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

“What the two Dao Ancestors said makes sense, but I also have some opinions.”

"The demon race has lost its power, but there are still many remnants of demonic cultivators."

"Why not select cultivators from the Dao Alliance and various races to form an exploration team and thoroughly clear this area?"

"It can both break through restrictions and prevent traps."

"In addition, the captured demon remnants can be taken out of the star field in batches and distributed to the participating forces as slaves to develop mineral resources."

"This can also increase the efficiency of mineral mining."

He had just finished making his suggestion.

The Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor, standing in front of everyone, nodded in agreement.

"Fellow Daoist Ye's plan is excellent. In that case, our Nine Heavens Sect is willing to send a Refinement Void Dao Ancestor to stay behind."

"Five more array masters will be dispatched to assist in the investigation."

The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal put away the array diagram in his hand.

“That’s right, I had the same idea. Since everyone agrees, let’s proceed with this plan.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and took out a golden scroll from his storage artifact.

With just a gentle shake, the scroll floated in the center of the secret realm and then transformed into a light screen about ten feet wide.

On the light screen, densely packed characters slowly emerged.

This is the contribution point ranking and list of exchangeable treasures for this Demon Realm War.

"Fellow Daoists, please take a look. This is a list of the contribution points and exchange records of the major sects in this great battle."

The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal pointed at the light screen, his voice clearly echoing throughout the secret realm.

"Contribution points are calculated based on the cultivation level of the demonic cultivators killed by the major sects, the number of demonic nests cleared, and the number of cultivators rescued."

“Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm and above have separate contribution points, which are not tied to the sect's contribution points.”

"The treasures available for exchange here include elixirs, magical artifacts, cultivation techniques, and the right to use spiritual veins. You may view them for yourselves."

Everyone looked up at the light screen, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Ye Yang also looked intently and saw that the names of the participating cultivators and forces were listed on the left side of the light screen, and the corresponding contribution points were on the right side.

He quickly found his name on the list.

"Ye Yang, a master of both swords and sabers: killed two demonic cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm, led the clearing of seven demonic nests, and directly rescued 223 cultivators. Contribution points: 86,000."

There is also a sect ranking list, which is written on it.

"The Flying Heaven Gate has made outstanding contributions, guarding the Demon Sea and later supporting the Central Region. Its achievements are remarkable. It is hereby granted 280,000 contribution points."

This is the result of the joint efforts of all cultivators in the sect.

This number far exceeded his expectations, although it was not the highest among all the sects.

But it should at least be in the top twenty.

Ye Yang was overjoyed upon seeing this.

He had previously heard that exchanging a low-grade Dao artifact required 50,000 contribution points.

He currently has over 80,000 contribution points, enough to exchange for a mid-grade Dao artifact.

There might even be quite a bit left.
The right side of the light screen displays a list of redeemable treasures.

"Dragon Blood Bronze Fragments can help cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm break through bottlenecks, worth 100,000 contribution points."

"Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, a holy medicine for healing, is effective for cultivators above the Nascent Soul Dao Realm. It can repair damage to the source and requires 30,000 contribution points."

"Thunder Pattern Armor, a low-grade Dao artifact, with extremely strong defense and containing the power of thunder, requires 30,000 contribution points."

"Supplement to the Zhou Tian Xing He Secret Manual, complete Daoist inheritance, requires 60,000 contribution points."

"The Primordial Spirit Pill is a superior elixir that helps cultivators break through to the Primordial Spirit Dao Realm. It costs 60,000 contribution points per pill, and each faction is only allowed to exchange for a maximum of three."

In addition, Ye Yang also saw the ten-year mining rights for spirit mines in the Demon Realm on it.

In short, every item that appears on the list is a top-tier treasure.

Each treasure is incredibly tempting.

In particular, the Primordial Spirit Pill Fruit can help a Dharma Aspect True Person break through to the Primordial Spirit Dao Realm, making it extremely precious.

For many forces...

If someone in the sect could break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, then the lineage could be preserved and never perished.

Therefore, this item is, to a certain extent, rarer than many other magical artifacts.

Seeing the eagerness in everyone's eyes, the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor added with a smile.

"There is no time limit for this exchange; you may come to exchange at any time. In addition, contribution points can be accumulated and used, or given to fellow disciples. You may decide for yourselves."

When everyone heard this, they started talking about it.

Some were figuring out how to exchange for treasures, while others were discussing with their fellow disciples how to share contribution points to exchange for more valuable resources.

Ye Yang exchanged a few words with Dao Ancestor Mu Yun beside him, and after the meeting ended, he flew towards the temporary residence of the Flying Heaven Sect.

The Flying Gate's headquarters are located in a valley in the eastern part of the Demon Realm's center.

Dozens of simple wooden houses have been built in the valley.

The surviving Flying Heaven Sect cultivators were busy healing their wounds and sorting through their spoils of war.

