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

Chapter 1097 Xuan Yuan Scripture Pavilion

the other side.

Ye Yang and his two companions sped through the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm.

Beneath their feet was a rolling sea of ​​clouds, and as the three of them sped by, ripples occasionally spread across the surrounding space.

This secret realm has existed for who knows how many years.

Many places have become ruins.

The three flew along, and as they looked around, they saw a scene of utter devastation inside.

Ye Yang held the Azure Dragon Longsword in his hand.

The sword trembled slightly in the rushing air, as if it resonated with the rhythm of the surrounding space.

At this moment, during rapid flight.

The azure dragon on the sword hilt was so lifelike that even the patterns on its scales became clearly discernible.

Where fingertips glide.

You can still feel a warm yet powerful force flowing within the sword.

"This sword seems to have been the treasure of the Xuan Yuan Sect in the past."

Ye Yang carefully stroked the sword in his hand, a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Empress Yama and Yan Qingying slowed down and looked at the sword in Ye Yang's hand.

Especially Yan Qingying's six-winged demonic corpse, looking at the long sword, revealed a trace of fear in its eyes.

Suddenly, he let out a low roar, seemingly filled with awe for the sword.

Ye Yang stroked the blade of the sword.

Feeling the power to cleave the heavens and the agility of the Azure Dragon spirit contained within, he spoke slowly.

"This sword is now in my hands. It has a blue dragon coiled around it and the power to cleave the sky. Why don't we call it the 'Blue Dragon Sky-Cleaving Sword'?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a clear, melodious hum emanated from the sword.

The purple-gold light on the sword instantly shone.

In an instant, the azure dragon on the sword hilt seemed to come alive, a glint of light flashing in its eyes.

"It seems it's quite happy with the name."

Seeing this, the Queen of Hell smiled.

Ye Yang smiled, then his eyes narrowed, and he slowly poured the power of his primordial spirit into the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword.

At the same time, the method of the Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique appeared in his mind.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword emitted a deafening sword cry.

The azure dragon phantom on the entire sword suddenly broke free from the blade, coiled behind him, and spewed out a sharp sword aura.

Wherever the sword energy passed, space was torn open with a tiny crack, radiating terrifying power.

"What a powerful force!"

Yan Qingying couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"The power it unleashes far surpasses that of ordinary primordial spirit artifacts."

She could sense that the power of this sword energy was several times stronger than the Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique that Ye Yang had used before.

Ye Yang glanced at the Taixu Red Lotus Sword in his hand, and then spoke.

"This Taixu Red Lotus Sword has been with me in battle for many years, and now it's time for it to be upgraded."

Ye Yang was overjoyed the moment he used the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword.

He could clearly sense that there seemed to be some mysterious connection between the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique.

Now that the two are combined, the consumption of his primordial spirit power has been reduced by more than half.

Moreover, its power has undergone a qualitative leap.

"Sure enough."

Ye Yang muttered to himself.

"When this Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword is combined with my Sky-Splitting Sword Technique, it can unleash a power greater than the sum of its parts."

He tried to activate the Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique again, and the purple-gold light on the Azure Dragon Heaven-Splitting Sword became even more dazzling.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, with this sword in hand, your strength must have improved considerably."

"This time, even if we go to the demon realm, we have more leverage."

Ye Yang withdrew his sword intent.

The light on the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword gradually faded, restoring its ancient appearance.

"With this Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, even if we encounter a demon in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, we should be fine."

Ye Yang smiled slightly and looked up into the depths of the secret realm.

"Alright, let's continue on our way. There are still many secrets waiting for us to explore in this Xuan Yuan Secret Realm."

After saying that, he sped up and rushed towards the depths of the secret realm.

Empress Yama and Yan Qingying exchanged a glance and followed suit.

The three figures sped along like three streaks of light, breaking through a hazy spatial barrier, and the scene before them suddenly changed.

Ahead lay a wide-open space bustling with people.

