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

Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

Han Yu suddenly realized that her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

He had thought the greatest dangers in the Starry Sky Land were star beasts and the harsh environment, but he never expected that the first thing he would encounter was an ambush by other cultivators.

"It seems that the Gu God Sect is going to focus its main force on the Ziyuan Star Region."

Ye Yang and Gu Xuan exchanged a glance. The Gu God Sect was not to be underestimated. It was located deep in the Southern Frontier and was one of the oldest and most mysterious sects in the Southern Frontier. It was famous for its Gu techniques and poison techniques.

His disciples live deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, surrounded by poisonous insects and miasma, pursuing the bizarre path of human-poison unity and the ability to refine all things.

This sect operates in secrecy, with its influence almost spreading throughout the southern border regions. Although they rarely appear in public, once they strike, they often kill without leaving a trace, making them impossible to guard against.

Gu Xuan was the first to break the silence.

"Immediately establish a defensive camp around the Thunderclap Ferry. Li family head, you lead the men to set up the Five Elements Restriction; Zhang family head, you are responsible for guarding the surrounding area; as for Ba Yuan..."

"Take three disciples to check on the Starhorn Pegasus herd and see if they have also been cursed."

"As ordered!"

Everyone quickly cupped their hands in greeting, but their hearts sank.

Just then, Ye Yang suddenly spoke up and tossed over a jade talisman that shimmered with starlight.

"Take this."

"Crush it immediately if you encounter danger."

After everyone had gone to carry out their orders, Ye Yang stood alone, gazing intently at the distant horizon.

He flipped his palm, and the crushed remains of the Gu worm floated up, slowly rotating in the starlight.

"Since you attacked first, don't blame me for being ruthless." Ye Yang of the Gu God Sect muttered to himself, "Since you made the first move, don't blame me for being ruthless."

With a flick of his finger, the remnants of the Gu worm transformed into a streak of blood-red light that shot into the sky and vanished in the blink of an eye.

This is a tracking secret technique from the "Zhou Tian Xing Qiao Ning Yuan Jue". As long as the other party is still in the Zi Yuan Star Land, they cannot escape the lock of this wisp of energy.

Meanwhile, in a valley a thousand miles away from the Ziyuan camp.

A figure shrouded in a blood-red cloak suddenly began to cough violently.

"What a Ye Yang!"

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gave a few cold laughs.

"This person actually managed to turn against me using Gu worms; truly worthy of being called the Dao Ancestor of Refining Void."

The figure beneath the blood-red cloak slowly straightened up, revealing a face covered in eerie patterns.

His eyes were long and narrow like snakes, with unnaturally dark red pupils.

"Second Elder, are you alright?"

Several disciples, also dressed in blood-red robes, rushed forward to help him, but he waved them off.

"It doesn't matter."

The Blood Gu Taoist's voice was hoarse, like countless insects crawling.

He opened his palm, and a starlight flickered in the center of his palm like a leech, which was the tracking mark left by Ye Yang.

Blood Gu Master snorted coldly, opened his mouth and spat out a golden Gu worm. The Gu worm swallowed the starlight in one gulp and then exploded.

"You dare to show off your mere tracking skills in front of my Gu God Sect?"

Despite this, Blood Gu Master's eyes grew increasingly gloomy.

He looked up at the sky above Ziyuan Star Land, where the dreamlike purple-gold clouds seemed particularly dazzling to him at that moment.

"Elder, the Flying Heaven Sect is very powerful, should we..." a disciple asked cautiously.

"Is it what?" Blood Gu Master suddenly turned his head, his eyes flashing with blood-red light.

"Should we back down? Should we hand over this Purple Palace Star Land without a second thought?"

The disciple was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly and dared not speak again.

Blood Gu Master took a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent surging within him.

He was well aware that the Flying Heaven Sect was currently at its zenith, and that the master of both swords and sabers had even broken through to the Void Refinement stage, making his strength unfathomable.

But the value of the Purple Palace Star Land is enough to drive any sect crazy.

"Although the Flying Heaven Sect is powerful, it has only been around for a short time. Currently, the sect's strength depends entirely on Ye Yang. Apart from him, there is not even a Nascent Soul Daoist."

"As long as we can hold off Ye Yang, dealing with the others won't be difficult."

"Give me the order."

The Blood Gu Daoist suddenly spoke, his voice icy cold.

"Immediately contact the Ten Thousand Poison Cave and the Hundred Poisons Sect, and tell them that my Gu God Sect is willing to share information about the Purple Palace Star Land with them."

"Elder, this..."

One of his trusted disciples looked surprised.

"The Ten Thousand Poisons Cave has a long-standing feud with us, and the Hundred Poisons Sect even more so."

