Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8410: Directions (1)

Zhao Hai's words to the bloodsucker team this round hit them with profound shock. Before, they had merely trusted Zhao Hai. They believed that joining him in fights gave them a real shot at success. They hadn't delved deeper into the matter. Yet, after hearing what he shared today, it dawned on them abruptly—they'd behaved like complete fools earlier. Their focus had been solely on endless slaughter, without pondering other aspects. As a result, they missed out on numerous valuable chances.

Leaving aside other points, the guidance from Zhao Hai on maintaining composure during combat and reining in their killing intent stood as something they'd never even considered attempting. Had they truly followed that approach, might they have grown incredibly powerful? For individuals who had hit the summit of the refinement method, could they now rank as Island Lord-level powerhouses? Such reflections stirred intense regret within them all. Simultaneously, it reinforced their belief that sticking with Zhao Hai was the correct path.

In the cultivation world, a common saying went, "Passing on a fake universal Dao Scripture, passing on a true sentence." What did this imply? It wasn't suggesting that every piece of knowledge from the sect was false. Clearly, if just one line held truth while the rest didn't, that would make no sense. A sect's legacy couldn't revolve around a solitary phrase; it'd be far too basic. The true essence lay in those pivotal instants when you craved direction the most—the guiding words offered then could shape your entire future.

Each cultivator's journey in cultivation varied uniquely. The insights handed down by ancestors represented the pinnacle of their experiences. Still, if you rigidly stuck to those ancestral routes, you'd merely tread in their footsteps forever. Such a route might not fit you perfectly. When it proved mismatched, you'd hit a dead end with no further progress.

Thus, the knowledge and skills from ancestors resembled a colossal figure. You needed to draw lessons from this giant, yet also climb upon its shoulders. Absorb the giant's key strengths, then forge ahead on your personal trail. Progressing along a route tailored just for you alone could elevate you to true mastery.

Yet, in the cultivation realm, beginners always embarked on the trails blazed by their forebears. This stemmed from not knowing your own trail's location, its nature, or even its heading at the start. Here, ancestral wisdom served as your beacon and mentor. But as you advanced, you might discover the forebears' trail didn't align well with you, or barriers arose along the way. Then came a fork: one option was to persist on the forebears' trail, clearing hurdles as they appeared. You'd still follow their steps, facing endless barriers ahead. Ultimately, surpassing them would prove impossible since you'd never left their shadow.

The alternative involved halting at any blockage, then charting and advancing on your solitary course. This trail could prove far tougher to navigate, but it belonged to you. The distance you'd cover, the heights you'd reach—those wouldn't hinge on the forebears. You'd determine them yourself.

Today, Zhao Hai's speech struck like a thunderbolt, illuminating a fresh direction for these individuals. Members of the bloodsucker team had long adhered to the routes set by the bloody massacre sect's ancestors. But Zhao Hai's insights sparked the idea that an alternate route might exist. The bloody massacre sect's forebears had indeed carved a distinct path.

Within the bloody massacre sect's cultivation methods, a technique existed for harnessing killing intent to advance. Typically, this involved gathering killing intent and weaving it into one's practices, boosting their destructive force. This remained the sect's longstanding practice. However, few like Zhao Hai and his group had formed a killing intent boundary. In truth, blood massacre sect members struggled to directly manage killing intent. Only Island Lord-level figures could attempt it. Their efforts at control often fell short. Usually, they simply fused killing intent into their strikes.

Yet Zhao Hai revealed a novel approach to them. Beyond merging killing intent into their methods, they could master it and form a killing intent boundary. The boundary they'd generated earlier arose purely from their killing intent—a spontaneous creation beyond their command. But mastering the killing intent boundary would transform everything. Imagine battling foes while enveloped in a murderous aura barrier. Any enemy stepping inside would see their power plummet, and you could draw their blood Qi to fuel yourself. What an advantage that would be.

Beyond this, Zhao Hai's advice stirred strong desire in them. The bloodsucker team members had fought side by side for ages. They understood their comrades' capabilities intimately. They recognized that many possessed remarkable talent. Through sustained combat and targeted drills, their cultivation pace had surged notably. Each held solid potential to ascend to Island Lord-level status.

