Cultivation: Being Immortal

Chapter 877

In the year 8755 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Lingjing Star.

Five years is just a brief moment for interstellar civilizations, hardly worth mentioning.

However, during these five years, Ming’an and the others witnessed Blue Star’s ability to quickly mobilize troops.

Half a month after Lin Jiang’s command, waves of immigrants began to appear, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. Along with the immigrants came many robots and warships, as well as various logistical supplies, including medicinal pills.

The bodies on Lingjing Star had been cleared away. The living endured their pain and began to rebuild. The empty cities seemed to come to life again as people moved in.

High in the sky, Ming’an, Ming Xin, and others looked at the cities that were rising with white smoke. They felt a deep sense of wonder. Ming’an said, "Blue Star civilization truly deserves to be the mother planet of Lingjing Star. I really want to see it."

"Senior brother, I am more curious about their cross-border teleportation array. If I can learn this array, we can truly carry out cross-border trade."

Ming Xin said that even on Canglan Star, cross-border trade does not go smoothly because the worlds are too far apart. They have not yet fixed the technology for the Stargate Secret Technique, and it relies heavily on skilled individuals to open the Stargate, which consumes a lot of resources.

If they could learn this technology, it would be very important for Canglan Star, especially since using the cross-border teleportation array regularly does not consume spirit stones. In recent years, they had to use their spirit stone reserves due to frequent usage, making this even more critical.

In a world like Canglan Star, the history of cultivation is very long, which has led to a significant overflow of spiritual energy. If they cannot find a replaceable energy source, there may come a day when they do not have enough energy to leave Canglan Star."The Blue Star civilization can teach us more than just the cross-border teleportation array, but there is no need to worry. We will learn it slowly in the future."

Ming’an smiled and said that the Blue Star civilization had already joined the Heavenly Court, so they could obtain these things in the future; it was just a matter of cost.

"Senior brother, do you think Blue Star can really counterattack Lingfa Star?"

"Yes, as far as I know, Blue Star has many forbidden weapons. They don’t dare to use these weapons lightly due to their moral standards, but Lingfa Star is the enemy, so those restrictions don’t apply. Hehe, the bald monks from the Buddhist sect truly do not know what kind of existence they have provoked."

Ming’an said that others might not know, but he did. The Blue Star does have many forbidden weapons, such as nuclear weapons, which they prohibit from being used in places like Lingjing Star. However, it is different when it comes to Lingfa Star; by then, Lingfa Star will understand what kind of existence they have offended.

"Brother, what I’m worried about is that if we win, Blue Star may not be willing to give us Lingfa Star."

"Do not worry about this. Blue Star will not compete with us; we just cannot quarrel among ourselves."

Ming’an said that they also had the influence of three planets, and he was more concerned that their internal disagreements could lead to fighting over Lingfa Star’s benefits, as Lingfa Star is very important.

Lingjing Star, Modern City

Lin Jiang gathered the higher-ups for a meeting, including Ming’an, Ming Xin, and two other leaders of the Heavenly Court’s planets, for a meeting about dividing interests before the battle.

"Dear friends, today’s topic is simply one thing: how to divide the benefits. According to your information, there are four life planets near Lingfa Star, located within 100 to 800 light-years, spanning dozens of star systems."

"According to the previous agreement, we will launch the first attack on Lingfa Star. After capturing Lingfa Star, besides the spoils, I won’t take any territory from Lingfa Star; so, who will it belong to? We need to settle this beforehand to avoid hurting our friendship later over Lingfa Star."

"Friend Lin, we have discussed this. If we really capture Lingfa Star, it will belong entirely to my Canglan Star, and as a condition, my Canglan Star will unconditionally help you all in competing for other Buddhist worlds."

"No problem, then I, Lingjing Star, want to be located 360 light-years away from Lingqing Star in the northwest of Lingjing Star. Fellow Taoist friends, is there any problem? This star is the closest to us, while being farther from your world, and the planet is not large…"

Lin Jiang casually opened the Star Chart and pointed to the marked Lingqing Star. This information was provided by Ming’an and his friends, who knew a lot about the world of Buddhism.

Lingqing Star is a small world of Buddhism, slightly smaller than Lingjing Star, and it is much smaller than Lingfa Star. It is also the smallest among the four known Buddhist worlds.

The other two parties had no issues and agreed. They all felt that Lin Jiang was quite perceptive; being the weakest, he asked for the least benefit.

Seeing that both parties agreed, Lin Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Next was the division of Lingkong Star and Lingshui Star. These two planets are much larger than Lingjing Star and will be split between Zilan Star and Beiyuan Star. Both Zilan Star and Beiyuan Star sent many troops this time.

However, there are still a few worlds under Heavenly Court. Although they did not send cultivators, they did send immortals to assist. So Ming’an also suggested that when the four divided planets are ready, they should prepare a gift for those immortals. The essence of cultivators is one part, and other specific resources are also needed. Although those immortals do not need them, they still have disciples and relatives, and Lin Jiang agreed to this.

After the division meeting was completed, Lin Jiang discussed the battle plans. In this battle, Blue Star will send out twenty-five fleets of Space Battleships, along with twenty Tao Achieving cultivators. Although the number of cultivators is the least, their combat power should not be underestimated, especially the Space Battleships. If commanded properly, their strength is equivalent to two or three hundred Tao Achieving cultivators.

Ming’an and his group will dispatch all the remaining experts they have. The number of Tao Achieving and crossing tribulation cultivators is estimated to be close to eight hundred. Originally there were nine hundred sixty, but they have lost over a hundred. The Void Achieving Stage originally had three thousand, and now just over two thousand remain.

Moreover, Ming’an and his group promised that once they defeat the main force of the Buddhist cultivators, they can draw at least a million cultivators from Canglan Star, all at least at the Nascent Soul stage, to meet the needs of the security battle.

Everything was ready, and Lin Jiang announced the formation of the expedition army. The first mission of the army was revenge, to avenge the billions of people on Lingjing Star, including at least several million Blue Star immigrants who died in this battle. The second mission was conquest. They had been attacked by the Buddhist sect four times, and it was unreasonable for Blue Star to only defend itself. Therefore, Blue Star had to conquer and completely subdue Lingfa Star.

After several months of preparation, the expedition army set off from Lingfa Star, consisting of twenty-five Space Fleets, over five hundred thousand cultivators, and more than one million robots, all entering into the Space Battleships.

"Taoist Friend Ming’an, the task of opening the Stargate is entrusted to you."

Lin Jiang said to Ming’an and the others, "Lingjing Star is over two hundred light-years away from Lingfa Star. If these twenty people had to open the Stargate, it would take a long time to reach there. However, if Ming’an and his team helped, it might only take a few teleports."
