4 Chapter 4: Bewitching Dreamy Lake

*Screech... * *Kukuku... *

Unknown animals and beast dominated the area of a huge forest.Just by listening to the sounds makes your hair at the back of your neck stood to its tips.It seems a little scary when you're just alone while cold wind is brushing your skin.The darkness shrouded the place with only the dull moonlight of the moon,that's half covered by the dark clouds,are giving a little brightness to this scary place.

Surrounded by the far and not far away sounds is a giant tree with a huge tree hollow at the center of the center of the tree that seemed unnatural.Inside the hollow is a beautiful goddess closing her eyes while crossing her slender and delicate legs it seemed she's very focus in meditating.

Next to her is a handsome young man now wearing a red mixed with black robe from the system,the author itself did not know how he manage to wear that female's white robe,with flower embroidery all over it,until now.He sit still in a daze... ,but if you can see what he is seeing right now,you'll know that he's also very focus on the systems hologram.Clevenge is busy searching for the other features of the system.

"System,show me my stats.,It's been a long time since I saw my stats,I've killed many Demon beast this past few days,can't wait to see my cultivation rank."

He thought excitedly.

*Sssssu*

Like the last time,the system parcel brightened for a moment before it dimmed again,showing a different display.

[                 Name:"Clevenge Nettleton"

                Status:"Healthy"  

Cultivation Rank"Qi Foundation realm"                            (late) [350/25,000]               

MartialArtsTechnique:"Heaven's Palm"

            Body Physique:"Iron Body"

        Act Tough Points:"27"

                                                                                ]

"Huh?,Still Qi Foundation,Are you kidding me system?,I've already killed hundreds of beast and it's still this low?"He thought angrily.

If someone could hear him right now,those people would surely vomit blood for wanting to beat him up.In cultivation someone would need atleast a year to go up in 1 stage,the higher the rank the longer the time it would take for them to rank up.But for him he just needs to kill to cultivate because of the system and it's even less than a month that he got rank up with 2 stages.

*Ding* [The host needs to kill a higher level of cultivator to gain bigger exp.]The system resounded.

"Ahh... how can I kill higher level cultivator when you're a big swindler who's giving me a tad bit of points while selling the item like I'm buying a house and lot?You know there aren't any cultivator here who I can act tough with."He thought angrily.

System:"... "

After awhile,as if the system thought of a solution resounded.

*Ding* [The system detected a treasure nearby,new quest triggered,the host needs to get the treasure and will be rewarded after achieving the task.]

Clevenge got surprise for a bit before smiling excitedly:"Hohoo... so you still have conscience in you huh,that's the way,be a good little girl and follow your master... hehe.Where is it,just tell me where it is,even if it's in the star,I'll get it and complete the quest."He said with a smug.

*Ding* [It's in the star...]

"Nghha!"

[... direction with it's color of slightly blue.]

He did not finish his smug act when it became a horrofied look and then calmed down a bit after the system finished.He's heart shook when the system said 'star',he thought the system made it's fast come back.

"I... I'll try my best not to offend this little monster system."He thought while in a cold sweat(inner).

After some time,he stood up and peek outside the tree hollow looking for the star that the system told him.

After a few minutes,he still can't find the star and thought of something while smiling widely.

"Syst... "

*Ding* [The host needs to rely on himself in finding what he need's to find]As if knowing what his about to say the system resounded with a blank tone.

"Guhh... "

................

Clevenge,after finding the star,is now jogging towards its direction.His eyes shots a bloodlust while producing a murderous aura with his head bulging with viens.It looks like he's too sleepy that he needs to let out anything even anger just to make him awake.It seems like he's been doing it for hours while walking and running like a killer who seeks its pray.If many people were watching him right now,I'm pretty sure you'll hear at least this,'mommy look,an airhead uncle'.

Other cultivator could stay awake in a few days without sleeping.But his different to others,he's still not use to it and would still need to sleep,more over this world has a longer day and night time.

"Nearby you say!?,Heck with it... "He thought gritting his teeth.

After an hour more.The bulge on his head got huge that it looks like it will erupt at any moment,like a volcano.

"Aghh... why is it that it's always night time this damn system wants me to wor..."

*Ding* [The host has arrived,the hosts just needed to enter in the 'Bewitching Dreamy Lake' and get the treasure in it.]The system resounded cutting his trash talks.

Clevenge look straight in front of him.A huge calm and still lake,covered with a slowly fading mist,appeared in front of him.Accompanied by the soothing sounds of the water slowly dripping down with a fine ripples of the water surface showing its smoothness,the scene is so mesmerizing that you'll be sure to think that you're in a dream with its highest quality it can offer,without a doubt.

*Ding* [This Bewitching Dreamy Lake is a moving Illusionary array that will entrap any cultivator in it,until they die without them noticing,however at the core center of the lake is a teleportation array that will bring the host to another world and will test the host ability while the time inside is faster than the outside world.]The system resounded again as if knowing what Clevenge's next question.

Clevenge suddenly broke free from his amazement.While his sleepiness magicaly vanish in an instant.He got surprised for a moment before calming down.

"So you're saying,I need to past the test to get the treasure with me having not worry about the time?"He said calmly as if knowing this will happen.Well,he reads a lot of novel about this so his not that surprise... ,but deep inside him keeps beating faster in excitement.

*Ding* [The host is correct.]The system resounded while Clevenge got into another train of thoughts.

"Now,I got a chance to test this myself... hehe lets see how cool am I inside this test,and then after I get out,I'm gonna get stronger trampling those so called young masters of this world and burning those f*cking damn sects while keeping those patriachs's daughter for myself...keke... whahahaha... "He thought like already knowing what's to happen while abruptly laughing hystericaly like a new born demon lord.

