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

Before he finished speaking, Ye Yang's primordial spirit power suddenly erupted, flashing with azure light.

A longsword, entirely emerald green and engraved with dragon patterns, and a long saber exuding a dark and sinister aura appeared simultaneously in his hands.

The moment the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade appeared.

Immediately, heaven and earth fell silent, and the entire space began to ripple slowly, like flowing water.

Followed by.

Ye Yang slightly tugged at the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword in his hand, releasing a soaring sword aura, with countless majestic sword energies surging upwards.

The patterns on the sword flowed, and one could faintly hear the roar of a blue dragon.

The Evil King Blade, on the other hand, exudes a chilling, malevolent aura, its blade shrouded in black mist, a stark contrast to the Azure Dragon Sword's righteous and awe-inspiring presence.

Yet, under the guidance of Ye Yang's primordial spirit power, a strange balance was achieved.

At this moment, behind Ye Yang, on one side, a soaring sword light was extremely sharp, as if they had entered a special sword domain space.

On the other side, sword energy crisscrossed, a vast and powerful force, both domineering and profound.

"That's...this knife?!"

At this moment, the Demon Ancestor, who was locked up, saw the long sword in Ye Yang's hand, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his voice trembled slightly.

"How did you come to possess this demonic weapon? This blade was the personal weapon of an ancient demon emperor, but it was destroyed in a great battle. How did it end up in the hands of a human cultivator like you!"

Ignoring the demon's shock, Ye Yang waved his hands, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade flew out of his hands at the same time, spinning rapidly in the air.

Sword light and blade energy intertwined, forming a spatial barrier that enveloped the entire temple.

Above the barrier, spatial runes and the power of swords merged together, radiating a chilling pressure.

"No, you... what do you want to do?!"

The demon sensed something was wrong and struggled frantically, its demonic energy surging as it tried to break free of the chains, but it was suppressed by the sword and saber energy set up by Ye Yang and could not move.

At this moment, the sealing runes that bound the opponent with chains became even brighter under the stimulation of the array's power, firmly locking the demon's body.

Ye Yang slowly walked to the center of the formation, formed hand seals, and continuously poured his primordial spirit power into the formation.

“Since you have been sealed here, you must have committed many evils.”

“If I release you today, countless cultivators will suffer. Rather than risk trusting you, it is better to keep you here forever and make further plans.”

The sword energy of the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the evil energy of the Evil King Blade intertwined continuously within the formation, forming spatial rifts that devoured the demon's demonic energy.

Seeing this, the demon panicked completely and struggled and roared incessantly.

"Letting me out will only benefit you! If you insist on keeping me trapped, you will surely die once the other demonic cultivators find this place!"

However, Ye Yang ignored him and remained unmoved, continuing to reinforce the formation.

"If any other demonic cultivators dare to come, I will kill them all. As for you, you should stay in this formation and think about how to get through the rest of the days."

With the final seal completed, the sword and saber formation was fully formed.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade floated on either side of the formation, firmly trapping the demon in the center.

The moment the sword and blade formation was fully formed, the entire space trembled even more violently.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword hovered in the east, its mighty sword energy cascading down like a waterfall, condensing into a pale blue light wall at the edge of the formation.

Countless sword patterns flowed across the wall of light, each containing the sharpness to tear through space.

The Evil King Blade, on the other hand, was submerged in the west, its dark, malevolent energy surging like waves, weaving into a net outside the wall of light. The malevolent energy hissed when it touched the air, and even the space itself was corroded, leaving tiny cracks.

One is righteous, the other evil; linked by spatial runes, they somehow formed a distorted void in the center of the formation.

It continuously absorbed the demonic energy surrounding the demon.

"No! This is impossible!"

The demon writhed wildly, its dark golden scales gleaming menacingly under the array's light. It suddenly opened its mouth.

A jet-black demonic flame spewed from its mouth, leaving a dark trail in the space it passed through, heading straight for Ye Yang's face.

This is the primordial demonic flame he has accumulated since he was trapped, enough to scorch his primordial spirit.

At this moment, with the opponent concentrating on using a sword and saber formation, he suddenly attacked, catching Ye Yang off guard, and was already in front of him.

Caught off guard, it could easily take the other person's life.

However, Ye Yang's eyes remained calm. Facing the raging demonic flames, he did not exert any force, but simply touched the ground with his toes.

In an instant.

Ripples spread across the space around him, and he seemed to merge into a shadow in the water. Just before the demonic flames touched him, he appeared out of thin air three zhang away.

The demonic flame missed its target, landing on the array's light wall. It was instantly shredded into pieces by the righteous sword energy and the evil king's evil energy, leaving not even a spark behind.

