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

Chapter 1088 Reunion with the Yama Empress
How could they possibly reveal the founding principles of the Gu God Sect? They hastily refused.

"The Gu worm inheritance is the foundation of the Gu God Sect. Since its founding, it has been sealed in the ancestral altar with the essence of blood. Even the Supreme Elders have no right to pass it on privately. This matter is absolutely impossible!"

Gu Xuan knew that the possibility of this was slim, so he continued to speak.

"I have heard that the Gu God Sect has thousands of poisonous insects with different uses. I wonder if you would be willing to part with them?"

The messenger pondered for a moment, then took out a jade box from his robes.

"These are the queen eggs of the 'Demon-Devouring Ants.' These ants feed on demonic energy and can guard the Spirit Garden. What do you think?"

Gu Xuan opened the jade box and saw that inside lay rows of jet-black ant eggs.

A faint, gnawing sound could be heard, and he nodded in agreement.

“This item is acceptable. When Daozu Ye returns, I will personally recommend it to you.”

Just as the two envoys breathed a sigh of relief, they saw the spirit-gathering array outside the nursery suddenly glow red.

That was an alarm signaling an invasion by foreign enemies. Xuanqing Sanren's expression changed slightly as he looked up into the depths of the wilderness, where a familiar, fierce aura was rapidly approaching.

"what is this?"

Gu Xuan's expression changed drastically. This fierce aura was mixed with a bone-chilling coldness, which was definitely not something that ordinary demonic beasts possessed.

He looked up abruptly and saw that the horizon deep in the wilderness was shrouded in a huge shadow.

Six pairs of thin, cicada-wing-like ice-blue wings were flapping, stirring up swirling frost and snow as they hurtled towards them.

"It's a six-winged frost centipede!"

An older disciple of the Flying Heaven Sect cried out in alarm, and the jade basin of spiritual herbs in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

The giant insect was nearly a hundred feet long, its entire body covered in a bluish-black carapace, from which a pale purple venom seeped.

Wherever the drop fell, black ice crystals instantly formed on the ground.

The six-winged frost centipede flapped its wings, and a cold wave mixed with poisonous powder rushed towards them, instantly causing a layer of white frost to appear on the light screen of the spirit-gathering array outside the cultivation garden.

The array patterns dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect quickly activated their formation to defend themselves, but the cold air made their spiritual energy flow sluggish, and several disciples with lower cultivation levels began to shiver.

"Activate the second layer of defense immediately!"

Gu Xuan shouted sharply, summoning twelve Mountain and Sea Pearls in an attempt to sweep away the poison powder. However, the poison powder landed on the whisk and instantly enveloped the Mountain and Sea Pearls in a wave of emerald green.

Upon seeing this, the Gu Shen Sect envoy's expression turned even more grim than that of the Flying Heaven Sect disciples, and one of them said in a trembling voice.

"This centipede is an ancient and rare species. Those with six wings have cultivated for at least several thousand years. Its venom is so potent that even cultivators at the Void Refinement stage must avoid it..."

Before the words were even finished, the six-winged frost centipede swooped down, its massive body crashing into the cultivation garden, about to crush dozens of spirit herb gardens into dust.

At this critical moment.

A streak of red and blue lightning suddenly flashed across the sky.

The light was incredibly fast; everyone only saw a blur before their eyes and heard a sharp, tearing sound like ripping silk.

Immediately following was the mournful hiss of the six-winged frost centipede.

When they looked again, the ferocious beast was already hovering in mid-air.

The body was neatly cut open from head to tail, and pale purple internal organs mixed with green blood gushed out.

It landed on the ground and emitted bursts of poisonous mist.

The red and blue lightning had long since vanished without a trace, leaving only a faint trace of fire and lightning in the air.

"This is……"

Gu Xuan's pupils contracted sharply as he looked abruptly in the direction where the lightning had disappeared.

A figure descended slowly, stepping on fine lightning patterns, its sword wings gradually retracting.
The red and blue shimmering light disappeared quietly at the feather root.

