The Rise of the Sect: I am the most persistent person in the world of immortal cultivation

Above the cold pond, the sword shadow behind Yan Qingying became increasingly solid.

The sword body flows like green waves, sometimes turning into thousands of tiny ice crystals, and sometimes reuniting into a giant sword that reaches the sky.

She sat cross-legged under the giant sword, the aura around her rising steadily, and the sharp sword intent surged like a tide, and every fluctuation caused the void to tremble.

Ye Yang stood quietly on the shore with a deep gaze.

At this moment, he could feel that Yan Qingying's breakthrough had reached a critical moment.

The Dharma image has taken initial shape, and what is needed now is to guide the true spirit back to its place.

Once she succeeds, she will be a true Dharmadhatu and will enter a completely new realm.

Suddenly, the sword mark between Yan Qingying's eyebrows suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and wisps of sword energy burst out from her body, circling up like a dragon.

Then, that special sword shadow trembled, and the air froze inch by inch wherever the sword pointed, and a winding ice path condensed out of thin air.

"The sword will take shape, and the Dharma becomes true!"

Yan Qingying closed her eyes, her mind immersed in the understanding of swordsmanship.

There was silence.

At this moment, only the sound of swords echoed between heaven and earth.

Her consciousness gradually merged with the shadow of the Dharmakāya sword, and every wisp of sword energy moved as she wished.

"The sword is not a dead object. It can go wherever the mind goes."

Yan Qingying understood more deeply in her heart. She raised her fingertips slightly, and the sword shadow behind her suddenly split into thousands of fine sword lights, pouring down like a rainstorm.

Where the sword light fell, the surface of the cold pond froze instantly, and complex sword patterns emerged under the ice, like a naturally formed formation.

Ye Yang nodded slightly.

"Imprinting the void with sword intent, I actually touched a trace of the sword domain space realm. It is indeed extraordinary."

At this moment, Yan Qingying suddenly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be cold stars twinkling in her eyes.

She gave a light shout, and the sword shadow suddenly shrank, turning into a three-foot green blade that floated above her palm.

The sword was as clear as ice, with a faint blue glow. Even though the sword tip had not moved, it already had the power to cut through the void.

"Dharma form, condense!"

With a clear shout, the sword shadow completely merged with her.

In an instant, Yan Qingying's aura surged, and a vast pressure swept in all directions. The ancient pines and rocks around the cold pond were all covered with a layer of frost.

Even the falling snowflakes froze in mid-air.

Dharma Realm, accomplished!
Yan Qingying let out a long sigh, her eyes filled with joy.

The next moment, she waved her hand lightly, and the sword energy lingering at her fingertips was more than ten times more condensed than before. With a thought, it seemed that she could carve a sword mark in the void.

Yan Qingying slowly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be thousands of sword shadows flowing in her pupils, which eventually turned into a clear spring.

The small ice crystal swords around the cold pond fell one after another, and turned into specks of light and dissipated the moment they touched the water.

Yan Qingying floated down from midair, her toes lightly touching the surface of the pond, creating ripples. She gathered her aura and bowed deeply to Ye Yang on the shore.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ye, for your protection. If you were not here to guard me, Qingying would not be able to break through this realm without distraction."

Ye Yang raised his hand to support her, and with a gentle force, Yan Qingying was lifted up.

His gaze fell on the sword shadow looming behind Yan Qingying, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

"Junior sister, there is no need to be polite. It is rare that you can use the sword to condense the Dharma image and walk your own path. This sword shadow is a combination of reality and illusion, which conforms to the principle of yin and yang. It seems that you have a deep understanding not only of cultivation, but also of life."

"Congratulations, Junior Sister, for entering the realm of Dharma. From now on, my Feitian Sect has one more Dharma Master."

When Yan Qingying heard this, a trace of fluctuation appeared in her eyes.

She gently stroked the sword shadow behind her, feeling the power contained in it, her eyes full of gratitude.

"If it weren't for my senior brother's guidance over the years and his protection here, Qingying would never have achieved what she has today."

"The path of cultivation ultimately depends on yourself. You were able to blend the Ten Thousand Demons Mixed World Method with the Way of the Sword, creating a Dharma image that is unique to you. This level of understanding is unmatched by ordinary people."

Ye Yang waved his hand, his eyes fell on the sword shadow behind her, and suddenly asked.

"This Dharma image is the result of your many years of practice. Does it have a name?"

Yan Qingying pondered for a moment and said softly.

"My character is more hard than soft. This sword is a combination of the real and the fake. When it is soft, it is like water. It should be used to overcome the hard with the soft. This is the first volume. So I will call it 'Hanqiong'."

"Hanqiong...what a good name."

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand, and a sharp sword energy condensed at his fingertips.

As soon as the sword energy appeared, the air around it made a slight tearing sound, as if even the space could not withstand its sharpness.

Yan Qingying's pupils shrank slightly. She could feel the terrifying power contained in this sword energy. It was a kind of terror that could cut off everything and tear apart the world.

"Brother, this is..."

Ye Yang smiled approvingly, then waved his sleeves and a jade slip appeared out of thin air.

"You have just entered the realm of Dharma, and you still need a matching sword technique to stabilize your realm. This is the outline of the "Sky-Splitting Sword Technique". Although it is not a complete inheritance, it is enough to help you make further progress."

Yan Qingying's pupils shrank slightly.

She naturally knew the power of the "Splitting Sky Sword Art". Not only was it the inherited technique of the Splitting Sky Sword Sect, but it was also the secret of ancient swordsmanship and was very famous on the Taoist magic power list.

