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

Ye Yang nodded.

"In the past few days, I have taken out all the resources accumulated in the sect's treasury and asked the disciples to strengthen the defense. I will stay in the sect to oversee the situation and at the same time deduce the possible attack routes of the demons, while waiting for Yan Qingying to arrive."

"Yes! I will obey the Dao Ancestor's orders!"

Gu Xuan and the elders responded in unison.

For the next three days, the Star Sea Demon Realm fell into an eerie silence.

This tranquility is not peaceful serenity, but rather the oppressive calm before a storm.

The demons' attacks suddenly decreased, and they no longer launched three fierce attacks on the interstellar defense line every day, as if they had gone into hibernation and were accumulating even greater power.

But all the monks knew that this was only a temporary peace.

Inside the Flying Heaven Sect, the disciples' enthusiasm for cultivation reached an unprecedented level.

In the square, in the training ground, and beside the spiritual veins of the back mountain, one can see disciples diligently cultivating everywhere.

Gu Xuan would inspect the sect every day to check the defenses and supplies.

Ye Yang, meanwhile, sat in the quiet room on Qingxuan Peak, waiting for news from Yan Qingying while analyzing the battle situation.

He further integrated the Green Bamboo Sword Intent with his own Dao power, while sorting through the memories he obtained from the remnant soul of the Black Scale Demon Lord, trying to find the weaknesses of the demon race.

Inside the quiet room, azure spiritual light and black malevolent energy intertwined and swirled.

Sometimes as supple as bamboo, sometimes as sharp as a blade.

Ye Yang's aura also became increasingly unfathomable through this continuous deduction and cultivation.

During this time, Zhu Qingfeng also sent someone to deliver a message, informing that Qingzhu Valley had been completely stabilized.

Time passes day by day.

This day.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, a deafening roar suddenly echoed above the Flying Gate.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling crimson streak of light rushed from the distant horizon, like a burning meteorite, carrying a scorching aura, instantly attracting the attention of all the disciples.

"what is that?"

Many disciples who were practicing in the square stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky, and were filled with shock.

Before long, the crimson light drew closer and closer, gradually revealing its true form.

It was a huge treasure ship, hundreds of feet long, with a crimson hull and a lifelike phoenix carved on the bow, its wings spread as if it were about to take flight at any moment.

A faint aura of flames swirled around the treasure ship, forming an invisible protective shield that exuded a powerful pressure.

"It's the Burning Phoenix Treasure Ship!"

The elder, who was well-versed in knowledge, exclaimed in surprise.

"That is one of the most prized treasures of my Flying Heaven Sect."

"Could it be that Elder Yan has come to provide assistance?"

A young disciple's eyes were full of anticipation.

The Burning Phoenix Treasure Ship was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above the Flying Heaven Gate and slowly descended.

The blazing flames spewing from the bottom of the treasure ship gradually subsided, landing on the plaza of the Flying Heaven Gate, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The boat door opened, and a fiery red figure stepped out first—it was Yan Qingying.

Behind her, the six-winged demonic corpse emerged like an iron tower, its six pairs of black wings unfurled, radiating a dense aura of death, yet under Yan Qingying's control, it appeared unusually docile.

Following closely behind were thousands of disciples, each carrying a faint killing intent, clearly having experienced the baptism of a great battle.

Upon seeing Yan Qingying's arrival, the disciples in the square all bowed in greeting.

"Greetings, Ancestor Yan!"

Yan Qingying raised her hand to signal her disciples to stand up, her gaze quickly sweeping across the square before finally landing on Gu Xuan, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

She quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Yan Qingying, I have successfully brought back all the disciples of Ziyuan Star Land and have come to report to the Sect Leader and the elders!"

Gu Xuan looked at Yan Qingying and the disciples behind her and nodded in satisfaction.

"You've had a long journey, Qingying. You must be tired too. Take the disciples down to rest first, and we'll discuss the war later in the council hall."

Just then, a streak of azure light flew from the direction of Qingxuan Peak and landed instantly in the center of the square; it was Ye Yang.

"Senior Brother Ye!"

When Yan Qingying saw Ye Yang, a hint of respect flashed in her eyes, and she quickly bowed.

Ye Yang nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Yan Qingying. He could clearly feel that her aura had become more refined than before.

Clearly, his cultivation level has improved during his training in the Purple Palace Star Region.

"Very good, you've come at the perfect time."

Ye Yang's voice was calm yet authoritative.

"The agreement for three days later has been changed. The Dao Alliance has just issued a decree from its leader, ordering all cultivators above the Nascent Soul Dao Realm to immediately gather at the Ten Thousand Demon Cave to discuss strategies for defeating the enemy."

"The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons?"

Gu Xuan frowned slightly.

"That place is one of the demonic lairs in the Star Sea Demon Realm, with dense demonic energy and treacherous terrain. Why would the Dao Alliance choose to gather there?"

"Presumably, this was to observe the movements of the demons nearby, and at the same time, to set up defensive fortifications using the terrain of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."

Ye Yang speculated, then turned to Yan Qingying and said, "You've just returned, so take the disciples to replenish their supplies first. Tomorrow we'll set off together for the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."

"Yes! Your disciples obey!" Yan Qingying replied in unison.

The news of the Burning Phoenix Treasure Ship's arrival at the Flying Heaven Gate spread like wildfire.

It quickly spread to every corner of the Star Sea Demon Realm.

