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

Chapter 1191 One sword strike subdues a horde of demons; the name of a master of both sword and saber.
After Yan Qingying left, the quiet room returned to tranquility.

Ye Yang picked up the jade box containing the fragments of the Heavenly Book and gently stroked the patterns on the box with his fingertips.

In any case, he finally found a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough from this fragment of the heavenly book.

The regret caused by the shortage of spirit stones was gradually replaced by anticipation for the future.

"rise!"

The next moment, Ye Yang opened the jade box.

The thirty-six damaged fragments immediately rose up without wind and floated in the air once more.

The dark golden runes, nourished by the spiritual energy of the spirit-gathering array, seemed to come alive as they slowly circulated.

It formed a subtle resonance with the primordial spirit power surrounding him.

"Although the breakthrough needs to be postponed, if we can use this time to thoroughly understand the fragments of the Heavenly Book and the Void Escape Technique, the breakthrough may come naturally when the resources are ready."

Ye Yang murmured softly, his fingertips gently brushing against the fragments with Dao power.

The next moment, the runes in the box lit up instantly, filling his eyes with light.

He could feel it clearly.

At this moment, the concept of "tempering the Dao with demons" in the fragments is becoming increasingly integrated with the "Mysterious Origin Returning to One Technique".

The bottleneck in spatial comprehension was gradually loosened under the nourishment of the Void Escape Technique.

Now everything is ready, except for the five elements' essence.

Ye Yang let out a breath, and after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he put away the fragments and scroll, and slowly walked out of the quiet room.

Just as he stepped out of the meditation room, Ye Yang heard the sound of orderly footsteps and the clanging of magical artifacts coming from afar.

He looked up.

In the distance, on the plaza of the Flying Heaven Sect, dozens of Flying Heaven Sect cultivators were gathering and waiting for orders.

Elder Zhang stood at the front of the group, holding the Pine Breeze Sword, and was counting the number of people.

On the other side, Steward Zhao, who was in charge of mining the spirit mine, was directing his disciples to move mining tools. Wooden boxes engraved with runes for "gathering spirit" and "reinforcing" were neatly stacked to the side.

This is clearly preparation for the formation of the "Starry Sky Mining Team".

"I've heard that meteorite ore is very precious; a single piece can sell for a lot of high-grade spirit stones. If we could mine more, our lives would be much better!"

"Once Dao Ancestor Ye makes another breakthrough, our Flying Heaven Sect's position in the Dao Alliance will be even more secure. Let's see who dares to look down on us then!"

Many disciples from various sects were discussing among themselves, full of ideas about the future.

"Look, that's Daozu Ye!"

Just at this time.

A cultivator standing beside the square seemed to have spotted Ye Yang and quickly bowed respectfully.

His shouts attracted the attention of everyone in the square.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in Ye Yang's direction, their eyes filled with excitement.

Many people are seeing this legendary Taoist patriarch for the first time.

Upon meeting the real person, he was extremely excited.

The Dao Ancestor's personal emergence from seclusion undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm.

Ye Yang nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the busy crowd, a smile appearing on his lips.

He looked at the monks lined up in neat rows and asked a question.

"How is the preparation for the Starry Sky Mine team progressing?"

Elder Zhang quickly cupped his hands in response.

"Reporting to the Dao Ancestor, twenty True Immortal cultivators have been selected so far. They are all experts in close combat and defense, and their magical artifacts and elixirs are ready."

"Once a message is sent back from the star system confirming the exact location of the asteroid belt, we can set off immediately!"

"it is good."

Ye Yang nodded and then looked at Deacon Zhao.

"Can the mining efforts at the Five Elements Spirit Mine keep up?" Deacon Zhao stepped forward, his tone carrying a hint of certainty.

"Rest assured, Dao Ancestor! We have already selected three hundred disciples skilled in refining, and we have also taken three 'Five Elements Refining Furnaces' from the storeroom."

