Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15590 Argument
At this moment, the representative of this family also spoke up: "I also think that we should build a base, but we need to think carefully about where to build this base. In other words, we need to think carefully about how far our base should be from the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Everyone knows how far the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall's attack range is."

His words also attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes turned to Sima Wuyan. Everyone knew that the Sima family had fought against the Ten Thousand Snake Wall, so he should know how far the Ten Thousand Snake Wall's attack range was.

Sima Wuyan had indeed studied the attack of the Ten Thousand Snake Wall. After Sima Lingyun appointed him as the commander, he studied the Ten Thousand Snake Wall. Although he knew that it would be difficult for them to break through the Ten Thousand Snake Wall this time, he still wanted to learn more about it. Understanding the Ten Thousand Snake Wall was the only way to ensure that the disciples in the family would not suffer too many casualties.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Sima Wuyan finally spoke up: "I didn't participate in the attack on the Wood Spirit Realm, but I saw some data about the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall in some family records. The Ten Thousand Serpent Wall generally has two types of attack methods. One is the attack of energy weapons. Their energy weapons are quite powerful, with an attack range of about 10,000 li. Within 10,000 li, the entire area is within the attack range of their energy weapons. Each strike of their energy weapons will cause casualties to disciples at the Shi level. Of course, if a disciple at the Shi level is careful, he can still dodge. Their second type of attack is their vine attack. Their vine attack range is also very far, about 100 li. And their vine attack is even more powerful. When our family attacked before, we couldn't even get within 100 li of them."

Everyone was taken aback by Sima Wuyan's words, and their expressions turned serious. Daoist Qingyu frowned and asked, "Do you mean we should build our base ten thousand miles away from the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall?"

Sima Wuyan said in a deep voice, "It's also possible if we don't build it in a place ten thousand miles away. We can use magic artifacts, large magic artifacts, and then advance forward until we are within ten thousand miles of them. However, in this way, we will have to face their energy weapon attacks all the time. Although the power of their energy weapon attacks is only so great, it is probably not a good thing to let their energy weapons attack our large magic artifacts all the time. Moreover, as soon as our disciples leave the large magic artifacts, they will face energy weapon attacks. If we are not careful, there may be danger. We must be careful."

Master Qingyu frowned, and after a long while he finally spoke: "What you say makes sense. Ten thousand miles is not far for us. If we build our base outside the attack range of their Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, they will be unable to do anything to us. We will also be more at ease when we attack. What do you all think?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they all possessed large magical artifacts, it would be troublesome if ordinary disciples at the power level were attacked as soon as they used their artifacts. If things went wrong, there could be casualties. It would be undesirable for casualties to occur before the attack even officially began. Therefore, building the base tens of thousands of miles away was feasible. Although tens of thousands of miles seemed like a long distance, it should not be forgotten that they all possessed divine light. As long as they used their divine light, tens of thousands of miles was nothing at all.

Master Qingyu said, "We want to build a base, but what kind of base should we build? Everyone needs to think about this carefully." After he finished speaking, he turned to look at everyone, and everyone began to discuss it.

There are many types of bases, including temporary and permanent ones. Temporary bases are straightforward; they can be simple, using basic defensive formations and a teleportation array. However, building a permanent base is more complicated. First, you need to carefully consider what the permanent base will look like, then decide on the materials to use, and finally determine the formations to employ. Building a permanent base takes a long time. Of course, once completed, such a base can be used indefinitely and can serve as a bridgehead against the Wood Spirit Realm. That's why Master Qingyu asked everyone what kind of base they wanted to build.

Sima Wuyan then spoke up, “Commander, I think we should establish a permanent base. To be honest, the defense of the temporary base is too weak. When our family fought against the people of the Seven Realms, we knew very well that the people of the Seven Realms now have not only defensive capabilities, but also offensive capabilities. They will gather a large group of people and then integrate their strength to attack together. In this way, their attack power is extremely strong, not weaker than that of a royal-level expert. Even our family's Supreme Elder couldn't handle such a team. If we build a temporary base, and they really attack us, our temporary base may not be able to withstand their attack. So I think we should build a permanent base.”

