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

Meanwhile, Ye Yang was cultivating in seclusion in a quiet room on the back mountain.

The news that he successfully transcended the tribulation and advanced to the Thunder Tribulation Venerable.

Like a storm sweeping across the entire Star Sea Realm, it completely ignited the cultivation world.

Flying Gate, a place that has been plagued by Ye Yang's "disappearance" for the past few years.

The long-suppressed sects were suddenly thrust back into the spotlight.

This time, however, it's not about being in turmoil, but about being the center of attention.

The atmosphere inside the main hall was extremely enthusiastic.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader! Good news has arrived from the Sect's Spirit Field Division!"

One of the disciples, his face flushed, spoke with a trembling voice, clearly excited.

"After dozens of attempts, we have finally succeeded in cultivating the first batch of 'anti-magic spirit plant' seeds!"

He held a jade box in his hands. When he opened it, dozens of deep purple seeds lay quietly inside.

These seeds are covered with strange lightning patterns on their surface, faintly exuding a pure and righteous aura, which has a natural restraining effect on demonic energy.

"We will temporarily name this spiritual plant 'Purple Thunder Grass'. This plant was cultivated using the power of the thunder tribulation that Ye Daozu released when he returned to the sect. It can adapt to the wild soil."

"Its growth process can further dispel the demonic energy remaining in the soil! The mature Purple Thunder Grass is also the main ingredient for refining a variety of pills such as the 'Demon-Breaking Pill' and the 'Heart-Clearing Pill'!"

"Although its effectiveness is slightly less than that of the Netherworld Purple Ganoderma, it has an extremely strong reproductive capacity, and can cover an entire mountain within three months."

Gu Xuan took the jade box, scanned it with his divine sense, and an uncontrollable joy appeared on his face.

"Excellent! Excellent! This item is indeed extraordinary; Ling Tian Si has made a great contribution!"

Ye Yang's breakthrough not only brought the Flying Heaven Sect a Venerable Ancestor to suppress its deepest secrets.

More importantly, the power of the lightning tribulation he unleashed had a trace of Daoist essence captured by the sect's formation, providing an unprecedented opportunity for the cultivation of spiritual plants.

This "Purple Thunder Grass" is the first result of this incredible stroke of luck.

And this is just the beginning.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader!"

Another disciple followed closely behind.

"Dao Ancestor Xuefeng sent a message not long ago, saying that he hoped to strengthen cooperation with us."

One piece of good news after another followed.

This immersed the entire Flying Gate in a vibrant and enthusiastic atmosphere.

If Ye Yang's return was a stabilizing force, then these technological breakthroughs are even more significant.

This sounded the clarion call for the Flying Gate's all-out counterattack and expansion of territory.

soon.

A "Wilderness Reclamation Order" personally signed by Gu Xuan was posted in the most conspicuous locations in the major cities and strongholds under the jurisdiction of the Flying Heaven Gate.

The content of the reclamation order was simple and direct.

The Flying Gate will be centered around "Blackwood City" on the frontier of the wilderness.

This marked the official start of large-scale reclamation of the wild and undeveloped regions.

All cultivators who respond to the call and voluntarily join the pioneering team, regardless of whether they are independent cultivators or members of a family, are welcome to apply.

Flying Gate provides the latest cultivated "anti-magic spirit plant" seeds and planting methods.

In addition, Feitianmen will establish resource recycling points to purchase all kinds of wild and untamed specialties at 80% of the market price.

This decree caused a stir throughout the land.

"My God! Permanent ownership? Flying Gate has really gone all out!"

"It's more than just a huge investment! Didn't you see the key point? Providing seeds and technology! This is practically giving money away!"

"What are we rogue cultivators fighting and dying our whole lives for? Isn't it just resources and a place to settle down and make a living?"

"But that's a desolate wasteland! Corroded by demonic energy, teeming with monsters, where survival is a matter of nine out of ten..."

"Nonsense! Times have changed! Who is in charge of the Flying Heaven Sect now? Dao Ancestor Ye! Thunder Tribulation Venerable! With him here, who would dare to act recklessly!"

"Let's go! What are you waiting for! If we're late, we won't even get any soup! I'm going to sign up right now!"

In no time, the registration offices in all the cities and strongholds under the jurisdiction of Feitianmen were overflowing with people.

There are small families with many members, where the clan leader leads the clan's elite, betting everything they have, just to gamble on a bright future.