"It's just that the Five Elements Lands controlled by the sect are of poor quality, so even with the sect's combined efforts to refine them, there is still a gap to reach the required 5,000 jin."

Ye Yang nodded. After discussing with Yan Qingying, he now had a general understanding of the sect's situation.

Ye Yang naturally heard the discussion, but he didn't say anything.

They simply walked to the high platform in the center of the square.

He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and his voice quickly spread throughout the entire square.

"Thank you all for your hard work during this time."

"It's no trouble at all. I'm willing to fight alongside the Dao Ancestor!"

The monks in the square responded in unison, their voices deafening.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yang nodded slightly, then, without lingering any longer, transformed into a beam of sword light and vanished into the horizon.

After leaving the Flying Heaven Gate, Ye Yang had a clear goal: to follow the Tongtian River and continue towards the Wanbao Canyon.

Wanbao Canyon is located near a primeval forest.

The closer you get, the more humid the air becomes.

Before long, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The raindrops, whipped up by the eerie winds of the canyon, resembled sharp needles.

It made a "crackling" sound when it hit the ground.

An eerie stillness permeated the canyon.

Only the occasional roar of a monstrous beast broke the silence.

There is still in the air
The dense, demonic aura mixed with the rainwater, creating an unpleasant, fishy-sweet smell.

"It seems we're close to the territory of the Forest Emperor Demon Clan. No wonder the demonic aura is so dense."

Ye Yang stopped and glanced at the entrance of the canyon shrouded in demonic power.

On the giant rock at the entrance, the four large characters "Forbidden Land of the Forest Emperor" were carved in a crooked manner.

There were still traces of blood between the characters, clearly left by the cultivators who had tried to break in earlier.

Just as Ye Yang was observing the terrain, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the canyon, accompanied by the unique roar of the demon race.

The next moment, dozens of enormous demonic beasts appeared in front of him.

Leading the group was a bear demon that was two zhang tall, covered in black mane, with bloodshot eyes, and a green-glowing demon core embedded at the top of the bone staff in its hand.

Upon seeing Ye Yang appear, the bear demon roared angrily.

"Human cultivators! How dare you trespass on the forbidden land of my Forest Emperor Demon Clan!"

"Take this from my Bear King's staff!"

In an instant.

Black Mane Bear King swung his bone staff, and a dark green demonic energy shot towards Ye Yang.

Wherever the demonic power passed, the rainwater was stained a deep green and carried a corrosive aura.

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for tearing you apart and eating you whole!"

The other demon cultivators also drew their weapons, bone knives, beast claws, poison thorns, and other weapons gleaming coldly in the rain.
They surrounded Ye Yang, their eyes filled with ferocity.

The Senhuang Demon Clan has occupied Wanbao Valley for many years. Not only are they numerous and powerful, but they are also close to the Wanmu Forest and have long been accustomed to acting domineeringly.

Previously, cultivators who had broken in had either died or been injured; no one had ever dared to stand at the entrance of the canyon like Ye Yang, without any fear.

Ye Yang remained calm as the demons attacked.

He slowly raised his hand, and without any visible movement, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword on his back was automatically drawn.

The next moment, countless cyan-gold sword energies, like a dense net of swords, instantly enveloped the area in front.

With a "rip" sound!
The countless demonic energies were instantly cleaved apart by the sword energy, turning into a sky full of green mist that dissipated in the rain.

Even the bone staff in the Black-Maned Bear King's hand trembled slightly from the aftershocks of the sword energy. The Black-Maned Bear King's pupils contracted sharply, and the ferocity on his face was instantly replaced by shock.

"Such powerful sword energy! Who...who are you? How dare you attack my Forest Emperor Demon Clan!"

He could clearly sense that Ye Yang's strength far exceeded his expectations.

Especially the moment the opponent drew his sword, his demonic power stirred slightly, as if it were being forcibly suppressed.

The opponent is terrifyingly powerful!
Ye Yang did not answer, but slowly raised the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword.

