I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Just as Li Chen was about to depart for the Golden Summit Cloud Sea to defeat Zhurong, the Ancestral Fire Witch, the system's voice echoed in his mind. This voice, tinged with concern and worry, said, "Host, I suggest you rest up in Qingyin Pavilion first. You've just experienced a fierce battle, and your mana and stamina have been significantly depleted. Furthermore, the Ancestral Fire Witch is quite powerful, so you'll need to carefully consider your strategy!"

The system's words flowed into Li Chen's thoughts like a stream of fresh water, plunging him into deep thought. The system was right. Aside from knowing that the Fire Ancestral Shaman could wield the power of the Five Elements of Fire, almost nothing else was known about him. The Ancestral Shamans in this world possessed powers and mana far exceeding those depicted in the game. Facing such a formidable foe, Li Chen knew he had to be fully prepared.

"Okay, then I'll follow your advice. Let's get some rest before we challenge the Fire Ancestral Witch." Li Chen nodded, agreeing with the system's opinion. He then turned and reentered the Qingyin Pavilion, finding a quiet corner to sit down. He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and entered a state of deep relaxation, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to restore his mana and physical strength.

The Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion followed Li Chen into the Qingyin Pavilion, determined to help him recover his physical and magical power as quickly as possible. She sat behind Li Chen, concentrating her magical power in her hands and continuously injecting it into Li Chen's body, helping him recover to peak strength!

"System, I want to check the current items in the backpack."

Li Chen was eager to know what precious treasures he had obtained during this period of time, so that he would have an idea of ​​how many cards he had.

"Okay, you currently have 130 Resurrection Pills, the magic weapon Modo Soul Banner, Annihilation Soul Axe, Moyuan Buddhist beads, the Jade Purification Bottle given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the magic weapon fragments Sila Conch Fragment 1 and 2." The system's voice came crisply and clearly, like a string of pleasant notes, intoxicating people.

Listening to the system's introduction, Li Chen felt a surge of satisfaction. He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the power surging through his body, as if merging with the entire world. He knew that this power came not only from his own practice, but also from the help and support provided by the system.

At this moment, he firmly believed that he had the strength to challenge the Fire Ancestral Witch! His eyes were firm and confident, as if he had already seen the dawn of victory. He believed that as long as he gave it his all, he would be able to defeat this powerful enemy and win more glory and achievement for himself.

"Master brother, the Fire Ancestor Witch is very powerful. Don't forget that when my soul was about to be scattered, I was resurrected and my magic power increased greatly just because he blew on me!" The voice of the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion suddenly sounded in his ears, with a hint of worry and fear.

Li Chen frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. He looked at the Fire Devouring Scorpion and asked in confusion, "Why? Is the Fire Ancestral Witch really that powerful?"

The Fire-Eating Scorpion nodded, fear flickering in her eyes. She said, "Yes, Master Brother. Zhurong, the Fire Ancestral Shaman, is an ancient god who wields the power of flame. His power is unfathomable. His divine power could transform Mount Emei into a vast sea of ​​fire. He is definitely not a foe to be defeated easily!"

Li Chen's heart trembled upon hearing this. He knew that facing such a formidable foe required thorough preparation. However, this didn't deter him; instead, it only fueled his fighting spirit. He believed that only through constant battles and challenges could he improve his strength and realize his dreams.

He gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes determined as he spoke: "I understand, but I will not be afraid. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, I will move forward bravely and never give up!"

"In that case, Master Brother, let me tell you something else. You must never let him release the Zhurong True Fire! Once he does, everything will be burned to ashes!"

The Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion spoke to Li Chen in a serious tone, with a hint of fear on his face, as if this Zhurong True Fire was something very scary.

"What is Zhurong True Fire?"

Li Chen asked with some doubt, as he was very unfamiliar with the term. However, before the Fire-Eating Scorpion could explain to Li Chen what Zhurong True Fire was, the system's voice suddenly rang out:

"When you were fighting against the Scarlet Flame King Kong, the Fire Ancestral Witch soul attached to the Scarlet Flame King Kong forced the Scarlet Flame King Kong to unleash the Zhurong True Fire. This caused the Scarlet Flame King Kong's body to be unable to withstand it, and the power of the Zhurong True Fire was thus backfired, which gave you the opportunity to defeat it! If the Scarlet Flame King Kong had not been backfired at that time, you would most likely have already..."

The system's words startled Li Chen. It turned out that this was the reason why he was able to defeat the Red Flame King Kong. At this time, the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion also continued:

"That's right, Master. Zhurong's True Fire is the innate True Fire of the Fire Ancestral Witch, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth. Even the powerful Red Flame Vajra cannot withstand the power of Zhurong's True Fire. Once he releases Zhurong's True Fire, not only will you be in danger, but everything around you will be reduced to ashes."

Hearing this, Li Chen finally understood the terrifying power of Zhurong True Fire. Even the Chiyan King Kong, possessing the body of a diamond, suffered a backlash from the fierce flames after wielding Zhurong True Fire. Its power was truly formidable. If Chiyan King Kong's body hadn't been unable to withstand the backlash of the Chiyan True Fire, Li Chen would have escaped unscathed!

Li Chen's expression instantly grew grave. He knew the terrifying power of Zhurong True Fire. If he accidentally triggered it, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, he gripped his weapon tightly, ready to deal with any eventuality. At the same time, he secretly thanked himself for having learned of the existence of Zhurong True Fire in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"The power of Zhurong's True Fire is truly too great. I have a profound understanding of this. When I was fighting the Red Flame Vajra, who was possessed by the Fire Ancestral Witch, Zhurong's True Fire was able to easily suppress the power of Xuanming True Water. You know, among the Five Elements, water restrains fire!"

Li Chen slowly stood up, a trace of worry welling up in his heart. Facing such a powerful Zhurong True Fire, even the principle of the Five Elements could not effectively restrain it. So how easy would it be to defeat the Fire Ancestral Witch?

At that moment, a pair of slender, soft jade hands and long, beautiful legs suddenly hugged Li Chen's waist from behind. Li Chen turned around in surprise and found that it was the Fire Scorpion. She stared into Li Chen's eyes affectionately, revealing a deep desire.
