Bringing the farm to another world

Many who join the Blood Slaughter Sect are unaware that the sect's realm is layered. The next layer is their own, the realm where they live normally. This realm is now habitually referred to by the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples as the Cultivation Realm. Below this realm, there is another layer inhabited by those rejected by the sect. This layer is called the Mortal Realm. In other words, the realm inhabited by those on that layer is no longer the Cultivation Realm; they are simply mortals. The people on that layer are all mortals, even if they may live longer.

You only learn these things once you reach a certain level. Of course, sects don't just randomly eliminate people. Generally, it's those who simply can't keep up with the sect's pace. For example, the sect is about to ascend, but many disciples haven't even reached the Qi level. If their progress is still slow after the sect ascends, they'll find they can't catch up with others, and they'll lose the motivation to continue cultivating. Because of this, they gradually stop wanting to cultivate. At this point, someone from the sect will come and tell you, "You don't want to cultivate anymore. After all, you still have to do tasks on this level. There's a place where you don't need to do any tasks and can live the life you want. How about it? Do you want to go?" Most people will want to go, and that place is the mortal realm.

Life in the mortal realm is quite good. No one makes you do tasks, you no longer need to cultivate diligently, and no one watches over you. If your monthly progress doesn't meet the sect's expectations, no one will ask you what the problem is, and no one will care whether your cultivation method is unsuitable or whether the resources given to you are unsuitable. No one cares about you anymore. You can receive some supplies every month, and you won't have to worry about food or drink. You'll also have people to chat with. You can play chess together, talk about things you're interested in, or even do things that interest you. Do you like this kind of life? Of course you will. However, at the same time, you will run out of resources for cultivation. From then on, your strength may become more difficult to improve, or even stop improving altogether. Over time, when your lifespan runs out, you will die. This is life in the mortal realm.

Such a life might be very attractive to some people, but for people like Qingxuan, the mortal realm is the most despairing place for them. In the upper realm, you can make progress and there is even a possibility of immortality, but once you get to the mortal realm, there is no longer any chance. For cultivators, it is a place of despair.

There's another important reason why the mortal realm is called this: those who enter the mortal realm often die before reaching their predetermined lifespan. As Lin Ru said, a cultivator might reach the power level but no longer want to cultivate, so he enters the mortal realm. Such cultivators can usually live for over a hundred years, at least over a hundred years. Moreover, after entering the mortal realm, there's no more fighting, and they eat good food and drink top-quality spiritual spring water, living a very comfortable life every day. Such people should be able to live for a very long time, but unfortunately, they usually don't even live to be a hundred years old.

No one killed them, and they weren't sick. They died of natural causes. Why did they die of natural causes? Logically, they could have lived much longer, perhaps even decades longer. Why did they die?
The reason is actually quite simple: they had lost hope, their hearts were dead. They were cultivators, and they knew what the mortal realm was like. It was a place to retire, a place to wait for death. They knew that once they arrived here, there was no longer any possibility of immortality. Their hearts slowly died, and their mentality aged along with them. Because they had lost all hope of living, this kind of thinking affected their bodies, causing them to age slowly, and eventually, they naturally died.

This is like a medical theory. Many people say that people who get cancer don't actually die from the cancer itself. How do they die? They die from being scared to death. If someone has cancer and you don't tell them, and only say it's a minor ailment, they might still live a good life. But once people know they have cancer, they will die very quickly, much sooner than the time of death the doctor tells them. Why? Because they are scared to death by themselves.

The same applies to cultivators who enter the mortal realm. They know that once they arrive in the mortal realm, they are simply waiting to die. Because of this, their mentality changes, and they eventually die naturally.

In the Blood Slaughter Sect, there are almost no people who can return to the cultivation world after entering the mortal realm. This is because you entered the mortal realm because you had lost the will to cultivate. How could you possibly think about climbing back up after entering the mortal realm? That's unrealistic. So, generally, all the people who enter the mortal realm die, and no one can return to the cultivation world.

