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

Ye Yang picked up the tea offered by the Qilin Ancient Clan and took a small sip.

His gaze fell on the Qilin Ancestor, his smile gentle yet carrying a profound meaning.

"Although the gales in that outer space are fierce and there are many dangers, it has also given birth to many unique Daoist charms."

"When I broke through to the Void Refinement Realm, it was by borrowing the power of the ancient Xuan Tian Sect that I was able to break through the barrier and reach the Void Refinement Realm."

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Qilin Ancestor, and he clapped his hands.

"Oh? Breakthroughs in the Void Refinement Realm are all due to chance. The fact that Dao Ancestor Ye was able to obtain such good fortune in the newly developed star region shows that you have extraordinary luck."

“That’s exactly what I wanted to say.”

Ye Yang put down his teacup and lightly tapped the table with his fingertip.

A pale purple stellar energy transformed into a light curtain that floated in mid-air, reflecting the outline of the star map of the Purple Enclosure Star Land.

"The Refinement of Void Realm may seem like an easy path to cultivation, but in reality, every step is fraught with peril. After breaking through to the Refinement of Void Realm this time, I have also gained many insights."

The Qilin Ancestor leaned forward slightly, clearly intrigued.

"I wonder what insightful opinion Daoist Ye has?"

"I would like to exchange cultivation insights with the Dao Ancestor."

Ye Yang spoke in a calm tone.

"As a junior who has just entered the Void Refinement stage, my understanding of the Great Dao of Cultivation is still shallow. Senior, you have been immersed in this realm for many years and must have unique insights. If we can share our knowledge, it will greatly benefit both of us in breaking through our bottlenecks."

He paused and continued.

"Secondly, there are many treasures deep within the Purple Enclosure Star Land. According to my exploration, there are also many places deep within that can help one comprehend the Dao, but they are shrouded in fierce winds and evil energy, and it is extremely risky to explore them rashly."

"If you are willing, senior, the enlightenment opportunities obtained by the Flying Heaven Sect and the Qilin Ancient Clan after they jointly explore this place in the future can be shared by both sides."

Upon hearing this, the Qilin Ancestor's eyes gleamed with a strange light. He stroked his golden beard, pondered for a moment, and then laughed loudly.

"Dao Ancestor's suggestion is exactly what I wanted! I have been stuck in the Void Refinement stage for a hundred years and am worried about not being able to find a breakthrough opportunity."

"If the Purple Palace Star Realm truly holds an opportunity to help me break through, then it would be something I could never hope to obtain in my entire life."

Seeing this, Ye Yang smiled slightly, reached into his storage bag, took out two jade boxes, and gently placed them on the table.

The moment the jade box was opened.

Three beams of light of different colors shot into the sky, interspersed with starlight amidst the misty spiritual energy.

The first jade box contained a purple Ganoderma lucidum with leaves that spread out like starlight and three glistening berries at the top.

This is the unique "Starry Purple Fungus" of the Purple Enclosure Star Region, which can nourish the soul of cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage.

The second jade box contained half a dark green vine, covered with silver star patterns.

It is the "Void-Entwining Star Vine", a top-tier material for crafting spatial magical artifacts.

The third jade box is the most peculiar, containing a lotus-shaped spiritual herb floating within. Its petals are layered upon each other, each reflecting a different star map, making it a "Myriad Star Lotus".

"These are spiritual herbs that I picked from the Purple Palace Star Land. Although they are not rare treasures, they are products unique to the star land."

Ye Yang pushed the jade box in front of the Qilin Ancestor.

"Senior has led the Qilin Ancient Clan for many years and possesses vast knowledge and experience; perhaps this will prove useful. Consider this a small token of my appreciation."

The Qilin Ancestor's gaze fell upon the jade box.

He brushed his fingertips across the petals of the Starry Purple Ganoderma, feeling the pure starlight spiritual power within, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

With his keen eye, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of these things.

"Master Ye, what a generous gesture! These spiritual materials are rich in star power and boundless star energy."

"Especially since the Myriad Star Lotus can only grow in the origin of star lands. I have traveled through the starry sky for thousands of years and have never seen it. The Purple Enclosure Star Land is indeed a place where dragons and tigers hide!"

He closed the jade box.