Though none had yet claimed Island Lord rank, their might remained formidable. They also grasped that attaining Island Lord status without allies brought risks. Currently, nearly all Island Lord experts in the sect stemmed from disciples under the eight great elders and the sect master. True, some Island Lords from the other two elders' lineages had perished, while others switched allegiances. In essence, even reaching Island Lord level offered no guarantees of security. You'd still need to align with a faction. Only then could you practice cultivation undisturbed and pursue your goals freely.

These individuals had faced neglect across the islands before. Value came only after attaining Island Lord status. Yet even then, joining a faction didn't ensure high regard. The bloody massacre sect boasted plenty of Island Lord-level figures.

Suddenly, a prime opportunity dangled before them: Zhao Hai. Though merely a true disciple with strength at the profound Qi realm, his prowess impressed. Plus, a mighty supporter stood behind him—Elder Ha Jing. Elder Ha Jing shared a close bond with Great Elder Du Wan Sha, and both enjoyed the sect master's utmost confidence. Moreover, the sect master esteemed Zhao Hai highly, as did Du Wan Sha and Ha Jing. Clearly, Zhao Hai's prospects stretched boundlessly. Persisting under him in his squad meant seamlessly entering Ha Jing's faction, yielding clear gains for them.

With these thoughts swirling, their joy deepened. They'd now uncovered the trail they yearned to pursue, akin to enlisting in one of the bloody massacre sect's top factions—what reason remained for discontent? Thus, their gratitude toward Zhao Hai swelled further. Once Zhao Hai released them and urged rest, they swiftly acknowledged and retreated to their quarters for cultivation.

They understood full well that strength mattered above all, regardless of the faction. Only through power could you claim greater rewards. Without it, even affiliating with the realm's premier group brought no perks if you lacked might. The cultivation world tolerated no slackers.

Zhao Hai's guidance sparked abundant insights for them. They sensed a need to review past skirmishes and extract useful lessons. This notion thrilled them, prompting a hasty return to their rooms for contemplation.

Three days passed before Zhao Hai got word from Du Wan Sha, summoning him and the bloodsucker team to Bloodmountain Island. They aimed to strike the 13 Family Alliance jointly. The moment this news arrived, Zhao Hai sensed the bloody massacre sect's triumph in this round. Their assault on the 13 Family Alliance would draw no scrutiny.

Zhao Hai roused the entire bloodsucker team and guided them straight into the bronze man's form. He then steered the bronze man toward Bloodmountain Island. Yan Bei no longer accompanied them. His wartime feats had shone brightly, backed by a supportive mentor. Gu Na held Yan Bei in high esteem, so he'd entered secluded training per her orders. It appeared he couldn't join the push against the 13 Family Alliance. Thus, he stayed away from Zhao Hai's side.

Upon reaching Bloodmountain Island, Zhao Hai noted the assembly of numerous bloody massacre sect disciples. These weren't from the Western Defense line; they'd shifted from elsewhere. Excitement lit every face, signaling their eagerness for the imminent clash.

Their fervor drew only a smile from Zhao Hai. Provided the blood slaughter sect's scheme prevailed, and other major sects stayed out, while the Giant Demon Sect hit the 13 Alliance concurrently, this conflict's course stayed set. The 13 Alliance's grand artifact, the Sen Luo Temple, lay ruined—now a prize displayed on Blood Mountain Island for all to see. Facing such odds, how could the 13 Alliance challenge the blood slaughter sect? Their downfall loomed inevitable.

Evidently, the sect intended no further mercy for the 13 Family Alliance this time. They'd crush it outright. The 13 Family Alliance had sealed its fate. They'd provoked not just the blood slaughter sect, but other major powers too—unlike before. Previously, when the blood slaughter sect targeted the 13 Family Alliance, those powers leaned on them to halt. That pressure had spared the 13 Family Alliance till now. But this time... those powers ignored the 13 Family Alliance entirely. Eradicating it would prove effortless for the blood slaughter sect. How might the 13 Family Alliance withstand the onslaught?

Emerging from the teleportation array, Zhao Hai promptly received Du Wan Sha's directive to head straight to the main hall. He wasted no time, soaring directly there. His swift move left the onlookers around him in stunned silence.
