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

Chapter 1289 Major Sect Affairs, Great Discussion Today

Ye Yang brushed his fingertips across the jade slip, instantly comprehending its contents with his divine sense. He closed his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

The next moment, Ye Yang opened his eyes, clearly having a complete grasp of Yan Qingying's plan.

After breaking through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm, he could influence the surrounding space at any time.

At this moment, as his emotions stirred slightly, a subtle ripple appeared in the surrounding space, which then returned to calm after a short while.

He looked up at Yan Qingying, his tone filled with obvious approval.

"Qingying, your plan is brilliant. With the wilderness as our foundation and the starry sky as our path forward, this is the only way for our Flying Heaven Sect to stand at the pinnacle of the starry sea."

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingying's tense shoulders relaxed slightly, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"Your considerations are far-sighted. The matter of establishing a branch in the starry sky is feasible." Ye Yang nodded slowly.

"However, this matter should not be rushed. It should be carried out in tandem with the development of the wilderness, and only by proceeding on two fronts can we be on the safe side."

"Although the wilderness has begun to be cultivated, the foundation is not yet stable. A capable person is needed to oversee and coordinate the work, so as to stabilize the rear for the opening of the Starry Sky Branch."

He pondered for a moment, and then decided on his choice.

"Xue Yan is highly skilled and decisive, and has been in charge of the sect's punishments for many years, so he has enough prestige. Junior Brother Wang Dong is proficient in battle formations, and his personal guards are all capable warriors. The combination of the two is enough to deal with all kinds of changes in the wilderness."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang flicked his finger, and two beams of spiritual light flew out from his fingertip, piercing through the stone door of the meditation room and heading straight for the depths of the sect.

"Issue my decree, ordering True Man Bloodflame and Elder Wang Dong to come to the Lingxiao Palace immediately for a meeting."

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, two figures appeared outside the quiet room.

"Xue Yan (Wang Dong) pays respects to the Dao Ancestor!"

The two bowed respectfully, their demeanor calm and composed, clearly ready to receive their orders.

"No need to be polite."

Ye Yang gestured for the two to stand up, briefly explained Yan Qingying's idea and the two-pronged strategy, and then looked at the two of them.

"I have summoned you two here today to lead a team to the wild and untamed region to oversee the preliminary exploration and planning for the establishment of the branch clan."

He raised his hand and waved it, and a three-dimensional star map of a wild and desolate region floated in front of the three of them.

The area surrounding Blackwood Castle is marked in great detail on the map.

"There are three core missions for this trip. First, to explore the thousand-mile territory surrounding Blackwood City, to understand the topography, distribution of spiritual veins, and concentration of demonic energy, so as to define the scope for the selection of a branch site and subsequent large-scale development."

"Secondly, we will coordinate the existing land reclamation teams, optimize the planting layout of spiritual plants, and ensure a stable increase in the production capacity of spiritual plants such as Purple Thunder Grass and Frost-patterned Purple Ganoderma."

"Thirdly, investigate the distribution of monsters and the lairs of demonic beasts in the depths of the wilderness to provide intelligence support for the subsequent extermination plan."

"The sect will allocate high-grade spirit stones, magic-grade spirit hoes, and a thousand portions of purple thunder grass seeds for the two of you. In addition, two hundred disciples skilled in exploration, formations, and planting will be assigned to accompany you."

Ye Yang added, his tone tinged with seriousness.

"The wilderness is fraught with unknown dangers. Although I am here to deter all sides, you must still act with caution and not venture too far. If you encounter an insurmountable crisis, you can crush this communication jade talisman, and I will come to your aid immediately."

A translucent white jade talisman slowly floated into the hand of True Immortal Blood Flame. It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and one could faintly sense the immense spiritual power contained within it.

"Disciple obeys! I will certainly not fail the mission of the Dao Ancestor!"

Blood Flame Immortal and Elder Wang Dong responded in unison, their eyes filled with determination.

The next morning, Master Xueyan led his well-prepared exploration team and left Feitian Gate in a grand procession, heading straight for the desolate Blackwood City.

The news spread, and morale soared throughout the Flying Heaven Sect.

Everyone understood that the era of the Flying Gate had begun.

Yan Qingying immediately returned to the Star Sea Demon Realm and began to integrate the forces of various strongholds.

To prepare for the establishment of the Starry Sky Branch.

Inside the quiet room, after Yan Qingying left, Gu Xuan came again to inquire about the follow-up matters of land reclamation.

Ye Yang explained the two-pronged strategy to him, and Gu Xuan repeatedly praised it.

"Developing along two fronts is indeed a brilliant plan. It can both solidify our foundation and pave the way for the future. Our Flying Heaven Sect will surely take advantage of this opportunity to create new glories!"

Time flew by amidst the intense preparation and development, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a rapid message arrived from the direction of Blackwood City and landed in Ye Yang's hand.

He scanned the area with his divine sense, and his brows furrowed slightly.

The messengers were Xue Yan and Wang Dong.

The message provided a detailed report on the exploration team's achievements and discoveries over the past two weeks, with quite encouraging results.

Led by the two, the exploration team has ventured deep into the wild and desolate region, explored the thousand-mile territory surrounding Blackwood City, and found three areas rich in spiritual veins.

These three locations could all become the sites for establishing branches of the Flying Heaven Sect.

The Purple Thunder Grass has been planted under the personal care of the two.

