Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8304: Level up _1

Zhao Hai and Yan Bei stood at the edge of the Spiritual Array Sect’s territory, gazing back at the Array Elder. Due to the nature of his physical form, the Elder was tethered to his original body and could not cross the boundary of the formation. He had only been able to escort them to the perimeter. Bowing deeply, Zhao Hai said, "Formation Elder, rest assured. I will certainly return to visit you. As you have observed, I have accumulated quite a few enemies. Should they corner me in the future, I might seek sanctuary here. I hope you will not find it a bother."

The Array Elder let out a hearty laugh. "Good, I would welcome it. Hahaha! Alright, young man, though I wish you could stay, I will not force you. Do not forget that as Cultivators, the world beyond is vast and deserves your exploration. Just keep me in mind when you have the time. Furthermore, I am departing as well. This location is no longer secure now that too many people are aware of it. You should leave immediately."

The two men nodded and offered their final respects to the Elder. Zhao Hai then summoned the Blood Lotus, and they both leaped onto it. With a swift movement, the lotus vanished into the crimson mist. The Array Elder lingered at the formation's edge, watching the spot where they had disappeared. After a long silence, he sighed and retreated back into the depths of the array.

Shortly after his return, a thunderous boom echoed through the area. The entire main hall of the Spiritual Array Sect rose into the air. It did not ascend high enough to be spotted above the Sea of Blood; instead, it glided forward through the red haze and vanished within seconds. All that remained was a massive crater in the earth. Years later, when various Sects returned to investigate, they found the hall gone. This event became one of the Blood Territory's great unsolved mysteries.

Currently, Zhao Hai and Yan Bei were seated within the living room of the YinYang Manor. A jade cup rested before each of them. Zhao Hai held two pieces of spatial equipment: the interspatial bag gifted by the Array Elder and the interspatial ring recovered from the Bloody Massacre Sect Elder.

Zhao Hai reached for the spatial ring first, probing it with his mental power. A smile spread across his face as he remarked, "I didn't anticipate such a haul. This trip has been incredibly profitable. Big Brother Yan, have a look." He passed the ring to Yan Bei, who scanned it and was immediately struck with joy.

The ring was packed with treasures. While the abundance of crystals was impressive, the true prizes were several high-quality magical devices. There were also various elixirs that, while not useful to them at their current Cultivation level, would be invaluable later. Several jade slips containing cultivation techniques were tucked away, alongside rare materials for alchemy and equipment refining—items so precious they were unavailable on the open market. This was truly a massive harvest.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai turned his attention to the interspatial bag from the Array Elder. He was stunned by the contents. Inside were numerous mature, mutated medicinal herbs with enhanced properties. There were also countless smaller interspatial bags; upon checking one, Zhao Hai found it crammed with wealth. These were the accumulated riches of the Spiritual Array Sect, preserved perfectly because the core of the Sect had remained inaccessible since its destruction by the upper world. The Array Elder had essentially handed the Sect’s entire legacy to him.

Beyond the materials, there were endless magical weapons and ancient records. It was clear the Elder had given Zhao Hai nearly everything the Sect had gathered over eons. However, these riches weren't what truly moved Zhao Hai. With his Space and its infinite resources, he didn't strictly need more wealth. Aside from providing cover for his future plans to build an island, they were secondary. What truly captivated him was a specific stone inside the bag.

It appeared to be a common, pitch-black rock. Yet, the moment Zhao Hai sensed it, he was drawn in. He felt a potent life force radiating from it, strangely intertwined with a heavy aura of death Qi. Zhao Hai realized instantly what it was: the stone left behind in the crater when the upper realm experts attacked the Sect. It contained a fragment of upper realm power—the very thing he sought most.

He had known the Array Elder was perceptive, but this proved the Elder had seen through his desires long ago without saying a word. Receiving this gift touched Zhao Hai deeply. Without delay, he moved the stone into his Space. Immediately, a system notification rang out: "High-level energy detected. Extracting energy. Extraction successful. Space upgraded!" The entire dimension shuddered violently before settling. Zhao Hai quickly sent his consciousness inside to investigate.

The changes were profound. The internal energy was far more potent, and the Qi density had reached staggering levels. More surprisingly, everything in the Space now carried a faint trace of Dao intent. Whether looking at the trees or the water, the essence of the Dao was present. Zhao Hai knew this upgrade was a turning point that would require much study.

He then checked the most vital items. The Hundred Spirit Tree had surged in height, its canopy reaching toward the heavens and its leaves expanding. It felt ethereal now, as if it were partially phased out of the dimension. Zhao Hai sensed that the talisman had fully merged with both the tree and the Space itself, creating an absolute defense. He no longer feared for the Space's safety.

Previously, he worried that masters in the upper realm might detect or infiltrate his Space. Now, even those beyond the Island Lord level would find it impossible to breach. The Space's defenses had evolved beyond their reach.

The Hundred Spirit Tree's evolution also affected its fruits. Once harvested, these fruits would become independent spatial seeds that could be planted to create habitable zones, larger than ever before. They could also function as powerful celestial devices. Zhao Hai had been hoarding these fruits in his warehouse, reluctant to use them. Now that they had reached an even higher grade, he was even more hesitant to waste such precious items.

Furthermore, the boundless regions of the Space had expanded, the Qi had deepened, and the laws governing the dimension had reached a higher tier. The Hell dimension, the Undead, and the Xenomorphs had all undergone a transformation. Every plant and demonic beast within the Space had leveled up alongside the environment.

While many changes were yet to be discovered, Zhao Hai noted that his biological brain and physical body had been refined. Even the Blood Lotus had vibrated with a subtle upgrade. It was now more durable than any high-grade magic tool. Its internal dimensions had expanded to a third of the size of Blood Drop Island—comparable to a personal island of an Island Lord. This internal space was now rich with both life force and death Qi, allowing the plants within it to flourish.

Realizing now was not the time for deep meditation, Zhao Hai withdrew his consciousness and looked at Yan Bei. His companion was still engrossed in the items from the Elder's ring. Since the deceased Elder belonged to the Blood Massacre Sect, his tools and techniques were compatible with theirs. For a True Disciple like Yan Bei, who was relatively poor compared to his peers, these treasures were a life-changing windfall.
