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

Flying Gate.

The quiet room in the back mountain has a tightly closed stone door, isolating it from the outside world.

Ye Yang sat cross-legged on the futon, his eyes gently closed, and his spiritual light disappeared.

Although, from the outside, he looks no different from an ordinary cultivator in seclusion.

However, he had actually sunk into a deep understanding of the Tribulation Dao Realm.

Looking inward, Ye Yang clearly "saw" that his primordial spirit had been reborn.

When I was at the peak of the Void Refinement stage, the clarity of my primordial spirit when it took shape was like the moon reflected in murky water compared to now.

Now, his primordial spirit is surrounded by pale golden lightning patterns.

Each lightning pattern seemed to contain an extremely strong true meaning of thunder, and as it gently flowed, subtle spatial ripples spread out with it.

This is the fundamental transformation of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm.

The primordial spirit establishes a direct connection with the laws of heaven and earth, and is no longer a mere container of spiritual energy, but gradually transforms into a pure yang body.

A bearer and user who merges with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and is accompanied by the thunder above the nine heavens.

"I see……"

Ye Yang's divine sense sighed softly in the void.

"The Purple Mansion Realm gathers Qi, the Golden Core Realm condenses Power, the Primordial Spirit Realm manifests Divine power, the Dharma Aspect Realm merges with Heaven and Earth, and the Refining Void Realm comprehends the laws of space."

"All that has happened before was merely borrowing power. Only by stepping into the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm can one truly 'master' the technique."

He tried to activate a trace of his primordial spirit power, and the lightning patterns on his fingertips moved slightly, causing a faint rumble of thunder to sound in the quiet room.

It wasn't caused by a surge of spiritual energy, but rather by him triggering fragments of the free-floating thunder laws in the world.

These fragments, under his control, obediently merged into his body, intertwining with his own Daoist essence.

In the past, cultivation required a lot of time to absorb spiritual energy and purify and refine it, a process that was tedious and extremely wasteful.

Now, with just a thought, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will flow into the body following the laws of nature.

Moreover, it requires no purification and can be directly used for one's own purposes.

What surprised Ye Yang even more was that his Daoist aura could actually feed back into the outside world. As he continued to comprehend the power of thunder in the world...

The faint aura of lightning tribulation emanating from his body quietly seeped out of the quiet room and merged into the spiritual veins of the Flying Heaven Sect.

The originally somewhat sluggish spiritual veins began to slowly accelerate their flow under the nourishment of the Daoist essence of the lightning tribulation, and the concentration of spiritual energy increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Within a hundred feet of the meditation room, spiritual energy gathered into a visible mist, wisps and strands almost tangible.

Inhaling just one breath will clear your mind and invigorate your spirit.

And the other side.

The first to notice the anomaly were several inner disciples who were cultivating nearby.

These were all outer disciples. They had come to the meditation room because it was where Dao Ancestor Ye cultivated in seclusion, hoping to absorb some of his Daoist essence. However, they hadn't expected that they would have just sat down cross-legged.

Then I felt a powerful and pure spiritual energy rushing towards me.

Even more remarkably, the spiritual energy contained a faint trace of the Daoist principles of tribulation lightning.

The moment they touched the primordial spirit, their long-standing cultivation bottlenecks began to loosen.

"The spiritual energy here is so rich!"

A disciple at the late stage of martial arts was overjoyed and quickly adjusted his breathing to absorb the energy.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the sect, and more and more disciples came to visit.

They spontaneously sat cross-legged a hundred feet away from the meditation room, forming a huge circular formation. No one made a sound, and they were all immersed in this uniquely blessed environment for cultivation.

Those with exceptional comprehension, guided by the Daoist principles of the tribulation lightning, will...

On the spot, flashes of inspiration, breaking through the bottleneck, appeared one after another.
"Thank you for your protection, Dao Ancestor!"

One disciple, who had just broken through and gained some insights under the influence of the tribulation lightning, was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

The next moment, he knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to the quiet room, his voice full of gratitude.

Seeing this, the other disciples also stood up and bowed.

For a moment, shouts of praise rose and fell outside the quiet room.

Yet everything was orderly, as if afraid of disturbing the Dao Ancestor inside.

In particular, many of the elderly elders were already at the end of their lives.

However, under the influence of the tribulation lightning today, he suddenly gained some insights.

They sat cross-legged, and between the opening and closing of their eyes, they could see the activity of the sect's spiritual veins constantly increasing.

In addition, there was an indescribable aura circulating wildly.

The fortune of the entire Flying Heaven Sect is rising accordingly.

This is the true essence of the Thunder Tribulation Venerable; by simply cultivating in seclusion, he can nourish the sect and bless his disciples.

This ability far exceeds the comprehension of ordinary cultivators.
"Pass down the order to increase the number of disciples guarding the area around the meditation room. No one is allowed to approach within a hundred feet without permission. Anyone who violates this rule will be severely punished according to the sect's regulations."

