Sword Maniac Yang Feng, Journey to Azure Cloud
If any powerful cultivators from the Central Continent were here, they would surely recognize this old man.
Sword Madman Yang Feng who has been missing for tens of thousands of years!
A supreme master, whose swordsmanship is unparalleled!
He was passionate about swordsmanship throughout his life, and was so obsessed with it that he often went mad with passion, earning him the nickname "Sword Maniac."
After breaking through to the Venerable Realm, he became a force to be reckoned with in the Central Domain.
But for some reason, from that point onward, we haven't heard a single word about him.
Below in the void, Yang Feng opened his cloudy eyes and examined his current situation.
His spiritual power was exhausted, and his lifespan was almost over.
Even his most cherished sword, the Life and Death Sword of Life and Death, broke.
"Am I still in the Central Continent?"
"No, we must escape to other major regions as soon as possible."
Sword Madman Yang Feng struggled to his feet and surveyed his surroundings before speaking.
However, he was filled with despair. The Five Realms were so vast, where should he go?
They're all those damned Myriad Images Emperor Clan!
Twenty thousand years ago, he originally had a very successful and powerful Lineage, the Central Continent Yang Family, but he offended the members of the Myriad Images Emperor Clan because of one thing.
That beast sent men to wipe out his Lineage, exterminating them all! He was only able to escape because he was protected by the powerful members of his Lineage.
He then spent ten thousand years diligently practicing swordsmanship and frantically seeking opportunities to improve his cultivation.
Finally, those who persevere will be rewarded by Heaven.
Over ten thousand years, he cultivated to the Supreme Realm, reaching the fifth realm of swordsmanship, the realm of Sword Heart Clarity.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Myriad Images Great Emperor had gone to the Turbulent Star Region, he attacked the Myriad Images Emperor Clan alone with his sword. That battle caused the heavens and earth to collapse and the sun and moon to fall.
After a long and fierce battle, three supreme giants were killed.
However, the Grand Elder of the Wanxiang Lineage unleashed an Imperial Artifact, and he was ultimately defeated and imprisoned in the Divine Punishment Ancient Tower for a full ten thousand years.
"Everyone says I am Sword Maniac, but who knows the hardships I have endured?"
"If time could be turned back, and misfortune would not have befallen us, then we might as well not practice this sword."
Yang Feng said with emotion, taking the Life and Death Sword from his back.
The sword may be destroyed, but the spirit of the sword in my heart will never die.
"Because of you, my Lineage was destroyed."
"Yet it was because of you that I was able to take my revenge."
Ten thousand years is too long; the world has changed drastically, and things are no longer the same.
"I never expected that after ten thousand years, the Mu Family would risk offending the Myriad Images Emperor Clan to come to my aid in this way."
"If the Mu Family ever faces difficulties in the future, I will help you even at the cost of my own life."
"Perhaps... maybe I won't have a future..."
"Well!"
He finished Nan Nan.
Yang Feng sighed.
Looking into the distance with a sense of confusion, I don't know where to go or what to do.
The middle-aged man's appearance had been transformed into that of an old and disheveled figure due to the torment he had endured for millennia and the burning of his lifespan just now.
His lifespan was nearing its end, and his spiritual power was dwindling.
Just then, a voice came from the void.
Yang Feng immediately became alert, holding the broken sword and looking into the void.
"Sword Venerable Yang, how have you been?"
That voice? It sounds so familiar!
Could it be Brother Mu?
Just as he was pondering, a man's figure descended from the void.
The middle-aged man had an imposing presence, with long, dark hair and sharp eyes. Standing next to Yang Feng, he seemed quite out of place.
"It really is you, Brother Mu!"
Yang Feng stepped forward excitedly and put away the broken sword in his hand.
"Brother Mu, it's been a long time."
"It's been ten thousand years, and they've tormented you like this. Back in the day, you..."
"The supreme master of swordsmanship, what glory!"
Mu Changkong didn't finish his sentence because he knew what had happened to Yang Feng, and if it were him, he would also do everything in his power to take revenge.
Twenty thousand years ago, the two met in a secret realm. Yang Feng saved his life, and he later saved Yang Feng's life in the same way when they fought the demon tiger. The two became life-and-death friends.
