73: Escape into the endless sea!

【 You briefly explain to Fang Jingchun and the others what happened after the Fusion of the Great Void Immortal Sword outside the Sword Pavilion. 】

【 Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyue cannot help but gasp. 】

【 " I never expected that the Immortal Fate everyone pursues would turn out to be a lie fabricated by the Guichong Clan!" 】

【 You tell them that neither Qingzhou nor Youzhou is safe to stay in anymore. 】

【 Gu Xinyue looks at you in confusion, asking why you cannot continue to stay here. 】

【 You sigh deeply at this. 】

【 " My original body has been subjected to Possession by the Weird Insects. Now, he is fully aware of our every situation in Qingzhou and Youzhou; staying here is too dangerous." 】

【 As the calmest among them, Fang Jingchun speaks up. 】

【 " I think Little Junior Brother is right. Time is running out, and we must act decisively." 】

【 In the end, following Fang Jingchun's suggestion, you split into two groups. 】

【 You take Zhou Lingxi from Youzhou toward the Central Continent, while Gu Xinyue and Fang Jingchun go to Youzhou first to determine the current situation of the Sword Pavilion. 】

【 They will check if Lin Tian is still alive, then go to the Blood Demon Secret Realm to bring Ye Chuxue and the severely injured Xia Qiange along to the Central Continent. 】

【 After arriving at the Central Continent, you decide to meet at a village near the Barren Deathland. 】

【 After leaving the Qin Kingdom, you do not immediately take Zhou Lingxi to the Central Continent; instead, you head toward the Wanmo Sect. 】

【 You intend to harvest the Qi and blood of the Wanmo Sect and the Fenglei Sect one last time before leaving Qingzhou. 】

【 A month later, you and Zhou Lingxi rush all the way toward the border of Qingzhou. 】

【 During this month, Zhou Lingxi has seen a completely different side of you, which makes her feel a hint of unfamiliarity. 】

【 However, she is also clear that those you killed were all Weird Insects. Through her Immortal Eyes, she can see that your Cultivation Technique is different. 】

【 It is just that, for the time being, she is not quite used to it. 】

【 A few days later, when you arrive at the border crossing to the Central Continent, you discover that it has already been placed under control. 】

【 Seeing that the people taking over this place are from the Jun Family, a look of slight shock appears on your face. 】

【 Not much time has passed since you wiped out the Wanmo Sect and the Fenglei Sect, yet the Jun Family has already sensed the abnormality and begun to take action. 】

【 You ponder for a long time, thinking that perhaps because you had already wiped out a sect in Qingzhou years ago, the people of the Jun Family have become more vigilant. 】

【 You take Zhou Lingxi and blend into a group of others, attempting to slip past. 】

【 You are gambling, gambling that the members of the Jun Family will not discover you. 】

【 You have no way back now; returning to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to hide is no longer realistic. 】

【 After your original body was subjected to Possession, the Guichong Old Ancestor can also open the bronze gate; that place is no longer safe for you. 】

【 You and Zhou Lingxi soon begin to undergo inspection by the members of the Jun Family. 】

【 During this time, you are tense, staring at the expressions of the Jun Family members around you every single moment. 】

【 Although you have absorbed the Qi and blood of both the Wanmo Sect and the Fenglei Sect, because you have not had time to refine it, you still have not achieved a Breakthrough to the Early Stage of the Refining Void Realm. 】

【 Suddenly, you see the Jun Family members inspecting you exchange glances with one another. 】

【 Seeing this, your heart immediately senses that something is wrong. 】

【 The next moment, you pull Zhou Lingxi along, unleash the Great Void Art to instantly pass through the checkpoint, and run toward the road leading to the Central Continent. 】

【 " Catch them!" 】

【 Almost the instant you unleash the Great Void Art, the surrounding Jun Family members swarm toward you. 】

【 However, fortunately, you unleashed the Great Void Art in advance, directly dodging the attack from a group of Refining Void experts. 】

【 You take Zhou Lingxi and run desperately toward the Central Continent. 】

【 However, because there is the Endless Sea between Qingzhou and the Central Continent, even if you use the Great Void Art with all your might, it will take three months to reach the Central Continent. 】

【 I do not know if you can make it to the Central Continent, but you have no way back now; you can only charge forward blindly. 】

【 You had originally intended to blend into someone else's group to go to the Central Continent, but you do not know why your identities were exposed. 】

【 The next second, a figure blocks your path. 】

【 " Ant! You certainly can run!" 】

【 " However... I am very curious, how did a piece of trash like you who hasn't even reached the Refining Void Realm manage to kill Jun Mo?" 】

【 Hearing this, you suddenly realize what happened. 】

【 You were wondering why your identities were suddenly exposed just now; it turns out that when you killed Jun Mo in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm back then, you might have been tainted with his aura. 】

【 At this moment, you look at the Jun Family Body Integration Stage Weird Insect blocking your path, then look back at the Jun Family Refining Void team about to catch up to you. 】

【 You fall into deep despair. 】

【 " Brother Su, what should we do now?" 】

【 At this moment, a rare look of panic appears on Zhou Lingxi's face. 】

【 After hearing Zhou Lingxi's words, your eyes turn ruthless as you look at the Endless Sea on both sides of the passage, and an idea immediately forms in your mind. 】

【 You turn your head to look at Zhou Lingxi and speak gently. 】

【 " Lingxi! Hold onto me tightly and close your eyes!" 】

【 Upon hearing your words, Zhou Lingxi is slightly stunned, then she hugs your body tightly and buries her head in your chest. 】

【 " If Heaven wants me dead, I refuse to believe in such nonsense!" 】

【 As soon as you finish speaking, you unleash the Great Void Art, rush out of the passage, and plunge into the Endless Sea. 】

【 Watching your reckless behavior, the people of the Jun Family briefly show a trace of shock on their faces, followed by deep disdain. 】

【 " A mere ant, yet you dare to dream of surviving in the Endless Sea!" 】

【 " Hmph! Overestimating your own capabilities!" 】

【 Inside the Endless Sea, the moment you enter, you lose all sense of direction. 】

【 At the same time, fierce winds constantly attack your body. 】

【 After a few breaths, there is not a single intact spot left on your body, and blood stains your entire being. 】

【 You know that you have absolutely no way back now; even if there were a way back, you would not be able to find the path to return. 】

【 Just like that, you continuously use the Great Void Art to shuttle endlessly across the Endless Sea. 】

【 Gradually, your consciousness begins to blur, and your injuries become increasingly severe. 】

【 You know that you cannot close your eyes at this moment. 】

【 Once you close your eyes, the Weird Insects within your body will immediately subject you to Possession. 】

【 Hum— 】

【 After unleashing the Great Void Art once more, you suddenly feel all the fierce winds around you disappear. 】

【 You land on a beach with Zhou Lingxi. 】

【 You tell Zhou Lingxi to act as your Protector, and you use your last ounce of strength to begin refining the Qi and blood within your body. 】

【 There is no Secret Realm here, but fortunately you have cultivated the Devouring Heaven Magic Skill; as long as you have Qi and blood, you can continuously use it to Cultivate and recover from your injuries. 】

【 Having entered a state of closed-door cultivation, you have no idea what is happening in the outside world; you have entrusted your life to Zhou Lingxi. 】

【 " Yo! So many years have passed, and finally, a newcomer has arrived?" 】
