Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2289: Adapting the Body

<>|TOC|Next->

Upon hearing their words, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile faintly. The current situation was indeed as described. In the Tyrant Blade Sect, Zhao Hai was merely a true disciple, while in the Long Clan, he was an important guest elder, holding a position no lower than that of a core disciple in an ordinary sect. In the Battle Corpse Sect, he was Wei Tiande’s personal disciple, and Wei Tiande’s position in the Battle Corpse Sect was no less than that of the Yin-Yang Elders in the Tyrant Blade Sect. Therefore, Zhao Hai’s position in the Battle Corpse Sect was no less than that in the Tyrant Blade Sect. And in the Forbidden Path Sect, he was even more remarkable. If he passed the trial of the Blood Demon Realm, he would become a core disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect.

The Forbidden Path Sect is a sect even larger than the Tyrant Blade Sect. Becoming a core disciple in the Forbidden Path Sect is far more desirable than being a true disciple in the Tyrant Blade Sect. However, Zhao Hai still considers himself a member of the Tyrant Blade Sect, which deeply moved the Yin Yang Elders.

Cultivation is about defying fate and changing one’s destiny. Cultivators will not let go of any opportunity to improve themselves. Although the Tyrant Blade Sect is one of the eighty-one great sects in the True Spirit Realm, in terms of strength, it is still much weaker than the Forbidden Path Sect. The treatment of a core disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect is much better than that of a true disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect. Even if Zhao Hai changes his name and becomes a core disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect, and does not consider himself a true disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect, the Tyrant Blade Sect cannot say anything. They cannot even use this method to attack Zhao Hai, because no sect is willing to give up any genius.

Under these circumstances, it’s truly commendable that Zhao Hai still considers himself a member of the Tyrant Blade Sect. To be honest, among Zhao Hai’s various identities, aside from being a disciple of Wei Tiande of the Battle Corpse Sect, being a guest elder of the Long Clan or a core disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect are far more appealing than being a true disciple of the Tyrant Blade Sect. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Hai’s actions are all the more commendable.

However, Zhao Hai didn’t care about this. He never lacked cultivation resources, techniques, or even a suitable environment. He simply wanted to do what he loved. Although he still wouldn’t dare say he could do whatever he wanted, in his view, feelings were what mattered most. The Tyrant Blade Sect was his first sect and he considered it home, so going anywhere else wouldn’t change anything. He still considered it home, and that was the most important thing.

Zhao Hai bowed to the Yin-Yang Elders and said, “Master, what are you saying? Zhao Hai is a member of the Tyrant Blade Sect, and always will be. Master, I can’t stay out for too long this time. I still need to visit the Long Clan, and then I’ll return to the Forbidden Path Sect. I need to get used to my new strength going for the Blood Demon Realm trial.”

The Yin Yang Elders nodded, then Elder Yin said, “Alright, you go. Remember, if you need any help, be sure to send a word.” Zhao Hai nodded, bowed to the two of them, and then led Laura and the others away.

The Yin Yang Elders sighed as they looked at the spot where Zhao Hai disappeared. The Yin Elder then said to The Yang Elder, “Old Yang, what do you think Little Hai is trying to do? What kind of plan could he possibly have with the Forbidden Path Sect?”

The Yin Elder shook his head and said, “Little Hai is very meticulous. The grand plan he mentioned probably hasn’t been implemented yet, but I believe he won’t let us down.”

The Yin Elder nodded and said, “I don’t care whether his plan succeeds or not, as long as he is safe, that’s more important than anything else.” The Yang Elder also nodded, neither of them had the interest to talk anymore, because they were both worried about Zhao Hai.

At this time, Zhao Hai had already arrived at the Long Clan. The Long Clan was still as lively as ever, and it was almost completely isolated from the outside world. Therefore, no one outside knew anything about Zhao Hai’s activities at the Long Clan. Because of this, Zhao Hai was quite relaxed at Coiling Dragon City.

Upon arriving in Coiling Dragon City, Zhao Hai went to see Long Dingtian. The Long Clan hadn’t been in any trouble lately. Although they were preparing for a possible upheaval, outsiders were unaware of it, and the impact on Coiling Dragon City wasn’t significant. After all, Coiling Dragon City was the Long Clan’s most important base, and there wasn’t much to prepare there.

