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

"Ancient Immortal Road?"

Ye Yang's heart was shocked. This was the first time he heard this name.

He knew that he came from a humble background and that the Feitian Sect was originally just a ruined sect. Compared with these powerful forces that had been passed down for tens of millions of years, he was weak in both vision and knowledge.

So, Ye Yang continued to speak.

"Senior, I wonder what this Ancient Immortal Road means?"

The Qilin Patriarch had a deep gaze, and with his fingertips he lightly stroked the edge of the teacup, actually outlining a starry path out of thin air.

The path was winding and the stars flickered along the way, as if it contained endless mysteries.

"Ancient Immortal Road..."

"It is an ancient starry sky road left by an ancient immortal in the infinite starry sky. It is said to run through the thirty-three heavens and connect all the heavens and worlds. Those who set foot on this road can obtain immortal fate and have a glimpse of immortality."

The temperature in the quiet room dropped suddenly, and even the flames around Qi Yan were stagnant.

Ye Yang's pupils shrank slightly. The existence of ancient immortals had long been extinct in the world of immortal cultivation for countless tens of thousands of years. Everyone thought that the word "immortal" was just a legend, but now there are still relics left in the world.

"Are you serious, Old Ancestor?"

Ye Yang's hand trembled, and the teacup cracked with a "crack". Tea dripped through his fingers, but he was completely unaware of it, and his eyes were full of shock.

If the Ancient Immortal Road were to reappear in the world, it would mean that the world of cultivation might be about to undergo unprecedented changes.

The golden pattern on the Qilin Ancestor's forehead suddenly emitted a dazzling light and condensed into an ancient star map in the air.

In the picture, seven purple stars are arranged in a spoon shape, with an illusory light band extending from the handle of the spoon, and the shadow of a broken palace floating along the light band.

"This is not a secret among some hidden ancient clans. Even among forces like the Taixu Dao Sect and the Jiutian Sect, there are records of this."

"Sixty thousand years ago, an ancestor of our clan who was at the peak of the Dao Realm followed the remains of the ancient immortal road and found half a page of the Immortal Scripture on the 'Ancient Star of Mars'."

"Immortal Scripture?!"

Qi Mo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly lost his voice, and the black jade abacus on his waist fell to the ground with a crash.

Ye Yang noticed that after the jade beads fell to the ground, they arranged themselves into hexagrams, vaguely revealing the signs of "great misfortune" and "great opportunity" coexisting.

"Ancestor, this matter involves the immortal fate of our ancient Qilin clan, is it possible..."

"It doesn't matter."

With a wave of his hand, the Qilin Patriarch suddenly shrank into a golden light and sank into Ye Yang's brow.

"The relationship between Fellow Daoist Ye and our clan is extraordinary. This is nothing. He deserves this cause and effect."

Seeing the appearance of Qilin Ancestor, a vast scene suddenly emerged in Ye Yang’s mind.

An ancient bluestone road that spans the galaxy floats in the void, with giant claw marks and sword wounds left on the road. Inside, there are several powerful immortal corpses with dim golden light sitting cross-legged.

At the end of the road, a bronze fairy gate can be vaguely seen, with the words engraved on it.

The vague Taoist pattern of "Outside the thirty-three heavens, one thought leads to immortality".

The Qilin Patriarch spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, can you sense something different?"

Ye Yang sensed it slightly and felt greatly moved.

Just now, he sensed an indescribable breath from the mysterious city gate. With just one glance, he felt his body become lighter, as if he was about to ascend to heaven.

"It's truly extraordinary."

It seems that when Ye Yang has cultivated to this level, there are few things in the world that can disturb his cultivation.

The Qilin Patriarch took out a piece of tortoise shell from his arms.

There are naturally formed star patterns on the tortoise shell.

"The stars show that clues to the Ancient Immortal Road have appeared in the East Sky Star Region!"

The voice of Qilin Patriarch trembled, "No wonder all the major sects are secretly refining starry sky magic tools..."

Ye Yang suddenly realized why the Jiutian Sect had made so many plans and spared no expense to build a teleportation array and an enclave in the ancient starry sky.

Why are these demons invading this world so aggressively?

Why did Netherworld choose to take over this world?

Why was the Tianshui Realm swallowed up by the demons?

All cultivators want to devour the spiritual energy of other worlds when the Ancient Immortal Road is opened, and then further improve their cultivation.

"The Starry Sky Ship is just the first step."

The Qilin Ancestor suddenly stood up, and nine Qilin phantoms appeared around him.

"The real test is the 'Three Tribulations of Ascension' on the Ancient Immortal Road.

"This first calamity is the physical body's transition to emptiness, and it needs to resist the Nine Netherworld Yin Wind."

