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

Ye Yang's divine sense is now incredibly sharp.

At this moment, his gaze swept over the three items in front of the short cultivator, and he quickly made a judgment.

The first of the three items displayed on the stall was a jade pendant with a pale green luster.

It appears to contain spiritual energy, but in reality, it is made by soaking ordinary jade in spiritual liquid to artificially age it.

There was no spiritual energy flowing inside; it was nothing but a fake to fool people.

The second item was a half-rolled, yellowed ancient book, with runes on the pages that appeared ancient.

In reality, the brushstrokes are loose, clearly indicating that it was forged by later generations, and it doesn't even qualify as a low-level martial arts manual fragment.

Only the third item made Ye Yang's eyes suddenly freeze.

It was a piece of grayish-white bone about the length of a palm, its surface covered with fine dark patterns, with a faint golden light lingering between the patterns.

Without careful observation, it is easy to mistake it for the remains of an ordinary mythical beast.

Ye Yang had practiced the Great Demon Peng Technique and was extremely sensitive to the aura of Peng-type creatures.

The faint pressure emanating from this bone, though eroded by time, still carried the domineering and boundless aura unique to the ancient Peng bird.

"It's actually the bone of an ancient Thunder Roc..."

Ye Yang was secretly delighted, but remained outwardly calm.

Lei Peng usually resides only in the overseas immortal mountains and soars through the nine heavens and clouds, making him extremely rare to see.

Many ancient books regard it as a type of phoenix.

However, in recent times, these giant birds have gradually become extinct.

The materials on its body are extremely rare.

Such items can be used not only to refine escape artifacts such as wings, shoes, and boots.

It can also assist in the cultivation of Peng bird techniques, making it extremely rare.

If it were any other cultivator, they would probably just regard it as an ordinary ancient beast skeleton and would never recognize its true value.

The short cultivator seemed to notice Ye Yang's gaze, and slightly raised his head from under his cloak, but remained silent.

He then extended two fingers, pointing to the piece of Peng bird bone and then to Ye Yang's storage bag.

Ye Yang understood, condensed a wisp of spiritual energy at his fingertips, gently touched the Peng bird's bone, and made a gesture to indicate "how to exchange".

The short monk finally spoke, his voice hoarse as if sandpaper were being rubbed.

"Change the main material of the Zhenmai Treasure Artifact."

It is concise and to the point, stating only the core conditions and omitting any unnecessary details.

"The main material for the meridian-suppressing artifact..."

Ye Yang's mind raced, realizing that the stall owner hadn't recognized the true value of the Peng bird's bone.

He gently patted the storage bag and quickly took out a fist-sized, dark blue stone from the storage ring.

The stone was no bigger than the palm of your hand, and its surface was covered with star-like specks of light.

This is a piece of star marrow stone that he obtained in outer space.

Not only is it extremely hard, but it can also stabilize spiritual veins and neutralize violent spiritual energy, making it a top-grade material for refining vein-suppressing treasures.

Ye Yang gently placed the star stone on the stall and pushed it in front of the short cultivator.

Upon seeing this, the short monk revealed a withered hand covered in calluses.

He quickly ran his fingertips across the surface of the star stone, then closed his eyes to sense it for a moment, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"It's actually a star stone from outer space."

His words were filled with surprise and joy. After expressing his feelings, he grabbed the Peng bird bone and pushed it toward Ye Yang.

Ye Yang took the Peng bird bone, sensed it briefly, and after confirming that it was correct, put it into his storage bag.

After putting the star stone away, the man tucked back into his cloak and resumed his previous silent demeanor.

The surrounding cultivators dispersed after the transaction between the two ended.

Some continued browsing other stalls, while others stood still, observing the passing crowds with wary eyes.

After completing the transaction of the Thunder Roc Bone, Ye Yang strolled around the Ghost Market again.

Although the stalls along the way also displayed some antiques and rare materials, most of them were ordinary items.

It's either a defective product with severely depleted spiritual energy, or a special spiritual plant.

It would be hard to find another treasure that could move him as much as the Thunder Roc Bone.

He stopped walking, glanced at an empty stall in the corner of the square, and sat down cross-legged.

Then he took out the unused treasures from his storage bag and prepared to clean them up.

He spread the black cloth out on the bluestone slab, and with a flick of his finger, dozens of treasures flew out of his storage ring and were neatly arranged on the cloth.

Among them was the "Demon Ancestor's Scale Armor," which shimmered with a dark purple aura. He obtained it by slaying high-ranking demon cultivators in the Demon Realm.

There are also "Blood Soul Beads" the size of a fist.

Countless tiny soul shadows could be faintly seen flowing within the bead.

There are also several "Star Leaf Grasses" from outer space, their leaves covered with star patterns, which are rare auxiliary materials for refining various elixirs...

