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

Chapter 1193 Wanbao Valley Displays Its Prestige, All Sects and Factions Offer Congratulations

"Junior Sister Yan, you are in charge of coordinating the various halls of the sect to relocate some shops and personnel from Tao'an Market to Wanbao Canyon, and prioritize the construction of a trading hall and defensive array."

"Elder Zhang, you should lead the cultivators from the Starry Sky Mine team to scout the canyon ahead of time to ensure that the demon race did not leave any traps when they evacuated."

"Deacon Zhao, take inventory of the unused spirit-gathering array plates and magical artifacts in the warehouse and transport them to the canyon to support initial operation."

"As ordered!"

The group responded in unison, their eyes filled with excitement.

Wanbao Gorge is a vital passage in the middle reaches of the Tongtian River.

Once this place is taken, the Flying Heaven Sect's Dao City will be able to radiate throughout the entire basin, and the shortage of spirit stones and resources will soon be filled.

Ye Yang then looked at the other elders.

"In addition, this relocation will require the use of the Heavenly Spirit Ship, and the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon will accompany us. This will demonstrate the strength of our Flying Heaven Sect and deter the surrounding sects and demons from making any rash moves."

"Secondly, the Purple Lightning Dragon can deter the monsters around the canyon and ensure safety during the migration."

Three days later, just as dawn was breaking, Feitianmen Square was already bustling with people.

The Heavenly Spirit Ship hovered in mid-air, its hull covered with golden runes that shone brightly in the morning light.

The purple lightning dragon coiled around the spirit ship, its purple lightning intertwining with the golden light of the spirit ship to create a spectacular sight.

Ye Yang stood at the bow of the spirit ship, followed by Yan Qingying, Elder Zhang and other core members, as well as hundreds of cultivators.

He glanced at the crowd and said loudly.

"set off!"

The celestial spirit ship broke through the morning mist and slowly sailed into the sky above Wanbao Canyon.

The canyon below has long lost the ferocious aura that once roamed with demons.

The members of the Senhuang Demon Clan were carrying their packs and orderly evacuating along the path on the banks of the Tongtian River.

The Demon King of Ten Thousand Trees stood beside the boulder at the entrance of the canyon. Seeing the spirit ship approaching, he quickly led several demon elders forward and bowed in greeting.

"Master Ye".

The Demon Emperor of Ten Thousand Woods spoke respectfully, his gaze sweeping over the Flying Heaven Sect cultivators who were fully prepared to depart on the spirit ship and the circling Purple Lightning Dragon. Although there was reluctance in his eyes, he dared not make the slightest move.

"All demon clan members have been cleared from the canyon. The spiritual veins, water sources, and previous defensive formations have all been sealed off, awaiting inspection and takeover by the Dao Ancestor."

Ye Yang stood at the bow of the boat, nodded slightly, and signaled Elder Zhang to lead his men ashore to investigate.

Elder Zhang accepted the order and led twenty cultivators off the spirit ship, carefully inspecting various parts of the canyon with their magical artifacts in hand.

From the site of the demon's lair to the location of the spiritual spring, and then to the trading platform in the middle of the canyon.

Only after confirming that there were no traps or residual demonic energy did they return to the spirit ship to report.

"Dao Ancestor, the canyon is safe; you may take over!"

Yan Qingying then gave the order, and the cultivators split into two groups and proceeded.

One team was responsible for setting up a temporary defensive array and carving the Flying Heaven Sect's sect runes on the rock walls on both sides of the canyon to demonstrate their sovereignty.

Meanwhile, the other team, carrying spirit-gathering array plates and spiritual materials, went to the open space in the center of the canyon to prepare the basic framework for the Dao City.

Seeing this, the Demon King of Ten Thousand Trees took a step forward and cupped his hands to Ye Yang.

"Dao Ancestor, I know that the Flying Heaven Sect intends to establish a Dao Market here. I have specially asked an elder in my clan who is skilled in formations to stay behind and instruct your sect's cultivators on how to control the original defensive formations in the canyon, so as to save some trouble."

