293: Ziyou was seriously injured!

【Year eight!】

【You, who were in seclusion, were suddenly interrupted.】

【You looked at Gu Xinyue, who had an anxious expression, and suppressed your inner displeasure.】

【“Senior Sister Gu, what happened?”】

【You knew that Gu Xinyue would never interrupt your seclusion without a good reason.】

【“Little Junior Brother, it’s been three years! Senior Sister has been gone for three years and still hasn’t returned!”】

【“Little Junior Brother, do you think something might have happened to Senior Sister?”】

【Hearing Gu Xinyue’s hurried words, you frowned slightly.】

【You hadn’t expected Zi You to be gone for three years. Normally, she should have returned by now, especially since you only ever went out for a year or two at a time.】

【Considering Zi You’s Realm and strength were not as great as yours, it was reasonable for her not to have returned in three years.】

【Your Great Void Art had the bonus of movement technique mastery, so your speed was not just a little bit faster than Zi You’s.】

【Thinking of this, you comforted Gu Xinyue.】

【“Senior Sister Gu, there’s no need to worry. Senior Sister Zi You might be moving more cautiously because she’s out, so her speed is much slower than mine. It’s quite reasonable for her not to have returned in three years. Let’s wait a bit longer!”】

【Under your comfort, Gu Xinyue finally nodded and turned to leave.】

【After Gu Xinyue left, you had to consider whether Zi You’s absence was due to her slower speed or because she had encountered some danger.】

【As you pondered, you found that you could no longer Cultivate normally in seclusion.】

【During your previous seclusion, you had vaguely touched the threshold of the Immortal Realm Late Stage. You knew very well that with a few more years, you could definitely Breakthrough.】

【Therefore, you left the Heavenly Mystery Bagua Formation and wandered around for a bit to clear your mind.】

【A month later, you returned to your residence and resumed your seclusion.】

【Time flew by, and another three years passed!】

【Year eleven!】

【You finally broke through to the Immortal Realm Late Stage.】

【You were overjoyed. Breaking through to the Immortal Realm Late Stage meant you were one step closer to the Earth Immortal Realm, and at the same time, it meant your strength had improved further.】

【With a joyous expression, you stepped out of the wooden house and went outside.】

【However, the moment you stepped out of the wooden house, you saw everyone gathered outside, their faces filled with worry.】

【Hearing the movement, everyone turned to look at you.】

【“You really broke through!”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji looked at you and said directly.】

【Seeing this, everyone congratulated you on your Breakthrough in Realm.】

【Although smiles appeared on their faces, you could tell these smiles were forced. At this moment, a bad premonition welled up in your heart.】

【“Senior Sister Zi You still hasn’t returned?”】

【Gu Xinyue shook her head.】

【“Senior Sister has returned, but…”】

【As she spoke, Gu Xinyue’s eyes began to well up, and her voice became somewhat choked.】

【“But what?”】

【Seeing Gu Xinyue’s expression, you knew something must have happened to Zi You.】

【At this moment, Fang Jingchun spoke up for Gu Xinyue.】

【“Little Junior Brother, Senior Sister Zi You was injured, severely wounded by Eerie Creature.”】

【Fang Jingchun told you that not long ago, Zi You, who had been away for six years, finally returned, but she came back with severe injuries.】

【Fang Jingchun told you that shortly after Zi You returned, she fell into a coma due to her severe injuries.】

【“How are her injuries?”】

【You anxiously looked at Fang Jingchun, asking about Zi You’s injuries and whether her life was in danger.】

【“Don’t worry, Little Junior Brother. After our treatment, Senior Sister is out of danger and should wake up soon.”】

【Upon hearing this news, you immediately breathed a sigh of relief.】

【At the same time, you looked towards Zi You’s wooden house, very curious about where Zi You had gone and why she had suffered such severe injuries.】

【And so, all of you, except Xuanyuan Tianji, guarded Zi You’s wooden house day and night, quietly awaiting her awakening.】

【Six months later!】

【Zi You finally woke up, as all of you had waited.】

【The first thing Zi You did after waking up was to ask to see you.】

【Seeing Zi You’s pale face, your heart ached.】

【You walked up to Zi You, crouched down slightly, and softly whispered in her ear, asking what had happened.】

【Zi You’s lips moved slightly, and with a faint voice, she recounted her experiences of these past years into your ear.】

【Zi You told you that she had traveled westward as you instructed and had seen the Black Sea you mentioned.】

【“The Black Sea?”】

【“Senior Sister, you actually went there?”】

【You truly hadn't expected Zi You to go to the Black Sea.】

【If you were to say which of the four directions you had visited was the most anomalous, then without a doubt, it was the Black Sea.】

【The danger of the Black Sea was an invisible threat, unseen and intangible. You didn't know what kind of terrifying existence was hidden deep within the Black Sea, and the unknown was often the most terrifying.】

【Zi You nodded gently.】

【“Little Junior Brother, I walked and walked along the edge of the Black Sea. I wanted to see if I could go around it and see what was beyond.”】

【No wonder!】

【Hearing Zi You say this, you finally understood why she had been gone for six years.】

【You had considered this method yourself, but after walking for a month, you had given up.】

【Next, Zi You told you that she had walked along the Black Sea for about a year and a half, and finally saw the edge of the Black Sea.】

【Zi You told you that at the edge of the Black Sea was a large canyon, and passing through the canyon should reveal what was beyond the Black Sea.】

【Zi You told you that after seeing the great canyon, she immediately turned back.】

【“On my way back, I was attacked by Eerie Creature. Those Eerie Creature were at least Earth Immortal Realm, and I couldn't defeat them at all. I could only continuously use the Great Void Art to escape.”】

【Zi You told you that it was fortunate those Eerie Creature didn't possess space Divine Ability, otherwise she wouldn't have made it back.】

【However, even though she returned, Zi You was severely injured.】

【Hearing this, you felt something was amiss.】

【After the Immortal Realm, the gap between each major Realm far exceeded that of the Realms below the Immortal Realm.】

【Zi You, who had just broken through to the Immortal Realm, was actually able to escape from this group of Eerie Creature. Although the Great Void Art helped, it was still somewhat abnormal.】

【Suddenly, you seemed to realize something, and your expression instantly became extremely grim.】

【“What’s wrong, Little Junior Brother?”】

【Zi You looked at you with a puzzled expression after seeing your face.】

【With a solemn expression, you told Zi You that the group of Eerie Creature had very likely followed her and arrived near the Heavenly Mystery Bagua Formation.】

【Boom!】

【The next second, a loud bang was heard, and the Heavenly Mystery Bagua Formation instantly disintegrated.】
