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

"In less than six months, the production of water-based spiritual materials in the Ziyuan Star Region will at least triple!"

Ye Yang looked at the formation gradually taking shape in the center of the lake and spoke.

"Wait a moment, carve the word 'Share' in the most conspicuous place at the core of the formation."

"The water and spiritual veins of Qiandao Lake should not only nourish the Flying Heaven Sect, but also allow the smaller sects and families that rely on our sect to share in the benefits."

Gu Xuan was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

"Does the Dao Ancestor intend to use the spiritual veins and water veins here as a link to gather the power of cultivators from the Star Earth?"

Ye Yang nodded.

"This starry sky is a vast and resource-rich land, with many undeveloped areas."

"Going it alone is not sustainable. Let them taste the benefits, so that they will have the confidence to fight together against a common enemy in the future."

As the sun sets, the mist over Thousand Island Lake completely dissipates, revealing thousands of verdant islands.

Waterbirds fly by, wild beasts run.

Many disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect traveled back and forth, building bridges and roads and constructing fortifications between the islands.

Looking at this bustling scene.

Ye Yang knew that the Flying Heaven Sect's foundation in the Purple Palace Star Land had deepened even further.

Several months later, the spiritual mist in the Purple Palace Star Land became even denser.

The rhythmic flow of water coming from the direction of Qiandao Lake is becoming increasingly clear.

The spiritual veins repaired by Ye Yang and his team are already showing initial results.

The altar at the bottom of the lake was surrounded by patches of algae, which attracted many aquatic monsters to migrate there.

Early that morning, a golden talisman suddenly lit up outside the protective array of Ziyuan Star.

The imperial edict pierced through the clouds and hung above the council hall, attracting the attention of a group of people.

"The Dao Alliance envoy has arrived."

Ye Yang is currently practicing the Xuan Yuan Gui Yi Jue (Mysterious Origin Returning to One Technique).

Just then, as if he had discovered something, he looked up at the talisman in the air, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes.

The next moment, he accepted the imperial edict.

After seeing the message above, I nodded.

It was said that an envoy from the Dao Alliance would be coming to discuss important matters in the near future.

And at the very moment the edict fell.

A cultivator flew over from afar on the outskirts of the Purple Enclosure Starfield.

After the cultivator appeared, he landed in the square in front of the palace.

"May I ask if Daoist Ye is here? I am Daoist Jinshui, and I have come to pay my respects to Daoist Ye on the orders of the Dao Alliance."

After entering the hall and taking their seats, the Taoist Jinshui took out a gilded scroll.

The moment it was unfurled, a blood-red demonic cave appeared on the scroll, and the temperature inside the hall plummeted.

"As you all know, the seal on the 'Demon Passage' in the Western Star Region has been loosened."

The Taoist priest's voice became serious.

"On the third day of last month, three demon generals at the Nascent Soul Realm rushed out of the abyss and slaughtered three immortal cities outside the Black Wind Abyss, killing and injuring more than 10,000 cultivators."

"The Dao Alliance has deduced the secrets of heaven. In less than half a year, the seal of the Demon Abyss will likely be completely shattered. The Dao Alliance wants to take this opportunity to attack the star regions where the Demon Race is located and then devour their star region spiritual energy."

"Help me upgrade my realm."

Ye Yang nodded; he knew that the Dao Alliance had been preparing for this plan for some time.

Having just repelled the demons, they still need to recuperate.

It now appears that they have clearly recovered.

"How does the Dao Alliance plan to respond?"

"Gather the power of the entire star field to prepare for the battle against the demon."

Jinshui Daoren pushed the scroll toward Ye Yang.

"The imperial edict stipulates that all sects registered with the Dao Alliance must pay war preparation resources according to their strength level."

"As a newly emerging powerful sect with cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, the Flying Sky Sect needs to pay 300,000 high-grade spirit stones, or equivalent spiritual materials or magical artifacts."

"Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones?"

Ye Yang gasped.

Even considering the Flying Heaven Sect's current situation, these 500,000 high-grade spirit stones are enough to represent five years' worth of profits for the sect.

Jinshui Daoren seemed to have anticipated Ye Yang's reaction, adding.

