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

"Brother, this..."

Yan Qingying's voice rose slightly at the end, her face full of disbelief.

The medicinal effects of those Netherworld Purple Mushrooms increased by 30%.

This is no small number. You have to understand that even with all the efforts the Flying Heaven Sect made in the Purple Palace Star Region, they couldn't achieve such a good result.

Ye Yang chuckled softly.

"There's a common saying that there's strength in numbers, and that's certainly true."

he sighed.

“If a sect works in isolation, it may take ten or eight years to figure out the tricks of the trade. Now, with the Dao Alliance taking the lead, all the major sects are bringing out their best skills to verify each other’s abilities.”

"It hasn't been long, and they've already overcome the cultivation challenges of this Netherworld Purple Ganoderma. They've even improved its medicinal effects. It's truly an unexpected delight."

His gaze was distant, looking out of the hall.

"This Star Sea Realm is still too vast. Just like that desolate region that has been hidden for countless years, it is simply impossible for our Flying Heaven Sect or any other sect to conquer it."

"Once the Netherworld Purple Ganoderma can be successfully cultivated, it is foreseeable that the Star Sea Realm will usher in a period of rapid development in the near future."

"New spirit mines, new spirit herbs, and new monster resources will emerge like a tide. This is a great era and a great opportunity."

He walked to the front of the hall and looked down at the mountains that were faintly visible below.

"Having outer disciples form a 'pioneer support team' was merely a stopgap measure. Now, it's time to put the development of the wilderness on the fast track."

Yan Qingying's heart skipped a beat; she knew what Ye Yang meant.

Before, it was just "sowing grass seeds" to see who could survive. Now, it's time to actually plant crops.

"Senior brother, are you planning... a large-scale recruitment?" she asked tentatively.

Ye Yang turned around, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"It's not just about recruiting, it's about selecting."

He corrected him, his tone meaningful.

"We must let everyone know that going to the wilderness is no longer about going to your death, but about seeking immortality and wealth."

"We want to turn the wilderness into a huge opportunity. Of course, opportunity and risk go hand in hand; that's an eternal truth."

"Pass the order to Frost."

Ye Yang's voice was calm and steady, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Tell her that I will go into seclusion immediately to try and reach a higher realm. The development of the wilderness will be entirely entrusted to her. Let her select a group of disciples, regardless of whether they are from inner or outer sects or affiliated families. She can even extend invitations to other rogue cultivator families in the Star Sea Realm. As long as they have the ability and courage, they can come to the wilderness of the Star Sea Realm."

"I understand."

Ye Yang nodded and said nothing more.

He sat back down in the main seat and closed his eyes.

His soul had already faintly sensed the surging power of thunder in the world.

He needs time, he needs complete reflection, to prepare for the final transformation.

…………

at the same time.

In the main peak of the Flying Heaven Sect in the cultivation world, there is a valley filled with spiritual energy.

"Shh!"

A sword light, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, tore through the air and drew a perfect arc in the sky above the valley.

Under the sword light, a ten-foot-tall blue wolf let out a resentful howl and crashed to the ground.

"Elder Huo, what excellent swordsmanship!"

Several young cultivators dressed in the robes of the Flying Heaven Sect disciples surrounded them, their faces filled with envy and admiration.

Huo Bing Shuang sheathed her sword, her face cold and a little tired.

"They're just ordinary demonic beasts. I wonder when they'll be able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm."

Her voice was soft, and there was a hint of sorrow in her eyes. After all, she had been stuck in the Dharma Aspect True Person realm for quite some time.

To this day, I still haven't found a way to break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm.

"Your progress is still too slow. When you get back, each of you will need to practice for an extra two hours..."

Upon hearing Huo Bing Shuang's words, the disciples trembled and quickly bowed their heads in agreement, sweat beading on their foreheads.

Elder Huo was known for her strictness, but she was also never stingy with her teachings, so no one dared to complain even though it was hard work.

