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

Immediately afterwards, a giant, pure white sword suddenly materialized in the sky.

The spine of the sword is wrapped with pale blue lotus patterns.

As it was swung, an invisible phantom of a blue lotus bloomed, instantly breaking through the black snow mist!
"It's the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal!"

Ye Yang looked up.

All that could be seen was the distant sky.

A lean and tall figure rode in on a sword.

The man wore a pristine blue robe, its hem fluttering in the wind, and his brows carried an air of serene ethereal beauty.

However, a pale blue lotus phantom always lingered around the sword.

He made no extra movements, simply raising his hand and gently slashing at the demonic claw.

"Shh!"

The gleaming white giant sword, carrying the phantom image of a blue lotus, was like a light piercing through the darkness.

In an instant, it cleaved the hundreds-of-foot-long demonic claw in two.

Black demonic blood spurted out and landed on the icy plain, making a sizzling, corrosive sound.

The demon in the sky let out a shrill scream.

Immediately afterwards, a three-headed, six-armed demonic figure fell from the clouds.

"Human cultivators dare to interfere in the affairs of my Demon Realm!"

The demon roared, swinging all six arms simultaneously, unleashing countless black demonic flames towards the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.

The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal remained calm, lightly tapping his wooden sword, and thousands of azure lotus phantoms instantly bloomed around him, blocking all the demonic flames.

Immediately afterwards, he moved and appeared behind the demon as if by teleportation. The moment the wooden sword was unleashed, the luminous white giant sword condensed once more.

This time, the lotus pattern on the sword was even clearer.

With the righteous intent of "slaying demons and eliminating evil," the sword pierced straight at the demon's brow.

"No!"

The demon let out a final, desperate roar, trying to escape into the demonic energy, but was firmly locked in place by the sword intent of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.

The gleaming white giant sword pierced through the demon's body, tearing it to pieces and shattering it completely.

The dense demonic energy dissipated like a tide, swept away by the blizzard and vanished into the sky.

After defeating the demon, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal did not linger.

He glanced down at the outpost below.

Then, he rose on his sword, his figure gradually merging into the clouds.

Only a clear, melodious sword cry and a faint fragrance of lotus remained in the air.

The sky returned to its leaden gray color, but the oppressive demonic aura had vanished without a trace.

Ye Yang and Qingyun Sanren breathed a sigh of relief. They exchanged a glance and saw a hint of shock and awe in each other's eyes.

"This is the power of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal..."

Qingyun Sanren muttered to himself.

"Even a demon at the Tribulation Realm couldn't withstand more than a few sword strikes from him."

Ye Yang nodded, his heart filled with emotion.

"It seems that the seniors of the Dao Alliance have already made their move in secret, which gives us more confidence in fighting against the Demon Clan."

"However... the appearance of this demon probably also means that the Demon Realm headquarters is acting faster than we imagined."

Master Xuanqing's expression was solemn.

"Indeed. This demon is clearly targeting the Dao Alliance cultivators. It seems we must expedite the clearing of the surrounding demon lairs and prepare for a large-scale offensive."

Then, only a few days had passed since the lingering power of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal slayed the demon.

The snowstorm in the Demon Sea had just stopped three days ago.

A message talisman from the Dao Alliance was rushed into Ye Yang's hands.

The spiritual energy fluctuations on the communication talisman were rapid, and when unfolded, a line of clear characters was revealed.

"Fellow Daoists, the front-line army has assembled and is preparing to advance towards the center of the Demon Realm. We need the elite troops from each outpost to provide support and jointly destroy the Demon Nest."

Ye Yang immediately convened a meeting with Qingyun Sanren.

Inside the council chamber, candlelight flickered.

Everyone stared at the contents of the communication talisman, their expressions varying.

Ye Yang spoke first. "The center of the Demon Realm is the lair of the Nine Nether Saint Venerable. The fact that the Dao Alliance has gathered such a large army this time must mean that they have noticed the unusual movements of the Demon Clan and want to take advantage of the situation to severely damage the main force of the Demon Clan."

"However, the road ahead is fraught with danger, and the supporting forces must be elite to keep up with the pace of the front."