"In addition, prepare fasting pills and protective magic tools for the disciples who are cultivating, so that they will not damage their foundation due to excessive cultivation."

at the same time.

In other corners of the Star Sea Realm, the shockwaves caused by Ye Yang's breakthrough to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm continued to reverberate.

Inside the Qingyun Hall of the Qingyun Sect.

Qingyun Sanren, dressed in a green robe, held a communication jade slip in his hand, his expression solemn yet unable to conceal his excitement.

On both sides of the hall, the elders of each sect stood solemnly, creating a dignified atmosphere.

"Everyone, I'm sure you all already know the news that Ye Yang of the Flying Heaven Sect has broken through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm."

Qingyun Sanren spoke slowly, his voice echoing throughout the hall.

“Back when Daozu Ye was still alive, my Qingyun Sect and the Feitian Sect had an alliance.”

"Now that he has become the Thunder Tribulation Venerable, the landscape of the Star Sea Realm has changed."

An elder with white hair stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

"Sect Leader, with the rise of Dao Ancestor Ye, the Flying Sky Sect is unstoppable. Although we have cooperated before, our relationship has always remained superficial."

"Now that he has advanced to the Tribulation Realm, it is the perfect opportunity for us to strengthen our ties. If we can form a solid alliance with the Flying Heaven Sect, the status of our Azure Cloud Sect in the Star Sea Realm will surely rise to a higher level."

That's very true.

Another elder echoed this.

"Master Ye is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. When the demons attacked us, our two sects were in trouble, and he helped us more than once."

"Now that he has become a Venerable, we should personally pay him a visit to congratulate him. Firstly, to repay the favors we have made in the past, and secondly, to secure our position with this powerful figure. After all, the Star Sea Realm is turbulent, and only by having a Thunder Tribulation Venerable as a backer can we stand firmly."

Qingyun Sanren nodded slightly, a resolute look flashing in his eyes.

"My mind is made up. I will personally go to the Flying Heaven Gate to pay my respects to Dao Ancestor Ye. I will prepare a generous gift, retrieve the sect's treasured 'Azure Cloud Marrow,' and bring a hundred 'Spirit Condensation Pills' to demonstrate the Azure Cloud Sect's sincerity. I will depart in three days!"

A similar scene unfolded within the Flowing Cloud Sect.

The Flowing Cloud Sect Master stood in the center of the main hall, his sharp gaze sweeping over the elders below. "With Dao Ancestor Ye breaking through the tribulation, the Flying Heaven Sect has already become a top force in the Star Sea Realm. I'm afraid it won't be long before he sits down to preach, creating blessings in all directions, turning it into a holy land."

“Our Liuyun Sect is located on the frontier and has been plagued by demonic creatures for many years. Although we have had some dealings with the Feitian Sect before, we have not developed a deep relationship. Now, it is time to take the initiative.”

"The lord is wise."

A middle-aged elder said.

"The Flying Heaven Sect is developing the wilderness and urgently needs assistance from all sides. If we go to offer our congratulations now and take the initiative to propose cooperation, I believe Dao Ancestor Ye will not refuse. At that time, we can not only use the power of the Flying Heaven Sect to wipe out the demons on the border, but also share the benefits of the wilderness development, killing two birds with one stone."

The sect leader of Liuyun Sect nodded.

"Prepare a grand gift. Take out the 'Deep Sea Spirit Crystals' from the warehouse and select two Dao artifacts. I will personally lead the team, and we will set off for the Flying Heaven Gate tomorrow!"

"What? A Dao artifact?"

Upon hearing this, a chorus of gasps erupted from below.

It should be noted that even the entire Liuyun Sect has very few Dao artifacts; they are all sect treasures.

Deep within the icy plains, inside the ice crystal palace of the Snow Demon clan.

Dao Ancestor Xuefeng, dressed in a white dress, stood quietly in the hall, with a water mirror floating in front of him.

The mirror reflected the scene of disciples cultivating around the meditation room of the Flying Heaven Sect.

"Dao Ancestor, Dao Ancestor Ye has been in seclusion, yet he has been able to nourish his spiritual veins and bless his disciples. He is a Dao Venerable of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm. Such methods are truly extraordinary."

An elder said respectfully.

Dao Ancestor Xuefeng smiled slightly, his voice clear and cold like jade striking each other.

"The Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm is a realm that transcends all living beings. It is not surprising that Dao Ancestor Ye has such abilities."

“I had previously proposed full cooperation to the Flying Heaven Sect. Now that he has advanced to the Tribulation of Thunder, it is a crucial moment to finalize the cooperation and deepen the relationship.”

She paused and continued.

