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

As Ye Yang watched the figure of the Sun-Chasing Flying Turtle sink into the sea, he condensed a light blue spiritual power at his fingertips and probed towards the spiritual light barrier around the flying turtle.

The moment the spiritual energy made contact, a powerful and domineering force was felt.

That power contained both the scorching heat of sunlight unique to the bloodline of the Heavenly Gang Sun-Chasing Turtle, and an indescribable calm and weight.

Its aura was several times stronger than that of an ordinary Heavenly Gang cultivator.

"It has already approached the Dharma Aspect Realm."

A look of surprise flashed in Ye Yang's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

The Dharma Aspect True Man is a top-tier combatant in the cultivation world. An ordinary sect would be able to stand firm with just one such person. Now that the Sun-Chasing Flying Turtle is approaching this level, it undoubtedly adds an indestructible barrier to the Flying Heaven Sect.

Moreover, compared to ordinary Dharma-image True Persons.

The Flying Turtle that chases the sun is enormous and can fly in the sky, dive into the earth, and swim in rivers and seas. If it were to unleash its full power, its strength would far surpass that of an ordinary Dharma Aspect Real Person.

In the future, if the Flying Turtle leaves this deep-sea azurite mine, the Flying Heaven Sect can still build formations and inscribe talisman arrays on its back.

This enormous flying tortoise chasing the sun is like a flexible, celestial vessel, capable of unleashing power far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

The Three Dream Demon King stepped forward, lightly tapping his palm with his folding fan, and jokingly teased.

"Brother Ye, you are very fortunate. This sacred beast is now strong enough to easily suppress half of the veteran cultivators in the cultivation world."

"After some more time, once its realm is completely stabilized, it might be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm."

“A giant beast like this, possessing the bloodline of an ancient beast, once it breaks through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, its strength and the role it can play will probably far exceed the imagination of ordinary people.”

"At that time, the Flying Gate's prestige will reach a new level."

The Dragon King nodded in agreement.

"The Heavenly Sun-Chasing Turtle already possessed the potential to support the lives of a region. Now that its strength has improved, in the event of a great battle in the future, it can both charge into battle and protect the disciples of the sect. It is truly a divinely bestowed assistance."

Ye Yang withdrew the azure light emanating from his body, turned around, and smiled.

"Thanks to the gains from the trip to the Demon Realm, and thanks to the two of you for coming today, otherwise I'm afraid I would have to stay here alone until it stabilizes its realm."

"Let's go, it's been many years since we last met, let's go and try the Dragon Lord's fine tea."

After saying that.

The three of them flew side by side toward the sea, and in an instant they arrived at a water palace in the East China Sea.

Ye Yang nodded and glanced at it, seeing what was written on it.

"The Dragon Lord's Palace of the Heavenly Water Realm!"

This is not the actual Heavenly Water Dragon Palace.

Instead, it happened after the Dragon King and the Three Dream Demon Kings moved to the cultivation world.

A secret realm created with a century of painstaking effort.

Everywhere you look, there are crystal-clear coral palaces, and the luminous pearls on both sides of the palace road emit a soft glow.

"You two are quite sentimental, having maintained this place exactly like the former Dragon Palace."

Ye Yang looked around, his eyes full of admiration.

"It's hard to go back to our old haunts, so my brother and I can only focus our efforts on this."

Long Jun sighed, then led Ye Yang into the main hall.

The stone tables and chairs inside the hall are all carved from deep-sea warm jade, which feels warm to the touch.

He raised his hand and waved it lightly. Two clam maidens dressed in light pink silk dresses slowly stepped forward, holding jade plates inlaid with pearls in their hands. The teacups contained light blue tea, with a thin layer of icy mist on the surface.

Even before it touched the lips, Ye Yang's breath sent a refreshing sensation through the mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, please try this. This Ice Soul Tea is made from the thousand-year-old Ice Tea Tree in the far north glacier. It needs to be brewed with deep-sea cold spring water. It can relieve the fatigue of cultivation, sort out disordered magical power, and remove pain."

