Chapter 72: The Taixu Immortal Sword Scam! Possessed by the Bizarre Insect Ancestor!
【You saw Zi You's face turn deathly pale in an instant.】
【With the Chaos Bell protecting her, Zi You no longer needed to worry about being interrupted by Chu Wudi and the Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable.】
【When Chu Wudi saw that he had failed to interrupt her, his expression immediately darkened.】
【At that moment, you suddenly saw Chu Wudi's gaze turn toward you.】
【Your heart sank, and you knew what he intended to do.】
【You decisively turned around and used the Great Void Technique to flee with Lin Tian.】
【Chu Wudi seemed to have guessed that you were going to escape and directly sealed off your retreat in advance.】
【Seeing this, you had no choice but to take out the Taixu Sword and throw it directly to the Sword Pavilion Master in the air.】
【“Pavilion Master, catch it!”】
【When Chu Wudi saw that you had thrown away the Taixu Sword, his attention immediately left you.】
【All he could see was the Taixu Sword.】
【You saw Chu Wudi erupt with his full strength and charge into the sky, seizing the Taixu Sword before the Sword Pavilion Master could get it.】
【“I've finally gathered them all! I've finally obtained the Taixu Sword!”】
【“Hahaha—”】
【“My Immortal Opportunity! My Immortal Opportunity! The Immortal Opportunity is mine!”】
【“I'm going to ascend and leave this bizarre world!!!”】
【As you watched Chu Wudi fall into a crazed state after obtaining the Taixu Sword, you felt utterly helpless.】
【You had not wanted to throw away the Taixu Sword, but Chu Wudi only had eyes for it now. In order to survive, you had no choice but to toss it out.】
【If you had known this would happen, you never would have taken the Taixu Sword back from your External Incarnation.】
【After seeing the state of the Sword Pavilion, you had already sent a voice transmission, instructing your External Incarnation to take Zhou Lingxi to Qingzhou to find Fang Jingchun.】
【You took Lin Tian out of the Sword Pavilion's range and hid in the distance, secretly observing what was happening there.】
【You saw Chu Wudi take out his own fragment of the Taixu Sword and fuse all nine fragments together.】
【The nine fragments of the Taixu Sword attracted one another, repeatedly shattering and merging again within the void.】
【Yet you noticed that, upon seeing this scene, the Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable had no intention whatsoever of seizing Chu Wudi's Immortal Opportunity.】
【Instead, he calmly waited for the moment Chu Wudi completed the fusion of the Taixu Sword.】
【At the same time, you saw Zi You step out from within the Chaos Bell, then transform into a streak of sword light as she charged at Chu Wudi.】
【Chu Wudi also noticed Zi You's movement, but you saw that Zi You was simply too fast and gave him no time at all to react.】
【In the next second, you saw Chu Wudi's body pierced through, and then pierced again and again by the sword light without pause.】
【A few breaths later, you sensed that Chu Wudi no longer had any life left in him, and Zi You turned to attack the Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable again.】
【An hour later, the Blood Demon Heavenly Venerable was gravely wounded by Zi You and the Sword Pavilion Master and fled.】
【You then saw Zi You's figure disperse above the Sword Pavilion, leaving behind only fragments of the Chaos Bell scattered across the ground.】
【You returned to the ruins of the Sword Pavilion with Lin Tian, never having expected the battle to end like this.】
【The Sword Pavilion Master came to your side and said,】
【“Su Ming, the Taixu Immortal Sword is about to finish fusing. This Immortal Opportunity belongs to you.”】
【When you heard that, you frowned and looked at the Taixu Immortal Sword in the void, which was radiating wave after wave of immortal aura.】
【Zi You had died because of the Taixu Immortal Sword. Looking at the Immortal Opportunity before you, you could not feel any happiness at all.】
【This was not the outcome you wanted.】
【But when you thought of how Zi You had traded her life for this Immortal Opportunity for you, you clenched your fists and flew toward the Taixu Immortal Sword.】
