From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 303 A Chance Encounter at the Immortal Lake, A Love Story in the Immortal Realm

I gazed at the deep, bottomless Lake of Oblivion, my heart churning with complex emotions.

Curiosity, like an invisible hand, pushes me forward; fear, like a cold net, tries to bind me tightly.

But that mysterious calling was like the sweetest temptation, something I couldn't resist.

Taking a deep breath, I suppressed my unease and slowly walked towards the lake.

The surrounding air seemed to have solidified, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

The sounds of the wind and insects vanished, leaving only the heavy thud of my footsteps, one after another, striking my heart. The tense atmosphere was so thick it was almost palpable.

The closer I got, the stronger the force became, like a giant vortex that was about to completely engulf me.

Zi Ling's shouts faded into the distance, and I felt as if I were in another world, a world where there was only me and this lake.

Suddenly, my feet lost their footing, and before I could react, a huge suction force pulled me into the lake!

The icy lake water instantly enveloped my entire body. I opened my eyes wide in terror, but could only see a murky darkness.

A feeling of suffocation washed over me like a tidal wave. I struggled desperately, trying to grab onto something, but could only wave my arms in vain.

The lake water rushed into my mouth and nose, icy cold, despair, helplessness, and all sorts of negative emotions gnawed at my nerves like venomous snakes.

I felt my body getting heavier and heavier, as if an invisible hand was pulling me down to the bottom of the lake.

On the shore, the ethereal immortal paced anxiously. He wanted to rush into the lake to save me, but he was blocked by an invisible force and could only watch helplessly as I struggled in the water.

His face was filled with worry and self-blame, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

I felt my consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, and my body growing colder and colder.

Am I really going to die here?

I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled!

I still have so much to do, I haven't found my way back yet, I...

Just when I was about to despair, I suddenly felt something at the bottom of the lake pulling at me...

The icy lake water, like a leech, relentlessly eroded my body.

My consciousness is like a candle flickering in the wind, swaying uncertainly, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

The pulling force from the bottom of the lake grew stronger and stronger, as if an invisible giant hand was about to drag me completely into an endless abyss.

In my hazy state, I seemed to see scenes from the past: those desperate escapes, those countless brushes with death, flashing before my eyes like a revolving lantern.

The future is shrouded in uncertainty; I can't see the direction, nor can I see any hope.

Fear coiled around me like a venomous snake, making it hard for me to breathe.

"Am I really going to have to stop here?" I roared in frustration, but no sound came out.

Despair, like a black tide, completely overwhelmed me.

On the shore, the ethereal immortal's cries grew fainter and fainter, but I was powerless to help and could only watch helplessly as I sank into oblivion.

The feeling of suffocation grew stronger, my vision began to blur, and my body felt heavier and heavier.

I felt as if I had lost control of my body and could only let that force do as it pleased.

Suddenly, Wen Chen's image flashed through my mind.

His gentle smile and affectionate eyes were like a ray of light, illuminating my dark world.

No, I can't give up!

I can't let him down!

But what else can I do?

In this endless darkness, I am but a tiny being, utterly powerless to contend with this mighty force.

"Xiao Yao, hold on! We will definitely find a way!" Elder Qingfeng's voice boomed in my mind like thunder.

Yes, I can't give up! Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I'll hold on tight!

I struggled desperately, trying to break free from the force binding me.

However, my body felt heavier and heavier, as if it were filled with lead.

Just when I was about to despair, I suddenly felt that the pulling force seemed to have softened a bit.

It no longer seemed to be simply trying to drag me into the abyss, but rather guiding me, leading me toward some unknown direction.

I tried to open my eyes wide, wanting to see everything around me clearly.

But I could see nothing but endless darkness.

"Perhaps I can try to communicate with this force..." A thought suddenly came to my mind.

I stopped struggling and calmed down, slowly relaxing my body.

I tried to use my mind to feel the flow of that power and to understand its intention.

"Who are you? Where do you want to take me?" I asked the power in my mind.

There was no response, only endless silence.

I continued to try, again and again, tirelessly conveying my thoughts to that power.

Suddenly, a blurry image appeared in my mind.

It was an ancient altar, upon which sat a mysterious treasure.

The treasure emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire altar.

Could it be that this force wants to take me there?

I took a deep breath, stopped resisting, and followed the guidance of that force, slowly sinking into the depths of the lake.

Just then, the ethereal immortal suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, she..."

The icy lake water gradually lost its biting chill, and the pulling force softened, like a pair of warm hands gently supporting me and guiding me downwards.

