Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16346

Chapter 16344 Regret

Lu Lingguang looked at the family heads before him. Of course, he wouldn’t immediately propose that they worship the God of Creation. Right, they couldn’t be called the God of Creation anymore; they were now called the Savior Sect. He couldn’t force them to worship the Savior Sect yet, as he wasn’t very familiar with them. If he brought it up now, it would only arouse their suspicion, making it even less likely they would convert.

Lu Lingguang’s visit today was merely to ask if the families needed any help. If they did, they could simply ask him. His stated purpose was mutual assistance.

It was perfectly normal for small families like theirs to band together for mutual support, so the family members didn’t object. Instead, they actively courted Lu Lingguang, and they quickly became acquainted.

The night passed uneventfully, and the next day they continued building their base. However, as they were constructing, a sudden underground disturbance arose, and countless enemies surged forth from beneath the base, attacking Lu Lingguang and his group. These enemies weren’t particularly strong, but their attack was sudden and reckless, seemingly intent on mutual destruction. As a result, casualties on the Aristocratic Alliance side quickly increased.

But at that moment, several disciples of the Lu family experienced a sudden change in their auras; they had broken through to the Kingdom level in the heat of battle. This unexpected turn of events caught everyone off guard. The Aristocratic Alliance members reacted swiftly and launched a counterattack, resulting in the complete annihilation of the attacking enemies.

This attack, however, resulted in the Aristocratic Alliance losing nearly a thousand men, while the enemy suffered only a few hundred casualties—a ratio of almost two to one.

After this battle, the base quickly recovered, and the people there learned their lesson. They began using a permanent ground-solidification technique to prevent further attacks from underground.

As the day drew to a close and evening fell, the patriarchs of several smaller families surprisingly visited the Lu family. This was entirely within Lu Lingguang’s expectations. To be honest, the breakthroughs of the Lu family disciples in the past few days were also anticipated, as they were already close to achieving that milestone. The enemy’s attack today had simply spurred them on, leading to their breakthroughs. These few Kingdom-level experts might not seem like much to the entire aristocratic alliance, but for the smaller families, their significance was entirely different. Normally, a single Kingdom-level expert could support a small family. This time, the Lu family had a total of five members who had collectively become Kingdom-level experts, instantly boosting their strength significantly. This wasn’t just about increasing the Lu family’s overall power; at this moment, it essentially increased their chances of survival.

Moreover, the situation of the Lu family was definitely abnormal in the eyes of those smaller families. They wanted to see how the Lu family had managed it. If they could learn the Lu family’s methods, their family’s chances of survival would increase, which would be a good thing.

As soon as Lu Lingguang heard that the heads of those families had arrived, he immediately invited them to his room. Although he didn’t live in a large magical artifact, he was still a kingdom-level expert, so he had his own room here.

After the group entered the room and took their seats, Lu Lingguang addressed them, saying, “I apologize, everyone. Due to limited resources, I cannot offer you tea. I wonder if there’s anything I can do for you all?”

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances. Then, one of the family heads looked at Lu Lingguang and said, “Nothing much. Several of your family members have broken through to the Kingdom level today, a truly joyous occasion. We’ve come specifically to offer our congratulations.”

Lu Lingguang smiled and replied, “Thank you all, but it was just good luck.”

Another family head shook his head, saying, “It’s no luck. Without a solid foundation, it would be impossible to break through to the Kingdom level. That’s the Kingdom level; it’s not an ordinary power.”

Lu Lingguang smiled slightly, saying nothing. His reaction further convinced the family heads that the Lu family must possess some secret method to enhance the strength of their disciples.

The family heads exchanged glances, then one of them coughed lightly and said, “Family Head Lu, we’ve come here with a question for you. It’s quite simple: we want to ask if you have any way to quickly improve the strength of our family disciples. We’re a small family, and we only have so many promising disciples. If they all die here, our family is finished. That’s why we’ve swallowed our pride and come to you, Family Head Lu. Of course, you can rest assured, Family Head Lu, we won’t take your methods for nothing. We know how precious these methods are, and we’re willing to exchange them. As long as you’re willing to tell us, whatever you want, just say the word.”

