Bringing the farm to another world

As soon as the roots of that big tree took hold of the ground, new saplings sprouted from the ground and grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the big tree had grown into a forest that covered the entire market.

This surprised everyone in the Lu family. They couldn't help but reach out and touch the tree, but they found that they had touched nothing. The tree was just an illusion, a phantom, and not a real thing.

This surprised the Lu family even more. They immediately took to the air, only to find that the market town they lived in was gone. All that remained was a forest, no different from any other forest. This forest was connected to the forests in other places, and you couldn't tell that there was a market town there at all. Most importantly, you couldn't sense the presence of the market town in the air. It was just like an ordinary forest. You could even feel the small trees and weeds under the trees, but you just couldn't sense that anyone was there.

Just as the Lu family was marveling at this, several birds suddenly flew over. They probably sensed that the forest was growing very well, so the birds landed directly on a tree.

Upon seeing this, the Lu family members' expressions changed. They knew very well that the grove of trees was fake, all an illusion. Once a bird landed on it, the deception would be exposed.

But then something astonishing happened: the birds landed directly on a tree and stayed there on the branches as if they were actually on a real tree.

This scene surprised the Lu family, but they were overjoyed. The birds landing on the trees was the best disguise, and no one would suspect that there was a market town under this forest.

The Lu family members landed directly on the ground from the sky. When they landed, they found themselves still in the market. Although the trunks of the big trees were still there, they had no effect on their lives, as if they were all just phantoms. Most importantly, when they looked up at the sky, the big trees did not obstruct their view at all.

The Lu family members almost simultaneously exclaimed, "Thank you, all-knowing and all-powerful God."

After a brief moment of joy, the Lu family began their cultivation. Of course, they still carried out their plan: they started digging an underground chamber, worried that if their disguise was discovered, they would have another underground chamber to hide in.

Meanwhile, some disciples of the Lu family also began to cultivate. After all, cultivation was very important to them. As soon as they started cultivating, they discovered something different. They found that their cultivation speed was much faster than before, which was something they had not expected. They also remembered what the God of Creation had told them: their potential had been enhanced. The people of the Lu family now truly understood what those words meant.

On the other hand, Chang Jun and his group already knew about the arrangements made by the Divine Kingdom, but they were not in a hurry. They were doing something else: to completely take over their territory so that no one could take it away from them.

This is also a tradition of the Blood Slaughter Sect. If they are not exposed, it is fine. They will keep a low profile and not make any big moves. But once they are exposed and start to confront the enemy head-on, the first thing they do is to completely turn the territory they have occupied into their own.

The method was actually quite simple: they covered all the territories with magic arrays. No one knew better than the Blood Slaughter Sect how powerful their magic arrays were. That's why they used magic arrays to completely cover their territories, ensuring that their territory would always remain theirs and that no one could take it away.

Although the Blood Slaughter Sect had previously controlled these territories, they hadn't broken ties with the Divine Kingdom, so many people still came and went daily. The Blood Slaughter Sect couldn't turn all these transient people into undead, so they didn't dare to make any big moves. Now that they had broken ties with the Divine Kingdom, and the people of the Divine Kingdom knew of their existence, ordinary people from the Divine Kingdom wouldn't come to them. Of course, they could act with confidence and boldness, so they began to set up magic arrays in this area.

The Blood Slaughter Sect's consistent approach has always been to protect itself first before attacking the enemy. This is why they first set up formations on their own territory instead of rushing to attack the Divine Kingdom. Meanwhile, the Divine Kingdom has also established its defensive lines. Although these lines have caused dissatisfaction among many smaller families and sects, as they have all been relocated by the Divine Kingdom to places like markets or fortified cities to protect the larger sects and cities.

In essence, both sides are doing the same thing. The Blood Slaughter Sect is covering their territory with a magic array to prevent it from being taken away. The Divine Kingdom is doing the same thing; they are building a defensive line with depth. This way, even if the Blood Slaughter Sect wants to attack, they will be caught in a large net and will not be able to easily break through this defensive line.

A month passed in this way. The defense line of the Divine Kingdom was completed, and their army and all kinds of supplies were mobilized. It can be said that they were ready for battle.

Gongliang Juewen once again summoned the heads of various families and sects to Wukong City, and then eunuchs led them directly to the main hall.

Once everyone had arrived, Gongliang Juewen appeared in the main hall. He glanced at everyone and then said, "I called you all here today to discuss how to attack the rebels. Our defenses are now complete, but the enemy hasn't made a move. We can't just wait for them; we must take the initiative. After all, that's our territory, and it's absolutely unacceptable for them to occupy it. We must eliminate those rebels and take back our territory. That's what we should be doing."

Everyone nodded, and Gongliang Juewen continued, "Since the founding of our divine kingdom, we have encountered all sorts of things, but this is the first time we have encountered something like this. They have managed to turn so many people against us and turn such a large territory into theirs. This is something we absolutely cannot allow, so we must eliminate them and take that territory back."

No one spoke. Gongliang Juewen continued, "But how to take back that territory is something we need to discuss carefully. We don't even know who the other side is yet. We only know that the Myriad Laws Cult is a branch of them. That means they must also know what the Myriad Laws Cult has to offer, and they might even know things that the Myriad Laws Cult hasn't shown."

Everyone nodded in agreement with his statement. Gongliang Juewen continued, "Before we attack, let's not forget what the most powerful aspect of the Myriad Laws Sect is. Is it their magic? No, I think it's their array formations. The Myriad Laws Sect has previously demonstrated two types of array formations. One is the Eight Gates Golden Lock Array, which is a defensive array. The other is an unknown array, which is also very powerful. You should all remember that, right?"

Everyone nodded, and they even glanced in the direction of the sect, because that unknown formation was the very formation that had caused the sect such a great loss.

Gongliang Juewen continued, "They only demonstrated two types of magic arrays, but we can't assume that they only know two. What if they know more? Now that the area has become their territory, we need to consider whether they will set up magic arrays there, and what kind of arrays they will set up. So we need to think carefully about how we should attack next."

No one spoke up. Gongliang Juewen continued, "Another issue is how we should treat the families and sects that have joined them."

His words startled everyone, and then their eyes showed confusion. Gongliang Juewen looked at them and continued, "I know you want to eliminate all those who surrendered, but doing so will only make those who betrayed us feel that they have no way out but death. Then they will fight us to the death, and our losses will be much greater. But if we accept their surrender, wouldn't the situation be different?"

His words plunged everyone into deep thought. Gongliang Juewen was right. If they were to kill all the traitors, they would realize that they had no way out and that surrendering would only lead to their death. At that point, they would fight desperately, and once they did, their losses would skyrocket, which was something no one wanted to see.

However, they were truly unwilling to give up without eliminating those traitors, so they were conflicted. Gongliang Juewen glanced at everyone and then spoke up: "Of course, I'm not saying we'll really let those traitors go. Even if we accept their surrender, it doesn't mean we'll let them off the hook. Even if they surrender, their previous preferential treatment will be gone. We will still punish them and confiscate all their family or sect's property. We can't let them get away with it. Of course, these punishments will be dealt with later, after they surrender. Accepting their surrender is just telling them that they can surrender, which will break their fighting spirit and prevent them from fighting us to the death, thus reducing our casualties. If you all think this is not good, then forget it. I don't object to eliminating them all." (End of Chapter)