Over ten thousand years, the two, with their exceptional talent and strong perseverance, both broke through to the Supreme Realm.
However, Yang Feng did not inform him and went to fight the Myriad Images Emperor Clan alone. When he later learned that his friend had been suppressed in the Divine Punishment Ancient Tower, he was also helpless.
The Mu Family is no longer the powerful Mu Family it once was. Ten thousand years ago, after the sudden death of their ancestor Water Immortal Empress, and their friend, the Black Emperor, the Mu Family began its decline.
As a result, the Mu Family is now completely unable to offend the powerful Wanxiang Myriad Images Emperor Clan.
"Thank you for saving me, Brother Mu. But will this implicate your Mu Family...?" Yang Feng said with shame.
If it weren't for the Mu Family's rescue, he would have suffered endless torment before dying in the ancient tower.
"It's alright. I instructed the clan's experts to do it very discreetly. The blame for breaking the tower to save people will not fall on my Mu Family."
"Even if the Myriad Manifestations Myriad Images Emperor Clan discovers this, they wouldn't dare to easily take action against my Mu Family," Mu Changkong said.
Now he is the head of the Mu Family, a peak supreme being, and holds the clan's imperial artifact. Anyone who wants to harm the Mu Family will have to pay a price.
"Brother Yang, you can no longer stay in the Central Domain."
"This is too dangerous."
"I recommend you go to a place where the power is in no way inferior to that of the Myriad Images Emperor Clan."
"As long as you can join them, you can focus on recovering and waiting for your revenge."
Mu Changkong said solemnly.
If the Myriad Images Emperor Clan learns of this, they will definitely cause a huge uproar in the Central Domain to find their friend. It would be safer for them to seek refuge there.
"Oh? Brother Mu, please tell me quickly, what kind of force is it?"
"If it's not in the Central Domain, could there be other forces in the other four regions that are not afraid of the Myriad Images Emperor Clan?!"
In an instant, hope ignited in the eyes of Sword Madman Yang Feng.
What about the imperial family? Give them tens of thousands of years, and we will surely eradicate them!
"That is the Azure Cloud Emperor Sect of the Eastern Domain!"
"The ancient Imperial Sect, which has been passed down for tens of millions of years, has always been in seclusion and has only recently emerged into the world."
Seeing the shocked look in his friend's eyes, Mu Changkong told him what had happened during this time.
The Azure Cloud Emperor Sect first swept across the Eastern Domain, then suppressed the Central Domain, subdued the Demon Race in the south, defeated the demon emperor in the north, and subdued the Dragon Clan. Now, its reputation is widespread and its power shakes the five regions.
"Two Great Emperors who have surpassed the high-level!"
"Just those who are clearly the Supreme Expert occupy the top two and top three positions on the power rankings!"
Sword Maniac was shocked; this news was too shocking!
There is such a powerful sect in the Eastern Domain!
"Yes, and tomorrow is the day when the Imperial Sect will open its mountain again, so it would be better to go there as soon as possible."
"I'll accompany you on this journey," Mu Changkong said after a moment's thought upon seeing his friend's miserable state.
Given my friend's current situation, joining Azure Cloud Sect would be difficult.
He can lend a hand then, even if it comes at a price. It's worth it for a friend he risked his life for 20,000 years ago.
If his friend hadn't shielded him from that sword strike back then, he wouldn't be the Mu Family patriarch, Changkong Supreme, who commands respect throughout the Central Domain.
"Brother Mu, I, Yang Feng, will forever remember this kindness."
The Sword Maniac expressed his gratitude.
A fierce anger reignited in his heart.
Ascend to the Azure Cloud Sect, and cultivate my Life and Death Sword!
To cover all things, and to repay the kindness of my Mu Family once more.
"Haha, we brothers don't talk about these things."
"Let's go."
Mu Changkong laughed heartily, and the Half-Step Great Dao Power surged forth, carrying his friend Sword Madman Yang Feng, as they soared into the sky.
They traveled Eastern Domain through the night.
That night, the sky was clear and the stars were few.
The Azure Cloud Sect was completely silent.
Azure Cloud Immortal City, however, was bustling with activity.
