Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16474

Chapter 16472. Satire

It’s not that cultivators are inherently base or destined to be exploited; rather, it’s because cultivators are actually more afraid of death, more reluctant to die, and more selfish. This is because cultivators have much longer lifespans than ordinary people, and it’s precisely because of this longer lifespan that they are even more unwilling to die. Those cultivators who can truly die for their path are actually a minority. For most cultivators, they simply want to live, even if it means losing something.

And for cultivators, if you want to live well, you must have value. If you truly have no value, why would anyone allow you to live well? Are they just there to waste resources? This is their mindset, so they naturally assumed that the Blood Slaughter Sect thought the same way. Therefore, when they heard Gongliang Juewen say that they were useful to Zhao Hai, they were actually relieved.

Gongliang Juewen understood these people very well. He had spent half his life in a love-hate relationship with them, and he knew their mentality all too well. Don’t be fooled by their seemingly fearless demeanor in front of outsiders; if given a chance to live, they would never give it up.

Gongliang Juewen looked at Qingxuan and the others, then said, “Qingxuan, now you all know the sect’s intentions. Make your decision. As long as you agree to join the sect, it will provide you with corresponding benefits, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

Qingxuan looked at Gongliang Juewen and asked, “After the sect conquers the Divine Kingdom, will it ascend?”

Gongliang Juewen said in a deep voice, “It won’t ascend immediately. Once it ascends, the sect will face enemies like the God of Creation. Of course, the sect leader isn’t afraid of them, but that might affect us. Therefore, the sect will try to stay in this realm for as long as possible.” “Let’s maximize our strength. The sect leader will only ascend when this realm is determined to expel him. Otherwise, he won’t ascend. After all, the longer he stays in this realm, the more advantageous it is for us.”

Qingxuan nodded, then turned to look at the others and said, “We agree to join the Blood Slaughter Sect, but we need to discuss this matter thoroughly with the sect members after we return. After all, we’ve always been enemies.”

Everyone else nodded as well. Gongliang Juewen gave them a deep look and then said, “You just need to know what you’re supposed to do.” “That’s good. Don’t have any inappropriate thoughts.”

Qingxuan and the others all understood Gongliang Juewen’s meaning. Gongliang Juewen was worried they would change their minds. Qingxuan immediately said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I promise I won’t.”

Gongliang Juewen glanced at Qingxuan and the others, then continued, “Actually, most people here in the Divine Kingdom have already joined sects. Only you people haven’t joined yet. Apart from your respective sects and families, everyone else has joined a sect. Even ordinary people are now members of sects. If you change your minds, then you have no reason to live. Don’t think that…” “The sect will definitely let you join, but they can also choose not to. If you go back on your word this time, you’ll be deceiving the sect, and the sect won’t have any reason to be polite to you anymore. They’ll kill you, but won’t resurrect you; they’ll make your soul imprints disappear. Do you understand what I mean?”

Upon hearing Gongliang Juewen’s words, Qingxuan and the others were stunned. Their expressions changed drastically. Gongliang Juewen was telling them that if they agreed but then went back on their word, the Blood Slaughter Sect would take their lives without resurrecting them; they would truly die.

Qingxuan let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, I understand.” The others all nodded, indicating they understood.

Gongliang Juewen nodded, and then his figure vanished. Seeing Gongliang Juewen disappear like that, Qingxuan and the others exchanged bewildered glances. To be honest, they didn’t understand how Gongliang Juewen had done it. They didn’t even dare to speak carelessly, worried that Gongliang Juewen might suddenly reappear, or that he was hiding somewhere watching them. If Gongliang Juewen was indeed watching them, and they had said something wrong, the consequences would be very serious.

Qingxuan let out a long breath, then turned to look at everyone before speaking, “There’s no turning back now. Once you’ve made a decision, don’t regret it. We’ve decided to join the Blood Slaughter Sect, so there’s no reason to back down. Everyone, go back and prepare. First, talk to the kingdom-level experts in the sect, then talk to the disciples below. As long as the kingdom-level experts agree, the disciples will be easier to talk to.”

Everyone responded, and Qingxuan then said, “Alright, let’s go back then. I’ll be going now.” After saying that, he bowed to everyone, then turned and left. Seeing Qingxuan leave, the others exchanged glances, bowed to each other, and then turned and left.

Qingxuan quickly returned to the Heavenly Profound Sect. As soon as he returned, he went directly to the Heavenly Profound Sect’s council hall and had his disciples summon all the kingdom-level experts and hall masters of the sect to the council hall.