"The Myriad Star Lotus is too precious; it would be more appropriate for the Dao Ancestor to keep it for his own use. As for the Starry Purple Fungus and the Void Star-Entwining Vine, I would be impolite to refuse them."

Ye Yang smiled and pushed the jade box back.

"You are mistaken, senior. Since it is a gift, it should naturally be something that suits your taste."

"The star map of Wanxinglian may be related to the star secrets of the Qilin Ancient Clan. If you study it, you may gain unexpected benefits."

The Qilin Ancestor gave Ye Yang a deep look, and seeing his sincere attitude, finally nodded and accepted it.

"I will remember the sincerity of the Dao Ancestor. The spiritual herbs of the Purple Enclosure Star Land have such divine charm. It seems that the Flying Heaven Sect has done a good job in developing it."

Ye Yang nodded.

"Once the mortals have finished migrating, the vitality of Ziyuan Star Land will only increase. If you have time at that time, you can visit Ziyuan Star Land yourself."

The Qilin Ancestor laughed loudly.

“It’s a deal! In three days, I will send several giant ships from the Qilin Ancient Clan that are capable of traversing the starry sky to the Flying Gate.”

"As for the exchange among those at the Refinement of Void Realm, once the relocation is on track, I will personally invite a few friends to sit down and discuss the Dao. We are sure they will all gain a great deal."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared in Ye Yang's eyes.

There are very few cultivators at the Refining Void Realm. If even a few can gather together to exchange ideas, it can be considered a grand event.

"In that case, I will await your good news, senior."

After bidding farewell to the Qilin Ancient Clan.

A few days later, the flying boat broke through the clouds of the Purple Enclosure Star Land.

Ye Yang then arrived at the territory of the Flying Heaven Gate.

The cultivators of the Flying Heaven Sect were already waiting at the airport where the Heavenly Spirit Ship was docked.

Upon Ye Yang's return, the members of the Flying Heaven Sect bowed respectfully.

Wang Dong was the first to return to Feitianmen a few days ago.

Upon seeing Ye Yang return, he quickly stepped forward and whispered a report on the preparations for the spirit ship's protective formation over the past few days.

Ye Yang nodded.

"In a few days, the Qilin Ancient Clan will send three starships. This time, you will continue to coordinate the craftsmen to complete the migration of mortals. I will be right back."

After saying that, Ye Yang went to the deck of the Tongtian Spirit Ship.

This giant ship, which once helped the Flying Gate rise to prominence, is now quietly moored in the center of the airport.

Although the star pattern on the rainbow wood deck frame has been illuminated, it still appears thin.

Even though this ship is in the terrestrial world, it remains a rare and precious treasure of the clan.

However, it is clear that the original structure alone is no longer sufficient to bear the heavy responsibility of traversing the starry sky.

Ye Yang pointed with one hand, and a deep dragon roar seemed to emanate from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a section of dragon bone, hundreds of feet long, slowly rose into the air.

The dragon bone is dark gold in color and its surface is covered with natural patterns that resemble star trails. Even when separated from its original body, one can still feel the vast star power contained within it.

It was the Xuan Tian Starship Dragon Bone that he had previously obtained in the Starry Sky Land.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding spiritual energy surged violently, even shaking the clouds above the airport apart.

"The Xuan Tian Starship was able to traverse the Milky Way back then thanks to this section of the main dragon bone."

Ye Yang gently stroked the patterns on the dragon bone with his fingertips, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, before his gaze sharpened.

"Today, I will make you one with the Heavenly Spirit Ship, and continue your glorious legacy."

He leaped to the bow of the Heavenly Spirit Ship, unleashing the primordial spirit power cultivated at the Refinement Void Realm without reservation.

Pale purple star power surged into the skeleton of the spirit ship like a tide.

With a low shout, the dragon bone of the Xuan Tian Starship transformed into a golden rainbow, precisely embedding itself into the original dragon bone groove of the spirit ship.

A strange scene happened.

The instant the two made contact, the star patterns on the Xuan Tian Starship's keel and the original star patterns on the spirit ship intertwined and devoured each other as if they were alive.

Ultimately, they merged into a more intricate golden pattern that spread along the hull of the ship.

"not enough."

Ye Yang frowned slightly, although the spirit ship's aura surged due to its integration with the starship's dragon bone.

However, the side panels of the ship are still fragile and cannot withstand the turbulence of the starry sky.

He reached out again, this time taking out a piece of dragon bone as black as ink.

