This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Chapter 248 The Senior Group Taiyao Division and the High-Level Group Taiye City, Assemble!
While Jiang Liu was battling it out in the limited-time pool, other regions were also preparing for their own battles.

Zone 1.

As the largest national power in the entire cultivation era, the Taiyao Clan had already moved its sect headquarters from the Great World Mainland to the Central Continent when the first Nascent Soul cultivator appeared.

The world of the Celestial Empire is divided into five states, each occupied by a different region. The central state, known as Zhongzhou, is accessible only to players at the Nascent Soul stage.

Currently, there are 25 Nascent Soul players in the Taiyao Division, including 17 in the main Taiyao Division of Server 1 and 8 in the Taiyao Branch Division of Server 2, accounting for one-third of all Nascent Soul players in the server!

The Nascent Soul players from the Taiyao tribe, who were originally separated by a state in the game, have now reunited in the Central State of the Great World.

Zhongzhou.

In a remote, desolate valley, twenty-five Nascent Soul stage experts gathered.

The twenty-five people each stood in a corner of the valley, looking at each other, bewildered, and fell into an eerie silence.

"So that's why our Taiyao tribe's base is such a terrible place!"

After a long silence, someone couldn't help but speak up, pointing at the dilapidated valley with a dark face, and loudly complaining, "We are a national-level power!"

"We are a major sect with twenty-five Nascent Soul cultivators!"

"We've gathered elites from both districts!"

"Why, why is our base in Zhongzhou so terrible?!"

Located on the very edge of Zhongzhou, this small valley, with an area of ​​only 1,000 square meters, extremely low concentration of spiritual energy, and completely empty, is the base of the Taiyao tribe in Zhongzhou.

It was so tragic and desolate that it was unbearable to look at.

Upon hearing this person's question, the others also showed expressions of dissatisfaction and confusion, and all turned their gazes to the player in the very center.

He was nearly two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a heavy build. Just by standing there, he exuded an undeniable presence and an extremely strong sense of oppression.

Yang Zhongguo, the world's number one Nascent Soul cultivator, second in overall combat power ranking, Minister of Taiyao Department, a veteran who has experienced countless battles!

After cultivating immortality, he, now over eighty years old, has regained his youth, transforming from a septuagenarian into a robust forty-year-old, truly returning to his peak.

Not just him, everyone present felt the same way.

The twenty-five Nascent Soul cultivators of the Taiyao tribe, with an average age of 55, are all elite uncles who have been on the battlefield and fought bloody battles.

"General Yang, did your district secretly divide up the spirit stone funds used to buy the garrison?"

A Nascent Soul cultivator from Zone 2 looked at the person opposite him with suspicion in his eyes.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from Zone 1 stood on the left side of the valley, while those from Zone 2 stood on the right. Although they belonged to the same faction, there was a subtle sense of confrontation between them.

"call"

Standing in the very center, Boss Yang suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, the sound of his breathing carrying throughout the entire valley.

With just one breath, the atmosphere in the entire valley was brought to a tense state, causing everyone's heartbeat to skip a beat.

He stood tall and straight, his strong legs slightly apart, his thick arms crossed in front of his chest. He turned his head slightly, casting his imposing gaze at the Nascent Soul cultivator who had spoken earlier. His tiger-like eyes stared directly at him as he slowly said, "I don't want to hear such words that are detrimental to unity a second time, understand?"

That gaze, as if fixed on by a ferocious beast, made the Nascent Soul cultivator's hair stand on end, his entire body tense, and he stood ramrod straight, instinctively shouting, "Yes, General!"

"Let me explain."

The speaker was Chen Feng, who ranked fourth on the overall combat power list. Although he looked to be around forty years old, he appeared refined and cultured, clearly someone who was in charge of clerical work.

"It's not a problem of funding, it's that we simply can't buy good locations for our bases."

Chen Feng shrugged and said helplessly, "This is Zhongzhou, the center of the cultivation world. There are countless sects and powerful figures here. The territory has been divided up so thoroughly that there is no place for outsiders."

"Twenty-five Nascent Soul cultivators? From a major sect?"

"That might be true in other states, but it's really nothing in the Central States."

"I hope everyone recognizes this point, doesn't become complacent or arrogant, adjusts their mindset, and that's it."

other people:"."

I was just wondering why the base was built in this dilapidated valley, but I felt like I was being lectured.

"The location of the outpost is not important. We can build another one later when we reach a higher level."

In Zone Two, a middle-aged man dressed in bright, colorful clothes, clearly different from the others, said impatiently, "Right now, the most crucial thing is the battle for supremacy, isn't it?"

"Can we get straight to the point? I'm still waiting to run the dungeon!"

"Peng Dong, you're in a hurry."

"This is a game, call me Bai Wu Hui!"