"Elder Huo, an urgent message has come from the Sect Leader's Hall."

Just then, a young man dressed in the robes of an inner sect deacon ran over quickly.

He was panting, holding a communication talisman that shimmered with crimson-gold light in his hands.

Huo Bing Shuang recognized the talisman's quality at a glance. It was a superior communication talisman from the Flying Heaven Sect.

This talisman requires the essence blood of a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm or above to create, making it extremely precious. Only in this way can one directly cross vast distances and reach the Flying Heaven Gate.

Normally, only the sect leader and a few supreme elders are qualified to receive direct instruction.

She paused slightly, a hint of doubt flashing through her mind.

Could it be that it was sent by Master?

Master and the others are currently exploring the Star Sea Demon Realm. Is there some urgent matter at hand? Otherwise, why would they be in such a hurry to use a communication talisman of this level?

"Hand it over."

Huo Bingshuang spoke calmly.

The disciple in charge quickly handed over the communication talisman, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

This was the first time she had ever seen such an urgent letter.

Huo Bing Shuang took the talisman and probed it with her divine sense.

The next moment, her clear, cold eyes suddenly narrowed, as if struck by an invisible bolt of lightning.

The talisman contained a vast amount of information, but its core content left her breathless.

Firstly, the sect is developing well in the Star Sea Demon Realm, and now it is developing the wild areas on a large scale. However, it is short of manpower and needs to recruit a large number of cultivators.

What shocked her most was that her master actually said in the letter that she had ushered in a glimmer of opportunity to break through to the Tribulation Realm in seclusion.

"Is Master about to achieve another breakthrough?"

She was shocked.

"Buzz!"

The talisman trembled slightly in Huo Bing Shuang's hand, not because her magic power was unstable, but because of the fluctuations in her emotions.

"Elder, has something happened?" A steward noticed her unusual expression and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Huo Bing Shuang suddenly raised her head, her eyes regaining their clarity, but deep within them burned two blazing flames.

"Good thing!"

Her voice was strong and clear, a departure from her usual cool and aloof tone.

"This is fantastic news! Go, immediately summon all the deacons and elders to the council hall for a meeting."

"Tell them to drop everything and get there immediately!"

The disciple in charge was stunned; he had never seen Senior Sister Huo so excited.

But he dared not ask any more questions, and hurriedly accepted the order and left, his back view showing a hint of panic.

Huo Bing Shuang gripped the communication talisman tightly, feeling a surge of heat rush to her head.

The Tribulation Realm! Master is actually going to break through to the Tribulation Realm!
If this major event can be successfully accomplished, the Flying Heaven Gate will become one of the true holy lands.

"Selecting a large number of cultivators..."

She muttered to herself, her eyes gleaming.

This is no easy task. Where should we select candidates?
How can we ensure their loyalty to the Flying Heaven Sect? And how can we maximize their power to explore the wilderness while preventing them from becoming too powerful or being infiltrated by other sects?
She knew that there were not only opportunities, but also countless undercurrents.

But Huo Bing Shuang has never been one to be content with the status quo.

She displayed extraordinary talent for cultivation from a young age, possessed a resilient character and exceptional temperament; otherwise, she would not have been able to become a disciple of Dao Ancestor Ye.

Now, the opportunity has arrived!
Without any hesitation, she turned around immediately, her figure blurred, and she transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the council hall.

She needed to immediately gather manpower, formulate a detailed recruitment plan, and plan the allocation of resources. Her master had started this game, and now they were in the crucial period of seclusion.

She must be able to receive the ball steadily and deliver a brilliant performance.

…………

Half an hour later, at the Flying Heaven Gate Council Hall.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was solemn.

Almost all the elders of the Flying Heaven Sect were among them.

"What's wrong with Elder Huo? Isn't she usually the most composed? Why is she in such a hurry today?"

An elderly man with white hair stroked his beard and asked in confusion.

"Could it be that something has happened again in the Star Sea Demon Realm?"

Another middle-aged deacon elder speculated.