Some solitary cultivators, tired of the life of risking their lives, yearn for a stable livelihood.

Even spies from other factions, after witnessing this insane scene firsthand, sent back messages trembling with disbelief.

"The Flying Heaven Sect... isn't recruiting soldiers, they're 'farming'! But... but everyone's gone crazy wanting to farm for them!"

This entirely new development model is backed by the absolute power of a Thunder Tribulation Venerable.

With its unparalleled plant cultivation technology at its core, it exhibits an unmatched appeal.

It tells the world that following the Flying Gate doesn't necessarily mean fighting and killing; you can still have something to eat.

……

Seven days later, on the frontier of the wilderness, in Blackwood City.

Gu Xuan, clad in black armor, personally led a massive force of five thousand Flying Heaven Sect disciples and nearly ten thousand cultivators from various factions to this place.

Looking at the land before him, once ravaged by the demonic leeches and still bearing traces of dark red and scorched black, Gu Xuan's eyes showed no fear, only ambition.

"This place was once the site where my Flying Heaven Sect disciples fought bloody battles."

His voice, amplified by spiritual power, reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Today, we will plant the seeds of hope here! Let this land, polluted by demonic energy, bloom with the colors of life once more!"

"I hereby declare that the 'Wild Wilderness Demonstration Spirit Field Area' of the Flying Gate shall commence construction immediately!"

"This place is flat, close to a tributary of the spiritual vein, and has been initially purified by the Netherworld Purple Mushroom, making it an excellent location for establishing a demonstration spiritual field area."

At the command, the reclamation team sprang into action.

Dozens of cultivators skilled in formations took the lead, taking out formation flags and formation plates, and setting up a large-scale spiritual gathering and protective formation around the valley.

They embedded hundreds of mid-grade spirit stones into the array base while chanting incantations.

The banners fluttered in the air, and beams of spiritual light intertwined to form a net that covered the entire valley area.

"The Spirit Gathering Array can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and improve soil fertility; the Protective Array can resist the invasion of demonic beasts and demonic energy, providing a safe environment for the growth of spiritual herbs."

The formation steward explained to the surrounding cultivators, his hand seals changing as he did so.

The formation suddenly lit up, enveloping the valley in a layer of pale golden light.

Once the formation was set up, the cultivators in charge of land reclamation took up their spirit hoes and began to cultivate the land.

The cultivators channeled their spiritual energy into their arms, and with a shovel, they turned over clumps of soil stained with the remnants of black demonic energy. Then, several cultivators holding jade bottles stepped forward and evenly sprinkled the Netherworld Purple Ganoderma juice from the bottles onto the soil.

The purple sap touched the soil and instantly emitted a faint halo.

"sowing!"

"Roar!"

The crowd cheered, their voices shaking the heavens.

The large group moved about in an orderly manner under the command of the officers at all levels.

"Group A, drive the 'Spirit Gathering Stake' three feet and three inches into the earth's veins to activate the underground spiritual veins!"

"Group B, 'Golden Light Demon-Suppressing Array' activated, array flag positions: Qian 3, Kun 6..."

Soon, a massive complex formation enveloped the reclaimed area within a radius of a hundred miles.

Within the formation, the spiritual energy gradually became denser, and a layer of pale golden light appeared faintly in the sky.

It keeps out the sandstorms and low-level monsters that might come to attack.

The cultivators displayed their unique abilities, their earth-based spells flying, easily plowing through the hard earth and transforming it into neat rows of furrows.

One after another, irrigation canals were dug out, and the clear river water was guided by magic to begin nourishing this nascent spiritual field.

Finally, and most excitingly, is the next step – sowing the seeds.

The first batch planted was the incomparably precious "Frosty Purple Ganoderma".

The disciple in charge of this matter carefully held the jade box and placed the fungi with frost-like patterns on their surface inside.

Each seed was planted by hand in the core spiritual field area.

"Buzz!"

The moment the bacteria fell into the soil, it resonated with the distant spiritual gathering array and the Ice Soul Array underground.

A thin layer of white frost had formed on the surface of the soil in that spiritual field.
An extremely pure purifying power spread out, making the surrounding air much fresher.

Everyone held their breath, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Meanwhile, on the edge of Lingtian District, a "Resource Exchange Hall" built of boulders and ironwood also rose from the ground.

A rogue cultivator who had just casually killed a second-tier demonic wolf while on a guard duty.
With a try-it-out mentality, he handed over the wolf's pelt and claws.