"In the second calamity, the soul must be examined and the inner demon obsession must be broken."

"The third calamity: the struggle for the Dao fruit, worship of the true immortal."

Ye Yang's heart was shocked.

Worship the real immortals? Are there still living immortals on the Ancient Immortal Road?
Qi Mo suddenly counted wildly with his fingers, and blood oozed from all his orifices.

“Great disaster! Great opportunity! The hexagram shows that among those who enter the ancient starry sky domain this time, some will obtain the True Immortal inheritance, but others... will be reduced to ashes!”

Ye Yang raised his head slowly, with sword intent in his eyes reaching the sky.

"The future is a time of great change. This giant spaceship must be able to withstand the Nine Netherworld Wind, carry the heart of the seeker, and be qualified to compete in the future."

The Qilin Ancestor laughed loudly towards the sky.

"Good! Good! What a qualification to compete. It seems that Fellow Daoist Ye has already made up his mind, and has unparalleled spirit and the ambition to swallow up the sea of ​​stars. In this case, if you want to embark on the path of ancient immortals, my Qilin Ancient Clan is willing to devote all its strength to help you.

Ye Yang spoke.

"Thank you for your kindness, Old Ancestor. However, this matter is too far away. The most important thing right now is the refining of the giant spaceship. I wonder if Old Ancestor has a foolproof plan?"

The Qilin Patriarch nodded and said, "The refining of the Starry Sky Giant Ship needs to be divided into three steps: casting the ship body, engraving the formation, and nurturing the spirit of the weapon. Each step needs to be carefully designed, but the specific refining plan still requires the participation of fellow Taoists."

For the next three days, everyone stayed at home and worked on the refining plan day and night.

The quiet room is filled with various drawings and models, and sometimes people argue over a design detail.

Early morning of the fourth day.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the quiet room, the final plan was finally determined.

"The ship's hull is made of Nine Heavens Ice Iron, Deep Sea Azurite, and the power core is made of Sun Refined Gold and Moon Mysterious Jade."

Qi Yan pointed at the drawings and explained.

"The defensive formation adopts a simplified version of the ancient 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation', and the offensive formation adopts the 'Qilin Fury Flame Cannon' that is passed down from generation to generation by our clan."

Qi Mo fiddled with the black jade abacus in his hand and spoke.

"The star sand and void crystal core have arrived. We can start refining them when the time is right."

After carefully checking all the prepared materials, the Qilin Patriarch nodded with satisfaction.

"Then, there is no time to lose. We can start setting up the weapon refining formation."

After learning that a giant starry sky ship was going to be refined, the previously prepared Earth Fire Canyon had already been cleared out.

The canyon is filled with various rune formations.

Gu Xuan commanded dozens of Feitian Sect disciples to place various materials in specific positions.

The Qilin Ancestor was suspended in the air, his hands constantly making incantations and adjusting the details of the formation.

Suddenly, he turned and looked at Ye Yang.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, you have now reached the critical point of the Yuanshen Dao Realm and comprehended the power of the void. This time you need to work together with me to refine the void rune."

Ye Yang bowed.

"But it depends on the ancestor's orders."

The Qilin Patriarch laughed.

"During the incubation phase of the Starry Sky Battleship's weapon spirit, the Void Dao Pattern needs to be imprinted on the core of the ship. This step is crucial and it cannot be done without you."

"Juniors must do their best."

As night fell, the weapon refining array was finally activated.

In the entire Earth Fire Canyon, three hundred and sixty formation flags moved without wind. The refining furnace in the center was ten feet high and made entirely of red flame crystal. The pattern of a unicorn stepping on the clouds was carved on the furnace wall.

Kirin Patriarch announced.

"Tomorrow at 7:00 p.m., open the furnace when the Yang energy is at its peak."

"Everyone have a good rest tonight."

The next day, Chenshi.

Above the ancient city of Donghai, lead-gray clouds surged like a tide, dyed red-gold by the rising sun. The rosy clouds were so bright that it seemed as if a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth was about to occur.

The entire ancient city was shrouded in this strange scene.

In the center of the canyon where heat waves were rolling, a ten-foot-tall red flame crystal refining furnace stood tall. The furnace body was as red as blood, and strange patterns flowed on its surface, as if it had life.

There was a blazing fire in the furnace, with heat waves rolling, and the shadow of a Qilin could be vaguely seen galloping and roaring in the flames.

The Kirin ancestor stood in front of the stove, his white hair fluttering in the wind.

He waved his sleeves and said in a deep voice.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, the Starry Sky Ship is of great importance. The Refining Furnace alone cannot support its entire refining process. I will use the 'Qilin True Fire' to help you smelt the materials, and you need to use the 'Void Condensation Pattern' technique to carve Dao patterns when the ship is formed to stabilize the structure." "This ship is difficult to refine, but if you are not careful, you will fail. Don't be careless."