After they all arrived at the council hall, Qingxuan remained silent for a long time, which puzzled the experts of the Tianxuan Sect, who all looked at him with confusion.

After a while, Qingxuan finally spoke, “When we went to the meeting today, we met someone.”

He glanced at everyone and continued, “It was Gongliang Juewen.”

Upon hearing Qingxuan’s words, the crowd was initially stunned, then erupted in an uproar. Gongliang Juewen! They had previously suspected that Gongliang Juewen might have betrayed them, and now that he had reappeared, it confirmed their suspicions—Gongliang Juewen had indeed betrayed them.

Qingxuan glanced at the crowd, and they gradually fell silent. They suddenly realized the purpose of Qingxuan’s words. Qingxuan said they had seen Gongliang Juewen, which meant they hadn’t attacked him. What that implied was perfectly clear to them.

Upon realizing this, the crowd gradually fell silent. Qingxuan looked at them and said, “I think you’ve all guessed it. That’s right, Gongliang Juewen has come to persuade us to surrender. What are your thoughts on this?”

No one spoke, but instead exchanged glances. Then, an elder spoke up, “Sect Master, judging from your expression, you’ve agreed?”

His words drew everyone’s attention, and they all looked at Qingxuan. Qingxuan looked at them and said, “What? Do you have any objections?”

The crowd exchanged glances, then all shook their heads. One of them said, “No objections, but if we join the Blood Slaughter Sect, will we be killed and then resurrected? If that’s the case, to be honest, I’d rather not surrender.” The others all nodded in agreement.

Qingxuan looked at them and said in a deep voice, “They said that what we consider death and what they call death are not the same thing. In fact, they can be resurrected, and their resurrection is a true resurrection, a resurrection with all memories and emotions. Moreover, after joining them, we can obtain eternal life.”

Upon hearing Qingxuan’s words, everyone remained silent for a long while. Finally, one cultivator spoke up, “What about the other sects and families? What did they say?”

Qingxuan looked at them and said in a deep voice, “Everyone. They all agreed. They also agreed to surrender because they didn’t want to fight anymore. After all, with our…” “Our current strength is no match for the Blood Slaughter Sect. Those we thought were dead are now all members of the Blood Slaughter Sect. There’s no point in resisting anymore.”

Hearing this, the others were stunned. They exchanged glances, and one of them spoke up: “Sect Master, do you think we should join them even if they kill us and then resurrect us?”

Qingxuan looked at them and said in a deep voice, “Tell me the truth, do you want to die?”

Everyone shook their heads. Who wanted to die? No one wanted to die. They were all cultivators with long lives, so they were even less inclined to die.

Qingxuan looked at their expressions and continued, “No one wants to die, and neither do I. This time, the Blood Slaughter Sect has issued an ultimatum: if we don’t surrender, they will kill us, but they won’t resurrect us. In that case, we’ll truly be dead.”

Upon hearing Qingxuan’s words, the elders’ faces all changed. They had just said that if the Blood Slaughter Sect wanted to kill them and then resurrect them, they would rather die. Now, hearing that the Blood Slaughter Sect really intended to kill them without resurrection, they panicked.

The irony lies here: these guys thought they could fight the Blood Slaughter Sect, die in battle, and then be resurrected, allowing them to legitimately join the sect. This way, they not only joined the Blood Slaughter Sect but also preserved their reputation—a classic case of wanting to have one’s cake and eat it too.

These people were actually quite aware that many of the cultivators they thought had been killed by the Blood Slaughter Sect might have simply surrendered, not actually died. If they had truly died in battle and then been resurrected before joining the Blood Slaughter Sect, then when they encountered those who had surrendered in the sect, they could hold their heads high and tell them, “We’re tough guys! We didn’t surrender; we died in battle and were resurrected to join the Blood Slaughter Sect. We’re not like you spineless cowards!”

It sounds unbelievable that they would fight the Blood Slaughter Sect endlessly for such a small amount of face. But sometimes, people are like that; they can do many foolish things for the sake of so-called face. Just like now, they originally wanted to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the end for the sake of face, since the Blood Slaughter Sect would resurrect them anyway. This actually strengthened their determination to fight the Blood Slaughter Sect to the end. But when they heard that the Blood Slaughter Sect would not resurrect them, they dared not fight the Blood Slaughter Sect anymore. (End of this chapter)
