160: Players confront each other, and the formation is broken

Mingshui Heaven was vast, but the number of Great Love Sect players was also extremely high.

After being pushed out of the Immortal's Abode by an invisible force, the Great Love Sect's evil Cultivators scattered in all directions around the Immortal's Abode.

Midnight Gao Sou and others immediately sent messages conveying new instructions: resolve the other external players before the Immortal's Abode's Formation shattered.

"Without a Golden Core, our Great Love Sect should dominate!"

Midnight Gao Sou hovered in mid-air, gazing at the Loose Cultivators outside the Immortal's Abode, his lips curving into a confident smile.

Not long ago, the actions of the three Golden Core Experts, who divided the Immortal's Abode with a flick of their fingers, left players unable to move on for a long time. Many players even felt stifled, believing that this Xuanhuan World was just for serving the upper echelons.

But now, players already possessed the strength to divide the Immortal's Abode and had become the protagonists of this place.

So... Midnight Gao Sou decided to monopolize the Immortal's Abode, not intending to share it with anyone else.

As soon as he issued this command, the Great Love Sect players immediately became excited and rushed towards the other players around them.

"It's still unknown if the Immortal's Abode Formation can be broken, the treasures on the surrounding players are the true Opportunity!"

"Who cares about that, let's kill and seize treasures first!"

"Anyway, as long as the task is completed, even if we can't enter the Immortal's Abode in the end, Gao Sou will leave us something. Kill, kill, kill!"

A group of Great Love Sect players were ecstatic, and for a moment, they genuinely felt a sense of Sect honor.

A group of players who had come for the Immortal's Abode suddenly suffered greatly.

A surge of blood light boiled up, black mist swirled, and the evil Cultivator players used various methods, each more bizarre and difficult to deal with than the last.

Ordinary players not only had inferior cultivation but also inferior combat techniques, retreating steadily and falling one after another.

These fallen players couldn't stand it anymore and quickly went to the forum to curse the Great Love Sect:

"Damn it, are the Great Love Sect still human? What kind of skill is monopolizing a dungeon?"

"So disgusting, everyone is playing a game, what's the deal with you monopolizing a dungeon?"

"Where is the Huan Meng official? Aren't the officials going to do anything?"

A barrage of angry curses echoed endlessly on the forum, but they were met with ridicule:

"The Xuanhuan World is an open world, if you can't beat us, just change maps, right?"

"Do you know what an open world is? High freedom, infinite possibilities, players are the protagonists, we can play however we want."

"Are you little kids playing an online game for the first time? We're being kind by just monopolizing one event dungeon. In other games, even the Newbie Village would be monopolized, understand?"

The two sides immediately started a war of words.

In fact, as the Great Love Sect players said, this was indeed the norm for online games.

When a large guild's player count reaches a certain threshold, and their Rank, equipment, etc., can suppress solo players, they will naturally monopolize more efficient leveling spots or dungeons that can consistently produce loot.

In the Xuanhuan World, this meant that after establishing a Sect, they would naturally occupy the surrounding Spirit Peaks and spirit fields. When their numbers reached a certain scale and they had Immortal Foundations in charge, they would also monopolize Secret Realms.

Before, the Xuanhuan World had never experienced such conflicts because players were firmly suppressed by native Cultivators.

No matter how much they messed around or engaged in PVP, they were ultimately slapped to death by native Cultivators, and all the treasures they fought over were taken by the Three Great Sects' Cultivators.

At that time, players were united against a common enemy, and there was very little internal strife.

But now it was different; the player community had more and more Immortal Foundations, and Mortal Foundations were emerging endlessly. The capable Qi Refining Ninth Levels also had their own plans.

Coupled with the fact that the Golden Core Experts of the Three Great Sects would not appear in this Mingshui Heaven incident, it naturally became the main battlefield for players.

Just as the organizing committee host said, this event seemed to be the Empress's Breakthrough main storyline, but in essence, it had transformed into a dungeon arrival and PVP between player groups.

And this kind of PVP was destined to be unfriendly to Loose Cultivator players.

As Great Love Sect players attacked furiously, Loose Cultivator players fell one after another. Those who arrived later no longer dared to advance, only able to leave in disarray, raging impotently on the forum.

It was said that some rich players were even forced to restart, vowing to spend tens of millions to buy resources and eradicate the Great Love Sect once they cultivated to Golden Core.

After the Loose Cultivator players, came the guild players and some small Sect players.

They initially fought individually and were defeated by the vast numbers of Great Love Sect's evil Cultivators. Later, they became smarter, banding together for warmth, and even called people to consume their Lifespan to temporarily construct Formations, actually taking root outside the Immortal's Abode.

Forces under people like Wang Huohuo, Ye Chun, and Wang Long were also mixed into these Sect forces.

As the Immortal's Abode Formation remained unbroken, more and more Great Love Sect players and other players poured in, and this place formed three factions:

The Great Love Sect, actively clearing the surroundings.

Various players, grouped together to resist.

Solo players, lurking outside, looking for Opportunity.

The three factions formed a balance, attracting a lot of discussion online.

"Damn it, when will this Immortal's Abode open?"

"Damn it, it's been three days, everyone is stuck here."

"Our guild leader spent several millions buying Medicinal Pills, otherwise, we would really be overwhelmed by the Great Love Sect's numbers."

"I'm from the Great Love Sect, Gao Sou and the others are also throwing money, damn it, everyone's gone crazy."

This PVP battle developed extremely quickly, many players didn't even react, but it quickly turned into a military race, hoarding supplies.

Various Medicinal Pills, captives, Formation Plates, Demonic Beasts, and even precious Spiritual Artifacts and Magical Artifacts—anything that could strengthen actual combat power was bought with money.

So, it seemed that only players near Mingshui Heaven were fighting, but in reality, players throughout the entire Xuanhuan World were mobilized.

Players in peaceful areas frantically gathered herbs, mined, performed Alchemy, or directly killed people to seize treasures, constantly transporting supplies to the front lines through the trading System.

Jiang Feng, hiding behind the scenes, made a killing from commissions.

Just as various media outlets were reporting, believing that this battle between players would continue to extend.

The Mingshui Heaven Formation suddenly stirred.

Cracking sounds rang out, and the invisible barrier seemed unable to maintain itself. The scenery inside became clearer, and everyone knew that the Immortal's Abode was about to open.

This was also intentionally designed by Jiang Feng; this time, the experience he wanted to give players was primarily exploring the Immortal's Abode, with Cultivator confrontation as secondary. It was impossible for the latter to overshadow the former.

When players eventually had Golden Core Experts and another large organization that could rival the Great Love Sect, Cultivator confrontation might evolve into the main gameplay. For now, it was too early.

When the Immortal's Abode Formation shattered, all players present ceased their fighting.

At this stage, the strongest players were only at Immortal Foundation. Facing an Immortal's Abode that might contain a Nascent Soul Inheritance, no one was willing to give up, and they were even more afraid of others getting ahead.

Under these circumstances, even if Midnight Gao Sou strongly ordered his subordinate players to continue guarding, it would be impossible.

Thus, everyone rushed forward in a tumultuous mass, without any order, towards Mingshui Heaven.
