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

Yuqingzi stopped talking after just one word.

At this moment, Mo Xuan's expression changed slightly, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a slight heat in her sleeves.

Her heart was shocked, but she soon seemed to understand something and her expression quickly returned to calm.

After everyone dispersed, Ye Yang was in a quiet room.

With a casual pointing of his finger, an ancient bronze lamp on the west side immediately lit up.

The wick of this ancient lamp is not ordinary cotton thread, but a piece of red sandalwood soaked in dragon's blood, which emits a faint golden glow when burned.

When the clepsydra clock struck three quarters past midnight, the light suddenly cast three shadows, which were projected onto the four screens.

"Since you are here, please take a seat. I have already prepared some fragrant tea for you."

As soon as Ye Yang finished speaking, a cup of fragrant tea appeared in front of him. The tea was filled with mist, like a fairyland, and inside was a variety of colorful camellia flowers.

Mo Xuan's figure emerged from the darkest shadow like smoke, and his pupils under the half mask suddenly contracted.

She has been practicing "Xuanying Dafa" ever since, but this is the first time she has seen someone who can reflect himself backwards through light and shadow.

At this moment in this space, there was nowhere to escape and nowhere to hide.

Obviously, this requires a very deep understanding of the laws of space.

"Mo Xuan from the Xuanying Sect, I pay my respects to the Dao Ancestor."

She knelt on one knee and saluted, with an undisguised tremor in her voice.

The eyes behind the mask twinkled like cold stars, but with a little more suspicion than usual.

Ye Yang tapped the lampstand with his fingertips, and nine golden patterns spread out on the ground, forming a soundproof barrier.

"Fellow Daoist Mo's Mysterious Shadow Technique is indeed worthy of its reputation, but the Burial Star Valley is extraordinary, so fellow Daoist must be fully prepared."

Ye Yang flicked his fingers, and the surrounding space was immediately filled with sword energy. The jade pendant in Mo Xuan's sleeve suddenly lit up.

Mo Xuan looked up suddenly.

This life-saving jade pendant has been nurtured in her dantian since she was a warrior.

At this moment, a crack actually appeared. It seemed that if the other party was willing, it would be difficult for him to escape and he would die on the spot at any time.

Mo Xuan suppressed the shock in his heart, but the jade slip that appeared on his fingertips revealed a trace of fluctuation.

"Senior, the Star Devouring Mist can erode a person's magic power. I only have the 'Xuan Yin Star Body' to observe the east, west, south and north. However, the Buried Star Valley is full of dangers, and I am not sure I can escape unscathed."

Before she finished her words, she suddenly fell silent and drank a cup of tea poured by Ye Yang. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. The taste of this tea was a little beyond her imagination.

Drinking it now, it actually caused her magic power to increase.

You have to know that with her current level of cultivation, any increase in her cultivation would be extremely difficult.

It is said that this Taoist master was good at making tea when he was young. Now it seems that he is indeed extraordinary.

At this time, Ye Yang spoke again.

"I have a deal that I would like to discuss with Fellow Daoist Mo."

The firelight reflected on the faces of the two people, flickering.

Ye Yang flicked his sleeves.

The next moment, three sword talismans floated in the air, the talismans burned like flames, and there were faint sounds of dragon roars and sword whistles.

"This is the sword talisman I extracted using the energy of the Taixu Red Lotus Sword."

Mo Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

"This is, Senior, you want to give this to me?"

Ye Yang did not comment, he pushed lightly with his fingertips, and the sword talisman slowly floated towards Mo Xuan.

"The Falling Star Abyss is dangerous. This item can help you escape from danger."

Mo Xuan did not take it immediately, and the corners of his lips were pursed into a straight line under the mask.

"May I ask, Senior, what is the price I need to pay?"

"Two things."

Ye Yang's eyes were as sharp as swords.

"First, you have to help me explore the connection between Tianhe Daozu and Xingguihui."

The light flickered suddenly. Mo Xuan continued to speak.

"What's the second thing?"

"If something unexpected happens during this trip..."

Ye Yang suddenly put his fingers together like a sword and drew a blood-red rune in the air.

"Help me protect Elder Mao Su of the Xinghe Sect."