"madness!"

The Blood Gu Daoist interrupted sharply. "The Purple Palace Starfield is vast and boundless, and the Flying Heaven Sect has a core area designated by the Dao Alliance. How can my Gu God Sect alone contend with the Flying Heaven Sect?"

"First, leverage their influence to unite with other sects and force the Flying Heaven Sect to concede, then proceed with our plans gradually."

The disciples looked at each other, not daring to say anything more.

Blood Gu Master took out a blood-red jade slip from his robes and gently stroked it.

“Fellow Daoist,” he murmured, “do you think that just because you’re at the Void Refinement Realm you can run rampant? My Gu God Sect has a history of more than ten thousand years; its foundation is beyond your imagination.”

"Pass down the order to immediately establish a stronghold in the 'Rotting Bone Swamp,' three thousand miles to the southwest. The environment there is harsh, and the Flying Heaven Sect will not easily venture there, making it the perfect place for my Gu God Sect to unleash its power."

"In addition, send out 'Hidden Wing Gu' to monitor the Flying Heaven Sect's every move. Remember, don't alert them."

The disciples obeyed and left, while the Blood Gu Daoist stood alone, gazing at the distant horizon.

The outline of the Thunderous Crossing Boat could be faintly seen there, standing out prominently against the purple-gold sky.

"Flying Gate," he murmured to himself.

“This Purple Enclosure Star is not something you can control.”

the other side.

Ye Yang stood in the void, looking down at the high ground below, which was filled with starlight.

The terrain here is elevated, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the only entrance faces a starlit lake, making it a natural defensive stronghold.

"That's it."

With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Yang unleashed seventy-two beams of starlight from his body, which landed precisely on various parts of the high ground, forming a giant star pattern.

"Set up the formation!"

At his command, the disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect immediately sprang into action.

Li Qingtian led the Li family cultivators to take out the array flags they had prepared in advance and planted them one by one according to the star positions.

The Zhang family cultivators manipulated earth-based magic to reshape the surrounding rocks into a three-zhang-high wall, while the Gongsun family disciples searched for mineral veins, marked them one by one, and began to develop them.

Meanwhile, the rogue cultivators recruited by the Flying Heaven Sect were also busy, taking out their most treasured talismans and carving defensive runes on the wall.

Han Yu was carrying a piece of star-patterned black iron ore when he suddenly heard a hissing sound behind him.

Turning around, they saw Sect Leader Gu Xuan walking through the void, followed by a giant python a hundred feet long.

The python had three ferocious heads, radiating an immense and powerful aura.

"It's a three-headed Sky-Devouring Python!"

One of the disciples exclaimed in surprise.

"This is the guardian spirit beast of my sect. It is said that many years ago it was an elder in human form, but later it cultivated a special technique and transformed from human form into a physical body!"

The enormous three-headed python, resembling a dragon or a serpent, slowly coiled and swam to the center of the high ground, where its three heads simultaneously spewed poisonous mist, demonic wind, and poisonous fire.

Wherever the wind, fog, and fire passed, all the weeds and thorns withered away.

Even the hard rocks were corroded and pitted, and in no time, a small mountain was turned into powder, revealing a vast plain.

"What an impressive clearing technique!"

Han Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.

As the poisonous fog dissipated, Gu Xuan took out a brocade pouch from his sleeve, shook it gently, and countless golden seeds rained down.

The seeds took root and sprouted immediately upon contact with the soil, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Yang-patterned Spirit Rice?"

Han Yu recognized the spiritual plant.

This spiritual plant is not considered rare; even ordinary low-level cultivators can often eat it.

However, this spiritual plant has one major advantage: it has extremely low requirements for soil and external spiritual energy.

It can survive anywhere and even change the soil.

This alone shows that the Flying Heaven Sect intends to build the Purple Forbidden Spirit Land as a foundation for a thousand years.

After the spirit rice was planted, Gu Xuan took out a gourd-sized magic artifact, threw it into the air, and spat out countless streams of spiritual rain and mist.

After the rain and fog dissipated, the entire vast starry sky became even more ethereal.

Before long, amidst the soil and dust, the spirit rice began to grow wildly, reaching more than half a foot in length in the blink of an eye.

Just then, Gu Xuan took out a handful of vine seeds that shimmered with starlight.

After these seeds landed, they miraculously clung to the newly built stone wall as if they were alive.

Nine small holes quickly grew on the vine, and it began to rhythmically absorb and release star power.

"Nine Apertures Star Vine."

Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction.

"With this, not only can a natural barrier be formed, but it can also continuously absorb star power to nourish the camp."

In just half a day, the once barren highland has been completely transformed.
