Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15847

Chapter 15845 Experiment

“The experimental site is ready, and the disciples have been selected. These are all the most loyal disciples in the sect, though their strength isn’t particularly high, but it’s sufficient for the experiment.”

Qin Sheng, the sect leader of Hell Gate, was discussing the experiment with the crystal skulls with several elders. The elders all nodded, and then one elder asked, “When will the experiment officially begin?”

Qin Sheng replied, “It has already begun. I’ve already sent the disciples there—a total of one hundred. These disciples are ordinary disciples of Hell Gate. Their strength isn’t actually very high; they’re currently only peripheral disciples, not even outer disciples. I’ve told them what kind of experiment we’ll be conducting, and that if the experiment succeeds, they can become inner disciples of the sect. If they die, their families will inherit…” “Of those who pass, one will be able to directly enter the outer sect and become an outer disciple, and they all agreed.”

The several Grand Elders all nodded, and then one of them said, “Good, that’s for the best. But this experiment will take three months, right?”

Qin Sheng nodded and said, “It will take three months. For the first ten days, they will become living dead, and then they will live there for three months to see if they will turn into skeletons. If they do turn into skeletons, we’ll see if they can cultivate. Only when all these experiments are passed will it be considered a true success.”

Everyone nodded, and then they left. For them, they only wanted to see the results. As for whether the hundred disciples would die in this experiment, they really didn’t care. Don’t worry about a hundred people dying; even if a thousand or ten thousand people died, as long as the experiment succeeded, they would still have gained something.

Qin Sheng then closely monitored the experiment. Ten days later, he collected the skeletons and personally checked on the disciples. He was relieved to find that they had indeed become living dead. He then had the disciples continue their training there to see if they would turn into skeletons. Unbeknownst to

him, on their very first day there, the disciples had already become undead. However, this time, upon becoming undead, they received a great deal of information about the Blood Slaughter Sect and learned about their mission. The skeletons also taught them how to transform their bodies into the appearance of the living dead. Of course, the disciples wouldn’t tell Qin Sheng this. Having become undead, a single thought had been deeply implanted in their minds from the moment they became undead: they must never betray Zhao Hai or the Blood Slaughter Sect. Therefore, after becoming undead, the disciples naturally wouldn’t reveal anything about the Blood Slaughter Sect to Qin Sheng.

Over those ten days, they completely controlled their bodies. So when Qin Sheng checked on them, their bodies were confirmed to have become like the living dead.

Qin Sheng was very satisfied, and the disciples were equally satisfied. For the next three months, they lived there. Qin Sheng checked on them daily, and their flesh and blood were indeed disappearing little by little. First, their flesh slowly vanished, and they became increasingly thin. After about two months, they had become desiccated corpses. Then, after another ten days, their skin slowly disappeared, leaving only skeletons and some large tendons.

But this wasn’t the end. After another ten days, even the tendons disappeared, leaving only skeletons. However, to Qin Sheng’s surprise, those skeletons became incredibly hard, and they could still cultivate. He didn’t know how they cultivated; they could still speak and retained their memories from their previous lives. It seemed that apart from becoming skeletons, they hadn’t changed at all.

It’s not to say there weren’t other changes; there were some. The skeletons seemed to find practicing the Hell Gate techniques much easier. Their strength improved rapidly over the past three months, something Qin Sheng hadn’t expected and was a pleasant surprise.

At the same time, Qin Sheng asked the disciples how long they felt they could live. Cultivators are sometimes like this; they can actually sense their lifespan in a subtle way.

The answers from the skeleton disciples both surprised and delighted Qin Sheng, because they didn’t know, as they couldn’t sense their lifespan anymore; it was as if they could live indefinitely.

Qin Sheng was both surprised and delighted that they couldn’t sense their lifespan. For cultivators, not sensing their lifespan wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, as there were only two possibilities: either they were about to die, or they could live a very long time. For example, a kingdom-level expert who was only a few hundred years old generally wouldn’t sense their lifespan, as it meant their lifespan was likely very long. Typically, cultivators could only sense their lifespan within the last hundred years of their lifespan. If their lifespan exceeded one hundred years, they wouldn’t be able to sense it. This was a result obtained after countless experiments by cultivators.