The next moment, an extremely thin cyan-gold sword aura shot out from the tip of the sword, moving with lightning speed, and instantly slashed across the left shoulder of the Black-Maned Bear King.

Blackmane Bear King felt a chill on his shoulder. When he looked down, he saw a deep, bone-revealing wound on his shoulder.

"what!"

The black-maned bear cried out in pain, staggered back two steps, and its eyes were filled with terror.

The demon cultivators behind him were so frightened that their faces turned deathly pale, and the weapons in their hands began to tremble slightly.

They had never seen such a powerful human cultivator.

Even Xiong Jun, who was a powerful figure in the Demon Emperor's territory, was easily injured by the opponent.

"roll."

Ye Yang's voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority. His cyan-gold Dao power slowly spread out, dispelling all the surrounding demonic energy.

“Go back and tell the Forest Demon Emperor that the Flying Heaven Sect wants the Myriad Treasures Valley. If the Forest Demon Emperor’s clan does not withdraw from the Myriad Treasures Valley within three days, the Flying Heaven Sect will come to wipe them out personally.”

After saying this, Ye Yang ignored the demon cultivators and walked straight into the depths of the canyon.

Black Mane Bear King stared at Ye Yang's retreating figure, his heart filled with apprehension.

He could sense that the sword strike just now was not delivered with full force; if the opponent had truly intended to kill him, he would have already perished.

He wanted to stop him, but the sharp pain in his shoulder and the sword energy that suppressed the demonic power frightened him so much that he dared not step forward. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Yang's figure disappeared into the rain in the depths of the canyon.

Seeing that even the Black-Maned Bear Lord dared not stop them, the other demon cultivators were even more frightened and retreated repeatedly, fleeing into the depths of the canyon while shouting incessantly.

"Something terrible has happened! A powerful human cultivator has broken in! Quickly, report this to the Demon Emperor!"

"Wait, this person mentioned the Flying Heaven Sect! Could this person be Ye Daozu, the peerless master of both swords and sabers from the Flying Heaven Sect?"

"This man is a killer! Retreat! Retreat quickly, don't provoke him."

Soon, beside the "Forbidden Land of the Forest Emperor" stone carving at the entrance of Wanbao Canyon, only the Black Mane Bear King remained, clutching his bleeding shoulder, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.

He knew that the days when the Senhuang demon clan occupied Wanbao Valley were probably coming to an end.

At this moment, Ye Yang had already ventured deep into the heart of Wanbao Canyon.

While exploring the distribution of demon nests and the direction of spiritual veins within the canyon, he planned in his mind the future development direction of the Flying Heaven Sect in establishing a market here.

He knew that with the deterrent effect of today's sword strike, the Senhuang Demon Clan would likely be wary. If they were sensible enough to withdraw, the Flying Heaven Gate could take over the canyon without bloodshed.

If they insist on resisting, the Flying Heaven Sect can easily wipe them out with its strength.

We should establish a market here as soon as possible to fill the sect's resource gap.

On the other hand.

Those demon cultivators tumbled and crawled into the demon's lair deep within the Wanbao Valley.

This demon's lair was built inside a huge hollow in an ancient tree.

A ghostly green campfire burned inside the cave.

Five powerful demons, each of them extraordinary, sat around the campfire.

The leader was a vine demon that covered several miles and had countless green branches growing on it; even its eyes shone with a bright green light.

He is the "Wanmu Demon Emperor" of the Senhuang Demon Clan.

"What a flustered and disorderly manner!"

The Demon King of Ten Thousand Trees toyed with a demon core in his hand. Seeing his subordinate in such a sorry state, his brows furrowed and his voice carried the sharpness unique to the demon race.

"So what happened?"

"Reporting to the Demon Emperor, human cultivators have broken in."

"I thought it was something serious, but it's just a human cultivator who wandered into the Demon Forest. Why are you all so scared?"