"Brother Ye has just returned from the Demon Realm, so this is a good way to nourish your body."

Dragon Lord picked up a teacup and handed it to Ye Yang and the Three Dream Demon King.

Ye Yang took the teacup, took a small sip, and felt a cool sensation spread from the tip of his tongue to his entire body.

The fatigue from returning from the Demon Realm and encountering formidable enemies had largely dissipated.

He couldn't help but nod in approval.

"Excellent tea! It's even more mellow than ordinary spiritual tea. The Dragon Lord certainly knows how to enjoy life."

The Three Dreams Demon King downed the tea in one gulp, smacked his lips, and said with a smile.

"Brother Ye, don't rush to praise the tea. Let's talk about our cultivation experiences first."

“I heard that you have mastered the new technique ‘Sword Qi Transformation’ in the Demon Realm. Why don’t you tell us about it?”

When cultivation was mentioned, Ye Yang became interested. He condensed a wisp of sword energy at his fingertips, which slowly transformed into a miniature longsword in the air. The sword blade exuded a terrifying sharpness, as if it could cleave the heavens.

"The Demon Realm is fraught with danger, and there are countless demon cultivators. While I fought against them, I also learned a lot."

"This move requires the power of the primordial spirit as its foundation, incorporating one's own understanding of 'breaking' and 'defending,' so that it can both shatter demonic barriers and protect oneself..."

The three of them talked for a long time about their experiences in spiritual practice.

From sword techniques and moves to understanding of realms, from bloodline awakening to resource utilization, the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly heated, sometimes debating and sometimes agreeing.

The Demon King of Three Dreams listened intently, then abruptly slammed his folding fan shut, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

"It seems that only during a great battle can one's potential be unleashed. Fellow Daoist Ye's move is indeed exquisite!"

"However, the cultivators of the Demon Realm are all powerful and unpredictable. Ordinary spiritual power crumbles upon them. Brother Ye must have suffered a lot to be able to comprehend new moves in battle."

Ye Yang put down his teacup, the sword energy at his fingertips slowly dissipating, and his gaze darkened.

"That is indeed the case. The dangers of the demon race go far beyond the strangeness of demonic energy."

"During this time in the Demon Realm, I encountered a Void Refinement Demon Ancestor. He could use his own primordial spirit as a guide to devour the cultivation of surrounding cultivators. In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he drained the great power of three True Person cultivators."

"Moreover, on the way back, I was besieged by several Void Refinement Demon Ancestors. If it weren't for the Azure Lotus Sword Talisman protecting me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon King frowned.

"Such a bizarre and evil technique? No wonder we were forced to retreat by the demons in the Deep Sea Dragon Palace back then."

"They are not only powerful in combat, but also adept at trading blows for lives and overwhelming the weak with numbers. Ordinary cultivators simply cannot withstand them."

"It was only because the cultivation world of the sub-world was full of talented people and had a large number of cultivators that it was able to break through the Demon Realm by gathering many other races. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

The three of them found themselves getting along very well as they talked.

Gradually, the conversation shifted from strategies for resisting demons to shortcomings in cultivation, and then to how to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Ye Yang shared his experience in battles in the Demon Realm, while the Three Dream Demon Kings and the Dragon Lord shared their insights from years of cultivation on the shores of the East Sea.

For a time, the three of them discussed and learned from each other.

Unbeknownst to me, the luminous pearl outside the window had changed its halo three times.

"I never expected to gain so much from today's conversation."

Ye Yang raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his eyes filled with excitement.

"This battle in the Demon Realm is also a great opportunity for personal improvement."

"Now that I'm talking with you two, I feel even more confident." The Three Dreams Demon King smiled and picked up his teacup.

"This is the benefit of encouraging each other on the same path! Cultivation is not a solitary journey. With companions by your side, even the most difficult path can be traversed."

"Come on, have another cup of Iced Soul Tea. Maybe we can figure out an even more powerful way to fight the demon."

