Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15877 The road ahead
Upon hearing what Elder Zhen said, Ding Chunming was taken aback. Then, he looked at Elder Zhen with some surprise and asked, "Elder Zhen, what were you saying just now?"

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, I have integrated myself with this positive and negative Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Formation, and then made some minor adjustments. This is the other path I mentioned. I am different from you. I was born because of the formation, so my strength must naturally be closely connected with the formation. That's why I took this path. This path is actually the most suitable for me."

Ding Chunming nodded, then said, "Why didn't you merge yourself with the Ouroboros? The Ouroboros has many magic arrays, or you could merge it with the Sun Array. Wouldn't that be better?"

The old man chuckled and said, “I’ve already merged with it. Actually, what’s here is just one of my clones. I discovered that after I turned into a vine, I could create multiple clones. After all, vines are plants, they can produce seeds, and a section cut off can even survive. I used this method to create some clones. Some of these clones have merged into some of the sect’s magic arrays, some into the sect’s Heavenly Sphere, and some into the sect’s magic artifacts. However, most of these clones are dormant, and I will only wake them up when needed. As for my main body, I have merged into the Real Illusion, which was created by the young master and is one with him. You could say that wherever the young master goes, I will go. I am a kind of appendage in another form.”

Upon hearing Elder Zhen's words, Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun exchanged bewildered glances. They truly hadn't expected Elder Zhen to do such a thing; it was simply too impressive. In this respect, Elder Zhen was now the one closest to Zhao Hai, a fact they found hard to believe.

At that moment, Zhao Hai's voice came: "Elder Zhen did a great job." Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that Zhao Hai had appeared in the command hall at some point.

Elder Zhen and the others quickly bowed to Zhao Hai, but Zhao Hai waved his hand and then smiled at Elder Zhen, saying, "Elder Zhen did very well. You did not follow the traditional path of cultivation, which is correct. There is more than one path of cultivation in this world. It is indeed very good that you have been able to find such a path."

The old man bowed and said, "I hope you won't blame me, young master. After all, I didn't tell you that I had integrated myself into the real illusion."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Actually, I knew all along, but I thought you did very well, so I didn't interfere. Chunming, Wanchun, your strength is not bad now. If you want to improve yourselves further, you can learn from Elder Zhen. Of course, I'm not telling you to copy Elder Zhen. You can't learn Elder Zhen's method. However, the path Elder Zhen took is indeed a path. Perhaps it is a path you can take in the future. After all, once you reach the Kingdom level, no one knows how to proceed. You have to figure it out yourselves."

Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun both responded. Zhao Hai didn't mention the matter again, but glanced at the command hall and then smiled and said, "Old Wen was able to set up such a formation. It seems that his understanding of formations has become increasingly profound. It seems that he is not far from breaking through. Good, very good. I am really happy to see you all break through one by one."

Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun remained silent, standing there obediently. Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "After dealing with the Prajna Temple and their people this time, our strength will be even greater. We will also know how many regions are coming to deal with us. We will have to fight back then, so we will be very busy for a while. This battle must be fought well. However, with Elder Zhen controlling the formation, I believe we will definitely win. This time, we must listen to Elder Zhen's words, after all, the enemy's strength is not weak."

Ding Chunming and the others all responded, and Zhao Hai then disappeared, leaving only the words: "Go ahead and do it boldly, I'll take care of everything." His voice lingered, but he was gone.

Ding Chunming and the others all bowed in the direction Zhao Hai left. They all understood Zhao Hai's meaning, which was quite clear: he was telling them to go ahead and do their thing without worry, as he would take care of everything. Ding Chunming and the others were filled with gratitude.

Just after Zhao Hai disappeared, Elder Zhen said, "I'll call Xiao Wen and tell him that everything is ready here." Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun naturally didn't object; they both nodded, with Ding Chunming even seeming a little distracted.

Elder Zhen immediately called Wen Wenhai, who answered the phone right away. As soon as the call connected, he saw Elder Zhen and was taken aback. Then he immediately asked, "Elder Zhen, is there something you need?"

Elder Zhen shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just wanted to let you know that we are all ready here and can start fighting at any time. You can rest assured." Wen Wenhai responded and then said, "You should keep in touch with Lao Bai now. Lao Bai has been monitoring those people. He knows everything they do and when they will arrive at your location. Just keep in touch with Lao Bai."

