Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16501

16499. Chapter 16499 Mortal Realm

Many who join the Blood Slaughter Sect are unaware that the sect’s realm is layered. The next layer is their own, the realm where they live normally. This realm is now habitually referred to by the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples as the Cultivation Realm. Below this realm, there is another layer inhabited by those rejected by the sect. This layer is called the Mortal Realm. In other words, the realm inhabited by those on that layer is no longer the Cultivation Realm; they are simply mortals. The people on that layer are all mortals, even if they may live longer.

You only learn these things once you reach a certain level. Of course, sects don’t just randomly eliminate people. Generally, it’s those who simply can’t keep up with the sect’s pace. For example, the sect is about to ascend, but many disciples haven’t even reached the Qi level. If their progress is still slow after the sect ascends, they’ll find they can’t catch up with others, and they’ll lose the motivation to continue cultivating. Because of this, they gradually stop wanting to cultivate. At this point, someone from the sect will come and tell you, “You don’t want to cultivate anymore. After all, you still have to do tasks on this level. There’s a place where you don’t need to do any tasks and can live the life you want. How about it? Do you want to go?” Most people will want to go, and that place is the mortal realm.

Life in the mortal realm is quite good. No one makes you do tasks, you no longer need to cultivate diligently, and no one watches over you. If your monthly progress doesn’t meet the sect’s expectations, no one will ask you what the problem is, and no one will care whether your cultivation method is unsuitable or whether the resources given to you are unsuitable. No one cares about you anymore. You can receive some supplies every month, and you won’t have to worry about food or drink. You’ll also have people to chat with. You can play chess together, talk about things you’re interested in, or even do things that interest you. Do you like this kind of life? Of course you will. However, at the same time, you will run out of resources for cultivation. From then on, your strength may become more difficult to improve, or even stop improving altogether. Over time, when your lifespan runs out, you will die. This is life in the mortal realm.

Such a life might be very attractive to some, but for people like Qingxuan, the mortal realm is the most despairing place. In the upper realm, you can progress, and you even have the possibility of immortality, but in the mortal realm, there is no longer any chance. It is a place of despair for cultivators.

There’s another important reason why the mortal realm is called this: those who enter the mortal realm often die before their predetermined lifespan. As Lin Ru said, a cultivator might reach the Qi level but no longer want to cultivate, so he enters the mortal realm. Such cultivators can usually live for over a hundred years, at least a hundred years. Moreover, after entering the mortal realm, there is no more fighting, the food is good, and the water is from the finest spiritual springs; they live a very comfortable life every day. Such people should be able to live a long time, but unfortunately, they usually don’t even live to be a hundred.

No one kills them, they don’t get sick, they die of natural causes. Why do they die of natural causes? Logically, they could live much longer, even decades more without a problem. Why do they die?

The reason is actually quite simple: they lost hope; their hearts died. They were cultivators; they knew what the mortal realm was like—a place for retirement, a place to wait for death. They knew that once they arrived, there was no longer any possibility of immortality, so their hearts slowly died, and their mentality aged accordingly. Because they had lost all hope of living, this mindset affected their bodies, causing them to age slowly, and eventually, they naturally died.

This is similar to a medical theory: many people say that people with cancer don’t actually die from the cancer itself. How do they die? They die from fear. If someone has cancer and you don’t tell them, only saying it’s a minor ailment, they might live a good life. But once people know they have cancer, they die quickly, much sooner than the doctor tells them. Why? Because they are scared to death.

These cultivators who entered the mortal realm were the same; they knew that arriving there meant waiting to die. Because of this, their mentality changed, and they naturally died in the end.

In the Blood Slaughter Sect, almost no one who enters the mortal realm can return to the cultivation world. This is because they entered the mortal realm because they lacked the will to cultivate; how could they possibly think of climbing back up? It’s unrealistic. Therefore, most people who enter the mortal realm die; no one can return to the cultivation world.

Within the Blood Slaughter Sect, some information is only accessible to those who have reached a certain level. Qingxuan, as a branch hall master, holds a high position within the sect. Because of this, he can access information that ordinary elders cannot, which is why he knows of the existence of the mortal realm—something most Blood Slaughter Sect disciples are unaware of.

Knowing of the mortal realm’s existence motivates Qingxuan to work even harder to improve himself. He doesn’t want to wait to die in the mortal realm. While the people of the mortal realm might not feel like they’re waiting to die—they might even feel they’re living well—Qingxuan sees them as simply waiting to die.

Therefore, Qingxuan was actually a little nervous. He didn’t want anyone from Tianxuan Sect to fall behind. So after chatting with the people from Tianxuan Sect for a while, Qingxuan said to them, “Now that the sect is giving us such good conditions, we should work even harder to cultivate. Otherwise, we would be wasting such good resources. What do you all think?”

Everyone nodded, and then one cultivator spoke up, “Yes, I’ve never received so many resources since I started cultivating. But Elder… why are you suddenly bringing this up?”

Qingxuan glanced at everyone and then said, “Actually, it’s nothing. I’m just reminding you not to take these resources for granted and become complacent. If you do, you’ll truly be letting down the resources the sect has given us.”

Everyone nodded. They didn’t suspect anything. Qingxuan wanted to tell them the truth, but the sect had rules that he couldn’t tell others what he knew. So he couldn’t say it. He just hoped they would listen to him; otherwise, it would be a great pity.

After chatting for a while, they all logged off. Although this incident had greatly impacted them, they were mostly relieved that they were safe now. Of course, they just sighed and thanked Qingxuan; as for deeper feelings, they didn’t really have any.

Many others shared the same reaction as those from the Tianxuan Sect that day, especially those from sects that had previously disbanded but had joined the Blood Slaughter Sect. They were incredibly relieved that their sects had been dissolved; otherwise, they might have been in real danger, possibly suffering the same fate as Wan Hai and his group.

Those from other sects were well aware that Wan Hai’s Wan family was extremely powerful, comparable to, or even stronger than, the Tianxuan Sect. Yet, such a family had been wiped out, not a single member spared, which terrified them. They all wondered if their sects, if not disbanded, would have suffered the same fate—this was their greatest fear.

The elders of the Blood Slaughter Sect had a simpler perspective. They felt no sympathy for Liu E. In their eyes, Liu E’s actions were tantamount to betraying the sect, and traitors naturally receive no sympathy. Furthermore, they viewed the sect’s actions as entirely justified—to nip the problem in the bud. Why wait for Liu E’s family to retaliate later? They genuinely believed the sect had done nothing wrong.

As for Wan Hai and his group, the older disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect cared even less. In their eyes, how dare these newly joined families negotiate with the sect? Were they insane? What was wrong with the sect punishing them? It would be wrong if the sect didn’t punish them!

In fact, the older disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect were unaware that not all members of Liu E’s family had been killed. Many of Liu E’s family members had long since severed ties with him. After being transferred to other branches, they lived their own lives there, having long since lost contact with Liu E. Although they were still members of the Liu family, they were no longer truly connected to it. Moreover, Liu E had previously called these people, wanting to invite them to join him in an operation, but they refused. Some even told Liu E directly that they were leaving the family. The Blood Slaughter Sect would not touch such people, since they had not committed any wrongdoing, so why should they be targeted?

After hearing about Liu E and his group, those people were terrified, fearing they would be implicated. However, the Blood Slaughter Sect didn’t do that. In fact, the managing elders even visited them to comfort them, telling them that Liu E and his group were themselves and had nothing to do with them. The sect knew about them, so they should just live their lives as usual. This reassured them, but also made them understand that the sect knew their background and they shouldn’t act recklessly.
