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

Chapter 1189 Ancient Xuan Comes to Believe in the Heavenly Might of the Ancestor
At this very moment, Ye Yang and the others were sealing off the Blackwater River Secret Realm.

On the open ground outside the exit of the Blackwater River Secret Realm, cultivators from more than ten sects had already gathered.

These people were all attracted by the vast demonic energy and spiritual energy fluctuations that had previously erupted in the secret realm, but because they were wary of the dangers inside, they never dared to approach.

Therefore, they could only watch from afar, discussing among themselves with curiosity and apprehension.

"What do you think happened here? That demonic energy just now could only be emitted by a demon at least in the Void Refinement Realm, and the purifying power that later covered the entire secret realm was simply terrifying!"

The speaker was a middle-aged cultivator from the Green Wood Sect. He stared at the faint golden spiritual light that had not yet completely dissipated at the exit of the secret realm, his eyes filled with shock.

A Taoist priest standing nearby chimed in, lowering his voice slightly.

"In my opinion, it must be the Flying Heaven Sect that has made a move!"

"Besides them, who else can mobilize so many powerful figures? Haven't you heard that Ye Daozu of the Flying Heaven Sect personally entered the secret realm a while ago?"

"Even Yan Daozu, who rarely leaves the sect, has brought more than twenty True Immortal cultivators to provide support. This force is likely to completely resolve the demonic threat in the secret realm!"

"More than twenty cultivators at the True Person realm? So many, it seems the Flying Heaven Sect is about to make a big move?"

"With the development of the Flying Heaven Sect in the Star Domain and the Demon Domain, the number of Flying Heaven Sect True Person Realm cultivators is now far beyond what people imagine."

A young cultivator from a minor sect sighed, his tone full of envy.

Many of the sects present do not even have a single Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

These forces are nothing compared to the Flying Heaven Sect.

Just as everyone was discussing it enthusiastically...

Suddenly someone pointed in the direction of the secret realm's exit and exclaimed.

"Look! Someone's coming out!"

These words immediately piqued everyone's curiosity.

In an instant.

All eyes turned to it.

At the exit of the Blackwater River Secret Realm, ripples appeared on the spatial barrier.

Before long, dozens of beams of light, each shimmering with a different color, flew out one after another.

Leading them were Ye Yang and Yan Qingying.

Ye Yang wore a blue-gold Taoist robe, with the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade on his back faintly glowing.

The moment Ye Yang stepped out of the Blackwater River Secret Realm, he seemed to notice that everyone was watching him.

He frowned slightly.

Although there was no deliberate release of pressure from his body.

However, the aura that was inadvertently leaked caused the cultivators watching from afar to subconsciously hold their breath.

"They really are from the Flying Heaven Sect!"

"Is that Ye Daozu leading the way? I haven't seen Ye Daozu for so many years, he's still the same as before."

"Look at the cultivators behind them. Although they look tired, their eyes are clear. It seems that the Flying Heaven Sect has won this great battle!"

The discussion resumed, more heated than before, but with a touch more reverence.

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly came from the distant sky.

Immediately afterwards, two white streaks of light rushed over like sharp swords, moving at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant landed on the open ground not far from the exit of the secret realm.

After those two beams of light arrived.

The chatter stopped instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to the two figures.

Both men were wearing white Taoist robes embroidered with Tai Chi patterns, and the words "Tai Xu" were embroidered on the cuffs, suggesting they were high-ranking members of the Tai Xu Taoist sect.

In particular, the leader was an old man with white hair, whose aura was as deep and profound as a deep pool, and many people could not see through his cultivation level.

Behind this person was a young cultivator.

His eyes were sharp, and he held a whisk in his hand. Even so, the magical energy emanating from his body was quite strong.

"They're from the Taixu Dao Sect! What brings them here?"

"Hasn't the Taixu Dao Sect been working with the Nine Heavens Sect to develop the Star Sea Demon Realm recently? Why would the sect's higher-ups suddenly come here?"

"Does he also want to get involved in the Blackwater River Secret Realm?"

"It's hard to say... The Taixu Dao Sect has always been very proud of itself, but now the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal is a force to be reckoned with in the star field and the cultivation world."

"Yu Qingzi has broken through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm again, and he's riding high. Nobody knows what they're thinking."

"That old man seems to be Xuanjizi, who has always been renowned in the Taixu Dao Sect, while that young man seems to be Faling Daoren, one of the best among the younger generation of the Taixu Dao Sect."

"The other party only recently broke through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm."

Whispers began again, but much quieter than before.

Everyone stared at the two from the Taixu Dao Sect, their eyes filled with curiosity.