"The Dao Alliance is aware that this is a heavy burden. When we came here, we said that if any sects felt it was too much to handle, they could 'offer their labor in lieu of funding.' To put it bluntly, the Dao Alliance hopes that each sect will contribute manpower and effort, rather than simply paying for resources."

He pointed to the details on the scroll.

“A Nascent Soul cultivator who participates in the war for one year can have 100,000 high-grade spirit stones deducted; a Dharma Aspect cultivator can have 5,000 deducted.”

"If you can provide war supplies such as the Sky-Piercing Treasure Ship that can traverse the stars and Earth, and the Demon-Slaying Crossbow, they will be converted according to their grade."

"The remaining spirit stones will be distributed as battle merits to the cultivators who charged ahead."

Ye Yang traced the scroll with his fingertips, his gaze lingering on the words "rewards for meritorious service".

He understood the Dao Alliance's intentions.

They wanted to both gather strength and use the war to select the truly capable fighters, preventing resources from falling into the hands of cowards.

"In other words, if the Flying Heaven Sect can send out enough combat power, they can pay less or even no high-grade spirit stones?"

Yan Qingying asked, and the six-winged demonic corpse stood behind her, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in its corpse eyes.

Although the demonic corpse is not a cultivator, after repeated training, its combat power is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, so it can perhaps be included in this category.

"Exactly."

Jinshui Daoist nodded, "The Dao Alliance has built the 'Demon Suppression City' outside Black Wind Abyss, and urgently needs cultivators to guard it."

"If Daozu Ye can personally lead his cultivators to settle here, with your cultivation at the Refinement Void Realm, you alone can be worth 200,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Ye Yang pondered for a moment.

After the Flying Gate arrived in the Starry Sky Land.

Whether it's developing mineral veins, building up power, or developing the Thousand Islands, a large amount of spirit stones are needed.

The investments are only just beginning to show results, and 500,000 high-grade spirit stones are a burden.

But sending cultivators to participate in the war means facing the dangers of the demon race head-on.

Especially venturing deep into the heart of the demon realm is a perilous undertaking for many disciples.

Ye Yang put away the scroll, his tone calm and composed.

“Devouring the spiritual energy of other worlds is a good thing for us cultivators. However, this is a matter of great importance. Please allow me to discuss it with the sect elders for three days.”

"We will give the Dao Alliance a reply in three days."

Jinshui Daoren nodded.

"What the Dao Ancestor said is very true. The ascension of heaven and earth is related to the survival of the star field, as well as the progress of our cultivation."

"No one can remain unaffected. The Dao Alliance's message is—prepare early, and you will be able to stand firm in this chaotic world."

After the Taoist priest Jinshui left, the hall fell silent.

Gu Xuan looked at the warehouse ledgers, his brows furrowed.

"The sect has indeed been quite active lately. In a short time, we can only gather 300,000 high-grade spirit stones. I'm afraid the rest will have to be offset by battles."

"Going to war may not be a bad thing."

Ye Yang looked out the window, where the spiritual light of the water veins in the direction of Qiandao Lake intertwined with the protective mountain array.

"We've recruited quite a few new disciples over the years, but they don't have much practical experience."

"Currently, there are more than a dozen affiliated sects and families under the sect. The spiritual veins of Thousand Island Lake have just recovered, and the disciples' cultivation needs to be honed through actual combat."

"Master Renle was able to overcome the tribulation of lightning with his Buddha body, and my disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect may also be able to break through in a bloody battle. Experiencing a real battle can better help them grow."

He paused, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Moreover, the Dao Alliance is right. In this chaotic world of starry skies, only by holding enough power can we protect the Flying Heaven Sect and our sect."

Ye Yang put down the scroll and looked at Yan Qingying.

"This battle is dangerous. Both the Purple Enclosure Star Land and the Flying Heaven Gate headquarters need a Nascent Soul Dao Realm cultivator to oversee it."

"Junior Sister Yan, you will lead the demonic corpse to guard the rear. You must ensure that no trouble arises."

Three days later, news came from the Flying Heaven Gate.

Ye Daozu will personally lead a thousand cultivators, carrying the sect's Tongtian Spirit Ship, in response to the Dao Alliance's call.

The news sent shockwaves through all the major and minor sects of the Purple Palace Star Region.

Everyone knows that this is not only a response to the Dao Alliance's decree, but also the attitude that the Flying Heaven Sect is showing towards this matter.