On this land brimming with hope and sweat, an unexpected guest came to visit.

The patriarch of the Icefield Snow Demon Clan, Dao Ancestor Xuefeng, arrived quietly in Blackwood City with a few trusted followers.

"Sect Leader Gu, how have you been?"

The Dao Ancestor Xuefeng was graceful and elegant, dressed in a white dress that was even more beautiful than snow. She looked at the bustling scene before her, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.
"The skill of the Flying Gate is truly astonishing."

"You're too kind, Dao Ancestor Xuefeng."

Gu Xuan personally greeted him and got straight to the point.
"The Dao Ancestor has come here not to praise me, Gu, but surely not to offer a few words of praise?"

Dao Ancestor Xuefeng smiled slightly.
"Sect Leader Gu is a man of few words, so I won't beat around the bush either. The source of the savage evil energy is adjacent to my Ice Plains and is a major threat to our clan. Previously, our clan cooperated with your sect to suppress it with the Ice Soul Array, and it has already shown initial results."

She paused, her tone becoming serious.

"Now that Dao Ancestor Ye's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of creation, and your sect possesses such miraculous means of purifying heaven and earth, I, on behalf of the Icefield Snow Demon Clan, formally propose a comprehensive cooperation with your sect."

“Your clan will provide the technology and manpower to jointly develop the wilderness. My clan will be responsible for guarding the Ice Soul Array and will use the full strength of our clan to assist in eradicating the powerful demons deep within the wilderness. The profits will be split 50/50 between our two clans. What do you say?”

Gu Xuan's heart stirred.

This was exactly what he wanted.

Although the Flying Heaven Sect is powerful, the wilderness is vast and untamed, and relying on the strength of a single sect, its development is still slow.

If they could receive the full support of the Snow Demon Clan, it would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger.

"This matter is of great importance, and I need to consult our sect's patriarch," Gu Xuan said thoughtfully.

“That is to be expected.” Dao Ancestor Xuefeng nodded. “I will await your sect’s reply in Blackwood City.”

……

While the development of the wilderness was in full swing, another development path for the Flying Gate was also quietly unfolding.

Since breaking through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, Ye Yang did not immediately emerge from seclusion.

The Tribulation Realm is a completely new world.

He needs time to settle down, consolidate his strength, and fully utilize it for his own use.

On this day, outside the quiet room on the back mountain of Lingxiao Palace, a beautiful figure stood waiting.

It was Yan Qingying, who had been stationed in the Star Sea Demon Realm for many years, opening up new sources of revenue for the sect from the outer realms.

After receiving Ye Yang's message, she rushed back immediately.

"come in."

The stone door to the quiet room slowly opened, and Yan Qingying stepped inside.

Ye Yang sat cross-legged, his body no longer displaying any unusual phenomena, his aura as deep and profound as the sea, as if he had merged with the entire world.

Just standing in front of him, Yan Qingying felt a pressure emanating from her very soul, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Qingying, congratulations on your advancement to Thunder Tribulation Venerable, may your immortal path be everlasting!"

She bowed deeply in respect.

"Get up."

Ye Yang opened his eyes, his gaze seemingly reflecting the fading of stars, and smiled gently.

"You've worked hard in the Starry Sea Demon Realm all these years."

"Serving the sect is a disciple's duty."

Yan Qingying stood up, her expression showing a hint of urgency.

"Master, I have returned this time with an important plan that I would like to propose to you and the sect."

She took out a jade slip and presented it with both hands.

"Over the years, we have established a firm foothold in many strongholds in the Star Sea Demon Realm, such as Black Wind Gorge and Shattered Star Island. We have trained a group of disciples who are familiar with the Star Sea environment and have also established trade relations with many Star Sea races."

"I believe the time is ripe."

"Why not integrate all the strongholds and forces of the Star Sea Demon Realm and formally establish the 'Flying Heaven Gate Star Domain Branch'!"

"The wild lands can provide us with a solid foundation and a massive population. But if our sect truly wants to stand at the pinnacle of this starry sea, its gaze must be cast towards the vast, boundless cosmos!"

"There, there are even rarer mineral veins, more exotic medicinal herbs, more powerful enemies, and a wider stage!"

"I earnestly request that my senior brother and the sect agree to this plan, and that I personally oversee it, to open a second front for the Flying Heaven Sect! (End of Chapter)"
