I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

The moment Li Chen knocked the Wood Ancestral Witch to the ground, a strange energy wave permeated the entire Jiuhua Mountain. It was as if every poisonous flower and every poisonous grass in the mountain range sensed the end of the fierce battle. As if receiving some kind of command, they withered and collapsed, lifeless.

As the massive body of the Wood Ancestral Witch gradually dissipated, a shimmering emerald green spirit quietly floated in its place. This crystal clear spirit, like a dazzling gem, attracted everyone's attention.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the task of 'killing the Wood Ancestral Witch'. I hereby grant you a small Wood Ancestral Witch spirit (which can be used by Fairy Hibiscus), as well as 30 Resurrection Pills and 30 Level 4 Strengthening Stones as rewards!" The system's voice sounded in Li Chen's mind, making him overjoyed.

This sudden surge of joy filled Li Chen's heart, bringing an unconcealable smile to his face. The haze that had long shrouded Mount Jiuhua finally dissipated, and the sun once again shone upon the land. He knew that this step he had taken was of great significance, not only defeating a powerful enemy but also paving the way for future adventures.

Li Chen's next goal now lies in rescuing the trapped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. By communicating with this venerable Bodhisattva, perhaps he can gain a deeper understanding of the truth of this world and the secrets hidden within it. With full anticipation, Li Chen strides forward with determination, continuing on his new journey.

But now I have to carefully check the spoils I have just obtained so that I can better plan my next step.

Li Chen gently opened the system backpack, and accompanied by a dazzling special effect, a virtual space full of mystery appeared in front of his eyes.

Within this space, a dazzling array of items were neatly arranged, each emitting a unique radiance. Li Chen searched carefully until his eyes were suddenly drawn to a crystal-clear pill. This pill had a round shape, and a faint aura shone on its surface, clearly no ordinary item.

After some recollection, Li Chen suddenly realized that this was actually an extremely precious pet evolution inner elixir! He couldn't help but pat his head and blamed himself, "How could I forget such an important thing? I should have given this inner elixir to Fairy Hibiscus earlier after defeating the Ancestral Witch of Gold!"

But now that things have come to this, there's no need to regret too much. An idea struck Li Chen, and he thought, "Why not give these two treasures to Fairy Hibiscus?" So, he took out the pet evolution inner elixir and another equally rare small Wood Ancestral Witch's spirit from his system backpack.

Then, Li Chen carefully placed Fairy Hibiscus back into the system backpack and handed her the two treasures that would greatly increase her strength. Looking at the gifts in her hands, Fairy Hibiscus's eyes flashed with surprise and gratitude. She softly thanked Li Chen, "Thank you, Master!"

Then, Fairy Hibiscus happily walked out of the system backpack, flew lightly to Li Chen, and kissed him gently on the lips. Then, she quickly returned to the system backpack and prepared to begin absorbing the power of the two secret treasures.

As Fairy Hibiscus entered her cultivation state, a rich aura permeated the system backpack. It was believed that with the blessing of these two secret treasures, Fairy Hibiscus would undergo a complete transformation. Li Chen watched all this quietly, his heart filled with anticipation and satisfaction.

Li Chen also has more important things to do, which is to absorb the essence of the Wood Ancestral Witch in front of him and see what kind of skills the Wood Ancestral Witch will give him.

Was it the "Wrath of the Sacred Tree" that nearly killed him in the previous battle, or the "Poison Spreading Across Thousands of Miles" that the Ancestral Witch of Wood used in his dying counterattack, or the "Turning Feathers into Arrows" that the Ancestral Witch of Wood used?

While thinking, Li Chen began to absorb the power of the ancestor witch's spirit. At the beginning, it was very difficult to absorb the spirit, which brought Li Chen great pain. As time went on, Li Chen slowly got used to the pain. The power of the ancestor witch's spirit began to strengthen Li Chen's internal organs and bones all over his body, and slowly the absorption of the ancestor witch's spirit was completed!

"I didn't expect it to be this move! Let me try out the power of this move! Wood - poison spreads thousands of miles!"

Li Chen was ecstatic. He had never imagined that he would actually comprehend the Wood Ancestral Witch's most powerful group attack skill—Poison Spreading Across Thousand Miles! He couldn't wait to experience its terrifying power. Suddenly, his body erupted in a dazzling emerald green light, as dazzling as the brightest star in the night sky.

Then, an astonishing scene unfolded. In the open space beside Li Chen, countless bizarrely shaped, brilliantly colored flowers burst forth from the ground like mushrooms after a rain. They grew at an alarming rate, each one emitting an eerie and mysterious aura. In the blink of an eye, these blossoms formed a dense sea of ​​flowers, tightly surrounding Li Chen.

As the flower blossomed, a thick, poisonous mist steadily emanated from its stamens. This mist, seemingly possessing life, rapidly spread in all directions, annihilating every blade of grass in its path. The scene before him was identical to that of the Wood Ancestral Shaman performing this technique. Clearly, both were using their own immense divine power to awaken the poisonous flowers and plants buried deep underground, launching this devastating attack.

However, the moment Li Chen unleashed this move with all his might, a serious question surfaced in his mind. He was deeply aware that this move could never be used lightly in the presence of his companions or ordinary people. The reason was simple: once activated, these poisonous flowers and plants would attack indiscriminately, killing both teammates and innocent people.

The only way to avoid such accidental injuries is to practice diligently and continuously improve one's control over this technique. Only in this way can one ensure accurate strikes against the enemy without harming one's comrades or friends. Thinking of this, Li Chen secretly resolved to redouble his efforts in the future to master this unique skill as soon as possible.

The power of this move was astonishing! It seemed to possess endless potential, changing with the infusion of Li Chen's own mana. As he poured more mana into it, the attack range of this move would expand like ripples, and the damage it brought would increase exponentially.

Fortunately, Li Chen was alone when he attempted this move. Otherwise, if he had unleashed his full power, the entire Jiuhua Mountain would have been enveloped in a dense, poisonous fog unleashed by poisonous flowers and plants. The scene would have been horrific, devastating. Perhaps only those at the pinnacle of power could escape the calamity. Even so, this once peaceful and tranquil mountain range would have suffered a devastating blow, leaving it once again unrecognizable.
