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

The one addressed as Elder Zhou was a yellow-faced cultivator. Upon hearing the accusation, he slapped Bai Yuan across the face, and blood immediately seeped from the corner of Bai Yuan's mouth.

"What womanly compassion! Those ants are dead, so be it! But you—"

"Hand over the sect's Dao artifact, the Water Purification Bowl, at once!"

"No!" Bai Yuan suddenly shouted.

“This water purification bowl is a relic of my master; how can I entrust it to you?”

Zhou Li's face immediately turned ashen: "You're courting death!"

He made a hand seal and pointed, and the flying sword at his waist transformed into a streak of black light, heading straight for Bai Yuan's throat.

Just then, a voice came from the square.

"Have you two had enough of your nonsense?"

"Elder Zuo!"

People in the square bowed, and soon an old man with a weathered face and a long white beard walked out of the main hall.

It seemed to be Elder Zuo. Elder Zuo's gaze was like lightning. He first glanced at Zhou Li and the others, and finally landed on Bai Yuan.

"Still causing trouble?"

Zhou Li hurriedly bowed: "Reporting to the elder, Bai Yuan has secretly kept the Pure Water Bowl and also took out sect pills without permission. This disciple is about to..."

"Enough." Elder Zuo waved his sleeve. "The Pure Water Bowl is the common property of the alliance, and Bai Yuan was indeed wrong to take it out without permission. But with demonic energy rampant now, saving people is the right thing to do."

He paused, then suddenly changed the subject.

“However, Bai Yuan, you have repeatedly violated the alliance rules, so you are punished by being sent to the ‘Cold Abyss Cave’ in the East Sea for three days of solitary contemplation.”

Bai Yuan trembled, but still bowed respectfully: "This disciple accepts the punishment."

Ye Yang observed coldly and saw through the situation. Elder Zuo seemed to be enforcing the law impartially, but in reality, he was more biased towards Elder Zhou. Moreover, in his words, he had already classified the water purification bowl as the sect's public property.

The Cold Abyss Cave in the East Sea is obviously an extremely dangerous place. Currently, the demons of the East Sea are rampant, and this person's cultivation level is average.

He had only just broken through to the Purple Mansion True Person level; three days of seclusion would probably have nearly killed him.

After Elder Zuo left, Zhou Li grinned and whispered in Bai Yuan's ear.

"Consider yourself lucky. However, the 'Mysterious Netherworld Cold Qi' in the Cold Abyss Cave is specifically effective against water-based spirits. Once you come out, let's see how you'll protect those ants!"

Bai Yuan silently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and walked silently toward the eastern mountain peak.

Just then, Bai Yuan seemed to sense something, and his body stiffened slightly. He turned around but found nothing, but the voice in his ear was undeniably real.

"Young friend, please wait."

Bai Yuan suddenly turned around and saw a strange cultivator in a blue robe standing three steps away. The man walked over quietly, but it seemed that no one in the entire Jianghai Alliance noticed his presence.

A true master.

He cautiously pressed down on the jade pendant at his waist.

"Who is the senior?"

With a flick of his finger, Ye Yang sent a pristine jade bottle, as white as mutton fat, into the other party's hand.

"I have come to offer medicine because I see that your injuries are quite serious."

Bai Yuan took the jade bottle, but did not open it immediately. Instead, he asked cautiously.
Why did you help me, senior?

"I just find you pleasing to the eye," Ye Yang chuckled.

"You protect that water bowl so much not only because it is your master's keepsake, but also because you possess a body that is pure water."

The Pure Water Body is a rare water-based spiritual body in the world. Its possessors have keen spiritual senses and can perceive the direction of water-based spiritual veins within a hundred miles. At the same time, their flesh and blood are rich in water spiritual essence, making it a superior medicinal body used by many high-level cultivators for healing.

Bai Yuan's eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty, and he was startled. He was always good at hiding his identity, and even within the sect, no one knew about him.

Who exactly is this person? How could they see through my pure water body with just one glance?

"Senior has keen insight. This disciple is indeed of the Pure Water Physique, but even Elder Zuo was unaware of this."

"You should know that once your purified water body is exposed, you will either be captured by Elder Zuo and sacrificed for blood, or be placed under house arrest by Jiang Haimeng and used as a healing tool."

Ye Yang hit the nail on the head.

Bai Yuan smiled wryly: "Senior is wise. I originally planned to leave the Jianghai Alliance after breaking through to the Golden Core stage."

"With the world in chaos today, where can one find a pure land?"

