Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 16040 True Spirit Realm

The True Spirit Sect is the strongest sect in the True Spirit Realm. The sect members cultivate a unique technique: they belong to the Beast Taming Sect. They raise powerful demonic beasts and then sign contracts with them, making these beasts their battle mounts. However, these contracts are not equal agreements, but rather slave contracts. Furthermore, each person can contract more than one demonic beast. Of course, initially, they can only contract one beast; with each advancement in rank, the number of beasts they can contract doubles. For example, when they first begin cultivating, they can contract one... First, they would acquire one demon beast. Once their strength reached the "Power" level, they could sign contracts with two more demon beasts, giving them three. If they reached the "Throne" level, they could sign contracts with four more, giving them seven. At the "Royal Chariot" level, they could sign contracts with eight more, giving them fifteen. At the "Palace" level, they would have thirty-one demon beasts. At the "Royal City" level, they would have sixty-three. At the "Kingdom" level, they would have one hundred and twenty-seven demon beasts, forming a large demon beast army.

The demonic beasts they signed contracts with were all capable of cultivation. When the demonic beasts cultivated, a portion of their power would be fed back to them, thus accelerating their cultivation speed. Moreover, for each demonic beast they signed, they would gain one of its abilities, resulting in an ever-growing number of abilities. The stronger the energy of their demonic beasts, the stronger their abilities would be. Therefore, the people of the True Spirit Sect possessed formidable combat power.

In addition, the True Spirit Sect's cultivation method has very low requirements for talent, so there are many more people cultivating in the True Spirit Sect than in other sects.

However, this does not mean that the True Spirit Sect has a large number of high-level combatants. The stronger one is, the higher the requirement for comprehension. Simply relying on the accumulation of spiritual energy is not enough. Of course, because demonic beasts can help them cultivate, their combat power is very strong among demonic beasts of the same level.

However, they also have their own problems. They must raise the demonic beasts themselves. When they sign contracts with demonic beasts, the beasts are always young, and the growth cycle of demonic beasts is very long. To accelerate the growth of demonic beasts, you must nurture them, providing them with all sorts of rare and precious treasures to help them grow up quickly. If you don't have the ability to nurture demonic beasts, then the demonic beasts cannot grow, and of course, you cannot improve your own strength. This creates two situations: one is internal, because this cultivation method has relatively low requirements for talent, so the large families within the True Spirit Sect... Disciples of the True Spirit Sect have a much higher starting point than ordinary people. People at the bottom don't have the ability to raise demonic beasts. If you want to raise your own demonic beast, you can, but only if you have exceptional talent and your cultivation speed with the demonic beast is extremely fast. Only then will you be noticed by those powerful families, and those families will train you. However, you must sign a contract with those families, become a member of those families, and serve them for life without betrayal. In other words, those powerful families monopolize the True Spirit Sect's path to advancement. Ordinary people only have one way to get ahead: join those powerful families and become a member of them.

The other type is external. Because the True Spirit Sect needs to cultivate a large number of demonic beasts, they require a large amount of rare and precious materials. However, the True Spirit Sect alone cannot provide these materials. Therefore, the situation in the True Spirit Domain is somewhat different from that in other domains. In the True Spirit Domain, the True Spirit Sect has always been high and mighty, enslaving other sects. Other sects must hand over a certain amount of rare and precious materials to them every year. Only by handing over those materials will the True Spirit Sect not attack you. If you do not hand over the materials, the True Spirit Sect will really attack you, and may even destroy your sect.

It can be said that the situation in the True Spirit Domain is completely different from that in other domains. The True Spirit Domain is truly dominated by one power, and the True Spirit Domain Sect currently has nearly a hundred Kingdom-level experts. In contrast, the other sects in the True Spirit Domain only have a little over a hundred Kingdom-level experts combined. Although they have more experts than the True Spirit Domain Sect, they have never been able to unite. This is because the True Spirit Domain Sect will sow discord among them, treating some with favor and others with mistreatment. This makes it impossible for those sects to unite, and naturally, they will never be able to fight against the True Spirit Domain Sect.

The True Spirit Realm has never been attacked by people from other realms before, so the people here have not been monitoring other realms. Therefore, their passage is perfectly normal.

