Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15582

15580. Chapter 15580 Vision

“Have they settled in? Are they here this time for the Seven Universes?” Sima Lingyun, without even looking up from his work, addressed Sima Zhong.

Sima Zhong immediately replied, “Yes, Patriarch, they said they came this time for the Seven Universes.”

Sima Lingyun nodded and said, “That’s good. Bring them to see me tomorrow. How are they? They didn’t act pretentiously in front of you, did they?”

Sima Lingyun asked this because the other party was from the Yidao Sect, and their family was much weaker than the Yidao Sect. Therefore, it was normal for Yidao Sect members to act pretentiously when meeting their family members.

Sima Zhong shook his head and said, “No, the other party is also from the Foreign Affairs Hall of the Yidao Sect. They are very sensible in their actions. However, they also want to take the initiative in the negotiations with us. So when they were chatting with me today, they said that they wanted to deal with the people of the Seventh Universe Realm to avenge us. However, I also told them that it was thanks to us that we discovered the actions of the Seventh Universe Realm first. Otherwise, if the people of the Seventh Universe Realm became bigger and stronger, it would become a trouble for the Meteorite Domain. If he found that he could not gain the upper hand in the negotiations, he should be more honest and would not Talking nonsense in front of the head of the family.”

When Sima Lingyun heard what Sima Zhong said, he finally raised his head, looked at Sima Zhong with admiration and said, “Well done, we can’t let them use this matter to pressure us, otherwise, we will always be inferior to them. You did a good job. Okay, you can go down too, and bring them to see me tomorrow.” Sima Zhong responded, then he saluted Sima Lingyun and then left the study. After Sima Zhong left, Sima Lingyun quickly finished processing the documents in his hand, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Now his mindset had shifted somewhat. Previously, he’d truly wanted his branch to surpass the others, but ever since Sima Xiao’s warning, coupled with his previous words, Sima Lingyun’s focus had suddenly shifted from the Sima family to the entire world. No longer concentrating solely on the Sima family’s small territory, he now had his sights set on the entire Meteoric Star Region. It was this shift in mindset that made Sima Lingyun realize how vast the world was. With his eyes on the entire Meteoric Star Region, the Sima family’s minor issues were nothing. With his eyes on the entire Meteoric Star Region, his approach to matters truly changed. Only now did he understand why Sima Xiao handled the Sima family’s affairs the way he did. A different perspective led to a different approach.

Sima Lingyun couldn’t help but feel a surge of gratitude at this thought. What Sima Xiao had said to him this time was truly something he could benefit from for the rest of his life. It even seemed to have boosted his own strength. He was truly grateful to Sima Xiao.

As for the matter of Yidao Sect forming a coalition this time, Sima Lingyun believes that the coalition can be formed, but don’t think that you can do anything to the Seven Universe Realm by relying on these coalition forces. It would be good enough if the Seven Universe Realm can no longer easily run out to attack them, because the coalition has several shortcomings that exist naturally. If these shortcomings cannot be solved, it will be very difficult to deal with the Seven Universe Realm. The first is that they are not united enough. Even if they successfully form a coalition under the cooperation of Yidao Sect this time, there will be many contradictions within. It is impossible to make them truly united. In this case, it is really hard to say how much combat effectiveness their coalition can have.

Secondly, they still haven’t found a way to breach the Seven Universe Realm’s Ten Thousand Snake Wall in one fell swoop. The Seven Universe Realm’s Ten Thousand Snake Wall was built a long time ago, and before that, the various sects and patriarchs had all sent people to attack it, but they had never been able to breach it. Yes, they weren’t serious before, using the Seven Universe Realm’s people as sparring partners. But you have to admit, they still don’t have a good way to breach the Ten Thousand Snake Wall in one fell swoop, just like when they faced the Ten Thousand Beast Bone Wall. Did they not want to breach it? Of course they wanted to, they dreamed of it, but they couldn’t do it, so they could only allow the people of the Seven Universe Realm to exist. If possible, they really wanted to wipe out the people of the Seven Universe Realm in one fell swoop, but they couldn’t do it, and now they couldn’t do anything about the Ten Thousand Snake Wall either.

Third, those families and sects didn’t feel any pressure. The Seven Universe Realm hadn’t truly extended its influence into the Meteoric Star Region; they had merely occupied the Wood Spirit Realm, which belonged to the Sima family. Therefore, the other families and sects felt no pressure. Under such circumstances, how many of them could truly desire to take on the Seven Universe Realm? Even the Yidao Sect, the initiators of this coalition, truly intended to take on the Seven Universe Realm? Perhaps not. The Yidao Sect likely wanted to seize this opportunity to flex its muscles to all the other families and sects, to show them that they were still the most powerful in the Meteoric Star Region, that their influence was still unparalleled. They were doing this because they felt pressure from the other sects, and so they had to flex their muscles, to show the others that they were still the boss of the Meteoric Star Region.