Nearly a hundred monks were arguing incessantly around a pile of ruins.

Among them were independent cultivators clad in animal skins, as well as sect cultivators dressed in uniform attire.

The people at the very front were cultivators at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm.

At this moment, the people standing in front joined forces to unleash a beam of spiritual light, attempting to tear apart the light barrier protecting the ruins.

However, the force rebounding from the light screen caused his blood and qi to surge.

"Strange, what's going on with this broken restriction?"

A rogue cultivator with a face full of scars cursed loudly.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of three streaks of light falling to the ground out of the corner of his eye, and the words he was about to say suddenly caught in his throat.

At this moment, it wasn't just him.

The scene fell silent as the others watched Ye Yang and his two companions fly over.

Especially when Yang landed, the scabbard of the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword lightly touched the ground, making a muffled "thump".

It was like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart.

A faint, almost imperceptible, sword intent that seemed to cleave the heavens spread along the ground.

Many cultivators with weaker cultivation levels knelt down directly, and many of them were trembling all over.

The Yama Empress gently raised her hand, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Several cultivators who were nearby instantly felt as if their primordial spirits had been pierced by ice spikes, and hurriedly circulated their magic power to resist.

Yan Qingying's six-winged demonic corpse took a step forward.

The moment the six pairs of bone wings unfolded, the aura of corpse evil spread like a black tide.

The rubble surrounding the ruins was corroded by this aura, creating fine holes.

The red light from the demonic corpse's eyes swept across the crowd, and wherever it went, even cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm subconsciously retreated.

"That, that person is...it is Ye Daozu of the Flying Heaven Sect!"

Someone recognized the faintly visible wings of calamity behind Ye Yang, and their voice trembled like a candle flickering in the wind.

"And the Queen of Hell! Wasn't she in Black Wind Abyss? How come she's here?"

"That demonic corpse... is the six-winged demonic corpse of the Flying Heaven Sect!"

The murmurs were like a boiling pot, but no one dared to speak loudly.

These people all stole glances at the three of them with fearful eyes.

The cultivators who were just scrambling for the remaining fragments on the periphery of the ruins were now frantically stuffing things into their robes, wishing they could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Everyone knows that these three are very capable.

If it really came down to a fight, they probably wouldn't even be enough to fill a tooth gap.

"Get out of the way! Get out of my way!"

A middle-aged cultivator dressed in the robes of the Crimson Sun Sect flew in from a distance.

He saw a large crowd gathered in front of him and shouted fiercely, but was pulled back by the elder beside him.

"idiot!"

The elder lowered his voice, his back soaked with cold sweat.

"Didn't you see Dao Ancestor Ye is here too? Dao Ancestor Ye's current aura... is even more terrifying than when he killed the Six-Winged Centipede! You'd better behave yourself if you don't want to die!"

The crowd dispersed to both sides like a receding tide, clearing a passage dozens of feet wide in the blink of an eye, and even their breathing became softer.

Ye Yang's gaze swept across the crowd, and the cultivators who had been arguing just moments before all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

A barely perceptible smile curved his lips.

These people's reactions saved a lot of trouble.

"The restrictions ahead are quite interesting."

The Yama Empress's voice carried a hint of amusement. She flicked a wisp of Netherworld energy from her fingertip, which bounced back as soon as it touched the light screen.

"It's the Xuan Yuan Sect's 'Void Locking Restriction,' specifically used to seal off space." Yan Qingying's demonic corpse let out a roar, seemingly trying to smash through, but Ye Yang raised his hand to stop it.

No need to rush.

Ye Yang raised the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, its blade gleaming with a bluish-gray luster in the sunlight.

“The restrictions of the Xuan Yuan Sect must be broken with the sword of the Xuan Yuan Sect.”

Ye Yang's gaze fell on the dilapidated pavilion in front of him.

The three faded characters "Zangjingge" (Scripture Repository) can be faintly seen among the broken walls and ruins.

