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

"hateful!"

He slammed the bone spear down hard, then led the remaining troops into the deep sea.

At this moment, on the East Sea of ​​the Demon Realm.

The setting sun, like blood, illuminated the devastated outline of Starsea Demon Island.

The gap in the Yin-Yang Demon-Locking Array located between the Fusang Tree and the Laurel Tree is almost fully repaired.

But the broken runes were still hissing.

Ye Yang and Qingyun Sanren stood low in the air, the sea breeze carrying a faint smell of blood, and both of them had a solemn expression on their faces.

"The demons who have come today are no ordinary demonic cultivators from the sea."

Qingyun Sanren spoke first, his fingertips twirling a blood-red scale he had picked up from the battlefield.

"Although that Blood Demon General is only at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, his cooperation with his many Blood Demon Guards and his fearless spirit far exceeded our expectations."

"Not to mention the Void Refining Demon Cultivator hidden in the black mist, whose methods are bizarre, clearly an ancestor of the demon race."

"and."

He frowned as if he had thought of something, and continued speaking.

"I have a feeling that there are still some demonic experts at the Void Refinement Realm hiding in the surrounding darkness, not making a move."

Ye Yang nodded, raised his head, and glanced at the direction of several star islands in the distance.

The defensive array there was noticeably dimmer.

"It seems that many demons in the East Sea region have noticed our actions."

"The days ahead are unlikely to be peaceful."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Huo Bing Shuang and an elder from the Qingyun Sect hurried over.

Both of them held a scroll of bamboo slips in their hands.

The damage from the attack was meticulously recorded on it.

"Master, Senior Qingyun"

Huo Bing Shuang's voice was slightly hoarse.

"The demons have retreated. This time, after taking stock, we found that seventeen of the core array flags of the Yin-Yang Demon Locking Array were damaged, and it will take three months to repair them to their original state."

"The defensive arrays of the three star islands on the east side were breached, resulting in the loss of about 30% of the ore and 237 casualties among the cultivators."

"Half of the Netherworld Purple Mushrooms on the western Spirit Medicine Island have been destroyed, and more than sixty disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley have been killed or injured..."

She paused, her tone softening slightly.

"However, there were also gains. More than 300 Blood Demon Guards were captured, including three leaders at the True Person realm, who have been handed over to the interrogation masters."

"In addition, during the cleanup of the battlefield, we discovered dozens of special reanimated corpses. After studying them, we may be able to find a way to counter them."

An elder from the Qingyun Sect added.

"Although our sect suffered losses on the star island it was stationed on, we also killed two demon generals and seized a batch of demonic artifacts, which are currently being inventoried."

Upon hearing this, Qingyun Sanren frowned even more deeply.

"The star islands are too scattered, making it difficult to coordinate them. If the demons launch another surprise attack, it will be impossible to defend against."

"In my opinion, it would be better to disperse our forces to various islands, strengthen their defenses, and make them mutually support each other. Only in this way can we hold these resource points."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yang traced the outline of the star islands in the air with his fingertips.

“What Fellow Daoist Qingyun said is indeed reasonable. However, although the Demon Clan’s vanguard has retreated this time, its main force has not been lost and it has many experts.”

"Our forces are already limited. If we disperse them to various islands, it may seem like we can cover everything, but in reality, the strength of each point will be weakened."

"Once the demons concentrate their elite forces to attack one point, the other islands will not be able to come to the rescue in time and will probably be defeated one by one, repeating the same mistake as today."

"Then, in Fellow Daoist Ye's opinion, what should be done?"

"When united, they are strong; when scattered, they are weak."

"The most urgent task is to consolidate the defensive line and concentrate the main force on Star Sea Demon Island and the main island where the spirit stone mine is located, and build a deep defense with the Yin-Yang Demon Locking Array as the core."

"The remaining star islands only need to leave a small number of scouts. Once attacked, they should immediately send a message so that our main force can rush to their aid. Only in this way can we form a powerful force to fight back."

After a moment of silence and contemplation, Qingyun Sanren had to admit that Ye Yang's considerations were more comprehensive.

However, this would mean that resource extraction on those star islands would have to come to a standstill, resulting in significant losses.

Just as the two were deliberating.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Ye Yang's eyes as he looked at Qingyun Sanren.

“Fellow Daoist, the Demon Clan has come with great force this time. If we do not inflict heavy damage on them, they will surely become a major threat in the future.” “I do have a plan. We can launch a surprise attack on the main force of the Demon Clan, aiming to kill them in one blow and deter their courage.”

