Only Sword Immortal

At that moment, Tian Jian couldn't help but feel that this place was like a forest maze.    

In here, no matter how he walked, he would realize that the scene before him was the same as every other place he walked past.    

As a result, when he wasn't sure which spot he was going to head to, he went back to where he had come from.    

"If this goes on, I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk out of the forest during the Meteor Qualification Competition!"    

At that moment, Tian Jian knew clearly in his heart that once the time limit of half a month had passed, even if he managed to cultivate Vermillion Bird Ninth Grade, he would still lose the opportunity to participate in Heavenly Immortal City.    

"Right!"    

Tian Jian suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but shout out happily: "Mark the swords on these trees. That way, even if I were to walk back, I would know that I have already walked through this place!"    

Thus, Tian Jian chose a direction and walked straight ahead, then carved a mark on the tree he passed by with his sword.    

Initially, Tian Jian did not notice that after he had engraved the mark on the tree, but before he had gone far, the mark carved on the tree would automatically close up. It was as if nothing had engraved it before.    

Thus, after Tian Jian walked for a long time, he was still as before, unable to walk out of the great forest.    

Furthermore, he didn't find any marked trees on his way down. At one point, he even thought that he didn't need to repeat the same route anymore.    

However, after walking for a long time, he faintly felt that something was amiss.    

Immediately after, he began to suspect something, and turned around to check the trees that were engraved with markings.    

However, when he looked at them, he realized that the marks he had just made still remained on the first few trees.    

However, when he turned back to a few trees, he discovered that the marks he had carved on them had completely disappeared from the trees.    

"What's going on?"    

Tian Jian's face was filled with astonishment as he looked at the trees that had returned to their original state.    

"Could it be …" Am I really going to get lost in this forest? "    

Tian Jian didn't believe it and forced himself to increase his confidence again, walking straight towards the large forest.    

However, the trees here looked really strange. No matter how Tian Jian tried to escape, he just could not leave the forest.    

As more and more time passed, it was unknown how much time had passed before Tian Jian finally felt a sense of irritation.    

Because in this vast forest, Tian Jian was simply unable to determine the direction, and could only mechanically and repeatedly move about.    

And what was most terrifying was that even though Tian Jian had set a goal for walking, no matter how Tian Jian walked, it was as if he was strolling in a forest that was dozens of meters in radius.    

Tian Jian had already forgotten, this was the first time he raised his head to scan his surroundings. The scenery was still the same, and it was still so dark that it was hard to tell the direction.    

If it wasn't for Tian Jian's body becoming more and more tired and his mind becoming more and more and more dejected, he would have even thought that he had not moved half a step, and had been standing in his original spot.    

Tian Jian had never felt that in his entire life, he had never seriously observed a tree before. At the same time, he had never hated a tree this much.    

No matter where he looked with his eyes, they were all huge trees that reached the sky.    

Tian Jian, who had not made any progress in a long time, felt that he was about to go crazy no matter how patient he was.    

However, this kind of thing still continued to be repeated nonstop. After Tian Jian had walked for several days, he was still unable to leave this large patch of forest.    

"Sigh!"    

The more Tian Jian walked, the more he felt despair: "Am I really going to be trapped here?"    

Tian Jian closed his somewhat dry eyes, and his expression became more and more unsightly. He knew that he was completely lost within this large forest.    

If there was no one to guide him, it might be difficult for him to reach this place.    

This was a form of torture to Tian Jian, and also a test of his endurance, as well as his willpower.    

This type of test where no battles occurred, was completely a form of mental torture that caused Tian Jian to fall into despair, fall into madness, and lose himself in self-torture.    

If Tian Jian's willpower wasn't strong enough, he might really be unable to leave this large forest.    

After being lost in the forest for a few days, the branches that were left and right twisted and started to fall over each other. It was as if many ugly faces were laughing at Tian Jian's incompetence, causing Tian Jian's heart to become even more upset.    

"It can't be! Could it be that I, Tian Jian, will really be trapped to death in this big forest? "    

Tian Jian had never thought that he would die in a forest where he didn't even need to fight with any Demonic Beast.    

If he died in battle, perhaps Tian Jian would feel better. After being trapped in the forest, he wouldn't be able to accept it no matter what.    

Therefore, this slow despair caused Tian Jian to lose all hope and dreams, which was even more terrifying than being directly killed by a ferocious beast.    

This kind of mental torture would gradually consume Tian Jian's will and mind, until he completely collapsed.    

Along with the few days of no progress, the irritable feeling in Tian Jian's heart also became more and more intense.    

However, Tian Jian still endured it. He took a few deep breaths, and then, he encouraged himself. It was unknown just how many times he had silently said this in his heart.    

"Tian Jian, you cannot be broken like that, as long as your feet can still walk, you have to continue walking, even if your legs have lost their power, you have to crawl out!"    

"Senior Sister!" Just you wait, I'll definitely come back and find you! "    

When Tian Jian thought about Ji Yuling's beautiful appearance, it was as if he had found strength and comfort once again. His restless heart gradually calmed down.    

Thus, Tian Jian once again began to search for a way out.    

Along with the constant "sha sha" sounds on the ground, the sound of breaking branches could be heard from time to time.    

But as time passed, other than hearing his own footsteps, other than the trees, Tian Jian could not even see a shadow.    

Just like this, with his own self-encouragement, Tian Jian forcefully summoned his mental will. Then, under the constant wearing down of the forest, his mental state went from depressed to decadent, and then, his mental state rose back to normal.    

Such a spirit and decadence interweaved with each other, transforming in Tian Jian's heart. It was truly an extremely abnormal method, which was constantly tempering Tian Jian's spirit and will.    

If a person's will wasn't strong enough, perhaps they would have long since been tortured by this sort of abnormal mental torture. Their entire body would be covered with wounds, and they would no longer be alive.
