Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8545 8545: Experiment _1

Zhu Yong noticed the group's silence and offered a smile before speaking, “Don’t get overly anxious. The primary purpose of mentioning this is our highly delicate position. Should your true identity come to light, there’ll be no advantages gained—in fact, it could result in immediate death. Therefore, utmost caution is essential.”

The group remained quiet, simply gazing at Zhu Yong in silence. He continued in a solemn tone, “Very well, after all that explanation, we haven’t yet reached the core issue: the young master’s true background. Why is the young master regarded as the sect leader? The answer is straightforward—the young master was originally the sect leader, while the Ghostwind Bandits served merely as his subordinates. In reality, he is a genuine sect leader. Some among you may recall his name, others might not, or perhaps it has faded from memory. The young master’s actual name isn’t Zou Xiao, but Zhao Hai. He holds the position of the top Pro-disciple in the Bloody Massacre Sect. Naturally, he is also the present sect leader!”

Zhu Yong delivered these revelations with a composed demeanor, as though discussing something utterly commonplace. Yet, his audience was left utterly dumbfounded by the disclosure. Naturally, the reputation of Zhao Hai and the Bloody Massacre Sect was well-known to them. Even though the event had occurred several years prior, its impact lingered profoundly. This marked the first instance in millennia where a sect faced annihilation through divine punishment within the Blood Sea Realm. Moreover, it was one of the realm’s ten major sects, renowned for its immense power.

This very event caused widespread astonishment across the Blood Sea Realm whenever divine punishment was invoked. Furthermore, the Corpse Demon Sect had nearly established unchallenged supremacy throughout the entire Blood Sea Realm, leveraging these years for rapid expansion. Presently, their power had eclipsed the remaining eight of the nine great sects, rendering their dominance unmatched.

It was common knowledge that the Bloody Massacre Sect’s divine retribution stemmed from the Corpse Demon Sect’s actions. The assault came directly from the Corpse Demon Sect’s ancestor in the upper realm, who obliterated the Bloody Massacre Sect entirely, erasing a formidable sect from the Blood Sea Realm. Such overwhelming might instilled deep fear. Consequently, the Corpse Demon Sect flourished at an astonishing pace, securing its position as the unrivaled leader in the Blood Sea Realm.

Nonetheless, discussions occasionally surfaced regarding the Bloody Massacre Sect’s potential resurgence. Mentions of Zhao Hai from that sect also arose from time to time. As the foremost Pro-disciple in the Blood Sea Realm, Zhao Hai’s fame was widespread. However, no one believed he had survived. The consensus was that Zhao Hai had been eradicated alongside the Bloody Massacre Sect by the upper realm’s powerhouses. Some even expressed regret over his fate. In their view, had Zhao Hai lived to continue his cultivation path, ascension to the higher realm seemed inevitable—a true tragedy.

Given this, they were intimately acquainted with the details surrounding the Bloody Massacre Sect and Zhao Hai. Thus, upon hearing Zhu Yong utter those names—Zhao Hai and the Bloody Massacre Sect—they stood frozen in disbelief. Never had they anticipated Zhu Yong would invoke these two figures, names presumed lost to history.

Zhu Yong surveyed the group and declared gravely, “In the past, while the young master was away from the sect on a mission, he chanced upon the Ghostwind Bandits’ inheritance. He then relied on them to sustain himself externally. During the Bloody Massacre Sect’s crisis, the young master was elsewhere, sparing him the disaster. By the time he returned to the sect, it had already been destroyed. The young master rallied the surviving ten thousand or so disciples from the Bloody Massacre Sect, establishing the new Ghostwind Bandits. Subsequently, he eradicated every sect in the Blood River Sea in a single decisive campaign. Bolstered by fresh recruits and resources, we’ve built our current foundation. As for all of you, you now serve as the young master’s in-name disciples.”

The shock gradually wore off, and the group stared at Zhu Yong in bewilderment, at a loss for words momentarily. The revelation had left them reeling. They had gained some insight into the spatial zone’s might. Although the total number of cultivators there was incalculable, they knew precisely how many experts surpassed the Island Lord level—over a thousand. It was beyond comprehension how Zhao Hai had achieved such feats. Merely four years had passed since the Bloody Massacre Sect’s fall. In that brief span, Zhao Hai had amassed this formidable force. While it might not rival the nine great sects in scale, it remained profoundly intimidating. For a sect long deemed extinct like the Bloody Massacre Sect, this resurgence was nothing short of astonishing.