No wonder these people are so agitated.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Xuan Yuan Sect's classic texts and inheritances must be hidden inside.

However, it is clear that this restriction is also very strong.

Fine spatial patterns flowed across the surface of the light curtain, which enveloped the ruins like an eggshell.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been surrounded by so many people yet so difficult to break through.

At this moment, he could clearly feel countless spatial runes pulsating deep within the light screen.

The energy that shared the same origin as the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword almost broke through the restraints.

"This is it."

Ye Yang gripped the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword tightly, the blade trembling slightly in his palm, as if he had been eagerly awaiting its arrival.

He took a deep breath, and the power of his primordial spirit surged like a river, pouring into the sword.

In an instant, the Heaven-Splitting Sword Technique was unleashed.

The bluish-gray sword body burst forth with dazzling purple-gold light, and the illusory azure dragon on the hilt soared into the air, circling and roaring above his head.

Two golden beams shot out from the dragon's eyes, precisely locking onto the weakest point on the light screen.

"rise!"

Ye Yang let out a low shout, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword unleashed a sword light that stretched across the heavens and earth.

Like a thunderbolt cleaving through chaos, it struck the light screen with devastating force.

With a crisp "crack," a crack appeared instantly in the seemingly indestructible Lock Void Restriction.

Immediately afterwards, cracks spread like a spider web, and countless spatial runes shattered inch by inch in the sword light.

"Boom!"

The moment the light curtain shattered completely, a rich spatial aura surged out, and the scene inside the ruins of the Scripture Pavilion suddenly became clear.

It was a compressed, isolated space.

Inside, dozens of jade shelves were neatly arranged, though there were quite a few empty spaces on them.

Yet hundreds of jade slips remain, and the walls are covered with shimmering gold carvings.

"It is the inheritance of classical texts!"

Upon seeing this, the cultivators on the periphery instantly ignited a flame of greed in their eyes.

Some have even unleashed their magical weapons, eager to rush in and claim all the treasures for themselves.

One of the rogue cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm couldn't resist any longer and rushed towards the entrance of the space with a flash of spiritual light beneath his feet.

"The treasure belongs to the capable; whoever grabs it keeps it!"

Just as he was about to step into the space, Ye Yang suddenly snorted coldly.

The snort wasn't loud, but it carried an overwhelming sense of dominance.

It was like an invisible thunderclap that exploded in everyone's ears.

The rogue cultivator at the forefront was struck as if by a heavy blow. He screamed and flew backward, spitting blood as he crashed to the ground. His spiritual energy shield shattered instantly.

"Anyone who dares to take another step forward will be executed!"

Ye Yang's voice was icy cold, and he slightly raised the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword.

The sword tip pointed directly at the crowd, and a terrifying sword intent spread out like a tide.

The crowd, which had been restless just moments before, froze instantly.

Everyone was stunned by Ye Yang's cold snort and his sharp sword intent.

At this moment, trying to snatch what Ye Daozu has his eye on is tantamount to courting death.

"Master Ye... Master Ye, please calm your anger! We dare not!"

An elder of the Chiyang Sect spoke tremblingly, quickly pulling the disciple beside him who was still about to act impulsively back a few steps.

The other cultivators also reacted quickly, scrambling to retreat, afraid of angering this evil star.

The frenzy of vying for the treasure vanished instantly, leaving only deep awe and fear.

Upon seeing this, the coldness in Ye Yang's eyes lessened slightly.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, but if these people really stormed into the library...

It will inevitably damage the spatial runes inside, and that's what he really cares about.

"Follow me in."

Ye Yang ignored the crowd on the outside and stepped into that private space first.

Empress Yama and Yan Qingying exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

The six-winged demon corpse stood guard at the entrance, its corpse eyes coldly staring at the crowd outside.

The cultivators on the periphery watched the three figures disappear into the spatial entrance, their eyes filled with resentment, yet none dared to make any further moves.

