Building a sect from scratch.

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere on the players' side, the Ziwei Sect's protective formation was so quiet that even the chirping of birds and cicadas could not be clearly heard. The Yin Immortal subconsciously released his pressure, and several outer disciples with low cultivation levels even trembled and fell to the ground, their faces pale with panic.

"Elder, Elder," amidst the silence, even the lowest-ranking elder, unable to withstand the pressure from the Yin Immortal, spoke up tremblingly, "Elder Tushan should not have perished. I saw her fly towards her cave..."

"I know."

Si Yin Xianren took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and felt that everything that had happened in the past two days was somewhat incomprehensible.

An obscure little sect, established less than a year ago, actually dared to come to their doom, claiming they would fight one of the top sects in the Central Continent—although it was just a branch, it was still a sect with a history of thousands of years, a sect that worshipped the Supreme God Taiyi!
They didn't even "claim" anything; they didn't even bother to make an excuse, they just went straight to the door!

Are these cultivators, whose cultivation levels are no different from those of ordinary ants, truly unafraid of the wrath of the Supreme God Taiyi?

What's even more hateful is that these ants actually have the ability to contend with a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!
How is this possible! ?

"Prepare the grand sacrificial array."

He heard himself say calmly.

"Elder—"

The elders standing nearby looked over in shock. One elder wanted to say something, but the Immortal Si Yin, with a cold face, looked at the relaxed Taiyin Sect disciples in the distance and raised his hand without turning his head to stop the elder from speaking.

Seeing that there was no way to defy the situation, everyone had no choice but to reply, "We will obey the Elder's order."

The Sacrifice to Immortals Formation is a killing formation that the Taiyi Sect reconstructed and researched from the ruins of an ancient god before it split. It is named "Sacrifice to Immortals" because it can kill even Golden Immortals who have already attained immortality when activated.

Of course, since this killing formation is called "Sacrifice" to the Immortals, it must have an object of sacrifice.

The only ones that can be worshipped with "immortals" are "heaven and earth".

Indeed, the essence of the Immortal Sacrifice Array is to sacrifice the flesh, blood, and soul of the beings within the array to heaven and earth.

This killing formation is extremely vicious, leaving no trace even for the soul. Therefore, the Taiyi Sect rarely used it, both before and after its split. The few times it was used were when targeting the Nine Nether Demons. However, the reason it wasn't used was not only because the killing formation was too ruthless and left no room for retreat, but also because the price it would pay was extraordinary.

To kill an immortal, at least three Nascent Soul stage cultivators are needed as the array's cores; in other words, these three Nascent Soul stage cultivators will also be sacrificed.

Furthermore, this cost is replaceable. For example, three Nascent Soul stage cultivators can be replaced with dozens of Core Formation stage cultivators, or even hundreds of Golden Core stage cultivators, and so on. Of course, this isn't a currency exchange; there's no fixed ratio. The exact number of cultivators required to sacrifice depends on the state of the formation.

As for who will sacrifice themselves in this kind of killing formation... is that even a question? The outer disciples of various sects, besides doing hard labor to serve the inner disciples, elders, and stewards on a daily basis, are preparing for such moments!
Therefore, when the Yin Immortal spoke, the first to feel fear were actually the outer disciples of the Taiyi Ziwei Sect who knew what the "Immortal Sacrifice Array" was.

The activation of the Immortal Sacrifice Array takes time. Just as the elders and disciples of the Ziwei Sect were busy, a "magic weapon" that had just sent the Tushan Elder back to his cave was whistling as it flew toward the mountain-protecting array.

A white beam of light streaked across the sky, the surrounding flames seemingly more dazzling than the sun on the horizon. Then, with a deafening roar, the Taiyi Ziwei Sect's protective array successfully intercepted the "magical treasure" outside. Thick smoke rose into the air, fire and lightning intertwined within it, the sheer force of which was astonishing.

The Immortal Si Yin looked at the unknown "magical treasure" that was blocked by the mountain-protecting formation, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, he remained unmoved on the surface and flicked his sleeve: "Hmph! Overestimating yourself!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than two more identical "magical treasures" hurtled towards them. Two deafening explosions rang out almost simultaneously from the horizon. Because these two "magical treasures" flew so close together, the impact was even greater than before. The Yin Immortal even vaguely saw that the protective mountain array that had withstood the explosion of the "magical treasures" trembled slightly and developed a few cracks!
Although the cracks were quickly repaired by the abundant spiritual energy circulating within the formation, and no trace of damage could be seen anymore, those cracks also appeared in the mind of the Yin Immortal. For the first time ever, he felt panic. He didn't even know if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to sense a spiritual warning that hadn't appeared for thousands of years!

If the Taiyin Sect had hundreds or thousands of "magic weapons" comparable to those of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, then the Taiyi Ziwei Sect's protective formation would be completely unable to stop the onslaught of those mad dogs!
He might die!
The Immortal Si Yin clenched his fist, his nails almost digging into the flesh of his palm. He immediately created a nascent soul clone and rushed to the main hall where the Supreme God Taiyi was worshipped!
The Taiyi Ziwei Sect actually worships a great many deities, including the main Taiyi Supreme God and dozens of others. However, strictly speaking, the others are worshipped only to exaggerate their own power; in short, it's all about saving face. If something really happens, they won't bother with it—because when they worship them, they only offer a few sticks of incense and are very stingy with sacrifices, afraid of taking away from the Taiyi Supreme God and a few other immortals with ulterior motives.

However, the Immortal Siyin came here not for the Supreme God Taiyi, nor for the immortals and gods who were concerned with each other's face, but for his senior brother, Immortal Siyang!

Immortal Siyang was once a renowned genius cultivator within the Ten Continents and Three Islands. Most of those who rose to fame around the same time as him had already become immortals. His failure to become an immortal wasn't due to a lack of cultivation; on the contrary, Immortal Siyang's cultivation was extremely high. However, having committed many wicked deeds, he sensed that if he didn't take some measures to avoid the heavenly tribulation that would accompany his ascension to immortality, he feared he would perish. Therefore, he had been using various magical treasures and spiritual artifacts to suppress his cultivation, hoping to find a better way to face the heavenly tribulation.

It is precisely for this reason that Immortal Siyang has not shown his face for over a hundred years. Once he leaves the small world he opened for himself, tribulation clouds will gather above his head. If he uses any spells or practices any techniques, all the magical treasures that suppress his cultivation will probably be of little use.

However, at this point, the Taiyi Ziwei Sect was facing a life-or-death crisis, so why would they care about suppressing cultivation levels? When the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. If the Taiyi Ziwei Sect fell, neither of the two brothers, Si Yin and Si Yang, would benefit!

"Senior brother! Something terrible has happened! Come out of seclusion immediately! The Taiyi Ziwei Sect is in grave danger!" (End of this chapter)
