Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 2 Interdimensional Internet
Time and space reverse, heaven and earth rewind.

In an abandoned village outside Taiping Town in Zhongzhou, where Fang Xianyu had just transmigrated not long ago, she looked at the points tally after her body exploded and she only had a few hundred points left. She clutched her chest and was filled with regret: she should have wiped out those hypocritical immortal cultivators when she was proving the Dao of Taiyin!
As a transmigrator, Fang Xianyu also has a cheat code—the ancient treasure "Map of Mountains and Rivers", which is coveted by all cultivators and immortals of the Ten Continents and Three Islands.

Well... she actually made up the name on the spot, and even the painting that was actually made up was something she made up on the spot for convenience.

In fact, Fang Xianyu prefers to call it the "Heavenly Dao Belief System" or the "Incense and Merit System." Because after more than a hundred years of exploration, she discovered that the system's energy is roughly the existence of "merit" or "faith and incense."

For example, in her previous playthrough, because she single-handedly built the Central Continent City that sheltered countless lives, the energy data within the system was converted into points, which surged to over ten thousand.

Keep in mind that when she first figured out the system, the energy she could mobilize, when converted into data integration points, was only a single digit!

Even when she was being hunted down to the point of desperation, she still had more than 120,000 units of energy accumulated from over a hundred years of faith, incense offerings, and merits.

This is an extremely frightening concept.

The power contained in the points converted by the system is extremely strong. Just one or two points can instantly transform a mortal body into a cultivator, and even creating things out of thin air is no problem. Hundreds of points can move mountains and fill seas, or instantly kill a Golden Core cultivator! Tens of thousands of points can even create living beings and contend with true immortals.

Beyond 100,000, to Fang Xianyu, all those below the Golden Immortal level are mere ants! He can even evolve the world and rewind time!
This energy is so powerful that it's similar to the power of the Heavenly Dao. In fact, it could be said that as long as there's enough energy, Fang Xianyu can do whatever he wants.

In the previous playthrough, Fang Xianyu spent millions of energy points to transform the mountains and rivers of Zhongzhou in order to create a uniquely blessed city, and also nurtured all the creatures of Zhongzhou.

pity……

Starting a second playthrough, her first step is to improve her own strength before even considering revenge.

Thanks to the previous "save" system, Fang Xianyu remembered all the various skills and techniques he had painstakingly practiced for many years. Now all he had to do was "level up" again.

Without hesitation, Fang Xianyu immediately left the dilapidated temple and sat down under a tree to meditate.

Although she lost all her cultivation, she would not lose the knowledge she had learned.

Of the many beginner cultivation techniques she was familiar with in her previous "cycle," the one most suitable for her current situation is the "Supreme Mysterious Yin Qi Guiding Technique."

This is an extremely exquisite top-level introductory cultivation technique, mainly helping cultivators to quickly sense and draw in Qi. If the right time and location are found, and cultivation is combined with Taiyin essence, one can also temper the body at the fastest speed and enter the Qi Refining stage!

Fang Xianyu, from a mortal body to drawing qi into his body and even condensing a fake elixir, actually only spent half an afternoon.

If the old guys from those major sects saw Fang Xianyu's cultivation speed, they would probably be dumbfounded and call him a genius.

Having learned her lesson, Fang Xianyu no longer intended to mold the system into something as childish as a landscape map. Instead, she simply shaped it into a mass of "data" stored in her consciousness, using it in a simpler and more intuitive way.

For example, Fang Xianyu can now generate his own status panel:
Name: Fang Xianyu

[Level: Qi Refining Stage]

Race: Unknown

[Taoist Method: None]

[Points (Energy): 233] [Followers: None]

[Power: None]

[Collection of cultivation techniques: "The Supreme Mysterious Yin Qi Guiding Technique", "The Primordial Treatise on the Four Seasons of Zi and Wu"...]

The endless "nothing" and the mocking "233" made Fang Xianyu clutch her chest in regret. Fortunately, the hundreds of cultivation techniques she had collected soothed her emotions a little. After all, with so many cultivation techniques in her memory, including those with the methods of cultivation thoroughly memorized, she could build a first-class sect!

and many more……

Establish a sect!?
Fang Xianyu suddenly straightened up, a thought flashing through her mind.

Although she cannot leave this world, she can still establish an interdimensional portal, even though no one can use it—the souls of people in the cultivation world are locked here and cannot be used, and the souls of people in the Blue Star world are imprisoned on the other side of Blue Star and cannot be used either.

but!

What if we don't establish a real channel, but instead link consciousness from Earth through a signal-like connection?
If it's not necessary to let the soul enter the channel, but only to connect with consciousness, then does that mean we can ignore the firewall... cough cough, ignore the laws that restrict the world?
Fang Xianyu pondered, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed!

Moreover, this non-physical energy transmission channel does not require much energy; it only requires a dozen or so points of energy to connect and is very stable.

The only downside is that it requires a constant supply of energy to maintain the channel. If the energy linked is small, with only a few dozen consciousnesses, it won't consume any energy in a month. If it links to a thousand consciousnesses, then it will consume a little every day. If it links to hundreds of thousands or even millions of consciousnesses... well, perhaps only Fang Xianyu, after single-handedly establishing Zhongzhou City in the last playthrough, could afford to maintain it.

Even those "containers" linked to consciousness can be molded into physical puppets using the system's energy. The energy consumed by these consumables, which she used to possess and explore in the previous game, is negligible.

However, this puppet, which she once treated as a consumable, is no ordinary thing. Its greatest strength lies in the fact that as the time it is possessed and used increases, it can gradually become the true physical body of the creature possessing it, nourished by spiritual energy and divine consciousness.

At that time, a little more energy can be used to directly elevate the player to the Qi Refining or even Foundation Establishment stage, and the rest will depend on the player's own cultivation.

Because if you rely on energy infusion, the energy consumption to advance to Qi Refining is less than one point, and the energy consumption to Foundation Establishment is only a single digit, but the higher Core Formation requires at least dozens of points - Fang Xianyu is unwilling to invest so much in the leeks that should be rewarding him.

Based on this calculation, after she summons players, it won't be long before she becomes a "master" with at least a Foundation Establishment level disciple.

Unfortunately, it requires a lot of energy... However, after the second playthrough, Fang Xianyu no longer needs to rely on the system's energy to cultivate, which saves a lot of resources!

For Xianyu, improving her cultivation level is now merely a matter of time; all the obstacles that should trouble cultivators on the path of cultivation are nonexistent. Because her understanding and comprehension of realms far surpasses her current level, even heavenly tribulations won't occur when she advances in realms.

Summoning players to become disciples offers great potential.

Most importantly, the consciousness linked from Blue Star was completely under her control.

Never betray!
So, wouldn't that mean we'd have "disciples" who would establish a new sect and never betray us?

Thinking of the once beautiful Zhongzhou City, Fang Xianyu's heart ached faintly—those greedy, hyena-like beasts hadn't even spared the mortals of Zhongzhou City, simply because they worshipped Fang Xianyu's statue. In order to sever her incense offerings, a group of "righteous" immortal cultivators didn't hesitate to turn the prosperous Zhongzhou City into a living hell.

She was determined to kill those beasts—no, to kill them countless times! To repeatedly whip their corpses! To console the countless people she had harmed in her previous life!
If she doesn't avenge this, her Dao heart will be damaged!
