Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16505

Chapter 16503 Human Nature

Wen Wenhai and the others immediately understood Zhao Hai’s meaning. The Blood Slaughter Sect was simply too vast. Transferring someone meant you might never see that person again, even if you were a cultivator. You might never see that person again in your entire life because the Blood Slaughter Sect was just too big.

Therefore, gathering those who didn’t genuinely believe in Zhao Hai together and then dealing with them was definitely the best option. After all, for the people of the Blood Slaughter Sect, those who didn’t believe in Zhao Hai were absolutely a hidden danger within the sect, and such people had to be dealt with.

Wen Wenhai responded and took the list. Then he looked at Zhao Hai and asked, “Boss, when are we going to ascend?”

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “No rush. There are many disciples in the sect who are weak, but they are very ambitious and eager to cultivate. So let’s stay in this realm for a while longer, and ascend when they are stronger. After all, once we ascend, we don’t know what the situation in the upper realm is like, and whether it will affect their cultivation. There were many people in the sect before who had to be eliminated because we ascended too quickly, and their cultivation couldn’t keep up.”

Wen Wenhai and the others all agreed. To be honest, many of those who were eliminated were their friends, but they simply couldn’t keep up with the sect’s pace and had to be eliminated. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to work hard; they just couldn’t keep up.

Although the Blood Slaughter Sect could provide those individuals with the best conditions, the most suitable cultivation methods, and the best resources, they still couldn’t keep up. This wasn’t their fault; it was because their bodies couldn’t adapt to the new realm after ascension, naturally slowing their cultivation speed. Ultimately, they simply couldn’t keep up and were eliminated.

Ascension comes at a price; not everyone can adapt. The reason Wen Wenhai and his group remain in high positions is because few of their contemporaries are still alive; most have been eliminated. The fact that Wen Wenhai and his group have survived and remain in the top tier of the Blood Slaughter Sect is a miracle in itself. Therefore, Zhao Hai naturally shows them exceptional care and trust.

Of course, Laura and her group can’t compare to Wen Wenhai and his group. They spend most of their time living in Zhao Hai’s space, so they weren’t affected by ascension. Even so, their strength is currently not among the top in the Blood Slaughter Sect. If they weren’t Zhao Hai’s wives, they would have been eliminated long ago. The cultivation world is indeed cruel like that.

Of course, those who were eliminated actually fared quite well. Most of them died of old age. In fact, they could have lived forever, but they chose death themselves.

Many cultivators actually choose death. Their bodies might be fine, but their hearts grew old and died, and their bodies naturally died slowly as well.

From those people, Zhao Hai also saw another possibility: no matter how strong you are, once you have no attachment to this world, you may really be close to death. And such a death, even if you don’t commit suicide, is still a choice you made.

This is why Zhao Hai sometimes still personally intervenes, even personally getting involved in the Blood Slaughter Sect’s affairs. With the Blood Slaughter Sect’s current strength, Zhao Hai doesn’t really need to intervene. There’s no need for him to. Whatever happens, he just needs to give the order, and the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect can handle it all.

However, Zhao Hai would still personally participate in the Blood Slaughter Sect’s operations because he needed to keep himself occupied. Sometimes, people can’t be too idle; if you’re too idle, you’ll feel utterly useless, like no one in the world needs you anymore. This will gradually cause you to lose all interest in life, and your spirit will slowly collapse.

Like this time in the Divine Kingdom, there were many times when Zhao Hai didn’t need to take action at all. They could have ended things there much earlier, but they weren’t in a hurry. Instead, they slowly maneuvered with the people of the Divine Kingdom. It wasn’t that they lacked strength; they were acting. They wanted to see how the people of the Divine Kingdom would react. The most important reason for doing this was simply that they were bored and wanted to find something to do.

Whether it’s Wen Wenhai or Ding Chunming, they’ve all lived long enough and experienced all sorts of things. They’re actually quite bored, which is why they acted this way in the Divine Kingdom and played along with the people there for so long. Otherwise, they probably would have dealt with the people in the Divine Kingdom long ago.

Of course, they also wanted to stay in the divine kingdom a little longer to improve their strength, which was very important. But the most important reason was simply that they were incredibly bored and needed something to do.

