Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 524: Dharma, Heaven and Earth
"presumptuous--"

The deafening roar seemed to come from all directions, shaking Wei Mao's very soul.

The power of a Golden Immortal was beyond what a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like him could withstand.

Before he could finish, Wei Mao stumbled to his feet. As soon as he stood still, he heard the voice of the old patriarch Gu Gu: "Are you the beast raised by that brat Wen De? What brings you to disturb this old man?"

Wei Mao lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions within, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Reporting to the Ancestor, a new sect called Taiyin Sect has appeared in Zhongzhou. It seems to be a sect protected by the God of Taiyin. Today, they actually attacked Qiankun Mountain. In addition, the Supreme God Taiyi is enraged for some unknown reason. The statue in the main hall has been shattered, and he even used heavenly lightning to strike the Qiankun Sect's protective mountain formation..."

"Insolence! Insolence! Insolence!"

The old ancestor Gu cursed three times in a row, but it was unclear who he was cursing.

But soon, he suddenly burst into laughter, his voice unrestrained and manic: "Finally! Finally, this day has come!"

Then, a flash of white light appeared at the entrance to the small world, and a middle-aged man who didn't look very old, dressed in brocade robes, suddenly appeared.

"Good! Excellent! That thing has finally been separated from my Qiankun Sect!"

The old ancestor narrowed his eyes, his sinister gaze sweeping over Wei Mao before looking at the mountain-protecting array in the sky, which was constantly flashing under attack, but his expression was not worried.

He continued, "Today, my Taiyi Qiankun Sect can finally be renamed Qiankun Sect! I have waited far too long for this day! Humph!"

With a cold snort, he flew towards the main hall in a flash, completely ignoring Wei Mao, who stood silently to the side, full of doubts.

"Wen De!"

As soon as the ancient ancestor Gu Gu landed, he called out to the immortal Wen De, who was pacing anxiously in circles.

Wende Immortal was startled upon hearing this, turned his head and widened his eyes. When he saw that it was indeed the sect leader, Gu Gu, his face immediately showed a look of panic and shock. But then, for some reason, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandmaster Uncle!" Immortal Wende bowed and said urgently, "Grandmaster Uncle, this High God..."

"What god!"

The old patriarch Gu Gu's expression was cold, and his voice, imbued with spiritual power, reverberated throughout the entire Qiankun Mountain: "The so-called Supreme God Taiyi is actually a demon from beyond the heavens! They use the name of immortals and gods to gather cultivators from the ten continents and three islands to worship them in order to obtain the divine power of their offerings! Now, after enduring hundreds of years of hardship, I have finally waited for the opportunity for them to break away from the Qiankun Sect!"

These remarks left not only the disciples of the Taiyi Qiankun Sect speechless, but even Immortal Wende was stunned into silence.

Meanwhile, the old patriarch Gu Gu continued to shout: "Disciples of the Qiankun Sect, listen to my command—today is not only the day of the Qiankun Sect's survival, but also the day of the survival of the Ten Continents and Three Islands, and the day of the survival of the Guixu Realm! The demons from beyond the heavens have enslaved our Guixu Realm for tens of thousands of years! They have arbitrarily severed the method of ascending to immortality and blocked the path to godhood! Today, the hatred for enslaving the countless lives of our Guixu Realm must be avenged!"

The voice of the Ancient Ancestor Gu was imbued with spiritual power, resounding through the sky. Even the players outside the mountain-protecting formation could hear it clearly. In an instant, the continuous rocket attacks from the players stopped abruptly, and the world channel and legion channel erupted in chaos.

This plot is wrong!

Aren't NPCs villains?!

Aren't the players supposed to be righteous?!
How did it suddenly turn into some kind of extraterrestrial demon, enslaving the natives?!

Moreover, strictly speaking, it seems that the players really do come from outer space?
Even the so-called fourth catastrophe... calling it a demon doesn't seem unfair?

But the storyline of this game is so frustrating!