"This is... a spatial escape technique?!"

The demon's pupils shrank sharply, his voice filled with disbelief.

He had seen countless cultivators' escape techniques, but he had never seen such exquisite use of space.

Just now, the other party seemed to be walking casually through the space, easily avoiding everything.

Not only was there no fluctuation of spiritual energy, but there was also no warning. It was as if it was meant to be there, completely violating the common sense of the laws of space.

"You're just a cultivator in the early stages of the Void Refinement realm, how could you possibly master such profound spatial techniques?"

"This requires at least the cultivation level of the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm, as well as a profound understanding of the laws of space!"

Ye Yang did not answer, but instead raised his hand and gestured towards the formation.

next moment.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade simultaneously emitted a buzzing sound, and the dragon patterns on the sword and the black mist on the blade lit up at the same time, causing the spatial distortion within the formation to become increasingly violent.

The demonic energy that was originally sucked into the void was compressed by the power of space into black crystal beads that floated at the edge of the formation.

These magic crystal beads contain pure demonic energy, but they are firmly locked by spatial runes, preventing even a trace from escaping.

Seeing this, the demon's fear intensified.

He suddenly realized that the human cultivator in front of him was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

He once again activated his primal power, forming hand seals, and demonic patterns lit up his body, forming a giant demonic hand from the center of the formation.

The demonic hand was covered with spikes, each one gleaming with an eerie green light, as it lashed out at Ye Yang.

This time, he didn't attack Ye Yang's physical body, but instead slammed his fist into the space beneath Ye Yang's feet, trying to shatter the foundation of his spatial escape technique.

Ye Yang's lips curled up slightly, a knowing glint in his eyes.

The Void Escape Technique was activated again.

He lightly stomped his feet on the ground, and ripples spread through the space around him once again.

This time, instead of moving laterally, he leaped directly upwards.

The moment he stood up, the demonic hand struck the spot where he had just stood, and the black crystal ground instantly collapsed, forming a bottomless pit.

The demonic energy surged within the pit, but it was firmly contained within the pit by the power of the formation and could not spread.

As Ye Yang leaped up, he merged into the space above his head.

His body seemed to transform into a transparent beam of light, with only a faint blue glow around him indicating his location.

This kind of escape technique is no longer a simple spatial jump.

Instead, it is almost like "spatial concealment," merging itself with the space, so that unless the space is directly shattered, it cannot be harmed in the slightest.

"This...this is an exquisite application of spatial magic!"

The demon was utterly desperate.

"Who exactly are you? How can you possess such spatial escape techniques while only at the Void Refinement Realm?"

Ye Yang's voice was calm and composed. "You've been stuck here for so long that you're no longer able to keep up with the changes in the outside world."

The next moment, Ye Yang's figure slowly emerged from the void, raising his hand and grasping the formation. The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade hummed simultaneously.

The spatial distortion within the formation intensified suddenly, and the compressed magic crystal beads were instantly shredded, transforming into pure energy that merged into the sword and blade formation.

The light from the formation grew even brighter.

The demon slumped against the chains, his eyes filled with despair.

He knew that he had completely lost any chance of breaking the seal.

The human cultivator before them not only possessed the weapon of the ancient Demon Emperor, but also mastered spatial techniques that most Void Refinement cultivators might not be proficient in.

Such strength far exceeded his understanding.

Ye Yang looked at the demon who had completely given up resistance and slowly spoke.

"I'll trouble you to stay here and guard this place. We can talk in detail after I've thoroughly investigated and cleared out the Blackwater River Demon Realm."

After speaking, Ye Yang turned and walked out of the temple. The space around him rippled again. This time, his figure did not disappear directly, but seemed to be slowly "pushed" out by space.

Each step landed on a spatial node, silently departing from the eerie temple.

And just after Ye Yang left.

No matter how much the demon struggled, it could not break free from the formation's constraints and was instead constantly cut by sword and saber energy.

The scales on its body shattered one after another, and black blood dripped down, but it was instantly evaporated by the power of the formation.

Now that the demon is trapped here, the immediate threat has been resolved.

And then they can slowly study the authenticity of the "Ten Thousand Demons Tempering God Technique" in the future.

What this demon said is true; after reaching the Void Refinement Realm, it becomes extremely difficult to advance further.

Ye Yang just tested the Myriad Demons Tempering God Technique, so it should be true, but before obtaining it, it's better to let it suffer a bit first.

And the other side.

Just as Ye Yang's figure disappeared at the temple exit.

Inside a cave on the other side of the secret realm, a fierce battle is raging.

