I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

In the mysterious and beautiful Water Curtain Cave, after a long night of rest and recuperation, everyone seemed to be reborn with new energy and vitality, and everyone has adjusted to their peak and perfect state.

Especially the two female heroes, Li Zhaohuang and Xiao Yan, who were immersed in hard training the whole night, determined to break through their own limits and push their own cultivation to a higher level.

If we talk about the person who is most proficient in absorbing the power of the Ancestral Witch, then Xiao Yan is undoubtedly the one who ranks first besides Li Chen. This is because the extremely agile mountain spirits she summons are originally derived from the magical transformation of the five elements between heaven and earth.

Now that Xiao Yan has successfully absorbed the powerful strength of the Ancestral Witch, her own level of strength has naturally leaped to a deeper and higher level.

Meanwhile, Li Chen embarked on a sleepless night of multi-person cultivation with the Hibiscus Fairy, the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion, the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Hundred Fairy Butterflies, and the Jade Rabbit Fairy. In this fantastical process, various magical techniques blended and collided with each other, bursting out with dazzling light.

As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the Water Curtain Cave, everyone slowly opened their eyes, feeling a surge of power within them, unstoppable like a river bursting its banks. Overnight, their combat prowess had skyrocketed again, a breathtaking sight, like a phoenix rising from the ashes!

"Everyone, listen up! Assemble!" Li Chen shouted suddenly in the Water Curtain Cave, his voice resonating like a resounding bell. Everyone jumped to their feet and formed into a neat, orderly formation at lightning speed.

Suddenly, the sound of clear and powerful footsteps echoed in the Water Curtain Cave, rising and falling continuously. The sound was like rolling thunder, shaking everyone's heart and demonstrating the unparalleled momentum and majesty of this team!

"Let's go! To Peach Blossom Valley! Defeat the Rain Witch and eliminate the demons!"

Li Chen stood at the front of the team, his figure as straight as a pine tree, his resolute and courageous face gleaming in the sunlight. He raised his right hand high and shouted, his voice as loud as a huge bell, echoing through the valley.

Seeing this, everyone followed Li Chen's example, raised their right hands in unison, and shouted in unison: "Defeat the Rain Witch and eradicate the demons!" For a moment, the shouts were deafening and reached the sky.

Accompanied by passionate slogans, everyone took firm and powerful steps and embarked on the long journey to Peach Blossom Valley. The road was long and arduous, but the fire of justice burned in everyone's heart and they showed no fear.

As he walked along, Li Chen was still immersed in the memory of the fierce battle with the Rain Ancestral Witch. That thrilling duel was still vivid in his mind, especially the poisonous rain cast by the Rain Ancestral Witch, the horror of which was beyond imagination.

Generally speaking, a master who is good at attacking like Li Chen, with his rich combat experience and keen intuition, can often accurately judge whether the opponent's move will cause harm to himself by the attack strength of the move.

However, facing the poisonous rain of the Rain Witch, even the extremely powerful Li Chen couldn't help but feel fearful and didn't dare to use his body to resist it.

Because the poisonous rain contained extremely strong corrosiveness, even if one had an indestructible body, it would be difficult to resist the erosion of this ferocious poisonous rain. Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help but frown, secretly thinking about a countermeasure.

Looking at Li Chen who was thinking, Ao Xue and Ao Shuang came to Li Chen's side. The sisters gently patted Li Chen's shoulders from behind, waking Li Chen from his thoughts.

"Li Chen, what's wrong with you? You seemed distracted the whole way here. What's going on?"

Ao Xue asked doubtfully. She and Ao Shuang had just been observing Li Chen from behind and noticed that he had been distracted the entire time, as if he was lost in thought. They wondered if Li Chen's mentality had changed because he hadn't won the battle against the Rain Witch that day.

You should know that mentality can sometimes determine the victory or defeat and outcome of a battle. People with a bad mentality will lose the battle at a faster rate when facing a defeat in a battle, while people with a good mentality will fight to the end even when facing a defeat in order to win!

"Nothing, I'm just thinking about whether I should involve all of you in this battle." Li Chen frowned slightly, his eyes revealing deep worry. He slowly scanned the huge team in front of him.

Tens of thousands of figures were densely packed together, like a surging sea of ​​people. Among them were nearly 5000 heavily armored, blade-wielding demon-slayers, standing tall and proud; over 8000 soldiers and generals from the Four Seas Dragon Palace displayed their unique abilities, some brandishing giant steel forks, others brandishing razor-sharp swords.

This time, Li Chen shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading so many soldiers into battle, yet he's filled with conflict and confusion. He can't help but question his decision: Is it the right thing to do? After all, the enemy they're about to face—the Rain Witch—is the ancient, renowned demon god Xuanming!

During his previous battle with him, Li Chen had already experienced his immense strength. This demon god could not only manipulate the rain at will, but he could even control the extremely lethal elemental power of ice.

However, defeating the Twelve Ancestral Witches was Li Chen's destiny. But now, he had implicated so many lives. Could he truly feel at ease? If an accident occurred during this fierce battle, resulting in heavy casualties, how would he cope?

Although he still had the Resurrection Pearl, a treasure that could bring back to life those whose bodies and souls were intact, who could guarantee that the terrifying poisonous rain wouldn't wipe out their bodies along with their souls? Thinking of this, Li Chen's mood grew heavier.

"What should or shouldn't I do?!"

Ao Xue's eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes wide open, and she cried out in a coquettish tone, "In the beginning, we never thought of getting involved in such a terrible war. Who knew that the abominable six-eared macaque would insist on snatching my father's natal dragon ball!

Humph, but since this is the case, we must win this battle no matter what! Don't worry, we in the Dragon Palace always keep our word.

We promised to fight alongside you, and we absolutely won't go back on our word! Furthermore, we will fight to the bitter end with you, and we won't retreat even for a moment!

Ao Shuang stood aside, nodding gently, her lips curled up slightly in a resolute and beautiful smile. She spoke softly, "Yes, sister, you're right. This battle was something we wanted to avoid in the first place. Our Dragon Palace has always been a peaceful and tranquil place, never intending to provoke any faction. But now that things have come to this, that Six-Eared Macaque has cornered us. We have no choice but to resist."

Li Chen looked at the two beautiful and resolute dragon ladies before him, feeling moved and admired. He nodded solemnly, his eyes gleaming with confidence as he said, "Alright! With your words, I believe we can defeat the enemy!"

The group continued on their journey. After a long journey, they finally arrived at the legendary Peach Blossom Valley. The scenery was still as picturesque as ever, with peach blossoms blooming all over the mountains, as dazzling as clouds.

However, what was chilling and terrifying was that the entire valley was shrouded in a thick layer of haze, which was filled with a murderous aura so strong that it was enough to suffocate people! This murderous aura was like a substance, weighing heavily on every inch of space, making the surrounding air seem sticky.

Everyone felt it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe, as if even one more breath would be consumed by the terrifying murderous aura. They couldn't help but feel a strong premonition rising in their hearts, as if countless ferocious demons would madly surge out from all directions at any moment, unleashing a brutal, bloody and cruel fight...

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly took a step forward, his angry eyes fixed on the Peach Blossom Valley in front of him, his chest heaving violently, and he let out a deafening roar: "Ancestral Witch of the Rain! Get out here!"

The roar exploded in the air like thunder, echoing in the valley for a long time.

Soon, a thick fog, as if summoned by some kind of force, began to slowly move toward Li Chen and his group. As they drew closer, they realized the fog held a terrifying fighting spirit and murderous intent. The fog swirled and surged, like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth wide open, ready to devour them whole.
