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

Ye Yang, wielding his cyan Dao power, moved like an arrow through the clouds, his aura not yet fully restored to its peak.

Yet he remained calm and composed, showing no signs of being disheveled after the great battle.

Although killing the Slanting Sun Taoist just now consumed most of my Taoist power.

However, the unexpected gains of the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, the Purple Lightning Crystal Jade, and the Slanting Sun Treasure Wheel were enough to make up for the losses and even gave him more confidence.

He glanced down at the storage pouch at his waist, his fingertips rubbing it slightly, his expression shifting subtly.

This barter conference was very fruitful, not only making up for many of the shortcomings of the Flying Heaven Sect, but also bringing great benefits to itself.

But one thing always lingered in his heart: the desire to break through to the Mahayana realm.

When he last met Ancestor Canghai, the other party gave him some pointers on the key to his cultivation bottleneck. Although the method of breaking through was not explicitly stated, it still enlightened him.

After leaving the Glazed Palace, we can conveniently detour to the Canghai.

If I could receive further guidance from the ancestor, I might be able to find a breakthrough to the Mahayana realm.

With this in mind, Ye Yang turned around, changed his flight direction, and sped towards the depths of the ocean.

The Starry Sky Sea connects with the Vast Ocean, and at their boundary, clouds and mist swirl, making the spiritual energy even more intense. One can even faintly hear the roar of waves crashing against the rocks, a stark contrast to the tranquility above the sea of ​​clouds.

The closer one gets to the core of the ocean, the purer the spiritual energy becomes. Ye Yang took a breath and felt the Dao power in his dantian stir slightly, and his fatigue dissipated somewhat.

Before long, an island shrouded in a pale blue mist appeared before them.

Ye Yang stopped outside the mist, cupped his hands, and said loudly.

"Junior Ye Yang requests an audience with Ancestor Canghai. I hope the Ancestor will appear and grant me an audience, as I have matters of cultivation to seek your guidance."

The sound pierced through the mist and reached the island, but there was no response for a long time.

Ye Yang remained calm and patiently waited, still standing with his hands clasped in front of him.

He knew that the Ancestor of the Vast Ocean was aloof and disliked being disturbed. He was already lucky to have received guidance from the Ancestor last time.

After waiting for a full half hour, an old and distant voice slowly drifted from the island.

“Fellow Daoist, I am currently in seclusion, focusing on breaking through my cultivation level. I have no time to receive guests. It will be better to discuss this with you in detail once I emerge from seclusion.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint spiritual light appeared on the island.

The fluctuations within the formation grew increasingly intense, completely enveloping the entire island, making it impossible to sense any trace of its presence.

He understood that cultivation ultimately depended on oneself.

The ancestor's guidance is merely external; if one's own foundation is not solid, even with more guidance, it will be difficult to break through to a higher realm.

"Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. I will keep it in mind."

Ye Yang bowed again, his tone respectful.

"This junior dares not disturb the patriarch's seclusion. I will take my leave now. I will come to seek your guidance again when the patriarch emerges from seclusion."

Having said that, he didn't linger. With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of azure light and sped off towards the Flying Heaven Gate.

After speeding all the way through the night, Ye Yang finally arrived at the Flying Gate.

Ye Yang's figure flickered, and he stepped into the mountain gate.

His most important task at the moment is to go into seclusion to cultivate, digest the treasures he obtained from this exchange event, stabilize his own realm, and lay a solid foundation for breaking through to the Mahayana realm in the future.

Ye Yang's cultivation chamber is located deep within the Qingyun Mountains, secluded and quiet. Inside, a spirit-gathering array is set up, and the concentration of spiritual energy far exceeds that of other places in the sect, making it an excellent place for cultivation.

After entering the secret room, he immediately set up multiple restrictions to isolate himself from all external interference.

He then sat cross-legged on the futon, slowly closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and allowed his mind to calm down completely.

A moment later, Ye Yang opened his eyes, a determined look flashing in them. With a flick of his finger, his storage ring shone brightly, and a series of treasures appeared before him.

