After resting for a few days, they began their journey towards the stronghold of the Azure Dragon Sect in the Empyrean Mystic Realm.
After flying for several days, they met up with the first batch of Core disciples who were also heading towards the stronghold.
Every Core disciple had been given a map of the realm, and their Core Disciple Medallions could guide them on what path to take.
So, most of the disciples knew the general direction they had to take before they arrived at the sect's stronghold.
Even though the realm was not as large as the real world, it was more than a million miles long. It was going to take them a long time before they arrived at the stronghold.
Soon, many more batches of disciples and elders from the sect crossed their path.
They continued their journey, regrouping with every Core disciple and elder they came across.
The Core elders, with cultivation levels of Fusion Immortals, should have had higher chances of survival. However, the beasts of the Azure Dragon Sect made sure to target the elders most. As a result, out of a hundred elders, only thirty had survived. While among the disciples, out of a thousand, only four hundred remained.
Now that they were part of a larger group, they felt a bit safer. They moved like an army, sending some scouts first, and then the group would move forward.
Seeing that the group had increased, Han Cai became a quiet and well-behaved boy, as before. He had no interest in attracting any unnecessary hassle.
One day, as they were moving through a forest region, they suddenly heard loud noises. They immediately became alert.
When they approached the source of the noise, they saw one of the scout elders battling multiple cultivators from the Yunchi Empire, which was allied with the White Tiger Sect.
Seeing the battle commence, other elders hurriedly went to support their comrade.
A full-scale war erupted between the Warriors of the Yunchi Empire and the Azure Dragon Sect.
The forest trembled as the Azure Sect elders and the Yunchi Empire Warriors collided with an earth-shattering force. Elders from the Azure Sect, with their Fusion Immortal cultivation, unleashed a flurry of spells that carved arcs of power in the air.
One of the elders, Elder Liu, with his advanced mastery over water-element spells, launched a series of attacks, sending waves of condensed water crashing towards the Yunchi Warriors. These waves, enhanced with spiritual power, hit with the force of a tidal wave, smashing into the enemy lines and causing havoc.
On another front, Elder Huang wielded a grand thunder hammer. Each swing summoned a surge of thunderous energy that exploded upon impact, turning the surrounding area into a field of crackling energy.
Simultaneously, Lin Qiao, another disciple, used her skill, Frost Edge, launching sharp projectiles of ice towards her opponents. These icy shards, enhanced with her spiritual power, became lethal weapons capable of piercing through the enemy's defenses.
Despite their lower numbers, the Azure Sect held their ground, employing a mix of offensive and defensive tactics to counter the Yunchi Empire. They used their knowledge of the terrain, the unique abilities of their elders, and the resourcefulness of their disciples to engage the Yunchi Empire. The war was harsh, the enemy relentless, but the Azure Sect fought on, matching the strength of the Yunchi Empire blow for blow.
The Yunchi Empire's Immortals were no less formidable. They were composed of a variety of Warriors with diverse skill sets, making them a challenging opponent.
Among their ranks was General Lu, a well-known figure in the Yunchi Empire. He wielded the skill known as Flame Fist. Each punch he threw was infused with an intense fire element, turning his fists into a blaze that incinerated everything it touched. His attack was intense and swift, often leaving the Azure Sect's elders no choice but to evade rather than counter his strikes directly.
Another powerful Warrior was Elder Feng, renowned for his Earth Manipulation technique. He could control the very ground beneath their feet, causing spikes of solid rock to erupt unexpectedly, ensnaring his opponents or disrupting their footing, turning the battlefield to his advantage.
On the frontline, the Yunchi Immortals also had Xue Li, a skilled practitioner of the Thousand Illusions Art. Her mastery allowed her to create vivid and lifelike illusions, disorienting her opponents and creating openings for her comrades to strike.
Another formidable opponent was Zhen Wei, known for his skill, the Iron Body Technique. He was able to turn his body into a fortress, capable of withstanding the strongest physical attacks. He usually charged into the enemy lines, absorbing the brunt of the Azure Sect's attacks and providing a strong shield for his Yunchi comrades.
Despite their skills and abilities, the Yunchi Empire's Warriors found themselves embroiled in a grueling war with the Azure Sect. Both sides exhibited remarkable strength and prowess, leaving no room for complacency as the war raged on.
As the battle between the Azure Dragon Sect and Yunchi Empire's Warriors persisted, the reason for the former's alliance leadership became evident. The elders and Core disciples of the Azure Dragon Sect were not merely strong in individual power, but they also possessed Heaven Grade treasures, secret weapons that could tip the scale of any battle.
Elder Liu, a renowned figure within the sect, had the Heaven Grade treasure known as the Frostbane Staff. He activated its power, causing the surrounding air temperature to plummet rapidly. The Staff released an icy aura that solidified the air into razor-sharp ice shards. These shards, under Elder Liu's control,
launched towards the Yunchi Warriors, causing severe disruptions in their ranks and forcing them to divert their attention to defense.
Disciple Zhu, known for his speed and agility, wielded the Galewind Boots. Upon activation, a gusty wind swirled around him, elevating his speed to unfathomable levels. This sudden burst of velocity allowed him to outmaneuver the Yunchi Warriors, striking at their weak points before they could react.
On the other hand, Elder Hu, the oldest among them, activated his treasure, the Lifeforge Cauldron. The Cauldron released an energy field that boosted the healing and regeneration capabilities of the Azure Sect members within its range. This support was crucial, as it allowed the Azure Sect's fighters to recover quickly from their injuries, enabling them to return to the fight with renewed vigor.
