve as True Kings of the four realms."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Nezha, Tiger Vanguard, and Chi Ling, who were present, were immediately dumbfounded.

"Me, a true king? Is that even possible?" Tiger Vanguard looked completely bewildered. Apart from his experience as the God of Lingtai Mountain, he had never been a true god who held power over a region.

Sun Wukong said, "Why not? It's not like I'm asking you to do things all by yourself. I'm going to give you a team of celestial officials."

Chi Ling, eager to try, rubbed her hands together and said, "That's great! I've wanted to govern a region for a long time, but I've never had the chance."

Nezha had already jumped up, "I am already a true king. If you want me to rule a realm, you have to give me the Jade Lotus Camp."

"You wish," said True Immortal Fire Spirit. "The Jade Lotus Camp is a war camp under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Pivot Province. Wouldn't it cause chaos if you gave it to me?"

"So what?" Nezha said, "My achievements are unparalleled, what's wrong with giving me the Jade Lotus Camp?"

"What?" Chi Ling, Tiger Vanguard, and the four Human Emperors were immediately dissatisfied with this. "Your achievements are unparalleled? Come, tell me how your achievements are unparalleled?" Zhuanxu asked.

Chi Ling asked, "Did you conquer the Five Elements Realm all by yourself?"

Tiger Vanguard retorted, "Do you think our three battalions don't exist?"

Seeing that he was surrounded and attacked, Nezha immediately backed down. "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that we should all lead our own battle camps to govern a region. Yes, that's what I meant."

There's no way around it; two hundred thousand fully equipped heavenly soldiers—that's just too powerful. Who wouldn't want that?

However, their actions put immense pressure on King Pingshui, since he did not have a 200,000-strong heavenly army under his command.

Seeing this, Huo Ling Zhenxian simply smiled faintly, "After the situation in the Five Elements Realm stabilizes, only one of the four existing battle camps—Human Emperor, Zhen'e, Zhechong, and Bi'ou—will remain here to guard the realm, while the rest will be withdrawn to the Pangu Realm. If you are unwilling to govern a realm, I will not force you; you can simply return to the Pangu Realm at that time."

Nezha's expression changed. He had heard of being short of money, but never of being short of officials. As long as the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm gave an order, would there be any fear of not having someone to become the true king?
Nezha's eyes darted around. He didn't want to return to the world of Pangu. If he could govern a region in the Five Elements Realm, it would undoubtedly be better than returning to the world of Pangu and being ruled by others.

If we really can't get the Jade Lotus Camp, then we don't need it. But we must get this job. We are much freer in the Five Elements Realm than in the Pangu Realm.

Thinking of this, Nezha immediately said, "Alright, then I don't want the Jade Lotus Camp anymore. I'm willing to stay in the Five Elements Realm and govern a region. But I still have a question." Fire Spirit True Immortal asked, "What question?"

Nezha asked, "If I were to become a true king of any realm and establish my own government, could I recruit divine generals myself?"

Fire Spirit Immortal laughed and said, "Of course, as long as your True King's Mansion can afford to support you."

“Then I have no problem.” Nezha clapped his hands and said, “I want the Green Wood Realm! This realm is the most suitable for me.”

The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Sun Wukong. "What does the Great Sage Equal to Heaven think?"

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "I think it's a good idea. Nezha, the Jade Lotus True King, is made of lotus root, so he is the perfect person to govern the Green Wood Realm."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Very well, once I return to the world of Pangu, I will issue an imperial edict to bestow the title."

Nezha then said, "Fire Spirit True King, I have another request."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "Do you have any other requests?"

Nezha said, "I will give half of the merits I have made in the Five Elements Manifestation to the Giant Spirit God, and exchange them for a few ranks of official position."

Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit Immortal smiled slightly. She did not refuse and nodded, saying, "Alright, I agree."

Nezha immediately stood up with a grin, cupped his hands, and bowed to the Fire Spirit Immortal, saying, "In that case, thank you very much, True King Congshe."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded slightly, then looked at Tiger Vanguard and Crimson Silk, "What are your thoughts? Do you intend to continue leading the heavenly soldiers, or become true kings in your own right?"

