Bringing the farm to another world

At this moment, a monk spoke up: "I think we should still attack the Seven Realms. After all, the Seven Realms is their lair. We know where their lair is, so why attack the Wood Spirit Realm instead of their lair? That would be putting the cart before the horse. So I think we should attack the Seven Realms."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback, then nodded. They all recognized the monk, who was none other than Master Kongming, the representative of the One Buddha Sect. Moreover, they could see that the One Buddha Sect had been consistently opposing the One Dao Sect. The One Dao Sect's intention was to attack the Wood Spirit Realm, a point evident from Qingyu's words, which strongly agreed with Sima Zhong's assessment. Now, Master Kongming was proposing an attack on the Seven Universes Realm, clearly indicating their opposition to the One Dao Sect. Therefore, although everyone nodded, no one openly expressed support for the One Buddha Sect.

Qingyu glanced at Zen Master Kongming without saying anything, then looked at everyone and said, "If anyone has any other thoughts, please speak up, and we can discuss them together." After speaking, Qingyu looked at everyone and waited for their answers.

The group exchanged glances, but no one spoke. Then a hoarse voice suddenly rang out: "I think we should attack from both sides simultaneously. We have enough troops now, so why choose one? Wouldn't it be better to attack both of their realms at the same time? This would also disperse their forces. I really don't believe that the Seven Realms have enough troops to fight us. Their forces are there for all to see. Many people in the Seven Realms are no match for us, and they can't go to the battlefield anyway. So we can only rely on their existing strength. And right now, they probably don't have many forces capable of fighting us. Wouldn't it be better for us to attack both of their realms at the same time?"

The man's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he were being choked and barely able to speak. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was a Taoist priest. However, this Taoist priest was very different from Master Qingyu. This Taoist priest was wearing a black Taoist robe. Although there was nothing wrong with the style of the robe, it gave people a ghostly feeling. This man was the representative of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect, the Evil Ghost Taoist. Once everyone saw that it was the Evil Ghost Taoist, they understood. The Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect was originally about controlling ghosts, so it was not surprising that he had such an aura.

His words elicited nods from everyone. The Daoist Sect and the Buddhist Sect were currently vying for power, so let them fight it out. However, they would also be sending troops in this great war. It would be bad if their battles dragged down their armies. After all, even if the sects and families didn't send their elite troops, no one wanted their army to suffer losses because of their battles. Therefore, attacking both realms simultaneously was the best option. This way, the Buddhist Sect and the Daoist Sect could be separated, which would be even better. They wouldn't have any conflicts, and everyone else would be safer.

It was because of this idea that everyone nodded in agreement with the Evil Ghost Taoist's proposal. Then another person spoke up: "I support the Evil Ghost Taoist's proposal. We can attack the Wood Spirit Realm and the Seven Universe Realm at the same time. I propose that the army attacking the Seven Universe Realm be commanded by Zen Master Kongming of the One Buddha Sect, while the army attacking the Wood Spirit Realm be commanded by Daoist Qingyu."

The speaker had a very pleasant voice. Everyone looked over and saw that the speaker was a scholar-like man. He looked to be in his thirties, with a fair complexion, no beard, and a smiling face. Many people recognized him because he was a representative of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Among the eight major sects, only the Myriad Manifestations Sect studied the most diverse subjects. They learned everything and were strong in all aspects of their traditions, which is why they were called the Myriad Manifestations Sect. This scholar was named Zhang Yingyu, an elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. He was skilled in using the zither to fight. It was said that his zither music could pierce through gold and split stone, or it could silently kill people without a sound. It was extremely powerful.

This time, his proposal directly brought the conflict between the Buddhist Sect and the Taoist Sect to the forefront. He made it clear that he wanted the two sects to separate. He said that the two sects were the two strongest among the eight major sects. They could not compete with the two sects for command, and they would not compete with the two sects. However, they could not fight among themselves. He said that if the two sects wanted to fight among themselves, they could do so after this matter was over. They should not involve the two sects. They should not fight among themselves after this matter was over. They should separate.

His suggestion was immediately met with approval from many. "Yes, aren't you two sects going to fight? Then you can find time to fight yourselves. Don't involve us. We don't want to get involved in your conflict. If you two are together during this attack, you'll fight endlessly, which will inevitably drag us down. We don't want that. So you should separate."

