I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Li Chen stood in front of the Water Curtain Cave, his gaze fixed on the direction Taibai Jinxing and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals had departed, his worry undiminished. He took a deep breath, turned, and walked into the Water Curtain Cave, gathering his subordinates, allies, and Fairy Furong and the others.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, everyone sat in a circle. Li Chen stood in the center, his voice resonating through the cave like a bell. "Everyone, although we have endured numerous hardships and ultimately succeeded in defeating and resealing the Twelve Ancestral Witches, this does not mean we can let our guard down. As the saying goes, 'An army may be laid to rest for a thousand days, but it cannot be laid to rest for a single day.' We must remain vigilant at all times and not let our guard down even for a moment."

Li Chen's words were serious and forceful, his gaze sweeping across everyone present, as if to convey his resolve. Everyone nodded in agreement with his point of view. Although the Great Tribulation had been quelled and the Twelve Ancestral Witches had been resealed, this did not mean that the world had truly welcomed peace and tranquility.

Li Chen knew that this world was far more complex than he had imagined. Even if the Twelve Ancestral Witches were sealed, there was no guarantee that other potential threats would not emerge. Therefore, he decided to continue to strengthen training and enhance everyone's strength to prepare for the upcoming crisis.

"We cannot become complacent because of a temporary victory, nor can we forget the difficulties and obstacles we have encountered. Only by continuous efforts can we ensure our survival in this world," Li Chen continued, his voice full of determination.

After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. They realized that what Li Chen said was not alarmist, but based on a deep understanding of the world. So, they all expressed their willingness to follow Li Chen's instructions, persist in training, and improve their abilities.

The atmosphere in the Water Curtain Cave was solemn and serious. Li Chen felt a sense of relief as he looked at the crowd. He knew that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to meet the challenges ahead. Everyone responded to Li Chen with passionate words and inspiring eyes, as if he were their hero and leader.

Their trust and support for Li Chen are beyond words, because they have always believed that this new generation of Monkey King will surely lead them to a more glorious path to success!

Li Chen thought to himself that after attending this banquet, he would devote himself wholeheartedly to preparing for the next fierce battle on Huaguo Mountain. He was full of confidence in himself, firmly believing that as long as he gave his all, there would be no enemy that he could not defeat.

Moreover, he had the support of his brothers from the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain. They were united and determined, so how could they be afraid of the so-called Donghuang Taiyi? Li Chen refused to believe this lie. He firmly believed that even in the face of a powerful opponent, as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome difficulties and achieve ultimate victory!

"good!!!!"

Everyone let out a deafening roar, and then began today's training in full swing. Li Chen had never known anything about training the army, and the training of the soldiers was left to Hou Tu, Gong Gong, Fei Lian, Ping Yi, Ying Long Gu, Nv Ba and others.

As for Li Chen, his task was no easy one. When the soldiers, exhausted from their arduous training, returned to camp to rest, Li Chen would begin his work. He would distribute pills to each soldier. These pills were meticulously crafted, possessing powerful properties for restoring strength and enhancing cultivation.

Not only that, Li Chen also prepared medicinal baths for the soldiers. The medicinal baths contained various precious herbs and elixirs, which could fully nourish and repair the soldiers' bodies in a short period of time, allowing them to quickly recover their physical strength and significantly improve their cultivation.

With the support of so many elixirs and rare treasures collected from the underworld, the combat effectiveness of those rigorously trained monkeys and the soldiers of the Demon-Destroying Army soared like a rocket.

Meanwhile, within the Celestial Palace's Lingxiao Palace, a crucial meeting was underway. The Jade Emperor, seated on his throne, summoned the gods to discuss matters related to the Heavenly Peace Conference. This victory was of immense significance to the Celestial Court, a result they had long coveted. Therefore, they decided to celebrate this great victory with all their might.

However, just as the gods were happily discussing how to hold this grand An Tian Conference, a sudden and discordant voice suddenly rang out in the Lingxiao Palace, breaking the originally joyful atmosphere.

"Your Majesty! Li Chen told me that Donghuang Taiyi is very likely to attack the Heavenly Palace!" Taibai Jinxing's voice echoed in the Heavenly Palace, and the gods looked at him in astonishment after hearing it.

Taibai Jinxing stood there with a serious expression, as if he believed what he said. The gods looked at each other, and a strange feeling surged in their hearts.

Taibai Jinxing has always been an important figure in the Heavenly Court, and his words are usually credible. However, this time his words left the gods confused.

Especially when they saw Taibai Jinxing's expression, they felt that something was wrong. Taibai Jinxing's expression was extremely ugly, as if he was also a little unsure about what he said.

The gods began to whisper and discuss with each other. Some wondered if Taibai Jinxing had taken the wrong medicine, as he could not help but say such a ridiculous thing.

After all, Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun had already died in the Lich War, which was a well-known fact in the Heavenly Court. But now Taibai Jinxing suddenly said that Donghuang Taiyi might come to attack the Heavenly Court, which was really hard to believe.

"Old Taibai, don't take everything Li Chen says seriously. I think he was probably dreaming and told you what happened in his dream as if it were real, right?" said the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li with a look of disdain.

His words caused a burst of laughter among the gods. Everyone felt that what Li Chen said made sense. What Li Chen said was probably just a dream. How could one believe a dream so easily?

However, Taibai Jinxing was not affected by the ridicule of the crowd, and he still insisted on his own point of view. He did not believe that what Li Chen said was a dream, and he believed that Li Chen would never lie to him!

"Your Majesty, I don't think Li Chen's words are entirely without reason." Taibai Jinxing looked at the Jade Emperor with a serious expression and continued, "Although the Lich War has been over for thousands of years, no one can guarantee that Donghuang Taiyi won't make a comeback. After all, he was a formidable figure back then, with unfathomable strength."

Taibai Jinxing's voice was firm and powerful, as if he was confident in his point of view. However, the Jade Emperor was clearly not interested in what he was saying. He frowned slightly and interrupted Taibai Jinxing impatiently: "Alright! Taibai Jinxing! Now is the time for the celebration of the Peaceful Heaven Conference. I don't want to hear such words again!"

The Jade Emperor's voice was filled with majesty, shaking the entire palace. His words were like an imperial decree, unquestionable. Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing, though somewhat dissatisfied, dared not say anything more. He understood the Jade Emperor's feelings at the moment. After all, the Heaven Peace Conference was a major celebration in Heaven, and should not be disturbed by such ominous words.

However, just as Taibai Jinxing was about to shut up, Zhenwu Emperor suddenly spoke up: "Taibai Jinxing, you don't have to be afraid. Even if Donghuang Taiyi really dares to come, with the strength of our Heavenly Court, how could we be afraid of him?"

Zhenwu Emperor's voice, like a mighty bell, echoed through the palace. His words betrayed a powerful confidence, as if he was unfazed by Donghuang Taiyi's threat. In Zhenwu Emperor's eyes, while Donghuang Taiyi possessed immense strength, he must not forget that he was facing a Heavenly Court that had fully recovered from the calamity. Even if he were a fierce tiger, he couldn't defeat a pack of wolves!