Ye Yang nodded, his eyes solemn, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Don't worry, senior. I will do my best. This giant spaceship is not only related to my personal weapon-making career, but also to the future of countless cultivators of Feitian Sect. I will do my best."

"it is good!"

The Kirin Ancestor let out a low roar, formed seals with his hands, and nine golden flames suddenly rose from his body, transforming into nine-headed Kirin phantoms, circling and dancing around the refining furnace.

Each Qilin phantom exuded a terrifying aura of oppression, and wherever it passed, the air was burned and distorted.

"Turn on the furnace!"

boom!
With a loud bang, the furnace cover was lifted, and blazing flames shot up into the sky, almost lighting up half the sky red.

The heat wave swept all around, and the nearby practitioners retreated one after another with looks of shock on their faces.

Qi Yan, Qi Shuang, Qi Mo, Master Lu and others were already prepared. Seeing this, they immediately activated their magic power and put the precious materials such as "Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron" and "Deep Sea Azurite" that they had prepared into the furnace.

"melt!"

At a command from the Kirin Ancestor, the nine-headed fire Kirin roared and rushed into the furnace. In an instant, the temperature in the furnace skyrocketed, and even the void was slightly distorted.

The entire canyon was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

Ye Yang sat cross-legged in front of the furnace with his eyes slightly closed. He probed his spiritual sense into the furnace to feel the melting state of the materials.

His mind was highly concentrated, not missing any slight changes, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The Nine Heavens Meteorite Iron was extremely hard and could not be melted by ordinary flames. However, under the calcination of the Qilin True Fire, it finally softened and turned into flowing silver molten iron.

The molten iron rolled in the furnace, flashing a strange light, as if it contained endless power.

Qi Yan clasped his hands together, controlled the flames, and slowly shaped the molten iron into a dragon skeleton prototype that was a hundred feet long.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, it's your turn!"

The Qilin Ancestor sat upright in the void and gave a low shout. Ye Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and with a point of his fingertips, countless silver patterns suddenly appeared in the void and dived into the molten iron like swimming fish.

These Dao patterns are mysterious and exude an ancient and powerful aura.

"Void condenses into patterns, solid!"

hum!
The keel trembled, silver light surged, and the originally flowing molten iron solidified in an instant, turning into a main skeleton of a giant ship with dazzling silver light. The surface was covered with mysterious patterns, faintly resonating with the void.

The dragon bone exuded a powerful pressure, as if it was a sleeping ancient giant beast.

"It's done!"

Master Lu was overjoyed and his face turned red with excitement.

"The ship's skeleton is complete, the next step is the hull!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but then became nervous again because the next process was equally challenging.

Wait until a month later.

The deep sea azurite was thrown into the furnace and turned into a turquoise liquid substance under the calcination of the Qilin True Fire.

The liquid substance exuded a cold breath, which was in sharp contrast to the high temperature in the furnace.

Qishuang waved his hands, and the ice-blue magic power turned into countless silk threads, pulling the liquid azurite so that it evenly covered the dragon bones.

His movements were graceful and skillful, and every thread of mana was extremely precise.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, carve more Dao patterns!"

Ye Yang attacked again. This time, what condensed on his fingertips was no longer silver Taoist patterns, but dark blue water runes, which were imprinted on the hull, giving it the ability to resist the turbulence of the void.

As the runes were engraved, a faint blue light appeared on the surface of the hull, as if it was covered with a mysterious veil.

At this time, the Sun's Pure Gold and the Moon's Black Jade were thrown into the furnace at the same time. The two, one yin and one yang, collided with each other, erupting into astonishing energy fluctuations.

The entire refining furnace was shaking violently, as if it would explode at any time. A powerful energy storm swept around, and everyone took out their magic weapons to resist.

"Hold on!"

The Qilin Ancestor let out a low roar, clasped his hands together, and the nine-headed flaming Qilins simultaneously spewed out true fire, forcibly suppressing the violent energy.

Veins popped out on his face, and he was obviously under tremendous pressure.

Ye Yang took a deep breath and formed seals with his hands. Wisps of void power wrapped around the Sun's Refined Gold and the Moon's Mysterious Jade, forcing the two together and slowly fusing them together.

"Congeal!"

boom!
After a while, a fist-sized purple-gold crystal core took shape and floated in the furnace, emitting vast energy fluctuations.

The crystal core was radiating light all around, as if it contained the power of the entire universe, and everyone was amazed.

"The power core is ready!"

Master Lu said excitedly, his voice trembling a little.

"Next, we just need to embed it into the hull and engrave the formation, and it will take shape!"

Everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation, and the dawn of victory seemed to be just around the corner.

ninetieth day
The main structure of the starry sky giant ship has been completed. The three-hundred-foot-long hull lies across the square, with silver and blue interwoven all over. The bow is like the head of a unicorn, and the stern is like the tail of a dragon. It is majestic and mysterious, like a moving fortress, which makes people afraid.

"Next, it's the final process, assembling the armored cabin, engraving the formation, and nurturing the weapon spirit!"

The Qilin Patriarch said in a deep voice, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

At this moment, with an order given, everyone performed their duties and began to install the cabin, lay out the formation, and debug the runes.

The entire square was bustling with activity, various magical instruments were flashing, and runes were constantly appearing.

"Qi Yan, be responsible for attacking the formation!"

"Qishhuang, be responsible for the defensive formation!"

"Qi Mo, be responsible for deducing the stability of the ship!"

Ye Yang, together with Qilin Ancestor, began the final "cultivation of the spirit of the weapon".

The birth of an artifact spirit is a major event and a long process of cultivation, even if it involves the gathering of all the resources of the ancient Qilin clan and the Feitian clan.

It was not until half a year later that the giant starry sky warship reached the final step of consecration and soul tempering!
The ancient city of Donghai is covered in silver, with snow falling like goose feathers.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, the materials used in this spaceship are extraordinary, and the birth of the weapon spirit requires great care. This process is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, not only will the weapon spirit fail to be born, but the entire ship may also be destroyed. You must be prepared."

Kirin Patriarch said, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

Ye Yang nodded, flipped his palm, and madly injected his own magic power into the hull.

"Condensation of spirit!"

A buzzing sound.

The entire starry sky ship shook violently, all the Taoist patterns on the surface of the ship lit up, and a vast spiritual wave slowly awakened.

However, at this moment, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and huge bolts of lightning descended from the sky, heading straight for the giant ship.

"Thunder Tribulation?!"

Seeing the huge thunder falling from the sky, Master Lu, Qi Yan, Qi Shuang and others all changed their expressions.

"The completion of the tool will lead to disaster. This is a sign of great misfortune!"

"Do not!"

The Kirin Patriarch laughed loudly, his white hair flying in the wind and snow. "This is a God-given opportunity! It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to temper a weapon with winter thunder!"

He suddenly turned to Ye Yang, with golden light flashing in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, winter thunder is extremely cold and just the right amount to temper the outer shell of the giant ship so that it can withstand the dark winds in the starry sky!"

"Three levels of winter thunder, one to temper the bones of the giant ship, two to refine the soul, and three to become the spirit of the ship!"

The shout of the Kirin Ancestor caused the snow within a ten-mile radius to collapse. Nine Kirin phantoms crushed the clouds, and each of their claws held a lightning-attracting talisman surrounded by purple light.

The next moment, a muffled sound like a dragon's roar suddenly came from the depths of the leaden clouds. First, a line of indigo tore through the clouds, and then thousands of lightning bolts fell from the sky, forming an inverted thunder pool above the giant ship.

Before he could finish his words, the first pillar of lightning wrapped in flames had already smashed down, like a huge rock rolling over glass, and the deep-sea azure shell on the surface of the ship was instantly covered with spider-web-like ice patterns.

"Use fire to overcome ice, and use yang to break yin!"

The Kirin Patriarch pushed out the Tai Chi diagram with his palms, and nine true fires turned into chains that entangled the lightning pillar.

"Friend Ye, use your spiritual power to protect the core of the ship!"

Ye Yang nodded, and the Evil King Sword and the Void Red Lotus Sword spun out a purple-gold vortex above his head. As the sword and knife vortexes intertwined, all of his spiritual power surged out, protecting the core of the giant starry sky ship.

The moment the two collided in the void.

Everyone saw that Ye Yang's hair was turning silver-blue at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was a sign that his body was resonating with the thunder.

scoff!

The fire thunder penetrated into his body along the vortex of the sword. Ye Yang could clearly feel the crisp sound of his bones in the lightning, but he also saw a hint of golden light seeping out from the cracks in the outer shell of the Deep Sea Azurite.

Something is being born inside the starship.

Although the cracks on the surface are breaking and healing, with each destruction and reorganization, tiny lightning patterns take root like seeds, giving birth to new opportunities.

Followed by.

The second thunderbolt came without any warning, and turned into millions of ice needles that poured down like a rainstorm.

"What a domineering thunder force. It actually transformed from the fierceness of thunder into countless ice needles in mid-air."

Ye Yang suddenly realized something and spurted out a sword energy from his mouth.

This was the first time he used the Sky-Splitting Sword Art with all his strength since he obtained it. (End of this chapter)