The other family heads also stared at Lu Lingguang. Lu Lingguang glanced at them and continued, “Since you’ve all figured it out, there’s no need for me to deny it. However, if you want to know our family’s cultivation methods, you must first agree to one condition.”

The family heads were surprised that Lu Lingguang agreed so readily. They immediately said, “Alright, Family Head Lu, please speak. As long as you’re willing to tell us this method, we’re willing to agree to any conditions.”

Lu Lingguang looked at them and continued, “My conditions are actually quite simple. I want you to swear a solemn oath to your inner demons that after hearing my method, regardless of whether you use it or not, you must not reveal it in any way. If you’re willing to use this method, that’s fine; you can tell your families about it later. But if you’re not willing to use this method, then you absolutely must not reveal it in any way.”

Upon hearing Lu Lingguang’s words, the family heads were all taken aback. They exchanged glances, and then one of them said, “Is it really that simple?” The other family heads felt the same way; in their view, simply not revealing the method was too easy.

Lu Linguang said, “Yes, it’s that simple.”

The family heads exchanged glances, somewhat hesitant. They felt the conditions were too simple, and the simpler the conditions, the less willing they were to agree. Having been in the martial world for so many years, they knew very well that there were no free lunches. Therefore, the simpler the conditions, the less they dared to agree easily.

Lu Linguang glanced at them and then said, “Think it over, everyone. As long as you swear a solemn oath not to reveal this method, I can tell you. Of course, telling you this method doesn’t mean you can use it immediately. There are conditions for using this method. You will only learn this method if you agree to our conditions.”

Hearing Lu Linguang say this, the family heads breathed a sigh of relief. With Lu Linguang’s explanation, they no longer had any doubts. It turned out that even if Lu Linguang told them the method, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate it, so it was no wonder that Lu Linguang wouldn’t reveal it.

Upon realizing this, one of the family heads spoke up, “Alright, I promise you. I can now swear a great oath against the demons, that after hearing about this method, regardless of whether we use it or not, we will absolutely not reveal it in any way.”

The other family heads all nodded, indicating that they agreed. Lu Lingguang looked at them and said, “Alright, then you can swear the oath now. As soon as you swear, I will tell you immediately.”

The family heads exchanged glances, then nodded simultaneously. They all raised their hands and swore a great oath against the demons, guaranteeing that they would not reveal this method.

After they finished making their oaths against their inner demons, Lu Lingguang looked at everyone and said, “Alright, you’ve all sworn your oaths, so I’m relieved. I’ll tell you the method; it’s actually very simple. Because we worship a deity, that deity has enhanced the potential of our family disciples, making their cultivation speed faster, which is why it’s like this.”

Upon hearing Lu Lingguang’s words, the faces of the family heads changed. They were now very wary of worshipping deities. In fact, not only them, but the entire Divine Kingdom was extremely cautious about this, because worshipping a deity was tantamount to joining a sect, and sects were almost taboo in the Divine Kingdom.

The Creation God Sect, formerly the state religion, was later directly eradicated by the royal family, leading all forces in the Divine Kingdom. The Myriad Laws Sect, which was almost a replacement for the Creation Sect, had now become a traitor. Therefore, they were extremely wary of joining any sect. They now understood why Lu Lingguang insisted they swear an oath not to leak this information. If it were revealed, the Lu family would immediately face countless suspicious glances. The aristocratic alliance might even have to be wary of them, and there was a possibility they might even be eliminated.

Because of this, the family heads all looked grim. They exchanged glances, a hint of regret flashing in their eyes. They felt they shouldn’t have asked Lu Lingguang. If they hadn’t asked, they wouldn’t have known about this. Without knowing, even if the Lu family was purged, they wouldn’t have been affected. But now that they had asked, if something happened to the Lu family, they would definitely be implicated. Therefore, they already regretted their actions. (End of Chapter)
