Bringing the farm to another world

"What do the people from the Myriad Laws Cult mean? Didn't we already reach an agreement with them? Our conflict had stopped, so why are they suddenly attacking us again? Do they want to start a new war?"

One of the sect leaders roared. Although their sect had not been attacked, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had attacked other sects, which they could not accept. That was why the sect leader was so angry.

Qingxuan's face was also filled with anger. The actions of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect were tantamount to slapping them in the face in public, which they could not accept. Qingxuan felt that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had gone too far.

Wen Jing remained silent, his brows furrowed as if deep in thought. Many of the other sect leaders also wore expressions of anger, feeling that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect had gone too far.

At this moment, Wenjing suddenly spoke up: "I think this is not a bad thing."

Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions, including Qingxuan. Wenjing glanced at everyone and then said, "I know you are all very angry and feel that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has gone too far, but I think this is not a bad thing. Have you all noticed what places the Myriad Laws Divine Sect attacked this time, and what kind of people did they send to attack?"

Upon hearing his words, everyone was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, Qingxuan spoke up, "They attacked some markets and towns, and the people they sent to attack were all low-level cultivators. Not a single high-ranking member of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect made a move. Most importantly, the people they sent to attack were all rogue cultivators who had only recently joined the Myriad Laws Divine Sect."

Wen Jing nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly the kind of people they sent. This time, they've only sent out some rogue cultivators. Although these rogue cultivators have joined the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they haven't been there for very long. In my opinion, the Myriad Laws Divine Sect sent them out for three reasons: First, to seize territory. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect has lost almost all of its previous assets, and they want to seize some to support themselves. Second, to cultivate poisonous insects. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect originally didn't have many ordinary disciples, and its foundation wasn't deep. Last time, we and the aristocratic families destroyed all their temples, so they actually have a gap in low-level and mid-level disciples. It can be said that the Myriad Laws Divine Sect..." The sect currently only has kingdom-level experts; it lacks disciples at other levels, which is unacceptable. They want to quickly restore the number of mid-to-low-level disciples in their sect, but relying on their own training would be too slow. We all know how long it takes to train a disciple, and they don't want to spend that much time. So, they came up with this method: recruiting a bunch of rogue cultivators and having them attack our markets. This way, they weed out batches, and those who remain are the elite. These individuals can then become mid-to-low-level disciples of the Myriad Laws Divine Sect and will become its backbone in the future. Thirdly, it's for the royal family's benefit. What is the Myriad Laws Divine Sect? They are the royal family's... A knife in the hands of the powerful is useless if it can't cut people. They previously made peace with the aristocratic families to deal with us, but after suffering losses at our hands, they had no choice but to accept our tacit ceasefire. They are now in a very dangerous situation because their knife is no longer effective at cutting. Although they did this to develop themselves, it has also aroused the dissatisfaction and vigilance of the royal family. The royal family wants a knife; once that knife is no longer effective, they will no longer want it. Because of the Creation God Cult incident, the royal family is even more wary of the Myriad Laws God Cult. And now that the Myriad Laws God Cult has made a complete ceasefire with us and the aristocratic families, this... For the royal family, this is a very dangerous signal. They fear the Myriad Laws Sect will become a second Creation Sect, and the Myriad Laws Sect members are likely well aware of this. Therefore, they won't give the royal family a pretext to deal with them. They launched their attack first, sending their rogue cultivators to attack our markets. This won't cause too much damage; at most, it will result in the deaths of some low-level disciples. It won't significantly harm our sects or them, but it will send a signal to the royal family that they are still at war with us. This way, the royal family won't think their weapon is useless, nor will they think they want to make peace. Thus, the royal family won't punish them.”

