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

Ye Yang muttered to himself, and with a flick of his palm, a long sword, entirely crimson, appeared out of thin air.

The sword was covered with lotus-shaped patterns and was extremely sharp.

The slight tremor caused ripples to spread throughout the surrounding space.

It was the Taixu Red Lotus Sword.

This time, in the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sect's secret realm, Chen Hao obtained the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, so he used the Tai Xu Red Lotus Sword less often.

However, this item is a low-grade Dao artifact made by adding various precious materials such as deep-sea azurite and meteorite iron to the Red Maple Sword.

Its spirituality is astonishing, and its power is terrifying. If used properly, it could help Ziyuan Star resolve many crises.

At this moment, in the void, the Taixu Red Lotus Sword trembled slightly, as if sensing Ye Yang's determination.

The next moment, Ye Yang raised his hand and threw the Taixu Red Lotus Sword into the air.

The moment the longsword hovered in the air, Ye Yang pointed his fingers together like a sword, and azure-gold Dao power flowed from his fingertips.

Soon, the moment the sword hit the ground...

The protective array of the entire Ziyuan Starland suddenly lit up, and countless runes surged out from the light screen, converging towards the Taixu Red Lotus Sword like swimming fish.

"Buzz!"

The Taixu Red Lotus Sword suddenly burst forth with a dazzling red light, and the lotus patterns on its blade bloomed layer by layer.

In a short while, they transformed into burning red lotuses.

These red lotuses did not scatter, but instead, guided by the runes, merged into the light curtain of the Purple Enclosure Star Land Protector Array.

The light screen, which was originally purple, was instantly tinged with a warm crimson the moment the Taixu Red Lotus Sword appeared.

The runes and red lotus patterns on the entire light screen intertwined, forming a huge void red lotus Dharma image.

Ye Yang closed his eyes slightly and focused his consciousness into the core of the formation.

He could clearly sense that the Dao artifact essence of the Taixu Red Lotus Sword was merging with the spiritual veins beneath the great formation.

"Taking Dao artifacts as the root, spiritual veins as the trunk, and formations as the leaves..."

Ye Yang slowly opened his eyes, looking at the starland shrouded in the red lotus light curtain, a smile appearing on his lips.

Although the Taixu Red Lotus Sword is not as sharp as the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, it is superior in that it is balanced, peaceful, steady, and powerful.

If a Dharma Avatar Realm Master could activate it within the formation.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to break through the array's barrier in a short time.

As the last red lotus merged into the light screen, the entire Purple Enclosure Star seemed to tremble slightly.

At this moment, all the cultivators in the Purple Enclosure Star Region looked up.

Within the red light of the mountain-protecting array, the faint phantom of a giant sword could be seen descending from the sky and piercing the ground.

Beneath the sword's shadow, lotus blossoms bloomed, and for a moment even the surrounding air seemed to warm up.

Ye Yang landed at the top of the light screen, clapped his hands, and the lingering Dao power in his palms dissipated.

After doing all this, the tension in his heart finally dissipated, replaced by a sense of peace and security.

And just as the Taixu Red Lotus Sword took root in the array's core.

The entire Purple Enclosure Starfield seemed to have been smothered by a burning star.

On the light screen of the mountain-protecting array, crimson and purple hues intertwined to form a flowing river of light.

Countless phantom images of red lotuses floated and sank in the river of light, each petal unfurling to unleash a heat wave that swept across the heavens and earth.

Even the water vapor on Qiandao Lake was evaporated into a sky full of clouds.

"This is... a Dao artifact entering a formation?"

The elder of the Heavenly Craft Sect, who was polishing the Demon-Slaying Crossbow in the forge, put down his hammer and chisel and looked up at the sky.

The flames in the furnace suddenly surged three feet, echoing the red lotus on the light screen. The runes on the crossbow bolts lit up on their own, adding a touch of sharpness.

He reached out and touched the crossbow, his fingertips recoiling from the heat, but his eyes blazed with ecstasy.