The one who put pressure on Yidao Sect was none other than Yifo Sect. Yifo Sect had developed very quickly in recent years, and several talented disciples emerged from the sect one after another. The strength of these talented disciples broke through very quickly, which greatly enhanced the strength of Yifo Sect and also put pressure on Yidao Sect. It can be said that Yifo Sect now has the capital to challenge Yidao Sect, and Yidao Sect felt this, so they wanted to use this incident to prove to Yifo Sect that they are still the top sect in Meteorite Domain.

The initiators’ motives were impure, the participants harbored their own agendas, and there was no definitive solution to taking down the Ten Thousand Snake Wall. Could a coalition formed under these circumstances truly achieve anything against the Seven Universes? Clearly, it was nearly impossible.

Sima Lingyun hadn’t considered this before, but now he did. He could only imagine it now because he had focused his attention on the entire Meteorite Region. Once he did, he discovered many things he hadn’t noticed before. He discovered that many of the various clans and major sects in the Meteorite Region felt like ragtag groups. Take the actions of the Yidao Sect this time, for example. Their actions were naive. Using this method to challenge the Yifo Sect—wasn’t that childish? With the Yidao Sect’s immense strength, even if the One Buddha Sect succeeded temporarily and overpowered them, it wouldn’t be a big deal. They still had a long way to go. The One Buddha Sect couldn’t always produce talented disciples. Once they ran out of talented disciples, they would return to their previous position. Was the empty title of a foremost sect really that important? Clearly, the Yidao Sect didn’t think so. They still wanted to maintain their reputation as the foremost sect.

If they hadn’t been unable to take down the One Buddha Sect in one fell swoop, the Yidao Sect would have resorted to force. However, it was clear that their strength wasn’t enough to allow them to take down the One Buddha Sect. Therefore, they could only use this method to prove to the people of the Meteorite Region that they were still the foremost sect. This approach was truly naive, yet a major sect like the Yidao Sect did it anyway.

Sima Lingyun couldn’t help but shake his head once again and sighed softly. Honestly, he didn’t take the people of the Seven Universe Realms seriously. In his opinion, the Seven Universe Realms’ strength was obvious, and they simply didn’t have the strength to attack the Meteoric Domain. If they did attack the Meteoric Domain one day, they would be courting their own destruction.

Sima Lingyun also pondered how the Sima family should develop. Currently, the Sima family’s strength was below average in the Meteoric Domain. How could they achieve further advancement? This was a question he had been pondering for days, and he ultimately came to the conclusion: keep a low profile. Sima Lingyun believed that the Sima family could only advance by keeping a low profile, ignoring the attention of other families, and quietly developing themselves in the shadows. If they were too high-profile, they might face repression from other families or sects, such as targeting their talented disciples. This had happened more than once in the Meteoric Domain, so they needed to be more cautious in the future.

Sima Lingyun couldn’t help but sigh at this thought. He suddenly realized that he had been quite the jerk in the past. He had often suppressed the talented disciples from the other branches of the Sima family. If the talented disciples from the other branches had been allowed to flourish, the Sima family might not have been the same. He now understood why Sima Xiao didn’t care so much about the development of his own branch. As long as the Sima family was strong, even if a different branch took power, it would still be the Sima family. But if he suppressed the members of other branches, the Sima family would eventually become weaker and weaker, and it would be hard to say whether the family would still be called Sima.

He hadn’t understood this before. He had only focused on the Sima family’s territory, still thinking of vying for power. His behavior was ridiculous. No wonder Sima Xiao wanted to punish him before. Looking back at his past self now, he didn’t just want to punish him; he wanted to beat him outright.

Sima Lingyun sighed softly at this thought. Fortunately, he had come to his senses. It wasn’t too late. He needed to rethink the future of the Sima family. He planned to reform the Sima family, allowing its talented disciples to receive better training. He believed his reforms would succeed, as he trusted Sima Xiao’s support. As long as Sima Xiao supported him, his reforms would succeed. Sima Lingyun had this confidence.

However, before any reforms could be carried out, he still had to deal with the coalition. Since he had already guessed the coalition’s final outcome, his approach to dealing with it would naturally change. He didn’t plan to send too many of the Sima family’s elite troops to participate in this operation. There was no need to do so. It wouldn’t yield any results anyway, so there was no need to send too many elite troops.