As soon as Ye Yang landed, disciples came forward to greet him and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

Ye Yang nodded in acknowledgment and walked straight toward his wooden house.

After entering the wooden house, he took out a communication jade talisman and transmitted the contents of the list and exchange list to Gu Xuan.

He then sat down at the wooden table and took out a blank jade slip.

Record your contribution points and the treasures that interest you on the list, and study them carefully.

"Although I have a lot of contribution points this time, I am still 14,000 points short of exchanging for Dragon Blood Bronze Fragments."

"It seems the only way is to transfer the contribution points through the sect and try to accumulate enough points as soon as possible to break through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm."

"Furthermore, this Primordial Spirit Pill Fruit must be exchanged no matter what."

Ye Yang muttered to himself, drawing a circle next to the name of the Primordial Spirit Pill.

As for the Thunder Pattern Armor, although it was a low-grade Dao artifact, it wasn't really necessary for him.

He had previously acquired a suit of armor in the star field, but hadn't used it much.

We don't have enough contribution points to begin with, so there's no need to waste time on such a magical artifact.

He was calculating the contribution points.

"If I add my 86,000 contribution points, that would be 360,000 contribution points."

"It takes 60,000 points to exchange for a Yuan Shen Pill. The remaining 26,000 points can be used to exchange for some healing pills or inheritances that the Flying Heaven Sect does not have, to help the Flying Heaven Sect further develop its foundation."

Just as Ye Yang was pondering, there was a knock on the door outside the wooden house, followed by Gu Xuan's voice.

"Dao Ancestor, I have finished organizing the dragon scales I have collected."

Ye Yang put away the jade slip and spoke.

"come in."

"A total of thirty-five complete dragon scales and more than one hundred broken dragon scales were collected this time. All of them have been sealed with restrictions and can be used to refine Dao artifacts or strengthen the sect's protective mountain formation."

Ye Yang opened the jade box and looked at the golden dragon scales inside, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Well done. You can keep these dragon scales for now. They will be distributed together with the treasures you exchanged for contribution points after we return to the sect."

Gu Xuan nodded in response, his originally cheerful expression instantly turning serious.

"...In this battle against the Demon Realm, our Flying Heaven Sect suffered heavy losses."

"Three elders at the Purple Mansion Realm died in battle while guarding the Spirit Island, and the heads of the Li and Zhang families, who were subordinates, also perished in the battle against the Demon General."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Ye Yang's face vanished instantly. He remained silent for a moment, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the jade box on the table, before slowly speaking.

"Patriarch Li is skilled in formations and has reinforced the sect's protective formations three times."

"Patriarch Zhang is an expert in talismans. Before this expedition, he drew more than a hundred thunder and fire talismans for his disciples... They are all heroes of the Flying Heaven Sect."

As he spoke, Ye Yang's gaze drifted to the window, as if he could see those figures fighting bloody battles on the battlefield.

After a long while, he finally withdrew his gaze, his tone firm.
"After returning to the sect, we will build cenotaphs for the elders and patriarchs who died in battle."

"Their achievements will be recorded in the sect's history books, and their family members will have priority to enter the sect's library to select cultivation techniques. The sect will fully support their growth."

"That is indeed the case!"

Just as Gu Xuan was about to leave, Ye Yang suddenly called out to him.

"Wait here, let me see your injuries."

Gu Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this, then cupped his hands in response.

"Thank you for your help, Daoist Ancestor."

After saying that, he stretched out his right arm, which had been broken, and took off his sleeve.

The once gruesome wound has mostly healed, and the new skin has a faint pink hue.

However, a few shallow scars can still be seen, which are traces of demonic erosion.

Ye Yang raised his hand and placed it on Gu Xuan's arm, slowly injecting a gentle stream of spiritual energy.

He could clearly feel that although the spiritual power in Gu Xuan's body was still somewhat sluggish, the source in his dantian had become much more stable.

In particular, the meridians at the severed arm are being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye, nourished by the dragon's blood and scales.

"Recovering well."

Ye Yang withdrew his hand, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

"That dragon's body has grown for countless years in the Demon Realm. This time, it was cut off by the two seniors, and its essence and blood fell. This should be our opportunity."

"The effects of this dragon blood and dragon scales far exceed expectations. You will be completely healed in less than a month."

Gu Xuan felt a warmth in his heart and was about to express his gratitude when Ye Yang changed the subject, his tone becoming somewhat solemn.

"I have seen your efforts in this battle of the Demon Realm. You not only risked your life to protect your fellow disciples, but also fought bravely against the enemy."

"The Dao Alliance has now given the sect 280,000 contribution points. I plan to use some of these points to exchange for a Yuan Shen Pill to help you break through to the Yuan Shen Dao Realm."

The benefits of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm to a sect are obvious.

