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

Many vendors even caught various kinds of spirit fish from the Thousand Islands and then sold them openly in the Purple Palace Star Land.

These spirit fish are not only delicious and imbued with spiritual power, but their scales also shimmer with iridescent colors in the sunlight, making them extremely beautiful to behold.

Many monks buy them to use as food or as pets, and the business is booming.

Just when the market was bustling with activity.

In front of a brand-new stone building on the east side of the Ziyuan Camp.

The plaque for "Fenshui Si" (Water Diversion Office) was officially hung up.

Dressed in formal attire, Huo Bing Shuang, in her capacity as director, began training her disciples to manage the water veins.

"Everyone, take a good look at this watercourse map,"

Huo Bing Shuang pointed to the huge water vein map hanging on the wall and said to the disciples below the stage;

“Every node and every sluice gate of the Lingqu Canal is related to the water supply of the entire Ziyuan Star Land, and no carelessness is allowed.”

He picked up a special pen and marked several key locations on the map.

“These areas are weak points in the water system and need to be closely monitored, with at least two patrols per day.”

A disciple raised his hand and asked, "Elder, what should we do if we encounter an abnormal color in the canal water during our patrols?"

Huo Bing Shuang answered seriously.

"If any abnormal color is found in the canal water, regardless of the severity of the situation, it must be reported immediately. No action must be taken without authorization."

"The 'water quality tester' we are equipped with is used to test water quality. If the tester turns black, it means that there is negative energy invading the water, and the emergency plan must be activated immediately."

She handed the jade ruler to the disciples in the front row for them to read, but her brows furrowed slightly.

"However, the current construction of the Lingqu Canal is still inadequate, especially the underground canal in the northwest section, where the density of the star patterns on the black iron supports is insufficient."

"Last time, the Corpse Fiend Star Dragon's venom almost seeped in through there. Master said he was going to find new materials, I wonder how things are going on their end."

An older disciple chimed in.

"Rest assured, Elder. The Dao Ancestor is all-powerful and will surely find suitable materials."

"I heard the other day that the meteorite iron in the Land of Stars contains the power of stars, which may be the key to reinforcing the support structure."

Huo Bing Shuang nodded, her gaze drifting towards the Lingqu Canal outside the window.

"I hope so. This spirit canal is crucial to the foundation of the Purple Palace Star Land, and we cannot afford to make the slightest mistake."

"You all need to practice using the water level measuring rod more diligently. I will be conducting a spot check in three days. Those who fail will be punished by having to clean the silt at the bottom of the canal."

The crowd responded in unison, and the jade rulers in their hands glowed with a warm blue light as they were infused with spiritual energy.

The reflection made everyone's face look solemn.

the other side.
When Ye Yang led his disciples into the Starry Land, the gravel beneath their feet was gleaming with a pale silver light.

This meteorite belt, stretching across the western side of the Thousand Islands, is scattered with countless fragments of stars.

The largest piece of meteorite debris stands like a small mountain, its surface covered with honeycomb-like holes.

"Everyone, follow me to mine the core meteorite iron; the rest of you, keep watch on the surroundings."

As soon as Ye Yang finished speaking, many people took out specially made black iron chisels and began chiseling at the meteorite cliff.

Amidst the crisp "clinking" sounds.

Fragments of meteorite iron, gleaming with a ghostly blue light, fell one after another.

These meteorites, covered with star patterns, are an excellent material for reinforcing the support structure of the spirit channel. With just a trace of star power, they can resist the erosion of the water's evil energy.

A disciple exclaimed in surprise as he held up a piece of meteorite iron the size of a fist.

"Dao Ancestor, look! This meteorite contains a star crystal core!"

The crystal core was completely transparent, as if it contained a miniature starry sky. As the light flowed, tiny galaxies could be clearly seen flowing within it.

Ye Yang took the crystal core and infused it with star power. The crystal core instantly burst forth with dazzling light, attracting the surrounding star sand and condensing it into a ball of silvery-white sand.

"This item can be used to extract the essence of star power. If we bring it back to the camp and give it to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, it may be able to improve the star power irrigation vehicle."

Just as everyone was busy, a rustling sound suddenly came from the depths of Starry Land.

Ye Yang looked up and saw countless tiny black shadows emerging from the stardust in the distance.