Shi Jin and his group also went to the passage as scouts to check the situation. They found that there were no surveillance posts or sentries in the True Spirit Domain. The entire passage was undefended.

When Shi Jin relayed this news to Bai Yan, Bai Yan was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that the people in the True Spirit Domain would be so arrogant as to not even set up any surveillance posts in the passage. However, this conveniently made their actions easier.

As soon as Bai Yan and the others entered the passage, they gave Shi Jin an order to continue into the True Spirit Domain and find the first sect as soon as possible.

Shi Jin and his group set off immediately. Their scout team had grown to over 10,000 people, and they dispersed to explore the entire True Spirit Domain.

It didn't take long, but Bai Yan and the others didn't rush to act. Instead, they stayed at the edge of the True Spirit Domain, while Shi Jin and the others were heading into the True Spirit Domain.

Not long after, one of the scouts discovered a continent. Since they had no intelligence on the True Spirit Domain, the scout immediately entered the continent, disguised as a rogue cultivator. They were quite experienced in this area. Once inside, they quickly entered the rogue cultivator settlement, doing so discreetly. He observed that the people spoke the same language as them, and the rogue cultivators seemed no different from those in other domains. He immediately found an inn, booked a room, and then wandered around the settlement, trying to observe the situation. It wasn't until evening that he found a tavern, went inside, and sat down in a corner, quietly listening to the rogue cultivators chatting – the most inconspicuous way to gather intelligence.

From the words of these rogue cultivators, he learned that the place he was in was called Ruiwu Sect. It was a small sect, and the strongest in the sect was only two King City level cultivators. The overall strength of the sect was also very weak. Apart from the two King City level experts, the rest were Royal Palace level cultivators. However, there were quite a few Royal Palace level cultivators, numbering in the thousands.

You don't need to know too much, just these things are enough. The reason those rogue cultivators mentioned these things is because the annual tribute collection day of the True Spirit Sect is approaching. The Sharp Martial Sect has to pay a large amount of tribute to the True Spirit Sect every year. Those rogue cultivators even mocked the people of the Sharp Martial Sect, saying that they were not as carefree as the rogue cultivators.

Upon hearing this news, the scout left the tavern and returned to the inn. As soon as he got back, he set up a protective array in his room and then wrote a report on the situation at Ruiwu Sect, which he then sent directly to Shi Jin.

After receiving the intelligence he sent, Shi Jin immediately forwarded it to Bai Yan. Upon receiving the intelligence, Bai Yan immediately contacted the scout and located his coordinates. They were preparing to attack Ruiwu Sect.

Soon, Baiyan and his group made contact with the scout. They asked the scout about the situation at Ruiwu Sect, and the scout directly told Baiyan all the information he had heard.

After listening carefully to his report, Bai Yan nodded and said, "Good, you did a great job. Rest there for a few days. We will attack that sect in three days, so don't worry."

The scout responded, and then Bai Yan ended the call. After they finished, Bai Yan immediately began to arrange for the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples to prepare for action. He felt that there was no need for further reconnaissance, as there should be no one in the True Spirit Domain who could threaten them.

The reason for this judgment is that if there were truly any beings here that could threaten those rogue cultivators, then the Ruiwu Sect would definitely not be so weak. It is precisely because the Ruiwu Sect is so weak that Baiyan made this judgment.

After arranging the disciples to attack three days later, Bai Yan no longer took the matter to heart. They could have attacked tonight, but he still gave the disciples three days to prepare. This was because they were sending out disciples who had never seen blood before, since there were far too many in their sect who had never seen blood.

Those ordinary people who recently joined the Blood Slaughter Sect's Azure Cloud Domain have only just begun their cultivation and will not be able to go to the battlefield in the short term. However, there were also a large number of ordinary people in the domains they had conquered before, and all of them had already reached the level of a royal palace. Although some disciples were sent to fight the Azure Cloud Domain last time, and they saw blood, there were still many disciples who had never seen blood. Bai Yan still needs to arrange for these disciples to see blood.

It was precisely because those disciples had never seen blood that Bai Yan gave them three days to prepare. After all, it was their first time on the battlefield, and they were still very nervous. During these three days, they could conduct several more practical training sessions and ask the older disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect what they should pay attention to on the battlefield, so that they could be fully prepared psychologically.
