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

Ye Yang carefully put away the jade bottle and the animal skin scroll, then pushed open the bamboo door and walked out of Jingxin Pavilion.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten, and the morning mist over the Feitianmen's residence had not yet dissipated.

The air is filled with a rich, moist, and spiritual energy, mixed with the refreshing fragrance of green bamboo, which is very pleasant.

Gazing at the faint spiritual light appearing and disappearing among the distant mountains, Ye Yang took a deep breath. Even though he hadn't yet circulated his energy, the Dao power around his body unconsciously began to flow.

As it blended with the spiritual energy of the morning, a faint blue halo formed around it.

The next moment, Ye Yang walked lightly to the open space on the east side of the courtyard and raised his hand to call out softly.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword quickly flew out of his storage ring and hovered in front of him.

In an instant, the sword gleamed with a lustrous blue light, and the dragon patterns on the sword seemed to come alive, trembling gently with his breath.

Ye Yang gripped the hilt of the sword, not in a hurry to make a move, but instead closed his eyes and focused his consciousness into the sword.

He sensed the righteous sword intent contained within the sword, and after a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, flicked his wrist, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword in his hand emitted a clear sword cry.

Immediately afterwards, countless cyan sword energies emerged, slicing across the ground and cutting a half-person-high slab of bluestone in the courtyard in two, the cut as smooth as a mirror, without a single fragment.

Ye Yang moved swiftly, his sword flashing.

The combined sword and saber techniques slowly unfolded in his hands.

Unlike the disassembly demonstration when he was being taught at the Dao Alliance, his swordsmanship now appeared more refined and smooth.

Every move and stance embodies an understanding of the "Tao," and the sword energy sometimes resembles a blue dragon emerging from the sea, exuding a majestic aura.

Sometimes it's like a gentle drizzle, nourishing things silently.

As he got into the swing of things, he flicked his fingertips, and even the Evil King Blade flew out, forming two streaks of light, one blue and one black, with the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword, intertwining and swirling in the courtyard.

The combined power of swords and blades far exceeds that of using them individually.

Under his control, the spiritual energy in the air was constantly drawn in, forming vortexes that surrounded him.

As the morning mist was dispersed by the sword's energy, sunlight shone through the clouds, falling on the swords and reflecting a dazzling light.

The entire courtyard seemed to be enveloped in a dreamlike halo.

By the time the sword practice ended, it was nearly noon.

Ye Yang sheathed his sword, his forehead damp with a thin layer of sweat, but his eyes grew even clearer.

He walked to the clear spring behind the Tranquil Heart Pavilion, wiped himself with the spiritual spring water, took out the animal skin scroll that recorded the "Breaking Barrier Azure Nether Pill", and began to study it carefully.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the bamboo leaves and fell onto the animal skin roll.

The yellowed animal hide looked even more ancient, and the writing on it was clearly visible in the sunlight, each character seemingly containing the secrets of ancient alchemy.

Ye Yang's brows furrowed slightly as he lightly traced the record of "Millennial Star Lotus Heart" with his fingertips.

This medicinal herb is extremely rare, and Feitianmen does not have it in its inventory.

If one wishes to obtain it, one will likely need to venture into the depths of the starry sea in the future.

However, right now, he is more focused on the integration of alchemy with his own Dao power.

Thinking of this, Ye Yang took out the herbal aura of the green ice marrow he had extracted earlier, placed it in the spring water, and tried to fuse the medicinal properties again.

This time, he no longer deliberately controlled it, but let the power of the Dao flow naturally with the flow of the spring water, and incorporated his understanding of the Dao of the sword, "overcoming the hard with the soft", into it.

As the Dao power circulated, the green halo in the spring water gradually merged with the spiritual energy of the spring, forming an even richer turquoise light.

Within the ball of light, the cold medicinal properties of the Green Ice Marrow Grass were gently released, and the previous disorder was gone. Instead, it formed a wonderful balance with the warm spiritual energy of the spiritual spring.

A hint of joy flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.

He knew that he was one step closer to successfully refining the Barrier-Breaking Azure Nether Pill.

After collecting the essence of the Green Ice Marrow Grass, Ye Yang went to the spiritual vein of the Flying Heaven Sect's base.

The spiritual veins here are abundant, as the Flying Heaven Sect later moved here.

He arrived at the Spirit Spring Valley, looked at the spiritual vein patterns in front of him, and carefully repaired the runes that had been eroded by demonic energy, gathering a wisp of pure Dao power at his fingertips.

Each time a rune is repaired, a faint light illuminates the sealing array.

And the flow of the spiritual spring increased accordingly.

