The Legend of the Immortals Prequel: Wilderness Journey
Ten Thousand Swords in One laughed and said, "Senior Brother, you are being modest. However, you should also be mindful. In the future, I will definitely work hard on my cultivation, but you are in charge of many affairs in the sect. It would be quite embarrassing if we were to compete and you lost to me, a one-armed man. Wouldn't that be a laughingstock? Hahaha..."
Dao Xuan shot him a glare and replied irritably, "Only you would make such jokes at a time like this."
Ten Thousand Swords in One smiled without saying anything. Dao Xuan then huffed and said, "Don't worry. As long as we both strive in our cultivation, even if I have many responsibilities, as long as you're here, I will never slack off or lose to you."
Ten Thousand Swords in One slapped the table, stood up, and declared passionately, "That's the spirit! Senior Brother, let us work together to make the Azure Cloud Sect prosperous and become the foremost righteous sect in the world. How about that?"
Dao Xuan took a deep breath, seemingly stirred by Ten Thousand Swords in One's words. He stood up, waved his sleeve, and said earnestly, "Why not? With our talents working side by side, I don't believe there is anyone or any sect that can surpass our Azure Cloud Sect. I declare today that the title of the foremost righteous sect will surely belong to our Azure Cloud Sect!"
Ten Thousand Swords in One laughed heartily and extended his hand. Dao Xuan looked at him, and they exchanged smiles before slapping their palms together with a loud clap.
Ten Thousand Swords in One then casually walked to the window and looked outside. He saw that the courtyard was bathed in bright spring light with green leaves all around. The gentle spring breeze softly brushed against his face, making him feel completely at ease. Compared to those days in Wilderness, this feeling was truly like a different world.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath before turning to Dao Xuan and said, "Senior Brother, I've rested for quite some time since returning. Master has been in seclusion at Qiu Wangyu, and I haven't been able to visit him. Now that my injuries are almost healed, it’s time for me to pay my respects to Master. What about you?"
The smile on Dao Xuan's face suddenly froze.
**************
Dazhu Peak is covered with bamboo all over the mountainside.
Whenever the clear weather arrives and the mountain breeze sweeps over the peak, one can see the lush greenery all around, with countless Azure Bamboos swaying in layers, resembling the waves of the sea rising and falling. It is truly a breathtaking sight in the world, further enhanced by the white mist in the mountains that resembles a light veil, making it seem like a fairyland.
This is the famous "Bamboo Waves" scenery, which is also one of the most renowned spots among the Azure Cloud Six Sceneries. The Azure Cloud Sect and Dazhu Peak lineage have lived on this peak for generations.
Tian Buyi hails from the Dazhu Peak lineage. During his past days of cultivation, whether in the Azure Cloud Sect or at Dazhu Peak, he was always just an ordinary disciple who kept a low profile. However, ever since he returned from Wilderness Journey, he felt that his life had changed.
Perhaps the ordinary disciples on Dazhu Peak had not noticed any changes yet, as they were still unaware of Wilderness Journey. But his master, Zheng Tong, the head of the Dazhu Peak lineage, undoubtedly understood this matter very well. After Tian Buyi and others returned and explained their experiences and outcomes from this journey, Zheng Tong almost overnight began to view Tian Buyi in a new light.
With his master's favor and care, even though Tian Buyi returned covered in wounds, he was still young. Although he had many injuries, none were particularly severe or life-threatening. Moreover, with the numerous spiritual herbs and elixirs bestowed by Zheng Tong, Tian Buyi's body healed quickly, and before long he could walk freely again. It is believed that in a short time, he would be able to fully recover his cultivation level or even advance further. As Zheng Tong privately remarked, this chubby fellow had gained enlightenment in both spirit and cultivation after his trials in the Wilderness. The future prosperity of Dazhu Peak's legacy might very well rest upon him.
On this fine day, Tian Buyi lazily stayed in his room at Dazhu Peak, gazing at an old crooked tree in the courtyard lost in thought. He felt some concern for several fellow disciples who had returned with him, especially Wan Shixiong, who had sustained the worst injuries that day. After returning, he was taken by Daoxuan Shixiong to Tongfeng; Tian Buyi wondered how he was doing now.
As he pondered this, his thoughts suddenly drifted away. It had been quite some time since returning to Azure Cloud Mountain; due to his injuries, he hadn’t left Dazhu Peak and hadn’t seen anyone outside of his fellow disciples. He couldn’t help but wonder… how were his other friends?
She… should be doing well, right?
A beautiful and gentle face flashed through Tian Buyi's mind uncontrollably. He seemed to see again that night before leaving Azure Cloud Mountain for Wilderness Journey on Rainbow Bridge under the moonlight; Su Ru’s gaze was as gentle and flowing as water.
Would she be even more beautiful now?
I followed Wan Shixiong into the wilderness and accomplished so much; although most of the credit surely belongs to Wan Shixiong, I really did give it my all. Su Shimei… should look at me… with slightly different eyes now?
As Tian Buyi thought about this, he found himself smiling foolishly alone, his expression filled with joy and a hint of hopeful anticipation. He didn’t even notice that from afar in the courtyard outside, there was a commotion coming from Serene Hall, followed by exclamations of surprise and laughter mixed with playful scolding.
After a while, footsteps approached from a distance and reached outside Tian Fatty's yard, followed by a crisp knock on the door.
Tian Buyi jolted awake, still feeling reluctant to leave his dreams. He thought it was one of his close fellow disciples coming over, so he called out with a hint of annoyance, "Who is it? I'm still sleeping, don't bother me!"
There was a moment of silence outside, then a pleasant voice hummed and said, "Still sleeping at this hour? No wonder you're so fat!"
Tian Buyi was instantly stunned, as if struck by lightning, standing there in shock. After a moment, he exclaimed "Ah!" and hurriedly rushed over to pull open the door.
With a creak, the door swung open.
At that moment, the spring breeze blew gently, and the sunlight poured down, illuminating the beautiful girl standing outside the door as if she were surrounded by a dazzling halo. Her hair fluttered slightly, brushing against her snow-white cheeks. Her bright eyes sparkled with a hint of laughter, making her seem like the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Tian Buyi felt his heart tremble. He widened his eyes as this scene imprinted itself in his mind like a painting, deeply etched in his heart. For many years to come, he would never be able to escape it or forget it.
That gentle gaze after a long separation.