*Ding* [Advising the host to enter immediately before the Moving Array changes it's location.]The system resounded in a blank tone.

After hearing the systems prompt,he immediately started walking towards the lake.The more he got closer the more he got enchanted that he felt his body wanting to stay here forever.Upon looking closely,he got to see many beautiful ladies swimming and bathing,talking and laughing,that is very soothing in the ears, at the lake while calling him into it.With slender bodies,white soft skin tones and a seductive smiling lips,they look very tempting that any man would make it hard to control themselves.

Clevenge body started boiling hot,that it makes him difficult to move forward.Knowing it's just an illusion,he gritted his teeth while trying his best to control his urges.

"Young man,play with your big sister here for a bit."A seductive voice covered his ears.

He turned his head and saw a seductive tempting beauty,with a bountiful chest,sitting on the lake side wearing a dazzling dress while relaxing her beautiful slender long legs elegantly looking at him with her rapture-blue eyes.Her silky-golden hair plunged over her tempting shoulders.Her beauty can't be simply describe that you'll only be thinking of the word 'perfect',forgetting any word to describe other than it.She has an other worldly aura that makes any man obey without any hesitation.

Clevenge got surprised with a slight tremble of the body seeing the goddess.

How can an array create such an otherworldly beauty surpassing a goddess.Is this still an illusion?can I bring this goddess back home?Ahh... I can't take it anymore.

He bit his lips while clenching his teeth and shouted:"I... I won't just give my sacred wonderful otherworldly body to just anyone!"

After shouting,he suddenly run towards the lake and dive directly into it.

*Splash*

The lake was again felled with silence,with only the slowly dripping droplets of water you can hear.

*Bloop* (finishing touch bubble)

If someone was still here,that person will surely notice the 'goddess' changing its expression from a shock to a meaningful smile.

..............

Under the water...

Clevenge was desperately swimming down to the bottom of the like,with the face still brightly red.He just can't forgot the goddess even if he tried to.

*Ding* [The host recieves 2,000 acting tough points for successfully acting tough.]

He suddenly stop flabbergasted with a widened eyes,bewildered.

*Thump*Thump*

"Is this from the goddess?Is my perception correct?Is that goddess really not an illusion?And with a 2,000 points at that?... Sh*t,I just missed something big... but it looks like that goddess is quiet strong base on the points given by the system,then why did she let me go just like that?Well,whatever it is,I'll be sure to know it in the future...with the goddess coming with me of course...hehe... this world's getting interesting."He thought smilingly with excitement.

After thinking many baffling questions he can't answer,he later put it at the back of his mind and continue to go deeper and deeper.

After a few minutes,he finally got to see the bottom.He abruptly stoped,astounded again,he notice the bottom felled with skeletons and their weapons and etch.

"What the hell is this?Is this the victim of that damn lake,too many?"He thought with another tremble of his heart,if not for him having a strong will,he probably would have ended lying with this nearly rotting skeletons.

If you can call the top the heaven,then the bottom is completely opposite,having a  dark aura shrouding the place.Even though it's the case,it's still quite mysterious why the water is quite clean that you'll think the skeleton was just another illusion if not for the dark aura covering it.

"System,can you take all of there usable equipment and put it directly to the storage?"He cruelly thought without a tad bit of hesitation.

Hehe... of course your equipments are all mine,you think I'll let you slipt within my own grasp just because you're dead?It's natural for me to kept it right?you're happy right?you should all be happy right now for offering your last offering you can make in this world with the most handsome youngman in the universe.kekeke...

*Ding* [The host needs to pay 10 points for it to be completed.]

"Do it."He said after a moment of hesitation,even though he got a thousand points he's still a bit hesitant in spending it.

*Ding* [Successfully stored]

With just a few minutes all the usable equipment got stored inside the system's storage,with almost no clear changes on the skeleton alinement or anything on the surroundings.It just looked like nothing happened with just the system ringing.

The curning of his lips curve up when he saw this.It's not clear if he's just happy because he got the equipment or because he has new trump card to use incase he wanted to steal sneakily.

He dive down to the bottom ground and immediately activated the teleportation array by inserting the so called spirit stone in it from the skeleton.It looks like he got rich in an instant.

A spirit stone is commonly used by a cultivator as a currency.It is also use to cultivate because of its Spirit Qi inside of it that the cultivator absorbs to fasten their cultivation.

*Sssssu*

A light suddenly covered Clevenge and with a hissing like sound he vanish in a blink of an eye.

..............

*Sssssu*

He appeared in a floating flatform with a seemingly endless golden staircase.Every where on his surroundings has nothing but a blue sky and a white cotton like clouds.No matter how you look at it he seemed like a person who's about to bid its farewell to the mortal world and ascend to heaven.

He kept his composure,already bored in being surprised and all.He started walking to the staircase nonchallantly as if already knowing what's to be done.

1st step...2nd step...3rd step... and then he started running... When he's about to reach the 20th staircase,He felt he's body suddenly became heavy and nearly stumbled.

"Ugh... ,so it's a gravity test ehh?"

*Ding* [This stage is testing the host's soul strength and perseverance]The system resounded correcting Clevenge.

"Heh... but still,I atleast would need some audience to show my awesomeness,too bad huh...well let's just finish this fast."

"Syste... "

*Ding* [Advising the host to rely on himself and take time in completing this stage to temper the soul strength.]Again,the system did not let Clevenge finish,as if knowing what he's about to say.
