This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

Jiang Liu finished collecting the celebration fragments and was about to take out the BOSS locator to relocate when he heard a voice beside him.

"I am the senior disciple of Xueyang Sect."

A righteous NPC bowed to Jiang Liu with respect and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. May I ask your name, sect, and home? I will definitely pay you a visit with generous gifts when I have time!"

"Taiyi Immortal Alliance, Jiang Liu."

Jiang Liu casually cupped his hands in greeting. Upon hearing that Jiang Liu was from the Taiyi Immortal Alliance headquarters, the righteous NPCs around him showed even greater respect.

So he's a genius from the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. No wonder he's so amazing.

Disrespect and disrespect.

"Since Fellow Daoist Jiang is from the Taiyi Immortal Alliance headquarters, why is he here?"

The senior disciple of Xueyang Sect looked at Jiang Liu with a puzzled expression.

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu looked at the other person with a puzzled expression: "Am I not allowed to be here?"

"That's not it."

The eldest disciple of Xueyang Sect quickly explained, "A demonic tide has suddenly appeared in various parts of Zhongzhou. The Taiyi Immortal Alliance is gathering many cultivators to quell the demonic tide. Someone like you should be joining the call to fight against the demonic tide."

A demonic tide?!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu's heart stirred, wondering how many celebration beasts could there be in the demon tide.
When hunting in the wild, you might only encounter a dozen or so festival bosses at most once or twice. But if you're hunting for demon tides, it's not just ten or twenty, but hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Farming 1 million celebration fragments in the wild is quite difficult, but farming the Demon Tide is a different story.

In the demonic tide, he killed tens of thousands of celebration demonic beasts with a single skill. Wouldn't he be able to pick up celebration fragments until his hands were sore?
Why would anyone jungle? Who jungles normally?

"The demonic tide you mentioned is here."

Just as Jiang Liu was about to ask where the demon tide was, he heard a system notification in his mind.

[Ming Qingjing, a council member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance at the Tribulation Transcending stage, has issued a summons, calling on cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage from all over the world to go to Mingxin City to quell the demon tide. Do you accept the summons?]

Here it comes, here it comes!
A summons issued by a powerful figure who has transcended tribulation!

Perfect timing!
Jiang Liu accepted the order without even thinking.

[You have accepted the summons. Please proceed to Mingxin City as soon as possible.]

next second.

A large map automatically popped up, displaying the coordinates of Mingxin City.

Good heavens, one is in the south and the other in the north, separated by a vast distance.

At this distance, will I even have time to make a move by the time I get there?
No need to worry.

[Ming Qingjing, the Tribulation Crossing Director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, has activated a large-scale teleportation array. It only costs 188 million spirit stones to activate the 'Little Flying Shoes' and immediately teleport to Mingxin City.]

Jiang Liu: “.”

A pair of flying shoes worth 188 million spirit stones—there are still a lot of big spenders in Zhongzhou.

In the Central Plains, even Jiang Liu wouldn't dare call himself a super-rich man; his foundation built over tens of thousands of years is simply too abundant.

A mere toll for stopping someone on the road can cost 100 million spirit stones; one can't even imagine how many spirit stones the entire Central Continent has accumulated.

188 million spirit stones, pass it on, we're not short of money.

【Yes】

After clicking "OK", Jiang Liu was surrounded by a dazzling white light, and his entire body instantly disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already on the city wall of Mingxin City, 108,000 miles away.

The towering city wall, thousands of feet high, was majestic and imposing, and it was filled with countless cultivators, all of whom were experts at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

Before a large number of players in various regions break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the NPC forces in Zhongzhou are still very formidable.

Well, even if a large number of players from various regions break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they may not be able to suppress the NPCs in Zhongzhou. After all, they still have invincible beings below the Ascension stage, such as those who have transcended tribulation and reached the Mahayana stage.

Jiang Liu glanced around briefly before turning his gaze to the outside of the city walls, where he was overjoyed at the sight.