After chatting with Long Dingtian about his experiences over the past year, Zhao Hai stayed in Coiling Dragon City for two days before returning to the Forbidden Path Sect. Once there, he wrote a letter to Wei Tiande, recounting his cultivation journey at the sect over the past year. Of course, he didn’t tell the whole story. He only mentioned that he had undergone the trials according to the sect’s methods. He didn’t elaborate on how well he had performed during the trials.

After explaining his current status within the Forbidden Path Sect, Zhao Hai received a letter from Wei Tiande. The Battle Corpse Sect, having heard that Zhao Hai had become an inner disciple, instructed him to continue his cultivation there. Furthermore, the Battle Corpse Sect had decided to elevate Zhao Hai to the status of a core disciple. Of course, he received no benefits whatsoever, only the title of core disciple. They also promised that upon returning to the Underworld and the Battle Corpse Sect, he would immediately receive core disciple treatment and all the benefits he had accumulated over the years.

This is somewhat like issuing a blank check, but Zhao Hai is clear that if he really returns to the underworld, then the Battle Corpse Sect will definitely fulfill all its promises.

Zhao Hai was well aware of the situation of the Battle Corpse Sect. They never mistreated anyone who infiltrated the True Spirit Realm. In fact, not only the Battle Corpse Sect, but any sect in the underworld would treat its infiltrators well, because they needed intelligence from the True Spirit Realm. Gathering intelligence in the True Spirit Realm was an extremely dangerous task. If they couldn’t keep their promises, no one would come to the True Spirit Realm to gather intelligence in the future, which would be detrimental to them.

Naturally, Zhao Hai didn’t care about the status of a core disciple of the Battle Corpse Sect. Zhao Hai was certain that even if his identity was exposed in the Forbidden Path Sect, as long as he returned to the Tyrant Blade Sect, he would definitely be a core disciple. The reason why the Tyrant Blade Sect hadn’t made him a core disciple was to prevent his identity from being exposed. After all, in the True Spirit Realm, any true disciple who wanted to become a core disciple had to make contributions to the sect in addition to having talent in cultivation. Otherwise, they would never be able to become a core disciple.

Zhao Hai’s time with the Tyrant Blade Sect was too short. Aside from improving the land at the foot of the mountain, he didn’t achieve much. If the Tyrant Blade Sect were to suddenly promote him to a core disciple at this time, it would definitely arouse suspicion, especially if major sects wanted to seriously investigate him. He could be exposed. Therefore, for his safety, the Tyrant Blade Sect would not elevate his status.

However, if Zhao Hai’s identity was exposed, then the Tyrant Blade Sect will have no more reasons to hold back and will naturally give Zhao Hai the corresponding status.

At the same time, one can’t say that Zhao Hai became a core disciple of the Forbidden Path Sect without any merit. That’s not the case. In fact, in the Forbidden Path Sect’s view, Zhao Hai’s submission of the Demon Subjugation Technique was a huge achievement. His promotion from outer disciple to inner disciple was due to his talent. While the Forbidden Path Sect would reward Zhao Hai with the Divine Elephant King Body, obtaining a legitimate Buddhist body cultivation technique was extremely important for the sect’s development. Therefore, Zhao Hai has already been credited with a great contribution.

The reason why the Forbidden Path Sect hasn’t promoted Zhao Hai to a core disciple yet is because Zhao Hai’s contributions are still somewhat insufficient. However, Zhao Hai will soon have an opportunity to make contributions, which is the Blood Demon Realm Trial in a month.

While the trials in the Blood Demon Realm offer numerous benefits to cultivators, its advantage for the Forbidden Path Sect was more prominent. The Blood Demon Realm is rich in spiritual herbs and minerals, and most importantly, it produces a type of demon blood. This demon blood is extremely helpful for the Forbidden Path Sect’s cultivation of the Evil Buddha Lotus Body, making it a crucial cultivation material. When Zhao Hai enters the Blood Demon Realm, the sect will instruct him to bring back as much demon blood as possible. If Zhao Hai brings back enough demon blood, it will be a great achievement, allowing the Forbidden Path Sect to legitimately promote him to a core disciple without any objections. 𝙧åŊօ𐌱Ɛṩ

Zhao Hai wasn’t particularly concerned about these matters. In fact, the grand plan he had mentioned to the Yin Yang Elders was nothing more than a delusion in his head. He was well aware that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to complete that plan. So, all he needed to do now was focus on his cultivation.

