Chen Fu slowly raised his hand.
The waterfall seemed to freeze for a moment as a bead of water turned into a water sword and shot out.
Then, Chen Fu pushed his hand out.
Swoosh!
The waterfall began to flow backward, forming water awls that hung upside down and pierced straight into the nine heavens.
Then, the water sword tore through the void toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou could feel the power of force unique to Saints. It was indeed far superior to that of a Venerable Master. Nevertheless, this move of the Great Saint was not very remarkable; it was just returning to the basics and relying on the power of the Dao.
Lu Zhou cast the power of sight and saw the water sword. If it were not for his divine power, he would not have been able to see the water sword at all. Everything seemed to slow down as he moved slightly to the side to dodge the water sword.
The water sword flew past Lu Zhou and circled back to him.
“Golden lotus?” Chen Fu’s voice rang out.
In just a blink of an eye, Chen Fu appeared in front of Lu Zhou and pressed his hand against Lu Zhou’s chest.
Lu Zhou frowned as he felt a strange force trying to devour him. It was as though he was about to be dragged into a bottomless abyss.
‘Impeccable Card.’
Buzz!
The Golden Buddha’s Body was not big, it was just enough to shroud Lu Zhou’s entire body. The dazzling Golden Buddha’s Body kept the devouring force at bay.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
What sounded like morning bells and evening drums rang in the air, causing the entire Autumn Dew Mountain to tremble.
…
At the foot of the mountain, the cultivators who had come to visit raised their heads one after another. They looked at the mountain peak in confusion.
A loud bang sounded before the barrier of Autumn Dew Mountain trembled. Then, it suddenly expanded, sending all the cultivators outside the barrier flying back.
Whether it was a renowned big shot, an expert from a major sect, or a person with high status, all of them were sent flying without exception.
After a moment, the barrier shrank, returning to normal.
After the cultivators landed, they looked at the Autumn Dew Mountain fearfully before they hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground.
“We apologize for incurring the Saint’s wrath!”
“Please forgive us.”
“We don’t mean to disturb the Saint. Please show mercy!”
All of them disregarded their rank and status, kowtowing over and over again.
…
Chen Fu frowned, puzzled. He tried to press his hand against Lu Zhou’s chest but found that he was stopped by the Golden Buddha’s Body. “Hmm?”
Lu Zhou looked at Chen Fu and calmly said, “Great Saint, you have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea.”
The waterfall was still flowing backward.
When Chen Fu sparred with others, he would usually defeat his opponent with one move. Since a long time ago, the people from the Great Void aside, cultivators from the nine domains were nothing to him. In his opinion, no one would be able to withstand a single blow from him. He had decided to use three consecutive moves today since he could sense Lu Zhou’s confidence. As expected, he was right to do so.
The first move was the water sword; it missed. The second move was the palm strike; it was ineffective. The third move was something that had been long prepared; it was the 10,000-feet-tall waterfall.
Swoosh!
At this time, all the water at the peak of Autumn Dew Mountain flew toward Chen Fu, forming water swords that spun like a vortex in the sky.
Then, energy swords began to appear as well.
Following that, the water swords and the energy swords fell from the sky like icicles.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
They rained down like a storm on the mountain peak.
Miraculously, the swords evaporated before they landed on the pavilion.
Chen Fu did not dodge. He stood calmly, watching Lu Zhou.
The swords whizzed past Chen Fu and Lu Zhou’s ears and the tips of the noses.
Chen Fu did not mobilize his Primal Qi at all. He only hovered in the air, looking as though he was not doing anything about the energy swords shooting at him.
Lu Zhou was the same. He did not seem like he was doing anything about the water swords at all.
This move was a test of their courage and insight. It was also a test of their extreme control.
The duo was completely unharmed.
At this moment, the waterfall began to fall in the right direction, and everything returned to normal.
Yan Mu and Hua Yin looked at the duo with dumbstruck expressions on their faces.
After a moment, Yan Mu bowed and said, “Saint Chen’s strength is heaven-shaking. It’s truly awe-inspiring.”
Yan Mu did not understand the battle at all, but he was certain that Chen Fu had won with overwhelming strength.
Hua Yin shared the same thought as well. He bowed and said, “Master is still as strong as always!”
Chen Fu ignored their flattery. Instead, he asked in a frown, “Are you really just a Great Venerable Master?”
Lu Zho flashed and appeared near the stone bench in the pavilion.
Chen Fu returned to his original position as well.
Lu Zhou looked at the chessboard and asked, “In your opinion, who won?”
Yan Mu and Hua Yin: “...”
“This…” Chen Fu hesitated for a moment. He thought he might be embarrassed because he was a Saint, but since he was a Saint, how could he not have this bit of magnanimity? Hence, he said, “I lost.”
“Ah?” Yan Mu fell backward.
Hua Yin’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at his master.
Chen Fu said, “In the nine domains, there isn’t anyone who’s able to dodge all three moves. Even someone from the Great Void wouldn’t have been able to dodge it as perfectly as you did.”
Chen Fu thought Lu Zhou would thank him, and with that, everyone would be able to keep their dignity.
Contrary to Chen Fu’s expectations, Lu Zhou said, “They’re just petty tricks. If I were to truly use my strength, I’m afraid I’d hurt you.”
“...”
Yan Mu’s eyes rolled back. ‘I’m going to faint.”
Chen Fu laughed, looking like an amiable old man. His laughter sounded exceptionally happy. He did not give an excuse nor defend his loss. A loss was a loss.
Lu Zhou said, “The method of resurrection.”
Chen Fu nodded. However, his voice was filled with regret as he said, “There’s indeed a method to resurrect the dead that’s out of this world. It’s a cultivation method that defies the heavens. Alas, humans can’t cultivate it, not even I can.”
“Not even you can do it?” Lu Zhou frowned.
“There are things the heavens forbid. These things are almost impossible to achieve. For example, reversing time and resurrecting the dead,” Chen Fu said, “More than 30,000 years ago, I traveled everywhere. I left my footprints all over the nine domains. I was a beggar, a peddler, a soldier, a woodcutter, a high-ranking official…”
“...”
‘Why do all experts like talking in such a manner? It’s extremely boring…’
Finally, Chen Fu said, “When I was in the black lotus domain, I heard about something that could bring the dead to life. This thing is called the Resurrection Scroll.”
“The Resurrection Scroll?” Lu Zhou asked skeptically.
“Rumor has it that it can break the shackles of heaven and earth. It can defy the will of heaven and grant eternal life. Once you use the scroll, you’ll suffer heaven’s wrath,” Chen Fu said.. Then, he paused and said in a lowered voice, “If you’re not careful, you’ll be consigned to eternal damnation.”