Although they are all older retired uncles and grandfathers, a few of them have played online games, have a childlike heart, and consider themselves as players.

Bai Wu Hui, ranked sixth on the overall combat power list, is one of them. He is an elite player who has defeated legendary players and fought fiercely in the Battle of Shabak.

"If you ask me, what's the point of having a meeting to discuss this? Meetings, meetings, they're so annoying."

Bai Wu Hui scratched his ear and said impatiently, "Thirty spots? Isn't this just like when we were fighting for special forces spots before? It's definitely going to be a matter of who has the best skills."

"Are you suggesting I give it up? I'm definitely not going to let anyone else have it once I've got it."

"Just like back then, I want to rise through the ranks from Heavenly Soldier to Heavenly General through my own abilities!"

other people:"."

Wow, so exciting! I feel like all the dormant passion in my heart is about to be ignited by him.

Being a special forces soldier is truly an unforgettable memory.

"No, no, no, they're different."

Chen Feng looked at his brother, whose style was so different, and said speechlessly, "In the past, it was always our own people competing, but this time we're competing with outsiders."

"With the presence of external forces, we must discuss and come up with a set of rules internally. Only with tactics and strategies can we maximize the combat effectiveness of everyone."

Faced with Chen Feng's explanation, Bai Wu Hui scoffed and said, "Tactics and strategy? Do you think this is war?"

"That Taiye City gang is just a bunch of internet addicts. Why go through all this trouble to deal with a bunch of kids? We've lived for decades longer than them; our combat experience alone is enough to crush them!"

"Do you think so?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the other Nascent Soul cultivators from the second district beside him.

"Of course, they're just a bunch of young punks. We'll crush them in this area."

The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Second District smiled and echoed.

Indeed, this is true; in District Two, the Taiyao branch is much stronger than the Taiye City branch.

"You bunch of grown men who are old enough to be grandfathers, can't you even control a little girl?"

Bai Wu Hui grinned and mocked the Nascent Soul cultivator from the opposite area.

"What did you say! Say it again if you dare!"

"Want to fight? I'm ready!"

One sentence immediately enraged the Nascent Soul cultivators in the first district, and the two sides were once again on the verge of war.

Chen Feng: “.”

They've been troublemakers for years, what should we do?
His face was full of distress, and in the end he could only turn to Boss Yang for help.

"Shut up, everyone!"

With a roar, Boss Yang unleashed a terrifying aura that shook the surrounding area for miles, as if even space itself trembled.

His eyes widened, and his gaze slowly swept over everyone. When his eyes swept over them, it was as if a heavy mountain was pressing down, making the others unable to breathe and keeping them silent.

Having drawn everyone's attention, he said with a tense face and no expression, "I'll only say one thing."

"In the struggle for power, infighting is forbidden. Unity is essential. This is both a requirement and an order. Can you do it?"

"can!"

The others instinctively shouted along.

"What if multiple people are vying for the same spot? What should be done then?"

Unfazed by Yang's imposing presence, Bai Wuhui frowned and asked.

Boss Yang glanced at him sideways and said in a calm tone, "Let's put it aside for now. We'll have a one-on-one duel after the competition ends, and the winner will be the one to claim it." "Then I have no problem."

Bai Wu Hui shrugged.

next to.

Chen Feng glanced at the Nascent Soul cultivators from Zone One beside him, then at the Nascent Soul cultivators from Zone Two opposite him. This unfamiliar yet subtly hostile confrontation made him sigh inwardly.

The original intention of this gathering was to allow the Nascent Soul cultivators from the two regions to get to know each other and deepen their understanding, but it did not go smoothly.

The divide between the two districts is still too severe.

Oh well, let's just consider it healthy competition.

the other side.

As the Taiyao tribe gathered, the Nascent Soul players from the two districts of Taiye City also came together.

Zhongzhou.

In a righteous sect's stronghold that had just been cleared of all NPCs.

"The Pillar of the Underworld!"

With a low shout, the ground in the razed sect's stronghold suddenly cracked open with a hideous fissure. Twenty-three pitch-black pillars, seemingly from hell, rose from the fissure, accompanied by surging demonic energy that shrouded the once sunny sky in a dark hue.

Twenty-three pillars of the underworld, eleven on the left and eleven on the right, hundreds of meters high, forming a semi-circular arch, as if they were paying homage to the thousand-meter-high pillar at the front.

Swish, swish, swish!
Twenty-two dark figures arrived silently, standing atop the Netherworld Pillars on the left and right sides, their gazes fixed on the foremost pillar, as if waiting for something.

"Is this an additional skill of the limited-time pool item 'Netherworld'? It's pretty cool."

"It's alright. The main purpose of this skill is to change the terrain, so it can't be very effective here."

