Bringing the farm to another world

As soon as Gu Wuzheng finished speaking, a blue light suddenly appeared in the distant void, and at the same time, the alarm at the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall sounded again. This surprised everyone. Elder He and the others were somewhat surprised. Although the people from the Divine Realm had been attacking them frequently in recent years, it was very rare for them to be attacked twice in one day. This surprised them greatly.

The next moment, the blue light had reached about a hundred cities outside the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Then the blue light disappeared, and a figure appeared there. To be precise, it was a man and a horse. The man was wearing a full set of cavalry plate armor, holding a large shield in one hand and a knight's lance in the other. The lance had a thin tip but became thicker towards the back. He held it in one hand and it looked very heavy.

After the knight stopped, he looked at the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, and finally glanced at the Thousand Machine Star hovering above it. Then, the knight pointed his spear at the Thousand Machine Star, as if he were challenging it.

Upon seeing this situation, Elder He and the others understood almost instantly why the knight had come. The blue armor he wore further confirmed that the knight had come for the army that had been defeated. Clearly, the knight was not satisfied and had come to settle scores with the defeated army.

Upon seeing the challenge, Gu Wuzheng's expression changed. He was in the process of requesting to fight when Elder He's projection appeared in front of him. Elder He said, "See? The enemy is challenging you. Go and fight."

Gu Wuzheng responded, and the next moment he immediately ordered, "First, attack." At this moment, Elder He also cut off the communication.

At Gu Wuzheng's command, Qianji Star immediately sprang into action. It rolled forward, charging straight at the knight. The knight, however, stood motionless, yet his aura grew increasingly powerful. A flash of blue light, and the knight was already in front of Qianji Star. Simultaneously, his lance had somehow pierced into the star. Qianji Star was now about a hundred meters in diameter, making the knight appear tiny in comparison. But now, the knight's aura completely overwhelmed Qianji Star. He coldly snorted... Then he extended his lance, glanced at Qianji Star, and then vanished in a flash of blue light. Only then did Qianji Star react. The next moment, Gu Wuzheng and the others appeared on the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Suddenly, a red light flashed inside Qianji Star, and the next moment, Qianji Star transformed into a huge fireball and exploded. This was something Gu Wuzheng had never expected. He really hadn't expected that someone could blow up Qianji Star in one go. This situation left them all stunned, not knowing what had happened.

At this moment, Elder He's expression was extremely grim. He glanced at the destroyed Thousand Machine Star and then muttered, "Indeed formidable. Even a random knight could destroy Thousand Machine Star. Truly impressive."

Gu Wuzheng and his group also looked very ugly. They had just been smug. Although they had said before that they should not underestimate the people of the Divine Realm, they had never suffered a loss in their previous encounters with them. Because of this, although they said they should not underestimate the people of the Divine Realm, they actually looked down on them.

But this time, the incident dealt them a severe blow. The knights' attack was simply too fast; they hadn't even had time to react. Moreover, one of their lances destroyed Thousand Machine Star with a single strike—such power was truly formidable. It's important to understand that Thousand Machine Star's interior had been completely destroyed. According to the Heavenly Sphere's partitions within Thousand Machine Star, its interior was utterly ruined, with virtually no value for repair, so it simply self-destructed. Before self-destructing, Thousand Machine Star teleported Gu Wuzheng and the others to the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, and then immediately exploded. This left Gu Wuzheng and his companions somewhat bewildered.

At this moment, Elder He appeared before Gu Wuzheng and his group. He glanced at the members of the First Team, whose faces were grim. He knew how they felt. They were initially happy with their victory, but they never expected the enemy's retaliation to come so quickly. They didn't even have a chance to react before their Thousand Machine Star was destroyed. This was hard for them to accept. After all, they had dreamed of making a name for themselves in the Divine Realm with Thousand Machine Star. But who could have imagined that they would die before they even got started? They had only had Thousand Machine Star for a few days, and it was destroyed. It was like a slap in the face. It would be strange if Gu Wuzheng and his group looked happy.

