Martial Cultivator Chapter 258: Why Do I Seek Eternal Life

Yun Jianyue stood by the lake, and a phenomenon emerged between heaven and earth. Countless waterspouts rose into the sky, looking especially horrifying.

Yun Jianyue slowly rose into the air, like a deity hovering between heaven and earth. He looked down at Chen Chao and said calmly, “Between heaven and earth, there are winds and clouds, countless magic spells. No one can fully comprehend them all, but as long as one understands some of them, they naturally become incredibly terrifying.”

Chen Chao looked up at this daoist genius and said calmly, “You really look just like Song Changxi back then.”

Back then, it was also by the lake, Song Changxi had created a lightning pool with countless lightning bolts. Lightning was everywhere between heaven and earth, wanting to kill Chen Chao within it. Now, Yun Jianyue stood between heaven and earth, much like Song Changxi back then.

Chen Chao tightened his grip on the broken saber and shook his head as he said. “If it weren’t for Mr. Wei back then, he would have died. Today, you’re lucky. Whether or not Mr. Wei is here, you won’t die.”

Yun Jianyue remained silent. He just floated to the center of the lake. Without the strange white mist’s suppression at this moment, he now truly possessed the cultivation of the Bitter Sea Realm, and it was the pinnacle of the Bitter Sea realm. How could the average cultivator rival him?

When facing a daoist cultivator with one foot into the Great Beyond Realm, what about Chen Chao, this Bitter Sea martial artist, do?

It seemed like he could not do anything at all.

Chen Chao smiled and did not concern himself with these things. Gripping the broken saber tightly, the qi within his body surged. A saber aura emerged by the lakeside, resembling a water dragon as it swept toward the waterspouts in the lake.

Yun Jianyue reached out, seemingly plucking a waterspout directly from the lake. He held it in his palm and then swung it heavily. It smashed down ruthlessly like an unbelievably huge club! Nnew n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e(lb)i(n.)co/m

Between heaven and earth, countless water splashes scattered in all directions, like a heavy rain.

If one looked carefully at this moment, one would see that even the lake’s water level had dropped considerably even to the naked eye.

As the enormous club made of the water column fell, Chen Chao’s saber beam also collided with it.

The water column and saber beam collided, and countless water splashes scattered in all directions, rushing everywhere.

This time, it truly rained heavily in the mortal world.

Chen Chao abandoned his saber and his body instantly tensed up. Then, he threw a punch. The powerful and fearsome qi followed the meridians along his arm, and converged at his fist. In an instant, it blossomed from his fist, meeting the scattered lake water.

This punch slammed into it and the fist force forced the lake water to both sides, failing to land on Chen Chao’s body.

The lake water was not ordinary lake water but rather, the manifestation of Yun Jianyue’s qi. Chen Chao was well aware of the consequences if it landed on him.

Yun Jianyue’s expression remained unchanged, but as that water spout dissipated between heaven and earth, he spread his hands out. Those water spouts from the lake rushed towards the sky, eventually becoming like one heavenly river after another, sweeping across the sky and heading towards Chen Chao.

Yun Jianyue’s face became somewhat pale. Even for him, he found it challenging to simultaneously operate this magic spell and send so many water spouts toward Chen Chao.

Chen Chao tightened his grip on the broken saber and took large strides forward. Before those heavenly rivers collided with him, he took a step out first, arriving in front of them.

Then, without any hesitation, he slammed right into them.

A tough body.

Chen Chao’s expression remained unchanged, there was only a hint of a smile in his eyes.

……

……

A moment later, the splashes of water shattered, and a fissure suddenly appeared by the lakeside. Countless lake waters flowed into the crevice.

Chen Chao’s figure reappeared by the lake, but his complexion was somewhat pale.

Yun Jianyue remained floating in mid-air, and his complexion had also turned somewhat pale. Facing this young martial artist before him, he had not expected that the water spouts actually failed to completely defeat Chen Chao.

After what felt like a long time, Yun Jianyue descended from the sky and came to the lakeside. He looked at Chen Chao and said, “It seems there’s no need to continue.”

Chen Chao shook his head and replied, “It’s not over yet.”

Yun Jianyue frowned and said, “Are you forcing me to fight you with a life-and-death attitude?”

Chen Chao smiled and responded, “I’ve been saying all along, in a true life-and-death battle, you’re not my match.”

Yun Jianyue replied calmly, “It’s not necessarily so.”

He spread his hands out once again. The lake water that had fallen from the sky headed up into the sky again at this moment. But this time, under the full display of power from this Bitter Sea Realm cultivator, the entire lake’s water was swept up toward the sky. Unlike before, after the lake water surged to the sky, it turned into one river after another. But at this moment, it was an entire lake’s water suspended in the air.

It looked as if a lake had suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Chen Chao raised his head and lamented, “This is really flashy!”

Yun Jianyue turned a deaf ear to it and just said calmly, “Haven’t you noticed anything peculiar?”

Hearing this, Chen Chao furrowed his brows and asked, “Are you saying there isn’t a single fish in this lake?”

Within this ancient ruin, there were towering ancient trees and numerous mountain flowers and wild fruits not seen for countless years. However, there was no signs of living creatures, which felt very strange.

Chen Chao thought for a moment and remembered the skeletons in the cemetery.

This ancient ruin was teeming with the aura of death everywhere.

Yun Jianyue shook his head and said, “Actually, that’s not entirely true. Trees are also a form of life, and those flowers too, aren’t they?”

“What flowers?”

Chen Chao was a bit perplexed. He had not seen any flowers.

Yun Jianyue smiled and said, “It’s the flower that blooms in my heart.”

Chen Chao furrowed his brow and asked, “What rubbish are you talking about?”

Yun Jianyue paid no attention to him. The lake water floating in mid-air suddenly changed its shape and transformed into an enormous flower in an instant.

It was a crystal clear flower; an incredibly massive flower!

Chen Chao looked up at the flower and was just about to speak.

Then, the flower transformed into the likeness of a woman.

The woman was dressed in daoist robes, her facial features indistinct, but it just felt very different; like a flower.

Chen Chao was about to say something but furrowed his brow.

Because at this very moment, Yun Jianyue became visibly different.

His aura kept climbing, and in an instant, it had already crossed the threshold and arrived at a further place.

He broke through.

In this strange place, Yun Jianyue’s realm was no longer suppressed. No one had expected that Yun Jianyue, whose realm was no longer suppressed, would take another step forward in the end.

Chen Chao muttered, “How are we supposed to continue fighting?”

Yun Jianyue who was in the Bitter Sea Realm was already so challenging to fight, now that he had stepped into the Great Beyond Realm, it would be even more challenging.

Yun Jianyue did not hear this.

He looked at the woman formed by the lake water with immense joy.

This was his Great Dao.

It was unknown whether or not it would lead to eternal life.

But, it made him incomparably happy.

“Why do I seek eternal life?”
