I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Jiancheng! Stop it! Stop it!" Li Shimin finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward and tried to persuade Li Jiancheng to stop this crazy behavior. Although he killed Li Jiancheng, it was also a last resort to protect himself. After all, they were brothers, and he didn't want Li Jiancheng to never be able to reincarnate again!

"Li Shimin, stop being so hypocritical. You're just pretending to be like this to win people's hearts!" The prince's ghost looked at Li Shimin and laughed at him fiercely. You know, this kind of trick is just commonplace in their royal family! Family affection is the most useless thing in the royal family!

"Don't be so proud! I will drag you down with me to be buried!" The ghost of the prince had a hideous and twisted face, with madness flashing in his eyes, and he roared at Li Chen heartbreakingly.

Before he finished speaking, the prince's ghost suddenly burst into flames, emitting a terrifying heat that seemed to burn the entire world to ashes. His body, at an unimaginable speed, fiercely grabbed at Li Chen.

"Hmph!" Li Chen snorted coldly. He knew that it was the prince's ghost burning his soul, wanting to die with him. However, how could Li Chen let him succeed?

"Xuanming True Water!" Li Chen shouted softly, and the magic power in his body surged, instantly turning into a stream of icy Xuanming True Water, sweeping towards the prince's soul.

Xuanming True Water is one of the purest spiritual waters in the universe, possessing an extremely powerful force capable of extinguishing all flames. When the Xuanming True Water came into contact with the ghost fire on the prince's soul, a hissing sound was emitted, and the ghost fire was quickly extinguished.

But at the same time, the body of the prince's ghost was also severely damaged. The originally transparent body became even more illusory, as if it would disappear at any time.

"Ah..." The prince's ghost let out a shrill scream, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness. He never thought that the will-o'-the-wisp fire released by his burning soul could be extinguished so easily by Li Chen.

"Damn it!" The prince's ghost gnashed his teeth, filled with indignation. He had thought that with the power he gained from burning his soul, he could fight Li Chen head-on, but now it seemed that he was too naive.

"Is this all you're capable of?" Li Chen looked coldly at the deceased prince's spirit, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. His eyes were cold and emotionless, as if he were looking at an ant-like being.

"No! I won't give in! I won't lose!" the prince's ghost screamed hysterically, his voice filled with endless sorrow and despair. He could never have imagined that he would fail so miserably, without even a chance for revenge.

He recalled the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Back then, his defeat was already certain. Now history was repeating itself, and there was no turning back! He looked at Fairy Hibiscus and the others coming in from outside, and he realized that he was powerless to turn the tide!

"Jiancheng, take a good look at this Tang Dynasty. Isn't this the Tang Dynasty you dreamed of?"

Li Shimin said with tears in his eyes that although he felt sorry for his father and brothers, he also felt that he had done them justice to some extent! Under his rule, the Tang Empire prospered and attracted tributes from all nations.

Upon hearing this, the Prince's spirit was consumed by a thousand thoughts. The Tang Dynasty was indeed prosperous, and even people like Li Chen, possessing immense magical powers, had emerged! Could it be that he was truly no match for Li Shimin?

The prince's ghost sighed and said, "I understand. You are right. Although we have different methods, we are all for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin nodded, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. He knew that although the conflicts in the past could not be completely eliminated, at least at this moment, the understanding and tolerance between them were reflected.

Afterward, the prince's spirit turned and left, a mixture of satisfaction and resignation, returning to the netherworld to be reincarnated. Li Shimin silently gazed in the direction of his departure, a complex wave of emotions welling up within him. He knew this piece of history would be forever etched in his heart, and he would continue to work hard to make the Tang Dynasty even more prosperous.

Everything disappears like the smoke of the past, and only those who have truly experienced it will never forget it!

Finally, after standing there for a long time, Li Shimin wiped away the tears from his eyes and turned back into the wise monarch he once was. His face was no longer old, but full of energy. The dark energy on his forehead finally dissipated!

"Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission of killing the prince's ghost. The mission reward, the Modo Soul Banner, has been successfully upgraded to the second level!"

The system's prompt sounded, and Li Chen was filled with joy. This battle could truly be said to be the easiest mission ever! Even when he fought General Yin here, it wasn't so easy to win and get the reward from the system!

However, the system's announcement did not end.

"Because the host has exceeded the mission targets, Master Tang and his disciples are rewarded with a second mental skill!"

After the system finished speaking, five powerful spells entered Li Chen's brain. Li Chen felt that he had learned more new spells!

These spells were deeply engraved in his mind like a brand, allowing him to feel an unprecedented power. Each spell contained endless mysteries and potential, waiting for him to discover and use.

Li Chen felt a surge of excitement. He knew that these new mental skills would bring him even greater strength and combat capabilities. He couldn't wait to try out these spells and see how powerful they could be.

He closed his eyes, immersed in his inner world, and began to comprehend and familiarize himself with these newly acquired spells. Every detail and every change continued to emerge in his mind, giving him a deeper understanding of them.

He felt the flow of his inner Qi, integrating the mental method into his being. He tried to mobilize his Qi, following the newly learned mental method, and felt a powerful force surge through his body. This feeling filled him with confidence and anticipation.

When he opened his eyes again, they were gleaming with confidence. He was ready to integrate these new mental skills into his own battles, to show and improve.

Li Chen has mastered these mental skills and combined them with his original skills to create a unique fighting style. His strength has been significantly improved, and both his attack and defense have become more fierce and tenacious.

"Father!"

A graceful figure quickly walked up to Li Shimin and hugged him tightly. Li Chen looked closely and saw that it was Princess Fengyi, Li Zhaohuang. Li Zhaohuang's eyes were filled with tears! She was worried that something had happened to her father, so she ran all the way here!

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, held her tenderly. The two of them didn't say a word, creating a warm, harmonious, and peaceful atmosphere. Li Chen, upon seeing this, winked at everyone, signaling them to leave with him. Everyone understood and followed Li Chen out of the palace.