Upon hearing his words, no one spoke. Instead, they exchanged glances. The meaning behind their glances was quite clear: they didn't entirely believe Sima Wuyan's words. They knew that the Wood Spirit Realm used to belong to the Sima family. Although the Sima family claimed they wanted to make the Wood Spirit Realm a public space, it was impossible for them not to want to reclaim it. If they truly wanted to take back the Wood Spirit Realm, then Sima Wuyan's purpose in having this permanent base built wouldn't be so simple. Would they want to eventually turn this permanent base into their own, so they could better control the Wood Spirit Realm? Because of these thoughts, they exchanged glances and didn't immediately agree with Sima Wuyan's words.

Master Qingyu frowned but remained silent. He also had this thought. Although the Sima family claimed they wanted to turn the Wood Spirit Realm into a public interface, they shouldn't forget that the Jade Bamboo Continent was the closest place to the Wood Spirit Realm. Their family had a natural advantage when dealing with the Wood Spirit Realm. If they really built a permanent base, it might actually benefit the Sima family in the future.

However, this time, they really wronged Sima Wuyan. Sima Wuyan's suggestion was genuinely without any selfish motives. His mindset was different from these people's. Sima Lingyun had told him before he even left that their attack might be fruitless, while Qingyu Daoist and the others might think that the Wood Spirit Realm was easy to conquer. So their ideas were different from the very beginning. Sima Wuyan's suggestion to establish a permanent base was actually to prepare for the next attack on the Wood Spirit Realm. A permanent base would be built right in front of the Wood Spirit Realm, allowing for attacks at any time, thus maintaining constant pressure on the Wood Spirit Realm. This was Sima Wuyan's idea. He never considered taking the Wood Spirit Realm back to the Sima family. He was very clear that it was almost impossible for them to take the Wood Spirit Realm back to the Sima family.

Sima Wuyan believed that it was impossible to take back the Wood Spirit Realm because of the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. Back then, the Meteorite Domain couldn't break through the Ten Thousand Divine Beast Bone Wall, and now they shouldn't even think about breaking through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. If they couldn't even break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, then what was the point of talking about taking back the Wood Spirit Realm? It was simply impossible. Therefore, Sima Wuyan never even considered taking back the Wood Spirit Realm.

Seeing that no one spoke, and noticing their expressions and the occasional glances directed at him, Sima Wuyan immediately understood their thoughts. His face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "You all don't think that my suggestion to build a permanent base is for the sake of our Sima family, do you? We've already said that once this Wood Spirit Realm is conquered, it will become a public interface, and it will no longer have anything to do with our Sima family. So whether this base is permanent or temporary, it makes no difference to us. It will not benefit our Sima family in any way, so please don't have any wild ideas."

Upon hearing Sima Wuyan's words, everyone exchanged embarrassed glances, though they didn't show it. Master Qingyu coughed lightly and then said somewhat awkwardly, "Elder Sima, please don't misunderstand. We didn't mean that. We were just thinking that establishing a permanent base would take too long and require too many resources. Wouldn't that be too wasteful? Even if the Seven Realms have some offensive capabilities, do you think they could really attack our base? They probably don't have that kind of guts. Would the Seven Realms dare attack such a large army? I think it's impossible. What do you all think?" Master Qingyu then glanced at the others, who all nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing what Master Qingyu said, Sima Wuyan knew that what he had said earlier was correct. He became even angrier, but he also knew that he could not say anything more, because the more he said, the less these people would believe him. He did not speak again, but simply nodded and said, "Elder Qingyu is right. Let everyone decide what kind of base to build."

Upon hearing Sima Wuyan's words, Qingyu and the others exchanged glances. Then, an elder from one of the families spoke up, "Let's build a temporary base then. Perhaps we can end this battle soon enough. Building a permanent base is indeed too wasteful of time and resources. Let's not even talk about how long it will take; just the resources needed to build a permanent base are an unimaginable number. And where will these resources come from? That's the question. Who will provide them? If no one can provide them, then this permanent base simply cannot be built. In contrast, building a temporary base requires far fewer resources. We can divide them among ourselves and manage to provide them. So I think it's better to build a temporary base. What do you all think?" After he finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and they all nodded, because he had touched on the most crucial point in establishing a permanent base.
