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

Huo Bing Shuang let out a breath.

The crystal jade box was placed flat in front of the prayer mat.

The Ice Soul Snow Lotus floated in mid-air, like a mini ice moon, pouring out pure white ice-type spiritual power.

Huo Bing Shuang sat cross-legged.

Ice patterns swirled around her, intertwining with the power of the snow lotus to form a cocoon that enveloped her layer by layer.

She lightly tapped her fingers together.

Following the breathing techniques taught by Ye Yang to circulate his spiritual energy, thoughts involuntarily surged in his mind.

She closed her eyes, and fragments of her past spiritual practice flashed through her mind like a tide.

When she first entered the Flying Heaven Sect, it was Daozu Ye who recognized her ice-type spiritual root at a glance and personally taught her the methods and sword techniques.

In addition, he personally guided her in her studies and spiritual practice.

Countless late nights.

She was sweating profusely in the sword training ground, and when she was stuck at a bottleneck in her sword technique, it was her master who gave her a word of advice.

"Ice is not only cold and frigid, but also contains a clear radiance and resilience, like a cold pine tree under the moon, or a firefly breaking through the frost."

This sentence kept reminding her and spurring her forward.

"In the path of cultivation, the method, the means, and the mind are all indispensable, but the mind is the foundation."

"If one wants to break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, one needs to go a step further on this foundation and condense one's own Dao Heart."

Huo Bing Shuang pondered to herself.

She emphasizes using her primordial spirit to control the sword intent and using the icy charm to reflect the moonlight. In the past, she only knew how to activate the power of ice, but failed to integrate the principles of "following nature and aligning the mind with the Dao" taught by Ye Yang.

She had been practicing Buddhism for many years.

At this moment, the power of the snow lotus nourishes the primordial spirit.

The confusion and obstacles of the past have slowly melted away like ice and snow meeting the warm sun.

In that instant of clarity, Huo Bing Shuang felt a sudden tremor in her primordial spirit between her brows.

Immediately afterwards, a clear and powerful force burst forth from the depths of the primordial spirit.

The ice patterns around her suddenly lit up, no longer a monotonous white, but instead tinged with a faint moonlight.

"Buzz!"

With a slight tremor, the void above her head distorted slightly.

A Dharma image dressed in a plain white dress and holding an Ice Moon Sword slowly condensed, which was the Dharma image of the Moon Fairy she had cultivated for many years.

In the past, this Dharma form could only be vaguely seen, and its spiritual power was weak.

At this moment, the Dharma Image was surrounded by a surge of mysterious light, and as its robes fluttered, countless ice moon runes flowed around it, even condensing the air in the quiet room into tiny ice flowers.

Yet, under the influence of the moonlight, it did not appear harsh or piercing; instead, it exuded a gentle yet powerful aura.

The barrier of the Primordial Spirit Dao Realm suddenly loosened at this moment.

Abundant spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged wildly in from outside the quiet room, seeping in through the gaps in the lightning-patterned barrier and flowing entirely into Huo Bing Shuang's body.

Within the main hall.

Ye Yang was gazing at the surging crowd of cultivators from the Flying Heaven Sect in the distance, pondering the future development path of the Flying Heaven Sect.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, a glint flashed in his eyes, and his gaze was precisely fixed on the direction of the quiet room in the back mountain.

"Ok?"

He let out a soft exclamation, and the lightning patterns on his fingertips trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy entered my senses.

The fluctuation contained both the crispness of the ice element and the gentleness of the moonlight element.

It also carries with it a vibrant vitality that breaks through constraints.

Ye Yang stood up, and the pale golden lightning patterns around his body suddenly bloomed, but they did not carry the domineering power of lightning tribulation. Instead, they exuded a gentle Daoist charm.

He raised his finger and flicked it lightly. A condensed golden-purple light burst forth from his fingertip, streaking across the sky like a shooting star, piercing through layers of lightning-patterned barriers, and landing precisely inside the quiet room.

It was wrapped around Huo Bing Shuang's Moon Fairy Dharma Image.

Within the profound light, there is the purifying power of the Daoist essence of the Thunder Tribulation, which can help her stabilize her primordial spirit and break through barriers.

It also contained Ye Yang's own understanding of the Dao principles.

Like a guiding light, preventing her from going astray during her breakthrough.

