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

Chapter 1286 A Stormy Era Begins, Awe-inspiring Power Shakes All Directions
"Master, he..."

Huo Bing Shuang bit her lower lip tightly, her hands clenched so hard her knuckles turned white, and her eyes were red-rimmed.

She tried to say something, but found that something was blocking her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.

Standing beside her was Elder Wang Dong of the sect. After Ye Daozu disappeared, the Flying Sky Sect suffered attacks from all sides.

Wang Dong was a master who came all the way from Ziyuan Star to provide assistance.

However, to everyone's surprise, not long after Wang Dong arrived, Ye Daozu had already successfully broken through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

This bloodthirsty wolf remained unfazed during countless battles at the Flying Heaven Sect.

Even now, he could not hide his inner anxiety.

His hand rested on the sword at his waist, his fingers trembling slightly from the force.

All the other elders, deacons, and disciples in the main hall held their breath and stared intently at the raging sea of ​​lightning reflected in the water mirror.

Some people were quietly reciting the Taoist prayers for blessings, some were silently praying with their hands clasped together, and some young disciples couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

For the Flying Heaven Sect, Ye Daozu was more than just a protector.

It is also their spiritual pillar.

If Daozu Ye were to perish under the lightning tribulation...

No one dared to imagine the consequences.

Time seemed to become incomparably long at this moment.

Every moment of waiting felt like torture.

Just when everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit and on the verge of snapping.

The lightning in the water mirror suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the surging purple sea of ​​lightning began to slowly dissipate, like the tide receding, revealing the scene within.

A tall and straight figure stands proudly between heaven and earth.

His body was surrounded by lightning, and his aura was magnificent and vast, like a god descending to earth.

At that moment, the entire hall fell into a brief, deathly silence.

immediately.

"Success!"

"The Dao Ancestor has succeeded!"

"Master has broken through!"

The cheers erupted like a torrent, instantly engulfing the entire council hall.

Huo Bing Shuang could no longer hold back her tears, which welled up in her eyes, but she still wore a bright smile.

"Master...he succeeded..."

Elder Wang Dong also let out a long breath, his whole body relaxed, and then he laughed loudly.

"Good! Good! Good! With our Dao Ancestor here, our Flying Heaven Sect will prosper for ten thousand years!"

The other elders and deacons rose and bowed deeply to the figure reflected in the water mirror.

"Congratulations to Dao Ancestor on breaking through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm!"

"The Dao Ancestor's divine skills are unparalleled, and his lifespan is as long as the heavens!"

"Our Flying Heaven Sect shall rise to prominence!"

Cheers erupted from the council hall and quickly swept across the entire Flying Gate.

Inside and outside the mountain gate, countless disciples, upon hearing the news, all raised their arms and cheered.

Those disciples who had been frowning because of the sect's difficult situation were now filled with excitement and joy.

"The Dao Ancestor has returned!"

"The Dao Ancestor has broken through to the Tribulation Dao Realm!"

"Those scoundrels are finished!"

"Our Flying Heaven Sect will rise again."

Inside the Flying Gate, bells and drums resounded, the magic array operated spontaneously, and rays of light shone everywhere, with auspicious clouds swirling around.

The entire sect was immersed in jubilation.

And this news spread throughout the entire Star Sea Realm at an incredible speed.

The main gate of the Dilong Sect, the council hall.

"what?!"

An elder suddenly stood up from his seat, and the jade slip in his hand was smashed to the ground with a "crack" and shattered into several pieces.

His face was deathly pale, and he was trembling all over.

"That... Dao Ancestor Ye has broken through to the Tribulation Dao Realm? This... how is this possible!"

The other elders also looked extremely grim.

Someone murmured.

"It's over...it's completely over..."

"Elder, the sect leader is dead, what should we do? What if that Dao Ancestor Ye comes seeking revenge..."

The Earth Dragon Sect's Grand Elder, seated in the main seat, had a gloomy face and his eyes were filled with sinister intent.

He spoke slowly, his voice hoarse.

"Immediately withdraw all personnel from the wilderness, close the mountain gates, and activate the protective array. Also, send someone to the Flying Gate..."