Bai Yuan remained silent for a moment, then looked up with a determined glint in his eyes.

"I have heard that Master Ye of the Flying Heaven Sect has slain demons with his sword, and the people under his rule live in peace. This disciple wishes to go and join him."

Ye Yang's heart stirred slightly, but he remained outwardly calm. "I've heard that although Ye Daozu of the Flying Heaven Sect has some fame, he's a ruthless killer with a bloodlust, and may not be as righteous as the rumors suggest."

"No!"

Bai Yuan suddenly became excited.

"Three years ago, the demon race launched a surprise attack on Yuyang City in the East Sea. It was Daozu Ye who single-handedly saved 100,000 people with a single sword strike! He also killed a demon race cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm. I was in the city at the time and witnessed it with my own eyes!"

Ye Yang did not continue speaking, but turned and walked into the depths of the ruins, his voice carried by the wind.

"Take the pill I gave you. Tonight at midnight, there is an abandoned well a hundred miles east of the Jianghai Alliance. Bring your wooden token with you. I have something to tell you."

Bai Yuan gripped the wooden plaque tightly in his hand, the broken wood grain digging painfully into his palm.

He didn't know who this suddenly appearing monk in blue robes was, nor what awaited him, but he knew clearly.

Once its own clean water source is exposed, the entire Jianghai Alliance will have nowhere to stand.

In the midst of this turmoil within the Jianghai Alliance, that figure in a blue robe might be the only glimmer of light he can grasp.

Ye Yang was standing on a broken wall of the Jianghai Alliance, looking down at the chaotic headquarters.

The steadfastness of Elder Zuo's faction, the madness of Lan Tao's old subordinates, the wavering of the abandonment faction... all of these were within his calculations.

Bai Yuan's weakness is both his flaw and his greatest strength.

He is like a blank sheet of paper, easier to mold, more grateful, and with a pure body, he is also the easiest to control.

Most importantly, Ye Yang saw a rare glimmer of humanity and compassion in him.

In a daze, he thought of an old friend.

"Unbeknownst to many, Ye Fan has been gone for four hundred years."

Ye Yang whispered, a faint sword aura forming at his fingertips.

"In that case, let's use you to reshuffle the deck."

The night was as dark as ink, and the crimson mist shimmered with an eerie purple light under the moonlight.

Bai Yuan clutched the wooden plaque in his arms and stepped over the pebbles to reach an abandoned spiritual spring.

The well was surrounded by weeds, and a layer of dark red moss covered the wellhead, reflecting his pale face from tension.

"coming."

A figure in a green robe emerged from the shadows, then flicked his finger, and a point of golden light entered the well wall. In an instant, the well water surged into a whirlpool, and an ancient jade slip burst forth from the water.

Bai Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

"This is...this is..."

"open to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan slowly opened the jade slip. The next moment, his whole body trembled violently, countless profound techniques exploded in his mind, and a vast amount of spiritual energy surged into his dantian like a tide.

In particular, the purified water within the body was attracted by the Dao technique and began to operate automatically.

"This, this is... the Heavenly River and Sky Dao Technique."

Bai Yuan staggered backward, leaning against the well and panting heavily. His eyes were filled with ecstasy and disbelief. It was said that the Heavenly River Dao Ancestor's famous technique was the supreme Dao technique in the Jianghai Alliance.

It is undoubtedly the most precious treasure of the sect. Not to mention him, even the Left Elder and Right Elder have never seen it before.

"This technique uses the waters of the three rivers as a guide, and is compatible with the geomantic veins of the Jianghai Alliance."

Ye Yang pushed the jade slip in front of the young man. The star patterns on the surface of the jade slip suddenly turned into a stream of light and entered Bai Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness through his fingertips.

"Are you willing to become the leader of the Jianghai Alliance?"

Ye Yang's voice suddenly became deep, as if boundless pressure enveloped the surroundings.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he clenched his still-hot fist.

The trampled dignity, the crushed elixirs, and the stolen cultivation resources surged before my eyes like a tide.

"Afterwards, we will quell the internal strife and regain control of the three rivers."

Bai Yuan felt his heart pounding so loudly it was deafening.

Becoming the leader of the Jianghai Alliance? This was something he wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But when he looked into Ye Yang's unfathomable eyes, he suddenly remembered how Ye Yang had calmly walked towards him from the void during the day.

However, no one in the Jianghai Alliance noticed the scene.

Perhaps, this mysterious senior really can change everything. (End of Chapter)