The items include the Creation Immortal Fruit, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, the Purple Lightning Crystal Jade, the Slanting Sun Treasure Wheel, as well as Yuan Magnetic Ore, Ren Water Immortal Marrow, and many other spiritual materials.

He first picked up the Creation Immortal Fruit. The fruit was smooth and lustrous, emitting a faint fragrance and containing a vast amount of immortal energy. It was warm to the touch, and a faint life force flowed within it.

This fruit is a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth, capable of nourishing the physical body, stabilizing the primordial spirit, and enhancing magical power. Whether used to break through realms or to stabilize cultivation, it has miraculous effects.

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yang opened his mouth and swallowed the Creation Immortal Fruit.

The fruit melted in the mouth, and a warm and powerful spiritual energy instantly swept over the whole body, flowing down the throat into the dantian, and then spreading to the limbs and bones.

He quickly circulated his cultivation technique, guiding the flow of this immortal energy within his body to nourish his meridians and physical form.

In the past, when Ye Yang was cultivating, he did not absorb spiritual energy very quickly, and the purity of the spiritual energy was limited. It often took a lot of time to convert the spiritual energy into his own Dao power.

However, the immortal energy contained in this Creation Fruit is not only abundant and rich, but also extremely pure. It can be directly integrated into one's own Dao power without much transformation.

As the immortal energy continued to nourish him, Ye Yang could clearly feel subtle changes taking place in his physical body.

The meridians that were damaged in the battle are being repaired rapidly, and the strength of the body is constantly increasing. One can even vaguely feel an even more powerful force slowly awakening within the body.

At the same time, the Dao power within the dantian was also rapidly increasing, reaching the peak of the late stage of the lightning tribulation.

At this moment, it is steadily progressing towards the later stage, and the refinement of its Dao power is constantly improving, becoming more and more pure and profound.

In addition, the primordial spirit also received great nourishment.

The immortal energy of the Creation Fruit flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness through his meridians, enveloping his primordial spirit and making it more stable and refined, which had been somewhat agitated due to activating the dual sword and saber techniques.

Ye Yang was so engrossed in his cultivation that he completely forgot about the passage of time.

He guided the immortal energy of the Creation Fruit to nourish his entire body while simultaneously circulating his cultivation technique to transform it into his own Dao power.

At the same time, he took out the bottle of Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills, poured out one, and swallowed it.

The Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill melts instantly upon entering the mouth, and a cool yet mellow medicinal power spreads throughout the body in an instant.

A few days later, inside the secret room, Ye Yang was surrounded by a faint blue spiritual light.

Amidst the spiritual light, there was also a trace of golden light, a sign of the fusion of the Creation Immortal Fruit and the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill's medicinal power.

His aura was steadily increasing, slowly breaking through from the peak of the late stage of the lightning tribulation to the late stage of the lightning tribulation.

The power of Tao around him became increasingly powerful and refined, and the strength of his physical body also reached a new level.

Three days later, Ye Yang slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing in them.

The spiritual light around him gradually subsided, and his aura stabilized.

He felt the abundant and pure Dao power within his body, and the increasingly solid physical body and stable primordial spirit, a gratified smile appearing on his lips.

After several days of secluded cultivation, he had fully digested the medicinal power of the Creation Immortal Fruit and the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, and completely stabilized his own realm.

Ye Yang slowly stood up, stretched his limbs, and slightly circulated his Dao power. He felt a powerful force filling his entire body, and every move he made carried an invisible pressure.

He nodded in satisfaction, then with a flick of his finger, he took out the remaining treasures one by one and began to sort through the remaining gains from this barter event.

He divided the treasures into several categories.

One category is for cultivation, including the remaining Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, Purple Lightning Crystal Jade, and the Ren Water Immortal Marrow auctioned at this trade fair. The other category is for weapon crafting, including Yuan Magnetic Ore, Ice Soul Dao Weapon Raw Materials, Purple Flame Immortal Copper, and the Slanting Sun Treasure Wheel obtained from slaying Slanting Sun Daoist.