Mo Xuan raised his head suddenly: "Daozu is suspicious——"

Ye Yang nodded.

"It's good for you and me to know about this matter. You have the Xuanyin Star Fighting Body and the Xuanying Great Method. I think you will be able to play a great role in the Burial Star Valley."

"Don't worry, senior. I will do my best."

A genuine smile appeared on Mo Xuan's lips.

She solemnly accepted the sword talisman, and her whole body turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the lamplight.

Buried Star Valley.

According to legend, this is the place where ancient stars fell. No grass grows there all year round. It is dark and sleepy, shrouded in a dark blue star mist.

At the mouth of the valley, the gray-blue star miasma surged like a tide, sometimes condensing into twisted human shapes, and sometimes dispersing into fireflies all over the sky.

Today, a group of people came outside the Star Burial Valley.

"The secret path to the Falling Star Abyss is extremely dangerous. The Star Devouring Mist can corrode a person's magic power. Everyone must be careful."

Among the crowd, Yu Qingzi spoke up to remind them. Ye Yang stood beside Yu Qingzi, raised his head and looked around.

All I saw was a sky full of stars in the mist.

In the distance, the branches of several dead ancient trees were twisted like claws, and crystal star crystals were exposed where the bark had peeled off, flashing cold light in the night.

"Brother, this place..."

Li Bayuan took a half step forward and lowered his voice very low, "I'm afraid it's not ordinary."

Ye Yang did not look back, his eyes still fixed on the distorted starlight in the distant valley.

"The Star Burial Valley is the place where ancient stars fell. The remaining star power in the valley can obscure divine consciousness. You must be careful."

“Once you enter the Star Burial Valley, no matter what dangers you encounter, you must calm your mind and concentrate, and don’t let your mind be disturbed.”

After saying that, he glanced at Mo Xuan, who was on a protruding rock not far away.

Mo Xuan's figure was outlined in the night like a touch of light ink.

Her half-open star-patterned mask reflected faint starlight, revealing a taut jawline.

Yu Qingzi spoke to Mo Xuan.

"I will trouble Daoist Moxuan next."

Mo Xuan nodded, and the next moment she raised her hand to form a seal. A wisp of ink-colored spiritual power burst out from her fingertips, transforming into a palm-sized black bird in the air, flapping its wings and flying into the valley.

A silver-gray mist suddenly emerged from the valley and wrapped around the black bird like a living thing.

Tiny starlight flickered in the mist, beautiful but deadly.

The black bird let out a shrill cry, and its inky body was "dissolved" at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into points of spiritual light that were swallowed by the mist.

"Star Devouring Mist" Mo Xuan retracted his hand, his voice as cold as ice, "More active than expected."

She was still a little nervous at first, but the next moment, her hand touched the Red Lotus Sword Talisman given to her by the Taoist Ancestor in her sleeve.

My restless heart finally calmed down.

"This sword master has unparalleled killing power. With a trace of his innate sword energy, I think I can escape successfully even if I encounter any danger."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment she activated the Xuanying Method.

Soon, several black shadows separated from his body and plunged into the star mist one after another.

While he was thinking, a shocking sword roar came from afar.

Turning around, I saw that in the direction of the main gate of the Burial Star Valley, the Minglu team led by Elder Mao Su of the Xinghe Sect had begun the attack.

Dozens of sword energies shot up into the sky, interweaving into a dazzling sword net in the night sky, and bombarded the restriction at the valley entrance.

The light from the explosion illuminated half of the sky like day.

However, the star mist in front of Ye Yang and others became increasingly dense.

Soon.

Mo Xuan's figure emerged from the star-devouring mist like a ghost. His clothes fluttered and a trace of solemnity flashed across his eyes beneath the mask.

She landed in front of everyone, flicked her fingertips, and a stream of inky spiritual power drew a winding path in the air.

"Three miles ahead, there is a flat area with slightly weaker Star Devouring Mist."

Her voice was low but clearly audible. "But be careful, that area is full of star crystals, it might be dangerous."

Ye Yang's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked in the direction she pointed.

Deep in the fog, there was a vaguely visible open area, the ground covered with dark blue star sand, like a pouring galaxy.

However, the star sands were not dead objects, but rose and fell slightly with the flow of the mist, as if they were breathing.