Who else could it be but Ye Yang?
Ye Yang glanced at the dissected six-winged frost centipede, then swept his gaze over the still-shaken crowd, and spoke calmly.

"A mere centipede dares to run wild in the territory of the Flying Heaven Gate."

The disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect then realized what was happening and knelt down to pay their respects: "Greetings, Dao Ancestor Ye!"

The envoy from the Gu God Sect turned ashen-faced.

Everyone knew the illustrious name of this Dao Ancestor, so they all knelt down in worship. Ye Yang ignored the crowd's awe and focused his gaze on the corpse of the Six-Winged Frost Centipede, his brows furrowing slightly.

"This desolate land is indeed extraordinary. We just got rid of the phoenix, and now this kind of thing has appeared."

"It seems we need to speed up the development process and, while we're at it, clear out these hidden dangers."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Xuan.

"What are the people from the Gu God Sect doing here?"

Gu Xuan quickly reported the details of the cooperation.

After listening, Ye Yang turned his gaze to the two envoys, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"Exchange the queen eggs of the Devouring Demon Ants for spirit herbs? Fine. But when you get back, tell the higher-ups of the Gu God Sect that they need your sect to send people to help clear the poisonous creatures from this desolate land."

"After all, you are better at dealing with poisonous insects than we are."

Upon hearing this, the two envoys' expressions changed drastically.

They all looked hesitant, but when they met Ye Yang's imposing gaze, they could only bow and agree.

"We will obey the Dao Ancestor's instructions and report the truthfully."

After saying this, the two hurriedly took their leave and flew away swiftly through the poisonous fog.

His figure quickly disappeared into the clouds.

Ye Yang gazed in the direction they had left, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and with sword intent flowing around him, he spoke in a deep voice to the void.

"It's actually the Empress who has arrived. May I ask what brings her to my attention?"

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples spread through the surrounding space, like pebbles being thrown into a calm lake.

Before long, a cold and beautiful figure slowly appeared in the void.

The newcomer was dressed in a long, dark black dress, the hem of which was embroidered with golden spider lilies. She was eerie and dazzling, and her body was surrounded by wisps of ghostly aura. She was none other than the Yama Queen.

She slowly stepped out of the void, a faint smile playing on her lips: "Fellow Daoist Ye, it's been a long time."

When Ye Yang saw his old friend, a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what brings you here today? I never expected to meet you here."

The Yama Queen's beautiful eyes swept over Ye Yang, sizing him up.

When she sensed the powerful aura emanating from him, her expression instantly turned to shock, and her red lips parted slightly.

"I never expected that you would break through to the Void Refinement Realm!"

Her tone was full of disbelief. She and Ye Yang had known each other for a long time.

He himself broke through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm one step ahead of Ye Yang.

He naturally knew how difficult it was to break through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Void Refinement Realm.

Ye Yang nodded slightly, his expression calm: "It was just a coincidence."

The Queen of Hell gently shook her head, her eyes full of admiration.

"I remember when I first met you, you were just a Heavenly Gang True Person, striving to break through to the Dharma Aspect realm."

"I never imagined that you, fellow Daoist, would have already reached the Refinement of Void Dao Realm. To be able to break through to the Refinement of Void Realm in this turbulent world is definitely not just due to luck."

She paused, her gaze turning serious.

"I have come here because of the various opportunities in the starry sky."

"The surface world is currently experiencing frequent disturbances, and various forces are eager to make their moves. There are countless treasures in the starry sky. If you want to advance your cultivation, you will need to come here to seek opportunities."

Ye Yang's expression hardened, and he looked towards the depths of the wilderness.

“I noticed it too. We just dealt with this six-winged frost centipede and were planning to clean up the hidden dangers in the wilderness and strengthen our control over this area.”

The Queen of Hell chuckled softly.

"It seems we share the same idea. There is another matter I would like to trouble you with, fellow Daoist. I would like to find a place to settle down in this Purple Enclosure Star Land."
