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

A short while later, the Taoist Master Haitian was the first to open his eyes.

He made a hand seal with his single arm, and the twelve fragments of bone nails that had exploded earlier immediately floated in front of him.

The next moment, the bone fragments reassembled into a long, white sword.

"The killing methods of that old demon of lightning tribulation have actually made me understand a lot."

When the sword was completed, his aura surged, and all his injuries were completely healed.

The Ice Fairy stood quietly on the ice crystal lotus platform, with nine ice soul needles swirling around her.

She stared at the blood-red ice crystals that had formed on the tip of the needle.

"Even extreme cold can be transformed into gentleness."

As he realized this, the ice needles suddenly softened like silk, weaving into a net in the air, bearing a striking resemblance to the old demon's blood soul silk.

The medicine basket of the Immortal Granny Qingnang also flew up automatically, and countless rare medicinal herbs formed a strange array in the air.

"I have been trapped at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for two hundred years, and today I will take advantage of this opportunity."

She made a hand seal and actually refined the old demon's remaining demonic energy into a blood-red pill, which she then swallowed.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound rang out, as if breaking some kind of constraint.

The hunched back of the Immortal Granny of the Green Bag straightened instantly, her white hair turned black, and the medicinal fragrance around her condensed into a tangible blue glow.

Ye Yang was unaware of the status of the others.

Now all his attention is focused on himself.

Ye Yang sat cross-legged on the ground, and all 365 star apertures on his body lit up at the same time, as dazzling as stars.

Swish!
A Star Soul Lamp flew out from behind him and quickly hovered above his head.

The Big Dipper in the lamplight slowly rotated, scattering starlight that enveloped him.

"Zhou Tian Xing Qiao Ning Yuan Technique..."

Ye Yang silently recited the incantation, and the spiritual power within his body surged like a river, flowing through the star apertures and finally converging in his dantian.

"The Refinement of Emptiness Realm is a further breakthrough based on the Primordial Spirit Dao Realm..."

Ye Yang closed his eyes and looked inward. In his dantian, spiritual energy surged, and faint phantom images of stars flickered.

"The way the Thunder Tribulation Demon Ancestor fought just now made me realize one thing: true power does not lie in brute force, but in the control of the 'Dao' and the absolute authority over this space."

Ye Yang seemed to have thought of something and frowned.

He recalled every move of the Thunder Tribulation Demon, whether it was the powerful Blood Soul Silk, the Heaven-Reaching Demonic Pattern, or the Spatial Thunder Tribulation.

These are all the ultimate applications of this space by the Thunder Tribulation Demon Clan.

"Congeal!"

Ye Yang let out a low shout, and his internal star apertures began to operate wildly, with spiritual energy gathering like a vortex.

He shuddered, and his aura surged dramatically!

"boom!"

Soon after, a vast stellar power erupted from his body, causing even the space inside the Xuan Tian Starship to tremble.

"Master Ye is about to break through!"

Everyone looked sideways.

Ye Yang was surrounded by dazzling starlight, and his aura was rising steadily, showing faint signs of breaking through to the Void Refinement stage!
"Just one more step..."

Ye Yang took a deep breath, suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shone brightly.

He reached into his storage pouch at his waist and patted it. A hexagonal star core flew out and hovered three feet in front of him.

This star core is crystal clear, with patterns like the Milky Way flowing across its surface, and inside it seems that countless stars are being born and dying in a cycle.

"rise!"

Ye Yang pointed his sword, and the storage bag once again poured out spirit stones as large as mountains.

These spiritual stones piled up in mid-air to form a small mountain, each one radiating a rich spiritual energy.

If an ordinary cultivator were here, they would probably be astonished.
There are a staggering 100,000 of these spirit stones!
Moreover, there are quite a few high-grade spirit stones among them, one of which is worth a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"burst!"

With a soft shout from Ye Yang, 100,000 spirit stones exploded simultaneously.

The violent spiritual energy instantly formed a visible cyan storm that engulfed Ye Yang.

Sensing the surge of spiritual energy, the Star Soul Lamp's flame suddenly swelled to three zhang, transforming into a light curtain that firmly locked the spiritual energy within a three-zhang radius around Ye Yang.