Wen Jing paused here, glanced at the others, and continued, "Actually, what they're doing isn't necessarily a bad thing for us. Currently, people from each of our sects hold official positions in the court. His Majesty has just agreed to our return, which is an opportunity for us. However, His Majesty will definitely continue to suppress us afterward. He doesn't want to see us establish ourselves in the court and continue to develop. Therefore, he will definitely suppress us in the future. But if we continue to clash with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect—our battle with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect has never stopped, even in this low-level conflict..." Battles between disciples of different ranks are actually good for the royal family. It signifies that our enmity with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is deepening, and we will always be enemies. This way, the royal family will not only feel more at ease with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, but their desire to suppress us will also diminish. Our battles with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect weaken both their and our own strength. The fact that we have forged a deadly feud is definitely a good thing for them; they are happy to see it happen. Most importantly, as long as our conflict continues, the royal family can turn their attention to dealing with others, such as the aristocratic families.

Wen Jing said, "The royal family and the Myriad Laws Sect previously joined forces to deal with the aristocratic families. This shows that the royal family doesn't actually have any goodwill towards the aristocratic families. They also want to suppress them. However, they also need to use the power of the aristocratic families to suppress us to achieve a balance. Moreover, they can't suppress both us and the aristocratic families at the same time. If they did that, it would be very difficult for them if we really joined forces with the aristocratic families. But if we clash with the Myriad Laws Sect, then they won't need to worry about us anymore. They can focus on suppressing the aristocratic families, which is beneficial to us."

"Having discussed the external benefits, let me now talk about the internal benefits. In recent years, there haven't been many wars between our sects, and our disciples haven't truly fought anyone for a long time, especially not on a large scale. This is extremely detrimental to their development, as opportunities for real combat have decreased. However, if we maintain these small-scale conflicts with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, it's actually a good thing for our sects. Disciples gain practical experience, and the scale of the conflicts is very small, keeping everything under control. This is a good thing. Therefore, I believe that this conflict with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect..." "This can continue indefinitely, as long as the scale is controlled, and the strength of the participants must be strictly controlled. I think it would be better to use the Royal Palace level as the dividing line. Disciples below the Royal Palace level can participate in such battles, but those at or above the Royal Palace level should not participate. When we fight the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, as long as we don't send Royal Palace level or higher cultivators, that's fine. The Myriad Laws Divine Sect should understand our meaning. If they don't, then we can deal with them properly. However, judging from the methods of those people in the Myriad Laws Divine Sect, they are all intelligent and should understand our meaning."

Qingxuan and the others listened quietly to Wenjing's words. After Wenjing finished his analysis, they remained silent for a long time. They really hadn't expected that Wenjing could analyze so much from this conflict, and that what he said seemed to make a lot of sense.

Wen Jing looked at everyone and said, “Everyone, why were we suppressed by the royal family before, to the point that all of our sects were unable to enter the court? There are only two reasons. First, we developed too quickly, which aroused the royal family's vigilance. The royal family felt that we threatened their position, so they wanted to suppress us. Second, we had no enemies. At that time, we had no conflicts with the aristocratic families, and our development direction was always outside the city, in the market. Relatively speaking, we were almost independent of the divine kingdom. Moreover, we traded with each other, had markets, mines, and almost everything. Even if we did not communicate with the royal family and the aristocratic families, we could live well. It was precisely because of this that the royal family wanted to deal with us. Because we had almost no dependence on them, they could not control us. That's why they wanted to suppress us and drive us out of the court. But what if we had an enemy? And a mortal enemy at that, where we would continue to fight and conflict? Wouldn't their vigilance towards us be much lower? Wouldn't we not repeat the same mistakes as before?”

Wen Jing continued, "Moreover, although we have been in conflict with the Myriad Laws Sect, as long as we can control the scale, it will not only not affect our strength, but will actually enhance it. Our disciples will transform from hothouse flowers with little practical experience into true, battle-hardened warriors. This will also benefit our future development. What do you think?"

Qingxuan and the others began to discuss. Wenjing, observing their expressions, remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Hasn't the royal family always been wary of us? Now, we have an enemy, which suits their purposes perfectly. However, we can use this opportunity to slowly accumulate strength. When our strength is sufficient, perhaps we can truly force a change in the royal family's leadership. Of course, it's too early to talk about this now, and we're not in a hurry. We can take it slowly. But the conflict with the Myriad Laws Divine Sect is absolutely necessary to continue. What do you all think?" After speaking, Wenjing looked at the crowd, and most of them nodded, agreeing with his words. (End of Chapter)