"Make the most of this opportunity."

Ye Yang murmured softly, his eyes filled with approval.

Huo Bing Shuang already had a solid foundation and a calm mind. With the support of the Ice Soul Snow Lotus and his Daoist charm, her breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm was a natural outcome.

He slowly raised his hand, and lightning patterns spread around him, further reinforcing the barrier of the quiet room in the back mountain.

At the same time, a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth was drawn into the barrier.

This will provide more support for Huo Bing Shuang's breakthrough.

At this moment, when Huo Bing Shuang broke through her realm, it wasn't only Ye Yang who possessed the necessary techniques.

On the other side, Gu Xuan and Yan Qingying were familiarizing themselves with their newly acquired Dao artifacts when they suddenly sensed the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations and primordial spirit pressure coming from the direction of the back mountain, and both of them couldn't help but feel a tightness in their hearts.

The two then immediately put away their magical artifacts and transformed into two streaks of light, speeding towards the back mountain.

Upon arriving outside the quiet room, they saw layers of lightning-patterned barriers enveloping the area, with Ye Daozu's aura flowing across them.

When they sensed Huo Bing Shuang's ever-increasing power within the barrier, the two immediately understood the reason.

"Frost is attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm!"

Holding the Flowing Cloud Fan, Yan Qingying waved it lightly, creating a gentle breeze around her as she cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

"Senior Brother Ye has already set up a barrier. With the protection of the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, we will guard this place."

Gu Xuan nodded in agreement, put on the Canglan Armor, and the armor, forged from deep-sea black iron, rippled with faint water patterns, and a heavy defensive power spread out.

He stood guard on the left side of the barrier and said in a deep voice.

"Pay attention to the aura within the barrier. If there is any unusual activity, send a message immediately."

Yan Qingying nodded, her fingertips lightly tapping the Flowing Cloud Fan. The patterns of spatial laws faintly appeared as she carefully probed the edge of the barrier with her own spiritual power, so as to sense Huo Bingshuang's breakthrough progress without disturbing her.

Inside the quiet room, Huo Bing Shuang was bathed in the golden-purple light given to her by Ye Yang, and her image as the Fairy of the Moon became increasingly solid.

The light was dazzling and brilliant.

The connection between the primordial spirit and the physical body became increasingly close, gradually eroding the final barrier of the primordial spirit realm.

At this moment, she could clearly feel the blessing of her master's Daoist aura.

With Ye Yang personally protecting him, he felt increasingly at ease, discarding all distracting thoughts and leaving only his understanding of the Dao realm and his determination to break through.

Outside the quiet room, Gu Xuan and Yan Qingying each performed their duties.

With the two of them personally guarding the area, it was as solid as a rock, forming a strong barrier for Huo Bing Shuang's breakthrough.

Quiet room.

The spiritual light beside Huo Bing Shuang grew even brighter.

next moment.

Suddenly, the celestial being in the moon raised her hand, and a long sword of ice and moon pointed straight at the sky. Countless ice and moon runes flew out from the celestial being's body and intertwined with Huo Bing Shuang's primordial spirit.

"Crack!"

With a soft, crisp sound, the barrier of the Nascent Soul Dao Realm shattered completely.

The boundless spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into her body like a flood bursting its banks, nourishing her primordial spirit and physical body.

The image of the Moon Fairy slowly merged into her body, transforming into pure Daoist essence that settled in her dantian and between her eyebrows.

Huo Bing Shuang slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with a light that blended moonlight and icy radiance, her aura calm and powerful.

She raised her hand, feeling the surging power within her, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

This is the advantage of being part of a sect.

Without the gifts, guidance, and protection from her master Ye Yang, and without the protection of Gu Xuan and Yan Qingying, she would never have been able to break through so smoothly.

She rose, straightened her robes, and bowed deeply in the direction of the main hall.

He then slowly pushed open the door to the quiet room, welcoming the two people guarding outside.

Ye Yang, however, seemed to have already foreseen the outcome.

The next moment, the pale golden lightning patterns around his body disappeared, and his gaze towards the back mountain was full of expectation.

Huo Bing Shuang walked up to the two of them and concealed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around her.

She bowed slightly to Gu Xuan and Yan Qingying, her voice clear yet warm.

