95: The first action of the Great Love Alliance

In the Xuanhuan World, there are many players; some prefer to go solo, some like to team up, some play for leisure, and some frantically grind levels.

But no matter which player it is, they all want to Cultivate, because only through Cultivation can they access more gameplay. Even if they just hide in a remote valley to farm, a Qi Refining Cultivator is more comfortable than a Mortal.

Although the Xuanhuan World has different Cultivation systems, in the currently open four national maps, the Immortal Cultivation system is absolutely mainstream, and to Cultivate Immortals, one needs a Spiritual Root.

Too many players don't have a Spiritual Root.

Without a Spiritual Root, one cannot Cultivate Immortals. Without Cultivating Immortals, one cannot acquire reincarnation points. Without reincarnation points, one cannot guarantee a Spiritual Root at the start of Reincarnation.

If they had even 1 reincarnation point, they could ensure a Spiritual Root at the start, and then maintain Qi Refining in every life, always possessing a Spiritual Root.

But this leap from 0 to 1 is simply too difficult.

They can only wait for the Soul Transmigration cooldown to reset, then try their luck to see if they can transmigrate into a Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment body, but the probability is not high.

So, on the Xuanhuan World forums, there are some people who, despite being Mortal characters, often pretend to be Qi Refining or even Foundation Establishment Cultivators. They point fingers and give advice on Cultivation in every corner of forums, videos, and the internet, even teaching newcomers how to quickly advance.

It's quite pitiable, to be honest... It is precisely for this reason that the value of the Heaven Void Profoundless Art has grown increasingly high. It can be said that all players in the entire Xuanhuan World are looking forward to Cultivating this unique Cultivation Technique.

However, as early as when the multiplayer online mode first launched, Qinghe Town, where the Heaven Void Profoundless Art was located, suffered a catastrophe—

Countless players flooded in, causing chaos, almost digging up the martial arts hall three feet deep, which scared the Old Master into fleeing overnight.

Thus, the Heaven Void Profoundless Art was lost, and no one knew into whose hands it had fallen.

Now, it has appeared once again.

The players were in an uproar, boiling with excitement, and all asked Midnight Gao Sou:

"Gao Sou, where did you get the Heaven Void Profoundless Art?"

"Weren't you transmigrated into Lu Dingpeng's body back then? Didn't you not go to Qinghe Town?"

"Did someone else release it? Who was it?"

Seeing the replies and the increasingly lively Great Love Alliance forum section, Midnight Gao Sou's lips curved into a smile.

Since forming the Great Love Alliance, he and Old Potato have been busy collecting various Cultivation Techniques, organizing intelligence uploaded by players, and even arranging for veteran players to mentor new ones, truly embodying great love among people.

However, many players, after joining, found that the Great Love Alliance was nothing special, always offering only trashy ninth-grade and eighth-grade Cultivation Techniques, and always outdated, useless, low-quality intelligence. Disappointed, they immediately chose to leave.

Midnight Gao Sou, Old Potato, and some other streamers racked their brains over this; they genuinely wanted to create the first major force among players.

Just as Alliance members were continuously dwindling and valuable Cultivation Techniques and intelligence were becoming scarcer, someone suddenly messaged Midnight Gao Sou, saying that the Heaven Void Profoundless Art was in his hands and he could sell the Cultivation Technique.

Gao Sou and other high-ranking Alliance members held a meeting, and finally, at no small cost, acquired this divine Cultivation Technique from the single-player mode, which was a super-divine Cultivation Technique in multiplayer mode.

Thus, the Heaven Void Profoundless Art was uploaded to the Great Love Alliance!

Immediately, countless players joined the Alliance.

Most of these players were Mortals, without Cultivation Techniques or intelligence, so the requirement to join the Alliance was to reveal their intelligence.

Midnight Gao Sou and others instantly gained control over the locations and identities of an unknown number of players.

"Alright, gather everyone, let's Cultivate the Heaven Void Profoundless Art together, and all advance to Qi Refining!"

Midnight Gao Sou laughed heartily, waved his hand, found an open space near the Efeng Mountain Range, and had all Alliance members gather around.