After saying that, he beckoned to a demon cultivator in a green robe.

The demon cultivator had a deer's head and a human body, holding a scroll of animal skin covered with complex runes, which was the core diagram of the Forest Wood Demon Clan's magic array.

Yan Qingying took the animal skin scroll, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She had thought that the demon race would leave some problems after they withdrew, but she didn't expect the Demon King of Ten Thousand Trees to be so cooperative.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yang understood. After the previous intimidation and reminders, the Demon Emperor of Ten Thousand Woods no longer dared to be an enemy of the Flying Heaven Sect. This show of goodwill was just to leave a way out for the demon race.

"The Demon Emperor is very kind."

Ye Yang spoke calmly.

"If the Senhuang Demon Clan encounters any difficulties in the Black Wind Forest in the future, as long as it does not violate morality, the Flying Heaven Sect may provide assistance as appropriate."

Upon hearing this, the Demon King of Ten Thousand Trees showed a hint of gratitude in his eyes and quickly bowed to thank him. Then, without lingering, he turned and left with the last few demon disciples, soon disappearing into the dense forest downstream of the Tongtian River.

Only after the demon race had completely withdrawn did Ye Yang leap off the spirit ship and step into the heart of the canyon.

He walked slowly along the canyon, his gaze sweeping over the steep rock walls and narrow riverbed on both sides.

Although Wanbao Canyon is located in the middle reaches of the Tongtian River, its interior varies in width, with the widest part spanning several miles.

The narrowest part can only accommodate two spirit horses side by side. If a Dao market is to be established to accommodate caravans from various sects, this space is far from enough.

"Senior brother, is there something amiss?"

Yan Qingying followed closely behind, and seeing Ye Yang stop and ponder, she asked softly.

Ye Yang raised his hand and pointed to the rock walls on both sides of the canyon, his brows furrowing slightly.

"The space here is cramped, and if caravans gather here, it will be very easy to cause congestion."

"Furthermore, the rock walls block spiritual energy, which is not conducive to the effectiveness of the spirit-gathering array. If we want to expand the Dao City, we must broaden its hinterland."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators all looked up at the towering rock wall.

The rock wall was exceptionally hard, and contained many black stones imbued with demonic energy. Ordinary magical artifacts could not budge it, and widening it would be no easy task.

Ye Yang remained calm and composed, gripping the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword on his back with his right hand and the Evil King Blade at his waist with his left.

The next moment, he gripped the sword in his hand, and his Dao power surged out wildly.

In an instant!
Countless streams of dark demonic energy surged from his body, flowing into the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade.

Stupid!
The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword emitted a clear sword cry, its blade gleaming with a faint azure light, with the phantom of an azure dragon swirling in the shadows.

The Evil King Blade, on the other hand, exudes a chilling aura, its blade shrouded in black mist that seems to devour the surrounding light.

"rise."

Ye Yang gave a soft shout, then leaped into the air, hovering in mid-air in the center of the canyon.

He wielded a knife in his left hand and a sword in his right. As the knife and sword clashed, countless sword energies and dark blade light merged instantly, transforming into a two-colored stream of light that slashed towards the rock wall on the left!
"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed throughout the canyon.

Black stones on the cliff face flew like shattered jade, and the hard rock became as fragile as paper under the force of swords and blades.

They vanished as easily as cutting tofu.

Soon after, the cyan-gold sword energy severed the foundation of the rock.

The jet-black blade light shattered the rubble into fine sand, which slid down the rock wall and into the Tongtian River below without any obstruction.

Everyone was stunned.

Ye Yang's sword and saber strikes were not only incredibly powerful, but he also precisely controlled their destructive force, avoiding damage to the spiritual veins and riverbeds below. Even the flying pebbles were guided by the sword's edge, preventing accidental injury to cultivators.

