Building a sect from scratch.

This doesn't look like the Taiyi Ziwei Sect is about to collapse!

When Si Yang Xianren saw his junior brother use his magic weapon, he frowned. If he didn't know Si Yin very well, he would have thought that Si Yin deliberately let him out of seclusion so that he could find a way to kill him!
But then he realized what was happening.

For Si Yin to be forced to resort to this tactic, it must indeed be a rather troublesome situation.

The "blue ball" used by the Immortal of Yin is actually a Heavenly Rank magic treasure called the "Five Elements Universe Beads," which consists of five beads representing the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

This magical artifact has virtually no weaknesses in its offensive methods. Regardless of the cultivator's cultivation method, there is a Five Elements Bead that counters it. Each Five Elements Bead has two states: Qian and Kun. In the Kun state, it rapidly absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while in the Qian state, it transforms the absorbed spiritual energy into spiritual power of the corresponding attribute and releases it in the form of a massive wave of spiritual energy, directly and devastatingly striking the spiritual power within the cultivator's body. The immense force of this wave can also cause severe damage to the physical body.

In addition, gold beads can be used to find copper and iron, search for silver and discover gold; wood beads can bring life to all things and heal living beings; water beads can summon wind and rain and stir up waves and calm the sea; fire beads can turn thousands of miles of land into scorched earth and set fire to souls; and earth beads can split rocks and crack soil and move mountains and shake the earth!
However, these are all under ideal conditions. Just as the Ruyi Jingu Bang is the Ruyi Jingu Bang in the hands of the Monkey King, but can only serve as a stabilizing needle in the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea, the Five Elements Qiankun Pearl also has extremely strict upper limits depending on the user.

Just like now, after Si Yin Xianren used the Water Qiankun Pearl, his hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembled slightly where no one could see it, and his spiritual power surged within him. It took him a long time to calm down.

With his cultivation level, even if he needs to rest for a while after each use, he can only use it five or six times at most in a short period of time. Any more than that and his inner core will shatter.

However, these circumstances are unknown to outsiders, and the players are already in an uproar.

"How the hell do we fight this?!"

"One move and he's dead, what's there to say!"

"No way! This is impossible! We can only take down one kid with a single shot, but they can take down a whole group with one shot! How are we supposed to fight this?! You idiot game designer, how are we supposed to win?!"

Players who hadn't even realized they were in the "black room" waiting to be resurrected started passionately ranting in the group chat—

"Dog planner beep—beep—"

"I beep—the damn planner beep—"

However, Wang Ergou, who had been observing the entire battlefield, immediately shouted in the military alliance: "Quickly! Quickly, have the logistics team empty their backpacks and go to the Third Regiment in Chang'an to collect the rocket launchers and other equipment! Don't let the enemy take them! Hurry up!"

His voice cracked with anxiety, which made the other players laugh. But the players knew what was important, and many of them grabbed whatever they could find and gave it to their friends and family before flying with all their might toward the wrecked mess.

"Look, they don't seem to be coming over. I guess they never even considered trying to steal our rocket launchers, right?"

Other players joined in the discussion.

"Exactly, they wouldn't even look at us! Our big, clumsy thing couldn't even kill the BOSS. They could just flick a glass marble and wipe us all out. I wouldn't even want it if it were me!"

"What the hell is this glass bead...?"

"Is this the time to hype up rocket launchers and call Gatling guns gods?"

"Each version has its own meta. In the previous version, rocket launchers were the ultimate weapon on the battlefield. But in this version, they're just for show, like firecrackers used to scare people!"

"They said it was improved, so why is the damage still so low?!"

"The explosion effects are indeed much stronger than last time, but is it possible—and I mean possibly—that it's not that the rocket launchers are no longer effective, but rather that the enemy boss is just too strong?"

"Theoretically speaking, the Taiyi Ziwei Sect is one of the top ten sects in the Central Continent. This ranking is for the Taiyi Ziwei Sect, not the three sects of the Taiyi Sect combined! As for our Taiyin Sect... let me see, sorry, we are not ranked!"

Where did this theory come from?

"Here you go, the newly compiled ranking of the strength of sects in Central Continent!"

"Where did you get this from?!" "My neighbor gave it to me! My new neighbor, she's a disciple of the Central Continent Free and Unfettered Sect, and she works at the Dragon Mountain Research Institute. She said this list is absolutely reliable, and she compiled it based on the analysis of her senior brothers and sisters!"

"The Free and Unfettered Sect?"

"It's the Central Continent's Free and Unfettered Sect! There are more than a dozen Free and Unfettered Sects in the Ten Continents and Three Islands! Their Free and Unfettered Sect is even among the top 100 sects in the Returning Ruins ranking!"

Just as the players' conversation was getting increasingly off-topic, on the other side, within the protective array of the Taiyi Ziwei Sect, the primordial spirit avatar of Immortal Siyang was appearing.

Upon seeing this, the elders of the Ziwei Sect all breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to pay their respects, their expressions no longer as solemn as before.

"what happened?"

"Immortal Siyang asked."

An elder explained, "A few days ago, we suddenly heard rumors that the Taiyin Sect was going to attack our sect. Everyone just thought it was a joke, but we didn't expect them to actually come today!"

Immortal Siyang frowned, thinking for a long time but unable to recall the name "Taiyin Sect": "Taiyin Sect? Which continent is it from?"

"It's from Zhongzhou. It's only been built for less than half a year, but it's really hard to figure out."

Immortal Siyang was taken aback: "Half a year?"

An elder quickly said, "There are rumors that the Taiyin Goddess is behind it."

The Immortal Siyang found it increasingly strange: "The Taiyin God? Hasn't the Taiyin God not appeared for over a thousand years?"

"That's why they're so unpredictable. The disciples of the Taiyin Sect are incredibly ruthless and vicious, each one willing to trade their lives for others. Even our outer disciples can defeat them, but they're willing to sacrifice dozens of their own to capture our disciples. I just don't know why..."

At this point, the elders began to speak.

"Indeed, the Taiyin Sect is truly wretched. Its disciples are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, yet they possess numerous Earth-grade magic treasures and spiritual artifacts. One of these magic treasures is comparable to the attack of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, making it a real headache. The Grand Elder just now defended against that very magic treasure!"

"Elder Tushan was also forced back to his cave because of that magic weapon!"

The disciples of the Taiyi Ziwei Sect, who had been trembling with fear, relaxed and began whispering among themselves.

"Actually, it's not necessarily that the magic weapon is that powerful. Elder Tushan is a nine-tailed fox, and when I saw the magic weapon explode, the lightning and fire reflected each other, which was indeed quite effective against demon cultivators."

"Ultimately, it's because Elder Tushan's cultivation is insufficient. Both are at the Nascent Soul stage, yet the Grand Elder could easily withstand it and even wipe out dozens of Taiyin Sect disciples in one move!"

"Why do you think Elder Si Yin is revered as an 'immortal'? It's precisely because he's powerful!"

"But Elder Chengping ran away back then too!"

"That's because it was the first time we'd met, and we weren't on guard!"

"In short, now that Elder Siyang has come out of seclusion, I'm afraid that the Taiyin Sect and the Taiyang Sect will be wiped out in no time!"

"So, does that mean the Immortal Sacrifice Array is no longer needed?"

"It's definitely not needed!"
