I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 2: The Little Demon Discusses the Immortals, and the Will of Heaven Is Spreading

Xiniu Hezhou, Lingtai Mountain Range, is more than 300 miles wide and has three main peaks: Danchiling, Fangcun Mountain, and Liuzhen Peak.

The Lingtai Mountain Temple is located on the first peak, 'Danchi Ridge'. From this high point, you can overlook the entire Lingtai Mountain Range. This is also the place where the land veins for thousands of miles converge, and the immortal spirit is the most intense.

Zhuang Yan returned to the mountain god temple, and his figure turned into a ray of divine light and flew directly into the center of the eyebrows of the mountain god statue, where the mountain god's "abode" was located.

Zhuang Yan returned to the temple, sat down cross-legged in front of the desk, and began to play with the Jade Sea Pearl in his hand.

At this moment, Zhuang Yan's mind moved, and the clear divine voice sounded again in his mind: "The Cave Heaven True Eye has been activated."

A flash of true light flashed in Zhuang Yan's eyes, and he immediately saw through the Jade Sea Pearl, "It's actually a spiritual treasure."

There are five kinds of magic weapons, from bottom to top: real treasure, spiritual treasure, immortal treasure, acquired treasure, and innate treasure.

There are also five categories of weapons, from bottom to top: real weapons, spiritual weapons, immortal weapons, acquired weapons, and innate weapons.

This Jade Sea Pearl is a spiritual treasure that contains the power of the vast ocean. No wonder even Marshal Deng, who is a Xuanxian, and General Bafang Yunlei are unable to do anything about it.

The heavenly soldiers and generals mostly use weapons and are good at close combat, so their physical strength is strong, but they are inevitably weak in magic weapons.

However, he happened to not have any magic weapon, and since he had taken the Jade Sea Pearl, it naturally belonged to him.

Zhuang Yan immediately had an idea and activated the "Instant Refining". A golden light flashed on the Jade Sea Pearl, and Ao Qu's spiritual energy dissipated in an instant, replaced by Zhuang Yan's spiritual energy.

Then Zhuang Yan put the refined Jade Sea Pearl into his sleeve and sent it into the 'Infinite Space'.

Ever since Zhuang Yan broke free of his fate and transformed from a 'golden finger' into an innate creature, most of his 'golden finger' functions have been unusable and he needs to recover them slowly in the future.

The only way to restore the function of the golden finger is to continuously absorb this "power of heaven" to repair itself.

Fortunately, after traveling to this world, he accidentally met Laozi, who saw that he had extraordinary roots and was born with divine power, so he wanted to help him and recommended him to become the god of Lingtai Mountain.

After becoming the god of Lingtai Mountain, Zhuang Yan was able to initially absorb extremely small amounts of the power of the Heavenly Dao because he was entrusted by the Heavenly God to perform the duties of the Heavenly Dao.

But after years of hard work, Zhuang Yan has successfully restored six functions, namely: adding status, infinite space, cave heaven true eye, instant refining, one thought capture, and one thought seal.

Although with these six major abilities, Zhuang Yan can travel to all four continents, but he still needs to improve his Taoism realm.

Because if he wants to continue to recover his great power, he must absorb more Heavenly Power, and there are only two ways to absorb Heavenly Power:

First, the higher the rank of the immortal officials in heaven and the Taoist and Buddha positions, the closer they are to the Heavenly Way, and the more power of the Heavenly Way they absorb.

Second, the realm of Taoism. The higher the level of Taoism, the closer one is to the Heavenly Dao, and the more power of the Heavenly Dao one absorbs.

Over the years, Zhuang Yan had only been focused on absorbing the tiny amount of Heavenly Dao power to restore his functions, and had somewhat neglected his cultivation, causing his level of cultivation to remain at the entry-level stage of 'refining essence into qi'.

Now that the six functions mentioned above have been restored and the basic means of survival are already in place, we can temporarily stop focusing on this aspect and improve our cultivation first.

He is currently practicing the "Hui Yuan Jing Xin Fa" given to him by Taishang Laojun, but he always feels that this method is not very good and it is a bit slow to practice.

"It's a pity that it will take a long time to restore the 'Edit Everything' function, otherwise I could easily edit a supreme Taoist method." Zhuang Yan felt troubled.

However, having a method is better than having none. Zhuang Yan immediately collected his mind, cleared his heart, began to sit in meditation, and practiced the "Hui Yuan Jing Xin Method".

As Zhuang Yan practiced his skills, the immortal energy within a hundred miles of Danchiling began to gather towards the mountain temple, and then continuously flowed into the center of the eyebrows of the mountain god statue.

