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

Chapter 994: Floating Stone and Starry Sky Ship
"senior."

Ye Yang broke the silence with a low voice.

"From what I know, there is a serious boundary barrier between our world and the outside star field. The Netherworld and Yellow Spring that invaded before and the demons this time are all cultivators from outside the domain."

"Beyond the boundary wall is the nine-layer void turbulence, which is so dangerous that even a Mahayana Taoist would find it difficult to cross it."

"But now, the shadow of a dragon has appeared in the East China Sea, causing unrest in the sea area; the ice abyss in the northern border has cracked, and the coldness has swept across a thousand miles; the demonic energy in the southern wilderness has surged, covering the sky and the sun... Could it be that the barrier between heaven and earth has already loosened?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzi sighed softly and swept the whisk in his hand casually.

In an instant, a vast star map appeared in front of him. The star map was shining brightly, emitting brilliant starlight.

After a while, the light dissipated and turned into a virtual image of an ancient picture of mountains, rivers and the country.

In the picture, the spiritual vein is winding like a dragon or snake, full of vitality and mystery, but some key nodes are dim, which seems to be a sign that life is about to disappear.

"Fellow Daoist Ye doesn't know,"

Yu Qingzi spoke slowly.

"In fact, in the past three hundred years, the spiritual energy has been gradually recovering, and in recent years, the speed of this recovery has exceeded everyone's expectations."

"In many places, the spiritual veins that were originally exhausted and almost dead have miraculously revived on their own, and even gave birth to new blessed places."

He tapped his fingertips lightly, and several bright spots in the picture instantly enlarged.

"Why has the number of cultivators who have entered the realm of True Man and Taoist increased dramatically in recent years? This is one of the main reasons."

“Among these independent cultivators, some accidentally entered the ancient cultivator’s mansion and were lucky enough to inherit ancient magical powers, while others accidentally obtained rare treasures and their cultivation base skyrocketed in a short period of time.”

"What's worse, some people even found 'extraordinary things' in the wilderness..."

At this point, his tone paused slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, as if he had a premonition of a huge crisis.

"These opportunities are by no means just coincidences."

Ye Yang's eyes turned cold instantly. Hearing this, the sword and knife in his hands trembled slightly. A faint force of thunder surged around him, as if it would erupt at any time.

"You mean... could there be some external force in the starry sky interfering with this world?"

Hearing Ye Yang's doubts, Yu Qingzi nodded.

The next moment, a dull roar suddenly came from the depths of the Blackwater River.

The sound seemed to come from the underworld, shaking people's minds.

Immediately afterwards, huge turbid waves exploded on the river surface, and vaguely, a giant tail covered with scales flashed by. Wherever it passed, the air was filled with demonic energy, and it was eerie and terrifying. It was a giant black snakehead, although its cultivation was not very high.

However, being able to cultivate to such a level with just mortal flesh and blood is already a rare thing.

The two looked at each other.

"It seems that our efforts to clear the evil spirits and re-evolve the world have paid off. Many spiritual creatures have emerged from the Blackwater River."

Yu Qingzi smiled slightly, and the next moment he waved his sleeves. Thirty-six talismans flew out into the air like golden streams of light, and turned into golden chains in the air, instantly calming the surging river surface.

"Although the demonic atmosphere here is heavy, no great demon has been bred yet. It is suitable for training disciples."

He looked at Ye Yang, his eyes gleaming, "Why don't we join forces and turn this place into a trial ground? First, we can eliminate the monsters and stabilize the peace; second,..."

His eyes were firm. "Let our disciples experience the dangers of this 'new world' so that they can better cope with unknown challenges in the future."

Ye Yang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his long sword came out of its sheath half an inch with a clang. Purple lightning swirled around the blade of the Evil King, making his eyebrows look like frost.

"What the senior said is exactly what I want."

The next moment, Ye Yang raised his hand and waved it. Twelve swift sword beams fell from the sky like meteors, forming a killing formation on the banks of the Black Water River.

In an instant, the sword light appeared, with terrifying power.

At this moment, the smell of blood mixed with stench filled the riverside.

Ye Yang put the Evil King Sword into the scabbard, and the sound of metal collision was crisp and cold.

His gaze swept across the demon corpses scattered all over the ground, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of thought flashed in his eyes.

"Although these demons have been killed, the evil energy at the bottom of the Blackwater River has not yet dissipated."

Ye Yang muttered to himself, his fingertips lightly stroking the blade. The Evil King Sword seemed to have a spirit, trembling slightly, as if responding to his thoughts.

He thought to himself.

"After the Evil King Sword absorbed the evil energy just now, its power has obviously become stronger. Perhaps there are some unknown secrets hidden at the bottom of the river."

Yu Qingzi seemed to have thought of something at this moment. His eyes lit up, and he swung his whisk vigorously, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Ye is absolutely right. This place was once the home of the ancient demons. After countless years, there must be treasures hidden at the bottom of the river. Why don't you and I join forces to explore? We may find a great opportunity."

Ye Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an expectant smile.

"Right on my mind."

Without any further hesitation, the two of them jumped into the Black Water River.

The river water was deep and cold, like a huge black python, wrapping them tightly.

Strands of demonic energy wrapped around their bodies, like greedy evil spirits, wanting to devour them.

Ye Yang circulated the protective Qi, and countless evil spirits lingered on the Evil King's Sword. Wherever it went, all the evil spirits that approached were swallowed up.

Yu Qingzi sacrificed a water-repellent bead, which shone with light and split a path in the water, pointing straight to the bottom of the river.

The deeper you dive, the denser the demonic energy at the bottom of the Blackwater River becomes, almost making it hard to breathe.

On the riverbed, the ruined buildings of the demon clan were looming, and there were piles of bones piled up like mountains, exuding a sinister aura.