I don't know why they suddenly came.

Ye Yang also noticed the cultivators from the Taixu Dao Sect. He raised an eyebrow slightly but did not take the initiative to step forward. He simply stood there, calmly looking at them.

Yan Qingying quietly gripped her longsword, her spiritual energy circulating silently around her, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

At this moment, the white-haired Taoist first glanced at Ye Yang and the others.

He glanced at the spatial barrier at the exit of the secret realm, a complex look flashing in his eyes, and then cupped his hands to Ye Yang.

"Master Ye, how have you been? I am Xuanjizi of the Taixu Dao Sect. I greet you, Master Ye."

Ye Yang nodded slightly, his voice calm and even.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanji, you are too kind. May I ask what important matter brings the Taixu Dao Sect here today?"

While Xuanjizi and Ye Yang were talking.

Standing behind Xuanjizi, Xuanling Daoist was secretly circulating his primordial spirit power, trying to probe Ye Yang's cultivation level.

But something that left him speechless happened.

At this moment, he discovered that no matter how intently he focused his senses, he could not perceive the problem.

The entire body of that Daoist Ye seemed to be shrouded in an impenetrable mist.

He could clearly sense the vast aura that far surpassed his own, yet he couldn't even touch the slightest trace of the barrier between realms.

It was as if the opponent's strength had already transcended the scope of his perception.

Thinking of this, he was suddenly jolted.

For a moment, even the fingers holding the whisk unconsciously tightened.

He grew up in the Taixu Dao Sect, one of the most powerful sects in the cultivation world today.

Although she was a prodigy from a young age, possessing a fairy-like appearance and physique.

However, throughout my childhood, all I heard was the name "Ye Yang".

The sect elders said that he broke through the martial arts barrier in his youth and attained the Purple Mansion realm in his young adulthood, making him one of the few old cultivators in the Taixu Dao Sect besides those who had reincarnated and started cultivating again.

He is the first person in five hundred years. Even when his peers mention him, they either show awe or resentment.

However, this Daozu Ye came from humble beginnings and persisted in cultivation despite the limited resources of a dilapidated sect.

Day after day, he persevered with great willpower and gradually cultivated himself to the level of a Taoist.

Moreover, he could defeat martial arts cultivators with his breath and use martial arts cultivators to defeat Purple Mansion True Persons.

With the strength of the Dharma Aspect True Person, he fought against the Primordial Spirit Dao Ancestor.

After reaching the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, it took him less than a hundred years to break through to the Refinement of Emptiness Realm.

Currently, the number of cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm who have died at his hands is well over 10.

Honestly, if I didn't have the support of the entire Taixu Dao Sect behind me, would I have done something wrong?

No matter what, I could never do what the other person did.

What I saw with my own eyes today.

Looking at the person in front of him, Xuanling Daoist realized that there was actually a degree of conservatism hidden in the previous rumors.

The strength of the person in front of me is beyond description with the word "powerful".

At this moment, some cultivators around also noticed Xuanling Daoist's unusual behavior, and whispers began to circulate again.

"Look at Xuanling Daoist's expression. He probably wanted to test Ye Daozu's cultivation level, but he was shocked instead, wasn't he?"

"Of course! He just broke through to the Void Refinement stage not long ago, and he still thinks he has top-notch talent, so naturally he's arrogant."

"However, this Dao Ancestor Ye was a late bloomer. The later he progressed, the faster his cultivation became. He was also a genius."

"He has only just entered the Nascent Soul Realm. I'm afraid he can't even see through Dao Ancestor Ye's cultivation level!"

"It's more than just that I can't see through it! Just now, when Dao Ancestor Ye frowned, I felt a chill run down my spine. The fact that Daoist Xuanling could stand there without backing down is already a testament to his resilience!"

"I heard that Daoist Xuanling is a key disciple being groomed by the Taixu Dao Sect. He came out with Xuanjizi this time hoping to broaden his horizons, but who would have thought that he would run into Daoist Ye on the very first stop? He's probably going to be quite a blow!"

Xuanjizi naturally noticed Xuanling Daoist's lapse in composure, coughed lightly, and stepped forward to take over the conversation.

"Master Ye, I have come here for two reasons. First, I have just returned from the Demon Realm and passed by this place. I noticed that the secret realm was acting strangely and wanted to ask what had happened inside."

"Secondly... Fellow Daoist Gu Xuan has been stationed in the Demon Realm for many days and asked me to pass on a message to you."

"Sect Leader Gu?"

