Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 100 Limited-Time Battlefield
Before long, the sky darkened completely, to the point where you could hardly see your hand in front of your face—this was not because it was nighttime, but because large patches of black clouds had completely obscured the entire Guangcheng Sect's territory.

"Hmph, let's see how long your mountain-protecting formation can last!"

As the spirit banner fluttered, a chilling wind howled and a ghostly aura filled the air. One by one, figures equivalent to cultivators at the Qi Refining stage leaped out of the banner, including corpses and various evil spirits.

These corpses and evil spirits had no independent consciousness; they charged at the protective mountain formation purely on instinct, crashing into it again and again, scratching and biting. Even if their bodies dissipated and their souls vanished, the corpses or evil spirits behind them would immediately push forward, repeating similar actions.

Countless yin corpses and evil spirits were constantly emerging from the banner. At a glance, in just a minute or two, hundreds of figures had already appeared!

“This can’t go on,” Elder Hu pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth, “Send the order down to the disciples to prepare and form a battle formation to meet the enemy!”

"Wait!"

Fang Xianyu suddenly spoke up: "Don't make pointless sacrifices, this spirit banner is not easy to deal with!"

Elder Du said anxiously, "But if this continues, the mountain-protecting formation won't last much longer!"

"Leave it to me!"

As Fang Xianyu spoke, he continuously took out various spiritual materials from his Qiankun bag and placed them on the spot. He then affixed spiritual talismans and quickly activated the spiritual energy. A temporary teleportation array was set up in just a few minutes!
Just as Elder Hu and the others were shocked by Fang Xianyu's skillful and experienced array formation, Fang Xianyu had already posted a large, bold gold announcement on the "Cross-Border Network," complete with a very loud sound effect.

"Ding--"

[Congratulations to player [Backstabber Palace Giant] for completing the pre-battlefield quest [The Provocation of the Misty Immortal Sect], triggering the limited-time battlefield quest [Protect the Guangcheng Sect]. This limited-time battlefield quest has no level restriction. Players are encouraged to head to the battlefield as soon as possible to participate in the battle and win generous rewards!]

The limited-time battlefield mission "Protect Guangcheng Sect" is now open. During the mission, a teleportation array will be available to teleport players to Guangcheng Sect. Players participating in the mission will receive the "Favor of the Goddess of the Moon" effect bonus. Battleground kills will grant a large amount of Prestige and a chance to obtain rare items such as Heavenly-Rank Spiritual Weapons and Heavenly-Rank Equipment. Players are encouraged to participate! ("Favor of the Goddess of the Moon": Reduces resurrection cooldown by 99%)

Meanwhile, the player [Backstabber Palace Giant] stared blankly at the floating gold announcement, then at the half-finished MG-42 and 107 parts in his hand, and asked with even greater confusion, "What did I do?"

"They're taking the blame, it must be an emergency! Let's not worry about it, just follow the orders from above!"

The "colleague" standing nearby said unsurprised, casually sticking the newly drawn youth version of the ice-condensing talisman on the inner wall of the cannon barrel and recording the modification data.

……

The first to pass through the teleportation array were Jade Emperor and Wu Ke, who happened to be dividing their loot near the sect's main hall. As soon as they heard about the timed battlefield, they immediately packed up the loot they had accumulated from several dungeons, threw it into their Qiankun bags, then into their system backpacks, and without even dividing the loot, they turned around and rushed towards the teleportation array.

"Fuck!"

As soon as they stepped out of the teleportation array, they were greeted by a group of dark, unidentified objects crashing into their faces. The visual impact was enough to make anyone lose control of their bladder. The Jade Emperor and Wu Ke simply let out their familiar, nationalistic curses of shock, already considered mature... cough, players.

Soon, shouts of "Holy crap!" filled the air as players began to emerge from the teleportation array at a rate comparable to the spirit banners outside the mountain-protecting array.

Then, under the shocked gazes of Elder Hu and the others, a group of Taiyin Sect disciples (players) excitedly shouted and rushed out of the mountain-protecting formation. Even Elder Du only managed to say "Hey" twice, but unfortunately no player paid any attention to him.

"At least put on some clothes!"

Amidst the incredulous voice of a disciple of the Guangcheng Sect, a group of players skillfully stripped down to only their underwear and bras, uttering all sorts of bizarre shouts as they rushed out of the mountain-protecting formation.

"For the tribe!"

"For the sect leader!"

"May your noble spirit live on forever!"

"Hao Ge Nai Zi! Feel free and carefree!" "Fu Si - Luo Da!"

……

"Sect Master Fang, your disciples..."

Elder Hu's expression was somewhat complicated, and he didn't know how to say what he was about to say.

Although Fang Xianyu had anticipated that the players would have some extraordinary talent in being inhuman, he still did not expect this scenario.

Well, while I can understand their fear of losing the equipment they worked so hard to acquire, this scene still made Fang Xianyu, the leader of the players, feel extremely embarrassed.

"Haha, only when you free yourself from physical constraints can you unleash your purest innate power..."

Before Fang Xianyu could finish his attempt to save face, the first group of people who rushed out were instantly killed, and all sorts of shouts came incessantly, as if they were not fighting to the death on a battlefield, but playing a lighthearted game!

"Quickly call Dog Bro to take command! Where is he?!"

"He said he's on his way, but he's too far away to get here anytime soon!"

"Master Fu has killed several monsters! Protect Master Fu! Quickly protect Master Fu! Holy crap, Master Fu is rich and powerful, he even went in wearing all purple gear!"

"Where's the healer?! Heal me!"

"How am I supposed to recover my health bar if you perform a disappearing health bar trick on my face?!"

"Thunder Talismans have appeared! Divine Thunder Talismans! Five Elements Divine Thunder Talismans! Ten talismans for one spirit stone, no bargaining!"

"Why don't you go and grab it!"

"I'm robbing you! I'm even giving you ten Five Elements Divine Thunder Talismans! Aren't you going to thank me?"

"Should I thank you?"

……

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting out of control, Fang Xianyu simply gave up and said, "Anyway, our sect cultivates using puppet bodies. Our real bodies won't die. We'll get used to dying a few times. There's no need to care about them!"

Elder Du watched as one player after another was surrounded and killed by numerous evil spirits and corpses, and felt a pang of pity: "This..."

"Elder Du, please rest assured, the puppets inhabited by my disciples also have their own secret methods to revive."

An elder asked doubtfully, "In that case, wouldn't this kind of cultivation method, which is fearless of life and death, be unparalleled in the world?"

Fang Xianyu said, “That’s not quite right. I suppose you all cultivate in order to attain immortality, while our sect’s cultivation certainly has its benefits, but it does not grant immortality. Our lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people.”

The elder exclaimed in shock, "Unable to achieve immortality? What kind of immortality are they cultivating?!"

Fang Xianyu's expression was righteous and awe-inspiring, but he made up a lie: "The many disciples of my sect do not cultivate immortality, but the Dao, the glorious Great Dao of universal harmony!"
