The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1057: Xiao Han's Comprehension Each person only has half a bowl of porridge; if they really want to eat it, it's just a matter of a few bites.

These god-emperors had endured months of wilderness survival and could eat almost anything, so no one complained about the wild vegetable porridge.

There were still eleven people in their group. Jing Shi originally wanted to disperse these people to do other farm work, but considering that they were all shackled and couldn't escape, he decided to let these newcomers dig ditches and do heavy work first, to squeeze their strength dry.

So, these eleven monks, driven by five or six overseers who carried broadswords and whips, went to dig ditches next to the farmland, carrying wooden shovels and wicker baskets.

The people, who originally thought it was not the right time to resist and escape, never expected that the life of slaves would be so miserable.

They would use simple tools to dig the soil, then carry the soil to the wasteland to cover the weeds, and incidentally turn the wasteland into farmland that could be cultivated.

There were also more than twenty dark-skinned, emaciated slaves with numb expressions working there.

Two overseers, each with a large sword at their waist and a long whip in their hand, walked around the area.

These overseers treated them worse than livestock; anyone who slowed down even slightly would be whipped.

Although the lash wasn't delivered with tremendous force, it still caused a burning, excruciating pain in the skin, leaving a red welt immediately.

The slaves here are like animals that can't speak; even if they're beaten, they can only get up and continue working.

The newly arrived monk slaves also joined the task of digging ditches and transforming wasteland.

One after another, people were whipped, and everyone's eyes were filled with anger. They no longer cared whether the time was right or not, and they were all urging Old Man Yu to set up the formation quickly.

As for the iron chains on his feet, we'll try to cut them with the stolen broadsword.

In short, these cultivators, oppressed in this way, have stopped thinking about any foolproof solutions.

Old Man Yu then secretly instructed everyone to pile up soil in the locations he pointed out.

However, if the mound of earth is piled up too high at once, the foreman will definitely think that the earth was not placed properly and will also be beaten.

We need to pile up a small amount of the array nodes first, and then figure out a way to make the final improvements.

While Lingxiao was going uphill, his foot slipped, the carrying pole tilted, and the soil in the basket spilled out.

Just as he was about to put the basket back down and refill it with soil, a foreman's whip lashed out and struck him hard.

The excruciating pain caused Ling Xiao to lose his mind. He lunged forward and began to fight with the overseer.

Seeing the slaves rebel, a nearby overseer immediately drew his sword and slashed at Lingxiao.

Xiao Han happened to be returning carrying baskets. She hurriedly dropped the baskets and tried to pull Ling Xiao away. However, she slipped and ended up falling on top of Ling Xiao.

Then, by sheer bad luck, the tip of the overseer's cleaver landed right on her neck.

Xiao Han felt a sharp pain in her neck and collapsed to the ground.

When Ling Xiao saw Xiao Han take the knife for him, blood gushing from his neck, he suddenly thought of Chen Xiushi, who had been bitten on the neck by a leopard and had also bled profusely and died quickly.

His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he went into a frenzy.

With a roar like that of a wild beast, he released his original opponent, leaped up, and pounced on the foreman who had slashed down Xiao Han.

After knocking the man down, he began to punch the overseer's head and body repeatedly, like a madman.

This unexpected turn of events not only stunned the overseer but also the other monks.

However, the shock was only momentary, and then the overseers all drew their broadswords and attacked Ling Xiao, who had gone mad.

Xin Ziqi and the other cultivators, disregarding the chains that held them back, all staggered towards the man, carrying carrying poles, wooden shovels, and other tools.

"What do you want? Go back! Go back! If you come any closer, we'll kill you all!"

The foreman, his face contorted with rage, looked panicked, brandishing his broadsword and shouting menacingly.

Ling Xiao was slashed several times, but he felt no pain at all. He continued to swing his fists and pound on the overseer beneath him.

Plans can't keep up with changes, and Xin Ziqi and his men didn't have time to think much. They staggered along, grabbed carrying poles and wooden shovels, and began fighting the other overseers recklessly.

The burly foreman blew his bamboo whistle, summoning the foremen from other parts of the estate to come and provide support.

Inside the main hall of the divine palace in the third heaven of the divine realm.

The Azure Sky God showed the scene inside the Mustard Seed Space to the Azure Cloud God, and said with regret, "Originally, this True God Realm cultivator named Xiao Han gave them a good suggestion, which helped them find the direction for their mission."

She shook her head again. "But man proposes, God disposes. These people haven't even truly grasped the deeper meaning of this mortal tribulation before they're being teleported out of the mustard seed space one by one."

Xiao Han's accidental death drove Ling Xiao mad, and the cultivators rushed forward to fight back with their lives. They were bound by iron chains on their feet and were destined not to escape.

There is no room for easing the current situation.

The Cangyun God stroked his beard and laughed, "It's alright. Those who want to continue doing missions can directly seal their memories and reincarnate their souls into the mortal world to live a lifetime. When they return, their memories will merge, and it will have the same effect."

Those who are meant to understand will understand naturally; those who cannot understand are simply not meant to.

At this moment, they were oppressed in the mortal realm, still carrying their memories, and each of them only believed themselves to be dignified god-emperors, completely incapable of rationally considering everything they had experienced.

The two deities were discussing the people of the divine realm within the mustard seed space when Xiao Han's divine soul became the first to appear in the main hall.

After a moment of confusion, she saw the Azure Deity sitting at the head of the table and suddenly realized that she had died in the Mustard Seed Space and returned to the God Realm.

No, she was always very careful and cautious, and she was even thinking of staying with the big shots for three years. Why was she still so unlucky as to be killed?

The thought flashed through her mind, and she respectfully bowed to the God of Azure Sky and the God of Azure Clouds.

"Junior Xiao Han greets the two seniors!"

Looking at the golden light of merit hidden on her body, the Cangyun God Venerable suddenly remembered a rogue cultivator who went to the mortal world to do a mission in place of a divine palace cultivator and completed the mission very well. Wasn't that Xiao Han?

Could this be the person standing right in front of me?

The Celestial Lord of the Azure Heaven smiled and said to Xiao Han, "Although you are a rogue cultivator with a low cultivation level, and this mission has nothing to do with you, you still went in. Tell me, what insights have you gained from your life as a mortal this time?"

Xiao Han had thought about this issue before in the Mustard Seed Space, and immediately tried to say: "From the perspective of a God Emperor, I think this mission should not be simply about making these God Emperor cultivators suffer and be humiliated, but about making them understand the responsibilities and duties that a great cultivator like a God Emperor should have, or even after becoming a God Venerable in the future."

The so-called "rediscovery of humanity" actually means making them understand that with great power comes great responsibility.

Xiao Han didn't truly understand the real purpose of the mission, but she felt that the principle of "with great power comes great responsibility" was a universal rule for great cultivators, and it should be correct.

The Cangyun God Venerable standing to the side immediately lit up his eyes, clapped his hands and laughed, "What a fine saying, with great power comes great responsibility."

This cultivator possesses such enlightenment and radiates a rich golden light of merit; he truly is a promising candidate to manage all the heavens and myriad realms.

However, I wonder if my status as a rogue cultivator will be an exception.

He suddenly turned to Xiao Han and asked, "Besides the path to immortality, is there anything else you wish to accomplish after becoming a great cultivator?"

Although Xiao Han did not know the Cangyun God, anyone who could be on equal footing with the Biluo God must also be a God.

Faced with the question posed by the most powerful cultivator in the God Realm, Xiao Han suddenly thought of Earth, which had been drained of its spiritual energy, and the small chaotic world where cultivators could never ascend.
