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

Gu Xuan bowed to Su Muyao in greeting, but his gaze unconsciously fell on her as he secretly used his primordial spirit power to investigate.

As the leader of the Flying Heaven Sect, he has also guarded the Star Sea Demon Realm for many years.

Thanks to the resource support of the Star Sea Demon Realm, he has now reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, making him a powerful figure even in the entire cultivation world.

However, when probing Su Muyao's cultivation level, they only felt that she was shrouded in a faint mist.

The moment her primordial spirit power approached, it was repelled by an invisible force, which could not even detect her cultivation level.

"This……"

Gu Xuan was startled, and his composure was instantly replaced by shock.

He himself had already reached the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, yet he still couldn't see through the depths of the woman before him.

This means that Su Muyao's cultivation level is either comparable to his but she is good at concealing it, or it far surpasses his, reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul Dao Realm or even higher!
For such a person to be willing to condescend to come to the Flying Heaven Sect is undoubtedly a great blessing for the sect.

For a moment, even Gu Xuan's gaze towards Ye Yang held a touch of admiration and curiosity.

He was secretly curious about how this Daoist Ye had managed to persuade this powerful figure.

Meanwhile, Su Muyao closed her eyes and inquired. When she sensed Gu Xuan's probing, she was not displeased. Instead, she was secretly observing the Flying Heaven Sect leader.

Before coming with Ye Daozu, she had already learned about the Flying Heaven Sect.

They knew that this ancient sect leader was a core pillar of the sect.

Now, personally experiencing the other party's aura, he felt that the pressure of the Nascent Soul Dao Realm was even more steady and heavy, clearly indicating that the cultivator had a solid foundation and had been through many battles.

"The fact that the Flying Heaven Sect has managed to hold out through the demonic tide and carve out such a large territory proves that this ancient sect leader is indeed worthy of his reputation."

Su Muyao was secretly amazed, but she maintained a calm expression and bowed slightly to Gu Xuan in return.

"Su Muyao greets Sect Leader Gu. I have long heard of the Flying Sky Sect Leader's profound cultivation and composed demeanor. Meeting you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

Her voice was clear and gentle, yet it carried a confidence that should not be underestimated.

In stark contrast to her previous shyness when facing Ye Yang, she now displayed an air of great power.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan quickly abandoned his intention to investigate and cupped his hands in a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Su, you flatter me. It is an honor for our Flying Heaven Sect that you have graced us with your presence."

At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice, which then reached Ye Yang's ears, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry.

"I wonder if Dao Ancestor Ye has any specific arrangements for this Fellow Daoist Su?"

He knew Ye Yang's judgment well.

A person who commands such high regard from Ye Daozu must not be taken lightly.

We must find out the arrangements so that we can make the necessary preparations within the sect.

Ye Yang had already noticed the changes in their expressions and had his own plans.

Su Muyao came to the Flying Heaven Sect specifically for him, and she herself is a powerful figure above the Nascent Soul Dao Realm. If the arrangements are too casual, it will inevitably make her dissatisfied, which would be counterproductive.

Moreover, judging from his perspective, this woman probably had quite a few ideas about him.

In that case, we need to keep them in suspense and pique their interest.

Thinking of this, Ye Yang pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on Su Muyao, his tone solemn yet gentle.

"Fellow Daoist Su's cultivation is profound, far surpassing ordinary Nascent Soul Dao Realm cultivators. It would be a waste of his talent to only appoint him as a guest elder. From today onwards, Fellow Daoist Su will be the Supreme Elder of my Flying Heaven Sect, with the same status and treatment as the rest of us. He can participate in the decision-making of all matters within the sect, except for core secrets."

Upon hearing this, not only Gu Xuan was stunned, but even Su Muyao's eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise.

The position of Supreme Elder is one of the most prestigious positions in the Flying Heaven Sect.

This Dao Ancestor Ye actually trusts her so much that he directly bestows such a high position upon her!

Gu Xuan was deeply shocked. He had thought that Su Muyao was at most a guest elder, but he never expected that Ye Yang would value her so much.

However, upon further reflection, with Su Muyao's strength, she truly deserves the position of Supreme Elder. With such a powerful figure in charge, the strength of the Flying Heaven Sect will undoubtedly rise to another level.

He quickly bowed and said, "Master Ye is wise! Elder Su's strength is outstanding. With you guarding the Flying Heaven Sect, it is truly a blessing for the sect!"

Ye Yang nodded slightly and continued.

"As for accommodation, there is a Moon-Viewing Residence next to Qingxuan Peak on my back mountain. It has a quiet environment, rich spiritual energy, and is adjacent to my residence, making it convenient for daily sparring and cultivation. Elder Su, I wonder if you are satisfied?"

He specifically emphasized "next to my residence," which shows that he saw through Su Muyao's desire to get closer to him.

Sure enough, Su Muyao's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, her previous surprise turning into undisguised excitement, and a faint blush even appeared on her cheeks, creating an adorable contrast with her status as a Supreme Elder.

"Satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied! Thank you, Dao Ancestor Ye!"

Her voice carried a hint of barely perceptible joy, and even her breathing became slightly rapid.

