I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 778 Capturing the Fire Ancestor

"It's alright." True Immortal Huo Ling slowly stood up, a small flame bound in his right palm, which was the wisp of Nine Heavens Profound Fire from Zhong Wuyan's body.

"A snake demon who hasn't even become an immortal actually possesses a divine artifact like the Nine Heavens Profound Fire." The Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "What is the origin of this snake demon?"

Tieguai Li said, "This person is named Bai Suzhen. She is a white snake from Qingcheng Mountain who attained enlightenment. On the day she transformed into human form, she was seen by the Old Mother of Lishan who was passing by and was given Taoist magic pills."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "What about her Nine Heavens Profound Fire Sword? What is its origin?"

"That's unclear," Tieguai Li said. "However, she has three highly skilled individuals by her side."

"Three highly skilled individuals?" Fire Spirit True Immortal looked at Iron Crutch Li. "What kind of highly skilled individuals?"

Tieguai Li said, "There was a monk, a Taoist priest, and a young man. The old Taoist priest was extremely skilled and could defeat me with a wave of his hand."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked, "Didn't the Hangzhou Governing God Lord intervene when the White Snake secretly married a mortal?"

Tieguai Li pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't care, I don't know what happened."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded, then said to Zhong Wuyan, "You will recover in a few more days. I will take this Nine Heavens Profound Fire with me."

Zhong Wuyan stood up from the couch, cupped his hands and bowed to Huo Ling Zhenxian, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, True King."

Fire Spirit Immortal waved his hand and said to Iron Crutch Li, "This matter involves Jade Purity Saint Ancestor Zi Yuanjun. I happen to have some time recently, so I will personally go to Hangzhou now."

Upon hearing this, Tieguai Li said, "I will go with Your Highness."

“No need,” said True Immortal Fire Spirit. “True Person can stay here to take care of True Person Wu Yan.”

Tieguai Li nodded and said, "Okay."

In the blink of an eye, Fire Spirit Immortal had arrived in Hangzhou. She did not go directly to find Bai Suzhen, but instead first toured various caves and dojos throughout Hangzhou.

Then the Fire Spirit Immortal discovered that the gods, immortals, demons, and humans in the entire Hangzhou were extremely orderly, and no one crossed the boundary.

In short, the Hangzhou Governing God is very competent, and the boundaries between gods, immortals, demons, and mortals are firmly controlled.

Of course, Bai Suzhen's side is the only exception.

However, the Fire Spirit Immortal was no longer planning to go to Yue Fei, the God of Governance in Hangzhou, because she knew there must be another hidden story behind it.

Since Yue Fei was able to govern Hangzhou so well, it shows that he did not ignore Bai Suzhen's affairs; there must have been other reasons why he did not care.

So the Fire Spirit Immortal came directly to Baoan Hall. Xu Xian was not here today, so Bai Suzhen was in charge of the pharmacy, and Xiaoqing also came to help.

Upon seeing the Fire Spirit Immortal, Xiao Qing suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation, which became even more pronounced as she looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal.

Xiaoqing's expression changed, and she immediately went to Bai Suzhen's side. "Sister, trouble is coming again."

Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen quickly turned her head to look at the door. The moment she saw the Fire Spirit Immortal, she felt the vast heavens pressing down on her.

Bai Suzhen even had difficulty breathing for a moment, but despite this, she still managed to take a few steps and went to the door.

"Fellow Daoist, what is it?" Bai Suzhen approached Huo Ling Zhenxian, bowed respectfully, and then asked.

The Fire Spirit Immortal, dressed in a crimson round-necked robe and wearing a sash, stood tall and straight with his hands behind his back, saying, "I am looking for someone named Bai Suzhen."

Xiao Qing's eyes sharpened, and she put her right hand behind her back, where the Azure Cloud Sword had already appeared.

Fire Spirit Immortal merely glanced at Xiao Qing and said, "Your sharp edge is not a good thing."

Bai Suzhen was initially startled, knowing that the Fire Spirit Immortal had come to cause her trouble, but upon hearing this, she couldn't help but turn to look at Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing had her right hand behind her back, but the tip of her Biyun sword was already protruding from behind her shoulder.

Bai Suzhen looked helpless and said, "Xiaoqing, quickly put the sword away."

Xiaoqing took a step back and said, "Sister, this person has ill intentions."

Bai Suzhen said, "Guests have come from afar. Is this how you treat them?"

Xiaoqing simply drew her Azure Cloud Sword, then raised it and asked the Fire Spirit Immortal, "Let's not beat around the bush, what's your background?"

"Xiaoqing!" Bai Suzhen glared at Xiaoqing, then cupped her hands to Huo Ling Zhenxian and said, "Fellow Daoist, I am Bai Suzhen. May I ask how you are addressed?"

Fire Spirit Immortal said, "You don't need to know who I am, Bai Suzhen. Do you know that marrying a mortal violates the Heavenly Laws?"

"I know," Bai Suzhen said with a wry smile. "Quite a few people have said this to me these days."

