Chapter 158 (1/2)

Chapter 158 – She Has to Continue Living!

A weak electrical current flowed through the lakewater. In the midst of swimming, Ning Xuemo discovered that this electrical current also flowed into her body, meandering around. The feeling was somewhat similar to the hot springs at the Crown Prince’s residence; it was just that this was much stronger.

‘Is this lakewater like a concentrated essence of the world’s mysterious and wonderful Nature, thus causing the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy here to be boundless?’

Even she, who was a waste in psychokinesis, could strongly feel the energy. If it was a talented person, three days of cultivation here could easily equal three years of cultivation in the outside world!

‘How strange. This place was extremely valuable. Even if only those sect heads could come, they should have thought of a way to keep this place for their own and built some cave dwellings at the least right?’

At the very least they should make a trip here once every three days. The situation should not be like the current one, where the place was left alone for so long that even one sect head might not even come every eight years or ten years. This was a bit illogical.

Ning Xuemo also thought of staying here for a while. Perhaps if she was here for around ten days to half a month, she might be able to build a solid foundation…

However she had not eaten anything for more than half of the day and had been fighting for survival for so long. She was already hungry to the point that her stomach had shrunk. What’s more she urgently needed a place to rest for a bit after eating to recover her energy.

The bright moon looked like a plate, but her hunger caused her to see a large sesame seed coated cookie instead. She wished she could take a few bites of it.

She swam for a little while before suddenly realizing that something was amiss.

With the speed she swam, she should have gotten much closer to the shore; yet, looking at it now the distance between her and the shore was still quite a bit far, as if she had been swimming in circles around her original position.

‘This is strange.’ No matter where one looked at this area of water, it was clear and cloudless like a picture. She could even see the vegetation by the lakeside quite clearly.

When she was swimming, she could distinctly see the ripples caused by her movements, yet she couldn’t reach the shore!

It was as if she encountered a ghost misdirection phenomenon.
