I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Why do you want to absorb the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches? Do you know how dangerous their power is?!"

Xiao Yan's face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was shaking. At this moment, she was no longer able to support her body. She could only collapse softly to the ground, shouting at Li Chen at the top of her lungs.

Xiao Yan had also heard of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, having heard about them from the Mother of Mount Li. Legend had it that these twelve ancestral witches possessed boundless magical powers spanning countless calamities, their powers vast enough to create the universe and even reshape the six realms of reincarnation.

One kalpa lasts for 5.7 billion years, and an infinite kalpa is composed of 480 million kalpas. Such a long time span and terrifying energy accumulation are simply unimaginable!

Moreover, each ancestor witch controls the power of the unique law corresponding to it. The tremendous power that can destroy the world is absolutely beyond the ability of ordinary people to withstand!

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Didn't you see? Not only can I use their power freely, but I can also control the underlying laws and forces at will!"

Li Chen's expression was as calm as water, and he looked nonchalant, as if what he was talking about was just a trivial matter.

He didn't notice the extreme shock on Xiao Yan's face at all, because even Xiao Yan herself had never expected that Li Chen's body could actually bear the powerful power contained in the spirits of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

After all, it is well known that even if an immortal attempts to forcibly contain the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the lightest consequence would be serious injuries, and in serious cases, he might even die on the spot!

The strength that Li Chen displayed was far beyond her imagination. In that brief confrontation just now, Li Chen had not even used his full strength.

Looking back, when Li Chen used the power of the five elements before, he simply separated her and many mountain spirits from the huge and mysterious body of the ancient fairy mountain spirit.

However, even so, its power was enough to shock people. If Li Chen had truly killed them, launching a merciless attack, then she and those mountain spirits would probably have long since lost even a trace of their bodies. Instead, they would have instantly turned into flying ash and dissipated into the boundless sky.

Then, Li Chen continued, "I am blessed by the Heavenly Dao and can absorb the essence of the Twelve Ancestral Witches and their original power, and integrate these powers for my own use!" As he spoke, Li Chen had a calm face, and he didn't seem to notice that Xiao Yan beside him was shocked by his words and was dumbfounded.

After all, the meaning behind these four simple words "Heaven's Blessing" is too great - it symbolizes that Li Chen is a favored and appointed son of heaven, shouldering the arduous mission of helping this world resist the great catastrophe, and is a well-deserved hero!

"If that's the case, then I'm willing to join your team and fight against the Twelve Ancestral Witches together with you to resolve the great catastrophe!"

Xiao Yan's tone and attitude became more respectful. After all, Li Chen was the chosen one. Since such a remarkable figure appeared before her, she must obey the will of heaven!

"Welcome to join us! With your joining, our team will definitely become stronger!"

Li Chen reached out to help Xiao Yan up, and while doing so, he injected some of the ancestor witch's power into her body to help her improve her cultivation.

"This power?! You actually injected the power of the Ancestral Witch into my body?!" Xiao Yan widened her beautiful eyes, her face full of disbelief, and screamed in a delicate voice.

You know, in the vast knowledge of magic that Lishan Laomu had preached to her, the power of these ancient witches was like a flood and a beast, an absolutely forbidden power! Even ordinary immortals were intimidated by it and found it difficult to control it!

However, at this moment, Li Chen was able to transfer the power of the ancestor witch into his body so easily. What was even more surprising was that not only did his body not feel any discomfort or strangeness, but he felt an indescribable comfort and pleasure.

This wonderful contrast once again shocked and awestruck Xiao Yan's heart, and she felt even more awe for the mysterious and unfathomable man in front of her - Li Chen.

After successfully capturing Xiao Yan, Li Chen could hardly conceal his ecstasy and excitement. He turned abruptly and scanned his surroundings with a sharp gaze. He saw that besides the densely packed, menacing hordes of shrimp soldiers and crab generals led by the Four Seas Dragon Kings, the rest were his own brave and fearless Demon-Slaying Army soldiers, as well as the many clever and adorable little monkeys of Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Li Chen looked at the huge team in front of him that was strong, well-trained and loyal. He was filled with passion and ambition.

He couldn't help but ponder in his heart: Now that he has such a powerful army and a strong backing, why can't he use his own strength and wisdom to create a world-shaking feat in this vast and fantastical world? Creating a unique and world-shaking sect or organization is just around the corner!

In this way, he no longer needed to join any single faction, such as Buddhism, Jiejiao, or the Heavenly Court. He could freely build his own vast organizational structure, using Huaguo Mountain as his core base. He would neither need to bend to any particular faction nor drift like a rootless duckweed.

"From today on, for the rest of our lives, we will establish an organization entirely our own on this Flower-Fruit Mountain! From now on, we no longer need to bow down and fawn upon any other organization! We must become the masters of our own destiny!"

Li Chen, with a solemn expression, loudly declared to all members of the Demon-Slaying Army, as well as Fairy Furong and the others. As soon as his words fell, a deafening cheer erupted, resounding through the sky!

Every face present showed an extremely enthusiastic smile of joy, and the cheers that rose one after another were higher and higher, as if they were going to tear the entire sky apart!

"Xiao Yan! Warmly welcome you to join us. From now on, Huaguo Mountain will be our shared home!"

Li Chen smiled and extended his right hand in a friendly and enthusiastic manner. Xiao Yan, seeing this, responded with the same warm and friendly attitude, shaking Li Chen's hand tightly.

At that moment, their eyes met, filled with trust and anticipation. The people around them applauded, and the atmosphere was incredibly warm and jubilant.
