Bringing the farm to another world

In fact, what the One Buddha Sect experienced was similar to what the One Dao Sect experienced. They both sent people to scout the Seven Universe Realms, and they also wanted to establish temporary bases on the outskirts of the Seven Universe Realms. However, the Seven Universe Realms did something different from the Wood Spirit Realm. The Seven Universe Realms did not attack them at the beginning, but allowed them to establish temporary bases there. Just when they thought that the people of the Seven Universe Realms would not touch them, the people of the Seven Universe Realms suddenly launched a full-scale attack, defeating the allied forces in one fell swoop. The losses of the allied forces were even greater than those of the Wood Spirit Realm. After all, the Wood Spirit Realm had made some preparations beforehand, while the allied forces in the Seven Universe Realms were completely unprepared, so their losses were huge.

This is why the One Buddha Sect suffered a faster defeat than the One Dao Sect. When Master Qingyu learned of this, he was initially relieved, but then he became even more troubled. Now that both of their teams had failed, he didn't know how the One Buddha Sect would react. He was waiting for news from the sect to see if they would send out a large magic weapon. However, in Master Qingyu's opinion, it was quite normal that the sect might not send out a large magic weapon. The One Dao Sect only had ten large magic weapons, which were the sect's most prized artifacts. These large magic weapons would not be used lightly unless the sect faced a life-or-death situation. Therefore, Master Qingyu thought that the sect might not send out a large magic weapon. After all, this matter had not yet reached the point where the sect's survival was at stake, so their reaction was quite normal.

Master Qingyu put away the teleportation array and began to wait quietly for people from other sects and families. The first to arrive were all small families. Some of these small families were under the jurisdiction of their Yidao Sect, while others were under the jurisdiction of other sects. They had all received the notification and then, upon discovering that they were closer to the Yidao Sect, sent a letter to their families, and thus came ahead of time.

Master Qingyu did not punish the members of these small families. He let the Liu family go, but it would be unreasonable to punish other families, let alone families under the jurisdiction of other sects. He would be even less likely to punish them.

Several major sects arrived quickly, followed by other large families. They were all very fast. Once everyone from the major sects and families had arrived, Master Qingyu invited them all to his main hall.

Once everyone had arrived, Daoist Qingyu glanced at them and then said, "This defeat is no one's fault. No one expected that the people from the Seven Realms would be so strong, and their abilities were so unpredictable that we couldn't defend against them. So, don't punish those small families; it's really not their fault." The people from the major sects and families remained silent, though some appeared more composed, while others seemed somewhat resentful.

Master Qingyu didn't concern himself with how they did it; he merely offered a reminder. He had no authority to command them, as he was well aware that he was only a temporary commander, not a real one, and therefore had no right to control them.

Master Qingyu then spoke up, "I have two pieces of news to tell you all, one bad news and one not-so-bad news. I wonder which one you'd like to hear?" As he spoke, he kept looking at everyone, who were speechless. They really didn't know what to say. Master Qingyu was still in the mood to joke at this point, which really left them speechless. After all, things had already come to this point, and for Master Qingyu to joke was going a bit too far.

Master Qingyu could tell what they were thinking just by looking at them. He smiled slightly and said, "Alright, everyone, don't be so nervous. I'll tell you the two pieces of news now. First, let me tell you the bad news. After we retreated here, I sent a letter to the sect, asking them to send a large magic weapon to support us and break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall in the Wood Spirit Realm in one fell swoop. But unfortunately, I haven't received a reply from the sect yet, so the sect most likely won't send a large magic weapon to support us."

His words stunned everyone. They were all speechless. None of them had ever considered requesting their sects or families to send powerful magical artifacts to support them, yet Daoist Qingyu had done so. It seemed he truly wanted to conquer the Seven Realms. Unfortunately, it appeared his plan was doomed to fail. This wasn't necessarily bad news for them. In fact, several families were already considering disbanding the alliance, but he hadn't said anything. They didn't want to become the first to speak out, so they hadn't proposed disbanding the alliance. Since they were already considering disbanding, they certainly wouldn't care whether a powerful magical artifact from the Daoist Sect arrived. Therefore, this news wasn't necessarily bad news for them. However, one thing was certain: this news was likely bad news for Daoist Qingyu.

