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

Inside the cave, which is hundreds of feet square, the walls are inlaid with layers of top-grade spiritual stones, stretching from the ground all the way to the dome.

The gathered spiritual energy almost condensed into white mist; inhaling it caused the spiritual power in the dantian to circulate on its own.

"The spiritual vein here is actually alive."

Ye Yang walked to the center of the cave, pressed his fingertips against the rock wall, and felt the spiritual energy flowing slowly within.

"The spirit stone mine here has not been mined much yet and is still growing slowly. As long as it is properly maintained and not over-maintained, it will be able to produce a continuous supply for thousands of years."

Qingyun Sanren then flew to the cave ceiling and looked at the colorful glass stones embedded in the stalactites.

There was a hint of surprise in his voice.

"These glass stones have absorbed the spiritual energy of the earth's veins and the essence of spirit stones, making them even more spiritually potent than recorded in ancient books."

"If it is used to refine a family heirloom, there is a chance that it will give birth to a spirit."

The two carefully explored the vein, from the entrance to the heart of the mine, from the left wall to the right cliff.

No detail is overlooked.

When he reached the deepest part of the cave, Ye Yang suddenly stopped and his gaze fell on an inconspicuous rock wall.

The stones there are a deeper color, with faint golden veins flowing through them.

He flicked his finger, and a beam of green light shot out, shattering the surface rock and revealing a spirit stone the size of a human head inside.

This spirit stone is golden yellow all over, and its spiritual energy is so rich that it almost drips down, compared to ordinary high-grade spirit stones.

"This is... Golden Pattern Spirit Marrow?"

Qingyun Sanren cried out in surprise.

"Legend has it that the ultimate form of a high-grade spirit stone is ten catties of Golden Pattern Spirit Marrow, which is equivalent to one top-grade spirit stone!"

Ye Yang held the Golden Pattern Spirit Marrow in his hand.

Feeling the immense spiritual energy within, a smile finally appeared on his lips.

"With this mineral vein, plus two spiritual roots of heaven and earth, we can finally stand firm in the Demon Realm."

Qingyun Sanren nodded repeatedly, his excitement barely concealed.

"In my estimation, the value of the spirit stones and associated minerals already formed in this cave alone exceeds the accumulated wealth of three sects over a hundred years."

"Not to mention the ever-growing spiritual veins and golden-patterned spiritual marrow, this island should be of utmost importance to us!"

Ye Yang took a deep breath, turned around and walked outside.

"Pass down the order to send an additional hundred cultivators to guard this island and set up the 'Nine Revolutions Spirit Gathering Array' to nourish the spiritual veins."

"The glass stone and the black iron essence will be jointly smelted by the weapon refiners of each sect, while the golden pattern spirit marrow will be sealed for the time being and will be distributed after the war stabilizes."

"That's how it should be."

Qingyun Sanren stroked his beard and smiled, the fear in his eyes having long since turned into agreement.

With such a strong foundation, the Dao Alliance's path of pioneering in the Demon Realm will undoubtedly be much smoother.

Just as Ye Yang and his group were opening up the spirit mine here.

the other side.

Deep within the Demon Realm Ocean, the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons is shrouded in black mist.

Twelve massive white bone pillars support the dome.

The vengeful spirits of demons coiled around the pillars let out mournful howls, making the atmosphere inside the hall even more sinister.

On the obsidian throne in the center of the hall sat a demon lord whose body was enveloped in blood-red demonic flames.

This person is the Blood Prison Demon Lord, who guards the Demon Clan's sea area.

On either side of the throne stood the Bone Prison Demon Lord and the Soul Devouring Demon Lord.

At this moment, in the quiet room.

The three were discussing something, and the pressure emanating from them was so strong that the air in the hall seemed to freeze.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

The Blood Prison Demon Lord, seated at the head of the table, slammed his hand on the armrest.

The bone spikes on the surrounding thrones instantly swelled, tearing several cracks in the surrounding black mist.