This time, tens of thousands of people followed him, gathering to Cultivate the Heaven Void Profoundless Art.

The Efeng Mountain Range, having been scorched by fire and shifted by an earthquake, appeared somewhat chaotic, with a plain forming on its periphery.

Midnight Gao Sou called for a stone platform to be built. Dressed in a very flashy red battle robe, he excitedly stepped onto it, clapped his hands, amplified his voice with spiritual power, and shouted:

"Alright, everyone quiet! Quiet! Listen to me."

The players below stopped what they were doing and looked curiously at Midnight Gao Sou.

"This is our Great Love Alliance's first collective action."

Midnight Gao Sou's tone was serious, and he felt a bit nervous inside.

If this first action failed, the Alliance's future would be grim.

"Everyone has received the Heaven Void Profoundless Art, right? But without a Legacy Jade Slip, successfully Cultivating to Qi Refining requires a significant expenditure of Lifespan.

"To this end, the high-ranking members of our Alliance, sacrificing themselves for others, chose a resource-type Golden Finger for this life's reincarnation points. They specifically exchanged them for Spirit Stones and re-purchased Cultivation resources beneficial for Mortals to Breakthrough to Qi Refining, making it convenient for everyone to Breakthrough in one go!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the players present erupted in excitement. Everyone was surprised that the Great Love Alliance actually offered such benefits.

Midnight Gao Sou pressed his hands down, signaling for everyone to quiet down:

"Similarly, we also hope that after you Breakthrough to Qi Refining, you will not leave on your own, but rather follow our arrangements, act in unison, and participate in the Golden Core Tomb event together. As Void Gazer inheritors, you will explore the grotto-heaven and collect resources within.

"The Legacy Jade Slips you collect, you need to upload the Cultivation Technique and Secret Manuals to the Alliance section, but you can use the Jade Slips themselves as you wish.

"For the Cultivation spiritual resources you collect, we will split them seven-three; seven parts you keep for yourselves, and the remaining three parts go to the Alliance."

"The Alliance will use these resources to prioritize assisting a player with a talented Golden Finger, helping him Breakthrough to Immortal Foundation and charge towards Golden Core."

"Once we have a Golden Core, our Great Love Alliance will truly rise!"

After Midnight Gao Sou finished speaking, he scanned the crowd, and sure enough, everyone's expressions were varied.

"Then, Alliance Leader, who is the player with the talented Golden Finger who will receive resource prioritization?"

At this moment, a new player raised his hand high, looking curious.

Midnight Gao Sou coughed:

"As it stands, it is I."

The players exchanged glances. Although they didn't say anything yet, their expressions became somewhat strange.

Seeing signs of everyone dispersing, Midnight Gao Sou quickly said:

"Who it specifically is can be decided after the event ends; in any case, the one with the best talent will definitely be chosen."

"Now we must hurry and Cultivate, trying to exhaust all ten years of Lifespan to maximize our strength."

These words somewhat appeased everyone, but then someone else asked:

"Gao Sou, will the Three Great Sects allow us to enter and seize treasures?"

Midnight Gao Sou nodded steadily:

"This is the key thing I need to talk about. The Three Great Sects will allow us to enter and seize treasures, but they will immediately snatch the treasures after we leave the grotto-heaven."

"So we must try to stay in the grotto-heaven for as long as possible. It would be best if we could Breakthrough to Immortal Foundation within the grotto-heaven; only then will we have some leverage to negotiate with them."

Midnight Gao Sou did not harbor extravagant hopes of Breakthrough to Golden Core within the grotto-heaven; that was simply impossible.

Furthermore, there was one more thing he hadn't mentioned, and that was—

After leaving the grotto-heaven, everyone would certainly be purged by the natives, most likely with no chance of survival.

Therefore, the Cultivation Techniques and other Legacies obtained and uploaded in the grotto-heaven became the key to this mission, and also the "resources" that Midnight Gao Sou and others truly wanted to acquire from the grotto-heaven.

As for himself, and those other players who chose talent-type Golden Fingers and were preparing to Breakthrough to Immortal Foundation or even Golden Core... it had long been decided that they would not enter the grotto-heaven.
