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

Li Family Council Hall

"Father! This time, the Flying Heaven Sect is recruiting cultivators to go to the Starry Sky Land. Our Li family must seize this opportunity!"

Li Xuanfeng, the young master of the Li family, slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

The jade slip in his hand contained detailed information about the Starry Sky Land.

Five Elements Magnetite, Star-Patterned Black Iron Vein, Nine-Aperture Star Vine.
Any one of these would be an extremely rare existence in the Earth's surface world.

It made his breathing rapid.

Li Qingtian, the head of the Li family, stroked his beard, his gaze deep.

"Xuanfeng, are you aware of the dangers of this Starry Sky Land?"

"As far as I know, there are not only powerful star beasts there, but also possibly remnants of demonic restrictions."

"Wealth is found in danger!"

Li Xuanfeng said excitedly.

“Father, our Li family followed the Flying Sky Sect and was able to grow and thrive during the sect’s period of rapid development. Now, we still have Uncle Ba Yuan in the sect to support us.”

"But now, facing unprecedented changes in a thousand years, such as exploring the stars, if we are slow in one step, we will be slow in every step."

"If we can't gain the upper hand in gunfights, we will be limited in every way in the future."

"and"

He lowered his voice.

"I heard that the first group of cultivators to go will have priority in choosing their base. If we could occupy a small mineral vein..."

A glint flashed in Li Qingtian's eyes, and he suddenly made a decision.

"Pass down the order: all cultivators in the family above the Martial Artist stage are eligible to register! Furthermore..."

He pondered for a moment.

"Take out the family's secret 'Mystic Tortoise Heart-Protecting Mirror.' This time, I'll personally lead the team!"

Before long, several white-bearded elders carried a round, dark blue mirror with nine lifelike black tortoise reliefs on its frame as they slowly approached.

On the round mirror, each black tortoise held a bright blue pearl in its mouth.

A faint water curtain forms around the mirror.

This Xuan Turtle Heart-Protecting Mirror is a treasure artifact forged by the Li family using all their resources to suppress the meridians.

The mirror surface was taken from the plastron of the Xuan Turtle in the Yuan Shen Dao Realm of the East Sea, which was the last time Ye Daozu killed a giant turtle in the East Sea.

The Li family paid a huge price to receive this as a gift, and it was later tempered by the earth's fire for three hundred days to become the Li family's treasure for suppressing the pulse.

Li Xuanfeng was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

"Father! You've just entered the Purple Mansion Realm and haven't had time to stabilize your cultivation yet. If you activate it directly..."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Qingtian waved his hand.

"It is precisely because I am a Purple Mansion cultivator that I must go."

Li Xuanfeng gasped.

This Xuan Turtle Heart-Protecting Mirror is the Li family's last trump card for survival!

With this mirror, even if the Li family has no Purple Mansion cultivators, it doesn't matter.

However, a cultivator at the peak of martial arts cultivation, wielding this meridian-suppressing treasure, can also withstand a cultivator at the Purple Mansion level.

"Father, what if such a precious treasure were..."

That's precisely why we should bring it.

Li Qingtian put away the token, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

"What do you think the Zhang family brought? And what will the Zhu family bring? This trip to the stars is ostensibly about expanding territory, but in reality, it's a contest of the strength and resources of the various families!"

Li Qingtian sneered.

"Do you think other families would only send junior martial artists? That old fox from the Zhang family is probably already preparing to set off."

The Flying Heaven Sect's power is growing, and naturally, the number of subordinate families is also increasing.

There is cooperation, but there is also competition, as no family wants to be dragged down.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the window, and the steward shouted from outside the door.

"Patriarch! We just received news that the Third Elder of the Zhang family has taken the 'Water-Dividing Moon Fork' towards the sect's mountain gate!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingtian sneered: "Just as I thought. That old bastard even brought out his clan's most treasured artifact."

Zhang Family Residence
Inside the Zhang family's secret chamber, five figures sat around a water mirror.

The water mirror displays a detailed map of the Starry Sky Land released by the Flying Gate.

"Brother, are we really going to that Starry Sky Land? I've heard it's incredibly dangerous there; even a True Immortal could perish there!"

"The Third Elder of the Zhang family said with a worried expression, holding a jade slip in his hand, which recorded the list of cultivators who had gone missing in the Starry Sky Land in the past month.

Zhang Yue, the head of the Zhang family, sneered.

"Third Uncle, you're too conservative. Fortune favors the bold! The fact that Flying Heaven Sect dares to recruit on such a large scale means they've already established a foothold there."