Outside Mingxin City, countless celebratory monsters were piled up, completely enveloping the vast city.

How many celebratory monsters are there?

One million, or ten million?

Holy crap, if he could handle all of this by himself, he could clear out the entire event shop in no time.

When will war begin? My greatsword is already itching for battle!

The demon tide hasn't started yet. Although the demon beasts for the celebration have all gathered, the NPCs haven't all gathered. Even if it's a monster siege, it can only begin once both sides have taken their positions.

Jiang Liu suppressed the urge to rush down and fight on all sides, shifting his gaze from the demon tide to the city wall.

On the other side of the city wall, a middle-aged man in a light-colored robe stared expressionlessly at the demon tide. He stood on a teleportation array, which flashed and teleported several NPCs to him.

Is he the Tribulation-Transcending Council member who issued the summons?
Jiang Liu, filled with curiosity, clicked on the other person's personal information.

【Mingqing Mirror】

[Rank: BOSS]

[Realm: Early Stage of Tribulation Transcending]

[Affiliation: Mingxin Sect, Taiyi Immortal Alliance]

[Position/Affiliation: Sect Master of Mingxin Sect, Director of Taiyi Immortal Alliance]

Surprised!

He was actually the sect leader of the Mingxin Sect!
This is Mingxin City, and he is the sect leader of the Mingxin Sect.
Mingxin City was besieged by monsters. In his capacity as a council member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, he issued a summons, calling on cultivators from all over the world to defend Mingxin City.
Isn't this a misuse of public resources?

Using the identity of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance to gather cultivators from all over the world, and then protecting their own sects—damn, these old monsters are all incredibly cunning.

"If I were also a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, wouldn't I be able to gather cultivators from all over the world?"

"Summon cultivators from all over the world, and attack whomever you wish!"

A strange light gleamed in Jiang Liu's eyes, and his heart was filled with restless desire. Using public resources for private gain was exactly what he wanted.

To be honest, he wanted it.

However, the position of director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance is not something that can be obtained simply by wanting it.

He had learned a little before that one needed to complete a major event mission in Zhongzhou to be qualified to become a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

He didn't even know what the "Central Plains Major Event" mission was, let alone how to complete it.

Even if he were to encounter a major event in Zhongzhou and happen to complete it, his cultivation level would still not be sufficient to become a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

He's a powerful figure in the Tribulation Transcending stage, which is why he's a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. He's just a minor Nascent Soul cultivator; it's not his place at all!

Unfortunately, at this stage, players can only serve as tools for NPCs.

Jiang Liu shook his head with a regretful expression, shifting his gaze from the Transcending Tribulation expert to slowly sweeping across the city wall, where he spotted a familiar figure again.

General Yang and the players from the Taiyao tribe also arrived in Mingxin City. Sure enough, they couldn't possibly miss such a good opportunity to farm celebration fragments.

Not only Taiyao Division, he even saw the Poison King, Ye Longying, and people from Taiye City.

Ok?
Poison King, Night Cherry Blossom, Night City?

Aren't they NPCs from the Demonic Path? How come they can come to a place like this?
A few hundred demonic players mixed in with tens of thousands of righteous NPCs—isn't this like lambs to the slaughter?
Jiang Liu looked puzzled, and the Poison King and Ye Longying, who were not far away, also saw him.

The two exchanged a glance, and the Poison King sneered at Jiang Liu, then slashed his neck a few times.

Ye Longying was even more straightforward, glaring at Jiang Liu and saying, "What are you looking at? If you can come, why can't we?"

Of course you can't come!

"Senior Ming, I want to report this!"

Jiang Liu shouted directly in Ming Qingjing's direction: "There are demonic cultivators who have infiltrated here! Yes, it's them!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the Poison King, Ye Longying, and the people of Taiye City instantly darkened. They glared at Jiang Liu, their eyes revealing undisguised killing intent.