Within the Blood Slaughter Sect, there are certain documents that can only be accessed upon reaching a certain level. Qingxuan is a branch hall master, holding a very high position within the sect. Because of this, he can access information that ordinary elders cannot see. This is why he knows about the existence of the mortal realm, something that most Blood Slaughter Sect disciples are unaware of.

It was precisely because he knew of the existence of the mortal realm that Qingxuan worked even harder to improve himself. He did not want to go to the mortal realm to wait for death. Perhaps the people of the mortal realm did not feel that they were waiting for death; they might feel that they were living a good life. But in Qingxuan's view, they were waiting for death.

Therefore, Qingxuan was actually quite nervous. He didn't want anyone from the Tianxuan Sect to fall behind. So, after chatting with the people from the Tianxuan Sect for a while, Qingxuan said to them, "Now that the sect is giving us such good conditions, we must work even harder to cultivate. Otherwise, we'll be wasting such good resources. What do you all think?" Everyone nodded. Then, one cultivator spoke up, "Yes, I've never received so many resources since I started cultivating. But... Elder, why are you suddenly saying this?"

Qingxuan glanced at everyone and then said, "Actually, it's nothing. I'm just reminding you not to take it for granted or become complacent just because you've received so many supplies. If you do, then you'll really be letting down the sect that gave us all those supplies."

Everyone nodded. They didn't suspect anything. Qingxuan wanted to tell them the truth, but the sect had a rule that he couldn't tell others what he knew. So he couldn't say it. He just hoped that these people would listen to him, otherwise it would be a great pity.

They chatted for a while longer before logging off. Although the incident had been a great shock to them, they were mostly relieved that they were safe now. They simply expressed their gratitude to Qingxuan, but didn't really feel anything deeper.

On this day, there were many others who behaved similarly to those from the Tianxuan Sect, especially those from various sects that had previously disbanded but had joined the Blood Slaughter Sect. They were extremely grateful that their sects had disbanded, otherwise they might have been in real danger and could have ended up like Wan Hai and the others.

Those from the sects were well aware that Wan Hai's Wan family was incredibly powerful, comparable to, or even stronger than, the Tianxuan Sect. Yet, this very family was subsequently wiped out, not a single member spared. This truly terrified them. They all wondered if their own sects, if they hadn't disbanded, would have suffered the same fate—this was their greatest fear.

The elders of the Blood Slaughter Sect had a simpler perspective. They felt no sympathy for Liu E. In their eyes, Liu E's actions constituted betrayal of the sect, and traitors naturally received no sympathy. Moreover, they believed the sect's actions were entirely justified. They reasoned that to eliminate a threat, one must nip it in the bud. Why wait for Liu E's family to retaliate later? Therefore, they genuinely felt the sect had done nothing wrong.

As for Wan Hai and his group, the older disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect certainly didn't care. In their eyes, how dare these newly joined families negotiate with the sect? Were they crazy? What's wrong with the sect dealing with them? It would be wrong if the sect didn't!

In fact, the older disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect were unaware that not all members of Liu E's family had been killed. Many of Liu E's family members had long since severed ties with him. After being transferred to other branches, they lived their own lives there, having long since lost contact with Liu E. Although they were still members of the Liu family, they were no longer truly connected to it. Moreover, Liu E had previously called these people, wanting to invite them to join him in an operation, but they refused. Some even told Liu E directly that they were leaving the family. The Blood Slaughter Sect would not touch such people, since they had not committed any wrongdoing, so why should they be targeted?

After hearing about Liu E and his group, those people were terrified, fearing they would be implicated. However, the Blood Slaughter Sect didn't do that. In fact, the managing elders even visited them to comfort them, telling them that Liu E and his group were themselves and had nothing to do with them. The sect knew about them, so they should just live their lives as usual. This reassured them, but also made them understand that the sect knew their background and they shouldn't act recklessly.
