Chapter 31 Steel Dragon Wood (Second update, to be released later)
The second elder began a long speech. Ye Yang saw the disciple next to him being hit on the head by a pancake. He looked towards the stage with a fiery face, his eyes full of longing for the future.

He knew that his expression was not right, so he quickly changed it to one of admiration and pursuit and blended in with the crowd.

The second elder spoke for three quarters of an hour, one quarter of an hour less than the first elder. After he finished speaking, he immediately shouted: "Now, I declare the beginning of the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony."

As soon as he finished speaking, bursts of huge and complex sounds rang out in the hall, as if someone was chanting in a low voice, deep and mysterious, and with the curling green smoke in the house, there was suddenly a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.

Two strong men brought in a large, ancient tripod engraved with a gilded Taotie pattern. Smoke rose from the tripod. Mountains and rivers were decorated on the pillars, and birds and beasts were carved on the ears, as well as scenes of ancient people's sacrifices.

Two strong men carried in a piece of black hardwood that was as thick as an adult's arm and three feet long. It was similar to fine iron and exuded a metallic luster.

The tree body is like a Chi dragon, winding and vigorous. The bark is cracked and black, just like the scales of a Chi dragon. Even the leaves are as deep black as ink jade.

This is a kind of strange wood called Steel Dragon Wood. It is hard and heavy. It often grows deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains of Yalongling. It takes a hundred years for it to be as thick as chopsticks, and a thousand years for it to be as big as a fist. Those that are over three thousand years old are as hard as steel and incredibly heavy. They are extremely rare and can be made into the main material for magical instruments.

This piece of wood seems to be only as thick and long as an adult's arm, but it weighs several thousand kilograms, otherwise it would not be carried by two strong men.

The great elder Mo Niansheng took the piece of steel dragon wood with one hand and threw it into the cauldron. The cauldron immediately burned with a clear blue flame, as pure as the color of the sky.

All the disciples in the hall were very serious. They intensified their practice of Qi and released spiritual energy, not wanting to waste this excellent and precious wood.

Ye Yang was also very serious. He said nothing and prepared silently.

Afterwards, two strong men carried a huge green gecko, whose skin exuded a warm luster like jade.

It was the green gecko from the Five Poison Sect that was killed by Jian Jin Gang in Shaoyang Cave. After death, the gecko was well preserved. Instead of rotting, after special treatment, it was shining and sparkling with blue light.

Next to the Green Gecko was a skinny head with white hair and beard. It was the Gecko Envoy, one of the Five Poison Envoys of the Five Poison Sect.

The head of a warrior in the late stage is extremely intelligent. It contains the most precious spiritual blood of the warrior and is extremely rare and precious.

The Feitian Sect is neither righteous nor evil. It has both Taoist and magical skills. It does not hold itself to worldly standards and only focuses on maximizing the use of resources.

Mo Niansheng stood in front of the tripod with a solemn expression. In addition to these three most precious main ingredients, he also took out one ancient and precious medicine after another.

There were also purple three-foot-long centipedes, blue toads, silver pangolins, etc. These centipedes, toads, pangolins, etc. were smashed with a hammer and thrown into the big cauldron.

Suddenly, colorful and gorgeous neon air wafted out of the cauldron. The pure blue flame that was originally burning in the cauldron also gradually became colorful, and a sweet frankincense scent emanated.

Legend has it that in ancient times, this smell was the closest to the smell of God. Countless tribal leaders and nobles of kingdoms paid huge prices to get a taste of it but were unable to do so.

Colorful smoke floated out from the cauldron, and the whole hall suddenly became gorgeous and charming, with flowing smoke and colorful rainbow light, just like the fairyland.

"Prepare to sit cross-legged and practice your skills!" shouted the great elder.

When the two hundred or so disciples in the hall heard the great elder's loud shout, they immediately entered into a state of meditation and entered an extremely mysterious realm.

Ye Yang closed his eyes and let the colorful smoke go in and out of his seven orifices. He felt sleepy all over, his eyes were hazy, and he seemed to be falling asleep.

"No! The opportunity to awaken my true destiny is precious. I must persist no matter what."

Ye Yang's brain was dizzy. At the critical moment, he bit the tip of his tongue forcefully. He felt a sharp pain and a trace of blood slid from the corner of his mouth.

The severe pain cleared his mind.

He tried his best to circulate the Qi. Many people, even if they participated in the heaven sacrifice ceremony, might not be able to open their destiny, so he was particularly attentive and forced himself to stay awake. …

"The precious materials used in this Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony are all rare items. I think the number and quality of disciples awakening their true natures this time should be much better than in previous years."

In the main hall, Mo Niansheng said seriously.

"Of course. Apart from anything else, the heads of Steel Dragon Wood and Mandu alone are far superior to those of previous years."

The second elder laughed loudly, as if he had a grudge against the Five Poison Sect.

When he was young, he suffered a great loss at the hands of Wandu, the gecko master of the Five Poison Sect. Now, seeing that his enemy was dead and his head turned into a sacrifice, he felt extremely pleased.

"Then let's see how much potential these little guys have."

"It won't be worse than us."

The second elder laughed loudly, and a group of Vajra and Dharma protectors behind him also laughed.

"If one of these disciples could make it onto the Hidden Dragon Ranking, then we would have no regrets."

The Great Elder Mo Niansheng looked a little serious.

The Rentaxian of the Dayun Dynasty swept across the world and unified more than a hundred vassal states. He used people to trample on immortals, cut down mountains, destroyed temples, and attacked sects.

The Lietian Sword Sect, the Taixu Taoist Sect, and the contemporary innate sect of the Wangsheng Zen Temple joined forces to destroy the mountains and rivers. However, they were still unable to win the battle and were instead forced back by Ren Taxian into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains of Yalong Ridge, where the turmoil continued for a long time.

The hundreds of temples in the Western Regions were suspected to have been attacked by the Shatuo and Shura tribes. Nowadays, many lamas, living Buddhas, Dharma kings, and wise men advocate moving to the East and establishing a new base.

Unfortunately, great disasters struck the eastern land, and the old Yangzhou and several surrounding prefectures. First, there was no rain for three years, leaving thousands of miles of barren land. Then, floods and locust plagues swept across the land. Children were sold, and the people fled in all directions, and their lives were in misery.

How long can the peace in Yalongling last?
He was old after all, even old enough to die.

The future is destined not to belong to them.

It is hard to say whether Feitianmen will still exist in the major changes in the future.

……

On the other side, Ye Yang finally had some realization. Colorful smoke came out of his mouth and nose, rising like mist and transforming into the shadow of a huge, ferocious beast.

……

Selling children and daughters: This means that one is helpless and forced to sell his or her children. From Officialdom Unmasked.

The recommended reading rate of this book has always been too low, so after communicating with the editor and receiving submissions from readers, the title was changed.

The title of the book has been changed from "My Perseverance in the World of Immortal Cultivation" to "The Rise of the Sect: I am the Most Perseverant Cub in the World of Immortal Cultivation". I hope everyone is aware of this.

If a strange book suddenly appears on your bookshelf, don't be surprised.
