Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 1007

In the year 11,400 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Blue Star

A beam of golden light shone down on Blue Star, revealing two Golden Armor Immortals, and Cao Ying appeared immediately.

"I, Cao Ying of Blue Star, greet the two Immortal Officials."

"Cao Ying of Blue Star, I bear a command from the Heavenly Emperor, ordering you to go to the Demon Domain to investigate the truth about the demon race. This is the Star Chart of the Demon Domain."

One of the Golden Armor Immortals said to Cao Ying, then handed her a Star Chart of the Demon Domain, which contained information about various life planets in the Demon Domain.

"Yes, Cao Ying accepts the order."

Cao Ying’s expression darkened, but she did not refuse; instead, she respectfully accepted the order.

"Master Cao Ying, the Demon Domain is also a great enemy of our Heavenly Court. I hope Master Cao Ying will not be careless or underestimate them. Be careful and find out the truth about the Demon Domain as soon as possible, then report back to the Heavenly Court."

"Yes, Cao Ying will live up to the Heavenly Emperor’s expectations."

"Then we will wait here at the Heavenly Court for Master Cao Ying’s good news."

The two Golden Armor Immortals exchanged a glance and quickly vanished, not staying at Blue Star but directly returning to the Heavenly Court.

A moment later, Cao Ying’s Soul Fragment on Mahayana Star immediately found Lin Jiang and talked about this matter.

"Such a low-level tactic."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang sneered.

"It is quite low-level, and the enemy has already revealed themselves. Their tactic is clear. What do you plan to do?"

Cao Ying said, analyzing various matters. In fact, who the enemy is was obvious: it is Immortal Lord Chang Rong and Immortal Chang Le.

Their methods and goals can be guessed fairly well; they aim to take control of Blue Star’s wealth or, in other words, to seize the achievements of technological civilization.

"Immortal Lord Chang Rong wants to kill you and then set us up. As long as we fall into danger, they will extend an olive branch, and we will have to obey Immortal Lord Chang Rong."

"Chang Le is a key point. Immortal Lord Chang Rong cannot appear too greedy, so he will definitely have Chang Le marry me, and then he will openly place his people by our side, gradually controlling all of Blue Star."

"Yes, but you haven’t said what to do."

"Why the rush? Why the panic? When soldiers come, we meet them; when water rises, we build barriers. This move is simple, but very effective. Most people can’t resist it. Unfortunately for them, they are facing me."

Lin Jiang sneered coldly. Since the beginning of spiritual energy recovery, countless stories have happened over thousands of years in Blue Star. He has seen this kind of trick many times before.

Conspiracies cannot break through such tactics. Though the move is simple, it is very effective; for example, Cao Ying cannot refuse the Heavenly Emperor’s orders and must carry out the mission.

However, Immortal Lord Chang Rong clearly does not realize that they are plotting against more than just a small force of only twenty-some immortals. The true power hidden beneath the iceberg is unseen.

"Then I will wait for your clever plan; otherwise, I might be done for."

"No one wants you to die, even if they die. The best way to deal with such a low-level scheme is to crush it with strength. If you can’t die, what can they do?"

"That’s true, Chang Rong really underestimates me."

Cao Ying nodded. Although she had only become an immortal for a few thousand years, her strength was already strong. She had swallowed at least thousands of dao auras; she couldn’t even count how many. During several battles, she secretly consumed them, simply stuffing them into her mouth.

"The rule weapons on Liang Long’s side have already been developed to the third generation. They probably haven’t made many of the third generation yet; take all of them with you. But for the second generation rule weapons, I’ll give you a hundred."

"So many? You secretly made so many?"

Cao Ying’s eyes widened. She didn’t know much about the very top technology, but she understood that top weapons require a huge amount of energy to create. Even somewhat outdated nuclear weapons need a large amount of energy to make. How could Lin Jiang produce so many?

"Resource planet."

Lin Jiang only said three words. The production of rule weapons is a deep secret. In fact, many workers, engineers, and even scientists who personally participate in the production don’t know what they are making.

The places that manufacture rule weapons are not on life planets like Blue Star and Mahayana Star, but on some resource planets. The Blue Star camp has built survival bases on hundreds of planets where ordinary people cannot live, mainly to excavate minerals and other resources, and to be responsible for manufacturing secret weapons.

The creation of rule weapons requires a frightening amount of energy. Therefore, making them in a place like Mahayana Star would cause a lot of noise. So, Lin Jiang decided to handle this matter on a resource planet to keep it hidden. In fact, this move is very clever; no one has discovered it yet. No one is curious about what happens on those resource planets, as long as resources keep flowing back.

"With this rule weapon in hand, I can defeat as many immortals as come my way."

Cao Ying also felt a chilling fear. If Immortal Lord Chang Rong wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t hold back.

"We need to be careful. Using this weapon means we must ensure that not a single soul escapes—complete destruction. Otherwise, it will cause endless trouble, and neither Liang Long nor I can protect ourselves. The third-generation rule weapon can handle the Heavenly Emperor."

Lin Jiang said he didn’t fully understand how powerful the Heavenly Emperor was, as he had no clear concept or standards to refer to with the rule weapon.

"Hehe, you underestimated me! Hiding this is not difficult at all."

Cao Ying smiled; when the time comes, she would split off a few Soul Fragments to change her appearance. If trouble arose, she would just say it was the work of interstellar wanderers. As for the rule weapon, only a few core members of Blue Star knew about it. It would just be a story.

·······

Cao Ying left, pulling back all her Soul Fragments, as the Demon Domain was very dangerous, and she could not spread her power. Except for a little Main Soul entering Blue Star, she withdrew everything else.

Once Cao Ying left, there was no one to negotiate with Chang Le. Negotiations need equal statuses; a small soldier cannot deal with a great general, so Lin Jiang had to take action himself.

This time, Chang Le did not play tricks, and the negotiations for each item went surprisingly smoothly, and contracts were signed one by one.

"Taoist Friend Lin, Sister Cao Ying is on a mission; I am not using underhanded tactics. Do you believe me?"

"What nonsense is Immortal Chang Le talking? This is the order of the Heavenly Emperor; what does it have to do with you? Besides, as a part of the Heavenly Court, it is our duty to work for the Heavenly Court, isn’t it?"

"Taoist Friend Lin…"

"Immortal Chang Le, it’s nothing much. I will take my leave now. The contracts are signed, and once you send the deposit, I will arrange for people to head to Tianxing Star Domain and bring you the most advanced industrial foundation."

Lin Jiang said calmly, and after speaking, he left without any further delay.

"Hmph."

Chang Le stomped her foot in anger, almost losing her temper. During this time, she had genuinely learned some tricks to chase after a man, ready to use them on Lin Jiang.

Unfortunately, Lin Jiang did not give her a chance. He wouldn’t even talk to her a little bit, so she had no opportunity to show her skills, wasting her talent for nothing.

"I will make you pay back a hundred times in the future, and then you will wish you could live, but can’t, and wish you could die, but won’t."

A look of bitterness crossed Chang Le’s eyes. She was really angry and truly resented him. Every time she saw Lin Jiang, his attitude of being unmoved and unbothered made her furious, along with his indifferent gaze towards her. When had Chang Le ever faced such treatment? Every immortal she met went out of their way to please her. Just because of this, Lin Jiang was like a dead man in Chang Le’s eyes.