However, the hidden dangers are equally prominent. In his message, Blood Flame Master mentioned that since the news of Ye Yang's advancement to Thunder Tribulation Venerable spread...

The main forces of several rival sects that originally occupied the edge of the wilderness, such as the Earth Dragon Sect, the Yin Bone Sect, and the Blood Soul Sect, have all quietly retreated.

They dared not compete with the Flying Heaven Gate for the right to develop the wilderness, which reduced a lot of resistance to the early stages of development.

But what followed were even more difficult problems.

After the powerful figures of these forces withdrew from the desolate region, some monstrous beasts from the depths of the wilderness began to emerge.

While exploring a valley suspected to be a high-level spiritual vein, the exploration team encountered a three-headed flame lion at the Dharma Aspect True Person realm.

This beast is covered in pitch-black demonic flames, possesses immense strength, and can spew flames containing demonic energy from its mouth; ordinary cultivators who touch it will die instantly.

If Wang Dong hadn't personally intervened and led his personal guards to set up a trapping formation to temporarily repel the enemy, the exploration team would likely have suffered heavy losses.

In addition, the exploration team also discovered traces of high-level demonic beasts in many areas, including the aura of demonic beasts and monsters at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm and above.

Ye Yang pondered for a moment and then realized the problem.

Although the Flying Heaven Sect is now under his command and its top-level combat strength is not a concern, the number of middle and lower-level cultivators is insufficient.

Moreover, most of them are at the Martial Artist, Purple Mansion, or Golden Core realms, and they still find it somewhat difficult to face high-level demonic beasts deep in the wilderness.

At the same time, the current pioneering teams are composed of a large proportion of independent cultivators and cultivators from small families, whose combat strength varies greatly. If we forcefully push forward with in-depth development, we will inevitably suffer a large number of casualties.

Over time, morale will decline, and the sect's resources may be over-consumed, leading to turmoil and deficits.

Ye Yang placed the communication jade slip on the table, tapping the surface lightly with his fingertips, and fell into deep thought.

Xueyan's words were true; this was precisely the issue he had previously worried about but hadn't thought deeply about.

The Flying Heaven Sect experienced a low point after his "disappearance," and the problem of a gap in the middle and lower-level cultivators has always existed.

Although there have been some recruitment efforts in recent years, the foundation remains weak.

Moreover, this wild and desolate region is vast and stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers, and no one has yet figured out what secrets it holds.

The development of the wilderness requires a massive workforce, as it is necessary to deal with the attacks of monsters and to promote the reclamation of spiritual fields and the establishment of branch sects.

If the Flying Heaven Sect were to force its way forward on its own, it would only backfire. Not only would it fail to develop the wilderness quickly, but it might also drag down the sect's development.

"It seems that going it alone won't work."

Ye Yang gradually formed an idea, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"The wilderness is vast and boundless, rich in resources, and cannot be monopolized by our Flying Heaven Sect alone. Rather than bearing the risks and pressures alone, it would be better to unite with other powerful and willing sects to develop it together."

He got up and walked to the window, looking at the distant, continuous mountain range, landing on that wild land full of opportunities and dangers.

"In this way, we can not only share the development pressure and make up for the lack of combat power at the bottom level in our sect, but also use the strength of other sects to jointly wipe out the demons and monsters in the depths of the wilderness and speed up the development process."

"At the same time, we can also take this opportunity to win over a group of allies, consolidate the Flying Heaven Sect's position in the Star Sea Realm, and create a more favorable external environment for the subsequent opening of the Starry Sky Branch Sect."

With this in mind, Ye Yang already had a preliminary list of potential allies.

Those sects that have long-standing ties with the Flying Heaven Sect, have no deep-seated hatred, and possess considerable strength, such as the Azure Cloud Sect, could consider cooperating.

However, sects like the Earth Dragon Sect, which betrayed the Flying Heaven Sect when he disappeared, should also be dealt with when necessary.

"Gu Xuan!"

Ye Yang called out in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Ye Yang's instructions, Gu Xuan quickly appeared outside the hall.

"What are your instructions, Dao Ancestor?"

"Immediately draft an invitation and send it to sects such as Qingyun Sect and Liuyun Sect, inviting the sect leaders to come to Feitian Gate to discuss the grand plan for the development of the wilderness."

Ye Yang gave the order, his tone firm.

"In addition, order Bloodflame Master to suspend in-depth exploration, lead the team to defend the existing development area, strengthen vigilance, and reassure the morale of the pioneering team. The subsequent development plan will be determined after the meeting."

Gu Xuan acknowledged and withdrew, knowing that the Flying Heaven Sect was now proposing a joint development plan with various sects.

As the leader of the Flying Heaven Sect, he is most familiar with the current situation of the sect.

This method also met his expectations.

When the news spread, although there were some doubts among the members of the Flying Heaven Sect, they all understood the deeper meaning after learning the message sent back by True Person Blood Flame.

Meanwhile, Ye Yang had already returned to the quiet room in the back mountain.

He knew that uniting the various sects was only a temporary measure, and the long-term development of the Flying Heaven Sect would ultimately depend on improving its own strength.

Taking advantage of the break in the preparations for the joint meeting, he needed to further solidify his cultivation at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm.

Inside the quiet room, spiritual light gathered once more, and Ye Yang's aura became increasingly profound, faintly resonating with the boundless energy of thunder tribulation in the world.
