I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 787 Extracting the Origin

The Four Symbols Dao Ancestor was startled to see Zhuang Yan suddenly appear, but quickly calmed down.

The two Dao Ancestors, Shaoyin and Shaoyang, stood up first and said to the Dao Ancestors Taiyin and Taiyang, "Fellow Daoists, please continue your previous efforts here and banish this Dao Ancestor Hongjun into eternal silence. We two will deal with this person ourselves."

The Sun and the Taiyin Ancestor nodded and said, "Then we'll leave it to you two."

The Shaoyin and Shaoyang Dao Ancestors each harnessed their immense power and attacked Zhuang Yan in an instant. Their power transformed into two great sword techniques, Shaoyang and Shaoyang, which broke through the boundary and cleaved through the air, directly slashing at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan's profound and formless power surged forth in an instant, suppressing the Shao Yang and Shao Yin sword techniques with overwhelming force.

"Ah?" Shao Yang and Shao Yin Ancestor's expressions changed. Without hesitation, they immediately released all their great power to resist Zhuang Yan.

But Zhuang Yan did not give them any chance. He simply pressed his hands down, and the power of the Shaoyin Sword Force could not be sustained and collapsed directly.

Before they could react, the immense power of the Shaoyang Sword Force collapsed directly under Zhuang Yan's heavy pressure.

"Not good, let's go!" Shaoyang Daozu shouted, and was about to leave with Shaoyin Daozu.

However, two pottery jars had already appeared in Zhuang Yan's left hand. In a moment, he threw them at the two of them. The two pottery jars flew to the top of Shao Yang and Shao Yin's heads respectively. Then, a pure and mysterious power fell from each pottery jar, instantly illuminating Shao Yang and Shao Yin's ancestor and directly absorbing them.

Zhuang Yan put the pottery jar back into his sleeve, and this scene was clearly seen by the three Dao Ancestors below: Hongjun, Taiyang, and Taiyin.

Hongjun Daozu, needless to say, had a broad smile on his face, but Taiyang and Taiyin were horrified.

The two hurriedly turned their power to deal with Zhuang Yan, but at this moment, Dao Ancestor Hongjun decisively intervened and restrained the power of both the Sun and the Moon.

At this moment, Zhuang Yan unleashed his immense power to suppress the attack, forcing the two Dao Ancestors, Sun and Moon, to hastily allocate thirty percent of their power to counter it.

However, this thirty percent of its power was like a clay chicken or a tile dog under Zhuang Yan's power, collapsing instantly upon contact.

At this point, it would be difficult for Taiyin and Taiyang to escape. Zhuang Yanwei pressed down with his power, first suppressing the two and blocking all escape routes, and then brought out the pottery jar to capture them both again.

Zhuang Yan put the pottery jar that sealed the two Dao Ancestors, Taiyin and Taiyang, into his sleeve, then withdrew his power and looked down.

Hongjun Daozu laughed loudly, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Divine Firmament Emperor, I'm afraid both the Victorious Fighting Buddha and I would have perished here."

Zhuang Yan looked at Dao Ancestor Hongjun and asked, "Fellow Daoist, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Dao Ancestor Hongjun put away the Jade Tablet of Creation. "I've only suffered some loss of cultivation. Don't worry, I can recover before the creation of Chaos. As for the Victorious Fighting Buddha..."

Zhuang Yan's gaze fell on Sun Wukong, only to see that his body was loose and riddled with holes, clearly indicating that his physical body had been broken.

Hongjun Daozu said, "The indestructible body of the Victorious Fighting Buddha has been broken, alas."

Zhuang Yan smiled faintly and said, "These are all minor matters."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed at Sun Wukong. Instantly, golden light shone brightly around Sun Wukong, and in the blink of an eye, his broken indestructible body was rebuilt.

Sun Wukong suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his physical body, and then immediately got up and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying, "Thank you, Uncle."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand, then said to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Sun Wukong, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, Wukong, you should go back first. I have an important matter to attend to."

Hongjun Daozu nodded, then bid farewell to Zhuang Yan and transformed into a beam of light to return to his own Daoist temple.

"Uncle, would you like to come and sit in my Qitian Holy Mansion?" Sun Wukong invited Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Is your Qitian Holy Mansion still usable? You should go back and check it out first."

After saying that, Zhuang Yan raised his hand and waved it, immediately sending Sun Wukong back to the Lingbai Realm.

After seeing Sun Wukong off, Zhuang Yan went directly into the Lingtai Treasure Realm, took out the four pottery jars, and released the Four Symbols Dao Ancestors.

After the Four Symbols Dao Ancestor appeared, he immediately looked at Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan looked at the four of them and said, "Fellow Daoists, things have come to this point. Why not submit to the Heavenly Dao of Pangu?"