Ye Yang dared not slack off in the slightest, concentrating his spiritual sense to carefully perceive the state of each rune.

The spiritual spring in the valley flowed gently, and spiritual energy continuously flowed into his body, replenishing the Dao power consumed in repairing the runes.

Occasionally, a few birds would land on the valley wall, watching him curiously, but daring not to make a sound.

Ye Yang didn't finish repairing the spiritual veins until the sun was setting.

He sat by the spiritual spring, gazing at the sunset on the horizon, and began to circulate his cultivation technique to absorb the spiritual energy within.

soon.

He continuously absorbed this vast spiritual energy into his body, which was then transformed into Dao power and integrated into his dantian.

At this moment, Ye Yang could clearly feel that the Dao power in his dantian was becoming more and more solid, and he was even one step closer to breaking through to the Void Refining Realm.

The Jingxinxuan Pavilion is exceptionally quiet at night.

Ye Yang sat by the window and took out the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword again, wiping the blade by the moonlight.

The dragon pattern on the sword was exceptionally clear under the moonlight.

He gazed at his reflection in the sword, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Although the cultivators in the cultivation world have now occupied the Star Sea Demon Realm.

However, the threat from the demons has not been eliminated, and we still cannot be careless.

the following few days.

Ye Yang then began his cultivation at the Flying Heaven Sect's headquarters.

The past few days have been quite relaxing and enjoyable with nothing much happening.

Watching the sunrise and sunset, the clouds come and go every day, I've been practicing spiritual cultivation for so long that I don't know how long it's been since I've encountered such a scene.

This day.

As soon as Ye Yang stepped out of his secluded meditation room, he sensed something was amiss.

The once fresh and abundant spiritual energy within the Flying Heaven Gate now carried a faint, sinister aura in his perception.

Like clear water stained with ink, subtle yet strikingly bright.

He frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.

Only then did they discover that the Star Sea Demon Realm outside the Flying Heaven Gate's base was originally a chaotic void.

Since the Flying Heaven Sect established its base here, it has used the mountain-protecting formation and purification talismans to dispel most of the demonic energy within a hundred miles.

I don't know how long it has been since I've seen a scene like this.

Ye Yang looked up at the sky and found that a faint layer of gray-black mist was rising at the edge of the sky. At this moment, the black mist was slowly spreading towards the camp like a tide.

Wherever the fog passed, even the spiritual energy in the air became stagnant.

"Oh no, the demonic energy has returned!"

Ye Yang was puzzled. A flash of green light appeared under his feet, and he instantly took to the air and flew towards the edge of the camp.

But the closer they got to the border of the base, the stronger the sinister aura became, and they could even hear a faint hissing sound in the air. It was as if demonic energy was eroding the barrier of the protective array.

He knew that the Flying Heaven Sect's protective formation was set up by hundreds of cultivators working together.

After that, not only were the external spiritual veins moved over, but countless spirit stones were also added, making it indestructible and full of spiritual energy.

But at this moment, for some reason, the spiritual light at the core of the formation was much dimmer than usual.

The originally flowing golden light patterns were now covered with a thin layer of grayish-black substance, like rusty iron, hindering the operation of the formation.

Ye Yang hovered above the formation, unleashing his full spiritual sense to cover the entire Flying Heaven Gate base.

He quickly discovered the crux of the problem.

On the west side of the base, near the depths of the Star Sea Demon Realm, a tiny crack appeared in space.

The spatial barrier surrounding the crack rippled like water, showing signs of breaking.

What alarmed him even more was...

From that crack, dense demonic energy was continuously gushing out. This demonic energy bypassed the weak points of the mountain-protecting formation and silently seeped into the interior of the camp.

"Is the spatial barrier about to break?"

Ye Yang's face darkened, and he sped up, flying westward.

The closer you get to the location of the crack, the stronger the spatial fluctuations become.

Even the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

On the originally flat mountain rocks, tiny cracks appeared, and faint black smoke was rising from the cracks.

Just then, he suddenly sensed a chaotic fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from below.

Looking down, one could see that the white spiritual energy clouds that had been swirling around the source of the spiritual vein at the Flying Heaven Gate's base had become much thinner.

A noticeable gap has appeared in the spiritual vein sealing array at the valley entrance.

Countless pure spiritual energies were leaking out from the gap, intertwining with the surging demonic energy to form a mass of grayish-white chaotic energy.

Ye Yang's heart tightened, and he swooped down, landing at the entrance of Lingquan Valley.

As soon as he landed, he felt a strong loss of spiritual energy.