However, they quickly realized that if this was bad news, why would Master Qingyu be so happy? And why would he be in the mood to joke with them? What kind of news could he describe as not-so-good news, yet make him so happy? So everyone looked at Master Qingyu, waiting for him to continue. Master Qingyu smiled slightly as he looked at them, and then said, "It seems that this news isn't necessarily bad news for you. But that's alright. I'll tell you the second piece of news now. The second piece of news is actually very simple. It's about the other team. I received news that the other team's attack wasn't going very smoothly either. They were even defeated faster than us. They were defeated long ago, and their losses were quite heavy. Of course, this news is only so-so for you. After all, you didn't participate in our bet with the One Buddha Sect, so it doesn't matter much to you who wins or loses. But you can think of it this way: at least this news will prevent you from feeling awkward when you talk to the other team. Although both of you failed, at least you lost slower than them."

Upon hearing what Master Qingyu said, everyone couldn't help but smile wryly. Master Qingyu was right; this news wasn't exactly good news for them, but it wasn't bad news either. However, after Master Qingyu said it this way, it suddenly seemed like the news had become good news. This really left them somewhat dumbfounded.

Master Qingyu glanced at everyone and then said, "We have failed this time, so let me be frank with you all. I know many of you were unwilling to participate in this attack on the Seven Realms, because in many people's eyes, it was completely unnecessary. Even if we mobilized so many troops, we couldn't possibly break through the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall of the Seven Realms. If the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall of the Seven Realms were really that easy to break through, then the Seven Realms would have been destroyed long ago. What do you all think?"

Everyone was truly surprised that Master Qingyu would actually lay all these words bare. However, they had to admit that Master Qingyu's sincere words were very comforting. They knew that these were the truths he spoke, and the truth is the most touching. Master Qingyu's words had indeed moved them.

Master Qingyu continued, “Many people may think that our operation has failed and that we should all disband sooner rather than later. But I think things are not as bad as you imagine. Our attack did fail, but at least we have proven one thing: the people of the Seven Realms are capable of fighting us. I even took action myself, but I still couldn’t do anything to them. And this time, they fought us without relying on the Ten Thousand Serpent Wall; they wiped us out with their own team. That is quite remarkable.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone became serious. Master Qingyu was right; they hadn't come away empty-handed. At the very least, they had learned some of the secrets of the Seven Realms, which was extremely important to them.

Master Qingyu continued, "Besides knowing the combat strength of the Seven Realms, we also know two other things. First, the people of the Seven Realms have a method that can instantly revive people. Moreover, this method not only allows for instant revival but also preserves the strength they possessed in life. This is the most terrifying aspect." Everyone nodded again. The thought of this instantly soured their mood; they had almost forgotten about the terrifying ability of the Seven Realms.

"Secondly, the people of the Seven Realms possess a method of long-distance teleportation without using teleportation arrays. Perhaps they did use teleportation arrays, but we didn't see them. They might be using a completely new type of teleportation array that we've never seen before, and this type of teleportation array poses a tremendous threat to us. It can be said that they defeated us precisely because of their strength combined with these two abilities. If they only had strength but lacked these two abilities, defeating us would have been virtually impossible. That's why I said we shouldn't blame those small families. Let's think about it from another perspective: if we were those small families, what would we do? We would be facing elusive enemies, and once we were killed, we would immediately resurrect and then turn around and kill our former comrades. Just thinking about this is enough to drive anyone crazy. Therefore, the Seven Realms' method of instant resurrection not only increases their combat power but also causes our disciples below to break down emotionally. So, this matter really can't be blamed on those small families below." After saying this, Daoist Qingyu glanced at everyone.

After hearing his words, everyone nodded, their expressions growing even more grim. Indeed, if they were in the position of those smaller families, they might also have collapsed. Therefore, the failure of those smaller families this time was not necessarily due to cowardice. (End of Chapter)
