Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15597 Arrival
Upon hearing the general's words, Sima Wuyan immediately understood his meaning. If it were just one family sending troops, Sima Wuyan's plan would be flawless: they would send a portion of their forces to the Wood Spirit Realm to establish a temporary base, while the rest would wait in the rear. However, this was an allied force composed of people from different sects and families. Their mindset was completely different from that of a single family's army. They didn't want to work harder or face any more danger. Therefore, his plan was unworkable. Who could Qingyu Daoist send to build the temporary base? The people sent would not only have to work harder but would also face greater danger. No one would be willing to go. Therefore, Qingyu Daoist had no choice but to send everyone together.

Having figured all this out, Sima Wuyan couldn't help but sigh and say, "The patriarch told me before we came that our attack this time would not yield any results. Firstly, the people of the Seven Realms are not so easy to deal with. Their Ten Thousand Serpent Wall can replace the Ten Thousand Divine Beast Bone Wall, which means that this Ten Thousand Serpent Wall is very difficult to break through. Therefore, it will be very difficult for us to break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall. If we cannot break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall, then our plan will not succeed. The second reason is that the allied forces cannot be united. Everyone has their own ulterior motives. How can we possibly succeed? Judging from the current situation, this is indeed the case."

Upon hearing his words, everyone else fell silent. Sima Wuyan continued, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Just remember your tasks. First, be proactive during the attack, but don't actually go all out. Just make a show of it. Second, ensure that our soldiers don't suffer too many casualties."

Everyone responded, and Sima Wuyan continued, "Alright, everyone go back and prepare for our departure tomorrow." The others responded, bowed to Sima Wuyan, and then turned and left. Sima Wuyan sat alone in his study for a long time. He felt utterly powerless. He hated the Allied Forces' current style of doing things, but he was powerless to change it.

The army began to assemble early the next morning, but not all of them were gathered together. Instead, representatives from various families and sects were assembled. Of course, those sent by smaller families were all gathered with the larger families they were affiliated with. Thus, the army was divided into several battle teams. Daoist Qingyu stayed with the army of the First Sect. After glancing around, he directly sent a message to the leaders and elders of the various sects and families: "Everyone, are you all ready? We are about to depart."

Everyone hurriedly replied, and after confirming that all the family members were ready, Daoist Qingyu finally spoke, "Alright, let's set off." With this order, the army began to depart, heading towards the Wood Spirit Realm. After they left the Jade Bamboo Continent, they sped up, each one transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the void.

Liang Wu watched the army leave before letting out a long breath. He then turned to a man standing beside him and said, "Go, take stock of the losses the family has suffered these past few days. Go." The man immediately responded and turned to leave.

After that person left, Liang Wu returned to his room. Upon returning, he immediately took out a small teleportation array, wrote a message on a jade slip, and placed it on the array. A flash of white light, and the jade slip disappeared. Meanwhile, in a small room on another continent, Liang Huan, dressed like an ordinary rogue cultivator, suddenly had a thought. The next moment, a jade slip appeared in his hand. He probed the jade slip with his spiritual power and saw the following: "The army has left, but do not return to the Jade Bamboo Array. Conceal your identities. Your family members have offended the Myriad Manifestations Sect. We don't know if they will retaliate against us. You must return only after you are certain of your safety. Do not return before safety is confirmed. Also, when I write this letter, I will write four characters at the beginning: 'Jade Bamboo Flourishing.' Only if you see these four characters will it be a letter from me. If these four characters are not present, it means I may be in trouble. Someone has obtained my communication array and is impersonating me to write this letter to you. Do not be fooled."

Upon seeing the contents of the jade slip, Liang Huan's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected his family to offend the Myriad Manifestations Sect, one of the eight great sects. Although his family was under the Sima family's control, if the Myriad Manifestations Sect were to secretly wipe out the Sima family, would the Sima family really risk a falling out with the sect for their sake? They would likely immediately support another family to replace them, or even directly send their own people to occupy the Jade Continent. The heads of those powerful families were also very covetous of the continents held by smaller families like theirs. Therefore, if the Myriad Manifestations Sect were to attack their family, the Sima family wouldn't intervene. This meant that the Sima family's situation was truly dangerous.