"Zhou Tian Xing Qiao, swallow!"

The next moment, all 365 acupoints on Ye Yang's body opened simultaneously, like 365 greedy little mouths, frantically devouring the pure spiritual energy.

"Not enough"

Ye Yang gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the suspended extraterrestrial core.

The moment he got his hands on the Star Core, the veins in his entire right arm lit up with a silver-blue light, as if a galaxy was flowing through his blood.

"melt!"

With a loud shout from Ye Yang, the star core was forcibly pressed into the Tanzhong acupoint on his chest.

In an instant, Ye Yang's body shone brightly with starlight, and he transformed into a human-shaped star.

The excruciating pain of the star core entering his body contorted his face, but his starry eyes shone even brighter.

"Crack!"

A clear cracking sound came from inside the body.

Ye Yang looked inward and saw that the primordial spirit infant in his dantian had now completely transformed into a star.

The 365 light spots around the body correspond perfectly with the external star apertures.

Most astonishingly, the primordial spirit figure was holding the extraterrestrial core in its hands.

A mysterious connection has been established between the two.

"So that's how it is. The Refining Void Realm requires merging the primordial spirit with the laws of heaven and earth."

Ye Yang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood.

He formed an ancient hand seal, and a vast star map appeared behind him.

In the star chart, the Big Dipper shines exceptionally brightly, corresponding precisely to the seven major orifices within his body.

"The Star Aperture has returned to its proper place; the Refinement of Emptiness is complete!"

With a final long howl, the starlight surrounding Ye Yang suddenly receded.

All the strange phenomena vanished, leaving only a seemingly ordinary figure sitting cross-legged in place.

However, if a high-level cultivator were here, they would be shocked to discover that every breath Ye Yang took resonated with the surrounding world!
The realm of refining emptiness has been achieved!

Ye Yang slowly stood up, feeling the surging power within his body.

He now seems to have become increasingly intimate with the space around him, and his every move exudes immense power.

"Congratulations to Dao Ancestor Ye on breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm!"

Not far away, several fellow Daoists clapped and laughed, expressing their congratulations.

A smile also appeared on Ye Yang's lips.

Meanwhile, outside, starlight and lightning intertwined to form a dazzling curtain of light.

Yu Qingzi's white hair danced wildly, and his Taoist robe fluttered in the wind.

The lightning and fire that enveloped his body suddenly condensed into nine lightning dragons, which hovered and roared above his head.

"Three hundred years of arduous cultivation, today we finally face the tribulation of lightning!"

The old Taoist priest looked up to the sky and roared, the thunder pattern between his brows radiating dazzling golden light.

Outside the Xuan Tian Starship, dark clouds gathered instantly, and purple tribulation lightning rolled within the clouds.

"Senior Yuqingzi is about to undergo tribulation!"

The Immortal Granny of the Green Bag exclaimed in surprise, and seven golden lotuses flew out of her medicine basket, transforming into streams of light to protect the old Taoist's vital acupoints.

Although Ye Yang's breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm was indeed astonishing.

However, Yu Qingzi's breakthrough from the Refining Void Realm to the Primordial Spirit Realm resonated with countless people.

After all, the difference between a Thunder Tribulation Daoist and a Primordial Spirit Daoist and a Refining Void Daoist is quite obvious.

In particular, everyone witnessed the power of the old demon of the lightning tribulation.

"Boom!"

When the first bolt of lightning struck, Yu Qingzi neither dodged nor avoided it, letting the lightning penetrate his body.

Amidst the thunder and fire, his hunched body gradually straightened, and his wrinkles faded at a visible speed.

The second and third bolts of tribulation lightning struck one after another, but the old Taoist priest burst into loud laughter, his voice shaking the starship.

Ye Yang observed intently and discovered that with each tribulation lightning bolt that Yu Qingzi endured, his aura became more solid.

Gradually, amidst the thunder, a seed of thunderous energy began to form within his body.

"Is this the secret of the Tribulation Realm?"

Ye Yang's mind raced as he watched Yu Qingzi's breakthrough, feeling that he had also learned a great deal.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and stared intently at Yu Qingzi, who was undergoing tribulation.