Even if it is just a general outline, it is a priceless treasure.

She took the jade slip with both hands, and the moment her fingertips touched it, a ray of sharp sword intent rushed straight into her sea of ​​consciousness, shocking her mind.

"Brother, this..."

Ye Yang said calmly.

"Since you follow the path of swordsmanship, this item is just right for you. But you must remember that although sword techniques are powerful, the path of cultivation ultimately lies within yourself. Just don't be controlled by the sword during your lifetime of cultivation, but control the sword."

"Is this a Taoist sword technique?"

Her voice trembled slightly and she looked at Ye Yang in disbelief.

Taoism is the highest level of spiritual practice. Among the many sects in Yalongling, only a few have this method.

This item is the sect's treasure even in Feitian Sect.

Ordinary disciples have no chance to see it.

This Sky-Splitting Sword Technique is clearly a complete Taoist inheritance, so one can imagine how precious it is.

Ye Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his robes rustling in the cold wind. "Yes. This sword technique has nine levels. If you practice it to perfection, you can split the sky with your sword. However, you need to have a strong sword heart and a strong physique to practice this technique, otherwise you will be easily attacked by the sword energy."

Yan Qingying tightly grasped the jade slip, her knuckles turning white from the force. She took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement, and said solemnly: "Brother, I will never forget your kindness."

Ye Yang waved his hand: "For the sake of the sect, it should be so. Now that the demons are attacking, the situation is imminent. How many difficulties will there be in the future, it is hard to say."

"In a few days, I will lead people to the star field to explore the spiritual potential. Now that you have achieved the Dharma image, Feitianmen will need your care in the future."

Yan Qingying nodded heavily, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Brother, rest assured. Qingying will live up to your trust."

"Okay, in that case you can watch it."

As he spoke, Ye Yang raised his hand and drew a line in the air. A sword energy appeared out of thin air and split the snowflakes falling in the cold pond into two.

The tiny snowflakes did not melt under the reflection of the sword light, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror, and they were actually cut in two directly.

"Look carefully, this is the first move of the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique - 'Split the Clouds'."

Ye Yang moved very slowly, as if he was deliberately letting Yan Qingying see every detail.

Wherever his fingertips passed, faint sword marks were left in the air that lingered for a long time.

Yan Qingying was concentrating, not blinking.

She could feel the mystery contained in this move, an extreme sharpness that could cut through space.

"I will never regret when I draw my sword, and I will fight against the heavens."

Ye Yang's voice echoed by the cold pond.

"The essence of the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique lies in the word 'splitting'. It requires the determination to move forward and cut through everything."

He demonstrated it three times in a row, with slight changes each time, showing different variations of the sword moves.

Yan Qingying seemed to be thinking about something, and unconsciously imitated Ye Yang's actions.

A ray of sword energy also condensed at her fingertips. Although it was far less condensed than Ye Yang's, it already had a hint of the charm of splitting the sky.

"When practicing this technique, you must not rush it, you must proceed step by step. Every time you break through a level, you must consolidate your foundation before continuing."

"Qingying will remember Senior Brother's teachings."

Ye Yang looked at the gradually darkening sky in the distance and said softly, "Let's stop here today. You have just broken through the Dharma Realm, and you need time to stabilize your realm. Please keep the outline of this sword technique. If you have any questions, you can always ask me."

Yan Qingying bowed deeply again: "Brother, I will never forget your kindness."

Ye Yang nodded, his figure gradually faded, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated at the edge of the cold pond.

After Ye Yang left, Yan Qingying stood alone by the cold pond, tightly holding the jade slip that recorded the Sky-Splitting Sword Art in her hand. She looked in the direction where Ye Yang disappeared, her eyes full of gratitude and respect.

"Brother, rest assured. Qingying will not let you down."

Ye Yang smiled slightly and looked up at the darkening sky.

"You should prepare yourself. When this busy period is over, the sect will hold a Dharma Image Ceremony for you. This will be a good opportunity to wash away the bad luck brought by the demons. All forces will come by then, so you should prepare yourself well."

A grand ceremony will be held for every new Dharma Real Person, which not only demonstrates the strength of the sect, but also establishes the Real Person’s status within the sect.

"Qingying understands."

As he finished speaking, his figure gradually faded and disappeared like a wisp of breeze.

After seeing Ye Yang leave, Yan Qingying stood alone in the wind and snow beside the cold pond, the jade slip in her palm as cool as ice.

She stared into the distance, sword shadows flashing in her eyes.

And this is just the beginning.

……

After seeing Yan Qingying successfully break through, Ye Yang returned to the East China Sea.

As a result, as soon as he came back, Ye Yang received a piece of news.

When Ye Yang's figure landed in the square, dusk had already enveloped the surroundings.

Master Lu rubbed the red copper compass in his hand anxiously, and his eyes lit up when he saw him.

"Ancestor Ye Dao! After I returned to the Qilin Ancient Clan, I reported the matter of the Starry Sky Giant Ship to the ancestor. The clan leaders all took it very seriously and are now waiting at the Xinghui Pavilion."

"How many are here?"

"You should prepare yourself. When this busy period is over, the sect will hold a Dharma Image Ceremony for you. This will be a good opportunity to wash away the bad luck brought by the demons. All forces will come by then, so you should prepare yourself well."

A grand ceremony will be held for every new Dharma Real Person, which not only demonstrates the strength of the sect, but also establishes the Real Person’s status within the sect.

A grand ceremony will be held for every new Dharma Real Person, which not only demonstrates the strength of the sect, but also establishes the Real Person’s status within the sect.