The wolf demon that rushed into the cave first was panting heavily, its claws leaving deep marks on the ground, its voice trembling.

"Demon Emperor! No ordinary cultivator! That person... that person injured the Black-Maned Bear King with a single sword strike! He even declared that we must withdraw from the canyon within three days, or he would wipe us out!"

"what?"

"What a courage!"

The demons inside the cave were instantly thrown into an uproar.

They all knew the strength of the Black Mane Bear King. Not only did he possess the bloodline of the Honghuang Thunder Bear, but his ancestors also included great demons at the Refinement of Void Dao Realm or above.

Even the Black-Maned Bear King was at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, and his physical body was incredibly powerful.

Even when facing an attack from several cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm, it would take considerable effort to injure him.

How could he be wounded by a single sword strike?
"Did you get a clear look at that person? What weapon were they using?"

The Demon King of Ten Thousand Woods' eyes sharpened instantly, and even the demon core in his hand stopped spinning.

The person who could injure the Black-Maned Bear King with a single sword strike was no ordinary individual, and he had a vague sense of foreboding.

The wolf demon tried hard to recall the scene from just now, its fear growing even stronger.

"That person was wearing a cyan-gold Taoist robe, with two weapons on his back. One was a sword that gleamed with cyan-gold light, and the other was a knife... The aura emanating from the knife was terrifying, as if it could devour a person's soul!"

"He didn't say the name, but that sword... the aura of that sword and that knife was terrifying. I feel like I've heard of it somewhere before!"

Just then, a snake suddenly stiffened, a look of fear flashed in its eyes, and its voice trembled.

"Your Majesty, he says he's from the Flying Heaven Sect!"

"Flying Gate?"

"A cyan-gold Taoist robe, a knife and a sword, a single sword strike wounding Xiong Jun... Could it be... that killer star from the Flying Heaven Sect?!"

"That Daozu Ye?!"

In an instant, a few words exploded like thunder in the cave.

The Demon King of Ten Thousand Woods suddenly stood up, his amber pupils contracted sharply, and he crushed the demon core in his hand with a "snap," green juice flowing down between his fingers.

The other demons were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their breathing became rapid.

This name was already widely known among the demons of the Tongtian River basin.

This person was skilled in both swordsmanship and sabers, having slain demons and annihilated demon cultivators. During his expedition to the Demon Realm, even demon ancestors above the Void Refinement Realm were killed by him in countless numbers.

"If it really is him, then we're in trouble!"

A hint of seriousness appeared in the eyes of the Myriad Wood Demon Emperor.

Although the Senhuang Demon Clan had previously occupied Wanbao Valley, they had never dared to provoke the Flying Heaven Gate, let alone confront Ye Yang directly.

"Impossible, right? Weren't they supposed to be dealing with the Demon Realm? Why would they suddenly come here?"

Gray Fang wanted to argue, but was glared at fiercely by Jade Scale.

"Why is it impossible? Besides him, who else could wound the Black-Maned Bear King with a single sword strike?!"

After these words were spoken, the cave fell completely silent, with only the crackling sound of the campfire breaking out.

The Demon Emperor of Ten Thousand Trees' face turned pale and then red. He had originally thought that if the other party was just someone with no special background, he would gather the power of the demon race to kill him.

Now that he knows it's Ye Yang, all that's left in his heart is fear.

Facing such a killer star, he was no match for him, not to mention that the other party had the entire Flying Heaven Sect behind him.

Whether it was Yan Qingying or Gu Xuan, both cultivators at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, or the Flying Heaven Sect's foundation, it far exceeded everyone's imagination.

"Demon Emperor! We can't just retreat like this! Wanbao Valley is our foundation. Where will we go if we retreat?"

A volatile tiger demon named "Red Forehead" slammed its fist on the ground, causing the pebbles inside the cave to jump.

"We have ten thousand demon cultivators, including demons at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm. If we fight, we might not lose!"

"Fight? What are you going to fight with?"