The old sect leader of the Taixu Dao Sect was bathed in purple lightning. Every bolt of tribulation lightning that struck made everyone's hearts tremble.

"The seventh one!"

Hai Tian Dao Ren gripped his newly forged bone sword tightly, his single eye flashing with fanatical light.

"Nine Tribulations of Lightning, these are the final three!" Ye Yang stood at the forefront, his eyes reflecting the lightning.

The 365 star apertures operated spontaneously, imprinting every detail of Yu Qingzi's tribulation into the depths of his consciousness.

The eighth bolt of tribulation lightning crashed down, this one a deep crimson gold, several times more powerful than the previous ones.

Yu Qingzi let out a long roar, and suddenly a phantom Crimson Sky Sword appeared in his hand, thrusting straight at the tribulation lightning.

"boom!"

The sword light collided with the thunder, unleashing a blinding burst of light.

Everyone had to squint, only to see Yu Qingzi's figure swell rapidly amidst the lightning.

His hunched body became as straight as a pine tree, and his white hair began to turn black.

"Rejuvenation!"

The Immortal Granny of the Green Bag exclaimed in surprise.

"This is a sign that I am about to achieve the Pure Yang Body of the Thunder Tribulation!"

The final bolt of lightning was slow to strike, but the dark clouds outside the starship grew thicker and thicker, with faint crimson lightning brewing within them.

Yu Qingzi looked up at the sky and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Well done! Today I'll see what this tribulation lightning can do to me!"

Before the words were finished, a blood-gold lightning bolt swooped down like a giant dragon.

Yu Qingzi neither dodged nor avoided the lightning; instead, he opened his arms and allowed it to penetrate his body.

"what!"

Amidst piercing screams, his physical body began to disintegrate, only to rapidly reform amidst the lightning.

Each time it is reconstituted, the body becomes more translucent, with faint lightning patterns flowing across the skin's surface.

"Body Refinement by Lightning Tribulation"

Finally, the lightning dissipated. Yu Qingzi stood in mid-air, radiating a chilling aura. He slowly opened his eyes, and within them flickered the light of lightning.

"It's done!"

Hai Tian Dao Ren trembled with excitement.

"A true Tribulation Realm expert!"

As a fellow cultivator at the Refinement of Void realm, only he knew what had just happened to Yu Qingzi.

This step is all the more precious.

Before the afterglow of Yu Qingzi's successful tribulation had dissipated, the Xuan Tian Starship suddenly trembled violently.

Ancient runes on the ship's surface lit up one after another, and the entire starship began to disintegrate on its own.

"not good!"

Yu Qingzi's spiritual senses, being at the Thunder Tribulation Realm, were the first to issue a warning.

"This starship is already very old, and after the recent battle and the devastation of the lightning tribulation, it is about to disintegrate. Everyone, get out of here quickly!"

Everyone leaped into the air.

at this time.

Suddenly.

Buzz!
The once enormous Xuan Tian Starship began to rapidly disintegrate in the void.

Countless fragments scattered and fell.

Just as the starship disintegrated, everyone looked around.

Only then did they discover that a dazzling Star Ruins Secret Realm was floating inside the disintegrated starship.

"That is... the real Star Ruins Secret Realm!"

Ye Yang's pupils contracted slightly.

Before he could remind them, everyone had already discovered this secret realm.

With a single wave of his arm, Hai Tian Dao Ren used his white bone sword to clear a path and charged into the crowd first.

The Ice Fairy transformed into an ice rainbow and followed closely behind.

The others also displayed their unique abilities and entered this unknown star ruins.

Ye Yang took a deep breath, the Star Soul Lamp floated above his head, and stepped into the Star Ruins.

In an instant, the sight before him made him gasp for breath.

Countless fragments of stars floated in the void, each radiating a rich stellar power.

Even more astonishing is that among these fragments float various rare and precious materials that are only recorded in ancient books.

"Meteorite Iron!"

Ye Yang immediately recognized the nearest piece of ore.

This material, which can greatly improve the quality of magical artifacts, is priceless even if it's only the size of a fingernail in the outside world, but the piece in front of us is the size of a millstone.