After saying that, Bai Suzhen looked at Huo Ling Zhenxian with a serious expression, "Fellow Daoist, I have said this to countless people countless times. I was enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva to descend to the mortal world to repay her kindness."

"My connection with the mortal Xu Xian was all out of gratitude, and it was under the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva," Bai Suzhen said.

Fire Spirit Immortal frowned slightly. "Guanyin Bodhisattva? When did she instruct you?"

Bai Suzhen said, "Just a year ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva manifested her power on Mount Emei. When I went to worship her, I received guidance from Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Fire Spirit Immortal sneered and said, "Nonsense! Guanyin Bodhisattva announced her seclusion more than 1,200 years ago and has not emerged since. She has not even stepped out of Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea. How could she possibly go to Mount Emei to guide you?"

Bai Suzhen froze on the spot. In recent days, many immortal cultivators had caused her trouble, and many people did not believe her.

But the only one who questions the authenticity of Guanyin Bodhisattva is the one right in front of us.

"Fellow Daoist, if you have anything to say, please speak freely. If you have also come to arrest me, then please do so. How can you be disrespectful to the Bodhisattva?" Bai Suzhen said with a serious expression.

Huo Ling Zhenxian said calmly, "I am telling the truth. Guanyin Bodhisattva has never come out of seclusion since she went into seclusion more than 1,200 years ago, nor has she ever left Luojia Mountain. The Guanyin Bodhisattva you met is probably a fake."

"Hmph!" Bai Suzhen snorted coldly upon hearing this. "Fellow Daoist, are you saying that someone dares to impersonate Guanyin Bodhisattva right under the nose of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva on Mount Emei?"

"As long as your cultivation is sufficient, what is there to be afraid of?" Fire Spirit Immortal said, "The mortal realm is not a place for you to linger. Go back to where you came from."

Bai Suzhen raised her hand and summoned the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Sword. Holding the sword, she asked, "What if I don't leave?"

Xiaoqing, unable to contain herself any longer, said, "Sister, why waste words with her? Just fight her out."

Fire Spirit Immortal's gaze fell on the sword in Bai Suzhen's hand. Suddenly, she raised her right hand slightly, and Bai Suzhen reacted extremely quickly, thrusting her sword directly at Fire Spirit Immortal.

The moment the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Sword was thrust out, a 'crack' sound rang out, and then the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Sword stopped right in front of the Fire Spirit Immortal's face.

Bai Suzhen looked over in astonishment. The Nine Heavens Profound Fire Sword, which had killed countless immortal cultivators over the past few months, was now held in the five fingers of the Fire Spirit True Immortal, and could not exert any of its power.

But Bai Suzhen remained calm. After a brief moment of astonishment, she immediately let out a soft shout. Instantly, a burst of Nine Heavens Profound Fire erupted from the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Sword, transforming into a fire dragon that lunged directly at the Fire Spirit Immortal.

However, the Fire Spirit Immortal merely sharpened his gaze, and a burst of fire energy emanated from each of his eyes, causing the Nine Heavens Profound Fire to retreat directly back into the sword in fright.

With a flick of his finger, the Fire Spirit Immortal sent the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Sword flying back with a 'ding', and Bai Suzhen was also sent staggering back more than ten steps with a 'thump thump thump'.

"Sister!" Xiaoqing hurriedly caught up with Bai Suzhen, helped her steady, and asked, "How are you?"

"It's alright." Bai Suzhen's face was full of shock. She steadied herself first, and then said to Xiaoqing, "This person is terrifyingly strong."

Xiaoqing said, "So what if she's strong? Am I afraid of her?" After saying that, she drew her sword and rushed forward, and Bai Suzhen couldn't stop her.

As Fire Spirit Immortal watched Xiao Qing rush forward, wisps of fire suddenly emanated from within three steps of him. Xiao Qing was completely unaware of this; if she entered the fire, she would be burned to ashes in an instant.

Just then, a voice rang out, "Wait a minute."

Upon hearing this voice, the flames surrounding True Immortal Fire Spirit instantly dissipated, and Xiao Qing also abruptly stopped in her tracks.

Xiaoqing turned around and saw Zhuang Yan walking over. The moment Huo Ling Zhenxian saw Zhuang Yan, he walked straight past Xiaoqing and stood in front of Zhuang Yan.

Before he could even utter the words "Greetings, Your Majesty," Zhuang Yan reached out and supported the Fire Spirit Immortal.

Fire Spirit Immortal looked up at Zhuang Yan, then immediately understood and straightened up, cupping his hands and saying, "Greetings, fellow Daoist."

"Master Zhuang, do you know each other?" Xiaoqing asked when she saw this scene.

Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled, "That's right. I'm an old acquaintance of Fellow Daoist Huo. I didn't expect to meet you here today. Fellow Daoist Huo, are these two young ladies, Qing and Bai, also my friends? I think we should just let this matter go."

Fire Spirit Immortal turned and glanced at Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Bai Suzhen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put away the Nine Heavens Profound Fire Sword. She then said to Xiaoqing, who was standing there in a daze, "Xiaoqing, go and make tea for the Fire Immortal."