To become the Supreme Elder of the Flying Heaven Sect, to have a status equal to Ye Yang, and to be able to live by Ye Yang's side day and night, was even better than she had imagined!
Su Muyao looked at Ye Yang with eyes full of gratitude and joy.

All the perseverance and hard work I put in along the way have become worthwhile at this moment.

Seeing her excited expression, Ye Yang chuckled inwardly; this arrangement was exactly what she wanted. He turned to Gu Xuan and gave him his instructions.

"Sect Leader Gu, immediately have someone tidy up Lanyue Residence and add the necessary items to ensure Elder Su is comfortable."

"Furthermore, issue an order to the entire sect that Su Muyao is now the Supreme Elder of the Flying Heaven Sect, effective immediately. No one is to be negligent in her manners. Anyone who shows disrespect will be dealt with according to the sect rules."

"Yes! Disciple, obey!"

Gu Xuan answered respectfully, already understanding the situation.

Su Muyao holds a very important place in Ye Daozu's heart, and he must treat her well in the future within the sect.

Su Muyao felt a warm glow in her heart as she watched Ye Yang arrange everything for her in an orderly manner.

She could feel Ye Yang's attention and care.

This further strengthened her resolve to stay at the Flying Gate.

"Elder Su, come with me to Lan Yue Residence. If there is anything missing, please let me know. Although Fei Tian Sect has just experienced the demonic tide, it can still accommodate the needs of a Supreme Elder."

Gu Xuan's words seemed calm, but they revealed the confidence of the Flying Heaven Sect.

Even though they had just suffered a calamity, they still treated top cultivators with the utmost courtesy. Upon hearing this, Su Muyao's smile deepened, and her tone became even lighter.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master Ye. It is already a blessing to have a place to settle down and cultivate."

The two walked side by side toward Qingxuan Peak in the back mountain, and the scenery along the way was enough to demonstrate the profound heritage of Feitianmen.

The misty air swirled around the mountains like a veil, and every breath of air contained a spiritual energy so rich it was almost tangible. The newly restored earth veins made the bluestone slabs underfoot glow with a faint light.

The exotic flowers and rare herbs along the roadside were all precious items imbued with spiritual energy, and occasionally low-level disciples would pass by.

Upon seeing Ye Yang and Su Muyao, they all bowed respectfully, their movements precise and courteous, showing no sign of negligence.

Su Muyao looked at it and secretly marveled.

It is no accident that the Flying Heaven Sect has been able to stand firm in the Star Sea Demon Realm for a thousand years.

The concentration of spiritual veins and the demeanor of the disciples alone far surpass those of many mid-level sects, no wonder it can become a reliable support for the surrounding sects.

She occasionally discussed her cultivation experiences with Ye Yang, from her insights into swordsmanship to the circulation of spiritual energy. Although Ye Yang didn't talk much, he always managed to point out the key points, which greatly benefited her.

As they were getting into a lively conversation, the two had already approached the foot of Qingxuan Peak, and the legendary Lanyue Residence, said to be the most spiritually rich place, was already faintly visible.

But at that moment, a desperate, almost hoarse cry for help rang out.

"Master Qingfeng of Qingzhu Valley pays respects to the Supreme Sect, begging for your life!"

The voice was filled with exhaustion and despair. Upon hearing it, Ye Yang paused abruptly, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"So exhausted, it seems that Green Bamboo Valley has truly been driven to the brink of despair."

He explained to Su Muyao.

"Qingzhu Valley is adjacent to Feitian Sect and can be considered a friendly neighbor. However, their strength is far inferior to our sect. The highest cultivation level in their sect is only at the late stage of Yuan Shen Dao Realm. They rely entirely on the inherited Qingzhu Sword Formation to maintain their strength. Now that they are so eager to ask for help, the crisis they are facing is probably far beyond the ordinary."

There are not many sects around the Star Sea Demon Realm's base that the Flying Heaven Sect can take seriously. The reason why Green Bamboo Valley can catch Ye Yang's eye is more due to the "lips and teeth" geographical relationship.

Su Muyao understood immediately and quickly replied.

"Master Ye, you need not worry about me. The affairs of the sect are more important. I will go with you to take a look."

Ye Yang nodded, his fingertips twitched slightly, and a stream of azure spiritual energy transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the plaza.

This is a communication method used within the Flying Heaven Sect, which is faster and more secretive than ordinary sound transmission.

In an instant, he gestured to Su Muyao.

"Sect Leader Gu has received the message. Let's go."

The two figures blurred, transforming into two streaks of light that streaked across the sky, arriving at the south gate of the Flying Heaven Gate in just a few breaths.

At this moment, Gu Xuan had already led two elders from the Law Enforcement Hall to wait there. The south entrance of the mountain-protecting formation had been opened with a gap that only allowed two people to pass through.

Even when faced with those seeking help, the Flying Gate never relaxed its vigilance.

Upon seeing Ye Yang and Su Muyao arrive, Gu Xuan stepped forward and bowed, his gaze sweeping across the doorway with a hint of scrutiny.

