A heart’s demon oath was the most feared pledge of a Cultivator . The biggest enemy of a Cultivator was their own heart’s demon . Once a Cultivator was invaded by their heart’s demon, even if they survive, they would fall into the devil’s control . Therefore, no Cultivator would easily make an oath, let along a heart’s demon oath .
Now that Li Lin made his heart’s demon oath, he became Zhao Hai’s servant . Nobody present expected a Nascent Soul Expert to resign themselves to become a servant . His later cultivation would now be very difficult .
What do people cultivate for? They want to be immortal . However, life and death were natural laws . Cultivators wanting to break this rule was akin to going against heaven’s will . If one wanted to break through this restriction, then they would need to have vigorous fighting spirit . If this vigor was dulled, then their future progress will be hard .
Making yourself a servant was essentially extinguishing this vigor . When this happens, you would lose motivation in cultivating further .
However, when people thought about it, they could understand Li Lin’s decision . Zhao Hai already killed one of them . Now, it would be easier for Zhao Hai to deal with the group . If Li Lin didn’t swear to be Zhao Hai’s servant, then he would be killed . Compared to being dead, being a servant was better . Not everyone was unafraid of death . In the face of death, a lot of people would rather choose to live .
Li Lin chose to live . Although this painted him as a coward and ruined his future, he was still alive in the end . There was always hope as long as one lived .
Li Lin’s oath was like a spell, making the others in his group see another solution to their predicament; becoming a slave .

This was a difficult choice, especially to a Cultivator . While the three remaining Cultivators were hesitating, the Silverback Gold-winged Bug shattered a Cultivator’s shield and killed them on the spot .
The Cultivator’s body disappeared immediately . This became the straw that broke the camel’s back . The remaining two Cultivators quickly said that they were willing to become Zhao Hai’s servants . Then the two swore to their heart’s demons .
After the two Cultivators swore to their heart’s demon, Zhao Hai waved his hand to let them stand on the side . Then he received the Silverback Gold-winged bug as well as let Jia Ding Shan leave . After that, he glanced at those who came to watch the fight .
Those who came to watch didn’t expect this result . Now that the three Nascent Soul Experts had become Zhao Hai’s servants, Zhao Hai’s strength increased rather than decreased . If they attack Zhao Hai now, then that would be equal to attacking a team of Nascent Soul Experts . This was something that they weren’t willing to do .
Zhao Hai swept the surroundings with his gaze . These people were somewhat tense, afraid that Zhao Hai might attack them . Although they were hidden, they knew that Zhao Hai had already discovered them . Now, they want to see how Zhao Hai wanted to deal with them .
Zhao Hai looked at the surroundings, then he said, “Everyone, I’m leaving . There’s no need to send me out . ” Then he turned his head to Bai Yuan and then said, “Captain Bai, let’s continue our conversation in our fort . ”
Bai Yuan laughed and said, “Alright . Hahaha . Zhao Hai, I think you’re the first one from the Machine Field to have Cultivator servants . Good, good!” After he said that, he followed Zhao Hai towards Yuan’s fort . Meanwhile, the others in Bai Yuan’s group couldn’t help but straighten their backs . They felt proud as they looked at the people from the other realms .

Zhao Hai turned to look at Li Lin and the others before saying, “Follow me . ” Li Lin and the others had ugly expressions . However, they didn’t say anything and just followed behind Zhao Hai . They made a heart’s demon oath, so they had no choice but to follow Zhao Hai .
Back on earth, people make pledges as casually as drinking water or eating a meal, as if pledges were less valuable as toilet paper . But in the World of Cultivation, people needed to stand by their oaths .
This wasn’t because the moral integrity of those from the World of Cultivation was high . In fact, immoral people were everywhere in this place . If you believed another person easily, then there would come a time where you wouldn’t know how you died . The reason why people in the World of Cultivation took pledges very seriously was because of the existence of the heart’s demon .
Nobody knew how heart’s demon came to be, noone has yet to feel it as well . However, everyone knew that everyone had their own heart’s demon and that it could cause damage to their body . Making a heart’s demon oath was equal to awakening your heart’s demon . You would then be monitored by this demon all the time . And once you violate your oath, this heart’s demon would immediately invade; making you suffer a fate worse than death .
After Zhao Hai left, those who came to watch left as well . They understood what Zhao Hai wanted to tell them . Zhao Hai wanted them to leave, or else they would become the next Li Lin .