Just as he was about to step forward to collect it, the Evil King Blade flew out on its own, emitting an excited clanging sound.

Following the senses, one could see a small, silvery-white grass growing on a black meteorite not far away, its leaves dotted with star-like specks of light.

"Starlight Grass!"

Ye Yang flashed forward and carefully picked the spiritual herb that could enhance the power of star-type cultivation techniques.

Just as I put it into the jade box, I discovered that there were several crystals the size of rice grains embedded on the back of the meteorite.

"This is... Stardust?"

His fingers trembled slightly; this was a top-grade material for crafting spatial artifacts.

In the cultivation world, a single pill can spark a fierce competition among countless cultivators.

You have to understand that many years ago, when he was still a martial artist, he spent countless hours and effort to obtain a grain of Time Sand to forge the White Horse Blade.

And that time sand is a type of star sand.

As Ye Yang delved deeper into his exploration, he gained more and more insights.

He discovered Star Soul Jade, which can enhance divine sense; Star Silkworm Silk, which can be used to refine protective artifacts; and even a pool of Star Spirit Liquid in a meteorite crevice!
The more Ye Yang explored, the more alarmed he became.

The resources in this star-filled ruins are far more abundant than imagined.

In particular, many of them are resources that are treasures useful to martial artists and true cultivators.

If they could all be brought back to the Flying Heaven Sect, it would be enough to raise the sect's strength by several levels!
Just as he was about to go deeper, the Star Soul Lamp suddenly began to tremble violently.

Following the sensation, I flew over several meteorite belts, and then the view suddenly opened up before me.

A star core the size of a mountain peak floated in the center of the void.

Ye Yang's pupils suddenly contracted, and the scene before him made him catch his breath.

Around the massive, mountain-like core of the star, tens of thousands of fragments of meteorites floated.

Within each crack of the shattered stone shell, silvery-blue meteorite powder shimmered, forming a dazzling sea of ​​stardust in the void.

"Heaven has helped me ascend to the Heavenly Gate!"

He leaped forward and lightly touched a floating meteorite with his fingertips.

The hard stone shell shattered with a sound, revealing the flowing silver powder inside.

These powders, though seemingly light, contain astonishing stellar power, flowing slowly in the void as if they were alive.

"The purity of the meteorite powder is so high"

Ye Yang's voice trembled slightly.

Such treasures, which can greatly enhance the effectiveness of magical artifacts and the power of formations, are worth hundreds of spirit stones in the cultivation world.

And right now—it's practically inexhaustible!

However, these powders are extremely heavy and take up a lot of space; a typical storage bag can only hold about 1,800 to 2,000 kilograms.

"really."

Ye Yang's eyes flickered as he surveyed the sea of ​​star sand.

“There are countless treasures in the Star Sea. It is an undeveloped area. If we can develop it, the harvest will far exceed that of the cultivation world that has been cultivated for many years.”

However, there is too much meteorite dust here, making it almost impossible for an individual to remove it.

Only the Thunderous Ferry can carry away a sufficient quantity.

Just as he was pondering, the Star Soul Lamp suddenly began to tremble violently.

Following the senses, one could see that at the bottom of the star's core, there was a layer of crystalline meteorite essence!
These essences have condensed into crystals, each containing astonishing stellar power.

Ye Yang's heart pounded wildly; this was far more precious than ordinary meteorite powder.

If we can bring it back to the sect, it will be enough to raise the Flying Heaven Sect's protective formation by three grades!

He was about to step forward to collect it when he suddenly frowned.

In this sea of ​​star sand, the aura of the old demon of lightning tribulation still lingers faintly.

The dark red demonic energy, like a living thing, was slowly eroding the power of the stars.

"After the old demon of the lightning tribulation died, his blood and demonic energy polluted this area."

Ye Yang gritted his teeth, and the Evil King Blade was drawn from its sheath with a clang.

Where the blade flashed, the demonic energy dissipated.

Without further hesitation, he formed hand seals and set up a protective barrier around himself.

At the same time, he took out a specially made positioning talisman from the Flying Heaven Sect and firmly imprinted the coordinates of this location onto it. (End of this chapter)