The dark shadows resembled earthworms, but had countless compound eyes. The dark green mucus dripping from their mouthparts landed on the meteorite, corroding small pits.

"It's a star eclipse worm!"

One of the disciples recognized the creature, and his expression changed drastically.

"Their saliva can dissolve protective energy, quickly form the array!"

Someone's gaze sharpened, pointing behind the swarm of worms.

"They are guarding the Star Sands vein."

Before these people could say anything, Ye Yang naturally saw the stardust behind the star-eating worms. Countless stardust piled up like mountains, gleaming with a pearly luster, clearly the location of the worms' nests.

Just as he was about to order his men to go around them, countless swarms of insects surged in like a tide.

The first few head directly crashed into the airship that was suspended in mid-air, their mouthparts gnawing at the ship's side, making a piercing "crunching" sound.

The sturdy iron hull of the ship was gnawed open with large holes.

Dark green viscous liquid dripped down the hole, corroding the ship's planks and causing them to emit bluish smoke.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yang's heart stirred, and with a flick of his finger, countless sword beams rushed towards the swarm of insects.

Upon touching the swords, the worms let out a shrill cry, their bodies melting away like ice and snow.

Apart from the people from the Flying Heaven Sect, this Star Ruins region was also inhabited.

In the distance, outside a huge meteorite cluster, there was a group of cultivators dressed in green Gu robes.

Gu Sansi, the third elder of the Gu God Sect, stared intently at the figure in front of him through the porthole, his fingers digging into his palms and drawing blood, but he was completely unaware of it.

"Elder, those seem to be disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect."

"A hall master beside Gu Sansi whispered, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"These disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect seem to have just gone through a fierce battle; now is the perfect time to strike!"

"If we get rid of these people, we might be able to reap what they sowed on this trip."

"Shut up! How dare you!"

Gu Sansi abruptly interrupted him, his voice trembling with fear.

He would never forget the scene not long ago, in the Gu God Sect's headquarters, where the sect's proud protective barrier was crushed by the other side with a single finger.

The starlight flowing from his fingertips seemed capable of burning everything in the world.

Even his years of painstakingly cultivated Gu techniques were no match for him.

The moment Ye Yang unleashed the Stardust Sand to annihilate the swarm of insects, the familiar oppressive aura almost froze his blood.

"Elder, we have an invisible boat for cover; he might not be able to detect us..."

"Are you trying to kill everyone?"

Gu Sansi's face was deathly pale. He pointed in Ye Yang's direction and lowered his voice even further.

"How dare you! Do you even know what kind of being the Dao Ancestor is?"

"With our small force, we wouldn't even be enough to fill his teeth!"

After saying that, Gu Sansi suddenly turned around and roared at the crowd behind him.

"Turn around immediately! Retreat to the outer edge of the Shattered Star Belt! No, retreat to a hundred miles away from the Purple Palace Starfield!"

The stealth airship silently changed direction and sped away.

Gu Sansi glanced back and happened to see Ye Daozu looking furious and gazing in their direction.

Although they are separated by a great distance.

He still felt that gaze pierced through the invisible array and went straight into his heart.

He was so startled that he quickly pulled his head back, his hands clasped together and trembling uncontrollably.

"Go! Hurry!"

As the flying boat disappeared into the depths of stardust, Ye Yang withdrew his gaze, his fingertips twitching slightly with star power.

He had already sensed the hidden malice, but simply couldn't be bothered to pay it any mind.

They're just a bunch of insignificant nobodys.

He wouldn't go so far as to kill indiscriminately for these people.

Sensing that the Gu God Sect members had gone far away, Ye Yang did not pursue them, but instead ordered the cultivators below to continue mining.

Before long, boxes of Stardust Sand were packed into specially made black iron boxes.

The box walls are engraved with spirit-locking runes to prevent the stellar power contained within from leaking out.

The group placed the stardust into the boat, which steadily carried the mined meteorite iron and star crystal cores.

They sped towards the Purple Enclosure Star.

Upon arriving at Ziyuan Star, the craftsmen of Tiangong Pavilion were already waiting by the Lingqu Canal.

Mo Yue's eyes lit up when he saw the stardust in the black iron box.

He stepped forward, bent down, took out a handful, carefully polished it, and then cupped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor. The star sand you brought back this time is of extremely high purity, perfect for joining together the star-patterned arch bridge!" (End of Chapter)
