Bringing the farm to another world

However, this time, the Ruyi Eight Treasures Gourd was facing Qianji Star of the Blood Slaughter Sect. It had managed to destroy one of Qianji Stars before because that Qianji Star had underestimated its opponent and hadn't anticipated that the Ruyi Eight Treasures Gourd could allow the person inside to input energy into it, increasing the gourd's attack power. That's why it suffered a loss. Now, this Qianji Star had devised a countermeasure. It's important to know that Qianji Star possessed more than one Yin-Yang Thunder Pool; they could activate more to increase their power. This Qianji Star had activated multiple Yin-Yang Thunder Pools and thickened its tentacles, thus enabling it to block the Ruyi Eight Treasures Gourd's attack.

It can be said that the large magical artifacts of the Blood Slaughter Sect's Thousand Machine Star and the Meteorite Domain each have their own merits. The Blood Slaughter Sect's Thousand Machine Star also has the ability to allow disciples to input energy into the Thousand Machine Star to help it fight. However, the Thousand Machine Star rarely uses this ability anymore. The main reason for not using it is that it is no longer needed. Their Thousand Machine Star has many Yin-Yang Thunder Pools, which can provide the Thousand Machine Star with enough energy.

So why didn't they activate all the Yin-Yang Thunder Pools in the first place and then input energy into Thousand Machine Star? It's actually quite simple. If too many Yin-Yang Thunder Pools were activated, Thousand Machine Star would be operating at overload, which would damage it. Furthermore, under such overload, Thousand Machine Star's sustained combat capability would be affected. If it only used one Yin-Yang Thunder Pool to fight the enemy, it's safe to say that Thousand Machine Star could fight indefinitely, even for several years. However, if all the Yin-Yang Thunder Pools were activated, Thousand Machine Star could only sustain combat for a few days at most. During these few days, Thousand Machine Star would maintain a very strong combat capability, but after a few days, it would be useless—truly useless. At that time, the Blood God Gold on Thousand Machine Star would lose its activity, and its energy transmission ability would be affected. In other words, Thousand Machine Star would become a real lump of iron, completely useless.

In fact, the large magical artifacts in the Meteorite Domain are in a similar situation. They cannot allow their disciples to continuously input energy into these large magical artifacts for combat. Doing so would not only cause enormous damage to their large magical artifacts but would also render them completely ineffective. Even the disciples who can input energy into these large magical artifacts would not be able to withstand it. Therefore, the large magical artifacts in the Meteorite Domain are also unable to engage in prolonged, high-intensity combat.

If we were to say what the difference is between the large magical artifacts of Thousand Machine Star and Meteor Domain, it would probably be their attack methods. Thousand Machine Star is mainly focused on melee combat. Of course, they will also release spells to attack enemies, but their spell attacks are not as strong as their melee combat abilities. Therefore, Thousand Machine Star is still a large magical artifact that is mainly focused on melee combat. It can transform itself, which makes it very advantageous in melee combat.

The Thousand Machine Stars in the Meteorite Domain primarily rely on ranged attacks, though they possess some melee capabilities. However, these melee abilities pale in comparison to their ranged attacks, as they utilize magical artifacts rather than spells. These artifacts are far more powerful than spells, which is why the large magical artifacts in the Meteorite Domain are primarily designed for ranged attacks.

It can be said that these two large magical artifacts each have their own merits, which surprised the Blood Slaughter Sect members. They really did not expect that there would be someone who could compare with them in terms of large magical artifacts. This was beyond their expectations.

Now the two sides are once again deadlocked. Although the Blood Slaughter Sect lost some Thousand Machine Stars before, they have been able to withstand the attacks of the large magic weapons from the Meteorite Domain since they opened all the Yin-Yang Thunder Pools on the Thousand Machine Stars and put them under overload. After all, the Blood Slaughter Sect has more Thousand Machine Stars than the large magic weapons from the Meteorite Domain. Even if they lost some, they still have many Thousand Machine Stars, while the Meteorite Domain only has a little over a hundred large magic weapons in total.

Just then, the commander of the Thousand Machine Star, which had been destroyed by the Dao Sect, stood before Bai Yan. He lowered his head, looking guilty. Bai Yan, however, was looking at the projection, not at him, but at the Thousand Machine Stars. He breathed a sigh of relief after blocking the attack of the Ruyi Eight Treasures Gourd. Then he turned to look at the disciple. Seeing the disciple's expression, he was taken aback. He then smiled slightly and said, "Alright, don't be so dejected. This is not your fault. The destruction of the Thousand Machine Star has nothing to do with you. I called you here to ask you how strong the attack power of the large magic artifacts in the Meteorite Domain really is. Come, tell me in detail."

