Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15845

Chapter 15843. Fame and Fortune

Those people were somewhat puzzled, wondering why the Hell Gate was doing this. The Demon Blade Sect had existed for quite some time; if the Hell Gate wanted to deal with them, they wouldn’t have waited until now. The Hell Gate was currently uniting with various sects on a campaign against the Nine Suns Immortal Palace. Logically, this was the last thing they should be doing , yet the Hell Gate was doing it anyway. Why?

The sects began investigating, but found nothing. In fact, the Demon Blade Sect’s claims about obtaining the skeleton for a year and controlling its influence were all false. Of course, the skeleton’s data was all true, but the Demon Blade Sect’s claims were fabricated.

The Demon Blade Sect members were all from the Blood Slaughter Sect; they hadn’t been part of the undead race for very long, so outsiders couldn’t possibly know about this. This was a trap set for the Hell Gate; how could other sects possibly know?

Meanwhile, Elder Wu had already returned to the Gate of Hell. Upon his return, he immediately summoned the Gate Master and several Supreme Elders. Once everyone was present, Elder Wu took out the Crystal Skull and then recounted to the Gate Master everything the Demon Blade Sect Master had told him. After hearing

his words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances, unsure what to say. After a long while, the Gate Master finally spoke, “How about this? Let’s conduct an experiment first and see how it goes. If what the Demon Blade Sect said is all true, then we should pay even more attention to these skeletons. What do you all think?”

The elders all nodded, and then one elder said, “Select a location within the sect and send some disciples there to observe the results. We need more detailed data, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential.”

Everyone nodded, and then the Gate Master spoke… “We must select some trustworthy disciples, and they must know about this matter; otherwise, it might be exposed,”

said one of the Grand Elders. The other Grand Elders nodded, and one of them said, “Leave this matter to you, Sect Master. We will leave it to you.”

The other Grand Elders nodded, and the Sect Master also nodded, saying, “Alright, leave this to me. I will handle it.”

The Grand Elders said nothing more, but Elder Wu spoke up, “The Demon Blade Sect is now a branch of our sect. I have also promised…” “The disciples there are treated the same as our disciples. We did this to lessen the resistance of the Demon Blade Sect. Otherwise, we would have to kill or capture everyone from the Demon Blade Sect and bring them back to our sect, which would take too long and risk leaking the news. That’s why I agreed to their request. Please arrange this matter, Sect Master.”

The Sect Master said in a deep voice, “Elder Wu, please rest assured. Your word is our promise. I will definitely arrange it well. Moreover, the Demon Blade Sect’s techniques have their unique aspects, which will also benefit our Hell Gate.” “Having another gate is a good thing.”

Elder Wu nodded without saying anything more. The sect leader spoke up, “If the elders have no further objections, then I will make the arrangements immediately. The elders can rest now. The sect is facing some changes due to this incident, and there will be external pressure as well. We need the elders to oversee things, so please take care of yourselves.”

One elder said, “Sect leader, rest assured, this is the weakest time for our Hell Gate, but at the same time, it is also the weakest time for other sects. They dare not touch us; otherwise, they would be the first to suffer.” Everyone nodded.

Elder Wu suddenly spoke up, “Sect Master, we truly don’t know the situation of the Expeditionary Force.”

The Sect Master smiled slightly and said, “Elder Wu, please rest assured, the Expeditionary Force is doing well. They have already captured two sects, both of which are major sects. These sects fought too fiercely with the Nine Yang Immortal Palace before, and their strength was greatly diminished. They no longer have the power to resist us, not to mention that we have supported them for so many years, and we have long since figured out their strength. Taking down the Nine Yang Immortal Palace is only a matter of time.”

Elder Wu and the others all nodded, and then one of the elders spoke up, “If we can take over the Nine Yang Immortal Palace territory and also use these skeletons to achieve immortality, then our Hell Gate will usher in an unprecedented period of development, and our names will surely be passed down to future generations.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone’s eyes lit up. They were indeed very happy; if it could really be like that, it would be the best outcome. They were currently working towards that goal as well.

Even cultivators couldn’t escape the pursuit of fame and fortune. What cultivators fought for was profit, and they also desired fame. For many cultivators, the prospect of leaving a mark on history was an immense temptation.

