[You looked deeply at Luo Xiaoyu before you and, for the moment, chose to believe her.]
[You began asking her why the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm had turned into its current state.]
[Luo Xiaoyu sighed and began explaining.]
[Five years ago, the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm suddenly underwent a tremendous change for unknown reasons.]
[The Spiritual Energy inside the secret realm began to turn murky, becoming similar to the Spiritual Energy of the outside world, which was suitable for the growth of Bizarre Insects.]
[Meanwhile, the formation that had always protected the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm was destroyed from within when Wan Yemo directly shattered the formation core.]
[After hearing this, you asked why Wan Yemo would destroy the grand formation.]
[Luo Xiaoyu told you that Wan Yemo was no longer the same Wan Yemo as before.]
"He was already devoured by Bizarre Insects five years ago!"
"That is why he destroyed the formations within the secret realm, causing the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm to fall completely!"
Seeing this, Su Ming's brows tightly knitted together.
"Wan Yemo was eaten by Bizarre Insects? Then how was the Spiritual Energy in the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm contaminated?"
Su Ming could not figure this out. Even if a puppet parasitized by Bizarre Insects managed to survive inside the secret realm, it should not have the capability to contaminate the realm's Spiritual Energy to such an extent.
"So..."
"There must be something I overlooked!"
The contamination of the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm occurred in the fifth year after he entered the Bronze Divine Hall.
That meant something extremely important must have happened during the three years after he first entered the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.
However, he had absolutely no idea what that event could have been.
Inside the simulator.
[After hearing Luo Xiaoyu's explanation, you realized that something must have happened during the three years after you entered the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[As for what exactly happened, you thought that perhaps only by finding Ye Chuxue could you discover the truth.]
[You looked at Luo Xiaoyu and spoke in a slightly threatening tone.]
"Come with me now and take me to find Ye Chuxue!"
[Luo Xiaoyu showed a troubled expression.]
"Su Ming, it is not that I do not want to take you there. It is that we cannot leave the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm at all now."
[Looking at the bitterness on her face, you asked why.]
[She explained that the sky above the Heavenly Abyss was now filled with elders from the three great sects.]
[They had established a competition between the three sects held every five years, using the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm as the stage to seize opportunities.]
[Although they stipulated that only disciples below the Nascent Soul stage could enter, cultivators above Nascent Soul guarded the outside.]
[The purpose of this was to prevent their disciples from being ambushed by others after they came out.]
[However, since you had killed all the disciples of the three great sects, you would certainly be captured and have your soul searched once you left.]
[After hearing the whole story, you asked Luo Xiaoyu what the highest cultivation level among the elders was.]
[Luo Xiaoyu answered without hesitation.]
"Nascent Soul Great Perfection."
[Upon hearing that the highest cultivation level was only Nascent Soul Great Perfection, the corner of your mouth could not help but curl upward.]
[For you, cultivators below the Deity Transformation stage could no longer catch you.]
[Back then, you had painstakingly cultivated the Great Void Technique precisely to escape the pursuit of Wan Yemo, who was in the Deity Transformation stage.]
[After mastering the Great Void Technique, escaping from someone only one major realm above you, such as a Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivator, posed no pressure at all.]
[You turned and told Luo Xiaoyu that you had a way to escape and only needed her to lead the way.]
[Luo Xiaoyu wondered what method you could possibly have to take her out.]
[You said nothing. In her shocked gaze, you used the Great Void Technique once within the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[In the next moment, both of you appeared at the outskirts of the secret realm.]
"This… what kind of divine ability is this? It can actually travel through space?"
[You did not explain much to Luo Xiaoyu and simply told her to lead the way.]
[After seeing that you possessed such a powerful divine ability, Luo Xiaoyu no longer hesitated and began guiding you.]
[Soon, the two of you appeared above the Heavenly Abyss.]
[When the elders and disciples of the three great sects saw someone emerge, their gazes immediately turned toward you.]
"Disciples from the Myriad Demons Sect and the Qingyun Sect?"
"Wait… why does that man look so familiar?"
[At this moment, an elder of the Wind Thunder Sect spoke to you.]
"Boy! Why are there only two of you coming out? Where are the others?"
[Upon hearing this, a sinister smile appeared on your face.]
"The others? I have already killed them all. Do not worry—before long, you will go down and accompany them as well."
"What?! Boy, you court death!"
[Hearing this, the aura of Nascent Soul Great Perfection erupted from the Wind Thunder Sect elder.]
"A mere Core Formation trash! Who gave you the courage to speak to this old man like that?!"
[In the next moment, the elder directly attacked you. You immediately used the Great Void Technique to dodge.]
[Seeing this, the elders of the three great sects' pupils shrank.]
[They had not expected that a Core Formation cultivator like you would possess such a powerful spatial divine ability.]
[At this moment, an elder of the Qingyun Sect recognized you.]
"He is a demonic cultivator! The one who brutally killed the Foundation Establishment disciples of our Qingyun Sect and your two sects more than ten years ago!"
"What?!"
[Everyone present looked at you in shock. Without hesitation, the elders of the three great sects attacked together.]
[You once again used the Great Void Technique to evade their attacks and mocked them.]
"Just wait, you three great sects. Sooner or later I will slaughter every single one of you filthy insects!"
[As your voice fell, you used the Great Void Technique repeatedly, taking Luo Xiaoyu with you as you instantly vanished from the Heavenly Abyss.]
[Only the people of the three great sects were left standing there in stunned silence.]
[One hour later, you brought Luo Xiaoyu to the Qin Kingdom.]
[After using the Great Void Technique repeatedly, you felt somewhat exhausted.]
[You deeply realized that the Great Void Technique consumed Spiritual Energy far too quickly. Even with your Core Formation Great Perfection cultivation, you could not sustain it for long.]
[You and Luo Xiaoyu arrived at the small courtyard where you had once stayed with Ye Chuxue. The place was covered in cobwebs, clearly having been abandoned for a long time.]
[After resting for a day, you set off again with Luo Xiaoyu.]
[After using the Great Void Technique continuously for around two hours each time, you were forced to stop and rest for a full day.]
[Half a month later, you arrived at the remote island Luo Xiaoyu had mentioned.]
[Just as you stepped onto the island, a voice suddenly sounded behind you.]
"Su Ming? You are still alive?"
[You turned around and discovered that it was indeed Ye Chuxue, whom you had not seen for eight years.]
[Feeling the aura of Core Formation Great Perfection emanating from her, you were clearly surprised.]
[You had not expected her cultivation speed to be no slower than yours. The Taiyin Body truly lived up to its reputation.]
[You told Ye Chuxue everything that had happened to you inside the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
[Ye Chuxue had not expected that you had entered the Bronze Divine Hall. No wonder she could never find you after she broke through.]
[You did not chat for long and quickly asked her what exactly had happened to the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm.]
"The Fallen Immortal Secret Realm… sigh…"
