Early morning of the next day.
The Legendary Four of the Eye Legend hit the hot search, eagerly anticipated by everyone, as if they had just gone to the front lines, feeling a bit uneasy.
After receiving guidance from a group of big shots last night, they had undergone intensive training.
There was even a voice call where they were taught hand-in-hand through the video, and they believed that they had improved.
Returning to the front courtyard.
The Red-clothed Sister was already sitting in place, giving them a glance:
"Let's start, whether you have combat potential, whether you can grow, can be seen in one or two rounds."
The four stood at the four corners, communicating with their teammates.
They assigned themselves to four teams based on the weapons used, known as Assassin, Archer, Tank, and Mage.
This made the Red-clothed Sister a bit surprised, showing a look of interest:
"Hmm, the positioning is better than before, it seems it's not that you haven't learned, but that you were lazy, you haven't practiced actual combat, and now you're recalling the forgotten knowledge!"
Combat, and collaborative combat, is a mandatory subject for Demon Cultivators.
Not everyone can suppress the world on their own.
Even if one can sweep across, that's a matter for much later, during the early stages with low realms, cooperation is the righteous path.
Why are Loose Cultivators not strong?
Because Loose Cultivators are scattered, while family cultivators have inheritance, trained from a young age, and move in groups.
Whether it's a hunting team hunting demon beasts.
Or a guard team protecting a merchant caravan.
Or even a demon cultivator team attacking a merchant caravan, all move in groups.
This world is fiercely competitive, low-level cultivators tend to favor organized formations and combined attack techniques.
Some families even cultivate their clan members as an army or private soldiers.
Boom!
The four began to command, engaging in battle.
They picked up four bows and began shooting arrows, providing ranged support.
After all, the bow and arrow are their only proficient attack method, also the simplest and easiest to learn.
Because close-combat weapons require consideration of swinging angles, footwork, dodging, and various experiences...
While with a bow, as long as you aim accurately, even if you don't, arrows drawn on the string can pressure the enemies, forcing them to constantly be distracted and pay attention to the weapons.
Boom!
This battle was conducted with some form.
Pushing and pulling, attacking, protecting the rear, restraining.
Every detail was present, though not done exquisitely, it was at least decent to watch.
The Red-clothed Sister nodded with a smile, "Using the bow to play to strengths and avoid weaknesses, it does show some small cleverness, not shooting to deter is also a tactic."
After battling, the four withdrew their hands.
The Red-clothed Sister didn't care about win or loss, stood up smiling, "You four have passed, officially entering our family's Hidden Vein, becoming the Hidden Vein disciples under my command!"
Hidden Vein disciples?
The four were confused, what does this mean.
They were led to a living room.
They found there were a total of forty-nine scarecrows in the courtyard, doing chores, cultivating, practicing martial arts.
Dizzy was momentarily stunned.
Are there really "Terracotta Warriors" as burial companions in the tomb?
"Are you alive or dead?" Dizzy couldn't help but ask.
A nearby scarecrow seemed to have anticipated this question, replied, "Of course, we are alive."
Dizzy let out a cold laugh.
Does Ghost saying they're alive make them alive?
Puffy Eyes pointed to the lantern in the distance, "What color is that?"
"Colored."
Several scarecrows replied flatly.
Truly alive?
Dizzy and the others exchanged glances.
The other side was already used to it, "Don't be so nervous, every newcomer is like you guys the first time."
"In fact, most clan members don't know, our family has a group of disciples on the mountain and a batch downhill!"
"The ones above are called the family's main vein, we here are the family's hidden vein, our characteristic is having only one head, the body is shared... if the clan is wiped out, our hidden vein will replace the main vein and rise again."
Dizzy and the others felt the information overload: a group with shared bodies from a single head?
And the audience's perspective exploded, the comments filled the screen.
[Turns out there's such a setting in the villa.]
[The Demon Cultivator aristocratic family has a line hiding in the tomb, as a precaution.]
[So, based on this background setting, these NPCs are hidden vein disciples, and we the resurrected players are the main vein disciples, partying wildly on the mountain!]
[Very interesting, so Dizzy and the four's storyline is about joining the Hidden Vein sect?]
The storyline setting has become complicated, but also seems more interesting.
So the Red-clothed Sister chopping heads wasn't for some experiment.
It was to have them join the family's hidden vein?
It turns out the plot has twisted, the Red-clothed Sister is actually a good person, a good old ancestor who loves the younger generation, we misunderstood her.
Several scarecrows laughed, "You are here now, it's another way of living."
Another person chimed in, "Here you can learn talisman painting, alchemy, medical skills, and you can also cultivate."
"Oh, how to cultivate?"
Dizzy secretly calculated, "Haven't we only got one head left? We're not even heads anymore, but have turned into scarecrows."
"How to cultivate? It's very simple."
The several scarecrows silently looked at the ground under the paper house, revealing gentle smiles.
"Of course, it's to cultivate the shared flesh and blood body beneath our heads!"
