Outside of the Quintuplicate dungeon.

The players in Newbie Valley were indeed blessed with a distinct advantage, not only because of their excellent location, but also due to the proximity of such a large resource point.

When the Daxia Alliance announced on the official forum that they were about to tackle this dungeon, the players from the other nine newbie villages were green with envy.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since the last open beta.

In the game, one and a half months had passed!

Such a lengthy period was enough for the Daxia Alliance to make all the necessary early preparations and assemble an elite player group.

Of course, there were pros and cons.

The downside was that some players from the open beta used the guide and their convenience to rapidly grow in the game.

After all, putting actual combat experience aside, with enough experience points, the martial arts obtained from Er Ha could already enhance players to be Fourth Grade Martial Artists in the Under Heaven Realm!

The only reason they couldn't advance further was the lack of better Cultivation Techniques!

Therefore, the Daxia Alliance was determined to acquire the Quintuplicate legacy!

On the edge of the Eight Hundred Miles of Qin Mountain, a large army of players slowly advanced, numbering at the very least a few thousand.

Although their formation was loose and noisy, they were already a powerful force capable of driving away any Loose Cultivators who chanced upon them.

"Qin Mountain County is still as chaotic as ever."

Shen Mo gazed at his own army of players and suddenly heaved a sigh, "With our power, we still can't fully occupy the entirety of Qin Mountain County..."

After the disaster brought on by the East Sea Swordsman, the Blood Wolf Sect suffered tremendous losses, with the Sect Master and all the elders wiped out, plunging into a crisis close to dissolution.

Moreover, with the presence of the Quintuplicate dungeon, numerous Loose Cultivator Martial Artists poured in, turning the place into absolute chaos.

Just a month ago, the new Sect Master of the Blood Wolf Sect was finally elected. He announced the dissolution of the sect's title, withdrew from Qin Mountain County, and wholly joined the White Tiger Sect seeking protection.

And the White Tiger Sect... after the defeat of the White Tiger Ancestor, didn't dare to offend and seemed willing to cede Qin Mountain County entirely to the East Sea Swordsman.

As for Qin Mountain County... it had descended into complete chaos, with various factions rising within each county city, villages forming fortresses for self-protection, and countless brigands emerging, terrorizing the region.

Xie Biqi knew that among these chaotic forces, several were supported by the Daxia Alliance, who had also managed to conquer a few territories.

However, establishing a medium-sized sect and completely occupying Qin Mountain County was beyond the Daxia Alliance's capability.

There might be a glimmer of hope if all the players in Newbie Valley could be united.

Otherwise, they could only continue to wait, waiting for the open beta players of the Daxia Alliance to grow stronger.

"In fact, we have three thousand players in our Daxia Alliance. The results of the first census show that most have already advanced to ninth-rank martial artists in the game, on par with Tianyuan Sect's elite Red-Ear Army in terms of cultivation. However, when it comes to command discipline and actual combat experience, they fall far short," Xie Biqi said. "But... experience can always be learned over time, and in the future, occupying Qin Mountain County and even Dingzhou won't be difficult!"

Players' upgrades, as it stands, seem limitless.

The future development is unimaginable!

"I've never doubted that," said Shen Mo as he gave his orders. "Let's establish camp here and call over the strategy team!"

Shen Mo couldn't risk letting the Daxia Army charge directly into the Quintuplicate dungeon—disturbing the East Sea Swordsman too early could lead to the annihilation of the three thousand players. Although it wouldn't be a total loss, it would certainly be a serious blow.

Before long, several veteran players started assembling within the camp.

Jiang Shang, Zhang Xuanyi, Xu Ran, Luo Xiaoyi, He Zudao, Huang Tianyao, Lin Fan... all were veterans from the first and second tests, mixed with a few high-level players from the third test.

Even Zhong Shenxiu was included!

No mistake!

Zhong Shenxiu, under the ID "Lord Shenxiu," also mingled in the group of high-level players, curiously looking all around.

"Brother Shenxiu!"

Shen Mo was quite down to earth, "I need to thank you for coming to lend a hand this time, just say whatever you need…"

He really wanted to recruit this high-level player into the Daxia Alliance, but alas, the other party was merely offering a friendly helping hand, with no intention of revealing their identity in real life.

"I'm good friends with the girls from Alluring City, it's only right that I help."

Zhong Shenxiu spoke amicably, "And… since your Daxia Alliance is willing to open up the exclusive dungeon map…"

He made it sound as if he was here to take advantage of the map.

"Haha… Brother Shenxiu is straightforward. If we get our hands on high-grade cultivation techniques this time, you're welcome to copy them, no problem at all,"

Shen Mo said.

At Er Ha's place, only original cultivation techniques were collected, copies weren't of much value.

Of course, this wasn't an absolute.

In fact, the Emperor and the cabinet were also very concerned about the Daxia Alliance's operation this time.

Even within the Special Review Bureau, there was a very special program—they had created a new team known as the "Standby Squad," whose members were mostly military veterans selected from the army, with good discipline, high compliance, and no issues in background checks.

They had already begun to self-study the basic cultivation techniques and theories about meridians and acupoints under the guidance of some veteran martial artists and players…

Although the techniques from the game are nothing but fancy moves in the real world, previous experiments had proven that.

Even if you're not a player, as long as you master the cultivation technique and then obtain elixir pills exchanged by players, you can still achieve superhuman abilities!

Compared to players who have another world to fall back on and are difficult to control, members of the Standby Squad, who don't qualify as players but possess superhuman abilities and can have their backgrounds checked, are naturally more trusted by the higher-ups.

Even favored with resources.

For instance, Shen Mo had already redeemed a large number of elixir pills from players in the special review bureau and invested them into the Standby Squad's training, eliciting some dissatisfaction.

This time, the Daxia Alliance sought to obtain the Five Great Inheritances partly for their own development.

A bigger reason was to acquire stronger cultivation techniques for the Standby Squad to practice in the real world!

After all, resources are limited. It's not worth it to waste them on low-grade cultivation techniques.

If learning, it has to be the best.

But the best cultivation technique players currently have only goes up to the level of a Fourth Grade Martial Artist!

And within the Five Great Dungeon, any one of the inheritances is at least Third Grade, with the potential of ascending to Second Grade, or even to the Top of First Grade!

That's why the inheritance from a Third Grade Daoist is even more popular.

After all, Daoists are stronger than martial artists, with even more insidious methods, almost on par with immortals!

"Alright, let's get started."

Shen Mo suppressed the miscellaneous thoughts in his heart and spread a map on the table, "This is part of the terrain map of the Five Great Dungeons. Our Daxia Army can't possibly enter the dungeon completely; at most, we can seal up a few entrances to Qin Mountain. It's a huge risk... If we anger the East Sea Swordsman, we're all done for. Luckily, we all have perfect resurrection counts on us, so we can take a gamble."

This was also the reason other sects didn't dare to deploy troops to seal off Qin Mountain.

Hearing this, Zhong Shenxiu touched his nose, his expression a little strange...