He paused, then uttered two words with difficulty.

"apologize."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.

The Earth Dragon Gate was once so glorious, possessing even the remains of true spirits, but now it has to bow its head.

Because they know.

Facing an unparalleled expert who has just broken through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, any resistance is meaningless.

It is no coincidence.

Snake Valley, Blood Moon Sect, Xuanming Sect...

All the forces that had once coveted the Flying Gate were thrown into panic upon hearing this news.

The expressions on the faces of those sect leaders, cult leaders, and valley masters were quite varied.

Some were terrified, some were desperate, some were regretful, and some even immediately ordered the withdrawal of all forces and closed their doors.

There were even a few minor sects that had attacked Flying Heaven Sect disciples in the wilderness.

At this moment, the sect leader was so frightened that he packed his bags and fled overnight, fearing that Ye Daozu would come looking for him and settle scores.

In an instant, the entire Star Sea Realm was thrown into turmoil.

Those once extremely arrogant forces have all fallen silent, fearing to anger the newly-breakthrough Ye Daozu.

At this moment, the prestige of the Flying Heaven Sect reached an unprecedented height.

Those previously wavering smaller forces all sent people to Flying Heaven Gate to curry favor.

Many independent cultivators also volunteered to join the Flying Heaven Sect, willing to serve the Dao Ancestor.

after all.

A powerful expert at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm is enough to change the entire landscape of the Star Sea Realm.

And Ye Yang is the one who can stir up trouble.

At this moment, the summit of the solitary peak is nothingness.

The once majestic mountain peaks are no longer there.

All that remained was a bottomless pit, and wisps of lightning tribulation power still clinging to its walls.

Ye Yang stood in mid-air, surrounded by lightning, his aura as vast as the sea.

He slowly opened his eyes, and the void trembled slightly where his gaze fell.

Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm.

He has finally reached that level.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the flow of every law between heaven and earth, and could perceive every blade of grass and every tree within a radius of a thousand miles.

He raised his hand, and a purple lightning bolt appeared out of thin air, coiling and leaping at his fingertips like a docile little beast.

Give it a flick.

The lightning bolt shot towards a distant mountain peak, hundreds of feet high, instantly blasting it into dust.

This is the power of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm. With every gesture, one can draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

Ye Yang felt the surging power of the Dao within his body, yet his heart remained calm.

He turned around and gazed in the direction of the Flying Gate.

That is where his roots are.

"It's time to go back."

He muttered to himself, then took a step forward.

His figure vanished instantly, leaving only a streak of lightning.

The next moment, he appeared dozens of miles away.

Another step.

Then it's several dozen miles away.

Shrinking the earth to an inch, yet feeling as close as a foot away as the ends of the earth.

It can disappear into the void at any time.

This is the supernatural power of a cultivator at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm.

Within a few days, Ye Yang had already approached the vicinity of the Flying Heaven Gate.

He did not appear directly, but instead concealed his figure in the void.

The lightning around him subsided, and his aura became completely contained.

But even so.

His return still caused strange phenomena in the heavens and earth.

In the sky, which was originally clear, large patches of thunderclouds suddenly appeared.

Thunderclouds rolled, but no lightning struck; they merely hovered high in the sky, like a procession welcoming a king's return.

Above the Flying Gate, countless purple lightning bolts darted through the clouds like dragons, radiating a chilling pressure.

Inside the mountain gate, the spiritual herbs and plants sensed the immense power of the lightning tribulation and began to grow wildly.

The spirit herb, which was originally only one foot tall, grew to three feet in the blink of an eye.

Those medicinal herbs that take decades to mature have sprouted new branches and leaves in a short time, their fragrance so rich it's almost overwhelming.

Some ancient trees are even growing thicker at a visible rate, with lush foliage and vibrant green leaves.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Flying Heaven Sect also increased several times at this moment.

Many disciples felt their Dao foundations loosening, indicating a potential breakthrough, even though it would normally take several years to overcome the bottleneck.

"What...what's going on?"

"Spiritual energy... how come the spiritual energy has suddenly become so much denser?"