"Oh? What plan?"

Qingyun Sanren became interested.

"Fellow Daoist, have you perhaps forgotten your sect's most treasured artifact, the 'Azure Sky Divine Thunder Mirror'?"

Ye Yang said slowly.

"This treasure contains the power of thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, which is specifically used to suppress evil and demonic energy. If we can place it at the core of the Yin-Yang Demon Locking Array and then activate it with our Void Refining Power to draw upon the spiritual energy of the Star Sea Demon Island's earth veins, it will surely unleash a thunderous pillar."

"Enough to severely injure that hidden Void Refinement Demon Cultivator, and even dismantle its main force."

Upon hearing this, Qingyun Sanren's expression changed slightly.

"That's true, but the Azure Sky Divine Thunder Mirror is a treasure passed down through the Azure Sky Sect for ten thousand years. Although it is powerful, each activation requires a massive amount of spiritual energy."

"Moreover, this treasure is a special form between talismans and Daoist magic, and it has a limited number of uses. It is rarely used unless it is a matter of life and death."

He hesitated, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ye, this treasure is the foundation of our sect. Using it..."

Seeing his hesitation, Ye Yang immediately raised his hand.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword suddenly appeared in his hand, with an azure dragon phantom coiling around its blade, radiating a powerful aura of a high-grade Dao artifact.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I will be using the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword in this operation. This sword contains the power to split the heavens and is a top-grade Dao artifact, which can complement the Azure Sky Divine Thunder Mirror."

"It can both amplify our power and reduce the consumption of spiritual energy. If we advance and retreat together, we will surely defeat the invading enemy in one fell swoop!"

Qingyun Sanren looked at the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword in Ye Yang's hand and felt its power, which was no less than that of the Azure Sky Divine Thunder Mirror.

Thinking of the arrogance of the demons and the losses suffered by Star Island today, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

The next moment, he slapped his thigh hard.

"Very well! Fellow Daoist Ye is so straightforward, I will not hesitate any longer!"

“In that case, we will follow your plan and use the Azure Sky Divine Thunder Mirror! If we can defeat them sooner, we can obtain the demon resources sooner and return to the cultivation world.”

The agreement has been reached.

Ye Yang and Qingyun Sanren immediately set off.

Both of them were Void Refinement cultivators, and their speed was extremely fast.

They quickly began a thorough exploration of the waters surrounding Starsea Demon Island.

The water mirror of the Golden Sun Breaking Illusion Formation floated in Ye Yang's palm, reflecting the terrain within a hundred miles in exquisite detail.

"The sea here is wide open, and the demon army can split up and outflank us. This is not advisable."

Qingyun Sanren also looked at the shimmering sea in the mirror world, his brows furrowed slightly.

Although there are several small islands there, they are too far apart to form an encirclement.

next moment.

With a flick of his finger, Ye Yang caused the scene in the water mirror to rapidly change, eventually settling on a narrow area of ​​the sea.

Here, steep black islands rise on both sides, and the waterway in the middle is only wide enough for three spirit ships to pass side by side.

The seabed is riddled with reefs, and a faint miasma permeates the surface year-round.

It is a natural place suitable for an ambush.

"Fellow Daoist, please look here."

Ye Yang pointed to the entrance of the waterway.

"The islands on both sides can be used to hide troops, and the waterway is narrow. Once the demon army enters, it will be difficult to deploy its formation, and it can only move from one end to the other."

"If we set up a large formation here, we can definitely trap it firmly."

Qingyun Sanren bent down to examine it closely, and his eyes gradually revealed a look of approval.

"At the end of the waterway is a shallow beach, where the demons have nowhere to retreat or advance, making it an excellent place."

"However, the earth's veins here are chaotic, so it may be difficult to draw out enough spiritual energy."

"Our Flying Heaven Sect has a Zhou Tian Star Dou Zhen Yue Grand Formation that can absorb star power to operate. This Demon World is extremely close to the starry sky, so it can completely absorb the starlight from the starry sky and arrange the formation."

Ye Yang smiled slightly and took out a jade slip, handing it to Qingyun Sanren.

"This formation does not rely on the earth's veins, but instead uses the power of the sun, moon, and stars as a guide, supplemented by the power of two great artifacts, to attract the yin and yang energy of those two spiritual roots of heaven and earth."

"It may be able to condense Yin and Yang energies on its own and generate thunder and tribulation fire."