Dragon King also picked up his teacup, his eyes full of expectation.

"Indeed, after communicating with Fellow Daoist Ye, I actually felt that the Refinement of Void Realm was just around the corner."

Before the Dragon Lord could finish speaking, the Three Dream Demon King snapped his folding fan shut, and his previously languid eyes instantly lit up.

"You old dragon! You've been hiding such a big surprise!"

"I only noticed that your spiritual energy was becoming more and more refined, but I didn't expect that you had already touched the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm. This is a great blessing!"

It is important to know that to reach the Refining Void Realm, one must condense the Void Primordial Spirit and merge one's own Dao Power with the Void of Heaven and Earth.

Many cultivators have been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul Dao Realm for decades, unable to even glimpse its path.

The fact that the Dragon Lord was able to reach this level of understanding during the discussion was a result of his century-long dedication to guarding the East Sea and comprehending the power of rivers and seas.

This also owes much to the exhilarating exchange among like-minded individuals.

Such an opportunity is enough to make most people in the cultivation world envious.

Ye Yang also put down his Ice Soul Teacup, his eyes filled with satisfaction. He cupped his hands in greeting to Long Jun, his tone sincere.

"Congratulations, Dragon Lord! You have always been skilled in water-based techniques and have spent many years honing your skills in the East Sea. Now, taking advantage of this opportunity to discuss the Dao, you have broken through your bottleneck. This is truly a natural outcome."

"Once you have fully stabilized your Void Refinement Realm, we will have another powerful ally who can control the void and mobilize the power of rivers and seas!"

He knew all too well the hardships the Dragon King had endured over the years.

After the destruction of the Heavenly Water Realm, the two were forced to relocate their entire clan to this world.

He had to rebuild the Water Palace and protect his people, while also guarding against sneak attacks from the remnants of the demon race, which repeatedly hindered his cultivation progress.

Such a breakthrough is truly remarkable.

The Dragon King was a little embarrassed by the two people's enthusiasm, but he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"Speaking of which, I must thank Brother Ye. What you just said about 'understanding the way of defense through the war in the Demon Realm' has actually loosened the bottleneck that I've been stuck on for many years: the difficulty in integrating water-based Dao power with my primordial spirit."

"If it weren't for my pleasant chat with you today, I'm afraid I would have been stuck in the Heavenly Gang Realm for a long time."

It wasn't until the Clam Maiden refilled the tea that the Three Dreams Demon King changed the subject, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Brother Ye, jokes aside, we've come to see you today not only to visit you, but also to inquire about the true situation in the Demon Realm."

The Demon King of Three Dreams closed his folding fan, his fingertips lightly tracing the stone table. His tone, once languid, now carried a hint of heaviness.

"As Brother Ye knows, Old Dragon and I are 'outsiders.' Back then, we fled from Tianshui Realm to this cultivation world, and it was already difficult enough for us to establish ourselves in the East Sea. But in recent years, we have been restricted at every turn when we try to take another step forward."

"The surrounding spirit mines are either controlled by the local major sects or divided up by the loose cultivator alliance. Even a few newly discovered low-level spirit veins are being fought over fiercely."

Dragon Lord also sighed, condensing a wisp of water-based spiritual power at his fingertips, which then slowly dissipated.

"The younger generation in the clan are growing stronger and stronger, and they need more and more resources, but we can only get a pitifully small amount."

"If this continues, let alone making any further progress, I'm afraid we won't even be able to protect our own cultivation level."

“A few days ago, I discussed with Brother Sanmeng that instead of fighting with others for scraps here, we should go and explore the Starry Sky.”

"Although the Demon Realm is dangerous, it also hides countless untapped resources and secret realms left behind by the demon race. If we can expand our influence there, we might be able to find a way to survive for our people."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yang's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he slowly nodded.

He was well aware of the difficulties faced by outsiders in the cultivation world. Although the Flying Heaven Sect was a local sect, it often found itself in situations where its movements were restricted and it was unable to unleash its full potential.