"No need." Zhuang Yan stopped Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, who were preparing to entertain guests, and then turned to Huo Ling Zhenxian and said, "Fellow Daoist Huo, it's been many days since we last met. This pharmacy is not the place to catch up. Come on, let's go outside and have a few drinks. It's on me."

Fire Spirit Immortal cupped his hands and said, "That is exactly what I was thinking."

So Zhuang Yan told Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, and then left Baoan Hall with Huo Ling Zhenxian.

After leaving Baoan Hall, Zhuang Yan took Huo Ling Zhenxian with him and used instant teleportation to arrive above a boundless sea, which was outside the land boundary of Nanzhanbu Continent.

At this moment, the Fire Spirit Immortal bowed again and said, "Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."

Zhuang Yan helped Huo Ling Zhenxian up and asked with a smile, "Why did you go to Hangzhou?"

Huo Ling Zhenxian then reported to Zhuang Yan about Tieguai Li bringing Zhong Wuyan to heal his injuries, and then asked, "Your Majesty, what exactly is going on with Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian? And what about Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "This matter is complicated, so let me just explain it to you directly."

After speaking, Zhuang Yan raised his right hand and touched the Fire Spirit True Immortal's brow. As a golden light flashed in the Fire Spirit True Immortal's spiritual platform, the entire cause and effect instantly merged into the Fire Spirit True Immortal's sea of ​​consciousness and memory.

Fire Spirit Immortal suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is."

"When you return to the Jade Palace later, act as if nothing happened. Also, this matter must not be leaked," Zhuang Yan instructed.

Fire Spirit Immortal cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, then turned and pointed to the vast, calm sea beneath his feet, saying, "Do you know where this is?"

Upon hearing this, True Immortal Huo Ling took a closer look and then said, "Although this sea is boundless, it is calm and tranquil without wind or waves. Could it be the Boundless Ocean?"

“Indeed, this is the Boundless Ocean.” Zhuang Yan then asked, “Do you know why I brought you here?”

Huo Ling Zhenxian said, "Your Majesty has your reasons for bringing me here."

Zhuang Yan smiled faintly and didn't say a word for the next hour.

Fire Spirit Immortal remained silent, simply standing quietly beside Zhuang Yan.

After an unknown amount of time, the boundless sea below suddenly erupted into a raging storm without warning, with towering waves rising from the dark waters, as if to swallow the sky and the earth.

At the same time, a huge Tai Chi Bagua diagram unfolded in the air, radiant with divine energy and majestic power, crashing down with the might to suppress the three realms.

Under the suppression of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, a figure shrouded in the mighty power of innate true fire was struggling to hold on; it was none other than the Fire Dao Ancestor.

The Fire Dao Ancestor was clearly at his wit's end. Faced with the suppression of the Tai Chi Bagua diagram, he had no other means but to continuously resist with his own great power.

Then another ethereal figure appeared on the Taiji Bagua diagram. Huo Ling Zhenxian's gaze sharpened. Now that she was also a venerable deity in the Heavenly Court, she naturally recognized who the old Taoist was.

"The Supreme Lord Laozi?" Huo Ling Zhenxian's tone was full of astonishment.

Zhuang Yan asked with a smile, "Do you know who that person down there is?"

The question was easy. Huo Ling Zhenxian replied, "The person who can make Lao Jun personally suppress him is definitely not a Great Awakening Golden Immortal or a divine cultivator below the Great Awakening Golden Immortal level. This person must be an outsider Great Luo Golden Immortal who has infiltrated the world of Pangu."

Zhuang Yan laughed and said to Huo Ling Zhenxian, "That's right, this person is the 'Fire Element Dao Ancestor' among the five Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao."

Fire Spirit Immortal's eyes flashed with divine light. She finally understood why Zhuang Yan had brought her here.

"What are you laughing at?" Laozi shouted at Zhuang Yan, "Aren't you coming over to help? You're just making this old man work so hard."

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Your Laozi's magical power is boundless. You can suppress him without my help."

Lao Tzu said, "What's the use of suppression? We should trap him and then banish him into eternal silence."

After he finished speaking, Laozi's Taiji Bagua diagram, carrying supreme power, pressed down and shattered all of Huo Xing Dao Zu's resistance.

After the Fire Dao Ancestor let out a miserable scream of unwillingness, he was directly suppressed by the Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

Zhuang Yan immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Excellent! Laozi's skill is still sharp!"

Lao Tzu said, "Quickly bring your earthenware jar to put it in. My Tai Chi Bagua diagram is an intangible thing and cannot suppress it for long."

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, flipped his hand and took out a pottery jar, threw it out and shouted "Collect!" The Fire Dao Ancestor had no resistance at all and was collected into the pottery jar in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the pottery jar fly back into Zhuang Yan's hand, Fire Spirit True Immortal's face was filled with shock. Her gaze towards Zhuang Yan shone brightly. She never expected that Zhuang Yan's cultivation and power had reached such a level that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could be easily captured and suppressed by him. (End of this chapter)
