Building a sect from scratch.

Well, looking at the group of laughing and joking players, Fang Xianyu felt a little embarrassed, but also found them quite adorable.

Si Yang Xianren's words had no effect, which made him somewhat puzzled.

Everyone has selfish desires; how could they be so indifferent to being forced to their deaths? Are these strange cultivators even human?!

The players fearlessly charged into the mountain-protecting formation, and as the number of them increased, the entire mountain emitted a soaring white light.

Si Yang and Si Yin retreated several feet and led many of their trusted disciples to stand at the Life Gate position—the only position in the entire Immortal Sacrifice Formation unaffected by the formation, and also the key to breaking the formation, so this place had to be guarded.

but……

The Taiyin Sect disciples seemed to have no intention of breaking the formation at all. They rushed into the formation with howls and then started running around like headless flies. Most of them even started picking flowers and pulling weeds, and some even climbed up trees!

This is simply unbelievable!
No one expected that the players, whom Si Yang and Si Yin couldn't understand, were taking advantage of the "plot kill" to dig up spiritual herbs and plants everywhere!
"Holy crap, this place is so rich! Um! That flower is so expensive, I sold it to an NPC for two silver last time!"

"Two silver coins are nothing! Hey, hey, hey! I had my eye on this Heavenly Origin Grass first! Are you even being reasonable?!"

"Are you being unreasonable! Whoever grabs it first gets to keep it! You say it's yours, but call it and see if it answers!"

"There are so many spiritual herbs and plants here, why did you have to fight me for this one?! Tell me, are you secretly in love with me?!"

"Eat your fart!"

……

This behavior of grabbing a bunch of worthless spiritual herbs and plants even on the verge of death made the disciples of the Ziwei Sect question the meaning of life.

However, soon everyone had no time to think too much, because in the huge white light, both the players and the disciples of the Ziwei Sect gradually changed their appearance.

His hair and beard gradually turned white, his skin became wrinkled, his eyes became cloudy, and his body grew thinner and thinner.

In just a few minutes, everyone had grown old.

Not long after, everyone collapsed to the ground and died of old age within the sacrificial array.

The so-called "sacrifice" in the Sacrifice to Immortals Array does not refer to sacrificing flesh and blood, but rather to sacrificing life itself.

Seeing this, Si Yang and Si Yin's faces lit up with joy—so many Taiyin Sect disciples had been dealt with so easily; they were secretly delighted. They exchanged a glance, and Si Yang said, "Call the other disciples over. It's time to end this farce!"

There were only a little over a thousand disciples guarding the mountain-protecting formation, most of whom were outer disciples. They were just a drop in the ocean within the Taiyi Ziwei Sect. Even just Siyin Immortal's own Siyin Peak had more than that number of people!

Hearing Si Yang's words, Immortal Si Yin also sneered, "That Fang Xianyu probably thinks that my Ziwei Sect only has this many people left, how laughable!" After speaking, he used his finger as a brush and formed a talisman in mid-air. The fiery cinnabar pattern shimmered with golden light, gradually grew larger, and then transformed into specks of starlight, scattering throughout the entire Rongyu Mountain.

"I humbly request that all eight thousand disciples, both internal and external, under the tutelage of the Supreme God Ziwei, heed my command! Your supernatural powers are unfathomable, your might boundless! Your fame resounds throughout the eight directions, and your name echoes across the nine heavens! Respond to my urgent summons and come forth at once!"

The voice of the Yin Immortal was not loud, but it reverberated like ripples on water for hundreds of miles. It not only encompassed Rongyu Mountain, which was covered by the mountain-protecting formation, but also the villages and towns within a hundred miles. Everyone could clearly hear the voice.

"I humbly request that all eight thousand disciples, both inner and outer, under the tutelage of the Supreme God Ziwei, heed my command! Your supernatural powers are unfathomable, your might boundless! Your fame resounds throughout the eight directions, your name echoes across the nine heavens! Respond to my urgent summons and come forth at once—"

"I humbly request that all eight thousand disciples, both inner and outer, under the tutelage of the Supreme God Ziwei, heed my command! Your supernatural powers are unfathomable, your might boundless! Your fame resounds throughout the eight directions, and your name echoes across the nine heavens! Heed my urgent summons and come forth at once..."

The sound seemed to echo through the valley, reverberating and rippling as it drifted into the distance.

At the same time, disciples from all the peaks, caves, and valleys within Rongyu Mountain responded to the call and came. In no time, tens of thousands of cultivators gathered outside the Immortal Sacrifice Array and not far from Si Yang and Si Yin!

Most of these cultivators were at the Foundation Establishment stage, followed by the Qi Refining stage, and then the Golden Core stage. The Nascent Soul stage was only a handful, but even so, there were still dozens or even hundreds!
Only when a sect with a history spanning thousands of years does its true strength finally reveal itself!

On the distant flying boat, Kui Congrong watched the scene with some worry and couldn't help but ask Jiao Xueling, "With such a display, I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Taiyin God for help, won't we?"

Before Jiao Xueling could speak, Lü Wenyuan interrupted, confidently saying, "That's hard to say! Uncle-Master, don't be fooled by the Ziwei Sect's large numbers; they're not enough for many rocket launchers! To be precise, as the Taiyin Sect disciples said, war isn't like a village brawl where numbers matter. Even with tens of thousands of cultivators, unless they're at the Golden Core stage or even the Nascent Soul stage, a hundred thousand cultivators wouldn't be a waste of weapons! The only troublesome ones are the Siyang Immortal and the Siyin Immortal, and even those hundred or so Nascent Soul disciples are somewhat difficult to deal with… Rocket launchers aren't easy to kill them, and in close combat, the Taiyin Sect disciples' skills wouldn't last a moment! However…"

Chaoyan added, "But we have the sect leader and Baili Shuang! It'll be fine! And they're not all that bad! At least many of them are very ambitious, running dungeons and fighting the Nine Nether Demons every day. Last time, my colleague even complained to me that the queue time for [Cold Pool Cave] was too long, and he didn't even want to play it anymore!"

Lu Wenyuan muttered somewhat sourly, "If I were immortal, I'd want to play dungeons every day for fun!"

Asagao rolled her eyes: "Come on! You're so afraid of pain, you'd scream like you're going to die if I lit a fire for you!"

"That's not the same! The disciples of the Taiyin Sect are all puppets! They can adjust their pain levels! Of course they're not afraid! If I could block out pain, I wouldn't be afraid either! Humph!"

As they talked, their conversation veered off course, interspersed with incomprehensible terms like "data," "attributes," and "dominant husband" and "bottom dominant husband," leaving Wei Congrong completely bewildered.

However, the two's nonchalant attitude did reassure her. Jiao Xueling comforted her, "Don't worry, the Taiyin Sect is backed by the newly born Taiyin God! The Taiyi God doesn't dare to make a move, so the Taiyin God probably isn't afraid. That's why Sect Master Fang is so confident!"

Kui Congrong could only nod: "I hope so."

However, Fang Xianyu, whom everyone was speculating about, was actually looking at the system's energy points balance with a heavy heart, calculating how much it would take to completely wipe out the Ziwei Sect in the worst-case scenario.

As for the Taiyin God that Wei Congrong and Jiao Xueling speculated about...

Hmm... Fang Xianyu, who deliberately boasted of being the Taiyin God, hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage yet. If it weren't for his ultimate understanding of the Five Elements of magic and his substantial system energy points as a foundation, he probably wouldn't have been able to compete with him long ago!
