My Disciples are Too Idiotic

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, players had risked their lives to earn Contribution Points. The low-level Demonic Beasts in the Demon Beast Forest no longer satisfied them. Many players began teaming up to hunt high-level Demonic Beasts, viewing those at the Golden Core Realm as delectable targets. Once encountered, groups of players would fearlessly rush towards them to encircle and slaughter. Even the Demonic Beasts themselves were bewildered by this. They roamed the Demon Beast Forest freely. Normally, wouldn't any member of the Human Race cautiously avoid them? Who could have guessed that recently they would confront nothing but reckless madmen who provoked them with a few slaps, utterly arrogant? Because of this, the players' Realms were also rapidly advancing.

Moreover, following Flourishing Flowers' lead, the players of Cloud Lament had successfully completed the Task from the Ten Great Clans. That's right! The players of Cloud Lament stormed the Ten Great Clans, initiating a purge. In three days, they not only earned a vast number of Contribution Points but also continued slaughtering Demonic Beasts. In just three short days, the players had advanced their Realms again, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm in one go! Everyone was at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Among them were even some daredevils who, prioritizing their Realm above all else, recklessly pushed themselves to the Golden Core Realm.

This scene was precisely what Xu Nian wanted to see. Why? Because only with the players striving could he advance his own Realm. As the Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect, am I supposed to just stand by and watch myself be surpassed by the players? Who could endure that?

「Inside the Demon Beast Forest.」

The players had already gathered, waiting for the new Task to arrive. Based on what they knew, this Task was within the Demon Beast Forest, and they would have to contend with a large number of Non-player Characters. This meant their opponents this time were NPCs.

But to the players, what did NPCs even matter? Blocking them from Earning Contribution Points was an offense tantamount to killing their fathers or stealing their wives! Even the strongest NPC would have to bow their head and admit defeat when facing the players!

At Noon, a Golden Light soared into the sky. Its location was deep within the Demon Beast Forest, not far from its very Deep Depths. It was known that these deepest areas housed great Demonic Beasts of the Divinity Transformation Realm and Void Refining Realm, and perhaps even higher Realms! These Demonic Beasts could truly be considered the overlords of the Demon Beast Forest. Even high-Realm experts of the Human Race were unwilling to provoke them.

However, the players cared nothing for this. This was Demon Beast Forest Street; go ask who's the real boss here!

"Damn, that's a glaring Golden Light! Is that where the legacy of the Profound Nether Immortal Emperor, mentioned in the Task, is located?"

"The legacy of an Immortal Emperor? Why does this Task feel so problematic?"

"It's probably some lunatic who just gave himself such a grand title, right?"

"He must be mad for immortality! Anyway, what do we do now? Should we rush over there all at once? The NPCs are probably all there, right?"

The players all showed eager expressions, itching to charge over immediately. Screw it, let's complete the Task first! Anyone who obstructs us is our enemy! For them, it's a dead end!

"Let's go!"

Junlin spoke solemnly, "This time, we're bound to clash with NPCs. No need for anyone to hold back. Whoever blocks us is the enemy!"

"For Contribution Points!" Flourishing Flowers roared, waving his arm and leading the members of Cloud Lament as they charged murderously towards the location of the Golden Light.

The Second Legion also swept out majestically. The remaining players followed closely, not wanting to be left behind. For Contribution Points! That was their ultimate goal. Besides, the Sect was nearby; dying just meant Resurrection and trying again. Contribution Points were what mattered most!

The players surged out, and instantly, birds and beasts scattered throughout the entire Demon Beast Forest.

...

「At the location of the Golden Light.」

People from the major powers of the Northern Wilderness had almost all arrived. Even some wandering cultivators joined in, wanting to get a piece of the action.

"Tsk tsk, Liu Ruyan of the Celestial Splendor Sect actually came in person. Quite rare indeed."

"Is that group from Luminous Fire City? Could that young man in the Red Robe be the Young City Lord of Luminous Fire City—the first in a thousand years to reach the Golden Core Realm by twenty?"

"The seventeenth on the Hidden Dragon List came too. It's said he joined the Illusory Moon Sect, though who knows if that's true."

"Huh? That young man is actually at the Nascent Soul Realm! Why haven't I ever heard of such a person?"

People from the great powers gathered. On the surface, they exchanged a few pleasantries, but internally, everyone was on high alert. Figures like Liu Ruyan, a true Heaven's Pride, naturally garnered much attention. Almost everyone on the Northern Wilderness's Hidden Dragon List had arrived. Of course, this was except for Killing Array Luo Yuan, whose whereabouts were unknown. It seemed that after he became number one ten years ago, he completely vanished. To this day, no one knew if he was alive or dead.

Besides these groups, there were a few individuals in White Robes with powerful auras. These people did not seem to be from their Northern Wilderness. Their appearance put considerable pressure on Everyone present.

Within the Celestial Splendor Sect's contingent, Liu Ruyan glanced at those mysterious figures and felt an inexplicable pressure herself. In their eyes, my Golden Core Realm is no different from a child's. At the same age, they are already at the Nascent Soul Realm, while I'm still struggling at the Golden Core Realm. Is this the gap between Cultivators of the Northern Wilderness and those from the outside world?
