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

These words shocked everyone present.

After all, breakthroughs in cultivation are related to everyone's future.

Their strong motivation to enter this starry world was, of course, to resist the invasion of the demon race.

But another important reason was to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

“It’s a really nice place.”

The group exchanged glances, and each of them saw a hint of greed in the other's eyes.

At this moment, the star pool was filled with dazzling starlight, and the faint glow flowed like a liquid galaxy. However, even through that liquid glow, one could still see the brilliant star power crystals inside.

Although they were far apart, they could still feel an indescribable vast spiritual energy emanating from the star crystal.

Ye Yang took a deep breath, and all the pores on his body opened up. Under the power of the stars, the magic power in his body actually started to circulate on its own, and there was a faint sign of a breakthrough.

To know.

He is now only one step away from the Void Refinement Realm. For someone of this level of cultivation, there are very few rare and precious treasures in the world that can cause his cultivation to weaken.

"This pool is definitely not just a simple gathering of star power; it probably also contains the essence of ancient cultivators, which is why our cultivation has begun to weaken."

"This place was originally the front line for ancient cultivators to resist the invasion of the demon race, so it is not surprising that there are remnants of cultivators' essence here."

"This Star Power Crystal Source Pool is indeed extraordinary... In that case, I'll give it a try."

Mo Xuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she flicked a star crystal with her fingertip.

Instantly, a wisp of frosty sword energy burst forth from her body, merging with the power of star crystals, transforming into ice crystal-like star power that surrounded her.

Her eyes immediately cleared, and she felt that her cultivation had improved considerably.

Mo Xuan gently touched her chest, and the frost-cold sword energy flowed uncontrollably through her fingertips.

"My sword heart is being tempered on its own."

The Lotus Fairy also clasped her hands together, and although the white lotus lamp was broken, the wick lit up on its own.

A wisp of golden Buddhist fire intertwined with starlight, she said softly.

"I sensed a power of 'Great Light' from this star power, which may be a trace of the Dao left by an ancient predecessor. If I can comprehend it, I may be able to advance further."

After she finished speaking, the Lotus Fairy was enveloped by a golden flame shaped like a white lotus.

The entire lamp transformed into golden liquid, which spread along her arm and throughout her body, eventually condensing into a golden lotus mark between her brows.

"Great Sun Golden Flame! This is the supreme flame in the legends of my Buddhist sect!"

Everyone understood that the reason why Fairy Lotus was able to ignite the Great Sun Golden Flame was because of this.

It wasn't because of the power of the star crystal, but because she unexpectedly obtained the legacy of a Buddhist monk left behind in this place.

Seeing the two's actions, the Coffin God and the others took the lead and waved their green robes, releasing streams of green mist that swirled around the star power crystals in the star pool.

A moment later, the Coffin God Child trembled as he took out a fragment of a bronze mirror and sank it into the Star Pool. The mirror surface shimmered, and soon, a corner of it was automatically repaired.

"Incredible! The essence of stars in this Star Pool can even repair ancient magical artifacts!"

What surprised him even more was the star power crystal he obtained from that star pool.

This star power crystal was as black as ink. He swallowed it, and as he absorbed it, strange demonic patterns appeared all over his face.

The bronze mirror trembled violently, shooting out a beam of clear light to suppress the demonic runes.

"Ahem. This old Taoist priest was careless; this Star Power Crystal has actually been corrupted by demonic energy."

However, judging from his appearance, he still benefited greatly.

Ye Yang glanced at the eager crowd, then stared at the seven star crystals arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper at the bottom of the pool, and said in a deep voice.

"Gentlemen, the demon race is eyeing us covetously from the outside; we cannot afford to lose our composure."

Upon hearing Ye Yang's words, the group immediately fell silent.

Faced with such a precious treasure, these people naturally had their own ideas, all wanting to seize the star power crystal for themselves.

After all, even if you can't use it all yourself, you can take it back and give it to your disciples or followers. It will be a top-notch item in the world.

Some even harbored thoughts of murder and robbery.

However, after glancing at the swords and knives in Ye Yang's hand, the slight greed that had arisen in their hearts quickly disappeared.

To make any underhanded moves in front of this Daoist patriarch, who is known for his ruthlessness and killing, is tantamount to courting death.

Ye Yang glanced at the Star Pool, which was filled with dazzling starlight. The three of them had each taken one crystal, and there were still sixteen Star Power Crystals inside.

At this moment, the sixteen star power crystals floated like stars in the liquid galaxy, emitting a heart-palpitating spiritual energy fluctuation.

"Everyone, please be patient."