"I am deeply grateful to the sect leader and my uncle for protecting this town and shielding me from outside disturbances. I am extremely grateful for this breakthrough."

Yan Qingying quickly supported her arm, gently waving her cloud-shaped fan, her smile gentle and sweet.

"We're all from the same sect, saying such things would be too formal."

"Your successful breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm is both your good fortune and your strength, and it is also a blessing for our Flying Heaven Sect."

Gu Xuan nodded in agreement, and the water ripples on the Canglan Armor slowly disappeared as he spoke in a deep voice.

"From now on, the sect will have another capable fighter who can stand alone. This is a cause for celebration."

As the three were talking, a pale golden streak of light swept across the sky and landed in the courtyard in an instant.

Ye Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his plain Taoist robe fluttering without wind, and a gentle Taoist aura emanating from him.

Upon seeing this, Huo Bing Shuang immediately curtsied and bowed deeply to Ye Yang.

“This disciple has lived up to expectations and broken through to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm. This is all thanks to Master’s guidance with Daoist principles and the strengthening of the protective barrier. This disciple will never forget this kindness.”

Ye Yang raised his hand to support her, and a gentle force lifted her up.

"Your foundation is solid, your mind is clear, and you are able to break through the shackles and concentrate your Dao heart. Ultimately, this is due to your own diligence. I was just going along with the trend and it is nothing to do with any great favor."

His gaze swept over Huo Bing Shuang, noticing the excellent harmony between her primordial spirit and physical body.

"You cultivate sword techniques, and you need to hone your sword intent through actual combat and integrate the power of the Dao realm into your sword moves in order to truly master the wonders of primordial spirit controlling the sword."

Huo Bing Shuang's heart stirred.

“Master is absolutely right. After my breakthrough, I felt my spiritual energy surging, but my sword intent was in my heart and I had nowhere to unleash it.”

"That wild and desolate region is teeming with strange beasts and its laws are unpredictable. It is not only an excellent place to hone oneself, but also a place where many rare and precious treasures are hidden. This disciple is willing to go to the wild and desolate region to train, to hone my sword skills and stabilize my Dao realm, and at the same time, to contribute my modest efforts to the development of the sect."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three, but they immediately agreed.

The wild and desolate regions are extremely dangerous, but they are also a testing ground for cultivators to grow rapidly.

Ye Yang pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Alright, I grant you permission to go. Although the wilderness is dangerous, it can help you quickly shed your naivety and completely integrate your primordial spirit power with your sword technique."

With that, he raised his hand and waved it, revealing a pure white jade pendant with flowing ice-moon patterns in his palm.

A pale golden lightning bolt is embedded in the center of the jade pendant, with a faint spiritual light swirling around it.

"This treasure is called the 'Ice Moon Thunder Sound Pendant'. It was forged by me using Ice Marrow Jade as the base and incorporating a trace of Thunder Tribulation Dao Rhyme."

Ye Yang flicked his finger, and the jade pendant landed in Huo Bing Shuang's hand.

"It can protect your primordial spirit from the erosion of the wild and treacherous laws. In times of danger, it can activate the Thunder Sound Barrier to block attacks from cultivators below the Refinement Void Realm and strange beasts."

Huo Bing Shuang gripped the jade pendant tightly, feeling a refreshing power flow into her body through her palm, resonating subtly with her own icy moonlight, making her heart feel even warmer.

She bowed again, her voice firm and resolute.

"Disciple thanks Master for bestowing this treasure! I will certainly live up to Master's trust and the sect's expectations. Upon returning from my training, I will serve the sect!"

Ye Yang nodded slightly, about to give a few more instructions, when suddenly his brows furrowed, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the lightning patterns on his fingertips began to throb uncontrollably.

Ye Yang did not respond, his gaze piercing through the layers of mountains and heading straight towards the distant, wild region.

“Deep in the wilderness, there are unusual fluctuations in the Dao principles, as if an ancient restriction has been triggered, and it is mixed with the aura of the lightning element…”

Before he finished speaking, the pale golden lightning patterns around his body suddenly burst forth, transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning.

"I'll be right back. The three of you each have your own duties."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang transformed into a streak of lightning and shot towards the sky like a meteor, disappearing in an instant at the edge of the clouds. (End of Chapter)