Elder Zhen nodded, and then the two hung up the phone. After hanging up, Elder Zhen immediately dialed Bai Yan's number, and Bai Yan answered the phone quickly. As soon as the call connected, Elder Zhen said to Bai Yan, "Little Bai, everything is ready here. Where are those guys?"

Bai Yan immediately spoke up: "At their current speed, they will reach the Five Ghosts Sect in about five days. Before they came in this direction, we couldn't determine which sect they were going to, since there are many sects in this direction. It wasn't until they passed several sects that we made the final judgment. However, this means they are very close to the Five Ghosts Sect. We just didn't expect that the speed you prepared would be so fast."

The old man smiled and said, "The formation has been prepared for a long time. Xiao Wen is quite fast at setting up formations. Keep an eye on those guys. If they do anything unusual, tell me immediately."

After rolling his eyes and giving a nod, Elder Zhen hung up the phone. He then turned to look at Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun and found that they were both lost in thought, seemingly preoccupied with something.

However, upon seeing their expressions, he knew they must be thinking about what Zhao Hai had said earlier. He couldn't help but smile slightly, and without disturbing them, he walked to a chair and sat down, closing his eyes to rest.

It took Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun a while to come to their senses. They both breathed a sigh of relief. They understood what Zhao Hai meant, but they hadn't figured out exactly what to do. However, they knew it was only a matter of time before they did. After becoming kingdom-level experts, they didn't know what to do next, since there seemed to be no further path in the Divine Realm. But Zhao Hai's words had just reminded them that there was another way. However, they didn't know how to walk that path.

After Ding Chunming and his companion regained consciousness, they glanced at Elder Zhen and found him resting with his eyes closed. Without saying a word, they found chairs and sat down in the command hall, quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive.

Meanwhile, Yuanming also invited representatives from the other regions to his room. After everyone arrived, Yuanming said, "Everyone, in a few days we will arrive at the Five Ghosts Sect. Then the great battle will begin. What are your thoughts on the upcoming battle?"

Zhuge Qingsong said, "I think we don't need to think too much now. Let's just rush over and start fighting. With our strength, we can wipe out the Five Ghosts Sect in the shortest amount of time. If we hesitate, we might miss our chance. After all, the Five Ghosts Sect must have reconnaissance arrays, and they might even have sentries outside their continent. If we hesitate, they'll easily discover us. Once they discover us, the Hell Gate reinforcements will arrive immediately, which would be detrimental to our operation. So let's rush over as fast as we can. If we can get into their continent directly, that would be even better. Our first target will be their teleportation array. Destroy it first, and then launch a full-scale attack. Use all the large magical artifacts and all the people. Leave no survivors in the entire Five Ghosts Sect. Just kill them and wipe them out as quickly as possible. If the Hell Gate reinforcements arrive during this process, no matter how many they are, we'll retreat immediately and move on to the next target. What do you think?"

After hearing Zhuge Qingsong's words, the group all nodded. Fan Huajin, in particular, laughed loudly and said, "Good, great! I didn't expect you to be such a straightforward person, Zhuge Qingsong. That's right, why think so much? We are stronger than them, so let's just charge over and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

“That’s right, now is not the time to think so much. Five days is enough for us to prepare. Then we can just rush over and start fighting. Actually, if it weren’t for minimizing losses, even if the entire army of the Hell Gate is with the Five Ghosts Sect, we could still attack them directly. Even if their reinforcements arrive, we can still attack them. But in that case, our losses might be very large. If we retreat, this battle will last a long time, but our losses will be small. So I still agree with Fellow Daoist Zhuge’s suggestion.” Song Xing also spoke up.

Yuanming nodded, then turned to look at Gu Shang. Gu Shang remained silent. In fact, during their several conversations with Gu Shang, he had been remarkably quiet, often finishing a meeting without uttering a single word, simply nodding in agreement. Yuanming and the others were quite helpless in this situation; they couldn't force Gu Shang to speak, could they? Moreover, to be honest, they didn't really like Gu Shang, finding him too gloomy. They disliked people like that, so they rarely interacted with him. This had inadvertently isolated Gu Shang, but he didn't seem to care much. Yuanming and the others hadn't considered targeting Gu Shang, as they were still allies.
