Building A Sect From Scratch

[Fourth Disaster + ensemble cast with no romance] On the gaming forums, a crowd of veteran players worked themselves into a frenzy, tearing into the open-world MMORPG cultivation game Records of the Ten Continents, which claimed it could crush the Big Three, for days on end. Little did they know that once the servers opened, the Big Three really did look like amateurs next to it! The sweeping lands of another world, the Ten Continents within the seas and the Three Isles beyond, and a map so vast it made your head spin. A wondrous world of immortal heroes and legends, populated by gods, ghosts, strange beasts, and demons...

And a number-one cultivation sect built from scratch, with the blood, sweat, and tears of countless players!

“Master, Master, why do people call our sect the number-one cultivation sect in the world?”

A newbie glanced at the real-time player count of five million and scratched their head in confusion.

“You call an organization of at least five million people a ‘cultivation sect’?”