The dragon bones were shrouded in a chilling aura; they were the bones of the ghost dragon he had slaughtered in the Thousand Islands.

"That ghost dragon is skilled at traversing Star Lake, and its bones can gather yin and cold power, which is perfect for stabilizing the defenses on both sides of the ship."

Before he finished speaking, he had already broken the ghost dragon's bones into dozens of pieces, wrapping them with spiritual power and embedding them into the black iron supports on both sides of the spirit ship. The black dragon bones and the golden star patterns did not clash when they met; instead, they spread out like ink on paper.

A dark golden protective shadow formed at the ship's side, with the faint shadow of a dragon swirling within it.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yang took out a bottle of Star Essence, which was filled with tiny, shimmering lights, like fireflies.

"rise!"

next moment.

Ye Yang poured out all the star marrow, formed hand seals, and transformed the primordial spirit power of the Void Refining Realm into countless fine threads of light.

It draws the star marrow into every crevice of the spirit ship.

Wherever the star marrow passed, the fusion between the Xuan Tian Star Boat's dragon bone and the spirit ship's main body became increasingly tight.

The chilling power of the Ghost Dragon's bones was neutralized just right, no longer eroding the foundation of the spirit ship.

Even more astonishingly, after the star marrow combined with the star patterns on the ship's hull, a massive array condensed at the bottom of the ship.

Ye Yang stood at the bow of the ship, watching the Tongtian Spirit Ship in front of him gradually transform.

The length of the ship increased from several hundred feet to several thousand feet.

The black iron frame was covered with a layer of dark gold scales made of star marrow and dragon bone, and the original flying eagle carving on the bow was replaced with a star dragon with outstretched wings.

Two star-shaped gemstones are inlaid in the dragon's eye area, shimmering with captivating light.

At the stern, the rudder, made from the bones of a ghost dragon, shimmered with an eerie light, and with the slightest movement, it created ripples in the space.

"Let's test the power."

With a thought, Ye Yang caused the star map array at the bottom of the ship to light up suddenly.

A thrust far greater than ever before came from the ship, and the entire spirit ship floated slightly upwards from its original position.

The surrounding space rippled slightly, but without causing any disturbance.

He nodded in satisfaction, flicked his fingertip lightly on the hull, and a golden rune merged into the center of the star dragon's brow.

“From now on, you will no longer be called the Heavenly Spirit Ship.”

Ye Yang's voice, imbued with spiritual power, resonated throughout the ship.

"With the Xuan Tian Star Boat as its bones, the Ghost Dragon as its wings, and the Star Marrow as its blood, let's call you 'Star Dragon Boat'."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Star Dragon Boat began to hum.

The sound seemed to carry an endless dragon's might.

At the same time, the star patterns around the ship's hull were also lit up.

A beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through heaven and earth, causing unusual fluctuations in the void of the entire Flying Gate area.

The monks at the airport exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

Wang Dong rushed over and, looking at the giant ship floating in the air, exclaimed excitedly.

"Dao Ancestor, this Star Dragon Bone Ship... actually possesses the power to traverse the starry sky?"

Ye Yang turned around and smiled, "Not only that."

He pointed to the dragon skeleton at the stern of the ship.

"With this dragon bone, even if we accidentally enter the turbulent currents of space, we can still travel through the void and escape. A few days later, the starship of the Qilin Ancient Clan will arrive, and we can transport mortals to the Purple Palace Starry Sky together."

Half a month later, the port of Feitianmen was already submerged by a dark mass of people.

These are mortals from the Flying Heaven Sect.

Some carried bags full of their belongings, while others held young children in their arms. The bags were bulging with dried grains and simple farming tools.

They may not understand what "star migration" means, but they firmly remember the words of their elders.

"Follow the Flying Heaven Sect, and you'll have spiritual fields to cultivate and a peaceful life."

Standing high above the airport, Wang Dong looked down at the long queue that had spontaneously formed below and sighed to the elder beside him.

"The Taoist patriarch said, 'Mortals are the foundation,' and now it seems that this foundation is more stable than a rock."

The disciple beside him grinned and patted the long sword at his waist.

"Yesterday alone, nearly ten thousand ordinary people came from the coastal waters in their fishing boats, saying that even if they had to squeeze into the cargo hold, they still wanted to go and see the Purple Palace Star."

