I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Immortal Huo Ling, Liu Yan, General Bi Zhen, General Bi Huo, General Tian Wu, Great Sage Huang Feng, Jiang Han and others came back from all over. After they gathered, Zhuang Yan instructed Bao Jie and Xiu Huang, "If a Taoist friend who calls himself 'Subhuti' comes, you should welcome him to the Lingtai Treasure Realm and serve him well until I come back."

Upon hearing this, Baojie and Xiuhuang immediately bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Zhuang Yan nodded slightly, but then he thought again and added, "This person is my close friend. All good things should be used to entertain him. Don't treat him with contempt."

The second boy's expression became serious when he heard this, and he bowed again and said, "I will obey the master's order."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan said to Bixia Yuanjun: "Yuanjun, I have made all the arrangements here, let's set off now."

Bixia Yuanjun nodded and said, "Okay, please."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Everyone come stand behind me."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling Zhenxian and others came and stood behind Zhuang Yan without saying a word, while Bixia Yuanjun stood aside and watched.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yan immediately smiled at Bixia Yuanjun and said, "Please come to my side, Yuanjun."

Bixia Yuanjun looked at Zhuang Yan in surprise, but didn't say much. She nodded slightly and stood beside Zhuang Yan.

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan activated the "teleportation", and instantly a divine light covered Bixia Yuanjun, Huoling Zhenxian and everyone else. Then everyone felt a flash before their eyes, like a blink of an eye, and then the surrounding scenery had changed drastically.

The first to react was Bixia Yuanjun. She looked around with wide eyes and exclaimed at the palaces and pavilions in the towering fairy mountain: "Is this Mount Tai?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and smiled, "Yes, we're here."

Bixia Yuanjun was immediately shocked and murmured, "It only took the blink of an eye to get from Qingping Mountain to Taishan Mountain. What a fast speed."

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Let's go. We will go to see His Majesty the Great Emperor Dongyue."

Bixia Yuanjun reacted quickly and hurriedly led the way.

They flew all the way into the Taishan Divine Palace. Apart from the fairy attendants in the palace, they did not see a single soldier along the way.

Upon seeing this scene, Liu Yan sighed and said, "I heard that the Tianqi Divine Mansion's soldiers were completely wiped out in the battle of Kunxianze. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it."

Bixia Yuanjun felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, but she didn't say anything. She just led the way silently.

Jiang Han also said at this time: "I didn't see a single soldier or general along the way. The rumors are true."

Zhuang Yan did not stop them from discussing this matter. This matter will not only spread throughout the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou, but even the entire Yamafu world. Can you still stop people from discussing it?
Besides, things have come to this point, and there is no point in preventing people from speaking out. Instead, we should lay it out openly for everyone to judge.

Soon everyone arrived outside the Zixia Palace. They looked up and saw that there were no generals or soldiers standing guard outside the Zixia Palace.

Huo Ling Zhenxian and others couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they saw this scene. The Emperor Dong Yue really became a commander without troops, which was really pitiful.

Outside the Purple Cloud Palace, Bixia Yuanjun stepped aside and waved her hand, saying, "Lingtai Zhenjun, His Majesty said that you don't need to inform him of your arrival and can directly enter the palace to see him."

Zhuang Yan nodded, turned to Fire Spirit Immortal and the others and said, "Wait here for the summons."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling Zhenxian and the others bowed solemnly and said, "We will obey Zhenjun's order."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan and Bixia Yuanjun walked into Zixia Palace one after another. At this time, there were only the serving fairies in the palace, and there was no soldier or general to be seen.

Zhuang Yan looked up and saw the Great Emperor Dongyue and Empress Shuming sitting on the throne at the top of the hall.

Zhuang Yan walked to the center of the hall, bowed his head and said, "Zhuang Yan pays respects to His Majesty the Great Emperor Dongyue and Empress Dongyue Shuming."

"Lord Lingtai, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat and have some tea." Emperor Dongyue said with a smile on his face, extending his hand to support Zhuang Yan, then pointing to the sandalwood chair on the right side of the hall.