The moment Ye Yang stepped into the independent space, a fragrance of ink, sealed for millennia, wafted towards him.

He looked up and saw dozens of white jade bookshelves standing in the distance, arranged in a neat and orderly fashion.

Although half of the shelves were empty, the remaining shelves were neatly stacked with jade slips and ancient books.

"These runes..."

Ye Yang lightly touched the stone wall with his fingertips, and the runes actually climbed up the sword blade along his fingertips, causing the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword to emit a pleasant hum.

He quickly took out a blank jade slip and used his spiritual power as a pen to imprint the core runes of "space folding" and "node teleportation" on the star map.

"With these, the Flying Heaven Sect's protective mountain array can be transformed into a spatial maze array, further enhancing the sect's heritage in array formations."

The Queen of Hell's gaze fell on the bookshelf on the west side, where dozens of ancient books with blue covers were displayed, the words "Heavenly River" on the cover shimmering with water.

She pulled out the top volume, the moment the pages were turned.

A crystal-clear drop of water rolled down from between the pages, hovering in mid-air and transforming into a seedling about an inch tall, with a faint aura of spiritual energy lingering around its roots.

"It's a water seed from the Heavenly River Spiritual Vein!"

A look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"It is said that the Xuan Yuan Sect can draw spiritual water from all over the world into its secret realm, all thanks to this water that nourishes the spiritual veins."

"Plant it in the spirit herb garden of the Flying Heaven Sect, and the problem of water diversion in the spirit canals of the Thousand Islands can be solved, and it may even give rise to new water veins!"

Yan Qingying's six-winged demonic corpse suddenly growled at the jade box in the northeast corner, its claws pointing at a fist-sized crystal inside the box.

The crystal was entirely azure blue, with what appeared to be swirling water inside; it was the Millennium Water Essence Crystal.

"This stuff, mixed with Phoenix Tail Feather Corpse Refining Pill, can give the demonic corpse's bone wings the power to control water."

Yan Qingying picked up the crystal marrow; it felt icy cold to the touch.

A surge of pure water-attribute energy flowed from his fingertips into the demon's corpse, causing the bone wings on the demon's back to shimmer with a layer of watery light.

Ye Yang was flipping through a jade slip with a black cover when he looked up.

"This is actually a weapon-refining inheritance."

He handed the jade slip to the two of them; it bore the five large characters "Mysterious Origin Hundred Refinements Technique".

From ore refining to rune inlay, there are even forbidden weapon-refining methods that "use spiritual veins as furnaces".

Ye Yang turned to the last page.

I saw a complete diagram of the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword drawn on it.

A thought struck him, and he put away the Profound Origin Hundred Refinements Technique.

The three worked together, with Yan Qingying collecting the scattered fragments of Water Elemental Crystal Marrow, obtaining a total of seven pieces.

The Yama Queen then put the Heavenly River Spiritual Vein Water Seed into a jade bottle and found two advanced annotations of the "Mysterious Origin Water Control Technique".

Ye Yang focused on imprinting spatial runes, and also packed up all the jade slips related to weapon crafting and formations on the bookshelf, filling three storage bags in total.

The most unexpected find was hidden in a secret compartment at the bottom of the bookshelf.

A piece of star-refined gold the size of a human head, its surface engraved with body-refining runes.

"This is the most important accompanying material for the 'Star Body Refining Technique'."

Ye Yang weighed the refined gold in his hand.

"If Junior Sister Yan's demonic corpse can absorb it, her physical strength can approach that of the Void Refinement Realm."

The six-winged demon corpse seemed to understand, excitedly rubbing its head against the star-refined gold, the red light in its corpse eyes growing even more intense.

As the three were preparing to leave.

Ye Yang suddenly noticed that in the center of the star map on the stone wall, a dim jade slip was embedded in the groove of the runes.

"There's more good stuff here."

He walked over, took the thing out, and looked at it.