Ye Yang did not stop; his figure moved rapidly in the air, and the light of his swords flashed continuously.

Soon, under his sword, a hundred feet of rock wall on the left was sheared away. Then, Ye Yang turned to the right and used the power of his sword to widen the rock wall in the same way.

The light of cyan and black intertwined in the canyon, like two streams of light painting on the rock wall.

The once narrow canyon interior has been widened at a visible speed.

About half an hour later, Ye Yang sheathed his sword and landed on the ground.

At this time, the interior of Wanbao Canyon was already hundreds of feet wide.

Even the rock walls on both sides are smooth and flat, and sunlight shines through the top of the canyon, illuminating the entire hinterland.

In an instant, even the spiritual energy in the air became more concentrated.

"The divine might of the Dao Ancestor!"

The monks stepped forward one after another, their eyes filled with awe and excitement.

With such ample space, the city's planning can proceed smoothly.

The development of Flying Gate has taken another step forward.

Ye Yang looked at the widened canyon and a smile appeared on his lips.

He raised his hand to summon Steward Zhao and gave him instructions.

"Immediately proceed with the previous plan to construct the trading hall and shops, embed the spirit-gathering array plate into the rock wall, and ensure that the Dao Market is initially operational within ten days."

"Yes! Dao Ancestor!"

Deacon Zhao responded and left, his heart filled with enthusiasm.

Yan Qingying walked to Ye Yang's side, looked at the scene before her, and sighed softly.

"Senior brother's sword and saber have not only widened the canyon, but also laid the foundation for the Flying Heaven Sect in the Tongtian River. When other sects come to trade in the future and see this scene, they will surely have even greater respect for the Flying Heaven Sect."

Ye Yang nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on the distant Tongtian River.

The takeover and expansion of Wanbao Canyon is only the first step.

Next, there are many things waiting for him to do, such as mining with the Starry Sky Mine team, collecting the five elements of essence, dealing with the threat from the Demon Realm, and so on.

soon.

Within a few days, the news that Feitianmen had taken over Wanbao Valley and expanded its territory to prepare for the Dao City spread like wildfire throughout all the sects along the Tongtian River in just three days.

Inside the council chamber of the Aoki Gate.

The middle-aged cultivator watching from the outside of the Blackwater River Secret Realm held the communication jade talisman, his hands trembling slightly, his voice filled with disbelief.

"You would never guess! Not only did the Flying Heaven Sect force the Forest Emperor Demon Clan to withdraw from the Myriad Treasures Valley, but Dao Ancestor Ye also personally intervened, using his sword to cleave open the rock walls on both sides. Now they have begun constructing the trading hall, and I heard that the Dao Market will open in a month!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this news, the elders of the Aoki Sect in the council hall immediately erupted in uproar.

An elderly man with white hair suddenly stood up, and the teacup in his hand crashed to the ground with a loud bang.

"The Senhuang Demon Clan has occupied Wanbao Valley for thousands of years, and countless sects have tried but failed to gain any advantage. How did the Flying Heaven Sect manage to take it over so easily? And that master of both sword and saber can split a rock wall in one strike?"

"This...this is just too brutal!"

“There’s more!”

The middle-aged cultivator swallowed hard and continued.

"I heard from the disciples who were scouting near Wanbao Canyon that the Flying Heaven Sect has also brought in the Heavenly Spirit Ship, and the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon is coiled above the canyon. The surrounding demonic beasts don't even dare to approach!"

"They also transformed the defensive formation left behind by the demon race into a city-protecting formation. Now the entire Wanbao Valley is shrouded in the spiritual light of the Flying Heaven Sect, it's quite magnificent!"

Similar scenes were simultaneously occurring in more than a dozen sects along the Tongtian River.

In the plaza of the Blazing Fire Sect, cultivators surrounded the scout who had just returned from the Myriad Treasures Canyon, bombarding him with questions.

