Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 521 Preparations Before the Event
"That's it!"

Wende Immortal flicked his sleeve and instructed Wei Mao, "Xuanhu, go with this disciple and ask them what their plan is, and see what Rongyu Mountain has to say... If they come to pay a visit, have them send a visiting card first before discussing anything else!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Chang Jin secretly rolled her eyes, then suddenly tugged at Wen De Immortal's sleeve and said in a coquettish voice, "Master! Senior Brother is like a block of wood, how could he possibly inquire about information! Besides, they are just a small sect, why would they need you to send your eldest disciple? Do they really think they are someone important? It would be better if I, a junior disciple who has just entered the sect, went instead, so as to save Senior Brother from having to work hard!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Wende thought for a moment and realized that sending Wei Mao was indeed giving the other party too much credit. In the past, when small sects like this came to visit, unless there was something important, they would be received and dismissed by the sect's stewards. However, the Taiyin Sect was involved with the Ziwei Sect from back then, which gave him some ideas—if the Qiankun Sect were to "merge" with the Ziwei Sect under his leadership, wouldn't that be a great achievement? Once the sect leader truly attained godhood, wouldn't he be the surest successor as sect leader?
Chang Jin smiled brightly, as if she was truly considering her master and senior brother's interests. Although Wende Immortal knew that Chang Jin was planning to take advantage of the situation to get some benefits, he was happy to turn a blind eye because what she said made sense. He immediately nodded and said, "Alright, then you can go with your senior brother!"

"Yes!"

Chang Jin readily agreed, then turned and greeted the disciple who had brought the message with a smile: "Please lead the way, Senior Brother!"

The disciple returned the greeting with trepidation and hurriedly said, "I dare not accept the title of senior brother from the fairy. Please come with me!"

……

On the other hand, with the limited-time battlefield event approaching, players who knew almost nothing about the Taiyi Qiankun Sect were gathering their legions and making all sorts of preparations, and were also AFK farming together—they had created eight third-party chat groups!
This event came at a time when players were in a lull. Looking back, the Du Guang Kingdom map had already been released, and the most dedicated players had already explored it, so the novelty had worn off considerably. Looking ahead, although the [Endless Ruins] dungeon was a long-term raid, its high entry requirements meant that most low-level and low-cultivation players were basically just easy targets, which prevented it from attracting many players.

Therefore, this limited-time battlefield, which seemed to have started hastily, was actually just in time, and almost all players who had time to log in were happy to come and join in.

In the team channel of the second guild of the [Heroic Spirit Endures], some players were excitedly chattering away: "Guild Leader! How about we fire a shot to test the waters? There's no rule that we have to wait for the event to start before we can fight, right?"

Ren Huadao, who was temporarily appointed as the leader of the second regiment, shouted anxiously in the regiment's microphone: "Don't do it! Don't do it! If we get warned and locked up, or even if it affects our regiment or community's ability to receive rewards, it will be a loss!"

The player was utterly disappointed: "Oh well..."

Seeing that everyone looked unwilling, Renxin Huadao, fearing that some players might be tempted to use their weapons, tried to persuade them: "Besides, those cannonballs are so expensive! These are the latest version of rare treasures, each one costs over a hundred! Even if our community is rich, we can't let you just throw them around like that!"

One hundred virtual gold coins in the game are equivalent to several thousand, which is indeed a bit exaggerated in the game. Only the [Eternal Righteousness] community can make unified purchases and distribute some to each guild because it is too rich. Other communities simply don't have this kind of condition!

Even compared to the much more relaxed Chang'an community, the [Eternal Righteousness] community, [Dragon Mountain] community, and [Cuckoo Chicken] community are among the few communities that give players "military funds" every month, which is why everyone is scrambling to join these communities.

The so-called "military expenses" refer to the money earned by the game's community due to its successful operation. This money is then converted into RMB through third-party exchanges and distributed to community players according to a set ratio. In games like [Eternal Righteousness], core high-level players can receive tens of thousands of RMB per month! That's more than many people's real-world salaries!
Even the [Gugu Chicken] community, which is less profitable than [Haoqi Changcun] and [Longshan], can still give its members thousands of dollars!
In comparison, the Chang'an Society, which only gives out a few hundred yuan a month, seems stingy... However, there are always trade-offs. Although the "military allowance" from the Chang'an Society is relatively small, it doesn't require its members to be as "attendant" to the game as [Longshan], or even to schedule shifts and train. They are required to participate in every game activity, which is impossible for many busy players in real life—in-game income is unstable, and who knows if these games will even exist tomorrow? Most people will definitely rely on their real-life income.

Meanwhile, Wang Ergou was also actively discussing tactics with the team members in the newly created third-party group chat.

"Don't rush in yet. I'm giving you inside information: the NPCs in this limited-time battlefield are no joke, they're incredibly powerful! Whoever rushes in first will die the fastest!"
"Moreover, there is no buff to reduce the resurrection cooldown this time. If you die, you have to wait a long time. If you die before you can even accumulate enough points, it's such a waste!"
"So we'll focus on ranged attacks for now. All the formation cultivators in each team should have their 'eggshells' ready, right? Activate the 'eggshells' first! Avoid the big boss and just bombard the mobs for damage! Points will still be awarded, just try not to die!"
"Also, Dog Bro has a secret weapon! It's best to wait until our secret weapon is deployed before charging! Understand?"

The group members were very accommodating, responding one after another, "Yes, yes! We'll take care of our good brothers!"

"Got it, got it! Don't worry, Dog Bro! I'm super clever!"

Of course, witty remarks are never absent: "How clever is he? He knows how to use a mobile phone and a computer, and he even knows to run home when it rains?"

"Speaking of big, well..."

"Hey! No more randomly applying formulas! Drag him out and give him a yellow card!"

……

Wang Ergou gave such instructions because he had received inside information.

During the preparation for the limited-time battlefield event, Fang Xianyu received a "little note" from Taiyi. This was because Fang Xianyu, under the banner of Taiyi Tianji Sect merging into Taiyin Sect, temporarily offered a position to the god Taiyi and held an offering event that was used as an Easter egg, which is how he contacted Taiyi.

This guy, who was terrified of investment failure, was extremely enthusiastic. He specifically told Fang Xianyu that because the Tianji Sect was acting as an "anchor," he could barely protect himself. Therefore, before the battle began, he was willing to risk significant damage to destroy the shrines and incense statues within the Qiankun Sect.

Literally, it means that he blew up all the items related to him that were enshrined in the Taiyi Qiankun Sect, and then struck a few bolts of lightning in their main hall as a symbolic gesture, mainly to create an aura, since he couldn't do any damage when his vital energy was severely depleted.

The intention was to publicly declare a break with the Taiyi Qiankun Sect.

This is a very important signal. It can not only weaken the strength of many cultivators in the Qiankun Sect, but also throw their minds into chaos. And if the Taiyin Sect still has the intact Taiyi Shangshen tablet or statue when it attacks the Qiankun Sect, that would be even better!
For this reason, Fang Xianyu specially made a huge statue of the Supreme God Taiyi and gave it to Wang Ergou, telling him to wait for the right moment to reveal it when the event started, so as to shatter the Dao hearts of the cultivators of the Qiankun Sect!