One type is the jade slip containing cultivation techniques, including "General Outline for Refining Natal Dao Artifacts" and "The Great Sun and Setting Sun Technique".

The last category includes the most precious Azure Abyss Lotus Seed, and tens of thousands of immortal stones obtained from the storage ring of the Slanting Sun Daoist.

Ye Yang categorized these treasures one by one, carefully put them into his storage ring, and marked them.

Among them, the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed is the most precious, containing rich life force and immortal energy, which can help cultivators break through realm bottlenecks and even repair damage.

He planned to save this precious treasure for the most crucial moment and did not intend to distribute it for the time being.

The "General Outline of Natal Artifact Refining" is the key to the Flying Heaven Sect's art of artifact refining.

Once he finishes his seclusion, he will hand it over to the sect leader, who will then select disciples with talent in weapon crafting to systematically learn the methods of refining natal Dao artifacts, thus making up for the sect's shortcomings.

After sorting through all the treasures, Ye Yang spent another day recuperating in the secret chamber, fully recovering to his peak condition. He then lifted the restrictions on the secret chamber and stepped out of the cultivation chamber.

The following day, at the main peak of Feitianmen, in the council hall.

Ye Yang sat high in the center of the hall, below him were the core figures of the sect.

"Dao Ancestor, you have finally emerged from seclusion."

Gu Xuan and Yan Qingying exchanged a glance. At this moment, they could sense that Ye Yang's aura was even more unfathomable than before his seclusion, indicating that his cultivation had greatly improved.

Ye Yang smiled and nodded, then waved his hand.

Ye Yang nodded, and with a flick of his finger, the storage bag flashed, and one treasure after another appeared on the stone table in the council hall, instantly radiating rich spiritual energy and Daoist charm.

The first items to appear were refining materials such as Yuan Magnetic Ore, Ren Water Immortal Marrow, Ice Soul Dao Artifact Raw Materials, and Purple Flame Immortal Copper.

Each of these spiritual materials was an extremely rare and top-grade material, exuding a powerful spiritual energy. Even the well-informed sect leader couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"This...this is!"

Even with Gu Xuan's composure, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the mountain of top-grade spiritual materials such as Yuan Magnetic Ore and Purple Flame Immortal Copper.

"These spiritual materials are all top-grade!"

Ye Yang smiled, said nothing, and continued to take out other treasures.

Ye Yang smiled as he looked at their shocked expressions.

"These are only part of the harvest. Elder Gu Xuan, you are to handle these materials and refine a batch of high-grade Dao artifacts for the sect as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he took out another jade slip and handed it over.

"Furthermore, this is the general outline for refining natal artifacts!"

"General Principles for Refining Natal Dao Artifacts?"

Gu Xuan took the jade slip and was greatly surprised. This method could be used by them, the primordial spirit Dao ancestors, to entrust their Dao.

After calming down the agitated Gu Xuan, Ye Yang looked at Yan Qingying.

"These are the immortal stones we brought back this time. The sect suffered a great battle a few days ago and was greatly damaged. You should put them into the sect's treasury for the sect's daily expenses and the disciples' cultivation needs."

After dealing with these matters, life seemed to return to normal.

Ye Yang spends most of his time in his quiet room studying the "Method of Fixing Immortals".

On this day, Ye Yang was immersed in the obscure runes of the "Immortal Fixing Method" when suddenly, the entire Flying Heaven Gate mountain range trembled violently!
A vast and powerful aura surged into the sky from a cave dwelling on the back mountain, stirring up the heavens. Above the sky, spiritual energy gathered wildly, forming a huge vortex, from which multicolored rays of light descended, illuminating the cave dwelling as if it were a celestial palace.

"Is someone about to break through?"

"Such a powerful aura! This pressure far surpasses the Nascent Soul Realm, could it be... could it be a sign of the Void Refinement Realm!"

Inside the Flying Heaven Sect, countless disciples and elders were alarmed and looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky, their faces filled with shock and envy.

Ye Yang immediately sensed that familiar aura. A look of joy appeared on his face, and he vanished from his spot in a flash. The next moment, he appeared outside the cave.

