Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16539

Chapter 16537 Crisis

In the realm of gods, many items used by lower-ranking deities are created by higher-ranking deities. However, even higher-ranking deities cannot create these items indefinitely. This is why resources are extremely precious in the realm of gods, explaining why items here often cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones – because they are scarce. However, in

reality, spirit stones are not abundant in the realm of gods. The reason spirit stones are used as a unit of currency is because they are the common currency in the lower realms, a practice that has been carried over to the realm of gods. But in truth, the basic currency in the realm of gods is the clay created by ordinary gods. This clay is considered a very low-level form of currency, though it cannot truly be called currency. Therefore, the realm of gods is essentially a barter system.

It was precisely because resources were so scarce in the God Realm that the Imperial Palace Flower Zhao Hai brought out was so popular. Zhao Hai also accumulated a considerable amount of soil in a short time; in about ten days, the amount of soil he had saved was more than that of the pine forest. Of course, the pine forest had also gained some soil these days, but compared to Zhao Hai’s, it was far less.

Zhao Hai wasn’t in a hurry. He was actually focusing more on the Xuanwu Space. The iron tree there had already borne several batches of fruit. They purified all the fruit, extracting some metals, but the quantity wasn’t large. After all, the soil was just ordinary soil. Although it was soil from the God Realm, the iron content was still very low. Even extracting it from the iron tree fruit was extremely difficult. Since the soil contained little iron, the iron tree absorbed even less iron, and naturally, the fruit contained little iron.

Wen Yuming and his ilk had tried extracting iron directly from the spiritual energy of the divine realm, but they found they couldn’t. Only those who had reached the divine level could condense soil or other things from the spiritual energy of the divine realm. Of course, they could also condense iron, but if they did, it would take several months or even a year to condense a piece of metal the size of a grain of rice. Therefore, under normal circumstances, cultivators wouldn’t condense iron first. They would first condense soil, then try to explore new realms, and then develop the people there into their followers. Once they had followers, they could have them help them collect metals from the lower realms. As long as those followers could give them the metals from the lower realms, they could use their spiritual power to slowly purify and refine those metals, eventually turning them into metals usable in the divine realm. This method was actually simpler than condensing metals in the divine realm themselves.

Of course, within the Blood Slaughter Sect, only Zhao Hai can currently condense metal directly from the spiritual energy of the Divine Realm. Zhao Hai hasn’t fully adapted to the spiritual energy of the Divine Realm yet, so even if he wanted to condense metal, he would have to wait until he was completely adapted. Therefore, now that this method exists to refine metal usable in the Divine Realm, Wen Yuming and the others naturally decided to try it.

To be honest, condensing metal using this method is actually quite fast for Wen Yuming and the others. Harvesting a batch of iron tree fruits allows them to refine a piece of metal the size of a soybean. Wen Yuming and the others have already collected enough metal the size of a walnut, but they’re not in a hurry. They plan to wait until they’ve refined enough metal to reach the size of a fist, then they can store this metal in the Real Illusion. As long as this metal can appear in the Real Illusion, they will have an endless supply of it. Then they can conduct various studies, create all sorts of alloys, and select the best one from these alloys to assimilate the outer shell of the Xuanwu Space, and then there won’t be any problems.

Zhao Hai was quite satisfied with Wen Yuming and his team’s performance. As the leader of the Blood Slaughter Sect, he couldn’t possibly handle everything himself. Wen Yuming and his team possessed the necessary abilities, so Zhao Hai confidently entrusted this task to them.

Moreover, Wen Yuming and his team weren’t just conducting this research; they were also working on another project: the research of magic arrays. They aimed to create an array that could absorb spiritual energy from the divine realm and transform it into substances like soil or metal. If this array succeeded, it would be a revolutionary breakthrough for the divine realm.

However, this wasn’t the most important aspect. Most importantly, Wen Yuming and his team were upgrading the most crucial magic array within the Blood Slaughter Sect: the Yin-Yang Thunder Pool. The

Yin-Yang Thunder Pool was the Blood Slaughter Sect’s energy source; its operation depended entirely on it. Even the Xuanwu Space relied on the energy provided by the Yin-Yang Thunder Pool. The cultivation techniques practiced by the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples also relied on the Yin-Yang Thunder Pool as their fundamental energy source. It was undoubtedly the most important magic array within the Blood Slaughter Sect.