Is there even a need to choose? It's definitely a true king, especially a true king of a realm in the Five Elements Manifestation. That's a real local emperor, with power almost comparable to the Five Sacred Mountains Emperor.

Therefore, Tiger Vanguard and Red Silk bowed at the same time and said: "We are willing to be true kings of one region and to educate all living beings in the Heavenly Court."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After finishing their business, the celestial banquet that followed was purely about eating and drinking, and it lasted for three hours before it ended.

It was half a month later when the Fire Spirit True Immortal returned to the mortal world of Pangu. She first went to the Dust Palace to pay her respects to Zhuang Yan and express her gratitude.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "This is all your own good fortune, no need to thank me."

Afterwards, True Immortal Huo Ling informed Zhuang Yan about the matter of being conferred the title of king. After listening, Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, you can go and ask Great Sage Huang Feng first. If he is willing, write down the decree of conferment and then submit it to me."

Fire Spirit Immortal immediately rose and bowed, saying, "As you command."

Afterwards, True Immortal Huo Ling bid farewell to Zhuang Yan and returned to Huo Ling Palace. The first thing he did was to summon Great Sage Huang Feng to Huo Ling Palace for an audience.

Inside the Hall of Radiant Light, after the True Immortal Fire Spirit told the Great Sage Yellow Wind about being conferred the title of King, the Great Sage Yellow Wind was astonished. "I haven't made any contributions since I emerged from the world of wind and thunder. Can I be directly conferred the title of True King?"

Fire Spirit Immortal laughed and said, "You can take charge of the affairs of the True King's Palace. You are currently a fourth-rank immortal official, and you have not made any merits, so you cannot be granted the title of True King. However, you can take charge of the affairs of the Earth Spirit True Palace with the title of fourth-rank immortal official and Golden Spirit Marquis. After a few hundred years, you can be directly promoted to the official title."

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Huangfeng was quite moved. "If possible, I will obey the decree of the True King Shezhen."

"Alright." True Immortal Fire Spirit nodded and smiled, "Then you should go back first. An imperial decree will be issued in a few days."

The Great Sage Huangfeng stood up and bowed, saying, "Your subject takes his leave."

After the Great Sage Huang Feng left, the True Immortal Huo Ling asked Lu Lingmao, "Has the Giant Spirit Immortal Body been reshaped?"

Lu Lingmao quickly replied, "Your Highness, the reshaping is complete, but it is just an ordinary immortal body."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded, as this was expected. She then looked up at a celestial official in the hall and said, "Summon the Giant Spirit God to an audience."

Before long, the Giant Spirit God strode into the Hall of Radiant Light and bowed to the Fire Spirit Immortal, saying, "The Giant Spirit God pays respects to the True King of the Divine Realm."

The Fire Spirit Immortal's gaze fell upon the Giant Spirit God, only to find that he no longer possessed the imposing and towering figure he once had, but instead had grown to the size of an ordinary person.

This is because his original physical body perished, and the reconstructed immortal body was just an ordinary immortal body, so naturally it did not have the original form.

However, with his beard still intact, he still looks like a fierce general, so it doesn't seem too out of place.

Fire Spirit Immortal said, "Giant Spirit God, Nezha True King has transferred half of the merits he made in the Five Elements Manifestation to you. Now I appoint you as 'Giant Spirit Marquis,' a fifth-rank immortal official of the Middle Yuan, with the additional title of Demon-Subduing Heavenly General, and the governor of the military affairs of the three states of Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Guazhou in the Southern Continent."

The giant spirit suddenly raised his head, then bowed and said, "Your subject thanks you for your grace."

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled slightly and said, "From now on, you can no longer be called Giant Spirit God, but Giant Spirit Marquis. You should go first. The Celestial Masters of the Heavenly Craft Academy will soon build a divine palace for you in Liangzhou. You can go directly to your post. All officials in the divine palace are subordinate to you. You can carefully select them and then report the list to the Jade Palace of the Mortal Realm for official appointment."

Marquis Juling bowed again and said, "Your subject, Marquis Juling, accepts the decree!" (End of Chapter)
