Role in Games[]

Dynasty Warriors[]

The Supernatural Immortal chapter in the game revolves around Xi Wangmu, an ancient entity that nurtures all living things in nature. Shi Huangdi, a destructive force, attacks Xi Wangmu, separating her good and evil consciousnesses. Xi Wangmu represents virtuous qualities, while Huang Quan reigns over death. Xi Wangmu resurrects King Mu to stop her evil counterpart, but he stalls due to her collapse. Huang Quan, a half-conscious entity, joins forces with Shi Huangdi to recognize her strength. Shi Huangdi manipulates her, causing massive destruction and threatening Shu's borders.

Liu Bei and Sun Ce cooperate to drive Huang Quan off while they seek Cao Cao's aid. Xi Wangmu recovers her strength and informs Liu Bei and company of their adversary. Despite King Mu's initial fear of slaying Huang Quan, she agrees to sacrifice her evil self to restore peace. With Xi Wangmu's support, they convince King Mu to defect, and Huang Quan disappears. Xi Wangmu thanks the departed king for granting her wish. Unable to fully assist the fight against Shi Huangdi, she returns to her hermitage.

Fengshen Yanyi[]

The Xi Wangmu who later appears in Saiyuki: Journey West is first known under her Fengshen Yanyi counterpart, Princess Longji (竜吉公主). She is a princess of a renowned family in the mystic realm -later revealed as the divine emperor. On her fifth birthday, she made a promise with Yang Jian to someday become his bride. Taking the childhood oath a little too seriously, she follows him wherever he goes as his self-proclaimed fiancée. Yang Jian, on the other hand, is baffled by her loyalty as he is still training to perfect his craft. Her higher status also alienates them from ever truly being accepted as a married couple. Thus, he continuously tries to tell her to return to the mystic realm at any given opportunity. Noticing his sudden absence one day, she visits the mortal realm in order to find him.

Shortly upon Taigong Wang's arrival in West Qi, she descends from the heavens and asks the traveler about Yang Jian's whereabouts. She quickly spots the mortified Yang Jian hiding behind his leader and happily greets him, hoping to bring him back to the mystic realm with her. As Yang Jian asks her to return to the mystic realm, Princess Longji instead becomes determined to accompany Taigong Wang's party to somehow become useful to her "betrothed". Using her melodramatic tears and perked enthusiasm to appeal to Taigong Wang, the puzzled leader accepts her invitation into his ranks. Later, when the rest of the party is magically intoxicated by the Four Lu Xue brothers, she, Deng Chanyu, and their leader remain the only ones untouched by the water's ill effects. While Deng Chanyu and Taigong Wang fight the brothers, Princess Longji hurries to heal the rest of the party. She returns during the middle of the battle to assist with two other party members.

After the final battle, she once again tries to look for Yang Jian to accompany him in his travels. When Taigong Wang reports that he hasn't seen the hermit, she leaves to continue searching for him. Unknown to her, Yang Jian had disguised himself as a local maid to avoid her detection and leaves on a different path.

Saiyuki: Journey West[]

Sei Obo appears as the first guardian for Sanzo in Saiyuki: Journey West. After Sanzo helps Gojo return to Chin Lodge with the water to cure the sleeping villagers, the monk asks the village elder if any meteors has landed nearby. Confirming Sanzo's suspicions that such an occurrence happened sixteen years before Sanzo's arrival, the elder leads the monk to the spot in question, now a shrine. Once Sanzo arrives to the spot, Sei Obo awakens and materializes herself before them. Calm and gentle, she explains that Guardians can't remain in the mortal realm for long. She therefore sleeps within Sanzo's divine staff. When the monk asks how she knew of Sanzo's arrival, she calmly says that Lady Kannon would one day elaborate for him/her.

When she is summoned, she gradually heals party members and can perform a two-square ranged sword attack with the Nature element near Sanzo. Her attack can also randomly charm foes to help Sanzo's party.