At the same time, a barrage of insults against Jiang Liu began in the public chat.

[Poison King: You bastard, are you a dog? Reporting us to the NPCs?] [Night Sakura: Player traitor? You're playing dirty!]

[Northern Demon God: Stay away from our Taiye City for a while, otherwise, hehe.]

Upon hearing the shout, Ming Qingjing looked at Ye Longying and the others expressionlessly, but only for two seconds before looking away.

"Young man, with a formidable enemy at hand, do not speak nonsense and disturb the morale of the army."

Jiang Liu: “.”

Sunima!
You're just turning a blind eye, aren't you!
In order to protect your Mingxin City, you actually turned a blind eye to the demonic cultivators. How could you be a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance!

I'm going to report you to the Taiyi Immortal Alliance!

Seeing Ye Longying and the others' smug expressions, Jiang Liu was furious. These righteous NPCs talked about eradicating the demonic path, but all they cared about was their own interests. They were so damn pragmatic.

Alright, but don't come near me for a while. If you do, don't blame me for fighting demons and protecting the righteous path.

Even the Transcending Tribulation expert didn't care, so Jiang Liu had nothing to say and could only turn his attention back to the Celebration Demon Tide.

A pair of discerning eyes scanned the demonic tide of the celebration, searching for the location where the celebration bosses were clustered together.

at this time.

A countdown suddenly appeared in the sky.

4：59，4：58，4：47
There are just over four minutes left before the festival's demonic siege begins!

At the same time, a leaderboard appeared on the right side of all players' field of vision.

[Celebration Demon Tide Points Ranking]

[Early Nascent Soul stage -1 point, Mid Nascent Soul stage -3 points, Late Nascent Soul stage -10 points, Great Perfection Nascent Soul stage -20 points, Early Deity Transformation stage -50 points, Mid Deity Transformation stage -100 points, Late Deity Transformation stage -200 points, Great Perfection Deity Transformation stage -500 points]

[Nascent Soul Grand Perfection BOSS - 200 points, Deity Transformation Grand Perfection BOSS - 1000 points]

[Players and NPCs share a leaderboard. After the celebration's demon tide ends, the top 100 players on the leaderboard can go to Ming Qingjing, a council member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, to claim generous rewards.]

[The ranking of demonic tides for this celebration is published by the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, and the final interpretation right belongs to Ming Qingjing, a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.]

Is the celebration demon tide points ranking published by Taiyi Immortal Alliance?

So, this isn't an official event, but rather an NPC event?
Jiang Liu glanced at the introduction of the celebration demon tide points leaderboard and thought to himself.

The fact that the Taiyi Immortal Alliance can even publish such a fake event shows they have quite a lot of authority.

It's not just the players who can make it onto this celebration's leaderboard; even NPCs can.

Will a bunch of Nascent Soul stage NPCs, or even Tribulation Transcending level experts, suddenly appear and compete with them for the rankings?
As Jiang Liu thought this, his gaze swept back and forth across the city wall. Apart from Ming Qingjing and the few Mingxin Sect elders beside him, all the NPCs were below the Integration Stage.

Haha, what right do NPCs below the Fusion stage have to compete with players for the rankings?
soon.

The countdown is over.

The Transcending Tribulation expert Ming Qingjing and the elders of the Mingxin Sect beside him rose into the clouds, their voices descending from the sky like thunder.

"Fellow Daoists, the demonic tide has resurfaced, and the Central Plains are in peril. Now is the time to stand together and overcome this crisis!"

"I, Ming Qingjing, the sect leader of Mingxin Sect and director of Taiyi Immortal Alliance, thank all fellow Daoists for their support. I am willing to give up all the accumulated wealth of Mingxin Sect over ten thousand years to allow all cultivators in the world to fight with all their might!"

"We cultivators, why should we hesitate to fight against demons!"

"Attack!"

