Chapter 57: Break Through to Void Refinement! Leave the Secret Realm!
【What you had not expected was that the talisman the Qingyun Sect’s Great Elder had just used was actually a Teleportation Talisman.】
【It directly teleported Jun Moxiao over from the Central Continent. Looking at Jun Moxiao, who had not yet fully stepped out of the void, you turned and ran at once.】
【Within a few breaths, you had already fled far beyond the bounds of the Qingyun Sect.】
【You looked back and saw that Jun Moxiao had not given chase, which allowed you to relax slightly.】
【You used the Great Void Technique again and fled toward the passage leading to the Central Continent. However, the moment you emerged from the void, you saw Jun Moxiao standing ahead, blocking your path.】
【“Ant, where else do you think you can run?”】
【Jun Moxiao looked at you coldly, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his lips.】
【“Ant, what I truly cannot understand is this: since you do not have the fate of the Ancient Chaos Fiend Heavenly Venerable, why have you caught the same death-seeking sickness he had?”】
【Before his words had even finished, you felt your body locked down by an invisible force.】
【Even using all your strength, you could not shake that power in the slightest.】
【In the end, you gave up. Before your External Incarnation died, you used the Eye of Truth to look at Jun Moxiao’s cultivation.】
【Jun Moxiao: Bizarre Insect】
【Cultivation: Mid Integration Realm】
【Spirit Root: High-Grade Earth Spirit Root】
【In the next instant, you, who were in secluded cultivation inside the Bronze Divine Hall, suddenly opened your eyes.】
【The death of the External Incarnation would not cause you any real, substantive harm.】
【But because a portion of your consciousness was attached to the incarnation, its death still made you feel a sharp pain.】
【You closed your eyes and began absorbing the information transmitted back from the External Incarnation.】
【“The Jun Family...”】
【“Mid Integration Realm...”】
【You glanced toward the bronze doors and decided to remain here and continue cultivating.】
【In your view, even if Jun Moxiao possessed the power of the Mid Integration Realm, he still would not be able to force open the bronze doors.】
【Moreover, you could already feel that you were on the verge of breaking through to Deity Transformation Great Perfection. At a time like this, you absolutely had to remain here and break through.】
【In the seventh year, you finally broke through to Deity Transformation Great Perfection inside the Bronze Divine Hall.】
【You took out a Void-Breaking Pill from your Storage Ring. Looking at the pill in your hand, you knew it was time to use it.】
【This Void-Breaking Pill had originally been prepared for Gu Xinyue, but the last time you saw her, you had not given it to her because you wanted to keep it for yourself.】
【You sat cross-legged inside the hall, closed your eyes, and began your secluded breakthrough toward the Void Refinement Realm.】
【While you were cultivating in seclusion inside the Bronze Divine Hall, tremendous changes took place throughout both Qingzhou and Youzhou.】
【After Jun Moxiao killed your External Incarnation, he went to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, found the Qingyun Sect Master, and then came before the Bronze Divine Hall, intending to force the doors open with brute strength.】
【After attacking for a full month without breaking open the bronze doors, Jun Moxiao finally gave up on a direct assault and had the Qingyun Sect Master continue guarding the place.】
【In the eighth year, Jun Moxiao arranged for a disciple of the Jun Family at Deity Transformation Great Perfection to rebuild the Myriad Demon Sect.】
【He also announced to all of Qingzhou that the demonic fiend had already been executed, that the Myriad Demon Sect was being rebuilt under a new Sect Master, and that everyone was free to join the Myriad Demon Sect once again.】
【And in order to dispel the concerns of human cultivators, the Myriad Demon Sect also increased its recruitment rewards. Anyone who joined would immediately receive a Foundation Establishment Pill.】
【The moment this news came out, all the Qi Refining cultivators of Qingzhou erupted into excitement and began scrambling to sign up for the Myriad Demon Sect.】
【The same scene was unfolding in Youzhou. Members of the Hun Family came to support the Yin-Yang Sect Master in rebuilding the Yin-Yang Sect.】
【At the same time, they methodically arranged for others to rebuild the Feathered Ascension Sect.】
【In the tenth year, after two years of reconstruction,】
【Qingzhou and Youzhou had both returned to their former appearance, as though none of this had ever happened.】
When Su Ming saw this, his brows twisted tightly into a knot.