Qingyun Sanren tapped his fingers on the table and pondered.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, I'll take one-third of the cultivators at the Purple Mansion Realm or above to provide support. How about you stay behind to guard the rear?"

"After all, the Yin-Yang Demon-Locking Array, spiritual veins, and herb garden all need someone to guard them so that the rear can be stable and the front lines can be free from worries."

Ye Yang knew that Qingyun Sanren had been in the Refining Void Realm for many years but could not break through.

This time, he volunteered to go to the front line in order to obtain more demon resources and rewards from the Dao Alliance, so as to break through his cultivation level.

He nodded in agreement, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

“Fellow Daoist Qingyun is absolutely right. Since you are willing to lead people deep into the Demon Realm, then I will guard the rear. However…”

He paused, recalling the demonic power that the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal possessed when slaying the demon, a power far exceeding that of the Void Refinement Realm.

"You must be careful on your journey. The demon in the center of the Demon Realm is extremely powerful. If you encounter a situation where you cannot defeat him, do not fight him head-on. Send a message for help immediately."

The next morning, Qingyun Sanren set off with a carefully selected group of cultivators.

The crimson flying boat rose into the morning light, the sun patterns on its hull shining brightly, and gradually disappeared in the direction of the center of the Demon Realm.

Ye Yang stood under the Fusang tree, watching the flying boat disappear into the distance. Although he had some concerns, he also understood the importance of this trip.

Only by defeating the main force of the demon race can the Dao Alliance's plan be considered complete.

However, the calm did not last long.

Five days after Qingyun Sanren left, Ye Yang received an urgent report from the patrol team.

Within the Demon Sea, numerous demons appeared, their movements erratic and unpredictable.

They didn't seem like independent cultivators; rather, they appeared to be an organized reconnaissance team.

“Master, while patrolling the eastern side of the Demon Sea, we discovered at least ten groups of demon cultivators, each group consisting of about fifty people. They are powerful and extremely secretive in their actions.”

"If we hadn't set up a 'stealth array' beforehand, we wouldn't have been able to find them at all."

Huo Bing Shuang knelt on one knee, her tone urgent.

"Moreover, they seem to be exploring the location of the spirit vein mine and the herb garden. Two teams have even reached the edge of the Yin-Yang Demon Locking Array."

"If the formation hadn't automatically triggered its defenses, it probably would have already infiltrated the base."

Ye Yang's face instantly darkened.

He walked to the sand table and traced his fingertips across the area on the east side of the Demon Sea.

That was the location of the spirit vein mine and its associated herb garden, as well as the temporary camp where the survivors of Blackrock City were settled.

"These demons are probably trying to take advantage of the weakness in our rear to launch a surprise attack on our spirit mines."

He said solemnly.

"Frost, immediately take people to the spirit vein mine to strengthen the defenses. Make sure to protect the mine and prevent the demons from destroying it."

"Valley Master of Hundred Flowers, go to the herb garden and transfer rare medicinal herbs such as Netherworld Purple Ganoderma to the main base. At the same time, reinforce the 'Warm Sun Array' in the herb garden to prevent demons from launching a sneak attack."

"At the same time, set up an 'early warning array' around the camp to immediately alert if any demons approach."

"Follow the order!"

The people Ye Yang pointed out responded in unison, immediately turned around and left to mobilize manpower to set up defenses.

Just then, a red light flashed across the distant sky.
"It's an early warning coming from the direction of the spirit vein mine!"

"These demons found the location of the spiritual vein so quickly."

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.

"It seems they've already made their move."

He said to the people around him.

"You guard the camp, I'm going to check out the spirit vein mine."

After saying that, Ye Yang transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the direction of the spirit vein mine.

Looking into the distance, black demonic flames had already ignited above the spirit vein mine.

Huo Bing Shuang was leading a group of cultivators in a fierce battle against the demons.

Black demonic energy intertwined with sword energy, and the sounds of fighting and screams echoed throughout the demonic sea.

"master!"

A hint of joy flashed in Huo Bing Shuang's eyes when she saw Ye Yang arrive. (End of Chapter)
