Foundation Establishment Means Death Sentence? Did My Simulator Glitch?

Chapter 74: Sword Pavilion's Second Senior Brother—Jiang Yang!

【“Hm? One at Late Deity Transformation? And another at Core Formation?”】

【“How did you manage to survive long enough to get here?”】

【After hearing that voice, Zhou Lingxi looked around warily.】

【Then Zhou Lingxi saw a young man walk out from the forest ahead.】

【Jiang Yang looked at the wary Zhou Lingxi and helplessly waved his hand.】

【“Little girl, there's no need to look at me with so much caution. We're all unfortunate souls trapped on this desolate island, unable to get out.”】

【When Zhou Lingxi used her Immortal Eyes and saw that Jiang Yang was not a Bizarre Insect, she immediately let out a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face relaxed as well.】

【Jiang Yang sharply caught that detail.】

【“Oh?”】

【“Little girl, why are you suddenly not afraid of me anymore?”】

【Zhou Lingxi walked over to your side and replied calmly,】

【“You're human, so naturally I'm not afraid!”】

【After hearing Zhou Lingxi's explanation, a strange light flashed through Jiang Yang's eyes.】

【“You can actually tell that I'm human?”】

【“Do you have a special physique?”】

【This time it was Zhou Lingxi who looked at Jiang Yang in surprise. She had not expected him to infer that she had a special physique from such a tiny detail alone.】

【Zhou Lingxi did not answer Jiang Yang, and instead silently guarded your side.】

【At that point, Jiang Yang also seemed to notice what was going on.】

【“What is he to you?”】

【Zhou Lingxi did not respond.】

【“From the looks of him, he's in very bad shape. He was injured like this by the astral winds over the Endless Sea Region. If he doesn't enter a Secret Realm to recover in time...”】

【At this point, Jiang Yang abruptly changed his tone, and the expression on his face shifted dramatically.】

【“He'll soon be possessed by a Bizarre Insect. If I were you, I'd send him on his way right now, so you don't end up being stabbed in the back by the person closest to you.”】

【When Zhou Lingxi heard that, her expression turned extremely ugly.】

【Ever since you brought her out of the Great Zhou royal family, she had also learned of these hidden secrets.】

【But she had also heard you tell her just now to guard you.】

【In Zhou Lingxi's eyes, the fact that you had asked her to guard you meant that you had a way to deal with your injuries.】

【Zhou Lingxi told Jiang Yang with absolute certainty that nothing would happen to you.】

【Jiang Yang could only let out a helpless sigh at that.】

【“All right. Since you're this stubborn, then good luck. But if he really does get possessed by a Bizarre Insect, don't blame me for killing him.”】

【After throwing out those words, Jiang Yang turned and left the beach, disappearing into the forest.】

【Meanwhile, Zhou Lingxi silently kept watch by your side.】

【A month passed in the blink of an eye.】

【Zhou Lingxi saw Jiang Yang walk out from the forest once more.】

【Jiang Yang looked at you in astonishment, and a trace of shock appeared on his face.】

【“Hm? This little brother's injuries are actually recovering, and...”】

【When Zhou Lingxi saw Jiang Yang circling around you several times, she frowned and said,】

【“What are you trying to do?”】

【“Strange! How strange!”】

【“This little brother actually seems to be on the verge of breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.”】

【Jiang Yang told Zhou Lingxi not to worry. He would not make a move against you.】

【Half a year later, you successfully refined all the Qi and Blood from the Myriad Demon Sect and the Wind Thunder Sect and successfully broke through to Initial Void Refinement.】

【When you slowly opened your eyes, the first thing you saw was a face that was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar.】

【“You are?”】

【At that moment, when Zhou Lingxi saw that you had awakened, she immediately ran to your side, threw her arms around you, and burst into loud sobs.】

【“Brother Su, you're finally awake! This person kept saying you might be possessed by a Bizarre Insect. I was so scared!”】

【When you heard that, you stroked Zhou Lingxi's head and comforted her.】

【Once you saw that Zhou Lingxi's emotions had stabilized, you turned your gaze toward Jiang Yang.】

【The more you looked at Jiang Yang's face, the more you felt that you had seen it somewhere before.】

【Seeing you stare at him so intently, Jiang Yang immediately became somewhat at a loss.】

【“Little brother... do we know each other?”】

【At this moment, your mind frantically searched for information about the man before you.】

【Not long afterward, your eyes widened, and a look of delight appeared on your face.】

【“Second Senior Brother! It's you! It really is you!”】

【You remembered now. The person before you was the Sword Pavilion's Second Senior Brother.】

【Back when you had first entered the Sword Pavilion, Lin Tian had shown you the portraits of all your senior brothers and senior sisters.】

【Because there had been so little information about Second Senior Brother, you had not paid much attention to him.】

【That was why, when you first saw him just now, you failed to recognize him immediately.】

【“Me? Second Senior Brother?”】

【After hearing that title, Jiang Yang seemed to sink into certain memories.】

【“You're from the Sword Pavilion?”】

【Afterward, you told Jiang Yang about how you had entered the Sword Pavilion, as well as the recent destruction of the Sword Pavilion.】

【After hearing these things, Jiang Yang's expression became somewhat desolate.】

【“I never imagined that in the twenty years I've been trapped on this isolated island, so many things would have happened to the Sword Pavilion.”】

【“I never imagined that even Eldest Senior Sister had already...”】

【At this point, a look of pain could not help but appear on Jiang Yang's face.】

【In his eyes, Zi You had been one of the strongest main forces resisting the Bizarre Insects.】

【Jiang Yang had never expected Zi You to be cut down before her time because of a human traitor. It was simply a tragedy for the human race.】

【At this moment, you suddenly realized that you had not actually escaped the Endless Sea Region and returned to the Canglan Realm, but had instead fallen onto a desolate island.】

【You began asking Jiang Yang how you could leave this island and return to the Canglan Realm.】

【Jiang Yang looked at you and shook his head, indicating that there was no way to leave.】

【“Outside the island, the place is filled with endless astral winds. We can't even see the road back. We wouldn't last long before being killed by the astral winds.”】

【Jiang Yang understood what you were thinking, but even he, an Integration Realm cultivator, could not return to Youzhou, much less you, who had only just entered Initial Void Refinement.】

【Jiang Yang told you that he too had once been hunted by Bizarre Insects in the Central Continent.】

【Driven to desperation, he had entered the Endless Sea Region and, by a stroke of fortune, stumbled upon this desolate island and survived.】

【“It's a pity Eldest Senior Sister's Great Void Technique is so difficult to cultivate. Otherwise...”】

【At that point, Jiang Yang's words abruptly stopped, and he said no more.】

【Now that Zi You had fallen, there was no one left in the world who could take them out.】

【When you heard those words, your eyes immediately lit up.】

【“Wait, Senior Brother Jiang, what did you just say? The Great Void Technique?”】

【Jiang Yang let out a sigh and explained,】

【“That's right. If we want to get out of here now, the Great Void Technique is our only hope.”】

【“But the Great Void Technique is far too profound. Without the bloodline of Eldest Senior Sister's family, it's very difficult to cultivate.”】

【At this moment, Zhou Lingxi, who stood nearby, looked at you excitedly and said,】

【“Brother Su, I remember that you seem to know the Great Void Technique! It looks like we can leave this place!”】

【When Jiang Yang heard that, his face filled with shock, and he stared at you in disbelief.】

【“Little Junior Brother, you know the Great Void Technique?”】

【“I'm talking about the complete Great Void Technique, not the incomplete version that Old Six had!”】