I cleared my mind, stopped resisting, and let this force pull me slowly down to the bottom of the lake.

The surrounding pressure disappeared, replaced by a wonderful tranquility.

I felt as if I had merged into the lake and become a part of it.

My body became incredibly light, like a feather, floating freely in the water.

A warm current flowed in from all directions, enveloping my body and nourishing my soul.

I felt a powerful force slowly merging into my body.

This power was so pure and so strong that it made me feel more comfortable and at ease than ever before.

My consciousness gradually cleared, and the darkness before my eyes gradually dissipated.

Instead, a soft light, like the morning sun, warm and bright, filled the room.

I saw that deep at the bottom of the lake, there was an ancient altar with a jewel that shone brightly on it.

The light from the jewel grew stronger and stronger until it completely enveloped me.

I felt a strange change happening in my body, an unprecedented power surging within me.

A low, buzzing sound reached my ears, like a call from ancient times.

I feel my soul is being elevated, merging with this world.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, I felt myself break free from some kind of restraint, and a powerful force surged out from my body.

I opened my eyes and saw that everything around me had become bright.

The lake water was no longer murky, but crystal clear, like crystal.

I slowly rose from the bottom of the lake, my body radiating a dazzling light, like a fairy descending to earth.

I saw that the ethereal immortal, Elder Qingfeng, and the others on the shore were staring at me in disbelief, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

I slowly landed on the shore, feeling the surging power within me, and a smile appeared on my lips.

"Is this the power of the Immortal Realm?" I murmured. "Now, I finally have enough power to face all challenges."

Suddenly, I sensed a familiar presence...

A thought struck me: this aura belonged to Wen Chen!

Before I could fully react, a familiar figure rushed towards me like an arrow released from a bow, bringing the warmth I had longed for.

Before I could even see his face clearly, I was embraced tightly by a strong and powerful hug.

"Yao'er, I've finally found you!" Wen Chen's voice was deep and gentle, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

His embrace was so warm and safe, like a safe haven, instantly soothing all my unease and weariness.

I greedily inhaled his familiar scent, a faint fragrance of herbs and trees mixed with a unique aroma that made me feel incredibly at ease.

I slowly raised my head and looked at the handsome face before me, so full of affection, and my eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

He was still as handsome as ever, with exquisite features, but there was a hint of weariness in his eyes. He must have suffered a lot in his search for me.

I reached out and gently stroked his cheek, trying to soothe all his fatigue.

"Wen Chen, what brings you here?" My voice was choked with emotion, my heart filled with gratitude and surprise.

"I sensed your presence and came immediately." He looked at me tenderly.

I leaned against him, feeling his warm body temperature, and my heart was filled with happiness.

The people around us looked at us with kind smiles. Their ethereal immortal stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction; Elder Qingfeng also showed a kind smile, as if he saw the happy appearance of his own child.

A warm and romantic atmosphere filled the air, as if the entire fairy realm was immersed in our joy.

At this moment, I feel like the happiest person in the world.

However, this happiness did not last long.

Suddenly, a chilling aura shattered the beautiful atmosphere.

I suddenly looked up and saw a dark mass of figures appearing in the air not far away.

The leader was none other than Mo Yuan!

A sinister smile played on his lips. The people behind him exuded powerful auras and were clearly no ordinary individuals.

They were like dark clouds, blotting out the sun and bringing a sense of oppression and terror.

"Xiao Yao, Wen Chen, we meet again." Mo Yuan's voice was low and hoarse, as chilling as a venomous snake.

Wen Chen's eyes instantly turned sharp. He shielded me behind him, exuding a powerful aura.

I knew a fierce battle was about to begin.

"Mo Yuan, what are you planning to do now?" Wen Chen asked coldly, his tone full of warning.

"What for?" Mo Yuan laughed loudly, his voice full of mockery. "Of course, I've come to take your lives!"

Wen Chen's expression grew even more serious. He gripped my hand tightly and whispered, "Yao'er, be careful, they're up to no good."

I nodded, took a deep breath, and gathered my strength to prepare for the upcoming challenge.

"Attack!" Mo Yuan suddenly gave the order, and the people behind him immediately surged forward like a tide, launching an attack on us.

Wen Chen pushed me back and then went to meet them, engaging in a fierce battle with Mo Yuan and the others.

I watched Wen Chen's figure, my heart filled with worry.

I know that Mo Yuan is very strong, and the people he brought are no ordinary people either.

Can Wen Chen really handle this all by himself?

Just as I was about to step forward to help, a voice suddenly rang in my ear: "Xiao Yao, you've finally fallen into my hands..."