Upon hearing the news about Gu Xuan, Ye Yang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

At that time, in the Demon Realm, he led everyone back to the sect, leaving Gu Xuan to guard a region in the Star Sea Demon Realm.

Now that Gu Xuan has suddenly replied, could it be that something big has happened?

He turned to the side, gesturing for Xuanjizi to come aside and speak.

Yan Qingying immediately understood and secretly gave a look to the elders and leaders behind her.

These people immediately understood Yan Qingying's meaning, and they quietly spread out their light blue Dao power, forming an invisible barrier.

They quickly shut out the prying eyes and whispers around them.

Xuanling Daoist finally calmed down a bit, but his gaze still couldn't help but linger on Ye Yang.

Just now, when Ye Yang turned to the side, the Dao artifact on his back faintly emitted a trace of aura.

That aura even caused the Dao power within his body to stir slightly, as if it were about to be forcibly absorbed.

"I'm afraid the other party actually possesses two high-grade Dao artifacts."

"No, that strange knife isn't quite a high-grade Dao artifact, but it's not far off."

This person already possessed profound knowledge and experience, and after gaining fame, he almost exclusively became known for his killings.

He was renowned throughout the world for his swordsmanship, and if that strange sword were to break through to become a high-grade Dao artifact...

I'm afraid their strength will only increase.

And the other side.

Only Ye Yang and Xuanjizi stood facing each other.

Seeing that the barrier was in place, Xuanjizi took out a palm-sized black jade talisman from his sleeve.

The talisman glowed with a faint, eerie light, and its surface was engraved with the unique "Heaven" character pattern of the Flying Heaven Sect, which was the secret communication talisman used exclusively by the Ancient Mystic Sect.

He handed the black jade talisman to Ye Yang, and with a light touch of his fingertip's Dao power, the talisman instantly lit up.

"This was made by Fellow Daoist Gu Xuan himself, and only your Dao power can activate it."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Ye Yang raised his hand to take the black jade talisman, and slowly poured his Dao power into it from his fingertips.

As the power of Dao flowed, the talisman's dark light intensified, and lines of golden characters appeared out of thin air in his mind.

"By Daozu Ye himself, using the previously captured demonic cultivator strongholds as a base, the Flying Heaven Sect has gradually gained a foothold in the Demon Realm."

"During March, we cleared out seventeen demon nests in the surrounding area and subdued more than two hundred scattered human cultivators. Now we have more than ten True Immortal cultivators under our command, which is enough to protect the safety of our stronghold..."

Ye Yang looked at the opening content, and his tense eyebrows relaxed slightly.

It was a pleasant surprise that Gu Xuan was able to quickly consolidate his power in such a dangerous place as the Demon Realm and protect many human cultivators.

But when his gaze fell on the following text, his eyes gradually darkened.

"...Recently, during my patrol, I discovered an ancient ruin deep within the Demon Realm. The demonic energy swirling around the ruin carries the fluctuations of the Thunder Tribulation Realm, suggesting it may be the legacy left behind by a Demon Ancestor at the Thunder Tribulation Realm or higher."

"Many forces have now discovered the ruins and seem to be vying for this inheritance. Friction among these forces is constant, and a major war may break out soon..."

"The inheritance of a demon ancestor beyond the tribulation of lightning?"

Ye Yang repeated these words in a low voice, his fingertips unconsciously clenching the black jade talisman, causing the talisman's eerie light to tremble.

He understood instantly.

Gu Xuan sent this secret letter not just to report that he was safe, but to remind him of the opportunities in the Demon Realm.

Ye Yang nodded slightly, already having made up his mind.

"Thank you for your kindness in bringing back Master Gu's letter."

Xuanjizi spoke.

"The Dao Ancestor and the Taixu Dao Sect have an extremely close relationship, and this is what I should do. However, when we arrived here just now, we found that the demonic energy was soaring into the sky. We don't know what happened."

Ye Yang hesitated for a moment before recounting the events of the Blackwater River Secret Realm.

“Deep within the Blackwater River Secret Realm lies a Demon Ancestor. When he attempted to break through the seal, he tore apart the spatial barrier. If left unchecked, a Demon Ancestor at the Thunder Tribulation Realm might sneak in through the crack.”

"It took us three days to first kill it, and finally use the 'Sealing Array' to completely seal off the secret realm and eliminate the hidden danger."

"This is happening!"

Upon hearing this, Xuanjizi's pupils suddenly contracted, and his white beard trembled.
"If the Thunder Tribulation Realm Demon Ancestor were to enter, the entire Yalong Ridge would be doomed! Dao Ancestor Ye's timely intervention truly saved the people from dire straits!"