If only the Three Dream Demon King and the Dragon Lord, two powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, could form an alliance now.

This will undoubtedly relieve the pressure on the Flying Gate.

"You two have such courage, which coincides with my own."

Ye Yang picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and spoke with increasing seriousness.

"The Demon Realm is indeed a 'dangerous place,' but it is also a 'treasure land.' When I returned from the Demon Realm this time, I discovered that in addition to the Demon Ancestor's stronghold that had been breached, there were still many areas that contained rich magic crystal mines and ancient spiritual materials. However, due to the remaining forces of the Demon Clan, no one dared to venture there for the time being."

"If you two are willing to go, the Flying Heaven Sect is willing to form an alliance with you and share resources and intelligence from the Demon Realm."

The Three Dreams Demon King's eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother Ye, is what you say true? With the support of the Flying Heaven Sect, we can avoid many detours in the Demon Realm!"

"Of course I take it seriously."

Ye Yang took out a jade slip, then condensed a wisp of spiritual power at his fingertips and quickly began to write on the paper.

"Currently, the Demon Realm is still in an undeveloped state, and the situation is chaotic, but it is also a good time for vigorous development."

"Sect Leader Gu Xuan has now broken through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm and is currently overseeing affairs at the Flying Heaven Sect. Keep this letter safe and give it to the Sect Leader when you arrive at the Flying Heaven Sect. He will arrange for your assistance."

"Not only will we share the latest situation in the Demon Realm with you, but we will also send disciples to assist you in establishing a stronghold in the Demon Realm."

After writing, Ye Yang stamped his personal mark on it and then handed the jade tube to Long Jun.

"Just hand this jade slip over to Sect Leader Gu when the time comes, and he will make the arrangements."

After saying that, Ye Yang continued to give instructions.

"Although the Demon Realm has been occupied by our side, there are still demons active in the depths of the starry sky. When you two first arrive, do not venture in rashly. It is not too late to act after you have met up with the Flying Heaven Gate and understood the situation."

The Dragon King accepted the jade tube with both hands, filled with gratitude.

"Brother Ye, we will remember your kindness! If the Flying Heaven Sect needs us in the Demon Realm in the future, we will certainly not refuse!"

The Three Dream Demon King also solemnly bowed.

"Once we have established a foothold in the Demon Realm, we will immediately join forces with the Flying Heaven Sect to wipe out the remaining forces of the Demon Race. At that time, with the combined efforts of the three parties, we will surely be able to obtain more resources!"

Ye Yang nodded with a smile.

“That’s excellent. Once you two have successfully expanded your territory in the Demon Realm, we can establish a structure where the Flying Heaven Sect is stationed in the cultivation world and you two guard the Demon Realm. This way, we can support each other and jointly resist the demons’ counterattack. This is the best long-term strategy.”

As they spoke, the luminous pearl outside the window began to glow faintly with the morning light. Before they knew it, the three of them had been talking all night.

The Dragon Lord stood up and said.

"It's almost dawn. Once it's light, Brother Sanmeng and I will send people to investigate the situation and meet up with Sect Leader Gu Xuan as soon as possible so we can set off for the Demon Realm sooner."

The Three Dream Demon King also stood up, gently waving his folding fan.

"I'll lead the team for now, while Dragon Lord guards the home. Brother Ye, it's goodbye for now, but we'll meet again in the Demon Realm! When we do, you must try the fine wine I brought back from the Demon Realm again!"

In the early morning.

Ye Yang and Long Jun escorted the Three Dream Demon King to the island. Watching the Three Dream Demon King transform into a streak of light and fly towards the Flying Heaven Gate, they couldn't help but nod.

The Three Dream Demon King was also a cultivator of the primordial spirit path who had accumulated years of experience.

Their scheme to establish a presence in the Demon Realm is also a good thing for the Flying Heaven Sect.

This would give the Flying Heaven Sect more support in the Demon Realm. (End of Chapter)