These people knew themselves well . Upon discovering that they couldn’t compare to Zhao Hai’s strength, they immediately left the Machine Field’s partially controlled territory .
However, this didn’t mean that their journey had been in vain . At the very least, they became aware of Zhao Hai’s strength . Without a doubt, the next time someone wanted to deal with Zhao Hai, they would definitely send a Transcending Tribulation Expert .
Moreover, now that Li Lin and the others had joined Zhao Hai’s side, Zhao Hai was able to increase his power . Even if he went to the Machine Field right now and established a small sect, nobody would say anything . After all, he had established himself to have strength to deal with a Nascent Soul Expert . This level of strength was enough to establish a sect in the Cultivation Realm . Even small sects in the Cultivation Realm don’t have the same strength as Zhao Hai right now .
As these people left, all of them had the same idea in their minds . Zhao Hai was becoming harder and harder to deal with .
Zhao Hai and Bai Yuan’s return caused a sensation in Yuan’s fort . At the same time, Zhao Hai didn’t let Li Lin and the others be treated as zoo animals to be looked at, so he sent them to his cave residence . His cave residence was large enough to allow them to stay in .
After Li Lin and the others were sent to the cave residence, Zhao Hai went to Yuan’s fort . The fort’s atmosphere lifted up once more . This was because, for the first time, someone from the Machine Field was able to get a Cultivator as a servant . Not only the Lock Mountain Range, the entire Machine Field exploded upon hearing this information .
Yuan personally reported this matter because of how important it was . Yuan never expected Cultivators to pledge themselves into becoming Zhao Hai’s servants . When he heard the news, he thought that someone was joking with him . Who would have thought that this was actually true!
Yuan didn’t know how this would impact the Cultivation Realm and the Machine Field . However, Yuan knew that the Six Realms Battlefield would be shaken by this news . At the same time, the Machine Field’s partially controlled territory would now be more secure .
With the strength that Zhao Hai displayed, nobody would dare provoke someone from the Machine Field . This was good for the realm .
A lot of people were present at the fort when Zhao Hai returned . These people are from the nearby forts . They were here to inquire more about what happened . To be honest, when they heard about the news, they couldn’t believe that it was real .
Zhao Hai was immediately surrounded when he arrived . All of them were inquiring about what happened with Li Lin and the others . Zhao Hai answered them all with a smile . He knew all of these people, so he was quite casual with them .
After mingling with everyone for several hours, those who came to Yuan’s fort started to leave . Zhao Hai relaxed as he was invited overy by Yuan for a drink .
While Zhao Hai was drinking with Yuan, the entire World of Cultivation was shaken by what happened . Naturally this only involved those in the higher echelon . After all, most people don’t even know about the Six Realms Battlefield .
However, although it was only the higher echelons, their reactions represented their respective realms . Right now, Zhao Hai’s name has been firmly cemented on everyone’s minds .
One of the first to respond were the Machine Field’s higher-ups . At this point, the higher-ups no longer had any ideas towards Zhao Hai . This was because they discovered that Zhao Hai had already established his own influence . Moreover, this influence wasn’t small . It would be very hard for them to keep wanting to deal with Zhao Hai . Because of this, they decided to change their approach towards him . They decided to get on good terms with him .
Once this decision was made, the higher-ups immediately sent a delegation to see Zhao Hai . The Machine Field also knew that Zhao Hai doesn’t really need any rewards . Therefore, this delegation would first give their regards to Zhao Hai and then ask if he needed anything . As long as Zhao Hai’s request wasn’t excessive, they would take care of it as soon as possible .
On the other hand, the response of the Cultivation Realm was somewhat strange . Upon hearing this information, the sects in the Cultivation Realm didn’t have much of a reaction . However, there were rumors that the big sects had placed Zhao Hai at the top position on their kill order .
This so-called kill order was talked about in the Cultivation Realm only in hearsay . It was believed that the Cultivation Realm’s Great Sects have a kill order wherein people’s names were listed . This list included geniuses from other realms . As long as a person was on this list, the Cultivation Realm wouldn’t hesitate to send people to kill them . This was to prevent these geniuses from developing and becoming a threat to the Cultivation Realm .
However, there was no proof of this kill order’s existence . Nor did the Cultivation Realm confirm if it did . But one thing was for certain – the Cultivation Realm had its attention towards Zhao Hai . The next time they decide to deal with him, they certainly wouldn’t send a Nascent Soul Expert .
