I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"How is the master?"

"Master brother, wouldn't you already have?"

As soon as the girl went out, she saw the Hibiscus Fairy and the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion waiting at the door. As soon as the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion and the Hibiscus Fairy saw her come out, they immediately surrounded her and anxiously asked about Li Chen's situation.

"That man's body is very strong. If an ordinary person were to be hit by such a fierce anger, they would most likely die instantly. But the fact that he can hold on until now is truly a miracle! I have helped him get rid of the anger now, but he needs to rest for a while. Don't let him get angry!"

The girl said this with a serious look. After listening to the girl's instructions, Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion nodded. Then one of them continued to guard Li Chen, while the other took the girl to find a house to rest!

Li Chen stared out the window, his heart pounding. Outside, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down. He began to ponder his own struggles against the Fire Witch, unleashing so many powerful abilities. But why? Why hadn't any of those powerful abilities been able to harm the Fire Witch?

The rain outside the window seemed to be the waves in his heart. Every drop of rain was like the questions in his mind. It hit the window and splashed water, just like the waves in his heart, surging and unable to calm down.

He was very puzzled. Among the five elements, water controls fire, but in mythology, the water god Gonggong lost to the fire god Zhurong. Why was that?

Even Xuanming True Water was no match for the Fire Ancestral Witch's Zhurong True Fire. He had used everything he could, but still couldn't hurt the Fire Ancestral Witch even a hair. Could it be that the Fire Ancestral Witch was invincible? The more Li Chen thought about it, the more worried he became. He remembered that he had a system, so he decided to ask the system.

"System, answer me! Is the Zhurong True Fire of the Fire Ancestral Witch truly invincible in this world?"

Li Chen asked anxiously. He really doubted that the Fire Ancestral Witch was invincible. He was so overwhelmed by the powerful force of Zhurong's True Fire that he began to doubt his life. He began to worry about how he would deal with the Fire Ancestral Witch next time!

"Host, you can use the Mysterious Water to defeat the Fire Ancestral Witch!"

After hearing the system's explanation, Li Chen's expression instantly became serious.

"I've already used Xuanming True Water, and it has no effect."

Li Chen's voice was low and firm. He recalled the scene in his mind: the six ice swords formed by the Xuanming True Water melted the moment they touched the body of the Fire Ancestral Witch! This scene shocked Li Chen too much! He absolutely could not use this trick against the Fire Ancestral Witch again!

"Host, calm down and listen to me."

The system's voice grew serious. "You must know that Xuanming True Water is the natal water of Gonggong, the ancestor of water. It is the manifestation of the Great Dao of Water within the Five Elements, after it blends with the turbid energy of the Earthly Evil. It abandons the gentleness of water, the power that nurtures life, and pursues only the ultimate offensive and lethal power, possessing the manifestation of freezing the world. It abandons the gentleness of water, the power that nurtures life, and pursues only the ultimate offensive and lethal power, possessing the infinite power to freeze three thousand worlds and endless time and space. It is the most aggressive of the innate divine waters."

"Get to the point! I already know everything you said!"

Li Chen was getting really impatient after listening to this. He just wanted to know how to defeat the Fire Ancestral Witch!

"The Xuanming True Water, or the Water God Gonggong, that he passed on to you now has discarded the softness of water and the power to nurture life, and only pursues the ultimate attack power and lethality!"

The system explained to Li Chen.

"Isn't this normal? If moves don't aim for offensive power and lethality, then what are they aiming for? Are they meant to be danced for the enemy to see?"

Li Chen asked doubtfully, if a move cannot effectively kill the opponent, then isn't it a useless move?

"But Xuanming True Water is not like that! Host, you must understand that the power of water does not lie in its destructive power, but in its flexibility and ability to adapt to the situation, using softness to overcome hardness! As long as we can regain the soft power of Xuanming True Water, we can not only defeat the Ancestral Witch of Fire, but also extinguish the fire on Mount Emei!"

After hearing the system's explanation, Li Chen fell into deep thought. How easy was it to recover the ultimate softness of Xuanming True Water? It was like finding a needle in a haystack, or a drop of water in the desert. But the key was how to retrieve it? Losing something is easy, but finding it again is often the hardest! Especially since it was an intangible object, something lost by the Water God Gonggong, it was up to Li Chen to retrieve it.

Li Chen complained to the system with a serious expression, "How on earth am I going to get this thing back? I feel like a headless fly. Besides, this thing can't be seen or touched, so I have no idea where to start."

The system's tone was serious, like a stern teacher. It said, "Host, as the heir of the Xuanming True Water of Gonggong, the God of Water, you must believe in yourself. You will definitely find the answer!"

After saying this last sentence, the system no longer answered Li Chen's questions. No matter how Li Chen asked, the system was like a stubborn child and refused to say anything.

Li Chen complained in his heart: "How on earth am I going to get it back?"

He didn't understand what the system said at all, but there was nothing he could do. He could only do as the system said and "look for it"!

However, the most important thing at the moment was to take good care of his body first, and then go "search". Therefore, in recent times, Li Chen was like a patient who needed care, lying on the bed to recuperate and recover his physical strength and magic power.

Speaking of feeding him medicine, every day, two gentle, virtuous, and beautiful women, the Hibiscus Fairy and the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion, came to feed him the medicine. Li Chen naturally accepted the blessing of having the medicine fed by these two beauties, but the medicine was extremely bitter!

Every day, villagers came to visit Li Chen and gave him and his companions many daily necessities. As for the young woman, she had also visited Li Chen several times, and each time she was amazed at his amazing recovery speed.

Half a month later, Li Chen's body finally recovered, like a seed emerging from the darkness, reborn. His recovery brought hope and light to Mount Emei!