The three of them looked over and saw an old man standing outside the door, dressed in a green Taoist robe. The old man's hair was white, and his hair was covered with dust and bloodstains. His robe was torn in many places, and there were obvious scratch marks on his exposed arms, indicating that he had been through a fierce battle.

He clutched an old wooden box tightly in his hand, his body trembling slightly, yet he still forced his back to stand straight, his eyes filled with urgency and expectation, as if he had grasped the last straw.

Upon seeing Ye Yang and Gu Xuan clearly, the old man's eyes flashed with intense light. He staggered forward a few steps, but was blocked by the spiritual light of the mountain-protecting array. He could only bow deeply to the three of them through the gap, his voice trembling slightly with excitement and exhaustion.

"Elder Zhu Qingfeng of Qingzhu Valley greets Daoist Ye! Greetings to Sect Leader Gu! Greetings to this fellow Daoist! I beg the three of you to have mercy and save Qingzhu Valley! If we are any later, hundreds of my Qingzhu Valley disciples will perish in the jaws of demons!"

Gu Xuan stepped forward, his voice steady and carrying the authority of the Flying Heaven Sect leader.

"Master Qingfeng, Qingzhu Valley and my Flying Heaven Sect have a long-standing relationship. Tell me in detail what happened and why you are in such a sorry state, begging for help?"

Zhu Qingfeng sighed deeply, his face showing pain, and his voice choked with emotion.

"Three days ago, a large number of demons suddenly attacked Green Bamboo Valley. The leader was actually a demon general in the early stage of Void Refinement! That demon general was extremely powerful. Our Green Bamboo Valley's Green Bamboo Sword Formation was no match for him. Our disciples fought desperately, but still suffered heavy casualties."

"Most of the buildings in the valley have been destroyed by demonic energy, and the core of the protective array has been shattered by the demon general, leaving it on the verge of collapse! The demons are still besieging the valley, attacking day and night. If no reinforcements arrive, Green Bamboo Valley... Green Bamboo Valley will probably be destroyed today!"

In the end, he could no longer hold back his tears, which streamed down his face, his eyes filled with despair.

"I know that the Flying Heaven Sect has just experienced the demonic tide and needs to recuperate, and does not want to cause any more trouble. But my thousands of disciples from the Green Bamboo Valley cannot just die in vain! I am willing to offer the Green Bamboo Valley's treasured 'Green Bamboo Sword Intent Manual', which has been passed down for thousands of years, in the hope that the Flying Heaven Sect will send troops to help!"

"This sword manual records the sword insights of our ancestors throughout the ages of Green Bamboo Valley. It is the highest inheritance of our valley and is of great benefit to sword practitioners. Dao Ancestor Ye is a master of both sword and saber, and this manual will surely help you reach a higher level!"

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box with trembling hands. Inside, there was a layer of dark red velvet cloth, and on the velvet cloth lay a roll of pale yellow silk cloth.

The silk cloth was decorated with fine blue patterns, and there was a faint flow of sword energy between the patterns. Even through the protective mountain array, one could feel the exquisite swordsmanship contained within.

That is the true essence of swordsmanship, refined over a thousand years, and is far beyond the reach of ordinary techniques.

A hint of surprise flashed in Gu Xuan's eyes. He had long heard that the Green Bamboo Sword Manual was the treasure of Green Bamboo Valley, passed down only to the sect leader and never to outsiders.

Now that Zhu Qingfeng is willing to offer up such a precious treasure in order to seek help, it is clear that Qingzhu Valley has reached a critical juncture of life and death.

He turned to look at Ye Yang, waiting for Ye Yang's decision.

Ye Yang's gaze fell on the sword intent manual, his fingertips twitched slightly, and he had already made up his mind.

Although the sword insights in this Green Bamboo Sword Intent Manual lean towards defense and agility, which are completely different from his Breaking Illusion Sword Intent, they are still quite profound. If one can study them, one can learn from others' experiences.

More importantly, if Green Bamboo Valley is destroyed by the demons, a gap will appear in the defense line around the Star Sea Demon Realm.

If the demons want to launch a surprise attack on Flying Gate again in the future, they will be able to drive straight in.

Although the Flying Heaven Sect is powerful, it still needs surrounding sects as a shield. He understands the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold" better than anyone else.

"Elder Zhu, Green Bamboo Valley and Flying Heaven Sect are both righteous sects, and it is only right for them to help each other. There is no need to give away such a treasure. Rest assured, Flying Heaven Sect will send troops to rescue Green Bamboo Valley immediately."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingfeng's eyes instantly blazed with ecstatic joy.

"Many thanks to Daoist Ye! Many thanks to the Flying Heaven Sect! We are deeply grateful! From now on, Green Bamboo Valley will follow the Flying Heaven Sect's lead!"

Ye Yang nodded slightly and turned to instruct Gu Xuan.

"Sect Leader Gu, immediately summon all disciples at the True Person Realm and above to form reinforcements—the Enforcement Hall elder will lead the team, and you will accompany Elder Su. Be extremely careful in dealing with that demon general. If you encounter difficulties, remember not to fight head-on; immediately send a message back to the sect, and I will personally come to your aid." (End of Chapter)