Fighting Style[]

When controlled by the AI, Xi Wangmu's attacks will be imbued with the water element by default. However, her alter ego Huang Quan fights with yin elemental moves. Like most magic-oriented characters, her stronger attacks also incorporate the use of enchanted seals to repel nearby opponents or target them from afar. Huang Quan utilizes the same moves of her good counterpart but with the addition of rendering herself invulnerable to damage for a short period of time.

For her Fengshen Yanyi appearance, Princess Longji is a frail fighter yet a capable healer. She is slower than most characters, but she comes with the power to levitate across terrain for four spaces. Her default paopei is also useful, as it heals every ally on the field regardless of their location on the map.

Fengshen Yanyi (novel)[]

Princess Longji, a celestial being with twin dragon swords, a protective vase, and a mist dew net, was introduced in chapter 50. She was the daughter of the exiled Jade Emperor and the Golden Mother of the Jade Pond, Xi Wang Mu. She lived at the Green Phoenix Palace until Yang Jian visited to investigate Earth Traveler Sun, a foe of West Qi. She confirmed Yang Jian's suspicions and gave him advice on subduing the Zhou army's opponent, leading to the defeat of Earth Traveler Sun. Later, she visited West Qi to help nurture crops and saved the city from Luo Xuan and Liu Huan's invasion. She was welcomed into Jiang Ziya's army and granted her own residence. Grand Completion called upon her services to counter Prince Yin Jiao's divine items, particularly the elusive White Cloud Bound Flag. She explained that the flag was a sign of status and dignity kept by her mother, and only the highest ranked divine beings could get near it.

After dealing with Yin Jiao, West Qi was attacked by the reputed Shang general, Hong Jin. Despite being defeated by Deng Chanyu, Hong Jin retreated and challenged the city again. Princess Longji, with Jiang Ziya's permission, fought against him, but was defeated. Princess Longji summoned her aquatic mount to counter, and they fought, with Longji winning the battle. Jiang Ziya ordered his execution, but a taoist man named Heavenly Matchmaker revealed that Hong Jin and Princess Longji were divinely married. Despite being shocked by the sudden proposal, she agreed, as she was infatuated by Hong Jin's charm and ambitions. After suffering humility from his capture, Hong Jin agreed to join West Qi's ranks but promised to cut off Jiang Ziya's head for his own ambitions. The marriage was held on an auspicious date in West Qi. Princess Longji and her husband were killed by Mother Golden Spirit, and she was named the Goddess of the Red Phoenix Star by Jiang Ziya.

Journey to the West[]

When Sun Wukong was named the pompous yet hollow title "Great Sage Ruling Heaven", he resided within Heaven and happily wandered the halls of luxury without a care in the world. Angered by the monkey's lack of respect, the Jade Emperor granted the lackadaisical monkey the authority to watch over Queen Mother of the West's peach orchard. Sun Wukong happily attended to his "post" and became fascinated with the idea of eating the luscious, divine fruit. He therefore stayed true to his assigned duty as a pretense to devour the ripened bounty for himself.

One day, when the promised time for picking the peaches was prime, Queen Mother decided to arrange a celebration banquet and sent her seven fairy maids to pick the fruit. They were surprised when they discovered the Great Sage was in charge and asked for his whereabouts. Unknown to the maids and his servants, the Great Sage had morphed himself two inches of height and was napping on a leaf of a tree after his private feast. The maids waited respectfully but had to perform their duty. As they were picking peaches, a maid shook the branch of the sleeping monkey and were surprised when he shifted into his normal height before them. The maid explained their lady's plans, and the Great Sage was infuriated that he was not invited. While he sped off to perform his wily chain of thefts, the maidens picked a poor amount of leftover peaches and brought them before Queen Mother. Learning what happened, she reported the disturbance to the Jade Emperor.

She stood by her lord's side for the majority of his future rulings and held a celebration banquet once peace in Heaven was restored. Her face powder and magical mushrooms were also mentioned later in the story.