At Ming Qingjing's command, the runes covering the entire Mingxin City wall suddenly flashed with multicolored light, and hundreds of runes detached from the city wall, attacking the celebration demon tide like swimming dragons!

Mingxin City goes first!
Boom boom boom boom!
Amidst a series of booming sounds, the NPCs jumped off the towering city wall like dumplings, heading straight into the demon tide!

"Exterminate demons and uphold justice! Protect the pure heart!"

"Senior Ming, rest assured! We'll live as long as the city stands! We'll die if the city falls!"

"Senior Ming, I am Li Yasheng, a disciple of the White Dew Sect. Remember my name!"

"I am Zhao Qianqiu, a disciple of the Flying Tiger Sect. Please remember me, senior!"

As the battle against the demon tide began, the city walls, which were originally filled with cultivators, were instantly cleared out.

The NPCs moved, and the players were equally determined. Taiyao Tribe and Taiye City, led by General Yang and Yelongying, flew towards the demon tide.

"Heavenly Overlord Soaring Fist!"

With a single punch, a straight line of ten miles was cleared, annihilating all the festival monsters and festival bosses along that line!

"Annihilation Devouring Life Slash!"

With a single slash, the screen was cleared for miles around, and all the festival monsters and festival bosses under the blood-stained blade were wiped out!

Jiang Liu only needed one glance to know that General Yang and Ye Longying had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Only a significant improvement at the Nascent Soul stage could result in such terrifying damage.

"The Sacred Escape Manual!"

Jiang Liu was not to be outdone, and directly used the Sacred Escape Scripture to teleport to the location he had found earlier.

Here, there is a celebration boss at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and eight celebration bosses at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage!

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

[You have defeated the Purple Tiger King (Great Perfection of Nascent Soul), gaining 1000 Demon Hunting Points]

You have defeated the Iron Bear King (Nascent Soul Grand Perfection) and gained 200 Demon Hunting Points.

[You have slain the Wolf King of the Broken Voice (Nascent Soul Grand Perfection), gaining 200 Demon Hunting Points]

One Grand Perfection Nascent Soul Celebration BOSS and eight Grand Perfection Nascent Soul Celebration BOSSes were instantly killed!

Forget about bosses; before the fusion, they're all just small monsters!
You have obtained 34561 Celebration Fragments.

You have obtained 12370 Celebration Fragments.

You have obtained 19697 Celebration Fragments.

Harvest!
In the blink of an eye, I've gained over 100,000 celebration fragments. With this kind of efficiency, who would still bother farming in the jungle?

After clearing out the celebration bosses, Jiang Liu was too lazy to look for any more bosses and went straight for the nearest one, unleashing his full firepower!

"Six Dao-Rank Spirit Seeds, emerge!"

"Incarnation outside the body!"

"Seven-Colored Ultimate Primordial Spirit!"

"One Qi Transforms into Three Bodies!"

"My Ten Directions Suppressing Killing Fist!"

This skill is on cooldown.

"I unleash a thunderbolt in my fury!"

Clear screen! Clear screen! Still clearing screen!

In an instant, his ranking on the celebration monster hunting points leaderboard jumped to the top!

A demon beast in the Fusion stage can instantly kill any monster, whether it's a boss or a small one. Its attack power is now inflated to an extreme level!
He killed them quickly, but the number of festival monsters was too large. The cleared space was immediately filled with festival monsters again in the next second.

Monsters are attacking from all directions!

The monsters attacked like a rain of stars!
-
1-1-1-1-1！

It didn't break through my defenses, haha!
10000! -10000! -10000!

Jiang Liu: “Emmmm.”

The celebratory beasts at the Nascent Soul stage could barely penetrate his defenses, but the celebratory beasts at the Deity Transformation stage were a different story.

After a round of counterattacks from the monsters, Jiang Liu felt his health bar nearly empty and was completely dumbfounded.

Holy crap, I made a mistake. (End of Chapter)