If Yan Qingying hadn't broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and been able to guard the rear of the sect, Ye Yang would never have dared to lead a large army into the Demon Realm.

If Gu Xuan could break through to the Yuan Shen Dao Realm again.

The last weakness of the Flying Gate will be addressed, and then there will be no more worries.

"I am old, and this...this Primordial Spirit Pill is far too precious. I am not worthy of it..."

"Sect Leader, don't be modest. You deserve it."

Ye Yang interrupted him, his tone firm.

"You have charged ahead in the Demon Realm many times, making great contributions to the Flying Heaven Sect. This is what you deserve. Prepare well, and when you return to the sect, I will protect you and help you break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm."

Gu Xuan let out a breath.

"I will certainly dedicate myself to the Flying Heaven Sect!"

Ye Yang helped him up and said with a smile.

"Get up. This is an opportunity you earned yourself. However, we still need to discuss one thing."

He handed the jade slip on the table to Gu Xuan.

"Look, the contribution points of the Dao Alliance can not only be exchanged for high-level resources, but also for pills and cultivation techniques suitable for low-level disciples."

"Although the Flying Heaven Sect suffered considerable casualties this time, these 300,000 contribution points are the result of the joint efforts of all the disciples of the sect."

"However, it would be too wasteful to use these contribution points to exchange for low-grade spiritual materials. I plan to exchange them all for high-grade spiritual materials."

"However, we cannot favor one over the other. These disciples are all elites who have experienced the flames of war. If we can reward them, it will not only appease their hearts but also encourage them to grow faster."

Gu Xuan took the jade slip, carefully examined it, and gradually a look of approval appeared in his eyes.

"What the Dao Ancestor said is absolutely right. The lower-level disciples also paid a heavy price this time, especially the young disciples who had just entered the sect. Many of them, although only at the Martial Realm, dared to fight against the demonic cultivators."

"If we can reward them, it will surely make them even more loyal to the sect."

"That's what I thought too."

Ye Yang nodded.

"I plan to take spirit stones and healing pills from the sect's treasury as rewards and distribute them to the surviving disciples. What do you think?"

Gu Xuan quickly agreed.

"The Dao Ancestor has considered everything carefully! This way, not only can we appease the lower-level disciples, but we can also improve their cultivation and enhance the overall strength of the Flying Heaven Sect."

"I will go and compile a list of the surviving disciples and their achievements to ensure that the rewards are distributed fairly."

Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you."

After Gu Xuan left, Ye Yang picked up the jade slip again, having already made up his mind.

He combined his 86,000 personal contribution points with the sect's 280,000 contribution points and solemnly wrote down the exchange list on the jade slip.

"The Dragon Blood Bronze Fragment requires 100,000 points, three Yuan Shen Pills require 180,000 points, and one Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill requires 30,000 points."

I just used up all 366,000 contribution points.

One of the Yuan Shen Pills was given to Gu Xuan, and the other was kept for the sect's future use.

After all, you can never have too much of this kind of thing.

If possible, try to help Huo Bing Shuang break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as well.
As for the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, it is used to treat severely injured cultivators.

The supplement to the Zhou Tian Xing He Secret Manual can fill the gaps in the sect's cultivation techniques. As for the Dragon Blood Bronze Fragment, it is the key to his breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm.

After confirming the exchange list, Ye Yang put away the jade slip and flew towards the central secret chamber in the heart of the Demon Realm.

The central secret chamber is where the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor and the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal temporarily handle affairs.

At this moment, there were two cultivators guarding the secret room. Upon seeing Ye Yang arrive, they quickly bowed and paid their respects.

"Greetings, Dao Ancestor!"

Ye Yang nodded in acknowledgment and pushed open the door to enter.

Inside the secret chamber, the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor was sitting at a stone table, looking through a file. When he saw him enter, he put down the file and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, your arrival is timely. I was just about to discuss the details of the exploration of the Demon Clan Starfield with you."

"You're too kind, Dao Ancestor."

Ye Yang bowed and handed over the completed exchange list.

"I have come here to exchange for the treasures on the list. I humbly request that you, Dao Ancestor, take a look."

The Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor took the list, looked at it carefully, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"You actually want to exchange for Dragon Blood Bronze Fragments? This item requires 100,000 contribution points. It seems you're planning to break through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm."

"Exactly."

Ye Yang said frankly.

"Although the Demon Realm is at peace, there are still unknown risks in the future of the Demon Starfield. If I can break through my realm, I can better contribute to the Dao Alliance."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor's eyes revealed approval.

"Good! With your sense of responsibility, why worry about the world being in turmoil! You killed two Void Refinement Demon Cultivators and cleared several demon nests; you deserve this opportunity."

After saying that, the Nine Heavens Dao Ancestor raised his hand and took out the corresponding treasure from his storage artifact.