Ye Yang's voice was not loud, and he lightly slashed with the Taixu Red Lotus Sword.

As if drawn by the star power in the pool, sixteen star power crystals flew out one after another and lined up in front of him.

Everyone stared at the star energy crystals, their breathing slightly rapid. Three years ago, she failed to break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, damaging her Dao foundation. These star energy crystals might help her heal her hidden injuries.

She glanced at Ye Yang out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was calm and expressionless, and for a moment she didn't know how to start the conversation.

"There are sixteen star power crystals here."

Ye Yang's gaze swept over the crowd.

"I'll take four, and each of you will take three. Do you have any objections?"

These people repeatedly said they didn't dare to accept it, and were extremely grateful to Ye Yang.

Knowing that Ye Yang's cultivation level was equal to theirs was already a sign of their own inferiority.

As for the people behind the Coffin God, they were his disciples and grand-disciples. Although they were also present, they had no say in the distribution of this treasure, neither in terms of strength nor seniority.

Therefore, they dared not speak recklessly.

"We all believe in and respect the actions of the Dao Ancestor."

"Although the treasure is precious, it is a blessing that we have been spared a life-or-death feud after cultivating for so long."

A moment later, the Coffin God spoke first.

Seeing that everyone had stopped arguing, Ye Yang immediately divided the star power crystals among themselves.

He looked up and saw that a large group of demons had already gathered outside the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Remnant Array.

Ye Yang spoke up.

"The star power here is concentrated, and there are many demons. I ask my fellow Daoists to help me hold them off for a moment. My blade is specifically designed to counter the demons. Today is the time for me to advance."

"I have just discovered that there is another teleportation array beneath this broken formation. It must be a trump card left behind by those ancient cultivators when they resisted the demons. If we make good use of it, it may not be a bad thing."

After saying that, Ye Yang made a sweeping motion in the air.

With a whoosh, the Evil King Blade flew to his front. He placed it horizontally in front of his knees, and the blade trembled slightly as it sensed the star power crystals in the Star Pool.

With a thought, Ye Yang took out the three demon crystal cores in addition to the four star power crystals, and the Evil King Blade immediately unleashed a strong devouring power.

"Buzz!"

Soon, the blade hummed, and the scarlet aura and the power of the stars intertwined, forming a red and silver cocoon around Ye Yang.

Ye Yang pointed into the air, and the four star power crystals, along with the three crystal cores, transformed into seven streams of light that surrounded the Evil King Blade.

The moment the Evil King Blade touched the three demon crystal cores, the blade trembled violently and emitted a humming sound like a dragon's roar.

Ye Yang formed hand seals, rapidly activating the Myriad Manifestations Floating Pagoda Technique, his eyes gleaming with intense light.

The next moment, he stretched out his right hand and suddenly gripped the hilt of the knife. The scarlet aura on the blade surged like a tide, crushing the three star power crystals and four crystal cores into dust.

"boom!"

The moment the overwhelming malevolent and demonic energy erupted, the entire Star Pool trembled.

The seven suspended beams of light suddenly changed their trajectory, transforming into beams of light that swirled around the Evil King Blade.

With each rotation, wisps of starlight are drawn out, wrapping around the dark red blade like silver threads.

The sharp blade shot straight into the sky, leaving white marks on the surrounding space.

Lotus Fairy opened her eyes wide.

"The Dao Ancestor is using the power of the star crystal to refine the demonic blade!"

"No. This isn't a simple refinement; it's..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Yang suddenly took out a piece of pitch-black finger bone from his pocket.

It was the Heavenly Demon Finger Bone that he obtained from the Blackwater River, which he had not allowed the Evil King Blade to absorb before, and now it was the crucial moment.

The moment the finger bone appeared, the entire Star Pool instantly boiled over, and the seven Star Power Crystals simultaneously emitted a dazzling silver light, as if they were afraid of something.

"The Heavenly Demon Finger Bone?!"

The coffin god was horrified and retreated.

"With such immense pressure from just a finger bone, this thing must have been obtained from a demon at least at the Refinement of Void or even the Tribulation of Thunder Dao Realm."

Ye Yang paid no attention to the exclamations of the crowd. He held his left hand together like a sword and drew a mysterious trajectory in the void.

White marks were immediately drawn on the finger bone.

A moment later, a wisp of solidified black demonic energy floated out from the finger bone, and soon, like a serpent, it burrowed into the blade of the Evil King's Blade.

"go with!"

The seven streams of light surrounding the Evil King Blade resonated with it in a strange way, forming a large net of star power on the blade, which firmly locked the rampaging demonic energy.