The Legendary Four of the Eye Legend heard this and looked down at their feet, suddenly feeling chills.
...
...
Ning Zheng saw this scene, touched his chin, and pondered, the meaning behind these words was quite problematic.
A group of Demon Cultivator disciples went up the mountain.
A group of Demon Cultivator disciples at the foot of the mountain.
He suddenly laughed:
"Do you mean I only got rid of the ones on the mountain, making them perish together, but there's another group here?"
"If this is true, then these powerful families with legitimate inheritance, in order to continue, really have backup plans. They truly have brains!"
He sorted through the current situation.
First, the Demon Cultivator disciples at the foot of the ancestral grave must have gone through a process similar to the Legendary Four of the Eye Legend.
Year-end ancestor worship, then caught and sent here.
Ancestor Qi had hinted in the past that each year-end was an occasion for underhanded strategies, where powerful Demon Cultivator clan members forced some "useless" ones to worship ancestors.
In other words.
The Hidden Vein disciples were the tail-enders of the Demon Cultivator disciples in each generation!
Dizzy and the others were this generation's tail-enders, so they were directly sent into this Hidden Vein.
Obviously, without prospects, the useless ones were sent here.
And why send them here?
Ning Zheng suddenly thought of the answer: waste utilization!
...
On the other side.
The entire game forum blew up.
The emergence of the new plot clearly didn't develop in the expected direction of alchemy, progressing in an unpredictable way.
A group of people were frantically discussing, a group of speculative emperors, analytical pros, deduced the truth and insider of the entire Hidden Vein based on the current world view.
[Nightly Frenzied Cultivation Sixth Body]:
"Never expected, super large foreshadowing! The planner is impressive, Blood Separation Flower, the true usage is here, absolutely groundbreaking!"
"You might not understand, let me tell you, it's now revealed a mysterious slice of our current faction family."
"Too lazy to talk about the deduction process, I'll just tell you the result."
"Our player starting point's Demon Cultivator family is ruthless, an elimination system at the end, each year those whose cultivation isn't up to standard are sent for ancestor worship, continuing from our previous ancestor worship plot."
"We were unaware at the time, so we sent the Legendary Four of the Dizzy, and thus they entered another plot area, becoming Hidden Vein disciples."
"Hidden Vein disciples are generally with mediocre qualifications, just enough to open Three Flowers, possibly unable to complete the Five-Body Realm."
"Even for such useless ones, the family shows affectionate care."
"After all, your lower body can't cultivate, you will age sooner or later, so might as well take your head early, at least you will live for eight hundred years."
"So, the heads of Dizzy and the others came here."
"Why can they still cultivate? If the guess is correct, they have a super large body beneath them!"
"All the heads work together to cultivate this body."
"I think perhaps this body can be called, Thousand-Headed Giant, Thousand-Eyed Demon God!"
"Hidden Vein disciples of the family era, all grafted onto a majestic body for cultivation, over the years, surely an extremely terrifying Flesh and Blood Divine Demon Body!"
"How was this Treasure Body made?"
"I speculate the true usage of Blood Separation Flower! Each generation of Demon Cultivators use the defeated or deceased family members, merge original bones, meridians, blood, and artificially create a Super Giant Holy Body."
"This body is the body's graveyard of the entire Demon Cultivator family, the resting place of family members' corpses."
"I would like to call this body [Zero Ancestor]."
Everyone listened with a shocked face, exclaiming holy crap.
So, this is the deeply rooted, ancient Demon Cultivator with such profound resources??
The benefits are really good.
Even disciples without much potential or prospects are not abandoned, granting you to live eight hundred years.
Look at the sect next door?
Only the cherished direct descendants have their heads kept in jars, able to live eight hundred years with precious nutrient liquid!
How big is the cost?
Ordinary people can't afford it.
But here?
Our family has special treatment, even low-qualified ordinary disciples can use it.
Everyone can live eight hundred years!
Moreover, everyone's heads cultivate a body together, connecting the Five Elements, Four Viscera.
What's this called?
This is called strength in numbers.
If your qualification isn't enough, send to the Hidden Vein.
Here there is no competition, it's like a legendary Peach Blossom Spring for most cultivators!
This is the selfless spirit of shared economy, shared cultivation, fully realized within the family.
Disciples here don't have to worry about dying of old age, quietly living eight hundred years, passing away peacefully!
This is something even the upright sect cultivators next door can't do, but we Demon Path cultivators did, how noble and righteous!
We are the good ones, oh.
This shared body mode, why is it not a community of shared human fate?
New viewers on the hot search just caught the unveiling of this grand world view, minds receiving a huge impact, inexplicably heart-shocked.
This setting is too impressive!
The concept of this decapitated Hidden Vein seems absurd yet with logic, foreshadowed early on.
Previously it was hearsay, now they actually see the planner's divine level creativity, going mad online.
This game planner's creativity is so ahead, they should indeed be hospitalized!