"Our Feitianmen is diligent in governing and loves the people, and deserves great prosperity."

Just then, violent ripples suddenly appeared in the void at the end of the airport.

Like a calm lake being struck by a boulder, layers of spatial ripples spread outwards.

Immediately afterwards, three deafening roars of beasts echoed from the depths of the ripples.

The voice was neither dragon nor unicorn, carrying the unique pressure of an ancient star beast, causing the mortals in the airport to involuntarily hold their breath.

"coming!"

Wang Dong suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the crack in the void, his hand instinctively tightening his grip on the long sword.

The next moment, three enormous shadows burst forth from the void, forcefully carving out a clearing in the sea of ​​clouds outside the airport.

The lead starship was entirely reddish-gold and was also the largest.

The ship's hull was carved with a lifelike phantom of a Qilin, its scales shimmering with starlight, each scale measuring about ten feet in size.

The bow of the ship features a golden pillar with a coiled dragon.

The crimson crystal embedded at the top of the pillar suddenly burst forth with intense light, dyeing half the sky golden-red.

The two starships that followed were slightly smaller, but each had its own unique features.

The starship on the left was covered in dark green scales, with dozens of menacing bone spikes protruding from its hull.

A bronze bell hangs from the end of the bone spur, swaying in the wind and making a clear, melodious sound that can soothe the soul.

The starship on the right is entirely black, with 999 star gems embedded in its bottom shimmering with a faint light, making it look like a moving starry sky from afar.

"This...this is the starship of the Qilin Ancient Clan?"

A young cultivator couldn't help but gasp as the sails of these enormous starships unfurled, obscuring half the sky.

The image of a Qilin stepping on stars, drawn with stardust on the canvas, shimmers with Taoist charm under the sunlight, captivating the viewer's soul.

The crowd of mortals was in an uproar. Some timid children were so frightened by the pressure of the starship that they cried, but were held down by the old man next to them.

"Don't be afraid! This is a starship from a friendly race, here to take us to the Purple Palace Starfield!"

Even so, the old man himself widened his eyes, his finger trembling as he pointed at the bow of the Crimson Gold Star ship.

Several ancient Qilin cultivators, each nearly ten feet tall, stood there, clad in golden scale armor.

Surrounded by faint flames, he was clearly a powerful member of the Qilin Ancient Clan.

Soon after, the three giant ships slowly descended, with dozens of crystal-carved staircases extending from their bottoms, leading directly to the airport grounds.

The leading golden-scaled cultivator strode down, his gaze sweeping over the crowd at the airport before finally settling on Wang Dong. He then cupped his hands in greeting.

"Fellow Daoists of the Flying Heaven Sect, I am Qi Santong, and I have come here on orders from the Qilin Ancient Clan, namely the Crimson Gold Ship, the Ink Lin Ship, and the Starry Sky Ship."

"The starship has now been equipped with a triple protective array and is ready to carry mortals on their journey at any time."

Wang Dong quickly returned the greeting and was about to speak when a light screen suddenly appeared on the hull of the Crimson Gold Ship.

The scene inside the ship's cabin appeared on the light screen.

The cabin was divided into dozens of areas, each covered with a soft mat of spiritual grass, and a jade jar filled with clear water was placed in the corner.

The aura of the spirit-gathering shield flowed around the top of the cabin, and even the air carried a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

"This...this is even more comfortable than our best inn!"

When ordinary people saw the scene in the light screen, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

People who had previously worried about the "crowded cargo hold" now only looked on with anticipation.

Upon seeing this, Qi Santong smiled slightly.

"As Master Ye said, mortals are the foundation, and should be properly settled."

"The main cabin of the Crimson Gold can carry 30,000 people, while the Ink Lin and Star Dou can each carry 20,000. With all three ships departing at the same time, the first batch of relocations can be completed in less than three months."

Wang Dong looked at the enormous machine in front of him, then at the eager craftsmen behind him, and took a deep breath.

"In that case, please wait a moment, fellow Daoist, while I arrange for the mortals to board the ship!"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a dragon's roar suddenly echoed over the airport, and a figure slowly descended from the clouds.

Ye Yang stood at the bow of the Star Dragon Boat and spoke loudly.

"Wang Dong, lead the first batch of mortals onto the Star Dragon Ship. I will personally escort them!" (End of Chapter)