Taiyin Ancestor looked at Zhuang Yan, "You are the Divine Firmament Emperor?"

“Not bad,” Zhuang Yan said. “It seems you’ve already heard of me.”

Taiyin Ancestor laughed and said, "I had heard the fellow Daoists of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao say this before, but I thought they were exaggerating. I didn't expect you to be even more amazing than they said."

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Since you know how powerful I am, why don't you submit to Pangu's Heavenly Dao as soon as possible?"

“Impossible.” The Sun Dao Ancestor resolutely refused. “We would rather remain forever silent than submit to your Pangu Heavenly Dao.”

Zhuang Yan laughed heartily and said, "Alright, this is your own choice. In that case, may the four of you attain eternal annihilation!"

As Zhuang Yan finished speaking, boundless power descended with him. The Four Symbols Dao Ancestor was powerless to resist this power, and his cultivation and power were quickly dissipated.

Just as the four were about to be banished to eternal silence, the Four Symbols Dao Ancestor suddenly discovered something extremely terrifying.

"You are extracting our primordial Qi!" exclaimed the Shaoyin Ancestor.

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Do you think it's as simple as just eternal annihilation here? I've taken your primordial Qi, and you'll never have a chance to revive."

How could you do this!

"No!"

But the voices of the Four Symbols Dao Ancestors quickly disappeared without a trace, because they had been banished into eternal silence and had their primordial energy extracted.

As mentioned before, these Heavenly Dao Grand Luo Golden Immortals are transformed from the innate primordial power. For example, the Four Symbols Dao Ancestor is transformed from the Four Symbols Primordial Qi of the Four Symbols Heavenly Dao.

Now that Zhuang Yan has extracted their primordial Qi, they will never be able to awaken from their eternal silence. They can only gradually perish in the long silence and eventually return to nature.

Zhuang Yan banished the Four Symbols Dao Ancestors into eternal silence, collected the Four Symbols Primordial Qi, and then left the Spirit Platform Treasure Realm, reappearing in the Five Elements Great World.

Zhuang Yan summoned Sun Wukong, Chi Ling, and Hu Xianfeng in the Fire Spirit Realm. Only these three were present; there were no others.

In the main hall of the True King's Mansion in the Fire Spirit Realm, Zhuang Yan pointed at Xiao Qing and said to Chi Ling, "I've found you a disciple. What do you think of her?" Chi Ling turned to look at Xiao Qing, then turned back to Zhuang Yan and bowed, saying, "If Your Majesty approves, then of course it's good."

"Hey." Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't just listen to me. What do you think? If you think she's good, then take her as your disciple. If you don't think she's good, then I'll find someone else."

Upon hearing this, Chi Ling stood up and walked over to Xiao Qing to examine her closely.

"Are you also a snake demon?" Chi Ling asked.

Xiaoqing suddenly looked up at Chiling and saw that her eyes, which were like jade, were also vertical pupils. She immediately understood.

"Are you the True King of Panlin?" Xiaoqing asked.

Chi Ling laughed heartily and asked Xiao Qing, "You little snake, you know my name too?"

Xiao Qing said, "Who doesn't know the three True Kings under the Divine Firmament Emperor? I've also been to the Divine Firmament Temple to offer incense quite often."

Chi Ling smiled and asked, "Since that's the case, then let me ask you, who do you think is more powerful, me or Yu Tu Zhen Wang?"

Yu Tu Zhenwang is Tiger Vanguard. Without thinking, Xiao Qing replied, "If we only consider common sense, I don't know the answer to this question, because I have never seen Pan Lin Zhenwang and Yu Tu Zhenwang compete."

“But if True King Panlin accepts me as your disciple, then it is naturally because True King Panlin is so powerful,” Xiaoqing said.

Chi Ling laughed again and turned to Zhuang Yan, saying, "This little girl is interesting and suits my taste. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Xiao Qing, since True King Panlin is willing to accept you as his disciple, then you should become his disciple."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing immediately knelt down and performed the disciple-acceptance ceremony to Chiling, who then accepted Xiaoqing as his disciple on the spot.

After becoming Chi Ling's disciple, Zhuang Yan said to Xiao Qing, "Qing girl, go down first. I have something to discuss with your master."

Xiaoqing bowed and accepted the order, then took her leave.

After Xiaoqing left, Zhuang Yan immediately said to Hu Xianfeng and Chi Ling, "You two were the first subordinates to follow me. I ask you, if I asked you to give up your positions as True Kings and come with me in the future, would you be willing?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Ling and Tiger Vanguard did not hesitate at all, and immediately stood up and said to Zhuang Yan, "Your Majesty, everything we have now is a gift from Your Majesty. No matter when or where, we are willing to follow Your Majesty."