Everyone understood the meaning behind Zhang Yingyu's proposal, and they all nodded in support. Zen Master Kongming and Daoist Qingyu also understood Zhang Yingyu's meaning. They exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly flashing with anger, but neither of them reacted. Qingyu then spoke up, "This proposal is good. Now, let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree, please raise your hands." He then looked at the people below, and everyone from the various sects and families raised their hands; no one disagreed. Seeing this, Daoist Qingyu nodded and said, "Good, everyone agrees. Then it's settled. We will attack both realms simultaneously. I will lead one team to attack the Wood Spirit Realm, and Zen Master Space will lead another team to attack the Seven Universe Realm. As for how the army should be allocated, what are your thoughts? Do you wish to make a choice?"

The group exchanged glances. If they were to choose, it would be tantamount to asking them to take sides, which they didn't want to do. So, for a moment, everyone was in a dilemma. At this moment, Zhang Yingyu spoke up again: "I think we should draw lots. That would be fairer."

Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Daoist Qingyu also nodded and said, "Alright, let's draw lots. The sect and the families will all be separated. Someone, bring over a magic artifact that can block spiritual energy." Immediately, a disciple from a Daoist sect responded and went out. After a short while, he returned with a jade jar. This jade jar was not very large, and it had a lid on the mouth. This jar could indeed block spiritual energy.

Once the jar was brought over, Master Qingyu said, "Put the slips of paper with the names of each sect written on them inside, and Zen Master Kongming and I will draw them." The disciples of the First Sect immediately responded, and then they brought paper and pen and wrote down the names of the other six sects on the spot. Only one name was written on each piece of paper. After writing, they folded the paper and put it into the jar.

Master Qingyu and Zen Master Kongming began to draw lots. Master Qingyu drew one first and opened it to find it was from the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Zen Master Kongming also drew one and opened it to find it was from the Unity Sect. Then Master Qingyu drew another one and this time he drew the One Qi Rising Sun Sect, while Zen Master Kongming drew the Myriad Ghosts Sect. Then Master Qingyu drew the Myriad Swords Sect and Zen Master Kongming drew the Myriad Beasts Sect.

After the six major sects finished drawing lots, it was the turn of the various families. Daoist Qingyu and Zen Master Kongming took turns drawing lots. All 108 families knew which team they would be on this time. They didn't have any special reactions, since it was all decided by drawing lots. They didn't want to choose a side, as that would not benefit them at all.

After the lottery was over, Master Qingyu looked at everyone and said, "Alright, now that everything is resolved, we'll prepare to send out our troops. Everyone, go back and prepare. The army will be assembled in a month. This time, the army will be divided into two directions. Those who are going to attack the Seven Realms will assemble in the direction of attacking the Seven Realms, and those who are going to attack the Wood Spirit Realm will assemble in the direction of attacking the Wood Spirit Realm. The continent closest to the Seven Realms is the Giant Wave Liu Family, so we'll assemble there. As for the Wood Spirit Realm, the continent closest to the Wood Spirit Realm is the Jade Bamboo Liang Family, so we'll assemble there."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Daoist Qingyu continued, "Our primary objective this time is to deal with the people of the Seven Realms. Whether it's attacking the Wood Spirit Realm or the Seven Realms, the ultimate goal is the same: to eliminate the threat from the Seven Realms. Therefore, I hope everyone will give their all this time. How about this: since we've split into two teams, let's have a competition to see which team can break through their target realm first. What do you think?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard him say that, but then their eyes lit up. Men are sometimes like that; they really like to gamble. This time, they wanted to have a good competition, which is why they had such expressions. Even Zen Master Kongming looked at Daoist Qingyu and asked, "What does Daoist want to compete in?" He wanted to know what the reward was.

Master Qingyu thought for a moment, then said, "The Sima family said that if we conquer the Wood Spirit Realm, it will become a public interface. So why don't we use the Wood Spirit Realm as a reward? Whoever wins will get the development rights to the seventh level of the Wood Spirit Realm, while the losing team will only get the development rights to the third level. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded, thinking his suggestion was excellent. This way, they wouldn't have to contribute anything; the reward of the development rights to the Wood Spirit Realm would be perfect. In reality, these so-called development rights were just benefits. Their so-called development meant going to the Wood Spirit Realm and robbing it of all its valuable resources. The winning side would get to rob more from the Wood Spirit Realm, while the losing side would get less. So, the reward was actually quite good.

Of course, if they failed to conquer the Wood Spirit Realm, then there would be nothing more to say, because that would mean their operation had failed, and there would be no reward. Therefore, everyone felt that this competition was very fair. (End of Chapter)