As soon as these treasures were displayed, the scattered cultivators all turned their heads to look.

After all, anyone with eyes can see it at a glance.

These things all come from outer space or the land of demons, and are very rare in the cultivation world.

In the distance, a monk wearing a silver mask was staring at the puppet remains at the stall next door.

At that moment, he suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed on the Demon Ancestor's scales, and his feet unconsciously moved closer to Ye Yang's stall.

"It's actually the Demon Ancestor Armor of the Nascent Soul Dao Realm! Who exactly is this person?"

"Since they have concealed their faces, they probably do not want to reveal their identities. The Dao Alliance's expedition to the Demon Realm was a great success, so perhaps they are cultivators who have returned from the Dao Alliance."

Not far away, a cultivator wrapped in a black cloak trembled slightly when he saw the Star Leaf Grass, clearly recognizing the value of this spiritual herb.

In no time, five or six people had gathered around Ye Yang's stall.

The first to act was the monk wearing the silver mask. He stretched out his finger and gently tapped the Demon Ancestor's Scale Armor on the stall.

He then took out a black short blade that gleamed with a cold light from his storage ring.

The blade was engraved with ferocious dragon patterns, and it turned out to be a primordial spirit artifact.

However, its size is too small, and there are not many suitable users, which is probably why the other party would offer it for exchange.

The man placed the dagger on the black cloth, indicating that he would exchange the blade for the scale armor.

Ye Yang glanced at the short blade, then condensed a wisp of spiritual energy at his fingertips and probed it.

The blade contained a dense demonic aura, yet it was sealed by a layer of restrictions, clearly indicating that it was a Dao artifact refined through special means.

This item is rather small and has few functions.

However, since the Demon Ancestor's Scale Armor was not refined, it was not considered a complete primordial spirit artifact, so the two were not much different in value.

He nodded slightly and pushed the Demon Ancestor's Scale Armor toward the other party, and the silver-masked cultivator saw this.

He immediately picked up the scale armor, left the short blade on the stall, and turned to blend into the crowd.

Immediately afterward, the cultivator in the black cloak beside him also moved.

He had his eye on those few Star Leaf Grasses. He took out a jade box from his storage ring, opened it, and found three "Soul Stabilizing Pills" inside.

The pill emitted a faint, pleasant fragrance; it was a superior elixir for stabilizing the primordial spirit. This type of pill was quite rare, especially useful for treating injuries to the primordial spirit, and Chen Hao nodded in agreement.

After exchanging the treasures, both sides were satisfied.

Then more cultivators stepped forward, and one of them exchanged the Blood Soul Pearl for an ancient jade slip containing a diagram of the mountain-protecting formation.

Someone even traded a piece of "deep-sea cold iron" for a broken sword, but Ye Yang didn't know what use it had for.

In less than half an hour, most of the treasures on the stall had been exchanged.

He was about to put away the remaining treasures when he saw a figure slowly approaching.

The newcomer wore a bronze Taotie mask and exuded a deep and imposing aura, clearly indicating that he was a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm.

The other person's gaze swept across the stall and finally landed on an inconspicuous black stone.

The bronze-masked cultivator pointed a finger at the black stone, then took out a yellowed ancient book from his storage ring and placed it on the black cloth.

Ye Yang picked up the ancient book and took a look. His heart stirred.

The ancient book records only a fragment of the "Void Escape Technique," which, though only half complete, is extremely rare.

He immediately nodded and completed the exchange with the other party.

The bronze-masked cultivator picked up the black stone, carefully examined it for a moment, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes, and then turned to leave.

As Ye Yang watched the bronze-masked cultivator leave, he put the yellowed ancient book into his storage ring.

This secret method was not engraved on jade slips.

However, the paper on which the text was written was a rare ancient scroll, clearly indicating that it was quite old.

At a glance, Ye Yang understood the significance of this secret technique. After accepting it, he said no more and waited for the last few cultivators in front of the stall to leave.

He quickly put away the remaining treasures and the black cloth, then picked up the "Void Escape Technique" and studied it carefully.

He carefully unfolded the jade slip.

The pages appear to be made of some kind of ancient animal hide, yet they remain supple despite the passage of time.

The runes drawn with cinnabar on the surface meander like snakes, each line subtly echoing the rhythm of the flow of space.

As soon as it came into view, Ye Yang felt the Sword Prison space in his sea of ​​consciousness tremble slightly, as if he had already gained something.

"What an exquisite spatial manipulation technique!"

Ye Yang exclaimed in a low voice, condensing a wisp of spiritual power at his fingertips, which slowly traveled along the trajectory of the runes.

Although the "Void Escape Technique" recorded in this ancient book is only half complete.

It simply proposed a completely new method, suggesting the core principle that cultivators should "travel through void rifts and use their own Dao power as a guide."