However, the Yin-Yang Thunder Pool is currently experiencing some difficulties operating in the God Realm because the spiritual energy concentration there is too high. It’s like a diesel-powered car suddenly being given excessive fuel; it simply won’t run. Therefore, Wen Yuming and his group are currently upgrading the Yin-Yang Thunder Pool to allow it to directly absorb the spiritual energy of the God Realm. Only in this way can the Yin-Yang Thunder Pool continue to be used in the God Realm. Furthermore, Wen Yuming and his group believe that once they solve the problem with the Yin-Yang Thunder Pool, the Blood Slaughter Sect can undergo a major upgrade, and the Blood Slaughter Sect will have officially adapted to the God Realm.

Song Lin and the others were unaware of Zhao Hai’s plans or what he was doing. They only knew that Zhao Hai had recently earned a considerable amount of soil. They weren’t envious; in fact, they were quite happy because they had also earned a lot. In their view, the Underground Palace Flowers were provided by Zhao Hai, and they were merely helping to sell them to make a profit. What more could they ask for? Therefore, they weren’t jealous of Zhao Hai’s high earnings at all.

The Black Sea is truly a wonderful place. You might call it a slum in the divine realm, but it’s not as chaotic as other slums because no one dares to act here. This makes the Black Sea very safe, and transactions are also safe. So, although many gods residing in the Black Sea have bought the Underground Palace Flower, no one has bothered Zhao Hai and his group.

Meanwhile, the Skeleton God sat there frowning, looking at a report in his hand, and then said, “So, recently no one has come to us to help them build magic arrays?”

A cultivator responded, “Yes, my lord. Lately, no one has asked us to help them build magic arrays. I inquired, and it seems it’s because of the castle. The castle apparently told someone that we left a backdoor when we built their arrays, so no one is asking us anymore.”

Upon hearing this, the Skeleton God frowned and said, “Good, it really is him. Here’s what we’ll do: go and write a letter to everyone who previously asked us to build their arrays. Tell them that because our people weren’t skilled enough, they couldn’t build them perfectly, leaving loopholes. We’re now willing to help them fix these loopholes. See if they’re willing.”

The cultivator acknowledged, and the Skeleton God waved his hand, saying, “Alright, go.” The cultivator nodded, bowed to the Skeleton God, and then turned and left.

After he left, the Skeleton God frowned. Although the impact of this matter wasn’t significant yet, if such rumors persisted, their influence would grow. Most importantly, they couldn’t deal with the castle yet. Even if they could, if they did, people would believe the castle’s claims, confirming their suspicions and ending their lives.

It was better to tell those people they were inexperienced with, offering to patch the flaws in the magic array and promising not to attack them again. In fact,

leaving backdoors in magic arrays when building them was something all array masters did. It didn’t necessarily mean they intended to use these loopholes against the castle, but rather they were prepared for a potential attack. If the castle did attack, they could use the loopholes to their advantage—a defensive measure.

Of course, no one would believe this. Even if the Skeleton God told the Castle God that leaving a loophole in their magic array was for self-preservation, the Castle God wouldn’t believe it. After all, no one would willingly reveal their weaknesses, especially in the cultivation world—it’s tantamount to suicide.

The Skeleton God even believed that Zhao Hai had left a backup plan in the castle’s magic array, but the castle wouldn’t believe him anyway. So, he could only try to remedy the situation.

Thinking of this, the Skeleton God couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He was indeed somewhat annoyed that Zhao Hai had ruined his plans, but he also knew that Zhao Hai couldn’t really be blamed. If they were truly skilled, they could have made the magic array appear flawless, preventing Zhao Hai from spotting any flaws. Unfortunately, they didn’t have that ability, so they had to accept the loss.

Upon thinking of Zhao Hai, the Skeleton God couldn’t help but think of Zhao Hai’s enemies. He pondered for a moment, then said, “Someone come here.” Immediately, a cultivator entered, bowed to the Skeleton God, and said, “My lord.”

The Skeleton God nodded and then said, “Go and have someone inquire about a deity called the God of Creation. See if you can find him. Remember, inquire secretly, don’t let anyone discover you.” The cultivator acknowledged, bowed to the Skeleton God, and then turned and left.

The Skeleton God stood up, glanced outside, and then, with a thought, his Skeleton God Kingdom changed direction and flew deeper into the God Realm. (End of Chapter)