Zhuang Yan thanked him and then walked to the sandalwood chair and sat down. At this time, a fragrant breeze blew over, and two fairies came forward, each holding a jade plate, and poured tea and served fruit to Zhuang Yan.

After Bixia Yuanjun paid her respects, she walked to the left side of the hall and sat down.

After the fairy attendant left, Zhuang Yan asked the Emperor Dong Yue, "May I ask your Majesty Dong Yue, what instructions do you have for me?"

Dongyue Emperor heard this and laughed, "You are not worthy of my orders. Although you, Lingtai Zhenjun, are only a fourth-rank god, you are the 'Great God of Fortune in the World' who is directly under the Jade Emperor. You guard the world on behalf of the gods, and your authority is much greater than mine."

"I dare not." Zhuang Yan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is the Emperor of Heaven. How dare I compare myself with Your Majesty?"

Emperor Dongyue waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this today, Master Lingtai, I want to apologize to you today."

Zhuang Yan was very surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Dongyue sighed and said, "I didn't listen to your good advice that day and insisted on sending troops, which led to the defeat in Kunxianze and the loss of all the power of my Dongyue Tianqi Divine Mansion. It was all my fault."

Zhuang Yan heard this and said, "Your Majesty should not apologize to me. I am not under the jurisdiction of the Tianqi Divine Palace. I only came to give advice that day as a colleague of the Heavenly Court. Whether the battle of Kunxianze is won or lost, it has nothing to do with me."

Immediately, Zhuang Yan added: "Your Majesty should really apologize to those divine generals, divine soldiers, and those genuine divine officials who died in the battle."

"You are right." Emperor Dongyue nodded and said, "I have distributed the merits I have accumulated in this Yuanhui to everyone, so that they can devote themselves to the path of supreme virtue in their next reincarnation."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan immediately praised: "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Dongyue nodded slightly, and then said to Zhuang Yan: "However, after the defeat in Kunxianze, the power of Tianqi Divine Mansion was almost completely lost, and I have no one left to use. I wanted to transfer Marshal Wen Qiong back from the Thunder Department, but after I sent a letter, Thunder Ancestor actually refused to allow it. This really leaves me helpless."

As soon as the Great Emperor Dongyue finished speaking, Empress Shuming said, "That's why I invited you, Master Lingtai, to come and discuss this matter with me."

Zhuang Yan suddenly realized something and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to expand the power of Tianqi Divine Palace?"

"That's right." Emperor Dongyue nodded and said, "After the battle of Kunxianze, the original power of Tianqi Divine Mansion was lost, and a large part of the control over the Dongsheng Divine Continent was lost. Therefore, I want to expand the power of Tianqi Divine Mansion to maintain control over Dongsheng Divine Continent."

Bixia Yuanjun on the other side continued, "But we can't just recruit them casually. Let alone whether those independent cultivators and demon kings have the heart to uphold justice and do good, their strength alone is not enough to take on the responsibility."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "To put it simply, we still need to maintain the Tianqi Divine Palace's suppression of the power of all parties?"

Emperor Dongyue said, "Except for Xuanjiao." At this point he shook his head, "Xuanjiao can no longer be suppressed. After the battle of Kunxianze, Xuanjiao's luck has soared and it has become prosperous."

"We can still suppress it." Zhuang Yan said with a smile: "As long as it is a sheep, there is no need to worry about not being able to drive it into the pen."

Hearing Zhuang Yan's strange analogy, Emperor Dongyue was very surprised, while Empress Shuming smiled softly and said, "So Xuanjiao is just like a lamb in the mind of Master Lingtai?"

Zhuang Yan smiled calmly, then bowed to the Emperor Dongyue and said, "Your Majesty wants to expand the power of Tianqi Divine Palace, so you want me to come here?"

"I want you to help me think of a way to borrow some people from somewhere to temporarily serve as the facade of my Dongyue Divine Mansion." said the Emperor Dongyue.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is easy. I have a group of people under my command who can be transferred to Dongyue Divine Palace. It depends on whether Your Majesty dares to use them."