Unlike ordinary escape techniques that rely on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

This method can directly manipulate spatial nodes, bypassing most restrictions and detection, making it a top-tier method for concealment and escape.

What surprised Ye Yang even more was the spatial logic within this escape technique.

It coincided with his already understood "Sword Prison Space".

Previously, he had practiced swordsmanship, which allowed him to construct sword prisons and imprison enemies with sword intent.

However, I always feel that my control over space is limited to the level of "external construction" and I can't "integrate at will".

The "Void Escape Technique" records "spatial node perception" and "the method of resonance between Dao power and the void".

Since it can subtly and completely unite people and space into one.

Thinking of this, Ye Yang closed his eyes slightly, and the phantom of the Sword Prison Space and the trajectory of the escape runes appeared in his mind at the same time.

In an instant, a sharp sword intent sliced ​​through space like a blade.

Beyond this sword intent, countless spiritual energy runes coiled around the spatial nodes like threads, one hard and one soft, one breaking and one melting.

A wonderful complement was formed around him.

Ye Yang tried to mobilize a wisp of sword intent to simulate the trajectory of the escape technique in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The previously sluggish sense of control over the surrounding space suddenly became smooth. With a single tap of his hand, a sword wheel space appeared beside him.

Although it is only about ten feet in size and has a small range, it can complete three spatial transformations and folds in an instant, increasing the binding power by 30%.

"I see!"

Ye Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a look of understanding flashing in them.

“My previous swordsmanship only knew how to break through the situation with force and shape the realm with intention, but I neglected the ‘fusion’ and ‘transformation’ of spatial power.”

"No wonder I haven't been able to complete the fusion of the third form of the sword and saber for so many years. If I could incorporate the resonance principle of the Void Escape Technique, not only would I be able to trap the enemy more effectively, but I could also use the power of spatial folding to allow the sword energy to break through distance limitations and achieve 'the sword arrives as soon as it is drawn'!"

Thinking of this, Ye Yang got up and walked into the Yunxi Cave, then raised his hand and condensed a cyan sword aura.

Whoosh!
As the sword energy was unleashed, it shot out rapidly, leaving a white streak in the air.

According to the node perception method recorded in the Void Escape Technique.

Ye Yang slowly closed his eyes, his divine sense like a fine net, capturing every subtle spatial fluctuation within the cave.

A moment later, his wrist twitched slightly.

The longsword suddenly thrust out, but the sword energy did not shoot straight at the cave wall; instead, it suddenly twisted midway.

As if passing through an invisible door, he instantly appeared beside a stone pillar about ten feet away, leaving a sword mark half an inch deep.

"It's done!"

Ye Yang was overjoyed.

Previously, although his sword energy was fast, it was still limited by the trajectory of the empty sword, after all, the Sky-Hunting Sword Energy was extremely sharp.

However, it lacks a certain agility in terms of maneuvering and change.

But now, with the help of half of the Dharma, he actually felt something.

Using the spatial principles of the Void Escape Technique, sword energy can bend and change at key points, its trajectory unpredictable, as agile as a swimming fish.

more importantly.

Swords are often known for their sharpness, while knives are known for their weight and strength; they are often described as "splitting mountains and seas, advancing without hesitation."

If one can incorporate spatial power into sword techniques, the strike will have the effect of trapping and locking the enemy within space.

Even when facing the defenses of a cultivator at the Void Refinement Realm, there is still much that can be accomplished.

With this thought, Ye Yang felt a little more at ease. He then took out the ancient Thunder Roc bone. As the power of Dao flowed from his fingertips, the dark patterns on the roc bone and the runes of the Void Escape Technique faintly echoed each other.

Lei Peng was incredibly swift, naturally adept at traversing clouds and flying at breakneck speed.

Its bones possess an innate sensitivity to spatial distance, and the Void Escape Technique can precisely materialize this sensitivity.

"If I can integrate the bones of the Thunder Roc into my magic weapon in the future, and combine it with the Void Escape Technique and the Wind and Thunder Wings, my escape speed and spatial control will definitely reach a new level."

Thinking of this, Ye Yang picked up the ancient book again and studied it word by word, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes raising his hand to trace the runes.

The spiritual energy within the cave slowly circulated as he comprehended the teachings.

Gradually, it intertwined with the intent of swords and blades, forming a pale blue cocoon of light visible to the naked eye.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of Song Fengzi gently knocking on the stone door came from outside the cave.

"Senior Ye, tomorrow is the last day of the Ghost Market. Some fellow Daoists from Penglai would like to invite you to explore the 'Treasure Pavilion' together and pay respects to the Dao Ancestor. I wonder if you would be interested?"

Ye Yang put away the ancient book, his eyes still filled with lingering joy, and said loudly.

"Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist. I will certainly keep my appointment tomorrow." (End of Chapter)