Four or five days passed, and Zhuang Yan, who was meditating in the monastery, was suddenly awakened by a quarrel.

Zhuang Yan had a blank expression on his face. He looked out of the monastery and saw two little tiger monsters with tiger heads, wearing cloth clothes and grass rings on their heads, one about ten years old and the other about eight years old, walking into the mountain temple.

The two little tiger demons argued until their faces turned red, and they even pushed each other with their short hands. They looked very angry. The little tiger demon on the left said, "If you don't believe me, let's ask Grandpa Tiger Jun!"

The little tiger demon on the right said, "Ask if you want. Just wait and see. What I say is definitely right."

After saying that, the two little tiger demons came to the altar angrily, each took out two wild fruits picked from the mountains from their arms and placed them on the altar, then picked up two incense sticks from the altar, each lit the incense, raised the incense sticks and bowed three times, and then inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

After lighting the incense, the two little tiger demons kowtowed three times to the statue, chanting, "Grandpa Mountain God, please show up! Grandpa Mountain God, please show up!

'Om'

As the two little tiger demons continued to chant, just a moment later the statue of the mountain god in front of them began to emit a divine light.

The two little tiger monsters raised their heads and saw a person with a hairpin in his hair, a handsome appearance, wearing a fairy official robe embroidered with gold thread and jade and cloud patterns, a white jade belt around his waist, and a faint divine light appearing before them.

The two little tiger demons stood there with their mouths open in a daze. After a moment they reacted and quickly kowtowed and said, "Tiger come come (Tiger go go) to pay homage to Grandpa Mountain God."

Zhuang Yan landed slowly, looked at the two little tiger demons and asked, "Why don't you two stay in the cave? Instead, you come here to burn incense and pay respects, and call me to appear. What's the problem?"

Hu Lai said, "Five days ago, heavenly soldiers and generals came to the mountain to catch monsters. All the monsters in the mountain were so frightened that they cowered and trembled in fear. They were really majestic."

Hu Ququ said: "So my brother and I argued at home about who was the most powerful god in heaven."

Hu Lailai said: "We argued for five days and fought ten times, but there was no result."

Hu Ququ said, "So we would like to ask the mountain god to tell us who is the most powerful god in heaven." At this point, Hu Ququ added, "I said it is Nezha the Third Prince."

Hu Lailai was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Nonsense, it's obviously Erlang Zhenjun."

"Nezha the Third Prince!"

"Erlang Zhenjun!"

The two brothers started arguing again, and soon they hugged each other and started fighting in front of Zhuang Yan. Their four short hands clapped each other and the two little tigers howled loudly.

Zhuang Yan quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull the two brothers apart, saying, "I'll tell you who is the most powerful."

Hearing this, the two brothers immediately looked towards Zhuang Yan, their eyes full of nervousness and expectation.

Zhuang Yan cleared his throat, then raised his finger and pointed at himself and said, "Without a doubt, I am the most powerful deity in heaven."

The palace suddenly fell into an awkward silence, and the two little tiger monsters looked at Zhuang Yan in disbelief.

After an unknown amount of time, the two little tiger demons looked at each other, and then Tiger Lailai said to Tiger Ququ: "Brother, let's go home."

Hu Ququ nodded twice, and then the two brothers ignored Zhuang Yan and walked out of the mountain temple hand in hand.

After walking out of the mountain temple, Zhuang Yan heard the two little guys whispering:

"Grandpa Mountain God is so shameless that he actually claims to be the most powerful god in heaven."

"That's right. Erlang Zhenjun and Nezha the Third Prince are great gods in heaven. The Mountain God can't even compare to the heavenly generals who came five days ago. He's really good at bragging."

The two brothers reconciled and no longer quarreled. For them now, no matter what, it was enough that Erlang Zhenjun and Nezha the Third Prince were more powerful than the Mountain God!
Having resolved a monster family dispute, Zhuang Yan smiled faintly and was about to return to the temple to continue his cultivation.

But at this moment, a divine light descended from the sky and landed directly outside the mountain temple. Then a deep and clear voice came into the mountain temple:
"Where is the Lingtai Mountain God Zhuang Yan? I am Zhao Qingsi, the messenger from Xiniu Hezhou of the Divine Sky Jade Palace. I am here on Jade's orders to convey the imperial decree for rewarding skills. Come out quickly and listen to the decree."

Zhuang Yan's expression moved slightly, knowing that he had received the reward for helping Marshal Deng catch the monster. He immediately adjusted his immortal official robes and appearance, then walked out of the mountain temple.
