I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"It's unexpected that you young people from this foreign world are so well-mannered! Hmm, quite good, you are truly talents worth cultivating!"

Tongtian Patriarch sincerely admired Li Chen. Although he was the instigator of the earth-shattering catastrophe, he had always been caring and protective of his disciples who had willingly submitted to him. The reason he had unleashed this massive catastrophe was simply to reshape the world and allow his deceased disciples to be reborn.

"Although I am a foreigner, I have heard of your resounding reputation many times! The Jiejiao Sect you founded is renowned across the world, praised by the world as the foremost sect in the prehistoric world, 'teaching without distinction, attracting all immortals to pay homage!'"

Hearing Li Chen's words, a trace of hard-to-conceal loneliness and desolation emerged on Tongtian Sect Master's once dignified face. At this moment, he seemed no longer the awe-inspiring, transcendent sage, but a lonely old man filled with longing, silently reminiscing about the past.

Li Chen's words were indeed true. Back during the Conferred Gods War, the Jie Sect was at its peak, boasting the reputation of "ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage." However, in the eyes of the other two sects, the Jie Sect's disciples were nothing more than furry, horned, and scaly creatures, humble beings born from damp environments and hatched from eggs. Even Yuanshi Tianzun, a congenital sage, scorned these so-called "furry and horned creatures, those born from moisture and eggs," believing them unworthy of embarking on the path to immortality!

Because of this, during the thrilling Conferred Gods War, the Jie Sect suffered the unfortunate schemes of the other two sects and betrayal from within, resulting in heavy casualties. Not only were numerous precious artifacts lost, but countless disciples were killed and wounded, leaving the sect on the brink of extinction. Tongtian Sect Master himself was tragically gifted the Fallen Saint Elixir by his mentor, the Patriarch Hongjun. From now on, anyone harboring heretical thoughts will be poisoned by the elixir and die!

Fortunately, now Tongtian Patriarch has taken the lead in breaking free from the constraints of the Fallen Saint Pill and regaining his powerful magic. This time, he is determined to use the mysterious power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches to reshape the once glorious and magnificent prehistoric world and allow his beloved disciples to be reborn. In this way, he can revive the former prestige of Jiejiao and recreate the magnificent scene of its former glory, when thousands of immortals paid homage to it!

He successfully reclaimed his lost magical weapon, but to his surprise, Tang Sanzang and his four disciples dared to interfere with his grand plan. Thus, a thrilling battle erupted within the Biyou Palace. After a desperate struggle, Tongtian Patriarch finally defeated and slew Tang Sanzang and his disciples!

He thought that his mission was accomplished and he could safely use the power of the Ancestral Witch to give his disciples a new life. However, things are unpredictable. It seems that the Heaven does not want to see him achieve his goal so smoothly. It once again sends an uninvited guest from a foreign land - Li Chen, to stop him from moving forward.

Regarding this Li Chen who suddenly appeared, Tongtian Sect Leader thought: If he is willing to become his disciple and help him achieve his eternal empire, not only will he not kill him, but he will love him like his own son; but if Li Chen dares to disobey him, then don't blame his men for being ruthless!

"Visitor from another world, give this leader an answer today! Are you willing to become my disciple?" Tongtian's voice was as cold as ice, his eyes as sharp as swords, and he exuded a terrifying murderous aura. He had been restrained at first, but now his edge was fully revealed, as if he wanted to tear everything in the world apart.

Li Chen felt the overwhelming pressure from Tongtian Patriarch, and he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth, stood straight, and stared at the other party without flinching. Facing such a powerful figure, Li Chen knew that if he was not careful, he could die, but he did not fear.

Tongtian Sect Master was surrounded by a purple aura, his robes fluttering, like an immortal descending to earth. His every gesture exuded an otherworldly aura, a commanding presence that shook the world. Every subtle movement seemed to hold an endless mystery and depth, making it difficult to even look directly at him.

"I once heard that you adhere to the principle of 'teaching without distinction and teaching according to aptitude'. At that time, I still respected you and longed to become your disciple. However, now you have disregarded the lives of ordinary people in order to satisfy your selfish desires, and brazenly provoked a great catastrophe, causing countless lives to be destroyed and rivers of blood to flow! I cannot follow someone as cruel and inhumane as you who has committed so many evil deeds!" Li Chen responded righteously, with a firm light in his eyes.