Meanwhile, in the elders' council of the Xuan Shui Sect, the sect leader, holding the Dao City investment promotion document sent by the Fei Tian Sect, discussed it with the elders with a solemn expression.

Even the Iron Sword Sect, which had previously had minor clashes with the Flying Heaven Sect, held an emergency meeting to discuss whether to send someone to the Flying Heaven Sect to offer congratulations and to strive for priority trading rights in the Dao City.

"We thought that even if the Flying Heaven Sect took over Wanbao Valley, it would take them a year or two. We didn't expect them to start building Dao City so quickly!"

The sect leader of the Blazing Fire Sect stroked his chin, his eyes filled with awe.

"With Ye Yang's strength and the Flying Sky Sect's execution capabilities, if we don't align ourselves with them soon, we'll have no place to stand in Wanbao Canyon!"

"The sect leader is right!"

An elder quickly echoed this sentiment.

"Wanbao Gorge is the vital passage of the Tongtian River. Once the Dao Market of Feitian Gate opens, all the merchant caravans of all sects will have to pass through there."

"If we can build a good relationship with the Flying Heaven Sect, we can not only get priority in purchasing their Demon-Slaying Pills and Demon-Purifying Talismans, but we might also be able to develop the Star Domain and Demon Domain together with them. At that time, our Blazing Fire Sect can reach a new level!"

On the Xuan Shui Sect's side, the sect leader looked at the words "fair trade, joint resistance against demonic scourge" on the investment promotion document and slowly spoke.

"The Flying Heaven Sect is trying to integrate the power of the Tongtian River. Dao Ancestor Ye not only has strength, but also foresight."

“He knows that the Flying Heaven Sect alone cannot deal with the Thunder Tribulation Demon Ancestor of the Demon Realm, so he built this Dao City to win over us. We must seize this opportunity.”

Meanwhile, at the Iron Sword Sect, even the Grand Elder, who had previously advocated for opposing the Flying Sky Sect, bowed his head in humility.

"I was shortsighted before. The Flying Heaven Gate can make the Forest Emperor Demon Clan obediently withdraw and can easily widen the canyon. Their strength is far beyond what we can compare to."

"Now that the Dao City is about to open, if we still hold onto our old ideas, we will be left behind by other sects sooner or later."

"I suggest that we send the young sect leader to the Flying Sky Sect to apologize in person, and at the same time try to secure a cooperation opportunity. From now on, the Iron Sword Sect should follow in the footsteps of the Flying Sky Sect."

When the news reached the Taixu Daoist sect.

Xuanjizi was discussing with Xuanling Daoist the matter of supporting the Demon Realm.

After hearing the details of Feitianmen taking over Wanbao Valley, Xuanjizi remained silent for a long time before finally sighing.

"The Flying Heaven Sect has made a brilliant move! By using Dao City as a link, they have not only solved the sect's resource shortage but also won over other sects in the Tongtian River, thus forming an alliance with the Flying Heaven Sect at its core."

Xuanling Daoist nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with admiration.

Within just ten days, more than twenty sects along the Tongtian River sent envoys with generous gifts to the Feitian Sect.

Some wanted to compete for shop slots in Dao City, while others wanted to establish trading partnerships with the Flying Heaven Sect for elixirs and magical artifacts.

Some even offered to send cultivators to join the Flying Heaven Sect's support team in the Demon Realm.

Everyone knows that the actions of the Flying Heaven Gate in Wanbao Canyon have completely changed the power structure of the Tongtian River.

Only by closely following the steps of the Flying Heaven Sect can we gain a foothold in the future demonic calamities and competition.

Meanwhile, in Wanbao Valley, the cultivators of the Flying Heaven Sect were still busy building the Dao Market.

Ye Yang stood at the top of the newly built trading hall, looking at the envoys from various sects arriving one after another, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

He knew that the establishment of Wanbaodao City was not only key to Feitianmen expanding its financial resources.

It is also the starting point for uniting the power of the Tongtian River and showcasing the strength of the Flying Heaven Gate.