Discussions arose one after another, filled with various speculations.

Huo Bing Shuang stepped into the hall. Without saying a word, she directly showed Ye Yang's communication talisman.

A crimson-gold talisman emitted a faint glow in the hall, causing everyone's hearts to tremble. It was a high-level communication talisman specially made by the Dao Alliance, used only for core secrets.

"Elders," Huo Bing Shuang said calmly, yet with an undeniable authority.

"Master has sent a message stating that the artificial cultivation of the Netherworld Purple Ganoderma has increased its medicinal efficacy by 30%, achieving a breakthrough..."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the main hall.

"what?"

"Has the cultivation of the Netherworld Purple Ganoderma been successful?"

"The efficacy of the medicine has increased by 30%? How is that possible!"

The sect leader's communication talisman served as witness, leaving them no choice but to believe.

Huo Bing Shuang let them talk for a while before speaking again, raising her voice a few decibels.

"More importantly, Master Ye Yang is about to go into seclusion to attempt to break through to the Tribulation Realm."

"Wow!"

This caused the entire hall to erupt in excitement.

"Is the Dao Ancestor about to undergo the tribulation?"

"Oh my god! Is...is this real?"

"If Dao Ancestor Ye can successfully break through, our Flying Heaven Sect will have gained another true Tribulation Tribulation expert! What an honor that would be in the Star Sea Realm!"

……

If successful, the Flying Heaven Sect's status within the Dao Alliance will instantly rise several notches.

However, Huo Bing Shuang didn't give them much time to process their joy.

She succinctly relayed the information about wilderness development from the message to everyone.

"My master has made it clear that I am fully responsible for the development of the wilderness. He has instructed me to select a large number of cultivators, regardless of whether they are from the inner or outer sects, and even to extend invitations to other independent cultivator families."

"Let's head to the wilderness together. Sect resources will be allocated, and the Dao Alliance will coordinate. We must open up many avenues and prioritize quality over quantity."

Upon hearing this, the bustling hall instantly fell silent, and the atmosphere became even more somber than before.

The elders' expressions became complicated.

On one hand, there was the good news of the Netherworld Purple Fungus, and on the other hand, there was the excitement of the tribulation.

Huo Bing Shuang continued speaking.

"Gentlemen, the purpose of summoning you all today is not to solicit your opinions, but to inform you that we need your full cooperation. I have already drafted the preliminary regulations for selecting cultivators in the Wilderness, and you all need to begin preparations immediately."

With a flick of her wrist, more than a dozen jade slips flew out and landed precisely in front of each elder.

"The jade slip contains a detailed plan. From recruitment and publicity to selection criteria, resource allocation, and the division of the future wilderness areas, everything has been initially planned. You may take a look."

The elders looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that Huo Bing Shuang had made preparations in advance.

Many elders picked up the jade slips and probed them with their divine sense. After a moment, his slightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The plan in this jade slip is detailed and meticulous, covering almost all possible problems, and even mentioning how to deal with competition from other sects. This is definitely not something an ordinary disciple could have done.

The other elders also checked the documents, and only the faint spiritual light emanating from the jade slips remained in the council hall.

"I have decided that starting tomorrow, we will set up the 'Wilderness Recruitment Platform' in the main peak square to issue recruitment orders to all Flying Heaven Sect disciples and even rogue cultivators from the Star Sea Realm." Huo Bing Shuang broke the silence, her voice resolute.

"Anyone who is at least a martial artist, has a strong will, and has no criminal record is eligible to apply. We will select the best candidates to form one pioneering team after another."

"In terms of benefits, those who go to the Wilderness will not only receive resource rewards that are higher than those from sect contribution points, but will also have priority in obtaining mining rights and medicinal herb collection rights in the Wilderness."

"Furthermore, once the wilderness is successfully developed in the future, priority will be given to obtaining the operating rights for the wilderness area!"

These conditions were added by Huo Bing Shuang after careful consideration.