When Emperor Dongyue heard this, he was immediately surprised and asked, "Oh? Are you willing to transfer your people to Dongyue Divine Palace?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Why not? But I have a condition."

Emperor Dongyue nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It is normal if there are conditions. Let's hear it." Zhuang Yan said: "Your Majesty, even if these people under my command are seconded to Dongyue Divine Palace, they still have to obey my orders, which means that they are under dual jurisdiction."

Bixia Yuanjun's face changed and she said, "So, if they come to Dongyue Divine Mansion, they will not only have to obey the orders of Dongyue Divine Mansion, but also the orders of Dasi Ming Mansion?"

"Yes." Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "Specifically, they only listen to the orders of Emperor Dongyue and me. This is dual control."

"How can this be possible?" Bixia Yuanjun was about to refute, but the Emperor Dongyue above quickly said, "Yes."

"Uh." Bixia Yuanjun looked up at Emperor Dongyue in astonishment, only to see Emperor Dongyue said, "Dual rule is fine, but I also have a condition."

Zhuang Yan asked, "Your Majesty, please explain clearly."

Emperor Dongyue said: "After they are seconded here, they must obey my orders unconditionally unless there is a conflict between our orders."

"Of course." Zhuang Yan said, "If there is a conflict between our orders, I and Your Majesty will discuss and resolve it. Normally, we will not interfere with each other."

Emperor Dongyue nodded happily and said, "Okay, then it's decided. When will they come?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "They are already waiting outside the palace, just waiting for your Majesty to summon them."

When the Emperor and his wife of Dongyue heard this, their faces suddenly turned serious and they stared at Zhuang Yan. "It seems that Master Lingtai already knew what I wanted to discuss with you?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I have some guesses in my mind."

Emperor Dongyue said with a smile: "You are an open-minded person. Don't worry. Since I dare to ask for a loan, I will not treat your people unfairly. I will not be stingy in giving them the official positions they deserve."

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Emperor Dongyue waved his hand, and then said to Bixia Yuanjun: "Quickly summon Lingtai Zhenjun's people into the palace."

Bixia Yuanjun stood up and took the order. After a moment, she led Huo Ling Zhenxian and others into the hall.

Led by the Fire Spirit True Immortal, the crowd came to the center of the hall and bowed to the Great Emperor Dongyue, saying, "We, the gods, pay our respects to His Majesty the Great Emperor Dongyue Tianqi Rensheng, and wish His Majesty a long life and happiness."

Emperor Dongyue extended his hand and said, "Please stand up, all the immortals."

Everyone stood up to express their gratitude, then bowed solemnly in the hall.

At this time, Emperor Dongyue looked at Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan understood and immediately stood up and walked in front of everyone and said, "Everyone knows about the battle of Kunxianze. Today, His Majesty Dongyue asked me to transfer you to Dongyue to serve, and I have agreed."

Upon hearing this, the one who reacted the most was the Immortal Fire Spirit, who said on the spot: "True Lord, I want to follow you and be your subordinate. I will not come to Dongyue to serve."

As soon as True Immortal Fire Spirit spoke, Great Sage Yellow Wind and Jiang Han followed suit, expressing their willingness to stay with Zhuang Yan no matter what.

Only the three generals Liu Yan, Bi Huo, Bi Zhen and Tian Wu remained silent, because they were originally immortal officials in the Heavenly Court, not subordinates trained and recruited by Zhuang Yan himself, so it was naturally difficult for them to speak.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Don't reject it yet. His Majesty Dong Yue and I have already agreed that after you come to Dong Yue to take up your posts, you will be under dual jurisdiction. In other words, you will have to obey all the wishes and orders of His Majesty Dong Yue in the future, and you must also obey my orders on the other side. You will be under the jurisdiction of both His Majesty Dong Yue and me at the same time."

After hearing this, the expressions of Huo Ling Zhenxian and others relaxed, but they were still a little reluctant to come to Dongyue.

Zhuang Yan saw this and did not explain anything further. He just said, "It has been decided. You can just obey my orders."

