Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 1013

Demon Abyss

The status of Demon Abyss is equal to the Buddhist spiritual mountain and the Heavenly Court of the Immortal Order; it is a gathering place for the Demon Immortals.

Today, a large number of Demon Immortals have gathered to discuss the invasion by the Buddhist Order. They have infiltrated each other, and they have already learned about the Buddhist Order’s major movements.

"Demon Lord, my scouts report that the forces of the Buddhist Order in the Tianhua Star Domain and the Tiancheng Star Domain have all gathered. The number of true Buddhas is still unknown, but there are no less than ten thousand arhats and bodhisattvas, with thousands of Space Battleships gathered as well. They are likely to invade our demon realm soon. Please make a decision, my lord."

A Demon Immortal reports to a Demon Lord, who is equivalent to the Immortal Lord of the Heavenly Court, powerful and of great status.

"I already know about this. The Buddhist Order is indeed using the forces of two Star Domains to attack our demon realm."

"My lord, what should we do? According to the reports from the scouts, these Space Battleships are extremely powerful. The Buddhist Order has suffered losses repeatedly, but now they have this powerful weapon. We are afraid it may be difficult to contend with them."

"Space Battleship, has our demon race’s Space Battleship not been developed yet?"

When the Demon Lord heard the words "Space Battleship," he immediately felt very displeased.

The demon race noticed the power of the Space Battleship on the battlefield a long time ago, and they began to infiltrate Mahayana Star early on. They took all the information they could find on the internet and replicated it.

They even spent a great deal of money to acquire an early, decommissioned Space Battleship, thinking they could solve the technical problems of the Space Battleship, but many years have passed, and there is still no news.

"Demon Lord, please forgive my incompetence; I still cannot understand some of the principles of the Space Battleship and cannot produce it."

"Useless, the Buddhist forces are about to attack, how can you expect the lower-ranking demons to defend themselves?"

"My Lord, I seek forgiveness."

One Demon Immortal bowed his head in silence; he was helpless. He had already ordered the decommissioned Space Battleship to be taken apart, but he couldn’t understand many of its components. Not to mention building a new Space Battleship, he couldn’t even put the old one back together.

"Demon Lord, I received news that the demon race is undergoing industrialization; there are already hundreds of factories on the Dragon Race planet, and they are likely connected to the Heavenly Court."

"It’s very normal; there are many Demon Immortals from the Heavenly Court, and some who manage their own planets have good relations with Blue Star. It is normal to be swayed by the demon race. We should send someone to talk to the demon race and see if they can produce Space Battleships to support us. If one side falls, the other side will be in danger too; we will be finished, and so will the demon race."

"Yes, my lord."

"Also, our people should not be idle. The Heavenly Court has been crazily infiltrating the demon race lately, as if they are looking for something. Our people need to speed up; it’s best if we find it before the Heavenly Court does to see what they are afraid of."

The Demon Lord added that the Heavenly Court’s actions were too bold; even the demon race knows that the Heavenly Court is looking for something among them and seems very worried. Of course, the demon race is also speeding up their own investigations; they all look quite confused.

"My lord, what about the Buddha’s offensive…"

"What is there to fear? When soldiers come, we will block them; when water comes, we will build soil barriers. I have my own plans."

The Demon Lord said calmly, Space Battleships can influence battles at the cultivator level, but they cannot kill the Demon Immortal or true Buddha level beings. Therefore, the overall situation is still undecided; who will die is not certain yet.

········

The 14,480th year of the Xia calendar of Blue Star, Tiancheng Star Domain, Zhenyuan Star.

Hui Ming led the Buddhist Space Battleship to Zhenyuan Star. This matter had nothing to do with him at first, but on the spiritual mountain, there was a true Buddha’s order, and Hui Ming had to come as commanded.

"Senior Brother Hui Ming."

"Senior Brother Hui Ming."

A large group of Buddhist Bodhisattvas came to welcome him, bowing to Hui Ming.

Although Hui Ming was not a true Buddha, he was well-known, and almost all Buddhist planets had heard of him. Many people had even gone to Qiyuan Star to learn and had interacted with Hui Ming.

"Amitabha, Hui Ming greets all senior brothers."

"Senior Brother Hui Ming, is this our Buddhist Space Battleship? How many do we have?"

"Sixty fleets, with one hundred ships of various types in each fleet. This includes one mother ship, thirty-six escort ships, and fifty-four attack ships…"

Hui Ming answered truthfully. The Buddhist Space Fleet was also inspired by Blue Star, but the fleet’s configuration was slightly different. The numbers for escorts, attacks, reconnaissance, and supplies varied, mainly depending on who they were fighting. If facing someone without Space Battleships, they would focus on increasing firepower; if against the Heavenly Court, they would need to add more support ships, like those used for electronic warfare.