Upon hearing Bai Yan's words, the disciple was initially taken aback, but then immediately replied, "Yes, Elder Bai, the large magical artifacts from the Meteorite Domain are incredibly powerful. Did you see their attack methods? They have eight different attack methods, and all eight are actually magical artifacts. For example, those poisonous mists, which appear to be spells, are actually magical artifacts. That's why their attack power is so strong and their attack range is so far. Moreover, these magical artifacts seem to be controlled by their large magical artifact. In other words, their large magical artifact controls several smaller magical artifacts. Not only can it attack from a distance, but it can also transfer its power to those magical artifacts, making them even more powerful. We suffered a loss because of this. We didn't expect the magical artifacts released by their large magical artifact to suddenly become more powerful, so we fell into their trap and allowed them to destroy our Thousand Machine Star. If we had been prepared earlier, we would never have let them destroy our Thousand Machine Star."

Bai Yan nodded, then said, "Then tell me, if our Thousand Machine Star were to fight against the large magical artifacts of the Meteorite Domain next time, what should we do?" The disciple thought for a moment, then said, "I think there are two things that need to be improved. First, the attack method. Our Thousand Machine Star is mainly focused on melee combat, but in fact, our Thousand Machine Star can have the same ranged attack capabilities as them, that is, control magical artifacts to fight against them. And the magical artifacts that our Great Thousand Machine Star can control are the most suitable small magical artifacts, namely the Small Thousand Machine Stars. We can have a Great Thousand Machine Star bring some Small Thousand Machine Stars with it, and when fighting the enemy, we can directly use the Great Thousand Machine Star to command the Small Thousand Machine Stars in battle. This will make our Great Thousand Machine Star's attack power even stronger."

Bai Yan nodded, then said, "That's possible, but it seems there might be some problems with our Great Thousand Machine Star transferring energy to the Small Thousand Machine Star, right?"

The disciple said in a deep voice, "Actually, it is possible, but it is not necessary. There are several Yin-Yang Thunder Pools in our Lesser Thousand Machine Star. The combat power of our Lesser Thousand Machine Star itself is very strong. Our Greater Thousand Machine Star only needs to control those Lesser Thousand Machine Stars. We don't even need to transfer energy into the Lesser Thousand Machine Stars. Even if we need to transfer energy into the Lesser Thousand Machine Stars, it is possible and there is no problem at all."

Bai Yan nodded, signaling him to continue. The disciple then spoke, "The second point that needs improvement is the energy problem of Qianji Star. Our Qianji Star has been tested. Once overloaded, it can only sustain combat for a maximum of five days. After that, our Qianji Star may lose its activity and die completely. It is precisely because of this limitation that we habitually use only one Yin-Yang Thunder Pool when fighting enemies. This causes our Qianji Star to be somewhat lacking in energy during combat. If it is an ordinary enemy, there will be no problem. However, if we encounter an opponent of equal strength, and they strike with full force, it will be too late for us to activate the other Yin-Yang Thunder Pools. This is why my Qianji Star was destroyed."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But we've all misunderstood something. Our Thousand Machine Stars should be much stronger in coordination than their large magical artifacts. So why don't we put our Thousand Machine Stars under excessive strain from the very beginning? As long as we don't let them fight beyond their limits for too long, it's fine. For example, they can fight beyond their limits for a day or two, as long as it doesn't exceed three days. Once they fight beyond their limits for an extended period, we can replace them with another Thousand Machine Star, and there won't be any problems."

Bai Yan nodded repeatedly upon hearing his words, agreeing with the disciple's reasoning. Seeing Bai Yan's agreement, the disciple continued, "Our Thousand Machine Stars, having fought beyond their limits for three days, will need several days to fully recover from the effects of that overload. Therefore, I think we can have three Thousand Machine Stars form a team, each consisting of one large Thousand Machine Star and one hundred and eight smaller ones. This way, we can not only use the smaller Thousand Machine Stars as magical artifacts, but also utilize their numbers to create a Heavenly Dipper Earthly Fiend Formation, which will greatly enhance our Thousand Machine Stars' combat power."

Bai Yan's eyes lit up even more after hearing his words. He said in a deep voice, "That's right, this is a good idea. It can definitely be done. We can use the Great Thousand Star to control the Small Thousand Star, and then fight as a team. If necessary, we can set up a magic array. This is indeed a good idea."

The disciple smiled slightly and remained silent, while Bai Yan looked at him and said, "Alright, go back to Yun first. Go and get a Thousand Machine Star right away, and at the same time, equip this Thousand Machine Star with a Lesser Thousand Machine Star. Once you're all ready, I'll send you to the battlefield to see how it performs in actual combat. Go and prepare." Upon hearing Bai Yan's words, the disciple quickly agreed, then bowed to Bai Yan before turning and leaving.

After he left, Bai Yan couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Not bad. The disciples these days are all very resourceful, which is excellent. And the method he proposed is also very good. What do you all think?" As he spoke, another projection appeared in front of him, showing Ding Chunming and the others. (End of Chapter)