"You used your terrain-altering skills for showing off? Tsk tsk tsk, you've really worked hard."

"Ugh, I can't help it. I rehearsed for over two hours to get this visual effect right. It was such a hassle."

Where is the BOSS?

"She said the main character must appear last."

"coming!"

"Brothers, get ready to do it in one go. I don't want to repeat this embarrassing scene multiple times."

next second.

Without warning, a crack appeared in the sky directly in front of them, and pitch-black demonic energy surged from it, instantly filling the surrounding area for dozens of miles with an evil aura.

A tall figure slowly emerged from the spatial rift, stepping into the void, and walked step by step to the highest pillar of the Netherworld.

This was a female cultivator who looked to be only in her early twenties. She wore a black dress as black as the night sky, with a trailing hem, and high boots. Standing tall at 1.7 meters, she exuded a powerful aura and attracted attention.

Her oval face, devoid of any expression, appeared both arrogant and aloof. Her delicate features shone like jewels, and her long, glossy black hair was styled into a high ponytail, giving her a cold yet capable air.

In reality, this image would be that of an elite lawyer or white-collar worker who graduated from a prestigious university.

But this is in a game, and when people saw the Black Dragon Crescent Blade she was holding in her right hand, their preconceived notions were instantly shattered.

The heavy black dress, as if she were wearing the night sky, and the black dragon crescent blade, which was more than two meters long, made her domineering presence evident just by standing there!

This woman is none other than Ye Longying, the number one player in the current cultivation era, the number one on the overall combat power ranking, and the city lord of Taiye City!

Holding the Black Dragon Crescent Blade, Ye Longying stood atop the Heavenly Pillar of the Underworld, her head bowed, her dark and deep gaze fixed on the others. She remained silent, silently observing them.

"It's now!"

"Are you really coming?"

"See that big sword in her hand? That's a Dao artifact. Do you believe she'll cut you to pieces if you don't come at her?"

A few seconds later.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Taiye City, each standing on a pillar, took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee before Ye Longying, bowed their heads, clasped their fists, and shouted loudly, "All generals of Taiye City pay their respects to Lord Ye!"

"The night rises in the west! I alone am the Lord of the Night! Demons descend upon the world! Who dares to challenge me?"

They were interrupted before they could finish shouting.

"and many more!"

Ye Longying put one hand to her forehead, shook her head, and her long black ponytail swayed. Her previously emotionless face showed obvious dissatisfaction, and she shouted in a clear voice, "Your voice is too soft! Didn't you rehearse?!"

"Again!"

With that, she turned around gracefully and stepped back into the spatial rift, leaving the twenty-two Nascent Soul players looking at each other, bewildered in the wind.

Why do we have to do something so shameful again?
Just kill me!

the second time.

This time, Ye Longying didn't step out from a spatial rift, but instead descended straight down from the sky in a tornado of demonic energy, making her appearance even more spectacular than before.

"The Night of the Visit"

"Wait, something's still not right."

Just as the Nascent Soul cultivator from Taiye City knelt on one knee, he was interrupted again.

"It's not imposing enough. Let's revise it again. I'll speak first this time."

Ye Longying frowned and muttered to herself before disappearing in a flash.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Taiye City: "."

Boss, what exactly are you trying to do?!

the third time.

Ye Longying descended from the sky amidst a whirlwind of demonic energy, stepping onto a pillar of heaven. Holding a sword in one hand, she tilted her head slightly, her resolute gaze fixed on the distance, her expression solemn. She murmured, "This is the time of annihilation."

After uttering just one line, she slowly turned her head, looking down at the others with disdain, and remained silent.

Ok?
Just one sentence?

Is this what you call domineering? This is just childish and immature!

To avoid repeating this, the Nascent Soul cultivator from Taiye City swallowed his pride and roared at the top of his lungs.

"All the generals of Taiye City pay their respects to the Lord of Night!"

"The night rises in the west! I am the Lord of the Night! Demons descend upon the world! None dare disobey!"

has it ended?

Please, just finish this already.

"very good."

Ye Longying revealed an extremely enjoyable expression, nodded with great satisfaction, glanced at the crowd below, and said with a happy smile, "Let's make it like this for now. When we fight a group battle with those old men from the Taiyao tribe in the competition, I must make my entrance with this kind of presence!"

"When the time comes, if anyone dares to let me down, hmph!"

"That's it, let's disband."

With that, she left, completely satisfied.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of Taiye City: "??????"

Disband?

They stared blankly as Ye Longying left, and after a couple of seconds of stunned silence, they couldn't help but look exasperated.

Wasn't it said that we were preparing for a war to seize control?

Why all the pomp and circumstance?

So what are we doing?

"Damn it! Who started this nonsense with her?!"

"There's nothing we can do, we can't afford to offend them, we'll just have to bear with it."