“Very good.” Zhuang Yan nodded slightly and said, “In that case, you should entrust your primordial spirits to me first.”

"Hmm?" Chi Ling and Tiger Vanguard were taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Your Majesty, how can we entrust our primordial spirits here?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "All you need to do is have this thought in your mind."

So Tiger Vanguard and Red Silk closed their eyes and thought of entrusting their primordial spirits to Zhuang Yan. Then they felt their primordial spirits were entrusted to a mysterious place and quickly stabilized, and were protected by Zhuang Yan's great power.

"Alright," Zhuang Yan said with a smile, "Have a seat."

The two opened their eyes and looked at each other. At that moment, they both had the same feeling: that they were no longer beings brought to life by Pangu.

The two men accepted the order and took their seats. Then Zhuang Yan turned his gaze to Sun Wukong and asked, "Wukong, what are your thoughts?"

Sun Wukong said, "Uncle has been kind to me as heavy as a mountain. If you would also allow me to entrust my primordial spirit to him, then I will do so."

Zhuang Yan replied, "No, only those who are willing to follow me need to rely on me. I ask you, are you willing to leave the Pangu world with me in the future? Answer from the bottom of your heart."

Sun Wukong remained silent for a long time before finally raising his head and saying to Zhuang Yan, "Uncle, my roots are in Flower Fruit Mountain."

“Alright, I understand your thoughts.” Zhuang Yan nodded and said with a smile, “Then you can stay in the Pangu mortal realm.”

Sun Wukong said, "Uncle, I'm sorry."

"Hahaha." Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? Since you call me uncle, you will always be my nephew, and that will never change."

Sun Wukong's eyes reddened slightly, and he nodded emphatically.

Meanwhile, in the world of wind and thunder, Laozi and Buddha Tathagata reunited.

After traveling for more than five years, the two finally found the "Four Seasons Dao Ancestors" in the Wind and Thunder Great World. With the cooperation of the two Dao Ancestors, Heavenly Wind and Heavenly Thunder, they suppressed all four Dao Ancestors: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

However, the Wind and Thunder Great World was also tormented in these five years, simply because the Four Seasons Dao Ancestor was hiding in the Wind and Thunder Great World, completely disrupting the four seasons of the Wind and Thunder Great World, causing all things in the Wind and Thunder Great World to be stagnant and the world to be desolate.

Fortunately, Laozi and Buddha seized upon Xia Daozu's slight oversight amidst the chaos of the four seasons, thus exposing the Four Seasons Daozu.

"No wonder the world, the four seasons, and the seasons have been in chaos all these years, causing widespread suffering and death, and we still couldn't find the cause. It turns out that these four people are the culprits," said Dao Ancestor Tianfeng with resentment.

Tianlei Daozu bowed to Laozi and Tathagata and said, "If it weren't for the arrival of you two fellow Daoists, we two would probably not have been able to find out the origins of these four people, which would have truly harmed the living beings of the Wind and Thunder Great World."

"Not at all," Laozi laughed. "We are here on the orders of the Great Heavenly Venerable to capture the heretical Grand Luo Immortals. This is our duty."

The Buddha said, "Next, we just need to wait for the Great Emperor Shenxiao to arrive, take these four people in, and then banish them to eternal silence."

Tianfeng and Tianlei Daozu nodded and said, "Alright, then we will stay here and keep watch over the Four Seasons Daozu, and wait for the arrival of the Divine Firmament Emperor."

A month later, Zhuang Yan finally arrived in the Wind and Thunder Great World from the Five Elements Great World. After exchanging greetings with the four, he took in the Four Seasons Dao Ancestor.

Lao Jun said directly, "These four are in your care, Great Emperor Shenxiao. We won't go to the Lingtai Treasure Realm. Buddha and I still need to go elsewhere to hunt down other heretical Great Luo Immortals."

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, let me know as soon as you have any news."

The Buddha smiled and said, "That's natural."

Afterwards, Laozi and Tathagata bid farewell to Zhuang Yan, Tianfeng, and Tianlei, and then left the Wind and Thunder Great World.

Meanwhile, Tianfeng and Tianlei Daozu hosted a banquet for Zhuang Yan at their respective Daoist temples. After the banquet, Zhuang Yan returned to the Lingtai Treasure Realm, extracted the primordial Qi 'Four Seasons Primordial Qi' from the Four Seasons Daozu, and then banished the Four Seasons Daozu into eternal silence.

Thus, only six heretical Grand Luo Golden Immortals who had infiltrated Pangu's mortal realm remain uncaptured. (End of Chapter)