Who plays the villain in an MMORPG?!
Not only were the players bewildered, but Fang Xianyu was also confused by the Ancient Ancestor's words. It wasn't that she was admitting to being an extraterrestrial demon—strictly speaking, all of humanity in the world was created by Nuwa, and their origins and backgrounds could be considered as descendants of foreign colonists; the extraterrestrial demons should be humanity itself.

But the problem is...

"This old scoundrel sounds like he knows the inside story!?"

Completely bewildered, Fang Xianyu quickly pressed Yin Quan, a disciple of the Taiyi Yiji Sect who was accompanying him as an advisor, for details.

Yin Quan was also somewhat bewildered. He stroked his beard and said, "This matter is quite strange. With Gu Gu Dao Ren's cultivation, he is not much different from the Penglai God. However, I don't know why he has been stuck in his current state. In fact, several hundred years ago, he was plagued by lightning tribulations and looked very anxious. But for some reason, he is now completely free of lightning tribulations. Moreover, because he has maintained close ties with the Qiankun Sect for many years, after Taiyi left the Qiankun Sect, he actually seems to have the potential to become a god! How strange! How bizarre!"

While the two were talking, the situation on the Gugu Ancestor's side changed a bit again.

Then, the body of the Ancient Ancestor of Valley Ancient flashed with white light and gradually grew larger, taking on a semi-transparent appearance, and the world around it changed color.

Before long, his body grew to be thousands of feet long. This body had already broken through the protective formation of the Taiyi Qiankun Sect. His waist and above had grown into the clouds and could not be seen. However, because he was so huge, his chest and above looked like a "celestial body" embedded in the air. Compared to him, the sun looked like an egg yolk.

His enormous sleeves, like swaying mountains, fanned out gusts of wind, and his boots alone were taller than the highest palace.

Looking at this exaggerated scene before him, Fang Xianyu murmured, "The law of heaven and earth..."

"Following the laws of heaven and earth" is a magical technique that only ancient gods possessed. It is said that when the world was still barren, the ancient gods fought using the law of heaven and earth, which caused mountains to collapse, the seas to overturn, and all living beings to suffer.

This kind of supernatural power has been lost long ago with the disappearance of the ancient gods. Even the most active and highly skilled immortals and gods in the Ten Continents and Three Islands today do not know it.

How did the ancient ancestor Gu Gu learn that?!

And if he's this strong, is he going to fail in this limited-time battle?!
I didn't hear that he had this skill last week!

The more tense and critical the situation became, the more Fang Xianyu couldn't help but complain: "This old bastard... are you sure he's not one of your alliance members? Or an investor?"

Yin Quan shook his head, then frowned: "I'm sure it's not him, and what exactly does he want to do?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the old ancestor of the Gu family stretched out his hands, which grew longer and longer, with one of them pointing straight toward the sun in the sky!

Players initially thought it was part of the game's storyline and watched with great interest, while also constantly making sarcastic comments: "What is this NPC trying to do? Try to pluck the sun from the sky? Does he think he's some kind of legendary archer like Kuafu or Houyi?"

"That's completely unrelated, isn't it? And how could he possibly pluck the sun from the sky? The Chronicles of the Ten Continents can't be that outrageous, can it? Even if it's to make the logic of the cultivation world work, it's impossible for the sun and moon to be decorations hanging in the sky, not celestial bodies, right?"

"What if the game designer's education level is too low?"

"It should be the producer! And even if they have a low level of education, they should know it's impossible! It just doesn't make sense!"

Fang Xianyu, who had been repeatedly hurt by the players, stared intently at the Ancient Ancestor Gu, observing his behavior.

His left hand indeed got closer and closer to the sun, and farther and farther away from the land of Guixu. It looked smaller and smaller, gradually becoming smaller than the sun, but also gradually getting closer to the sun.

Now, even Fang Xianyu found it unbelievable: "He wouldn't really want to pluck the sun down from the sky, would he?"

Yin Quan immediately replied dismissively, "How could that be! Although the sun and moon are artificial functional celestial bodies specially designed by Nuwa, let alone Nuwa, even our pioneering team would have to expend a great deal of effort and use a huge amount of energy to destroy these two artificial functional celestial bodies!"
