Building a sect from scratch.

"Director Wang, does the higher-ups also say that no action will be taken?"

[Retired farmer] After finally stepping out of the game pod, the first thing he did was call Aunt Wang.

Even if the price is losing this opportunity forever?

"This is not a problem that you or I need to consider."

"That's too conservative! At least do something!"

"Already doing it."

"already?"

"That's Professor Wang's task from Group Three."

"..."

The retired farmer paused for a moment, then replied, "I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he paced anxiously back and forth on the ground, agonizing for a full two minutes before finally giving in and dialing Wang Qiqing's number again.

Unfortunately, the call didn't go through.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the game pod and logged into the game. Sure enough, he saw that Wang Qiqing's avatar was still in color in his friends list, which meant that he was online.

"Director Wang said that your group three has a special mission? What's the level of secrecy? Can you tell us?"

"The level of secrecy isn't high. It's actually quite simple. We've been consulting with many cultivators from the Guixu Realm these past few days, studying the earth veins and formations, and we've come up with a way to 'patch up' the earth veins. This way, we can stop Gu Gu Dao Ren from extracting energy from the earth veins to some extent."

After Wang Qiqing finished explaining in a few words, he stopped looking at the private messages.

Because he was busy introducing this new thing to Fang Xianyu—the Spirit Locking Array.

"Based on the law that spiritual energy exists constantly in the form of a spiritual field under the natural state of the Guixu Realm, we have discovered that we can regard 'earth veins' as a constantly flowing, high-concentration 'spiritual field'. Because this spiritual field is far higher than the concentration of spiritual energy in nature, it exhibits a certain degree of exclusivity, just like the seabed rivers that exhibit independent states due to different densities."

"The method by which Daoist Gugu extracts the power of the spiritual veins is a very crude and direct extraction—like using a straw to suck water from an underwater river."

"However, since most people cannot use high concentrations of spiritual energy normally, just like cultivators can only slowly absorb the spiritual power in spirit stones and cannot swallow it directly, we also speculate that Daoist Gu Gu also uses a similar conversion method to convert high concentrations of spiritual energy into spiritual power and then use it to heal himself... Logically speaking, this is not difficult. Even Elder Huang in our sect can do it, but his efficiency is not as exaggerated."

"The principle of the 'Spirit Locking Array' is to add a 'filter' to his straw to filter out the high concentration of spiritual energy. In effect, it's like the 'straw' is blocked, which prevents him from converting energy and thus achieves the purpose of stopping him."

"Of course, this is only in the theoretical stage. We'll have to test it to see how effective it is."

Several days ago, Fang Xianyu had briefly explained to the China Planting Family project team what Gu Gu Daoren had been doing. In addition to respecting his partners, he also genuinely had the idea that "in case China Planting Family has a solution."

After all, it's best not to use system energy points if possible.

But she really didn't expect that in just a few days, the Chinese side would actually have results and plans!
This really surprised her!
However, Fang Xianyu still nodded slightly with great composure and said, "Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we can consider how to improve it."

With Fang Xianyu's approval, Wang Qiqing immediately pulled together Lü Wenyuan, Hu Zijun, and other cultivators for a long discussion.

Then, they took flight and scattered in all directions. Each cultivator from the Guixu Realm was accompanied by a player—in addition to the three groups of their own, they also borrowed a group of "colleagues" from the second group to help them, so that they could communicate with each other when setting up the formation later.

Only Wang Qiqing remained where he was, dutifully explaining to Fang Xianyu, "Sect Master, our 'Spirit Locking Array' is a bit troublesome because it controls the entire Central Continent. Therefore, each of us needs to find several key points on the Central Continent's earth veins to set up array eyes. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while until they're all in place and have set up the array eyes before activating the array at the same time."

Fang Xianyu nodded reservedly again, without saying a word.

Gu Gu Dao Ren's "Law of Heaven and Earth" had been sustained for a week. If it weren't for the energy supply from the earth's veins, he would have long since succumbed to such a massive drain on spiritual energy. Therefore, if Fang Xian Yu could truly restrain Gu Gu Dao Ren from absorbing the earth's veins, he was confident that he could give Gu Gu Dao Ren a sound beating at the lowest possible cost, rendering him unable to control the Sun and Moon.

Soon, the Spirit-Locking Array activated as expected, with even better results than anticipated.

Almost at the same time the great formation was activated, Gu Gu Dao Ren's Dharma Heaven and Earth Formation began to shrink visibly!
"Gu Gu Daoist! Your cause is lost! Surrender now!"

Fang Xianyu shouted.

The sound echoed, startling the Qiankun Sect disciples who were still locked in fierce combat, and they all looked towards Daoist Gu Gu.

The immortals and gods who were still fighting had long since disappeared to who-knows-where. Only the Qiankun Sect was still locked in a stalemate with the Taiyin Sect disciples led by the "Retired Old Farmer." However, it was mostly all bark and no bite. Apart from a very few elders and managers, everyone else was just putting on a show.

The battlefield gradually came to a halt, and the originally enormous body of Gu Gu Dao Ren gradually shrank to a point where people could see him completely—previously, everyone could only see his calves, and above that, the clouds obscured his view.

The most panicked was the already somewhat exhausted Immortal Wende.

No matter how high his cultivation level was, he had not yet become a god. In addition, he had not slept for seven days in order to kill the disciples of the Taiyin Sect, so he was exhausted both physically and mentally.

Originally, he was only holding on by the ancient ancestor Gu Gu's Law of Heaven and Earth - an existence that could shake the sun and moon was something even immortals and gods had never heard of!

With the abilities of the Ancient Ancestor Gu Gu, and the assistance of gods such as the God of Penglai, how could he possibly fail?
In truth, the combined strength of the Taiyi Qiankun Sect and the Penglai Sect is enough to dominate the Ten Continents and Three Islands!

He subconsciously ignored those strange and unfavorable details, such as why the Water Dragon King also interfered, and why the Star Gods turned against the Qiankun Sect—in order to promote the Qiankun Sect's momentum and establish its position in the Ten Continents and Three Islands, the Qiankun Sect had offered up official positions to every single Star God!
In the entire world, besides the Penglai Sect, only the Taiyi Qiankun Sect has this kind of strength!

Even the Misty Immortal Sect couldn't do that!
"Look! It seems that the Ancestor's Law of Heaven and Earth is really shrinking!"

"Actually, I've wanted to ask this for a long time: why did our ancestor destroy the sun and the moon?"

"Wasn't it said that it was some kind of formation controlled by extraterrestrial demons over our ten continents and three islands?"

"Is it a magic weapon?"

"But that's only the Ancestor's side of the story. Look at all those immortals and gods trying to stop him..."

"Do you think it might be the ancestor..."

"How is that possible! Our ancestor was definitely from the Central Continent! His deeds are all recorded and traceable!"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean he was a demon from outer space. I mean, is it possible that our ancestor was deceived by someone?"

"With the cultivation level of our ancestor, how could he be deceived?"

"Then how do you explain that we're surrounded by enemies now?"

"Moreover, even the Supreme God Taiyi has abandoned the Qiankun Sect, so could it be that... the Ancestor is actually the one..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"But didn't our Qiankun Sect originate from the Taiyi Sect, and wasn't the Taiyi Sect founded by the Supreme God Taiyi? Aren't the cultivation techniques we're learning now all compiled by the Supreme God Taiyi?"

"This……"

"Actually, the Ancestor wasn't wrong. Judging from what he said, it seems that it's because our entire world is trapped... The Ancestor just wanted freedom..."
