Bringing the farm to another world

It's not that cultivators are inherently inferior or destined to be exploited. Rather, it's because cultivators are actually more afraid of death, more unwilling to die, and more selfish. This is because cultivators have much longer lives than ordinary people, and it is precisely because their lives are longer that they are even less willing to die. Those cultivators who can truly die for their path are actually a minority. For most cultivators, they simply want to live, even if it means losing something.

For cultivators, if you want to live well, you must have value. If you have no value at all, why would the other party let you live well? Are they just keeping you around to waste resources? This is their way of thinking, so they naturally assumed that the Blood Slaughter Sect thought the same way. Therefore, when they heard Gongliang Juewen say that they were useful to Zhao Hai, they were relieved.

Gongliang Juewen understood these people very well. He had been in a love-hate relationship with them for half his life, and he knew their mentality all too well. Don't be fooled by their seemingly fearless demeanor in front of outsiders; if they were given a real chance to live, they would never give it up.

Gongliang Juewen looked at Qingxuan and the others, and then said, "Qingxuan, now you all know the sect's intentions, so make your decision. As long as you agree to join the sect, the sect will give you corresponding benefits, so you don't need to worry about that."

Qingxuan looked at Gongliang Juewen and asked, "After the sect takes over the Divine Kingdom, will they ascend to immortality?"

Gongliang Juewen said in a deep voice, "We won't ascend immediately. Once we ascend, the sect will face enemies like the God of Creation. Of course, the sect leader isn't afraid of them, but that might affect us. So the sect will try to stay in this realm for as long as possible to improve our strength. The sect leader will only ascend when this realm is determined to drive him out. Otherwise, the sect leader won't ascend, because the longer we stay in this realm, the more advantageous it will be for us."

Qingxuan nodded, then turned to look at the others before saying, "We agree to join the Blood Slaughter Sect, but we need to go back and discuss this with the people in the sect. After all, we've always been enemies."

Everyone else nodded in agreement. Gongliang Juewen gave them a deep look before saying, "You just need to know what you're supposed to do, and don't have any inappropriate thoughts."

Qingxuan and the others all understood what Gongliang Juewen meant. Gongliang Juewen was worried that they would change their minds. Qingxuan immediately said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I guarantee they won't."

Gongliang Juewen glanced at Qingxuan and the others, then said, "Actually, most people here in the Divine Kingdom have already joined sects. Only you people haven't joined yet. Apart from your respective sects and families, everyone else has joined a sect. Even ordinary people are now members of sects. If you go back on your word, then you have no reason to live. Don't think that the sect will definitely let you join. They can refuse. If you go back on your word this time, then you've deceived the sect, and the sect has no reason to be polite to you anymore. The sect will kill you, but it won't resurrect you. It will make your soul imprint disappear directly. Do you understand what I mean?"

When Qingxuan and the others heard Gongliang Juewen say this, they were all stunned. Then their expressions changed. Gongliang Juewen was telling them that if they agreed but then went back on their word, the Blood Slaughter Sect would take their lives but would not revive them. They would really be dead.

Qingxuan let out a long breath, then said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I understand." Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Gongliang Juewen nodded, and then his figure vanished. Seeing Gongliang Juewen disappear like that, Qingxuan and the others exchanged bewildered glances. To be honest, they didn't understand how Gongliang Juewen had done it. They didn't even dare to speak carelessly, worried that Gongliang Juewen might suddenly reappear, or that he was hiding somewhere watching them. If Gongliang Juewen was indeed watching them, and they had said something wrong, the consequences would be very serious.

Qingxuan let out a long breath, then turned to look at everyone and said, "There's no turning back once the arrow is released. Once you've made a decision, don't regret it. We've already decided to join the Blood Slaughter Sect, so there's no reason to regret it. Everyone, go back and prepare. First, talk to those Kingdom-level experts in the sect, and then talk to the disciples below. As long as those Kingdom-level experts agree, it'll be easy to talk to the disciples below."

Everyone responded, and Qingxuan then said, "Alright, let's go back then. I'll be going now." After saying that, he bowed to everyone, then turned and left. When the others saw Qingxuan leave, they all exchanged glances, bowed to each other, and then turned and left.

Qingxuan quickly returned to Tianxuan Sect. Upon his return, he went directly to the sect's council hall and had his disciples summon all the kingdom-level experts and hall masters to the hall.

