Chapter 73: Escaping into the Endless Sea Region!
【You briefly explained to Fang Jingchun and the others what had happened outside the Sword Pavilion after the Taixu Immortal Sword finished fusing.】
【After hearing it, Gu Xinyue could not help but suck in a cold breath.】
【“I never imagined that the Immortal Opportunity everyone pursued would turn out to be a lie fabricated by the Bizarre Insect race!”】
【You told them that Qingzhou and Youzhou were no longer places where you could stay.】
【Gu Xinyue looked at you in confusion and asked why you could not remain there.】
【You let out a deep sigh in response.】
【“My true body was possessed by a Bizarre Insect. He now knows everything about our situation in Qingzhou and Youzhou. Staying here is far too dangerous.”】
【As the calmest among them, Fang Jingchun spoke.】
【“I think Little Junior Brother is right. Time is short. We must act decisively now.”】
【In the end, under Fang Jingchun's suggestion, you split into two groups.】
【You set out from Youzhou with Zhou Lingxi for the Central Continent, while Gu Xinyue and Fang Jingchun first went to Youzhou to determine the Sword Pavilion's current situation.】
【They would check whether Lin Tian was still alive, and then go to the Blood Demon Secret Realm to bring Ye Chuxue and the gravely injured Xia Qiange with them to the Central Continent.】
【After arriving there, you decided to gather at a village near the Desolate Deathlands.】
【After leaving the Qin Kingdom, you did not immediately take Zhou Lingxi to the Central Continent. Instead, you headed toward the Myriad Demon Sect.】
【Before leaving Qingzhou, you planned to harvest the Qi and Blood of the Myriad Demon Sect and the Wind Thunder Sect one more time.】
【A month later, you took Zhou Lingxi and raced all the way toward Qingzhou's border pass.】
【During that month, Zhou Lingxi saw a completely different side of you, and it made her feel a trace of unfamiliarity.】
【But she also knew that those you had killed were all Bizarre Insects. Through her Immortal Eyes, she could tell that the cultivation technique you practiced was different.】
【It was just that, for the time being, she had not yet grown used to it.】
【Several days later, when you arrived at the border gate leading to the Central Continent, you discovered that the place had already been placed under strict control.】
【When you saw that the people taking over the place were members of the Jun Family, a faint look of shock appeared on your face.】
【It had not even been that long since you destroyed the Myriad Demon Sect and the Wind Thunder Sect, yet the Jun Family had already sensed that something was wrong and begun taking action.】
【After thinking it over for a long time, you felt it was possible that because you had once wiped out an entire sect in Qingzhou years ago, the Jun Family had become even more vigilant.】
【You took Zhou Lingxi and blended into another group's line, trying to slip through unnoticed.】
【You were gambling, betting that the Jun Family would fail to identify you.】
【At this point, you no longer had any way out. Returning to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to hide was no longer realistic.】
【After your true body was possessed, the Bizarre Insect Ancestor could also open the bronze gate. That place was no longer safe for you.】
【You and Zhou Lingxi soon began undergoing inspection by the Jun Family.】
【During the process, you remained tense, your eyes fixed at all times on the expressions of the Jun Family members around you.】
【Although you had absorbed the Qi and Blood of both the Myriad Demon Sect and the Wind Thunder Sect, you still had not broken through to Initial Void Refinement because you had not had time to refine it.】
【Suddenly, you saw the Jun Family members inspecting you exchange glances with one another.】
【When you saw that, a terrible feeling instantly rose in your heart.】
【In the next moment, you grabbed Zhou Lingxi, used the Great Void Technique, and in an instant crossed the checkpoint, racing down the road leading to the Central Continent.】
【“Catch them!”】
【Almost the instant you used the Great Void Technique, the Jun Family members around you surged toward you from all sides.】
【Fortunately, because you had activated the Great Void Technique in advance, you directly evaded the attacks of a whole group of Void Refinement experts.】
【You took Zhou Lingxi and ran desperately toward the Central Continent.】
【But because the Endless Sea Region lay between Qingzhou and the Central Continent, even if you used the Great Void Technique with all your strength, it would still take three months to reach the Central Continent.】
【I do not know whether you can hold on until you reach the Central Continent, but at this point, you have no way back. You can only charge forward blindly.】
【You had wanted to travel to the Central Continent hidden among another group, but for some unknown reason, your identities were exposed anyway.】
【In the next second, a figure blocked your path.】
【“Ant! You really can run.”】
【“But... I'm curious. How did a piece of trash like you, not even at the Void Refinement Realm, manage to kill Jun Moxiao?”】
【Only after hearing those words did you suddenly understand.】
【You had been wondering why your identities had been exposed so suddenly. It turned out that when you killed Jun Moxiao in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm, you had likely been stained with his aura.】
【At this moment, you looked at the Integration Realm Bizarre Insect from the Jun Family blocking your way, then turned back to glance at the Jun Family Void Refinement squad that was about to catch up.】
【You sank into profound despair.】
【“Brother Su, what should we do now?”】
【At this moment, even Zhou Lingxi rarely showed a trace of panic on her face.】
【After hearing Zhou Lingxi's words, your gaze turned fierce. As you looked at the Endless Sea Region on both sides of the passage, an idea immediately formed in your heart.】
【You turned to Zhou Lingxi and spoke gently.】
【“Lingxi! Hold me tight and close your eyes!”】
【After hearing your words, Zhou Lingxi froze for a moment, then wrapped her arms tightly around you and buried her head in your chest.】
【“If Heaven wants me dead, then I refuse to accept it!”】
【As soon as the words fell, you used the Great Void Technique to rush out of the passage and plunge into the Endless Sea Region.】
【When the members of the Jun Family saw you throw your life away like this, all of them briefly showed shock on their faces, only for it to be replaced by deep disdain.】
【“A mere ant actually thinks it can survive in the Endless Sea Region!”】
【“Hmph! You overestimate yourself!”】
【Within the Endless Sea Region, the instant you entered, you lost all sense of direction.】
【At the same time, fierce astral winds continuously battered your body.】
【After only a few breaths, there was not a single uninjured place left on your body, and blood covered you from head to toe.】
【You knew that you now had no road left to retreat on. Even if you did, you would not be able to find your way back.】
【And so, you continuously used the Great Void Technique, endlessly traversing the Endless Sea Region.】
【Gradually, your consciousness began to blur, and the injuries on your body grew heavier and heavier.】
【You knew that at this moment, you absolutely could not close your eyes.】
【The moment you did, the Bizarre Insect inside your body would directly possess you.】
【BZZZ—】
【After your next use of the Great Void Technique, you suddenly felt all the astral winds around you vanish.】
【You landed on a beach with Zhou Lingxi.】
【You told Zhou Lingxi to stand guard for you while you used the last of your strength to begin refining the Qi and Blood inside your body.】
【At the moment, there was no Secret Realm available, but fortunately, you had cultivated the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art. As long as you had Qi and Blood, you could continuously use it to cultivate and recover your injuries.】
【Once you entered seclusion, you had no awareness of the outside world at all. You entrusted your life to Zhou Lingxi.】
【“Oh? After all these years, some newcomers have finally arrived?”】