Cultivators have long lifespans, and it is precisely because of their long lifespans that their history is also long. It’s common for a sect to exist for tens of thousands of years. As for a cultivator, even if they are called elders, how many can truly live forever? Many low-level cultivators might only live for less than a hundred years before their lifespan ends and they die. That’s considered good. Many low-level cultivators might die from a single mission or a single battle. Even for kingdom-level experts like Elder Wu, their lifespan is generally only a little over a thousand years.

Many people have a misconception that cultivators’ strength increases indefinitely and remains at a very stable level. However, this is not the case. While cultivators have long lifespans, they also age, and there are limits to their lifespan. For example, if a cultivator wants to reach the “Momentum” level, it’s best to achieve it before the age of sixty. Sixty is the final limit. If you haven’t reached the “Momentum” level before sixty, your lifespan will not exceed one hundred years. If you reach the “Momentum” level before sixty, your lifespan can reach two hundred years. Around 100 years old. Of course, this is an ideal number. That is to say, if you cultivate to the realm of “Power,” you can live up to 200 years old at most. However, ordinary cultivators cannot live that long. Any problem in your cultivation will leave hidden injuries in your body. You will also get injured in battles. Taking pills will leave pill poison in your body. All of these will affect your lifespan. Therefore, even if an ordinary “Power” level cultivator really dies of old age, he can only live to be a little over 100 years old at most. Moreover, you must break through to the Throne level before you are 100 years old. Otherwise, you will never have the chance to break through to the Throne level again.

If you reach the Throne level, your lifespan can only reach around four hundred years. Of course, for the same reasons as above, under normal circumstances, no one can live to four hundred years old. Moreover, you must break through to the Imperial Carriage Realm before the age of two hundred. Otherwise, you will not have another chance. In other words, if you cannot break through before the age of two hundred, your strength and your body will gradually begin to decline. When you are about to die, it will be very good if you can still maintain the strength of the Momentum level, let alone maintain the peak level.

A master at the Imperial Carriage level can only live to a maximum of six hundred years old, a master at the Royal Palace level to a maximum of eight hundred years old, and a master at the Royal City level to a maximum of twelve hundred years old. As for a master at the Kingdom level, theoretically they could live to two thousand years old, but under normal circumstances, no one can live that long. They will die after a little over a thousand years because their bodies will deteriorate. As their bodies deteriorate, they will no longer be able to suppress the hidden injuries in their bodies, and those hidden injuries will be fatal. Therefore, many Kingdom level masters will take a lot of pills when they get old. These pills are not to help them break through, but to suppress the hidden injuries in their bodies.

Under normal circumstances, it is already good if a Kingdom level master can maintain the strength of the Royal Palace level when they are about to die. Like Kongming, who can still maintain considerable combat power when he is about to die, that is an anomaly and not a common phenomenon.

Therefore, many sects’ kingdom-level experts generally don’t take action, especially older ones. They can no longer maintain their peak combat power, so they won’t easily intervene. Of course, their cultivation level is what it is; if it really comes down to fighting to the death, they might temporarily restore their strength to its peak, but that would also affect their lifespan. So, generally, the older a kingdom-level expert is, the less likely they are to take action—the impact would be too great.

It is precisely for this reason that the members of the Hell Gate are so interested in becoming undead. They understand very well that if they truly become skeletons, not only will their lifespan increase, but their bodies might also stop gradually deteriorating. Their strength might even continue to improve, or even if it doesn’t improve, as long as they can maintain their optimal state, it would still be a gain for them.

For cultivators, fame and fortune are ultimately driven by the pursuit of longevity. Fame brings fortune, and fortune allows them to acquire more resources, enabling them to cultivate to higher realms and attain even longer lives—this is the ultimate goal of cultivators. This

is why the members of the Hell Gate’s eyes lit up upon hearing the elder’s words. For them, this was their ideal scenario; if things could truly unfold as the elder described, they would be overjoyed.

The sect leader took a deep breath, suppressing his thoughts. He glanced at the elders and then said, “Elders, I must attend to my duties now. Rest assured, I will arrange the experiments properly and obtain results as soon as possible. Please rest assured.”