After the two continued to sneak for a while, suddenly, a huge black palace appeared in front of them. It was as black as ink, as if it was moved from the Nine Netherworld.

The palace was wrapped in layers of restrictions, emitting a frightening pressure, as if warning outsiders not to approach easily. "This is it, there is indeed something fishy."

Seeing this, Ye Yang suddenly drew his sword, and the Evil King Sword slashed across the sky. Countless sword beams surged out like mad dragons, and with the momentum of destroying the world, he slashed towards the restriction.

Yu Qingzi did not hesitate either. He waved his whisk and several golden talismans shot out, hitting the restriction together with the sword light!
"boom--!"

A huge explosion sounded, the black restriction was shattered, the palace door burst open, and a long-forgotten smell of decay rushed to the face, making people feel nauseous.

Seeing this, Ye Yang sheathed his sword. The Evil King Sword whistled, and the hilt of the sword rubbed against his palm, making a crackling sound.

He lowered his eyes to look at the scene behind the ban and couldn't help but be stunned.

Because when the Evil King's Sword turned around and madly devoured the evil energy just now, the vibration from the sword was still shaking slightly in his palm.

"The evil spirit has not dissipated, but has become even heavier."

Ye Yang suddenly raised his hand, and the blade suddenly made a humming sound like a dragon's roar.

"This knife is longing for a deeper power."

Yu Qingzi swept his whisk lightly, and the water-repellent beads in the palm of his hand emitted a soft blue light, shattering all the evil spirits that were entangled with him.

Just after the ban was broken, the demon palace slowly emerged from the water in an instant.

The palace door was engraved with twisted magic patterns, and sticky black blood oozed between the runes.

When the two stepped in, they saw that the space inside the attic was extremely large, with a high dome that seemed to reach straight into the sky.

The walls are engraved with ancient magic patterns, exuding a mysterious and dangerous aura.

In the center, a crystal clear floating stone is quietly suspended, surrounded by stars, like a galaxy, so beautiful that it takes your breath away.

Seeing the scene before him, even though Ye Yang was used to seeing rare treasures, his breath held in his throat.

Tens of thousands of floating stones were suspended in the void, the smallest of which was the size of a fist, while the largest was as motionless as a house.

These crystal clear stones emit a light blue halo, like upside-down galaxies in the dark space.

"this"

Ye Yang's Adam's apple rolled and his fingertips trembled slightly.

It was a great opportunity for an ordinary cultivator to obtain a floating stone the size of a fingernail, but there were such a large number of them here.

If all of these were refined, it would be more than enough to support the entire sect, not to mention making the mountains float.

He reached out and touched the nearest piece, and the floating stone immediately felt warm to the touch, and there seemed to be a nebula flowing inside.

What is even more shocking is that these floating stones are of extremely high purity and contain almost no impurities, making them excellent materials for refining flying boat magic weapons.

Looking around, Ye Yang discovered that other treasures were equally astonishing.

On the left side, there is a mountain of "Xuan Yin Cold Iron", each piece of which is glowing with a cold blue light. It is the top material for refining ice magic weapons.

Hundreds of "Red Sun Fire Essences" were suspended on the right side, and their blazing heat burned the surrounding air and distorted it.

Crystal clear "void crystals" are scattered in the corners, which can enhance the spatial properties of magic weapons.

The most eye-catching thing is the row of jade boxes placed on the central stone platform, which contain the legendary "star sand".

But what made Ye Yang's heart beat faster was the star map projected above the dome.

When he used all his eyesight to look, the entire star field suddenly came alive.

Countless stars began to circulate and reorganize, eventually condensing into the shadow of a giant ship that blocked out the sky and the sun.

"This is the construction diagram of the ancient spaceship!"
-
The ship is densely covered with tens of thousands of formation nodes, forming a complete defense system

Ye Yang's Evil King Sword suddenly vibrated violently, and the purple patterns on the sword flickered wildly, as if responding to something.

He followed his sensation and looked at the deepest part of the star map, where he could vaguely see a completely black spine.

The Evil King's Sword suddenly emitted an ear-piercing buzzing sound, and the purple patterns on the blade twisted wildly like a living python. The handle of the sword was so hot in Ye Yang's palm that it almost burned his flesh.

He looked in the direction of the vibration of the blade, and his pupils instantly shrank into needles.

At the deepest part of the star map, the pitch-black spine was floating in the void, with dark purple light flowing in the gaps between the joints, like a dormant ancient demon.

At this moment, Ye Yang suddenly felt a cold tremor in his arms.

He subconsciously tore open his clothes, and the finger bone of the devil that he got from the ancient cave of the underworld was floating in the air without him knowing when.

The magic patterns on the surface of the knuckles are exactly the same as the patterns on the spine in the distance.

It was glowing with the same eerie light.

"This is……"

Ye Yang's Adam's apple rolled, and there was a tremor in his voice that he himself didn't even notice.

According to his speculation, this finger bone came from the body of a demon and was a rare magical weapon in the world.

At this moment, after appearing, it flew towards the spine eagerly as if it had found a lost compatriot.

The moment the finger bones touched the spine, the entire space shook violently, and the star map on the dome suddenly twisted, turning into countless black runes that fell down.

A desolate and tyrannical aura spread from the intersection of the demon bones, and a picture suddenly exploded in Ye Yang's sea of ​​consciousness.

On the battlefield with a blood moon hanging high in the sky, a figure in a black robe sat upright.

Behind him were countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood, among them were humans, beasts, demons, monsters, and even indescribable terrifying existences. Wherever he passed, mountains and rivers collapsed.

The monk in front of him was crushed into powder like an ant.

The devastating pressure, even though it was just an illusion, made Ye Yang break out in a cold sweat.
