Strongest Offline Cultivation-Chapter 158 Xue Le’s Determination

“Anyway, it seems like I have rested enough. Although I would like to rest more, I should move on.” Long Tian stretched out his arms and said.

“Are you leaving already? Didn’t you say you want to stay here until you rest enough?” Xue Le looked at him with a surprised gaze and asked.

“When I was talking about him, I realized that I need to get stronger and without surpassing my limits, I can’t get stronger. So, I should take some risk and swim back to my continent.”

“We might meet in the future. Hopefully, you won’t bring your friends along with you.” Long Tian’s eyes fell on Lily, Chu Yan, and Wu Kong when he said that.

Three of them were monsters and very much the enemies of humans. The war between the four races is still going on Tiandao Continent. Bringing these there would definitely cause an uproar.

Three of them got silent after hearing that. The power level of the Tiandao Continent is completely above the Yan Continent. Even in Yan Continent, it is hard for them to walk around without getting targeted by different races.

And, if they are targeted by the majority of Nascent Soul Cultivators, it would be a disaster for them.

“Alright! Let’s meet again.”

Splash!

Long Tian shook his hand and jumped into the sea. He started swimming in the other direction.

“The war between four races never seems to have an ending. Whether it is Yan Continent or Tiandao Continent, the war will continue. And, we are too weak to do anything.” Chu Yan lowered his head and muttered with his eyes flinching.

“No, there is no need to think about them. We are currently in a battle against the Yan Continent. Only if we win, we can finally move on to the next opponent.”

Xue Le patted his head and spoke with strange confidence on her face. Her head turned down as she looked at him and continued.

“Right now, you should take some rest. We will continue our journey to the Devil’s Land. Once we arrive there, we need you to be at your peak. If we face any terrible situation, I will wake you up.”

Chu Yan knew his situation very well so he decided to take some rest. At this moment, Lily moved to the top of the mast and looked at the broad horizon of the sea.

‘Even if we are cultivators, we can’t outrun the wraith of the ocean. We must flow with the current of the ocean. And, hope that we won’t face any difficulties.’

Although she hoped for the better, it always doesn’t occur. As they proceed, the currents of the ocean became faster and more impactful. It was dangerous to lose this boat right now.

The lightning bolts were striking down from the black clouds. Massive hurricanes were hitting the seas. The large wave of the ocean was moving them around as if they were a ball in the hands of a juggler.

“Le, we might need to wake them up. If it goes on like this, this boat will get destroyed.” Lily who had been holding on for a while finally spoke. The boat was practically breaking from sides so she knew if they don’t wake up others soon, they will sink.

Xue Le clenched her fist and spoke.

“No. We are going to face this by ourselves.”

“This is not the time to be stubborn. We can’t face this by ourselves.” Lily shouted.

“It’s not about being stubborn. He can’t wake up because his soul is resting right now. They can’t wake up because they were too tired after paddling. Don’t you understand? They need rest.”

“And, we haven’t even crossed half the distance. It would take two more days before we reach there. We need to prevent this boat from falling apart by ourselves. We need to let them rest for now.” Xue Le clenched her fist and shouted.

“But how? We don’t have the strength to fight against the Wraith of the Ocean.” Lily shouted.

“Yeah, we don’t. We can’t fight against the ocean but we use the current, can’t we? Cultivators are divided into three groups based on their use of spiritual energy.”

“Reinforcement Group, Creation Group, and Manipulation Group. Chu Yan is good with Manipulation and Reinforcement but his main strength is Manipulation.”

“Wu Kong is good within the same group but his main strength is Reinforcement. Chen is good at all three of them, and his main strength is equally distributed.”

“Those who focus on Reinforcement can utilize their spiritual energy to massively boost their physical strength. Wu Kong and Chu Yan used that to get us here.”

“Creation Group focuses on materializing things with their spiritual energy. That’s where we are standing right now. And, manipulation group controls the spiritual energy into different forms and uses them for various purposes.”

“Chu Yan previously used his Wind Element to help us sail several miles in a few minutes. I have been using the spiritual energy in Manipulation Group but I am also good at Creation Group.”

“I am not that good when it comes to Reinforcement though. So, I will use my spiritual energy and materialize the cover around the boat. We can ride the waves and reach our destination if the cover doesn’t break.”

“In any case, we can’t wake them up. Up until now, we haven’t really done anything at all. Whether it was facing off against the Kraken or running away from it, we just basically stood by.”

“So, this time we must do things on our own.” Xue Le spoke and the next moment, she closed her eyes. The spiritual energy slowly came out of her dantian and flowed out around her body.

Using her exceptional control over the spiritual energy, she used it to cover the boat. Then, she raised her hands together and opened her eyes.

“Materialize”

Whoosh!

The next moment, the spiritual energy that was in the form of a cloud turned into the glass. After it covered the entire ground, Xue Le used her spiritual energy to create a binding around Fu Chen, Chu Yan, and Wu Kong.

It allowed her to freely sail now.

“You are right. We can’t rely on them every single time.” Seeing her hard work, Lily released her spiritual energy as well. She condensed the giant wings around her original wings.

Whoosh!

She flapped one side of her wing, and the boat made a turn toward the direction they needed to go. The current from the ocean slammed their boat and the boat crossed several meters in just a few seconds.

Crack!

Xue Le gritted her teeth when she heard this sound. She didn’t hesitate even for a second to utilize her spiritual energy to fix the broken part of the boat. Thankfully, only her spiritual energy-generated glass was broken.

So, she immediately fixed it and understood why Lily didn’t want to take the risk. If this goes on, if they hit every single wave, she might get exhausted by it.

That’s why they were avoiding the waves and currents but now, they can’t. The faster they reach their destination, the better it would be.

“Lily, we can’t give up now. Let’s continue.” Xue Le’s eyes blazed with determination as she shouted. She wanted to become his asset, not his burden.

When she was small, she had heard many stories of a charming young man saving the princess and falling in love with each other. But, in every single story, the female lead has become nothing but a burden for the male lead.

Whether it was getting forcefully taken away by her family or getting kidnapped by a villain, she will always become a motivation for the character to get stronger.

But, at the same time, she would be nothing but a burden. A person who can only give her lover some emotional support and relaxation in bed. That’s all. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

And, that’s why she wanted to be different. From taking control of her sister-in-law to using her brother as a pawn, she had been trying to be different and not to receive any help from Chen.

But even so, she still needed his support. She still needed him to come and help her. Up until a few hours ago, she hated that. She hated to become his burden and a tool for his growth.

But right now, she understood that it was okay. They are lovers. It was only a matter of time before they get married. In that case, it was normal for a couple to share their burden.

And, that’s why she realized now that he has done his part, it was her turn. It was her part to help him reach his destination.

At this moment, Lily was watching her from the side. She had been with Xue Le for quite a while and could see how much she had grown. She took a deep breath and thought.

‘You have accomplished your goal but you still have your dream. How long are you going to wait before telling him?’