After communicating with Wei Tiande, Zhao Hai began to adapt to the power within his body. The year of ascetic training had yielded tremendous gains for Zhao Hai. Even without crystallizing his body, his physical defense was now about thirty times stronger than before. His increased physical strength also caused Zhao Hai’s combat power to skyrocket. Zhao Hai was even confident that if he were to face Long Batian now, he could defeat him in just ten moves without even taking flight.

When strength reaches a certain level, it becomes a weapon. And when your defense matches your power, you become a human weapon. Zhao Hai is like that. Even if he just stands there and lets Long Batian hit him, Long Batian probably can’t break through his defense. And if Long Batian is hit by Zhao Hai even once, he will be seriously injured and be on the verge of death. So if Long Batian encounters Zhao Hai again, he’s doomed.

However, because Zhao Hai’s spiritual qi was almost completely sealed during that year, it was not an easy task for him to make his spiritual qi be completely in harmony with his body.

Zhao Hai’s body was already incredibly strong. And after a year of tempering, it has become even stronger. To achieve complete harmony between his spiritual qi and his body, he needs to put in far more effort than others. Otherwise, he can only unleash ten or twenty percent of his combat power. Only when his body and spiritual qi are perfectly in sync can he unleash his full combat potential.

Zhao Hai now knows how the Forbidden Path Sect sealed his spiritual qi. The method itself isn’t important, the principle lies in the iron armor. When Zhao Hai first put on that iron armor, he had a very strange feeling. He felt that there was something familiar about it. In the end, Zhao Hai realized that the iron armor must have been forged with stone powder from the Heart Refining Road, which was why it could suppress a person’s spiritual qi.

Actually, Zhao Hai was very curious about the Heart Refining Road. He really wanted to know why the stones there were so strange. Unfortunately, the Heart Refining Road was a forbidden area of ​​the Forbidden Path Sect. Without permission, if you went there, you would be hunted down by the sect.

Moreover, disciples are not allowed to damage the Heart Refining Road. You can go to the Heart Refining Road to try your luck, but if you dare to damage any part of it, even if you only knock down a stone, you will be severely punished by the sect. At the same time, the stone you knock down will be taken away and not left for you, not even a piece of dust.

Most importantly, Zhao Hai now realizes that the Heart Refining Road only works on experts below the Teleportation Realm. Once you reach the Teleportation Realm, the Heart Refining Road will have very little effect on you, and once you reach the Diamond Body Realm, the Heart Refining Road will be completely useless to you.

It is precisely for this reason that the Heart Refining Road of the Forbidden Path Sect has always been very mysterious. Other sects have tried to study the Heart Refining Road, but none of them have succeeded. This has made Zhao Hai even more curious about the Heart Refining Road. He also wants to obtain a stone from the Heart Refining Road to see why that situation occurs there.

However, so far, Zhao Hai hasn’t had the chance. Originally, he wanted to get a piece of iron armor into the Space, and then the Space would deconstruct it to obtain the stone from the Heart Refining Road. But this method doesn’t work because the iron armor is not allowed to be destroyed, and it’s also reinforced with multiple defensive formations. If Zhao Hai destroys the iron armor, he will be discovered, which will cause even more trouble. So, Zhao Hai hasn’t obtained any stone from the Heart Refining Road yet. Although he obtained the hallucinogenic energy from the Heart Refining Road, he still hasn’t obtained even a small piece of that stone, which makes Zhao Hai very annoyed.

Despite his displeasure, Zhao Hai knew that it was impossible for him to obtain stones from the Heart Refining Road right now. He had to wait for an opportunity. What he needed to do now was to get his body in sync with the spiritual qi.

Over the next few days, Zhao Hai was getting used to his body. Fortunately, Zhao Hai’s control over both his spiritual qi and his body had greatly increased, so although the training was challenging for him, it wasn’t too difficult.

On the seventh day of Zhao Hai’s seclusion to adapt to his body and spiritual qi, Elder Wan Feng came to Zhao Hai’s courtyard. He glanced at Zhao Hai’s courtyard and a smile appeared on his lips. He was very satisfied with Zhao Hai’s performance. After returning from the ironstone mine, he did not wander around but stayed in his courtyard to cultivate in seclusion. This was exactly what Wan Feng was most satisfied with about Zhao Hai, because Zhao Hai could endure loneliness.
