I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

After a night of joyful magical training with the women, Li Chen rose early the next morning, greeted by the rising sun, and prepared to continue his in-depth study of magic. He slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, stood up, and stretched his muscles. Then, he looked up at the rolling mountains around him.

The sight of the surrounding mountains was truly unbearable. Once lush and vibrant, they were now devastated, littered with broken walls. Those once majestic peaks seemed to have endured apocalyptic catastrophe, with landslides and boulders tumbling down, scattering across the valleys.

Not only that, even the birds and animals in the mountains were not spared, and their corpses could be seen everywhere. The air was filled with a strong smell of death, which made people shudder.

The reason why such a tragic scene appeared was due to the earth-shattering and soul-stirring battle that Li Chen had previously waged with the Thunder Ancestor Witch.

The war swept in like a raging storm, destroying everything in its path. Almost nothing, whether it was a mountain or the creatures within it, escaped its devastation. Everything within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was swept up in this terrible disaster.

Countless innocent people were killed in the war; a large number of livestock and poultry also lost their lives in the war; the entire ecological environment suffered unprecedented damage and faced the crisis of destruction!

However, before rushing to the next battlefield, Li Chen knew that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders - he had to resurrect the innocent people who were brutally killed by the Thunder Ancestor Witch and his followers, and at the same time save the countless lives implicated in the war.

However, completing this arduous task was no easy feat. Reviving them and repairing the damage to the surrounding mountains would require a tremendous amount of mana. Therefore, Li Chen didn't dare slack off and began practicing diligently early in the morning, hoping that through his continuous efforts, he could quickly increase his mana so that he could better cope with the challenges ahead.

As Li Chen was concentrating on his cultivation, the other women gradually woke up from their slumber. After opening their eyes, they all stood up and walked towards Li Chen with light steps.

You must know that during this time of training with Li Chen, each of the women underwent a complete transformation. Among them, the three women, Hibiscus Fairy, Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion, and Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, achieved astonishing breakthroughs—their bond skills had all reached maximum level! As for the Hundred Immortal Butterfly, its bond skill had also been raised to level four; even the Thousand-Year-Old Bat Demon's bond skill had successfully advanced to level two.

It's worth mentioning that, as the bond between the Nine-Tailed Fox and Li Chen has reached its peak, Li Chen has also gained an extremely powerful and enviable ability—he can now utilize the unique talent of the Sky Fox clan, the "rebirth" technique. Speaking of this Sky Fox clan's innate magical power, it's truly incredible: they can achieve the miracle of rebirth with their nine tails!

However, the only drawback is that even with such a magical skill, the number of times Li Chen can perform "rebirth" is limited. Currently, he can only be resurrected three times through this skill.

Not only that, but each use would be followed by a lengthy cooldown period—a full three days! Even worse, during this period, Li Chen's combat effectiveness would plummet, dropping to around 70% of his original strength.

At the same time, the bond skill bestowed upon Li Chen by the mysterious thousand-year-old bat demon was also not to be underestimated. This skill granted Li Chen a marvelous ability—he could transform his body into a terrifying vampire bat at will, directly sucking the blood of his enemies to replenish his own energy; he could also summon swarms of vampire bats, having these little creatures suck blood on his behalf and continuously transform it into a surging source of power within him.

"You all woke up!"

Li Chen keenly sensed several soft and familiar auras emanating from behind him. He slowly turned around and saw that it was Fairy Furong and the others. Seeing them, Li Chen's face was filled with a gentle yet confident smile.

A clear and pleasant voice rang out: "Yes! Master! We are here!" It turned out to be the beautiful Hibiscus Fairy, her charming smile as charming as a blooming spring flower. Seeing this, Ao Xue and Ao Shuang beside them couldn't help but smile as well, as if a spring breeze gently brushed their hearts.

Li Chen looked at the beautiful women before him, his eyes flashing with determination. He held his head high and said in a righteous voice, "Since everyone is here, please sit down together! Today, we must work together to cast a spell and revive the innocent people who tragically died in this terrible disaster!"

As Li Chen finished speaking, the women nodded in understanding, gliding gracefully behind him and taking their seats. Li Chen took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and a resurrection bead, emitting a mysterious glow, appeared in his palms. He then began to mobilize all his magical power, continuously channeling it into the resurrection bead.

At the same time, the women sitting behind Li Chen also activated their own skills without hesitation, transferring all of their powerful magic power into Li Chen's body without reservation. For a moment, Li Chen was surrounded by a layer of dazzling spiritual light, and the momentum emanating from him became more and more majestic and turbulent.

Finally, when all the magic power was concentrated in the Soul Resurrection Orb in Li Chen's hand, the orb suddenly burst out with a dazzling light, instantly illuminating the entire world. The light spread out in all directions at an astonishing speed, quickly covering an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles.

Wherever this light illuminated, it was as if time had flown backwards. The land, once dead and lifeless due to the wars and disasters unleashed by the arrival of the Thunder Witch, suddenly began to flourish again at a visible speed. The cracked soil gradually moistened, tender green grass sprouted from the ground, and trees put out new buds and bloomed with delicate and tempting flowers.

The animal carcasses lying all over the ground were even more jaw-dropping. They seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force and miraculously crawled up from the ground slowly.

These animals that have just come back to life have confused eyes and look around them in bewilderment at the world that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

They seemed to have not fully adapted to the fact that they had been resurrected, and some even looked at their surroundings in horror, trying to figure out what had happened.

At the same time, the Resurrection Pearl radiated a dazzling light. This light was so bright that it resembled the blazing sun in the sky, blazing and powerful. It generously radiated its energy to the surroundings, and wherever it touched, whether it was damaged houses or collapsed city walls, they began to rapidly repair themselves.

The pale skin of those who had been drained of blood gradually turned red, and their shriveled muscles slowly filled up, and they grew healthy and elastic flesh and blood again.

Even the once barren mountains underwent a dramatic transformation under the miraculous light. Withered vegetation suddenly became lush and green, its emerald branches swaying in the breeze as if in joy. The mountain streams began to flow again, crystal clear, the rippling water shimmering with sparkling light.

The damaged Seven Star Cave has once again returned to its former beauty. The seven stars shining like gems in the cave are still dotted around, and there are countless tiny stars surrounding them, shining and reflecting each other, which is so beautiful. The whole scene is like a dream, which makes people intoxicated.

"Ah! Finally done!"

Li Chen's voice trembled with excitement. He lay exhausted on the ground, gazing at the scene brimming with life and hope, a relieved smile on his face. The women who had shared this long journey with him followed suit, some laughing, some crying, releasing their long-suppressed emotions.

They had waited so long for this moment, so long they had almost given up all hope. Yet, now that it was truly unfolding before their eyes, the joy they felt was indescribable. For those who had once perished in despair and agony, such a scene was something they would never have dared to imagine, even in their dreams.

At night, Li Chen and his companions stood on the top of the mountain, watching the faint smoke rising from the village. The villagers had recovered and resumed their daily lives. This should have been their normal routine, but the release of the Twelve Ancestral Witches had shattered this peaceful atmosphere.

Li Chen looked at this extremely beautiful and peaceful scene, and secretly swore in his heart that he would protect the peace of this world and then return home safely!