"The spiritual energy flow of the formation has increased several times! With this formation in place, even if demons or monsters launch a surprise attack, we can hold out until reinforcements arrive!"

On the shores of Qiandao Lake, many fishermen were sorting through the rare fish around a campfire. Suddenly, steam rose from the lake, and the fluorescent aquatic creatures became scalding hot, with faint lotus patterns appearing on their scales.

The oldest fisherman stood up, leaning on his bamboo pole, and looked at the sword shadow that pierced the sky, tears welling up in his cloudy eyes.

"It's Daozu Ye... protecting us!"

On the terrace of the council hall, Yan Qingying gazed at the crimson lotus sword shadow suspended in mid-air, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the bone wings of the six-winged demon corpse.

The red light in the demon corpse's eyes reflected the crimson on the light screen, yet strangely, it restrained its ferocity, and a fine lotus-shaped frost pattern condensed on its bone wings.

"Using the Dao artifact as the array's core, weave the spiritual veins and the array together as one..."

She sighed softly.

"Senior brother's strength is getting stronger and stronger."

"This is a feat that even seasoned Void Refinement cultivators might not be able to accomplish. I need to work harder too."

Dao artifacts are rare.

Currently, there are only a few Flying Gates, and they are all very useful.

Since breaking through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, Yan Qingying has not possessed any Dao artifacts other than this demonic corpse.

At this moment, all the cultivators on the Ziyuan Star Plaza gathered around, their young faces filled with excitement.

Someone waved their arms, saying that when they were testing their swords in the training ground just now, the sword energy was able to attract the red lotus phantom in the sky.

Someone held up a newly cultivated spiritual seed, saying that the seed had sprouted prematurely in the heatwave.

Someone in the crowd shouted first, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor!"

Immediately afterwards, a wave of thanks swept across the square, startling the birds on the eaves into flight, their clear chirps echoing under the red lotus light curtain.

Ye Yang then arrived at the Demon Suppression City.

The Demon Suppression City was a giant city specially built by the Dao Alliance for their invasion of the Demon World.

It floats on the edge of the gale layer of the Taixu Dao Sect star land, and is made entirely of black iron mixed with star sand.

Today.

Inside the void harbor outside the city gate, various spiritual lights intertwined, and cultivators came and went in an endless stream.

This afternoon.

Three streaks of light, trailing long tails, came from the distant star belt and transformed into three cultivators dressed in Taoist robes upon landing.

The leader, holding a whisk, was Chisongzi of the Danxia Sect. As soon as he stood firm, he bowed to the two people beside him.

"Master Xuanshui and Fairy Yunmiao, I never expected to meet you here."

Xuan Shui Dao Ren stroked his beard and smiled.

"Fellow Daoist Chishongzi, you've also come for the Pioneer Conference? I heard that your sect has even unsealed its most treasured 'Crimson Cloud Treasure Ship' for this battle?"

Fairy Yunmiao covered her lips and chuckled softly. Several spirit butterflies flew out from her sleeves and fluttered on the light screen of the Void Harbor.

"Danxia Sect is rich and powerful, unlike our Misty Peak, which can only muster thirty True Immortal cultivators. Fellow Daoist Xuan Shui, if your sect's 'Mysterious Heaven Array Plate' could be showcased at the meeting, it would likely be requisitioned by the Dao Alliance in large numbers."

As the three were chatting and laughing, a commotion suddenly broke out not far away.

A streak of cyan-gold sword energy pierced through the light gate in the void, instantly condensing into a giant sword phantom in mid-air.

A blue dragon coiled on the sword, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.

"This sword intent... is so domineering!"

"It seems to have some resemblance to the already destroyed Sky-Splitting Sword Sect."

Chisongzi's whisk suddenly tightened.

"Currently, in the cultivation world, besides those few reclusive old monsters, who possess such sword power, could it be...?"

Before the words were finished, a figure in a green robe stepped out from the sword light.

"It's Ye Daozu, the master of both swords and sabers!" (End of Chapter)