“These cultivators from other regions have been launching extremely fierce attacks recently.”

"The simultaneous advance on the east, south, and west lines allowed them to successively conquer three star bases."

"And in the eastern seas, even the Demon Lord of Annihilation died at their hands not long ago!"

The Bone Prison Demon Lord chuckled sinisterly, his voice like the grinding of bones. "Brother Blood Prison, calm down. The Annihilation Demon Lord was already weak; his death is not a pity."

"Those human cultivators are a bit strange. They were able to occupy Star Sea Demon Island in a short time and even set up a defensive array with the help of those two spiritual roots of heaven and earth. It seems they came prepared."

The Soul-Devouring Demon Lord toyed with a skull in his hand, its eye sockets flickering with eerie green flames.

"According to news from the front lines, there are several Void Refinement Realm cultivators among those human cultivators, and the leader is wielding a high-grade Dao artifact, so his strength should not be underestimated."

"What's more troublesome is that they seem to have found a high-grade spirit stone mine and have been mining it frantically these past few days, clearly intending to stay there for a long time."

"Long-term deployment?"

A hint of killing intent flashed in the Blood Prison Demon Lord's eyes.
"Humans have no right to run wild in my Blood Prison Demon Lord's territory!"

"But for some reason, the Central Royal Court has remained silent for some time now."

"Does he intend to watch the eastern borders be devoured by those demons?"

The Bone Prison Demon Lord shook his head.

"The Central Royal Court has always been wary of us local demon lords, and would love for us and the human race to suffer mutual destruction so that they can reap the benefits."

"It's understandable that they haven't reacted yet."

"So how do we respond?"

"The Soul-Devouring Demon Lord asked."

"If those humans are allowed to gain a foothold on Starsea Demon Island, they will become a major threat sooner or later."

The Blood Prison Demon Lord remained silent for a moment, a calculating glint in his eyes.

"In my opinion, it would be better to use a diversionary tactic."

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"

Both the Bone Prison Demon Lord and the Soul Devouring Demon Lord looked at him at the same time.

"good."

The Blood Prison Demon Lord curled his lips into a cold smile.

"The reason why those human cultivators were able to establish themselves on Star Sea Demon Island was simply because of those two spiritual roots of heaven and earth and that defensive array."

"We can send an elite force to launch a feigned attack on the coast of the East China Sea, drawing their main force to the Black Wind Forbidden Land."

The Soul-Devouring Demon Lord was somewhat puzzled.

"Black Wind Stronghold is extremely dangerous. Will they send their main force there?"

"Of course it's not worth it."

"That's what the Blood Prison Demon Lord explained."

“But we can have that elite force deliberately spread the word that the Black Wind Secret Realm contains countless treasures.”

“Those human cultivators are greedy by nature, they will surely take the bait.”

The Bone Prison Demon Lord clapped his hands and laughed.

"A brilliant plan! As long as their main force leaves Starsea Demon Island, the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals are no threat at all."

"We'll take this opportunity to send out experts to destroy their defensive array in one fell swoop and reclaim those two spiritual roots and the spirit stone mine!"

"Even if they see through our plan and refuse to send their main force,"

Blood Prison Demon Lord added.

"We can also take this opportunity to find out their strengths and weaknesses, and prepare for the subsequent general offensive."

"The coast of the East China Sea is an important line of defense for us. We must not let them succeed there."

The Soul-Devouring Demon Lord nodded in agreement.

"This is a great plan!"

The Blood Prison Demon Lord stood up, and the crimson demonic flames around him burned even more fiercely.

"Pass on my order: command Blood Demon General to lead five thousand Blood Demon Guards to set off immediately and launch a feigned attack on Black Wind Stronghold on the coast of the East Sea, making sure to draw the attention of those human cultivators there!"

"Yes!"

A respectful reply came from outside the hall.

The Blood Prison Demon Lord stared at the billowing black mist outside the palace, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"These cultivators from other realms think they can rest easy after occupying Star Sea Demon Island. They will definitely pay the price!"