Thinking of this, Liang Huan's face grew even more grim. He truly hadn't expected his family to encounter such danger, but he was powerless to do anything about it. With that thought, he let out a long sigh and secretly resolved that he must take good care of the family's disciples and ensure that nothing happened to them. They might be the Liang family's last hope.

Meanwhile, Qingyu Daoist and his group continued flying forward. After about five days, they reached the outer edge of the Wood Spirit Realm. When they were ten thousand miles outside the Wood Spirit Realm, they encountered the scouts sent by the Sima family. Sima Wuyan first sent someone to meet the scouts and summoned the scout team leader to his presence. This scout team leader was a cultivator who looked to be in his forties. He was not tall and was very thin, but his eyes gleamed with a sharp light, making it clear at a glance that he was extremely clever.

This man was named Sima Mingzhi. Upon seeing Sima Wuyan, Sima Mingzhi immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, General." Sima Wuyan nodded and then asked, "Sima Mingzhi, how is the situation?"

Sima Mingzhi said, "Reporting to the general, it seems that the Ten Thousand Snake Wall has been reinforced with more guards and manpower. In the past few days, we have also seen some battle teams training outside the Ten Thousand Snake Wall. We dare not approach, so we can only guard here."

Sima Wuyan nodded and said, "Alright, you may all leave and get some rest." Sima Mingzhi responded, and then they directly said to Sima Wuyan, "Thank you, General." He then withdrew. It should be noted that Sima Wuyan was currently sitting in his own imperial carriage, which was quite spacious. Just as Sima Mingzhi left and Sima Wuyan was preparing for the meeting, he heard a disciple's voice coming from the doorway: "Reporting, General, Elder Qingyu requests your presence at a meeting."

Sima Wuyan replied, "Alright, I'll go right away." The disciple responded, and then Sima Wuyan moved and stepped out of his imperial carriage. He then put away the carriage and flew directly to Daoist Qingyu's location. Daoist Qingyu's location was a royal palace, and Daoist Qingyu was a royal palace-level expert.

When Sima Wuyan arrived at Master Qingyu's palace, it was very beautiful. It was circular in shape, which was quite unique. It was three stories high. When Sima Wuyan arrived at the palace, the young Taoist boy at the gate immediately bowed to him and then led him into the main hall. As soon as you enter, you can see a large hall. In the middle of the hall, there is a large character "Dao" (道). In front of this character, there is a futon, and Master Qingyu is sitting on the futon.

In front of Master Qingyu, there were some prayer cushions arranged in an arc. The young Taoist led Sima Wuyan to a prayer cushion and sat down before leaving the main hall. There were already quite a few people in the main hall, each with a prayer cushion. After Sima Wuyan sat down, the young Taoist led the others into the main hall. Before long, everyone had arrived.

Once everyone had arrived, Master Qingyu coughed lightly and then looked at everyone, saying, "Alright, everyone's here. Let's talk about what we're going to do next. We're currently located tens of thousands of miles away from the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall in the Wood Spirit Realm. At this distance, the energy weapons of the Seven Realms can't attack us. We'll build a temporary base here. This temporary base won't be built in a day. The entire temporary base needs a defensive array and a teleportation array. These two arrays need everyone's help to build. I'll have someone send you a list in a bit. You can prepare the items according to the list I send you. You can rest assured that I'm absolutely fair. If you don't believe me, you can check the list I sent you to see if I'm fair. In addition to the list, I will also send you the number of people each family needs to use to build this base. However, there's one thing everyone must pay attention to: the people each family sends to build the temporary base must have some knowledge of arrays. Don't send people who don't know anything, otherwise it will only waste everyone's time."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They all agreed that the temporary base would be used by everyone, so they had no objection to everyone working together to build the defensive and teleportation arrays. They also agreed that everyone should send their own people to build them at the same time, since it wasn't just one person contributing. As long as it was fair, that was fine. They didn't want to be deliberately targeted, and as long as they weren't deliberately targeted, they had no problem.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Master Qingyu felt slightly relieved. He then spoke again, "Alright, it's good that everyone agrees. Now let me talk about the division of this temporary base. I plan to build this temporary base in a circular shape, and then divide it into several settlements for everyone to settle in. These settlements will be roughly the same size, but since some settlements are closer to the outer perimeter of the base and some are closer to the center, the ones closer to the outer perimeter might be more dangerous. So how to allocate the settlements is also a problem. My suggestion is to draw lots. What do you think?"