Lin Yan held the Crimson Fire Dragon Spear, the flames at the tip of the spear weaving like a dragon, each thrust piercing the chest of a low-level demon.

The demon in front of him resembled a dog, but had three human heads, which he then killed.

Black blood splattered on the ground and was instantly dissolved by the purification array patterns set up by Zhang Lingwei.

"kill!"

Li Qingyun's team of sword cultivators had gone berserk.

The azure light on the Demon-Slaying Sword Talisman grew even more intense, and the sword energy intertwined into a net, enveloping all the fleeing demonic cultivators.

In the fierce battle just now, they not only killed three demons at the Martial Realm, but also found many treasures in their storage bags.

There are "magic crystal grass" that can enhance cultivation, as well as various demonic pills and main materials for forging magical artifacts.

There is even an ancient book that records basic magic rune formations.

"Senior Brother Li, look at this!"

A disciple of the Li family ran over carrying a fist-sized, dark red crystal, the surface of which gleamed with a faint spiritual light.

"Junior Sister Zhang said this is 'Blood Essence Crystal,' which is made by high-level demonic cultivators refining their own blood essence. It's perfect for crafting magic-breaking artifacts!"

Li Qingyun took the Blood Soul Crystal, feeling a warm sensation on his fingertips, and his spiritual energy resonated faintly with it.

He was overjoyed. If he brought the Blood Soul Crystal back to the sect, he would definitely be able to exchange it for a lot of contribution points.

Perhaps I can even ask an elder from the weapon-refining pavilion to forge a fine sword for me.

Thinking of this, his gaze towards Lin Yan became more complicated.

If Lin Yan hadn't insisted on "steady progress," they might have missed these treasures long ago. But it was precisely because of this that the team didn't fall into the demonic cultivators' trap and suffered very few casualties.

Just as everyone was counting their spoils and getting excited, a faint fluctuation of demonic energy suddenly came from deep within the cave.

Lin Yan's face darkened, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to be on guard.

"Watch out! There are still some that have slipped through the net!"

Everyone immediately gripped their magical artifacts and looked toward the source of the demonic energy.

A faint black shadow emerged from the shadows of the cave.

The shadow was like mist, yet it carried a chilling pressure; it was the remnant soul of the demon general who had just been slain.

However, this remnant soul was different from ordinary demonic souls. It was surrounded by a very faint golden demonic rune, indicating that it had been empowered by a more powerful being.

"Jie Jie..."

The remnant soul let out a piercing laugh, its gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on Li Qingyun.

"What a resilient body, what a heart that refuses to be mediocre..."

Li Qingyun's heart tightened, and he felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet. Just as he was about to swing his sword to shatter the remnant soul, he suddenly heard a hoarse voice in his mind.

"Young man, are you content to be just a genius of the Li family? Are you content to always be overshadowed by the disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect?"

"Who?!"

Li Qingyun suddenly looked up and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

The surrounding disciples were still watching the remnant soul warily, clearly unaware of the voice.

"I am in your heart."

The voice rang out again, with a seductive tone.

“When you killed the demon just now, I could see the resentment in your heart.”

“Your talent is no less than that of the cultivator wielding the spear, but because you come from a subordinate family, you have never been able to obtain the sect’s best resources.”

"You yearn to prove yourself, but you're always overshadowed by the 'steady' Lin Yan. If there were an opportunity that could dramatically increase your strength, allowing you to surpass Lin Yan and even become the number one person in the Flying Heaven Sect, would you want it?"

Li Qingyun's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand gripping the sword hilt trembled slightly.

The voice spoke of his deepest obsession.

Over the years, he has worked hard day and night, hoping to one day surpass Lin Yan and gain the recognition of his strength from everyone in the sect.

Lin Yan not only came from the main peak, but also received personal instruction from the sect, and his cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. He tried his best, but he was always one step behind.

"Who are you? Can you help me?"

Li Qingyun asked in his heart, his tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible wavering.

Who I am is not important; what matters is that I can give you strength.

The voice carried a hint of laughter.

“You are a sword cultivator. If you are willing to cooperate with me, I will teach you the ‘Demon Sword Life and Death Technique’. This technique can devour demonic energy to quickly improve your cultivation.”

"Your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds. In less than ten years, you will break through to the Purple Mansion True Person realm, and surpassing Lin Yan will be just around the corner!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Qingyun felt a sharp pain in his head.

Countless black sword symbols appeared out of thin air, and then those sword symbols slightly rotated, intertwining into an obscure cultivation technique incantation.

At the same time, a wisp of extremely faint golden demonic soul separated from the remnant soul, and like a snake, it burrowed into his brow and instantly merged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"You...what do you want to do?!"