"The territory where my Snow Demon clan resides is adjacent to the source of the savage evil energy, and has long been troubled by it. Only by deeply binding ourselves with the Flying Heaven Sect and borrowing the thunderous power of Dao Ancestor Ye can we completely resolve this major threat. This trip to the Flying Heaven Sect is not only to offer our congratulations, but also to finalize the details of our cooperation."

"Dao Ancestor, what kind of gift should we prepare?"

Another elder asked.

“Take the ‘Ice Soul Snow Lotus’ treasured by our clan. This flower is nurtured by the origin of ice and can nourish the primordial spirit and stabilize the foundation of the Dao. It is also of great use to the Thunder Tribulation Venerable. In addition, the cultivation of the lower-level disciples in the Flying Heaven Sect is limited.”

"Bring another hundred portions of 'Ice Marrow Liquid' to aid in cultivation and dispel demonic influences."

"This is what Dao Ancestor Xuefeng instructed."

"Prepare immediately. I will go there personally and make sure that Daozu Ye feels the sincerity of my Snow Demon Clan."

Three days later, outside the Flying Heaven Gate.

Three streaks of light arrived one after another, landing before the mountain gate. They were none other than Qingyun Sanren, Liuyun Sect Master, and Xuefeng Daozu, each accompanied by their personal guards and generous gifts.

Qingyun Sanren stepped forward.

"We have heard that Dao Ancestor Ye has advanced to the Tribulation Realm, so we have come to offer our congratulations. Please inform him that Qingyun of the Qingyun Sect requests an audience with Dao Ancestor Ye."

Sect Master Liuyun and Dao Ancestor Xuefeng also expressed their intentions.

The gatekeeper disciple dared not delay and quickly turned around to go inside and report.

At this moment, Ye Yang, who was in the quiet room, had already noticed the commotion outside.

His divine sense covered the entire Flying Heaven Gate, and the arrival of the three Dao Ancestors naturally could not escape his perception.

"Qingyun Sanren, Liuyun Sect Master, Xuefeng Daozu..."

Ye Yang slowly opened his eyes, and the lightning patterns in his eyes flashed and disappeared.

"It seems that all the forces in the Star Sea Realm have already noticed the change in the landscape."

With a thought, the Daoist aura of the lightning tribulation around him slowly receded, and the spiritual mist outside the quiet room gradually dissipated as well.

The disciples who were cultivating opened their eyes, their faces full of reluctance, but they also knew that something important must have happened.

"Since you're here, let's meet them."

Ye Yang said softly, and with a movement, he disappeared from the quiet room. When he reappeared, he was already standing outside the Lingxiao Palace.

Huo Bing Shuang had already received the notification and was waiting outside the hall. Upon seeing Ye Yang, she quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Master."

"Ah."

Ye Yang nodded slightly, his tone indifferent.

Where are Qingyun Sanren and the others?

“They are already waiting at the mountain gate. This disciple will go and invite them here immediately,” Gu Xuan said.

"No need."

Ye Yang waved his hand, "I'll go greet them myself."

After saying that, Ye Yang strode forward.

His movements appeared slow, but in reality, he covered several miles in a single step, arriving at the mountain gate in an instant.

The Qingyun Sanren, Liuyun Sect Master, and Xuefeng Daozu, who were waiting, all had their pupils shrink the moment they saw Ye Yang.

They clearly felt an immense and unparalleled pressure bearing down on them.

This oppressive aura was not deliberately released, but rather stemmed from an absolute crushing power in terms of realm, like the might of heaven and earth, instilling awe in people involuntarily.

“We apologize for not welcoming you properly, fellow Daoists, you have come from afar. Please come into the hall for a chat.”

As soon as the words were spoken, the immense pressure dissipated, but the shock in the hearts of the three remained for a long time.

They were all cultivators at or above the Nascent Soul Dao Realm.

In particular, Master Qingyun broke through to the Refinement of Emptiness realm earlier than Ye Yang.

They were only one step away from the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, yet they could clearly feel the chasm between them.

"Is this the strength of a Thunder Tribulation Venerable? The mere aura he exudes is enough to inspire awe."

"You're too kind, Daozu Ye."

Master Qingyun immediately realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to bow respectfully.

"Congratulations to Dao Ancestor Ye on advancing to the Tribulation of Lightning! Your path to immortality is boundless!"

Sect Master Liuyun and Dao Ancestor Xuefeng also stepped forward to pay their respects and offer their blessings.

Ye Yang nodded slightly and turned to the side, gesturing an invitation: "Fellow Daoists, please."

Having said that, he turned and strode away, with Qingyun Sanren and the other two quickly following. Along the way, the disciples of the Flying Heaven Sect all bowed respectfully upon seeing Ye Yang.

Inside the palace.

The guests and hosts took their seats. The disciples served spirit tea, its fragrant aroma soothing and refreshing.

"The three of you have come here not just to offer your congratulations, have you?"

Ye Yang picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and spoke calmly. (End of Chapter)