This kind of feeling is incomprehensible to most people. Many cultivators spend their entire lives pursuing immortality, but when they finally achieve it and pose no threat, what awaits them is not something wonderful, but endless loneliness—a loneliness without end, something more terrifying than death.

This is why Zhao Hai insisted on keeping Laura and the others alive, and why he always kept the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples with him. Half of the reason was responsibility, and the other half was because Zhao Hai didn’t want to be too lonely; loneliness is too terrifying.

Some might say, “You’re a cultivator; you should be used to loneliness by now. Why are you afraid of it?” It’s actually quite simple. Getting used to loneliness and getting used to solitude are two different things. If you were a cultivator, and you saw your relatives, friends, all your acquaintances, leaving you one by one, even your children, your friends’ children, everyone related to you slowly leaving you, what would you think? Would you feel that your life still has meaning? Maybe a year or two is okay, but you’ve achieved immortality, eternal life! That means you’ll live forever, but there will be no one in this world who cares about you anymore, no one you care about anymore, not even a single familiar face. Would you feel that your life still has meaning?

Why did so many eliminated cultivators in the Blood Slaughter Sect, despite having many years left in their lives, die silently, their souls dissipating completely? It’s because they couldn’t bear that loneliness, that endless solitude, that feeling of despair. They couldn’t endure it, so they died.

Zhao Hai was deeply moved. He realized that cultivators always pursued immortality, but when true immortality arrived, what awaited them wasn’t joy, but their greatest inner demons: loneliness, solitude, and despair. How could this not be considered an inner demon? And it was an indestructible one.

Many people said that when you truly comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, you will be happy at any time. When you truly merge with the Great Dao, you will have no more emotions; you will feel the grandeur of the Great Dao, your heart will be filled with the joy of comprehending it, and you will never again experience loneliness, solitude, or despair. However,

Zhao Hai disagreed with this view. If you truly merged with the Great Dao and had no other emotions, would you still be yourself? You would become a part of the Great Dao, and you would no longer be yourself. This was what Zhao Hai most opposed. Zhao

Hai always believed that he was a person. A person can comprehend the Great Dao, understand it, and use it, but you cannot truly become the Great Dao. If you truly become the Great Dao, you lose yourself; you become merely a part of the Great Dao.

This is precisely why, although Zhao Hai comprehended the Great Dao of Runes, you can only say he comprehended and mastered it, but you cannot say he became the Great Dao of Runes. Zhao Hai always retained his humanity; he experienced a variety of emotions. He would be angry because of the betrayal of his sect members, happy to be with Laura and the others, and delighted to chat with Wen Wenhai and the others. These emotions are simply part of humanity. If one loses even humanity, what difference is there between them and a heartless stone?

If Zhao Hai hadn’t intentionally maintained his humanity, then the moment he comprehended the Great Dao of Runes, he would have become the Rune Space itself. At that point, Zhao Hai would no longer exist in this world, and naturally, he wouldn’t be controlling the Rune Space; rather, he would have become the Rune Space.

Many cultivators believe that once a cultivator reaches a certain level, they must sever all emotions and love, eliminate their humanity as much as possible, uphold heavenly principles, and extinguish human desires. However, in Zhao Hai’s view, they have gone down the wrong path from the very beginning. Cultivators cannot take this path; it is wrong, it is an evil path. Once they embark on that path, they will eventually lose themselves and turn into a stone. No cultivator cultivates to the point of becoming a stone, so Zhao Hai would never do that.

The reason Zhao Hai hasn’t ascended yet is that he’s seeking a balance. He wants to maintain his humanity while simultaneously maintaining complete control over the runes, including the rune space. If he could achieve this, his strength would increase significantly. Therefore, Zhao Hai believes he’s not yet at his strongest; he still has room for improvement. This means there might be beings stronger than him in the Upper Realm. For the safety of the Blood Slaughter Sect, he must stay in this realm for a longer period, maximizing his strength to ensure he can face any danger after ascension. After all, he’s already offended many gods in the Upper Realm while in this realm. If he doesn’t become stronger, things could be very dangerous once he ascends. (End of Chapter)
