I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"What is this card..." Li Chen stared at the card in front of him, which was emitting a mysterious emerald green light, with suspicion, his eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. He couldn't help but reach out and slowly grasp the card.

The moment Li Chen's fingers touched the card, something amazing happened—the emerald green light suddenly disappeared without a trace! As if it had been swallowed up by an invisible force.

Li Chen peered closely, beholding a vivid figure depicted on the card. He wielded a magic staff for slaying demons, a golden hoop bound his tangled blue hair, and a strange, mysterious mark etched between his brows. A large string of Buddhist beads dangled from his neck, but the most striking feature was the skull perched in the center, directly above his throat. However, this strange skull didn't diminish the unparalleled aura of power and righteousness emanating from him; instead, it enhanced his dignity and solemnity. Despite his austere monk's robes, his otherworldly aura couldn't be concealed.

At this moment, Li Chen finally saw clearly who was drawn on the card: it turned out that this majestic and imposing person was the famous Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat - Sha Wujing!

That's right, he's the Sha Monk from Dream Journey to the West IV! He's a formidable character in the game, both at range and short range! Whether using a shovel or a bow, he's incredibly powerful! He can practically kill people from afar. Unexpectedly, the loot dropped by the Daoming Demon Monk is quite impressive! But Li Chen couldn't be too happy right now, as there was something more important: burying the Daoming Demon Monk, the guardian Min, and the nine controlled monks.

Although the battle was won, it came at a very painful price, namely the tragic deaths of the demon monk Daoming, the protector Min Lao, and the nine monks from Jiuhua Mountain.

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help but burst into tears. If he hadn't wasted so much time in Chang'an City, if he could have arrived a few days earlier, would he have been able to support Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in time, and these tragedies would not have happened?

Li Chen dug a pit and pushed their bodies into the pit and buried them. Then he put soil on their bodies. After burying them, Li Chen wiped away his tears. Li Chen put Sha Seng's card into his backpack and continued to move forward.

All Li Chen can do now is to eliminate the Wood Ancestral Witch as soon as possible to avenge all the innocent people who died, and then break the Wood Ancestral Witch's seal on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, so as to save all the living beings in Jiuhua Mountain.

"System, please analyze for me in detail the true strength of the Ancestral Witch of Wood." Li Chen asked the system with great anticipation, eager to obtain accurate information about the Ancestral Witch of Wood's strength from this mysterious and powerful being.

He knew that in this fantastical world, every Ancestral Witch possessed unique and unfathomable powers. As one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Wood Ancestral Witch mastered the power of the Five Elements, and must possess astonishing abilities and traits.

Li Chen was eager to learn more about the Wood Ancestral Witch: What were the amazing aspects of its abilities? Did it possess any special magical weapons or spiritual artifacts? What was its unique fighting style?

Through communicating with the system, Li Chen hopes to uncover the secrets behind the power of the Wood Ancestral Witch, and make adequate preparations for the upcoming battle to avoid being at a disadvantage.

"The ancestor of wood, Ju Mang, is as green as bamboo, with a bird's body and a human face, wings on his back, and two dragons under his feet. He is the ancestor of wood in the East. He is one of the twelve ancestor witches, the god of wood, the god of spring, and the god of the East in ancient times, and is in charge of the germination and growth of trees." The system introduced the appearance and status of the ancestor of wood to Li Chen in detail.

"What about his abilities and skills? Those are what matter most!"

Li Chen frowned and continued to ask the system with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone: "What's the point of just introducing his appearance and status? What I want is the method to defeat him!"

The system sighed and continued, "Regarding the unfathomable power and miraculous skills of the Ancestral Wood Witch, I can only tell you the tip of the iceberg: He not only possesses an astonishing and incredible magical power—the ability to instantly transform his originally plump and gorgeous wings into indestructible, deadly poisonous arrows that can be shot at opponents; he also wields a world-shaking power, which is also the original divine power controlled by him as the Ancestral Wood Witch—he can freely control all flowers, plants and trees in the world! This kind of earth-shattering power is truly hard to imagine."

"Then can't you tell me all his abilities? That way the chances of winning will be higher!"

Li Chen said angrily, and the system sighed and said, "The legendary Twelve Ancestral Witches are gods from ancient times! They were transformed from the pure blood of Pangu the Great, and their bodies contain extremely rich Pangu divine power, which can perfectly conceal their true strength. Even I can't fully see through them. I can only tell you some of the abilities I know and understand so far. If you want to further explore their full capabilities, I'm afraid only through actual combat can you find out!"

Hearing this, Li Chen thought about it. When he was fighting the Golden Ancestral Witch before, the system did not introduce the Golden Ancestral Witch's abilities and skills to him. It seemed that this was because the Heavenly Dao of the dream world could not fully see the true strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

In battle, the abilities of the Golden Ancestor are vastly different from those in the game, so different that they're practically two completely different creatures! The Golden Ancestor in the game is essentially a free set of equipment for newbies. However, if the Golden Ancestor here were placed in other games, his abilities and mechanics would be perfectly adequate for a final boss fight!

The Ancestral Witch of Gold here not only resurrects and strengthens the strange magic of General Yin, Xiong Shanjun, and Special Hermit, but also manipulates the even more terrifying Extreme Gold Thunder to launch terrifying large-scale attacks. I was almost killed by him!

"In short, I still have to remind the host that when facing the Twelve Ancestral Witches, remember to act cautiously and don't be impulsive!" Listening to the system's prompt, Li Chen calmed down his emotions and prepared to fight the Ancestral Witch of Wood.

"By the way, the host has one more thing to tell you. When fighting the Wood Ancestral Witch, never release Fairy Hibiscus! Fairy Hibiscus has the wood attribute, and she can easily be controlled by the Wood Ancestral Witch's mind, becoming his puppet and attacking you!"

The system once again reminded Li Chen that when fighting against such a powerful enemy as the Wood Ancestral Witch, one more enemy or one less friend would affect the direction and changes of the entire battle!
