The Legend of the Immortals Prequel: Wilderness Journey
The five members of the Azure Cloud Sect in the Wilderness were currently fleeing recklessly along the path they had come. Ten Thousand Swords in One and Azure Pine were severely injured, while the other three had also sustained various injuries, but they were still manageable. However, all of this was worth it; during this Wilderness Journey, they had nearly accomplished all their anticipated goals and even went a step further by directly destroying the Shura Tower, which had been a secret stronghold of the Demon Cult for thousands of years. This triggered seismic activity in Demon Mountain, causing volcanic eruptions and creating chaos in this sacred ground of the Demon Cult.
Now, after suffering a great defeat at Azure Cloud Mountain and then being dealt another heavy blow at the Barbaric Sacred Hall, it was certain that the Demon Cult's vitality was severely damaged and would take at least a hundred years to recover. For the five members of the Azure Cloud Sect, the most important thing at this moment was to escape from the wilderness and return to Qingyun. As long as they could leave this place, it would mean they had nearly achieved a perfect conclusion to their mission.
Among the five, Azure Pine had lost a lot of blood, but aside from that, he had not sustained any more serious injuries. After taking a Qingyun elixir, he began to regain his strength. With some time for rest and recovery, he would be fine. In contrast, Ten Thousand Swords in One, who had saved Azure Pine, was gravely injured. He had suffered multiple severe blows, with damage to his meridians and bones. Most critically, he had lost an arm after being attacked in the Main Hall of the wilderness, which would greatly affect his future cultivation and swordsmanship.
After being rescued, Ten Thousand Swords in One quickly fell into a coma. No matter how hard Tian Buyi and others tried to save him, it was futile. This left Tian Buyi and the others, including a gradually recovering Azure Pine, feeling anxious and worried. Especially for Azure Pine, if it weren't for his own serious injuries requiring rest, he would have wanted to stay by Ten Thousand Swords in One's side constantly.
However, two days later, Ten Thousand Swords in One finally woke up from his unconscious state. By this time, they had already escaped from the Barbaric Sacred Hall and were making their way through the Barbaric Desert, desperately heading towards Azure Cloud Mountain. When Tian Buyi and the others saw that Ten Thousand Swords in One had awakened, they were overjoyed. They hurriedly took out all the elixirs they carried with them, eager to feed them all to him so that he could quickly recover.
Of course, such a thing was impossible. After regaining consciousness, Ten Thousand Swords in One chose a few elixirs to take first. His body was still very weak, but after the effects of the medicine took hold, he noticeably felt much better. He then listened to Tian Buyi and others report on their situation over the past few days. When he heard that both he and Azure Pine were severely injured and unable to fight back, he praised Tian Buyi, who had calmly led everyone in their escape while employing various strategies to mislead many pursuers from the Demon Cult.
"Tian Shidi, your composure amidst chaos is truly remarkable; you are indeed talented," he said with appreciation.
Tian Buyi scratched his head and laughed heartily, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. Receiving praise from someone like Ten Thousand Swords in One was an incredibly rare honor for every disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. Moreover, having always been ordinary within the sect, even while fleeing for their lives now brought him a sense of pride.
Meanwhile, sitting beside Ten Thousand Swords in One, Azure Pine subtly frowned and glanced at Tian Buyi, a flicker of displeasure crossing his eyes.
Next, Tian Buyi asked Ten Thousand Swords in One what they should do now. However, Ten Thousand Swords in One waved his hand and told him to continue leading everyone. He felt weak after his severe injuries and knew he might overlook some details. Since Tian Buyi had already done well before, it was best for him to keep going as he was now.
The others held immense respect for Ten Thousand Swords in One. Especially after this trip during the Wilderness Journey, they had followed him through life-and-death situations and accomplished things that previous generations had never achieved—venturing deep into the wilderness straight into the heart of the Barbaric Sacred Hall, even pulling off significant feats that shook the world. Now these four regarded this severely injured man who had lost an arm with almost divine reverence.
Tian Buyi repeatedly declined, insisting that Ten Thousand Swords in One should take charge, and he would only listen to Wan Shixiong. He was even willing to be the senior brother's mount, carrying him along the way, as long as the senior brother taught them how to proceed. However, Ten Thousand Swords in One refused to listen, and in the end, Tian Buyi had no choice but to agree. Thus, the five of them set off once more.
This escape was a whirlwind of dust and chaos, mixed with a hint of bloodshed. The Demon Sect, having suffered unprecedented humiliation and heavy losses at the Barbaric Sacred Hall, was in turmoil. Although the situation on Demon Mountain was dire and required many hands, numerous furious members of the Demon Sect were pursuing these five individuals.
Throughout their journey, although Ten Thousand Swords in One and the others tried their best to evade capture and flee desperately, they still encountered the pursuing forces of the Demon Sect. They engaged in several fierce battles along the way, staining the yellow sand with blood. However, perhaps this Wilderness Journey was truly a test of endurance; even though Ten Thousand Swords in One was severely injured and unable to fight, and Azure Pine was also half incapacitated, Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, and Shang Zhengliang grew increasingly stronger through battle. After a series of bloody fights, they managed to protect Ten Thousand Swords in One and Azure Pine as they escaped, traversing deserts and crossing oases before engaging in a fierce battle with the pursuing forces of the Demon Sect in the Sand Dance Maze.
That was their most brutal battle on the way home. The elite pursuers from the Demon Sect had all arrived. At this time, Azure Pine had not yet fully recovered, regaining only about fifty to sixty percent of his strength, while Ten Thousand Swords in One remained weak. Nevertheless, they resolutely joined the decisive battle. Utilizing the intricate Sand Walls and various bizarre creatures within the Sand Dance Maze to create disturbances, the five fought while retreating, ultimately sustaining injuries.
This bloody battle began when the pursuers arrived that morning and continued until dusk when both sides were blinded by rage. Every possible means was employed ruthlessly without mercy. The entire Sand Dance Maze was filled with sword energy and piercing cries. In the end, against all odds, the members of Azure Cloud Sect managed to break free from what seemed like an impossible situation, leaving behind a scene of blood-red sunset and countless corpses that were heart-wrenching to behold.
Tian Buyi and Zeng Shuchang were both heavily injured and staggering on their feet. Azure Pine's previously half-healed wounds were reopened during the fight, while Shang Zhengliang directly coughed up blood and fell unconscious. In the end, it took Ten Thousand Swords in One's strength to drag him out.
The five of them used the last rays of sunlight to support each other as they charged into the darkness ahead. Meanwhile, at the edge of the Sand Dance Maze, the heavily wounded members of the Demon Sect were in disarray. Among them were a few fiercely aggressive Demons who roared defiantly and attempted to pursue them. However, at that moment, a voice from atop one of the Sand Walls in the Sand Dance Maze called out to stop them.