The spiritual spring within the Spiritual Spring Valley was the lifeblood of the Flying Heaven Sect. Its gushing water was so rich in spiritual energy that it was almost tangible.

But now, the flow of the spring has decreased by more than half, and the water has lost its former clarity, becoming somewhat turbid.

The spiritual vein sealing array carved on the valley wall has many runes that have become dim and lifeless, and some runes have even been eroded by demonic energy, rendering them completely useless.

"The spiritual vein sealing array is damaged, and the spiritual energy is leaking out severely. If this continues, the spiritual veins of the Flying Heaven Sect will be completely depleted within three months!"

Ye Yang reached out and touched the runes of the sealing array. He looked up at the direction of the spatial rift and understood what was going on.

It was precisely because the spatial barrier was about to break and a large amount of demonic energy poured in that it eroded the spiritual vein sealing array, causing the spiritual energy to leak out.

Just then, several figures rushed over.

The one leading them was none other than the sect leader, Gu Xuan.

"For some reason, the demonic energy in the Star Sea Demon Realm has suddenly surged in the past few days, damaging the protective array and causing problems with the spiritual veins!"

Ye Yang nodded and activated his sword eyes to look. In the distance, countless demonic energies soared into the sky.

Clearly, this situation is not unique to the Flying Heaven Sect.

Nowadays, many sects in the Star Sea Demon Realm probably have similar scenes.

“I have already checked. The western spatial barrier is about to break, and the demonic energy is pouring in from there, eroding the spiritual vein sealing array.”

"The most urgent task is to repair the spatial barrier to stop the demonic energy from continuing to pour in, and then repair the spiritual vein sealing array to prevent further leakage of spiritual energy."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan's face showed a troubled expression.

“Repairing the spatial barrier requires a large number of high-grade spirit stones and high-level talismans, but our Flying Heaven Sect’s reserves were already depleted in the previous war against the demons, and it seems that the quantity is currently insufficient.”

Ye Yang raised an eyebrow and looked back at the direction of the spatial rift.

He could clearly feel the spatial fluctuations at the crack becoming increasingly intense.

You can even see countless dark shadows writhing on the other side of the crack in the sky.

Those were demonic creatures lurking deep within the Star Sea Demon Realm.

They are waiting for the spatial barrier to break so they can take the opportunity to invade the Flying Gate's base.

“I will handle the issue of spirit stones. You all need to immediately organize your disciples to reinforce the mountain-protecting formation and minimize the influx of demonic energy.”

As soon as Ye Yang finished speaking, his Dao power surged.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade once again hovered beside him.

"I'll go and temporarily suppress the expansion of the spatial rift to buy you some time."

After saying that, Ye Yang's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of cyan sword light, and flew towards the spatial rift to the west.

Upon seeing this, Gu Xuan and the others hurriedly bowed and then turned and quickly left.

Ye Yang flew above the spatial rift, looking at the ever-expanding crack, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

He raised his hand and waved it, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword emitted a crisp sword sound. The sword body shone with a dazzling azure light, and countless sword energies surged from the sword body, flying towards the crack.

The sword energy landed on the spatial barrier surrounding the crack, forming a cyan light net that temporarily stabilized the crack's expansion.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yang condensed strands of power at his fingertips and quickly inscribed runes in the void.

These runes were learned from his Void Escape Technique. Although they were not as profound as those of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, they were enough to temporarily suppress the expansion of the spatial rift.

The runes fell into the light net, instantly making the net even more stable.

The spatial fluctuations at the crack also decreased somewhat.

Just then, the shadow on the other side of the crack suddenly accelerated its crawling speed.

A dense surge of demonic energy erupted from the crack, breaking through the cyan light net and hurtling towards Ye Yang.

Ye Yang's eyes narrowed, and the Evil King Blade instantly unleashed a black blade of energy that collided with the demonic energy, producing a loud bang.

"It seems these demons won't give us much time."

Ye Yang thought to himself, and his Dao power surged again, causing the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade to roar simultaneously.

He knew this was only the beginning of the crisis.

Meanwhile, Gu Xuan and several elders were organizing their disciples to reinforce the spiritual vein sealing array on the other side.

"This can't go on. The spiritual energy from the low-grade spirit stones is simply not enough. Before long, the sealing array will completely collapse."

An elder said with great concern.

Gu Xuan sighed, his gaze fixed on the direction of the spatial rift to the west, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

"Ye Daozu's side has gradually closed the spatial rift. Let's wait and see."

In the sky, Ye Yang could sense that the demonic power on the other side of the crack was growing stronger and stronger.

Several of their auras had even reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage. (End of Chapter)
