I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Seeing the Twelve Ancestral Witches re-sealed, the atmosphere instantly heated up! The heavenly soldiers and generals brandished their weapons, and cheers resounded through the sky; the Asuras also raised their arms and cheered, celebrating this hard-won victory; the soldiers of the Demon-Slaying Army expressed their inner joy with passionate war songs; and the disciples of the Jiejiao were so happy that they cried, moved by the heroic performance of Li Chen and other powerful people.

Amidst the deafening cheers, Nezha and Erlang Shen excitedly ran towards Li Chen, their faces beaming with smiles and their eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Brother Li Chen!!!" the two shouted in unison.

Li Chen watched them rushing towards him, and an indescribable joy welled up in his heart. He opened his arms, ready to receive a hug from his two good friends.

However, when Nezha and Erlang Shen ran in front of Li Chen, their actions caught him off guard. They both stretched out their hands and tightly embraced Li Chen's shoulders, holding him tightly, as if they wanted to rub Li Chen into their bodies.

"Ouch!" Li Chen couldn't help but cry out. This sudden enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming for him.

"Haha, Brother Li Chen, you're truly amazing!" Nezha said excitedly, "These twelve witch ancestors have been giving Heaven a headache for a long time. I never thought you could actually seal them back up!"

Erlang Shen nodded repeatedly and echoed, "Yes, Brother Li Chen, you've accomplished an extraordinary feat this time! I can't even imagine how the Jade Emperor will reward you. He might even give you a high official position!"

Li Chen laughed heartily at their words. He patted Nezha and Erlang Shen on the shoulders and said, "Haha, you two are too kind. This is not just my achievement, but also the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Li Chen's words made Nezha and Erlang Shen feel a little ashamed. They recalled the divine soldiers and generals that Heaven had sent before to attack the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and how each time they had ended in failure, they had to retreat in disgrace. If it weren't for Li Chen's timely appearance, who knows how long this great catastrophe would have lasted before it was finally quelled.

"What's wrong, brothers?"

Li Chen was puzzled by their expressions and asked. He really couldn't understand why Erlang Shen and Nezha had such expressions.

After all, wasn't the victory of this battle the result of everyone's concerted efforts and cooperation? Furthermore, they had also bought themselves enough time to comprehend the Taixu Sword Qi.

"To be honest, our cultivation is so low that we didn't play a big role in this battle!"

Erlang Shen said with a look of shame. Although he was hailed as the greatest war god in heaven and the nephew of the Jade Emperor, he realized how insignificant he was before these great gods. His so-called pride was completely shattered by these truly great gods!

"It's okay. It's a great help that you and Nezha can come to join the battle and help me fight against the Twelve Ancestral Witches!" Li Chen smiled and walked forward like a spring breeze. He gently patted the shoulders of the two, with sincere gratitude in his eyes.

Although Nezha and Erlang Shen played relatively limited roles in the fierce confrontation with Pangu's true body, they came to support him without hesitation. How could Li Chen not remember such deep friendship?

"Don't worry, I will do my best to help you break through your cultivation realm!" Li Chen's voice was firm and powerful, as if giving everyone a reassurance. "Not only that, I will also help you find a few more sophisticated magic weapons to help you make further progress on your path of cultivation!"

He paused, looked around, and continued, "In addition, I will carefully prepare a generous gift for all my fellow Taoists and subordinates who came to support me to express my sincere gratitude to you!"

After saying that, Li Chen patted his chest without hesitation and made this promise to everyone.

Before he finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and mobilized the vast magic power in his body, which was like a surging torrent, continuously gathering in his palms.

As his magical power surged, the world between heaven and earth was suddenly enveloped by a dazzling red light. The red light was like a burning flame, blazing fiercely and illuminating the entire space.

In this red light, countless figures can be vaguely seen. These figures are dressed in various clothes, some are wearing armor, with strange appearances, and have three heads and six arms, looking majestic; some are wearing Taoist robes, with immortal-like appearances.

In the blink of an eye, these figures gradually became clear. They turned out to be the warriors and heroes from all sides who had unfortunately died in the battle with Pangu's true body. Under the influence of Li Chen's powerful magic, they were resurrected and given a new life.

These warriors, drawn from various factions, possessed diverse identities. Some were disciples of the Jiejiao sect, led by Tongtian Patriarch. These disciples were powerful, possessing unique spells and combat techniques. Others were Asuras, under the command of the Four Asura Kings. They were renowned for their bravery and combat prowess, possessing astonishing combat power.

In addition, there are also some soldiers from Li Chen's Demon-Slaying Army. After long-term training and fighting, these soldiers have become an elite force. Finally, there are the soldiers and generals from the Heavenly Court brought by Nezha and Erlang Shen. They represent the authority and power of the Heavenly Court.

Surprisingly, not only did the bodies of these resurrected warriors recover, but their cultivation levels also greatly improved. Warriors who were originally in the Golden Immortal realm were now promoted to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm; and warriors who were originally Daluo Golden Immortals went a step further and were directly promoted to Quasi-Sages!

This transformation shocked and delighted everyone present. Witnessing the warriors' increased strength, they felt as if they had seen the dawn of victory. Especially when they saw the brothers who had fallen in battle resurrected, the sadness on their faces was instantly replaced by pure joy.

After all, they had lost many like-minded brothers in the brutal battle with Pangu's true body. However, now that these brothers had been miraculously resurrected, how could they not be happy? This joy was like a spring breeze, warming everyone's heart.

As for those who survived the battle, Li Chen would naturally not treat them unfairly. He lightly used his magical power, and a dazzling red light suddenly emerged from his body, like a rising sun, illuminating the surrounding space with a red glow.

This red light seemed to possess magical power, like a warm spring breeze, gently caressing the bodies of those people. Under the red light, their bodies trembled slightly, as if they were undergoing a baptism of rebirth.

As time went on, the red light gradually penetrated into their bodies, deep into their bones, washing away the impurities and dirt in their bodies, making their bodies purer and stronger.

Not only that, Li Chen also used his unfathomable Heavenly Dao Sage realm to infuse this powerful force into the weapons and magic weapons in their hands. These originally ordinary weapons and magic weapons, under Li Chen's blessing, instantly glowed with dazzling light, becoming incomparably sharp and powerful.

Those who were resurrected by Li Chen and rewarded by him, felt the changes in their bodies and weapons, and were so excited that they could hardly contain themselves, and cheered excitedly. This cheer was like thunder, resounding throughout the battlefield and lingering for a long time.

Li Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of joy when he heard the crowd's cheers. He looked at these people who had been reborn and strengthened because of him, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

However, this joy did not last long. Just as Li Chen was immersed in the cheers of the crowd, his keen senses suddenly detected something strange.

He looked closely and found that amidst the deafening cheers, there were actually several sneaky figures. These figures were taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd's cheers to quietly escape into the distance.

Li Chen took a closer look and realized that those who wanted to escape were actually the Buddhas of Lingshan! They had taken advantage of the perfect opportunity of the crowd's cheers to successfully break through the seal set by Tongtian Sect Master and were preparing to take this opportunity to escape.