Seeing Zhuang Yan's attitude, Huo Ling Zhenxian and the others could only bow and accept the order, saying, "We will follow Zhenjun's order."

Then everyone bowed upwards and said, "Your Highness, the officials pay their respects to His Majesty the Great Emperor Dongyue."

"Okay." Emperor Dongyue nodded with a smile, then looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal and asked, "Are you the Fire Spirit Immortal?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am the Fire Spirit Immortal."

Emperor Dongyue nodded and said, "I have seen you before, and have heard of you from my colleagues. I can see that you are indeed extraordinary and handsome after seeing you today."

Fire Spirit Immortal bowed and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Emperor Dongyue nodded and said, "From today on, you will be the 'Shangqing of the Divine Palace' of Tianqi Divine Palace, and will take charge of all affairs of Dongyue Tianqi Divine Palace on my behalf."

The Fire Spirit Immortal immediately bowed and said, "I obey your command."

Afterwards, the Great Emperor Dongyue looked at Liu Yan, the Great Saint Huangfeng and the others and said, "As for the rest of the people, you have full authority to appoint them to any position they are assigned, and you can submit a memorial to me afterwards."

The Fire Spirit Immortal bowed again and said, "I obey your command."

Emperor Dongyue said with a smile: "I have handed over the power of Dongyue Tianqi Divine Palace to you, please don't let me down."

When the Fire Spirit Immortal heard this, he immediately bowed and said, "The Fire Spirit will definitely live up to the high expectations of your majesty and the Spiritual Platform Immortal Lord."

Emperor Dongyue nodded with a smile, and then asked everyone, "There are many sacred peaks on Mount Tai, enough for you to open up a Taoist temple and cave."

At this point, Emperor Dongyue asked, "Where do you want to set up the Taoist temple?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal said without hesitation: "Qingping Mountain."

Emperor Dongyue and everyone: "."

Even Zhuang Yan was somewhat helpless and said, "Qingping Mountain is a million miles away from here. Isn't it too far?"

Fire Spirit Immortal said: "Your Majesty, I have heard that there is a formation overseas that can build a 'teleportation formation' in two places, which can teleport back and forth in a moment, which is very convenient."

Emperor Dongyue said: "This is not surprising. The 'Boundary Gate' that connects the Heavenly Palace to the other worlds also has the function of teleportation."

The Fire Spirit Immortal said, "I want to build a teleportation array between Qingping Mountain and Taishan Mountain. Firstly, it will facilitate communication between the two divine palaces, and secondly, it will be very convenient for us to travel between the two sides to coordinate laws."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dongyue understood immediately and praised: "You are indeed a talent that all the emperors in the heavenly court admire. You have already thought of this when you just took office. Well, well, this position of 'Shangqing of the Divine Palace' was really given to the right person."

At this point, Emperor Dongyue was very happy and said directly to the Fire Spirit Immortal: "You can handle these matters by yourself. If you are unsure, come to me again. From now on, the affairs of the Divine Mansion will be handed over to you."

Upon hearing this, Fire Spirit Immortal bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."

At this time, Zhuang Yan glanced at Bixia Yuanjun next to him, and immediately asked the Emperor Dongyue: "Your Majesty, let Huo Ling be the Minister of the Divine Palace, then what position will fellow Daoist Bixia Yuanjun have?"

Upon hearing this, Bixia Yuanjun smiled faintly, then stood up and bowed to Zhuang Yan, saying: "Lingtai Zhenjun, since the battle in Xianze, I feel that the affairs of the Shinto officialdom are not suitable for me, so I have resigned from all my positions. In the future, I will only live in seclusion in Mount Tai to practice Taoism and no longer participate in worldly affairs."

When Zhuang Yan heard this, he didn't say much, but just smiled and nodded.

Next, the Emperor Dongyue held a banquet on Mount Tai. After a day of banquet, Zhuang Yan bid farewell to the Emperor Dongyue and returned directly to Qingping Mountain.

As for the Fire Spirit Immortal and others, they officially stayed in the Taishan Divine Palace and began to take up their new duties to revive the atmosphere of the Taishan Divine Palace. (End of this chapter)