He had not expected that Qingzhou and Youzhou truly were being controlled from behind by some vast power.
They would not allow the situation in Qingzhou and Youzhou to undergo any major change.
Each continent could have its own small-scale competition and grow through orderly rivalry.
But if someone like him appeared, the Central Continent would send people to suppress him, then use their influence to indoctrinate the people of the Mortal World.
“No wonder the Sword Pavilion has always stayed out of worldly strife!”
Only now did Su Ming understand why the Sword Pavilion had endured without falling. Keeping a low profile and refusing to contend were the keys to its survival.
“At present, the External Incarnation is already gone. So what happens next...?”
Su Ming turned his gaze back to the simulator.
【In the fifteenth year, you finally felt your cultivation reach a bottleneck.】
【You opened your eyes and, without the slightest hesitation, swallowed the Void-Breaking Pill in one gulp!】
【The moment the Void-Breaking Pill entered your stomach, you immediately felt a wave of heat surge through your entire body.】
【In the seventeenth year, you stood calmly in the center of the Bronze Divine Hall, stretching your limbs.】
【After two years, you successfully broke through to Initial Void Refinement and also managed to suppress the bizarre insects within your body.】
【You pushed open the bronze doors and walked out, then suddenly took a deep breath.】
【“Holy—cough, cough! Damn it! The Spiritual Energy out here is way too turbid!”】
【You had stayed inside the Bronze Divine Hall for more than ten years and had nearly forgotten that the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm had been contaminated.】
【After coming out, you instinctively took a deep breath, wanting to enjoy some fresh air from outside.】
【As a result, you discovered that the Spiritual Energy outside could not compare at all to the Spiritual Energy within the Bronze Divine Hall.】
【Just as you were about to leave, you suddenly thought of something and stopped in your tracks.】
【You returned to the Bronze Divine Hall once more, then tossed the Taixu Sword inside before turning to leave.】
【You had just calculated the time. If you went out now, it would be roughly when Chu Wudi was due to find you.】
【So you left the Taixu Sword behind. That way, not only would no one else be able to obtain it, but Chu Wudi would also be unable to find you.】
【You immediately flew swiftly toward the exit of the secret realm and soon arrived above the Heavenly Abyss.】
【Very quickly, you sensed yourself being locked onto by an aura.】
【Following that aura with your gaze, you found that it was none other than the Qingyun Sect Master.】
【Seeing that he was alone, the stone hanging over your heart finally dropped.】
【As you left, you had been worried that Jun Moxiao might be waiting outside for you.】
【But fortunately, your gamble had paid off. Jun Moxiao had already returned to the Central Continent.】
【Qingzhou and Youzhou were not permitted to have experts above the Void Refinement Realm.】
【“Ant, you finally came out?”】
【“It’s been more than ten years! I’ve finally waited for you to emerge!”】
【“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you easily. I’ll slowly devour your Primordial Spirit bite by bite and let you enjoy every bit of the pain.”】
【You looked at the Qingyun Sect Master with some impatience. This fellow was even more long-winded than you had imagined.】
【Since the Qingyun Sect Master had said so much, you decided to let him have a taste of being pierced through ten thousand times.】
【Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger—】
【You struck out with the Great Desolate Heaven-Imprisoning Finger again and again, directly piercing through all four of the Qingyun Sect Master’s limbs.】
【One moment ago, the Qingyun Sect Master had still been immersed in his own fantasies. The next moment, he looked at you in terror with both eyes wide.】
【In that instant, before he had even realized what had happened, he had already been nailed fast in midair, completely unable to move.】
【“Void Refinement? You broke through to Void Refinement???”】