The owner of the cave was none other than his junior sister, Yan Qingying!

"Is it finally time for a breakthrough...?" Ye Yang stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Yan Qingying possesses exceptional talent and has remained at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm for decades, honing her foundation to an incredibly solid level. Now, with her accumulated strength finally unleashed, her breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm is a natural progression.

Ye Yang did not disturb her, but silently stood guard outside, setting up a barrier to protect her and prevent any accidents from happening.

The breakthrough process lasted for seven days and seven nights.

On the seventh day, as the spiritual energy vortex in the sky reached its peak, it suddenly poured into the cave below. Immediately afterward, an aura far more powerful, more solid, and more dynamic than before erupted from the cave!
This aura carried an extraordinary charm, as if it had already begun to touch the edge of the laws of the void.

He has reached the Refining Void Dao Realm!
"Squeak 1"

The stone gate to the cave slowly opened, and a beautiful figure stepped out.

It was Yan Qingying. At this moment, she was dressed in white, her face unchanged, but her entire demeanor had undergone a dramatic transformation.

"Senior brother."

Seeing Ye Yang standing guard outside the door, Yan Qingying quickly walked over, her eyes full of joy.

"Congratulations, Junior Sister, you have taken another step forward on the path to enlightenment."

The Flying Heaven Sect has finally produced its second cultivator at the Refinement of Emptiness Dao Realm!

Ye Yang looked at Yan Qingying, and a slight thought crossed his mind.

Yan Qingying has just broken through to the Refining Void Dao Realm, and her realm is not yet stable. If she could have the assistance of the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed, she could not only quickly stabilize her Refining Void Dao Realm, but also lay a solid foundation for breaking through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm in the future, and even accelerate the breakthrough speed.

Moreover, she currently possesses the deepest cultivation in the Flying Heaven Sect, and being a female cultivator, she complements the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed perfectly.
If this item is used to assist Yan Qingying, it would undoubtedly be the best choice.

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Yang moved his fingertips, and the storage ring flashed with light, revealing the lustrous, faintly fragrant Azure Abyss Lotus Seed in his hand.

When everyone saw the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed, a look of shock flashed in their eyes. The sect leader and Gu Xuan were even more incredulous.

"This is... Qingyuan Lotus Seed?"

Yan Qingying also looked at the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed in Ye Yang's hand with surprise. She naturally knew the value of the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed and was full of doubts, not understanding why Ye Yang would take out this treasure.

Ye Yang nodded, handed the Azure Abyss Lotus Seed to Yan Qingying, a gentle smile on his face, and said solemnly, "Junior Sister Qingying, your successful breakthrough to the Refining Void Dao Realm is a great joy. This Azure Abyss Lotus Seed contains abundant life force and immortal energy, which can help you stabilize your Refining Void Realm, nourish your primordial spirit, and lay a solid foundation for your future breakthrough to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm. Today, I present this Azure Abyss Lotus Seed to you, hoping that you can concentrate on your cultivation, break through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm as soon as possible, and support our Flying Heaven Sect."

Yan Qingying's eyes were filled with disbelief. She looked at the Qingyuan Lotus Seed in Ye Yang's hand, and then at Ye Yang's gentle eyes. A warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her eyes reddened slightly.

“Senior brother, this…this Azure Abyss Lotus Seed is too precious, I cannot accept it. Such a valuable treasure should be left to you, senior brother, to help you break through to the Mahayana Realm.”

"It's alright."

Ye Yang smiled and waved his hand, then stuffed the Qingyuan Lotus Seed into Yan Qingying's hand.

“I have now broken through to the late stage of the Thunder Tribulation, and my realm is stable. The Azure Abyss Lotus Seed is not of much use to me for the time being. As for you, you have just broken through to the Refining Void Dao Realm, and this is precisely the time when you need treasures to assist you.”

"Giving you this Azure Abyss Lotus Seed is the best way to put it to good use. You don't need to refuse. Focus on your cultivation and break through to the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm as soon as possible. That would be the best way to repay me and the sect." (End of Chapter)