"Besides, with Daozu Ye around, what is there to be afraid of?"

He pointed to an area on the water mirror that was shimmering with blue light.

"According to reliable sources, there is a vast and boundless star lake next to a star-patterned black iron ore vein here. If we could occupy it..."

“The patriarch is right.” Zhang Tian’ao, the eldest elder of the Zhang family, suddenly spoke, his withered fingers tapping on the table.

"However, we need to prepare for both possibilities."

His gaze shifted to a dark figure in the corner.

"You take the Zhang family's 'collateral disciples' ahead to that starry sky. After you have investigated the situation, report back to the family. If there are no problems, then the direct descendants will set off."

"Remember, make sure you find the best spot before everyone else arrives."

Outside Tao'an Market, there is a valley.

Thousands of independent cultivators gathered here. This place was known as "Valley of Fallen Souls".

It is a place of refuge for those independent cultivators who make a living in Tao'an Market but cannot afford the market rent and have no sect or affiliation.

"Have you heard? The Flying Heaven Sect is recruiting rogue cultivators to go to the Starry Sky Land!"

A burly man with a scarred face waved a notice in his hand, his voice hoarse.

"real or fake?"

A thin boy squeezed to the front, his eyes full of doubt.

"When did those major sects become so kind?"

"Absolutely true!"

An elderly man with white hair walked by, leaning on a cane.

“My nephew works as a handyman at Feitianmen and saw the conscription notice with his own eyes.”

"It is said that anyone who is willing to go will not only receive the protection of the Flying Heaven Gate, but will also be allocated mining rights! Under the protection of the Flying Heaven Gate, they can cultivate the land on their own and establish a family or sect."

"I can keep 50% of the profits from the next three years!"

The crowd immediately exploded.

"Fifty percent?! In the cultivation world, the laborers in those sects and mines don't even get half a percent!"

"I've been struggling in this lowly world for decades, and I haven't even managed to save up a decent spirit stone. I might as well go and try my luck in the starry sky!"

At the edge of the crowd, a one-armed monk wearing a bamboo hat listened silently, then suddenly sneered: "Foolish."

His voice was very soft, but it was heard by the boy next to him.

"Why did senior say that?"

The boy asked curiously.

The one-armed monk lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a face covered with strange patterns.

"Twenty years ago, I visited a newly discovered secret place, and I said the same thing back then."

A look of pain flashed in his eyes.

"As a result, out of three hundred people who went in, I was the only one who came out alive, and that was because I blew up this arm myself."

The boy's face turned pale upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his resolve.

"The Flying Gate's conduct over the years has been exemplary; this is our only chance!"

The one-armed cultivator stared at the boy for a long time.

"You people are too naive, you haven't experienced the wickedness of human nature."

"Remember, in unfamiliar places, the most dangerous thing may not be monsters, but the human heart."

Flying Gate, Outer Gate Square
Many disciples stood in the registration line.

Han Yu clutched her identity jade token tightly in her hand, ever since Ye Yang brought her back to the Flying Heaven Sect.

This was the first time he had ever felt so excited.

"Senior Brother Han, are you really going? I heard that star beasts roam freely there, and even Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators can perish there!"

His fellow disciple, Wang Yan, tugged at his sleeve with concern.

Han Yu smiled and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom.

"Look what this is?"

Wang Yan opened it and his eyes widened in shock: "This...this is star-patterned iron ore? You actually kept it?"

"The Dao Ancestor told me to keep it to refine magical artifacts."

A determined light shone in Han Yu's eyes.

"But I've never been willing to use it. Before I go to the Starry Sky Land this time, I plan to use it to forge a real flying sword!"

He looked up at the sky, where streaks of light were flying towards the main peak.

Those were representatives sent by various powerful families.

"I've struggled in the cultivation world for half my life, and it wasn't easy for me to finally join the Flying Heaven Sect. Now that the opportunity is right in front of me, if I don't take a chance, I'll forever remain a low-level cultivator!"

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose in the sky.

A figure in cyan flew out from the main peak and stood in mid-air.

The familiar oppressive aura caused all the cultivators to involuntarily hold their breath.

"It's Daozu Ye!" someone exclaimed.

Ye Yang looked down at the thousands of cultivators below. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he mustered his primordial spirit power and his voice was like thunder.

"All cultivators who travel to the Starry Sky Land will receive a 'Starlight Amulet'." (End of Chapter)
