Building a sect from scratch.

Immortal Siyang asked again, "Pinglin Peak? Where is True Man Pinglin? Was he also sent back to his cave?"

"This……"

The elders were speechless for a moment. Just as one of them was about to explain, they saw that the Yin Immortal and Baili Shuang were fighting. They were evenly matched and it was hard to tell who was winning!
For a moment, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the two figures on the horizon.

First, Baili Shuang summoned over a hundred flying swords formed from spiritual energy, which stood behind her. Then, she formed a fighting seal with her hands, and the flying swords rushed towards the Yin Immortal.

This is the "Great Flying Sword Technique" that Fang Xianyu developed during his first playthrough due to his chuunibyou (delusional) tendencies. It is known for its gorgeous special effects and grand scale.

Although its attack power is really average, it is very good at creating momentum. For example, right now, the players are all excited when they see this scene!
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! This is what cultivation is all about!"

"Senior Sister, I want to learn this!"

"Quick! Take a screenshot! Record the screen! This is so cool!"

"This is what a sword immortal should be like! Waaaaaah!"

"Wait, isn't Senior Sister a pill refiner? I remember she was a herbalist."

"Is it not allowed for people to pursue double degrees?"

"Well, it's not impossible..."

Meanwhile, the cultivators from the Taiyi Ziwei Sect were also shocked by Baili Shuang's move. They didn't dare to discuss and marvel like the players, but only whispered and exchanged glances, though their expressions were rather unpleasant.

The disciples with higher cultivation levels worried that the Taiyin Sect was not a benevolent force and would be difficult to deal with. The disciples with lower cultivation levels, on the other hand, were unsettled by the constantly looping announcement.

Many disciples have already taken the opportunity to secretly verify with each other whether the formation they just set up is the legendary Immortal Sacrifice Formation. And is the Immortal Sacrifice Formation really as the Taiyin Sect claimed, requiring all their disciples with lower cultivation levels to go and die?

The players from the Taiyin Sect were still excitedly finding angles to record their screens. In the world chat, a player who was watching suggested, "When you guys record the screens, remember to use background music when you post it online. The background music these days is just too funny. It makes me feel like I'm watching a Hollywood gunfight over a 'recycling old refrigerators and TVs' broadcast."

Choosing to use this method as the first step was also to test the Yin Immortal.

As expected, unlike the clueless bystanders, the Yin Immortal in the midst of it all saw through the bluff. He scoffed disdainfully, raised his hand, and his sleeve suddenly widened. Then, he swept the incoming flying swords into his sleeve with a flick of his sleeve, collecting them all. A few seconds later, he released his sleeve, and a roaring thunder dragon flew out from it, twisting its body as it sped towards Baili Shuang.

The players exclaimed in unison, "It's here! Is this the legendary 'Hidden Universe in the Sleeve'?! That's awesome! Senior Sister, I want to learn this!"

"Wake up! That's the other side's magic, not Senior Sister's!"

"It's okay! Senior Sister is so amazing, she'll definitely know how too! Anyway, I want to learn!"

In the brief pause between the player's few words of banter, the Thunder Dragon had already pounced on Baili Shuang.

Baili Shuang waved her arm, drawing a large circle in front of her, creating a wall of fire. Then, a bird's head emerged from the fire wall, followed by its body and long tail, resembling a phoenix or a pheasant.

As soon as the fire phoenix flew out of the wall of fire, it began to fight the thunder dragon that was right in front of it. It pecked and scratched, and beat the thunder dragon until it was covered in lightning. In just a few moments, the thunder dragon shrank a size!

However, the Fire Phoenix didn't fare much better. Most of its long tail was torn off by the Thunder Dragon's claws, and its body was no longer as majestic as when it first appeared.

The players collectively enjoyed the "blockbuster" video, some even sipping their milk tea and pointing at it.

"This dragon is a bit ugly and has no horns; it's more like a jiao (a type of dragon-like creature) at best!"

"That phoenix wasn't all that great, its tail was so short, it looked like a pheasant!" "How do you know that was a dragon and a phoenix?"

"Are you stupid?! Dragons and phoenixes are standard equipment in cultivation! I've never seen a cultivation story that doesn't feature these two!"

"Even if not, there must be something like the Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, or White Tiger!"

"And what about Kun, Peng, and the nine-tailed fox? They're all overdone! Tsk tsk tsk! There's no originality at all!"

"Exactly! Have you seen the promotional material for 'Ten Continents'? All that stuff about Penglai, carefree life, and the ethereal realm—it's so tacky! Utterly tacky! Absolutely vulgar!"

"If you think it's tacky, then don't play it!"

"Hey, so you're protecting her now? What's wrong, can't stand hearing unpleasant words? You're a bitch from the Ten Continents?"

"What's this? You're so ruthless you even insult yourself?"

"Get lost! I'm a normal player!"

Some viewers, while recording their screen, exclaimed in amazement, "These special effects are incredible! Is this really a game I can play for free?!"

"What else can you do? Why donate some money to the dog-themed planner?"

"Let's just buy it, then release a new version, let everyone reach max level and become Golden Immortals on the spot, and experience the ultimate thrill!"

"Then why don't you go play a game where you can hit 999 with one strike!"

……

While the players were exchanging witty remarks, Si Yin Xianren and Baili Shuang were also busy. While Lei Long and Huo Feng were locked in combat, the two of them exchanged several spells.

You unleash a misty spray that obscures the sky, I'll unleash a sandstorm that shatters your face. True fire burns away the bronze bell, and thunderbolts cleave the mountain rocks pressing down on your head.

In less than half an hour, the two exchanged more than a dozen spells, and finally the Thunder Dragon and the Fire Phoenix decided the winner. The Thunder Dragon roared as the Fire Phoenix stomped on its neck with a claw, causing it to fall to the ground like a worm. Its long body twisted desperately, but it was helpless.

The phoenix's wings were also torn off, and its tail was bald, looking like a plucked pheasant, which was rather ridiculous.

Not long after, the Thunder Dragon roared in resentment, its entire body transforming into a wisp of spiritual energy that exploded with a bang and vanished in all directions. Then, the Fire Phoenix also collapsed to the ground, burning a large patch of grass before disappearing as well.

The ground where they struggled was a scene of utter devastation, marked by fire and lightning, a chaotic and terrifying sight.

After fighting for half a day, neither Si Yin Xianren nor Baili Shuang could gain the upper hand. Si Yin Xianren then flicked his sleeves and turned back into the protective mountain formation. Baili Shuang also slowly landed on the Chang'an flying boat in Chang'an Sheyi, seemingly indicating that the battle was truly evenly matched.

However, the Yin Immortal, upon returning to the protective array, was not as relaxed as he appeared. Others might not have noticed, but the Yang Immortal knew perfectly well. As soon as he saw Yin land, he handed him a bottle of pills.

Without asking any further questions, the Immortal Si Yin casually poured the pill into his mouth, letting it guide the spiritual energy within his body to circulate for a while. Only after his somewhat unstable primordial spirit had solidified a bit did he catch his breath.

"So? What level of skill did the person you fought possess?"

"Immortal Siyang asked," he replied. (End of Chapter)