"Walk."

Ye Yang swung out a sword finger, the sword tip glowed red, and forced the approaching Star-Eating Mist back three points.

The group followed the path indicated by Mo Xuan and walked downwards along the narrow stone path on the cliff.

The stone wall was slippery and covered with fine star marks. Occasionally, star crystals protruded like thorns, flashing cold blue light.

“Watch your step.”

Mo Xuan reminded in a low voice, pointing his finger at a seemingly ordinary rock.

The surface of the stone suddenly cracked, revealing the wriggling stars inside. It turned out to be a disguised star worm!
Li Bayuan took a breath of cold air and quickly retracted his feet.

The insect was startled and instantly turned into a wisp of star mist and dissipated, but a fishy and sweet smell remained in the air, making people dizzy.

“Hold your breath!”

Ye Yang swung his sword and the Taixu Red Lotus Sword swept across the sky. Flames shot out in all directions, extremely hot, and soon burned all the toxins in the mist.

As it goes deeper.

The air around me became increasingly sticky, and every breath felt like inhaling mercury, heavy and suffocating.

Blurry phantoms began to emerge from the mist, including distorted human figures, broken magical weapons, and even their own reflections.

The star-eating mist is formed by the resentment left behind by the falling stars. It can corrode people's magic power and devour their souls.

But the ferocity of the fog before us was far beyond what was recorded.

At this moment, a crisp "click" sound suddenly came from the front -

A disciple accidentally stepped on a piece of star crystal and the ground instantly cracked into spider-web-like cracks!

"retreat!"

Ye Yang roared, and the Red Lotus Sword was completely unsheathed. Sword energy soared into the sky, covering everyone.

However, it was too late.

Thick star-eating fog as thick as pulp gushed out from the cracks in the ground. Countless star-like arms stretched out from the fog, grabbing the disciple's ankles and trying to drag him into the abyss!

Mo Xuan's figure flashed, and the Xuanying method was pushed to the extreme, turning into a black line that cut into the fog.

The red lotus sword talisman in her sleeve lit up, and the red light was like a knife, cutting off Xing Hai's arm and pulling the disciple back.

“Thank you, senior!” The disciple’s face was pale, and spots appeared on his ankles.

Ye Yang's sword continued to move, the red lotus flames burned away the surrounding fog, and he said in a cold voice: "It is not advisable to stay here for long, speed up and pass through!"

Just as he finished speaking, a muffled groan suddenly came from the end of the team.

A monk accidentally had his arm cut by a star crystal. The wound immediately turned silver-blue and spread throughout the body like a spider web.

The disciple's eyes widened, a gurgling sound came from his throat, and starlight flowed under his skin.

"Back off!"

Ye Yang made a lightning-fast move, the Red Lotus Sword came out three inches from its sheath, and a stream of scarlet sword energy accurately cut off the cultivator's arm.

The broken arm fell to the ground and shattered like glass, with flowing starlight inside.

Fortunately, Ye Yang acted in time and saved the man's life, otherwise he would have been infected by the star power and would have soon turned into star remains.

Daozu Tianhe was watching coldly from the sidelines, and suddenly said, "Daoyou Ye is quite decisive in his actions."

"Not as cruel as the ancestor." Ye Yang replied meaningfully, "Those innocent fishermen on Black Reef Island are not so lucky."

Daozu Tianhe's face darkened, and he was about to refute when Mo Xuan, who was exploring the way ahead, suddenly raised his hand and signaled him to be quiet.

"Here we are," she whispered.

Everyone stopped and the scene before them was horrifying.

A deep abyss about ten feet wide stretched ahead, with silver-grey star-eating fog rolling in it, rising and falling like the tide.

From time to time, distorted human faces emerged from the fog, roaring silently and then disappearing.

What’s even more terrifying is that there are countless white bones floating above the abyss. They are the remains of monks who were swallowed by the Star-Eating Mist.

Keeping the posture at the moment of death, it is forever frozen in the mist like a specimen.

"This is the Falling Star Abyss. Such a thick star-devouring mist."

Mo Xuan's voice trembled.

Ye Yang felt a burning sensation coming from the Red Lotus Sword at his waist. It was the sword's instinctive reaction when it sensed danger.