"Look! Those medicinal herbs are growing!"

"Thunderclouds in the sky... could it be that the Dao Ancestor has returned?"

Countless disciples looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with shock and excitement.

Inside the council hall, Huo Bing Shuang suddenly stood up, her gaze piercing through the hall to the thunderclouds in the sky.

She sensed the faint yet boundless aura in the air, and a flash of understanding crossed her eyes.

"It is Daozu Ye."

He took a deep breath, straightened his robes, and then strode out of the hall.

"All elders and deacons, follow me to greet the Dao Ancestor!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

Elders such as Wang Dong followed closely behind.

Huo Bing Shuang wiped away her tears and flew away as well.

In an instant, dozens of streaks of light rose from various parts of the Flying Gate, hovering in mid-air, all looking toward the direction of the thundercloud.

Outside the mountain gate, countless disciples emerged from their caves, standing in their respective positions, eagerly awaiting their arrival.

The void trembled slightly.

A figure slowly emerged from the thunderclouds.

The man wore a green robe, had long hair like a waterfall, a handsome face, and an air of composure that seemed to look down upon the world.

He was surrounded by lightning, and with each step he took, ripples spread through the void.

He walked on air as if a god had descended.

"Welcome back, Dao Ancestor!"

Huo Bing Shuang took the lead and knelt on one knee, her voice loud and clear.

"Welcome back, Dao Ancestor!"

All the elders, deacons, and disciples knelt down in unison, their voices booming like thunder.

The sound surged skyward, echoing through the heavens.

Standing in mid-air, Ye Yang's gaze swept over the familiar and unfamiliar faces below, and a long-lost feeling welled up in his heart.

He raised his hand and pressed it into the air.

A gentle force lifted everyone up.

"Everyone, get up."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"I'm sorry to have worried you all."

Huo Bing Shuang's eyes were slightly red, but she held back her tears and nodded vigorously.

"It's good that Master is back, it's good that he's back."

But the next second, Huo Bing Shuang was already crying her eyes out.

He reached out and gently touched her forehead.

"Silly girl, why are you crying?"

"Master..."

Huo Bing Shuang could no longer hold back and threw herself into Ye Yang's arms, bursting into tears.

Ye Yang let her cry, his gaze passing over the crowd and looking toward the Flying Heaven Gate.

That was the foundation he built from scratch.

Now, he is back.

Moreover, it has become stronger.

Ye Yang stood with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a faint golden halo. His gaze swept over the flying gate below, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

After breaking through to the Dao Ancestor level, his state of mind was completely different. Seeing the magnificent atmosphere of the sect and the energetic disciples, he felt very gratified.

"Disciples, rise."

Ye Yang's voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible Daoist charm.

As his words fell.

The kneeling disciples felt a gentle force lift them up, and all the fatigue and stagnation from their cultivation bottlenecks vanished.

Huo Bing Shuang was the first to stand up, quickly walked to the front of Lingxiao Palace, and bowed.

"Disciple Huo Bing Shuang respectfully welcomes Master back to the clan!"

Elder Wang Dong and the others also stood up and bowed in unison.

Ye Yang nodded slightly, and with a flicker of his figure, he appeared on the main seat of the Lingxiao Palace.

The purple thunderclouds and lightning around him slowly dissipated, but the spiritual mist in the world grew even thicker.

"This breakthrough is thanks to the perseverance of everyone in the sect, which has made today's situation possible."

Ye Yang's gaze swept over the crowd.

"From now on, the Flying Sky Sect will activate its protective array, widely recruiting talented disciples from the Star Sea Realm to pass on our lineage. You should immediately begin organizing the sect's classics and record my cultivation insights into them for the disciples to study."

"Frost, you are responsible for screening the sects that come to pledge allegiance, weeding out those with ulterior motives, and accepting those who sincerely submit."

"Yes! Your disciple obeys!"

Huo Bing Shuang and Elder Wang Dong responded in unison, their eyes filled with excitement.

They knew that with Ye Yang breaking through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm and becoming a Venerable One, the glorious era of the Flying Heaven Sect had only just begun.