After listening to Hui Ming’s story, the high-ranking members of the Buddhist community were very happy. They had suffered great losses against the Space Battleship in the past. In several wars, they had lost at crucial moments to the Space Battleship, so they understood its power well. Now, they had their own Space Battleship, while the enemy did not. Could they possibly lose this battle?

"Brothers, do not underestimate our enemy. Although the demon race does not have a Space Battleship, the Space Battleship cannot threaten the Demon Immortal. The actions of the Demon Immortal are mysterious, and we must not let it catch us off guard."

"Senior Brother Hui Ming, rest assured. For this battle, we are well prepared and will not give the Demon Immortal any chance."

A high monk from the Bodhisattva Realm said that the overall strength of the Buddhist community was slightly stronger than that of the demon race. Having made ample preparations, they would naturally not give the demon race this opportunity.

Seeing this, Hui Ming did not say anything more, and everyone began to discuss the battle against the demon race.

The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist community were deeply entangled, with both sides’ powers interlaced. Because many planets were very far apart, they were divided into six major Star Domains.

The magic domain and the Demon Domain were not divided in such detail. All the planets together were called the magic domain or Demon Domain. When it came to a specific planet, it depended on who the Star Lord was. For example, for the demon race, there were Dragon Clan planets or Dragon Clan worlds, Heavenly Tiger Tribe planets, and so on.

The Demon Domain has thirty-six life planets, while the magic domain has a few more, totaling forty life planets. They vary in size; some are about the same size as Blue Star, while others are many times larger than Mahayana Star, even hundreds of times the size of Blue Star.

As for the demon race, it is a general term. The demon race was the last of the four major forces to be established. Some beings are strange and cannot be accepted by the Buddhist community or the Heavenly Court, and even the demon race rejects them, so they simply formed their own tribe.

Later, more monsters, Buddhas, and humans joined, so it became a mix of many things. For example, the human race practiced some magical skills and were pushed out by the Heavenly Court, so they joined the demon race.

In a way, the demon race is more accepting and can include many kinds of beings.

"Brothers, I have a question. My Buddhist sect has put all its strength into attacking the demon race in the Tiancheng Star Domain and the Tianhua Star Domain. Will the Heavenly Court really not take advantage of this situation?"

Hui Ming expressed his concern. Once they set out, the two Star Domains would be empty. Would the Heavenly Court really follow the rules and not attack them?

"Senior Brother Hui Ming, don’t worry. This issue has been resolved at the level of true Buddhism."

A Bodhisattva said that this time, the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court reached an understanding. The Heavenly Court would not easily break this agreement, and of course, they were also prepared for any trouble. If there was a breach, they had ways to respond.

"That’s good. Also, I heard that the Heavenly Court has been active in the Demon Domain recently. It seems they plan to take action against the Demon Domain, but we haven’t seen any troops gather. What’s going on?"

"This matter is indeed quite strange. According to our information, the Heavenly Court seems to be looking for something."

"Looking for something?"

"Yes, I heard that a big person from the Heavenly Court suffered a loss in the Demon Domain. I don’t really understand the details; the news hasn’t come back yet."

A Bodhisattva replied that they didn’t know much either. They only knew that the Heavenly Court’s crazy actions were really loud, and they were also shocked, so they sent people to investigate, but found nothing.

"I see."

Hui Ming nodded; he didn’t say anything more. The Demon Domain was too far from them, so there wasn’t much to talk about.

The higher-ups of the Buddhist sect continued their discussion. This time, their first target was the Sword Demon Star among the demon race, whose Star Lord used to be a precious sword.

This sword was very powerful. It was made by a certain cultivator from the Heavenly Court with a huge amount of money. The sword was at the level of an excellent spiritual treasure and fought alongside its master, achieving great feats.

However, later on, for some unknown reason, the Item Spirit of this precious sword became possessed and crazily consumed other Item Spirits to grow stronger. Even its master was harmed, and the Heavenly Court ordered the sword to be destroyed, but it escaped, tearing through the sky and fleeing to the universe.

After returning once more, its Item Spirit actually survived the Heavenly Tribulation and became the terrifying Sword Demon Immortal. After that, it slaughtered other Demon Immortals and occupied planets, which is why this life star is also called Sword Demon Star.

Today, on Sword Demon Star, the life forms are very complex. A large number of treasures belong to its nobles, and all these treasures are at the level of spiritual treasures. Their Item Spirits can take form and increase their strength through special cultivation methods, but there are also many ordinary cultivators.

The reason the Buddhist sect is focused on Sword Demon Star is simple: they have their eyes on this batch of magical treasures. If they can tame these treasures and transform their resentment and anger with Buddhist teachings, they will become valuable items in their possession, greatly increasing their strength.

"The creatures of the world are truly beyond comprehension."

After hearing their story, Hui Ming felt it was very strange. Everyone at a high level has spiritual treasures, but he’s never seen treasures that can act independently, let alone those that can also achieve immortality.