Of course, while cultivators can sense their lifespan, this feeling cannot be quantified. In other words, they only have a vague sense of it. For example, if a cultivator has over ninety years left to live, their feeling might be faint—a sense of crisis, a feeling that their life is nearing its end. If you still have over ninety years to live, this sense of crisis will naturally be weak. However, if you only have one or two years left to live, then this feeling will be extremely strong, since you are about to die.

Now that the disciples say they can’t sense their lifespan, this is a good thing for them. Thinking of this, Qin Sheng asked the disciples if they had that sense of impending death, and they all shook their heads. Qin Sheng was now completely relieved.

Qin Sheng then gave them an illusion array, allowing them to transform into human form instead of constantly moving around as skeletons. Afterward, Qin Sheng began another experiment. This time, his subjects were somewhat peculiar. He selected some of the stronger disciples from the sect, all of whom had at least reached the Throne level. However, these disciples were all nearing the end of their lifespan, meaning they were about to die and their strength had declined. Qin Sheng wanted to see how their strength would change after turning these people who were nearing the end of their lifespan and whose strength had declined into skeletons.

The reason Qin Sheng didn’t begin the second experiment before the first batch of participants turned into skeletons was because he feared the first experiment might fail. If the first experiment failed, they would at most lose a hundred ordinary disciples. However, if they started the second experiment before the first one was over, and it failed, the loss wouldn’t be just a hundred ordinary disciples, but potentially a hundred Throne-level cultivators. Although Throne-level cultivators weren’t considered top experts within the Hell Gate, losing them was still a significant loss. Therefore, Qin Sheng waited until the first experiment was finished before starting the second.

During these three months, Soul Reaper and his group constantly relayed information to them. Their battle at the Nine Yang Immortal Palace wasn’t going smoothly. When the sects in the Nine Yang Immortal Palace region discovered that the Hell Gate intended to deal with them, they surprisingly united again to fight against the Hell Gate’s allied forces. Both sides had fought several major battles, suffering losses on both sides. However, overall, the Hell Gate had the upper hand. The battles between those sects and the Nine Yang Immortal Palace had indeed resulted in considerable losses, which was why the Hell Gate had gained the upper hand.

Hell Gate had anticipated this situation, so they weren’t too concerned. They didn’t suspect Soul Reaper, as he would occasionally send back wounded. Hell Gate also sent another batch of reinforcements, though not many. During

these three months, the Demon Blade Sect had fully integrated into Hell Gate. Some of its disciples had already entered Hell Gate for training, and Hell Gate had sent many more disciples back to the Demon Blade Sect. Some of the disciples who had been stationed there returned to Hell Gate, but Wan Sheng remained at the Demon Blade Sect. After discussion among the Hell Gate’s elders, it was decided that Wan Sheng would be permanently stationed at the Demon Blade Sect.

Everything was normal at the Demon Blade Sect, which reassured Hell Gate. Their second experiment also proceeded smoothly. The old cultivators became living dead within ten days, and their flesh began to slowly disappear. Three months later, they had become skeletons.

What delighted Qin Sheng most was that the cultivators who had been turned into skeletons had actually regained their peak strength. Although they had become skeletons, their power had been fully restored, and they could no longer sense their lifespan. This discovery overjoyed Qin Sheng, and he immediately invited all the Grand Elders over to share this good news. The Grand Elders were also

very happy to hear this news, because this experiment was most useful to them. Some of them were already experiencing a gradual decline in strength, and if becoming skeletons could restore their peak power, they would be very willing to do so.

After two trials, the people of Hellgate felt that the skeletons were fine and could be used officially. However, to be on the safe side, this time Hellgate started using them on the lower-level disciples first, observing those who had already been turned into skeletons to see if there were any adverse changes. If any adverse changes occurred, they could immediately stop the experiment, so that their losses would not be too great. Of course, they wouldn’t be foolish enough to turn those kingdom-level experts into skeletons right away. If something really went wrong, they would have nowhere to regret it.