Elder He looked at Gu Wuzheng's expression and smiled slightly, "Don't be sad. The ones who just arrived must be experts from the Divine Realm. They've come for revenge. Besides, the destruction of Thousand Machine Star this time isn't your fault. It's because our Thousand Machine Star still has many flaws in its design. These will be fed back to the Divine Machine Hall as feedback, and the Divine Machine Hall will improve Thousand Machine Star. In fact, after this battle, many shortcomings of Thousand Machine Star have been discovered. For example, their energy weapons' attack power is insufficient. For example, Thousand Machine Star's reaction speed is too slow when facing the enemy's divine light attacks. For example, Thousand Machine Star's defense is insufficient, etc. These are all problems. Feeding these problems back to the Divine Machine Hall is a good thing for our sect." Upon hearing Elder He's words, Gu Wuzheng and the others nodded in agreement. Then, Gu Wuzheng shook his head and said, "No, this is not just because of Qianji Star, but also because of us. We have fought against the people of the Divine Realm several times, but because we did not suffer any losses in these battles, we underestimated them. We thought that the people of the Divine Realm were nothing special, so we did not take them seriously. That's why this situation has occurred. We will reflect on this matter."

Elder He smiled and said, "It's best that you think that way. People who know how to reflect on themselves will improve. You did very well. Alright, go and rest." Gu Wuzheng and the others responded and then returned directly to the base. Elder He watched Gu Wuzheng and the others leave, and a smile appeared on his face. This time, the destruction of Qianji Star was not necessarily a bad thing for them. At the very least, it exposed all the shortcomings of Qianji Star, which they could then improve upon.

Elder He then wrote down all of Qianji's shortcomings in a letter and sent it to Wen Yuming. After doing this, he went to rest. Meanwhile, Gu Wuzheng and the others returned to their rooms in the base and immediately entered the Real Illusion. They began to cultivate in the Real Illusion, and they had to be able to react immediately if the enemy attacked them with the speed of divine light.

However, human reaction takes time, but the speed of light is simply too fast. If the enemy suddenly attacks them with divine light, it is almost impossible for them to react in time, especially when the two sides are very close. After all, a distance of about 100 miles is a very short distance for divine light. At such a close distance, it is very difficult for them to make an effective reaction before the enemy rushes in front of them, unless they react as soon as the enemy makes a move. Even then, it is only a matter of reacting; how to deal with it is extremely difficult.

Gu Wuzheng originally wanted everyone to react faster, so that they could react immediately when the enemy made a move. However, he soon realized that this wouldn't work. You never know when the enemy will attack you, so if you try to react when the enemy attacks, it will definitely be too late. He had to think of another way. But how?

Gu Wuzheng and the others fell silent. Gu Wuzheng glanced at everyone and then spoke up, "Let's all talk about how to withstand such an attack from the enemy. Although we have now combined our attacks with divine light, our use of the divine light seems a bit crude. We can't compare with the enemy, so directly competing with them in speed puts us at a disadvantage. Do we have any other ways to block this attack enhanced by the enemy's divine light?"

A moment of silence fell over everyone before Gu Wuzheng finally spoke, “Everyone, take your time to think about it. And I think it’s not just us who are thinking about it; there must be many people in the sect who are thinking about this issue right now. After all, we are indeed not as good as our enemies in the use of divine light, so we are not in a hurry.” Everyone nodded, but their faces remained expressionless.

Just then, Shi Jie suddenly spoke up: "The enemy is using divine light to enhance their attacks, so can we also use divine light for defense? Their divine light enhancement can break through ordinary defenses, but they can't break through divine light defenses, right? After all, they are using divine light, and we are using divine light as well. If we had a defense that could be used with divine light, wouldn't that solve the problem of them attacking us with divine light? This seems to be the reason why the sect hasn't directly attacked the Divine Realm. We can gather more information about the Divine Realm here. Like this time, their surprise attack with divine light is rare. Obviously, what the sect gathered before—that the people of the Divine Realm would use divine light to travel—is incorrect. They can now use divine light in battle, and they use it very skillfully. We must guard against this. Is everyone okay with that?"

Upon hearing Shi Jie's words, Gu Wuzheng and the others were all taken aback, then their eyes lit up. Gu Wuzheng then said, "That makes sense. Using divine light against divine light is indeed a good method. Defensive devices are actually quite easy to make, but the most important thing is how well they are made. Moreover, I think that from now on, we must also learn to completely integrate divine light into our battles. Only in this way can we, like the people in the Divine Realm, easily and freely use divine light, whether attacking or retreating. This is the most important thing." (End of Chapter)
