46: Into the desolate dead land!

You looked at the black-clothed man in front of you, utterly baffled as to how he found you.

Logically, Chu Wudi should have only found you five years later, which was completely different from your previous simulation results.

At this moment, Gu Xinyue also sensed the black-clothed man's presence, flying out from inside the house, her expression grave as she looked at the sky.

She couldn't feel any Qi from him, which meant his cultivation was much higher than hers.

"Who are you?"

Chu Wudi ignored Gu Xinyue and instead walked gently towards your location.

Knowing his true nature, you naturally wouldn't be fooled by his superficial demeanor.

With a resolute heart, you immediately used the Great Void Art to leave the residence, then fled towards a direction at the edge of the Southern Region.

Chu Wudi stood in the courtyard, his brows slightly furrowed as he looked at the spot where you disappeared.

"Void Art?"

Before his words faded, Chu Wudi chased in the direction you had fled.

Soon after, Chu Wudi appeared in front of you. You hadn't expected that even with the full exertion of the Great Void Art, you would be caught so easily by him.

Chu Wudi looked at you and asked curiously.

"Young man, this should be our first meeting, right? From your eyes, I feel as if you know me?"

Even though there was a three-Great Realm gap between you and Chu Wudi, a glimmer of hope still flickered in your heart.

So you didn't respond to Chu Wudi, but instead took a deep breath, giving him the illusion that you wanted to explain.

The moment he relaxed his guard, you used the Great Void Art to escape.

Chu Wudi saw that you were still unwilling to give up, shook his head, and looked in the direction you disappeared.

Thus, you were pursued by Chu Wudi. In the short term, you could rely on the Great Void Art to shake him off, but in the long run, you would surely be caught.

Chu Wudi's playful voice came from behind you.

"Kid! Since you don't want to speak, I'll just have to personally search your soul!"

"I want to see just how many secrets you possess, for the Great Void Sword to have been obtained by a junior like you!"

Upon hearing these words, your heart sank sharply.

He indeed had no intention of letting you go. Fortunately, you decisively chose to stay away from Gu Xinyue and the others.

What surprised you even more was that Chu Wudi seemed to have found you based on the Great Void Sword.

Su Ming frowned as he read this.

He had just been wondering how Chu Wudi had found him, and now he had a slight clue.

The clue to him finding him might be on the Great Void Sword.

Su Ming remembered that in the previous simulation, Chu Wudi also found him for the Great Void Sword.

So now he could largely confirm that he must have been found because of the Great Void Sword.

But then another problem arose: he also had the Great Void Sword at the very beginning, but he had never encountered Chu Wudi.

The last time he encountered Chu Wudi was in the twentieth year of the simulation, and this time, the encounter with Chu Wudi happened five years earlier again.

Su Ming continuously recalled the differences in these simulations.

Soon after, he suddenly widened his eyes.

"tai xu sword fragment!"

If there had to be a difference, it was that each time he simulated, he would go to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to retrieve the broken Great Void Sword from Sword Mountain.

And each time he took a tai xu sword fragment, his Great Void Sword would grow a part, and each time it grew, the time Chu Wudi found him would be earlier.

So he now suspected that Chu Wudi must have something that could sense the Great Void Sword Qi. The stronger the Great Void Sword Qi became with each growth, the larger the range it could be sensed from.

After Su Ming understood everything, he continued to look at the simulator.

You fled all the way, and when you arrived at the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, you shouted from above the capital that there were Demonic Path cultivators.

For a moment, everyone in the capital focused their attention on you.

At the same time, a figure flew out of the Great Qian Imperial Palace, erupting with a powerful Qi, and blocked the space between you and Chu Wudi.

"A Human Race cultivator in the Early Stage of Mahayana Realm? When did the Human Race produce another Mahayana?"

Looking at the Great Qian Emperor before him, Chu Wudi frowned and spoke fiercely to you as you continued to distance yourself.

"Kid, you don't think you can escape like this, do you? Just wait, you won't get away."

As soon as he finished speaking, he began to fight with the Great Qian Emperor.

You temporarily escaped Chu Wudi's pursuit. The Great Qian Emperor, also in the Mahayana Realm, you didn't know if he could kill Chu Wudi.

You dared not be careless, continuously using the Great Void Art to distance yourself from the Great Qian Dynasty.

You dared not go back to find Gu Xinyue and the others for now. At the moment, you could only rely on yourself.

After leaving the Great Qian Dynasty, you headed north.

A month later, you arrived at the Barren Deathland.

Having used the Great Void Art at full power for a month straight, your Spiritual Qi was now exhausted, and you had no means of resistance left.

If Chu Wudi were to come looking for you at this moment, you planned to directly enter the Barren Deathland.

During these years of Cultivating in the Central Continent, you knew that the Forbidden Ground in the Central Continent was completely different from those in Qingzhou.

The Heavenly Abyss, a Forbidden Ground in Qingzhou, was only a Forbidden Ground targeting Demonic Insects, while the Forbidden Grounds in the Central Continent were true Forbidden Grounds.

Whether Human Race or Demonic Insects, almost no one who entered could come out alive.

Because it was located near the Barren Deathland, there were no Cultivation cities here, only some Mortal villages living here.

You casually entered a village to conceal yourself.

A year later, not only did you fully recover your Spiritual Qi, but your cultivation also advanced, turning misfortune into a blessing, as you Broke through to the Soul Transformation Middle Stage.

Living in Lijia Village for a full year had caused a slight change in your state of mind.

There were no conflicts of the Immortal Realm here, no worries of Demonic Insects, allowing you to experience an ordinary life in this Mortal World.

Maintaining this state, you lived in Lijia Village for another three years.

After three years of tempering, your Sword Intent finally reached the Realm of Man and Sword as One.

After Breaking through Man and Sword as One, your Realm soared to the Soul Transformation Late Stage.

The Realm of Man and Sword as One, which had troubled you for many years, unexpectedly Broke through in the Mortal World.

However, this peaceful life was soon broken again.

In the twentieth year, Chu Wudi found you again.

This time, you did not panic. These past few years had made your state of mind even stronger.

"Ant, do you know how miserable you made me five years ago?"

"Don't rush, I will definitely not let you die easily. I will extract your soul and make you suffer eternal burning in raging fire."

You sneered, directly using the Great Void Art and fleeing towards the Barren Deathland.

Chu Wudi, whose mind was clouded by hatred, completely ignored the direction you were fleeing.

"You think you can escape using the Great Void Art?"

Chu Wudi quickly caught up to you, but just as he was about to grab you, he decisively pulled back his hand.

"Ant, are you insane?"

"You actually dare to enter the Barren Deathland?"