He took a deep breath. At this time, Yu Qingzi took out a jade slip, then slowly spread it out and spoke.

"My fellow Taoists, as shown in the diagram, the Star Devouring Mist will have a break every three hours, which lasts for about half a quarter of an hour."

He looked at everyone.

"We must cross the Falling Star Abyss within this time."

At this moment, Tianhe Daozu, who had been behind everyone, suddenly stepped forward and said, "Why wait? I have a way to avoid the fog."

As he spoke, he took out a blue bead from his sleeve and said, "This is the North Sea Mysterious Ice Bead, which can temporarily freeze the Star Devouring Mist."

Ye Yang and Mo Xuan exchanged a vigilant look. "Since Fellow Daoist Tianhe has this method, why not give it a try?"

Ye Yang said calmly.

Tianhe Daozu smiled triumphantly and threw the black ice bead into the abyss. The bead drew an arc in the air and suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light.

When the Star Devouring Mist came into contact with the blue light, it was indeed frozen for a moment.

Tianhe Daozu jumped out first.

Ye Yang suddenly reached out to stop Li Bayuan who was about to catch up, and said, "Wait!"

Li Bayuan looked up, and only then discovered that the surface of the "frozen" star-eating fog in front of him suddenly began to ripple, and the star corpses in the fog all turned their heads.

The empty eye sockets "looked" towards Tianhe Daozu.

However, Tianhe Daozu's black ice bead did not freeze the mist at all, but was feeding it!
At this time, Tianhe Daozu's whereabouts were unknown.

the other side.

At the main entrance of the Star Burial Valley, sword energy is everywhere and the galaxy is like a waterfall.

Elder Maoxiu holds the "North Star Staff" in his hand. The seven stars on the staff light up one by one, forming the shape of the Big Dipper in the night sky.

Behind him, thirty-six disciples of the Xinghe Sect formed the "Xingxuan Sword Formation".

The sword energy poured out like the Milky Way, forcibly splitting a passage through the star-eating fog that filled the valley entrance.

"Elder, the altar of the Star Track Society is three miles ahead!"

A disciple shouted loudly, and the compass needle in his hand spun wildly.
"The star power fluctuations are extremely violent!"

Elder Maosu’s white brows were tightly furrowed.

Logically speaking, for such an important stronghold, the Star Track Association should not have such weak defense.

The star staff in his hand suddenly trembled, and the seventh star of the Big Dipper "Yaoguang" dimmed without any warning. This was a very bad sign.

"stop!"

The old Taoist suddenly raised his hand and slammed the star staff heavily to the ground.

The rubble within a ten-foot radius floated in the air at the same time, forming a simple star map.

"This is Greedy Wolf devouring the Moon, and Mars guarding the Heart."

"It's a trick! Everyone retreat three hundred steps!"

Before he could finish his words, spider-web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the ground.

Faint blue starlight seeped out from the ground, and the floating gravel was instantly dyed into star debris, and actually shot towards the people of the Xinghe Sect!

Mao Su shouted, and the Star Staff drew a perfect circle, "Protect the stars in the sky!"

The moment the dazzling starry curtain unfolded, a familiar voice suddenly rang out: "Don't panic, fellow Taoist, I'm here to help you!"

Taoist Ancestor Tianhe came from the sky, and with the wave of his whisk, the debris of the stars fell down one after another.

"Fellow Daoist Tianhe, you have arrived just in time. Please lend me a hand."

"Fellow Taoist, don't worry."

Taoist Tianhe responded with a smile, but his figure was strangely close to Mao Su.

"I will definitely not let these people from the Star Track Society have an easy time. I brought this with me on purpose."

He suddenly slapped the jade pendant at his waist, and a galaxy-like streak of light swept out.

Mao Su was caught off guard and hurriedly used the Star Staff to block it. The Star Staff suddenly shone with light, emitting the light of the Big Dipper. But in the next moment, the Milky Way streak unexpectedly turned halfway and sucked three Xinghe Sect disciples into it!
Without even a scream, the disciples turned into three crystal star skeleton statues.

"Tianhe! You——"

The hair and beard of the Maoxiu elder stood out, and his star staff burst out with dazzling silver light. (End of this chapter)