Before he finished speaking, he had already grasped the Moyuan Staff tightly and resolutely rushed towards Tongtian Sect Master and his beast Qiongqi. Although he knew that this move was tantamount to hitting a rock with an egg and seeking death, the justice and courage in Li Chen's heart prompted him to move forward fearlessly!

"Hahahahahaha... What an ignorant brat! If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Seeing this, Tongtian Sect Leader not only didn't get angry, but instead laughed heartily. He decided to personally teach this person who dared to defy his will a lesson. In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the world was dark and chaotic...

Upon hearing Li Chen's response, Tongtian Patriarch let out a roar of unbridled laughter. This laughter, as if emanating from the Nine Netherworlds, was filled with eerie terror and terror, causing the entire Jiuhua Mountain to tremble. As this roar of laughter unfolded, the clouds shifted, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. The once tranquil and peaceful mountain peak suddenly became precarious and precarious.

Immediately afterwards, Tongtian Patriarch sat steadily on the back of Qiongqi, muttering something in his mouth. The Qiongqi suddenly became extremely ferocious, opening its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and waving its strong and powerful claws, rushing towards Li Chen like a moving mountain.

Facing such a fierce attack, Li Chen did not dare to be careless. He quickly displayed his unique skill - Blazing Flame, and his body turned into a red lightning, cleverly avoiding Qiongqi's fatal blow.

However, what happened next was completely beyond Li Chen's expectations, and it also made him deeply realize how terrifying his opponent Tongtian Jiaozhu was!

Seeing a brief gap in Qiongqi's attack, Li Chen made a decisive move, seizing this fleeting opportunity to launch a counterattack. He secretly gathered his strength, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Qiongqi. However, Qiongqi's flying speed was astonishing, streaking across the sky like lightning, and it easily dodged Li Chen's sure-shot blow!

As the saying goes, "adding wings to a tiger is like adding wings." Qiongqi already possesses a tiger-like strong body and sharp claws, and now with a pair of wings that can soar into the sky, its speed is simply incredible! Especially under the control of Tongtian Sect Master, Qiongqi has exerted its own speed to the extreme, so that even masters like Li Chen can hardly catch its flight trajectory with the naked eye.

"Heavenly maidens scatter flowers!"

As the ethereal, melodious cry of the Hibiscus Fairy rang out, a dazzling shower of colorful petals suddenly fell from the sky. These fluttering petals drifted down like fluttering butterflies. Some petals quietly fell into the massive body of the ferocious beast, Qiongqi, while others burrowed into Li Chen's body.

At this moment, Qiongqi and Li Chen simultaneously experienced two completely different and wonderful feelings.

The ferocious beast, Qiongqi, let out a deafening, earth-shattering roar. Its eyes widened as it stared intently at the beautiful figure scattering petals in the air, its mouth spewing blazing flames. As the mysterious petals invaded its body, Qiongqi felt its strength draining at an alarming rate, even its once surging magical power gradually weakening! Apparently, these seemingly harmless petals contained a deadly poison!

However, in stark contrast to Qiongqi, Li Chen experienced a completely different sensation. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that the petals seemed to possess miraculous healing powers. Like a warm, gentle spring, they gently soothed every wound on his body. Nourished by this miraculous power, Li Chen's injuries miraculously began to heal, and his pain was greatly alleviated.

Furthermore, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that his hands seemed to be filled with an unprecedented sense of strength, and this strength was continuously flowing throughout his body. At this moment, he felt as if he had been reborn, and a brand new aura emanated from his entire body. Li Chen clearly felt that he could run faster and fight more powerfully; even his eyes became exceptionally bright, and the previously elusive trajectory of Qiongqi's flight could now be easily captured.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly felt a mysterious energy flow into his body like a pipe. He turned in astonishment, only to see Fairy Hibiscus pouring all her might into his body! With this powerful infusion of energy, Li Chen felt a profound transformation taking place within his body—his strength had greatly increased, reaching a new level!

At this point, Li Chen finally understood: It turns out that the power blessing given to Fairy Hibiscus by the essence of the Ancestral Witch of Wood and the inner elixir of the pet's evolution is not only to weaken the enemy's strength, but more importantly, it can also play a huge role in enhancing one's own output capabilities!

"Okay, I'm going!" Li Chen shouted with great enthusiasm, his head held high and his chest puffed out. He was full of confidence and fighting spirit, as if he couldn't wait to show off his skills.