【When you arrived before the Taixu Immortal Sword, its fusion had already been fully completed.】
【You seized the Taixu Immortal Sword before you, and at once, a powerful Taixu Sword Intent began swirling around your body.】
【In the next second, a ray of white light flew out from the Taixu Immortal Sword and drilled into the center of your brow.】
【Just as you thought this was the Immortal Opportunity contained within the Taixu Immortal Sword, a voice shattered your illusion.】
【“After all these years, someone has finally gathered the Taixu Immortal Sword. This ancestor can finally see the light of day again!”】
【“Taixu Sect, you can never kill me!!!”】
【When you heard that voice in your mind, you froze completely.】
【Though you had no idea what exactly was speaking, you were certain of one thing: this was absolutely not some Immortal Opportunity. This was a Bizarre Insect.】
【Sure enough, in the next moment, your suspicion was confirmed.】
【“Ant, the taste of your Primordial Spirit is truly delicious. Don't worry. In the future, I will definitely take you to the Immortal World!”】
【The instant you heard those words, you used the last of your strength to let a portion of your consciousness descend into your External Incarnation.】
【In the next second, your true body went black at the eyes and was completely devoured by the Bizarre Insect Ancestor inside the Taixu Immortal Sword.】
When Su Ming saw this, he could not help but suck in a cold breath.
He had never imagined that the legendary Immortal Opportunity of the Taixu Immortal Sword was a complete and utter scam.
This was a script the Bizarre Insect race had been writing since the Ancient Era.
Su Ming knew that Bizarre Insects could not cultivate Sword Intent, so they definitely could not obtain the Taixu Sword's recognition.
Because of that, they had no way to gather the fragments of the Taixu Sword, and in the end, no way to unseal the Bizarre Insect Ancestor sealed inside the Taixu Immortal Sword.
Su Ming also finally understood why the Taixu Sword had been split into nine pieces.
That Bizarre Insect Ancestor had to be monstrously powerful. Even the Taixu Sect of the Remote Ancient Era had no way to kill it.
In the end, they could only use a method to seal the Bizarre Insect Ancestor away forever.
At that moment, Su Ming realized that the simulation had not ended yet, which meant he was not completely dead.
Su Ming turned his gaze back to the simulator.
【After you were possessed by the Bizarre Insect Ancestor, Lin Tian and the Sword Pavilion Master also noticed something strange about you.】
【Seeing this, the Sword Pavilion Master immediately attacked you.】
【To his surprise, even though you were only at Mid Void Refinement, you were actually able to fight him evenly with the support of the Taixu Immortal Sword.】
【In the end, the Bizarre Insect Ancestor used the Great Void Technique and fled directly from the Sword Pavilion.】
【When you opened your eyes, you found yourself lying in a study at Heaven’s Revelation Academy.】
【When Zhou Lingxi saw that you had awakened, she immediately began asking anxiously about your condition.】
【Seeing that she still did not know what had happened to you, you explained the situation at the Sword Pavilion to her.】
【Zhou Lingxi looked at you in astonishment. She had not expected your true body to have already been possessed by a Bizarre Insect, though fortunately, your consciousness had descended into your External Incarnation at the last moment and temporarily escaped disaster.】
【Very soon, Zhou Lingxi informed Fang Jingchun of your situation.】
【Not long afterward, you saw Fang Jingchun enter the room, with Gu Xinyue following behind him.】
【You had not expected Gu Xinyue to be here as well, and her cultivation had already broken through to Initial Void Refinement.】
【“Little Junior Brother, are you saying that the Pavilion Master was injured, and that Eldest Senior Sister fell before they could barely protect the Sword Pavilion?”】
【“How could this be... Eldest Senior Sister was a Mahayana cultivator. Their opponent this time was actually that strong?”】
【Fang Jingchun, however, remained calm. He immediately focused on your situation.】
【“Little Junior Brother, are you saying that the Taixu Immortal Sword was a complete and utter scam?”】