After they all arrived at the council hall, Qingxuan remained silent for a long time, which puzzled the experts of Tianxuan Sect, who all looked at him with confusion.

After a long while, Qingxuan finally spoke up: "When we went to the meeting today, we saw someone."

At this point, he glanced at everyone and then said, "It's Gongliang Juewen." Upon hearing Qingxuan's words, everyone was stunned at first, then erupted in an uproar. Gongliang Juewen! They had previously suspected that Gongliang Juewen might have betrayed them, and now that Gongliang Juewen had reappeared, it confirmed their suspicions. Gongliang Juewen had indeed betrayed them.

Qingxuan glanced at everyone, and they gradually fell silent. They suddenly realized the purpose of Qingxuan's words. Qingxuan said that they had seen Gongliang Juewen, which meant that they had not attacked Gongliang Juewen. They understood perfectly what that meant.

Upon realizing this, everyone gradually fell silent. Qingxuan looked at everyone and said, "I think you've all guessed it. That's right, Gongliang Juewen has come to persuade us to surrender. What are your thoughts on this?"

No one spoke, but they exchanged glances before one of the elders spoke up: "Sect Master, judging from your expression, you agree?"

His words drew everyone's attention, and they all looked at Qingxuan. Qingxuan looked at everyone and said, "What? Do you have any objections?"

The group exchanged glances, then all shook their heads. One of them spoke up, "No objections, but if we join the Blood Slaughter Sect, will we be killed and resurrected by them? If that's the case, to be honest, I'd rather not surrender." The others all nodded in agreement.

Qingxuan looked at them and said in a deep voice, "They said that what we consider death and what they call death are not the same thing. In fact, they can be resurrected, and their resurrection is a true resurrection, a resurrection with all their memories and emotions. Moreover, after joining them, we can obtain eternal life."

Upon hearing Qingxuan's words, everyone remained silent for a long while before one of the cultivators spoke up, "What about the people from other sects and aristocratic families? What did they say?"

Qingxuan looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Everyone agrees. They also agree to surrender because they don't want to fight anymore. After all, with our current strength, we are no match for the Blood Slaughter Sect. Those people we thought were dead are now actually all members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. There is no point in us resisting anymore."

Upon hearing his words, the group was taken aback. They exchanged glances, and one of them spoke up: "Does the sect leader believe that even if they kill us and then resurrect us, we should still join them?"

Qingxuan looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Tell me the truth, do you want to die?"

Everyone shook their heads. Who wanted to die? Nobody wanted to die. They were all cultivators with long lives, so they were even less willing to die.

Looking at their expressions, Qingxuan continued, "No one wants to die, and neither do I. This time, the Blood Slaughter Sect has issued an ultimatum: if we don't surrender, they will kill us, but they won't resurrect us. In that case, we will truly die."

Upon hearing Qingxuan's words, the elders' expressions all changed. They had just said that if the Blood Slaughter Sect wanted to kill them and then resurrect them, they would rather die. Now, hearing that the Blood Slaughter Sect really wanted to kill them and not resurrect them, they panicked instead.

The irony is this: those guys thought they could fight the Blood Slaughter Sect, die in battle, and then be resurrected by the Blood Slaughter Sect, so they could legitimately join the Blood Slaughter Sect. In this way, they not only joined the Blood Slaughter Sect but also preserved their reputation. This is a classic case of wanting to have your cake and eat it too.

These people were actually quite clear that many of the cultivators they thought had been killed by the Blood Slaughter Sect might have simply surrendered to the sect and not actually died. If they had truly died in battle and then been resurrected before joining the Blood Slaughter Sect, then when they saw those who had surrendered in the Blood Slaughter Sect, they could hold their heads high and tell them, "We are tough guys. We didn't surrender. We died in battle and were resurrected before joining the Blood Slaughter Sect. We are not like you spineless cowards."

It sounds unbelievable that they would fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the bitter end just for such a small amount of face. But that's how people are sometimes; they can do many foolish things for the sake of so-called face, just like them now. They originally wanted to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the bitter end for the sake of face, since the Blood Slaughter Sect would resurrect them anyway. This actually strengthened their determination to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the end. But when they heard that the Blood Slaughter Sect would not resurrect them, they dared not fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the bitter end anymore. (End of this chapter)
