Many things happened within the Gold Peach clan during the period of unrest, QiuDong had given birth to twin Gold Peach fairy infants, MiYue and YueMi, and Lim HeQiu had LiXue. All these babies were at a delicate age before they could reach adulthood; YeChun and ReXi had grown into adult Gold Peach fairies, teaching and protecting their smaller cousins.

All of the women were taught martial arts to defend themselves, and there was always had to have family men around them to protect them. They were also given Magical Emergency Bell, was there in any scenario that a foreign being appeared near them, all they had to do was to ring it slightly, and there would be smoke to freeze the foreigner and a loud ring for the men to come to her immediately.

YeChun and Rexi had been given the choice to choose the selected Celestials and to meet them before deciding on their intended husband. The two fairy maidens were supposed to be married off to Heaven tribe earlier but their elders had delayed for many decades. The elders with their parents had carefully chosen their candidates for their children to marry, not even considering any royal celestials, as they had their tendency to be fickle and have a harem of concubine consorts. They only handpicked immortals with family law with marrying for love and one partner forever.

Their final choices were the Black Tortoise clan and Phoenix clan, who had courted Gold Peach Clan to acquire a Gold Peach fairy wife. The Tortoise clan was a strong and resolute clan, with XuanWu, the young heir to the clan leader, was widely known to be sincere, strong in martial arts and magic. As for the Phoenix clan, their clansmen were known for the ferocity and loyalty. The young king YangFeng, was respected and righteous within his troop. Both clans were ancient and had pure lineages, but most importantly, both were known not to have concubines tarnishing their family lineage and treated their females with respect.

As of the elders of the Black Tortoise and Phoenix clans, they were present during the reveal of HuiYi, and were excited with the prospective to be able to matchmake their descendants with the mysterious clan's maidens. They did not do it to elevate their Heavenly position and moreover, the Gold Peach clan was still foreign to the Celestials. They did it mainly because they wanted beautiful grandchildren.

The Dark Emperor of Underworld and Demon Overlord had caught on that there were Gold Peach fairy maidens, matchmade to Celestials and was enraged. He sent his general to attack the barrier of the sacred garden and to abduct the maidens. This general, Ji DuLi, the very name could strike fear to any underworld creatures' heart, and his own troop. The general was widely known to be merciless when the army overstepped and broke army martial rules.
Ji DuLi came from an ancient demon clan lineage, even said to have mixed royal blood, with his demonic beauty.

Although born privilege, DuLi climbed up the army ranks with his own strengths and bravery, earning his army's respect. He had a strong morality, shown compassion to not to fight with defeated armies. When the Dark Emperor of Underworld and Demon Overlord gave the orders to attack to kidnap maidens, he was very reluctant to receive the unrighteousness of these orders but he no choice but to follow orders.

The Supreme General's very presence gave a boost of morale to the army fighting with the celestials. DuLi had never appeared near the sacred mountain, sending his other assistant generals to fight the battles. The celestials were not prepared for a full-fledged battle, as they had been fighting over the years, and did not expect the demons to send the Supreme general. They sent a winged celestial to report the situation to Heavens and asked for back up support.
DuLi, not bothering to fight the Celestials, merely swinging his trusty mighty gigantic ax around to clear his way.

DuLi studied the barrier, took up a nearby soldier 's sword and threw it to the barrier, only had it pinged bank. Then, he tried to forcefully hit the barrier with his own weapon to no avail. He paused with all the fighting around him and started to create a tornado around him. With a sudden move, wielded his ax, collected all his strength, muscles rippling, then jumped up into the air and brought down the ax, which grew 20x the size, and when it smashed the barrier, the barrier that was impenetrable, shivered.

The juggernaut that thundered through the barrier, did not break the barrier, but all the wise ones knew, time was just a factor and it would be down. The clansmen inside the barrier, on the mountains, blanched. They sped up their escape plans ahead, they dispersed to find the young females. The firstborn fairies knelt in front of the Tree of Life, begged their mother to forgive them as they have to move her from their origins. The second-generation mothers had received protocol drills so they knew what they had to do, quickly, they gathered the young fairy maidens.

Qiu MarKe, ZhiYe, and HuoRi, took YeChun and Rexi, to the Heavens first realm, and dropped them at the fiancée's family manors, before returning back to their sacred mountain. Both Phoenix and the Tortoise Clan were surprised with the sudden visit and departure of their inlaws, not even detecting their presence and intrusion. The maidens' fiancés were thrilled with the first meeting their prospective brides and a surge of protectiveness arose within the fiancés when they knew of the potential abduction. After the drop-off, the three clansmen made their presence known and request an audience with the Jade Emperor.

After paying their respects and pleasantries, Qiu MarKe asked for the location of the assigned space for their sacred tree and the permission for entry with the sacred tree and family members into Heavens. Once the clansmen were given the permit and were instructed to be shown the area of relocation, the three men efficiently speculated the area and approved of the mountain given. They had requested a quiet and secluded location, to which the Jade Emperor acquiesced.

On the 8th level realm, there was a mountain at the far most Western side.  There was a natural spring on the mountain and small river streaming down to the land, the skies above the mountain were filled with colors and the climate was found to be appropriate. The Jade Emperor was very thorough and understanding from the reports received from the studies of their sacred mountain. The Gold Peach Clan thanked the Jade Emperor trusted courtier, whom had led them to the location of this West Mountain, to pass the message of appreciation of the emperor's generosity and apologized for the hasty retreat back to prepare relocation.