"That's the Flying Heaven Sect's Burning Phoenix Treasure Ship? It truly lives up to its reputation! This kind of aura is probably comparable to a mid-grade Dao artifact!"

"I heard that the one piloting the treasure ship is Yan Qingying, the Nascent Soul Dao Ancestor of the Flying Heaven Sect. This young woman has already reached the Nascent Soul Dao Realm and has also refined a six-winged demonic corpse to protect herself. Her strength is unfathomable!"

"It seems the Flying Heaven Sect is going all out this time! With Dao Ancestor Ye in charge, plus elites like the Burning Phoenix Treasure Ship and Yan Qingying, they should be able to teach the Demon Clan a lesson!"

"We were hesitant about sending troops before, but now it seems that fighting alongside the Flying Heaven Sect and the Dao Alliance should give us a good chance of winning!"

Many sects that were initially hesitant, after seeing the determination of the Burning Phoenix Treasure Ship and the Flying Heaven Sect, made up their minds and began to gather their disciples to prepare to go to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

Ye Yang and the Flying Heaven Sect's attitude, just as Jin Yu Dao Ren said, became a benchmark for righteous sects, boosting the morale of the entire Star Sea Demon Realm in its fight against demons.

The next day.

Ye Yang, Gu Xuan, and Yan Qingying had already assembled in the plaza of Feitian Gate.

"set off!"

At Ye Yang's command, he transformed into a streak of azure light and flew towards the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

Gu Xuan and the elders followed closely behind, while Yan Qingying boarded the Burning Phoenix Treasure Ship.

The treasure ship was activated, transforming into a streak of crimson light that sped away following Ye Yang's figure.

At the same time, in every corner of the Star Sea Demon Realm, countless cultivators also rushed towards the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

Some rode flying swords, while others traveled on treasure ships.

Some relied on their own cultivation to fly through the air. Various colored spiritual lights intertwined in the sky, forming dazzling light curtains that converged towards the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is located in the heart of the Star Sea Demon Realm, and is a huge valley.

The valley was filled with demonic energy and was pitch black.

The valley is surrounded by steep and precipitous peaks, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is indeed an excellent location for setting up defensive fortifications and observing the movements of the demons.

When Ye Yang and the Flying Heaven Sect arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, many cultivators from various sects had already gathered on the outskirts of the valley.

When these cultivators saw Ye Yang and the Burning Phoenix Treasure Boat arrive, they all stopped talking.

"The people from the Flying Heaven Gate have arrived."

"That's Daozu Ye? He certainly has an extraordinary presence!"

"Rumor has it that he killed the Void Refining Demon Lord with a single sword strike, and his strength is unfathomable. Seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved!"

"The Burning Phoenix Treasure Ship has arrived too! The Flying Heaven Sect's lineup this time is truly formidable!"

Ye Yang ignored the crowd's discussions and flew straight towards the high platform in the center of the valley.

On the high platform, several cultivators dressed in Dao Alliance robes were waiting.

Leading the group was an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a purple Taoist robe, with a Taoist Alliance leader's token hanging at his waist. He was the vice leader of the Taoist Alliance, the Purple Void Taoist of the Taixu Taoist Sect.

Upon seeing Ye Yang arrive, Daoist Zixu quickly stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Zi Xu greets Dao Zu Ye! It's wonderful that you could come in person!"

"Fellow Daoist Zixu, there's no need for such formalities."

Ye Yang nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the area around the platform.

"Where is Senior Azure Lotus Sword Immortal?"

"Our master has already investigated the movements of the demons deep in the valley and has instructed me to wait here for you fellow Daoists."

Master Zixu answered respectfully, then stepped aside to make way.

"Master Ye, fellow Daoists, please ascend the high platform. Once all the cultivators from various sects have arrived, we will begin to discuss strategies for defeating the enemy."

Ye Yang nodded and ascended the platform with Gu Xuan, Yan Qingying, and others, finding a place to sit. Subsequently, the leaders of other sects also ascended the platform, and the originally empty platform was soon filled with people.

Before long, more and more cultivators gathered below the platform.

The glimmers of light in the sky grew increasingly dense.

By noon, almost every sect with a name and a reputation in the Star Sea Demon Realm had sent a representative.

There were over a hundred cultivators at the Yuan Shen Dao Realm or above, while other disciples were deployed around the valley, forming a solid defensive line.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Daoist Zixu stood up, and the Alliance Leader's token in his hand glowed slightly, instantly silencing the valley.

His gaze swept over the crowd, his voice steady and powerful.

"Fellow Daoists, I presume you are all aware of the situation after I summoned you here today. Ever since we occupied the Star Sea Demon Realm and drove away the demons, they have refused to give up and have used various means to probe us."

After Master Zixu finished speaking, the cultivators below the stage fell silent, not daring to slacken their efforts in the slightest.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist! Since the Dao Alliance has given the order, we will cooperate fully and never back down!"

The leaders of various sects expressed their opinions.

Upon seeing this, Master Zixu was overjoyed.

"With the support of fellow Daoists and sects, we will surely achieve a great victory. Not long ago, Ancestor Qinglian observed the celestial phenomena at night and said that the spiritual energy of this world is rising. If we can resolve the threat of the demon race, this world will soon be upgraded, which will be a good thing for all of you."

"What? Really!"

These words immediately drew a large crowd, who began to discuss them. (End of Chapter)