Throughout the cultivation world, no sect dared to tangle with the Bloody Massacre Sect. They feared nothing in battle, ready to stake their lives against any foe. This ferocity deterred all challengers. In the past, even the seven major sects united against them yet suffered humiliating defeats. Without intervention from the upper realm’s titans, the Bloody Massacre Sect would have endured as one of the top ten sects, impossible to topple.

Put simply, with Zhao Hai and his followers now unveiling their prowess and reclaiming the Bloody Massacre Sect’s banner, few would dare confront them. Everyone recognized the Bloody Massacre Sect as a porcupine—touch it, and you’d suffer the spines. Now, these individuals had become Zhao Hai’s in-name disciples. How could they not be utterly astounded? This left them utterly speechless.

Zhu Yong regarded the group and stated solemnly, “I won’t delve deeply into the young master’s capabilities,” he added. “His power now vastly surpasses the Island Lord level. The weapons you’ve retained are part of his ongoing trial for you. Though you each follow distinct cultivation techniques, none align with those of the Bloody Massacre Sect. This experiment from the young master aims to have you harness your own methods to temper killing intent. Yet, your techniques aren’t ideal for this process. Hence, he intentionally preserved those weapons, which have undergone a special refinement and your primordial spirit’s nurturing. They’ll aid your cultivation. The young master’s plan is to dispatch you to a location suited for forging killing intent, infusing it into your weapons. This will enhance their potency greatly moving forward. Of course, risks are involved, as tempering killing intent has traditionally been exclusive to Bloody Massacre Sect disciples. We’re uncertain about adapting it to magic tools, so you might face some backlash. Rest assured, the young master has safeguards in place. Should issues arise, he’ll intervene personally to resolve them without harming your cultivation progress. Success, however, would revolutionize magic tools for everyone in the space, propelling all strengths to new heights. The choice is yours to make.”

Zhu Yong fell silent after that. The weight of his words settled heavily on the group. Cheng Wanchun then spoke up, “Mr. Zhu, may I inquire if we truly are the sect master’s in-name disciples? Is this experiment genuinely free of peril?”

Zhu Yong replied promptly, “Indeed, you are now the young master’s in-name disciples. This experiment poses no real threat. You’ve only recently joined, but your selected cultivation techniques fit you perfectly, accelerating your advancement. Soon, you’ll reach Island Lord level. Do you honestly believe the young master would allow promising Island Lord experts to perish from Qi deviation? Absolutely not—that’s why there’s no cause for concern whatsoever.”

Cheng Wanchun nodded firmly, then declared resolutely, “Very well, I’m ready to proceed. As the master’s disciple and a member of the Bloody Massacre Sect, it’s my duty to contribute to the sect. Please, sir, lead the way.” With determination etched on his features, Cheng Wanchun rose to his feet.

Yet, Cheng Wanchun understood he was wagering everything. Bearing Zhao Hai’s in-name disciple status was a lifelong commitment. The experiment was crucial for Zhao Hai. Refusing it would breed disappointment, dooming them to perpetual in-name status. But Cheng Wanchun aspired to true discipleship under Zhao Hai. Thus, he resolved to seize the chance. Better to attempt it than face resentment for abstaining. Triumph would elevate him among Zhao Hai’s favored, unlocking boundless prospects.

As a former rogue cultivator, Cheng Wanchun’s prior technique had ill-suited him. Since entering the space, his power surged, thanks to a fitting method. He even glimpsed the path to Island Lord breakthrough. In this context, Zhao Hai offered this pivotal opportunity. Hesitation would brand him a coward. Driven by this realization, Cheng Wanchun committed without a second thought.

Zhu Yong eyed Cheng Wanchun and chuckled warmly. “Excellent, your willingness is commendable. Well done. Does anyone else wish to join the experiment? Declining is perfectly acceptable—you can return to your original practices. You’ll remain the young master’s in-name disciples, and upon reaching the Profound Qi Realm, you can ascend to true disciples. The young master selected you with genuine intent to nurture, and this won’t alter that. I urge you not to agree unless fully consenting. Participation is voluntary; I won’t compel anyone.”

A collective sigh of relief rippled through the group at Zhu Yong’s reassurance. Still, several stood and addressed him, “Mr. Zhu, I’m eager to take part!”
