I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

After Li Chen successfully killed the Yellow Eyebrow King, everyone began to rest and recuperate in the mysterious and profound Seven Star Cave. A few days passed quickly, and the atmosphere in the cave seemed particularly peaceful and tranquil.

The Six Saints of Meishan and the five hundred grass-headed gods were now sitting cross-legged quietly, each practicing qigong and regulating their breathing, trying to recover the huge amount of magic power they had lost in the previous battle.

You know, this fierce battle really drained their energy. If those hateful monsters hadn't been too complacent and drunk, and if Li Chen hadn't skillfully used the sleepyhead technique to make them fall into a deep sleep and have a good rest, it would have been very difficult for the Six Saints of Meishan and the Five Hundred Grass-Headed Gods to win this battle so easily.

Meanwhile, the women presented a slightly different picture. The Hibiscus Fairy was graceful, her face rosy; the Fire-Eating Scorpion was charming yet possessed a touch of sass; the Nine-Tailed Fox was charming and alluring; the Hundred Fairy Butterflies were graceful and elegant, like dancing butterflies; and the Dragon Clan sisters, Ao Xue and Ao Shuang, were even more beautiful, ethereal and celestial; finally, there was Li Chen's disciple, Li Zhaohuang, with her elegant demeanor and graceful manner.

Each of these women possessed unique skills and their strength should not be underestimated. More importantly, each of them contained within them a portion of the powerful Ancestral Witch power generously gifted by Li Chen. Because of this, while the human seed bag could weaken the magic power of others, its effect was minimal against these women, who were protected by the power of the Ancestral Witch.

The thousand-year-old bat demon always followed Li Chen closely. Li Chen seemed to have an invisible and powerful aura, like a solid wall, isolating all the unfavorable factors around him.

At this moment, a mysterious and powerful aura quietly enveloped everything around them. Because of this, even the Golden Cymbal, with its astonishing power, and its negative effects that could cause a decrease in mana, was unable to have much substantial impact on the Millennium Bat Demon.

During the day, the sun shone brightly, and everyone focused their energy, throwing themselves into the arduous practice. As night fell, all was silent, but Li Chen did not rest, engaging in fierce nighttime battles with the women, excluding Li Zhaohuang. Thus, they rested and recuperated in the Seven Star Cave, and time passed quickly, nearly ten days having passed in the blink of an eye.

With everything ready, Li Chen and his team were about to embark on a campaign against Qiangliang, the Ancestral Shaman of Thunder, when suddenly, a figure appeared before him like lightning. Upon closer inspection, he saw the majestic Erlang Shen! He stood tall and majestic, followed closely by the Six Saints of Meishan and five hundred well-trained, uniformly coordinated Grass-Headed Gods.

Seeing this, Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, and asked quickly: "Master Erlang, what are you doing?" At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind involuntarily - could it be that Master Erlang was planning to go with him to conquer the extremely terrifying Thunder Ancestor Wizard Qiang Liang?

If this is true, then it would be a great thing! After all, with the help of a powerful helper like Erlang Shen, the road to this crusade will surely be much smoother.

However, Erlang Shen's next words surprised Li Chen. He said in a deep voice, "Brother Li Chen, to be honest, my brothers suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. Therefore, I'm afraid they are no longer able to participate in the upcoming fierce battle. I have led them here today to bid you farewell!"

"So that's how it is! If that's the case, then, Master Erlang, please return to Guanjiangkou and rest up. I hope we'll be able to meet again in the future!"

Li Chen's face was filled with a kind smile as he slowly spoke to the majestic Erlang Shen in front of him. In fact, he knew very well that since Erlang Shen had already decided to leave, even if he tried his best to keep him, it would be futile.

As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. If you force it to stay, not only will you fail to achieve your goal, but you may also create enmity with Erlang Shen.

"Farewell!"

All that was heard was the simultaneous shouting of the Six Saints of Meishan and the five hundred Grass Heads. Then, a dazzling golden light burst out from their bodies, instantly transforming into streams of light that, like shooting stars, sped towards the Guanjiang River mouth.

"Brother Li Chen, we part today and I don't know when we'll meet again, but as long as fate dictates, I'll definitely fight alongside you again one day to fight against those abominable demons together! Until then, you must be extra careful and protect your own safety. I look forward to meeting you next time!"

Erlang Shen solemnly bowed to Li Chen and said goodbye. Li Chen naturally did not dare to be rude, and quickly led the women around him to bow in return, watching Erlang Shen gradually walk away.

Erlang Shen smiled and nodded slightly, then, with his feet swiftly moving, he rode a cloud of auspiciousness and quickly pursued his brothers. Before long, his nimble figure, like lightning, caught up with the Six Saints of Meishan and the five hundred grass-headed gods who had gone ahead.

Above the towering and misty clouds, Erlang Shen was leading the Six Saints of Meishan and five hundred grass-headed gods on the clouds towards Guanjiangkou.

Suddenly, Guo Shen's face showed a worried look, and he asked softly to Erlang Shen beside him: "Grandpa Erlang, do you really believe that the man named Li Chen can truly become the master of Yuanxie?

You know, the magic weapon Yuanxie is very famous. Every user who has gone astray has brought great danger to our three realms. I can clearly feel the power contained in the user this time, Li Chen. It is several times stronger than you!

Erlang Shen narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the distant sky, and slowly spoke, "As for him, I choose to believe. Because from the first moment I saw him, I sensed a unique aura from him. That unique light of hope seemed to be able to penetrate the heavy fog and illuminate the road ahead.

Furthermore, that unparalleled strength, as if capable of tearing the very fabric of the universe apart, was terrifying. Even more humiliating was his rock-hard, unwavering confidence. This confidence wasn't blind arrogance, but rather a clear understanding and command of his own strength. In comparison, these qualities were lacking and difficult for me to achieve.

Therefore, I firmly believe that Li Chen must have enough ability to control the magic weapon called Yuanxie! "As soon as the voice fell, Erlang Shen's resolute face couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration.

At this moment, Zhi Jian, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but ask, "But Master Zhenjun, if that guy unfortunately goes astray, how are we going to deal with it?"

You must know that if Li Chen went possessed, the consequences would be disastrous. With his terrifying power at that time, even Erlang Shen would have struggled to subdue him. If he were allowed to wreak havoc, it would undoubtedly bring unprecedented disaster to the entire Three Realms.

Facing Zhijian's concerns, Erlang Shen responded without hesitation, "If he really goes astray due to failing to use his magic weapon, even if it means burning everything I have, including my life and soul, I will stop him without hesitation!"

His words were resounding, without the slightest hesitation or retreat. Erlang Shen knew full well that he shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the peace of the Three Realms. Allowing Li Chen to fall into the devil's way would not only be irresponsible to the people, but also a betrayal of his own beliefs.

It's conceivable that if the situation developed to that critical point, Erlang Shen would unhesitatingly lead his six Meishan saints and five hundred grass-headed gods to appear before Li Chen. They would unite as one to fight against the demonized Li Chen, vowing to nip this disaster in the bud.

This action not only reflects Erlang Shen's high vigilance against Li Chen, a potential threat, but also his persistence in his mission and his resolute determination to atone for his past mistakes!
