Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 898

Blue Star, Endless Sea

The words "Little Ying" ignited hope in Cao Ying’s heart amidst despair. Her eyes began to clear, and her confidence started to return step by step.

The external influence was actually small, but just a little was enough. As long as she had confidence, Cao Ying’s own strength would be enough to overcome illusions.

"Fake, you are fake."

Cao Ying looked at Lin Jiang in her arms again and said she firmly believed it was fake.

Her confidence came from the thousands of years she spent with Lin Jiang and from her own nearly ten thousand years of hard training. The Cao Ying now is not the Cao Ying of the past. Over the years, although her skills have not improved further, her overall strength has grown.

Over so many years, they have faced countless events and difficulties. How could Cao Ying today be the same as before? How could Lin Jiang be the same as he was? So Cao Ying firmly believed that Lin Jiang would not fail, at least not to Xia Qingshan.

"Break it for me."

Cao Ying gathered her strength in one palm and directly struck Lin Jiang in front of her.

The barrier broke, and the tribulation ended because Lin Jiang was already her greatest Heart Demon. Once the Heart Demon was broken, the tribulation was over.

"Damn it!"

Xia Qingshan’s voice came through as Cao Ying seemed ready to perish from the heavenly tribulation. A group of pesky little ants showed up to disrupt things, and surprisingly, they helped Cao Ying survive.

Cao Ying slowly opened her eyes and saw flying machines on fire all around her. Those machines were there to help Cao Ying, which made Xia Qingshan very angry, and he finally shot them down.

When the sweet rain fell, Xia Qingshan rushed to grab it. Cao Ying, using her instinct, fought with Xia Qingshan for it. It was the first time Cao Ying struck Xia Qingshan, and they fought while trying to seize the sweet rain.

In her first attack, Cao Ying noticed Xia Qingshan was weak; now his strength was only seven or eight out of ten, and he couldn’t handle Cao Ying, who had just passed through the heavenly tribulation.

"Ancestor Cao, take over Blue Star and cut off Xia Qingshan’s chances."

Someone was talking to Cao Ying, and her expression changed. Then her spirit sank into the earth of Blue Star. Seeing this, Xia Qingshan immediately began to fight.

Blue Star is the foundation for Lin Jiang and all their people. The essence of Blue Star’s technology is here. As long as they protect Blue Star, they can reclaim what they have lost. If they lose Blue Star, they will be defeated because Xia Qingshan can easily find replacements for them with just a few hundred years.

The struggle between Xia Qingshan and Cao Ying was also causing extreme phenomena in Blue Star; not only were strange winds and clouds changing, but severe weather was also starting to show signs.

However, Blue Star is not Lingqing Star; Blue Star has a stronger technological power. For instance, in the case of tsunamis, the space station outside the atmosphere has the ability to drain its energy in advance.

Facing extreme weather, Blue Star has its own way to respond. The damage is not as serious as imagined, but there is definitely panic.

"It really is lively!"

Liang Long appeared; he came back from Lingqing Star.

"Liang Long, lend me a hand!"

"Cao Ying, you can safely take over Blue Star; I will handle Xia Qingshan."

Liang Long nodded. He never thought about taking Blue Star; it made no sense. After going through the tribulation, Liang Long felt differently.

Jiang Star

Li Qing also successfully passed the tribulation. The four cultivators were all arranged by Lin Jiang, and they are all exceptional talents, Li Qing included.

Everyone takes at least two thousand years to overcome the trial, with a deep foundation, and that is how they succeed.

Li Qing succeeded in her trial, while Xia Qingshan still aimed to seize Ganlin and take Jiang Star, but at that moment, Li Canghai intervened and stopped Xia Qingshan.

Xia Qingshan was too tired to curse anyone; Li Canghai’s action meant that everyone had already turned against each other.

Taking advantage of the battle between Xia Qingshan and Li Canghai, Lin Jiang activated the Spatiotemporal Mirror and arrived at Jiang Star, standing in front of Li Qing, saying, "Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

Li Qing replied, and indeed, she had to thank Lin Jiang because he had helped her a lot with the trial, preparing many defensive treasures and healing potions; without these, she wouldn’t have made it.

"Then please deal with Xia Qingshan first."

Lin Jiang said calmly, his eyes fixed on Li Qing.

Li Qing looked back at Lin Jiang; it was a very ordinary statement, but it carried a lot of meaning.

Let Li Qing deal with Xia Qingshan. Is this a request or a command? It is very important.

Li Qing understands it as a command. Yes, it’s a command. This is a test from Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang gave her a chance to become powerful. Now, Li Qing is stronger than Lin Jiang and has the right to say no.

But if Li Qing refuses, it means she will part ways with Lin Jiang.

Back then, she did not follow Lin Jiang’s orders, which caused their relationship to break apart. After that, many things happened. It wasn’t until the Buddhist cultivator attacked that Lin Jiang showed her kindness. Before that, Lin Jiang had many chances to harm her.

"Okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qing replied "okay" and then turned to confront Xia Qingshan.

Li Qing chose to follow Lin Jiang’s command. This does not mean that they can forget the past and return to their original relationship, but they can maintain their previous cooperation.

Li Qing successfully passed the test, but she did not feel light. She understood that she could not be the only one to succeed on Blue Star; at least Cao Ying’s abilities were greater than hers. Since she could not fully control Blue Star, why turn against Lin Jiang? Turning against him would bring her no benefits, and she might not even get Jiang Star.

Li Qing joined the battlefield. Even though she wasn’t very strong, she still made Xia Qingshan very uncomfortable. He was even feeling a bit hopeless. His strength was already greatly weakened, and now it had been divided into three. He really couldn’t hold on anymore.

"Lin Jiang, must you fight me to the death?"

"Xia Qingshan, it sounds like you have the power to kill me."

"Lin Jiang, don’t forget, without me, would you be where you are today, you ungrateful little man?"

"Yes, I am a little man. So what?"

Lin Jiang calmly said, "Do you want to guilt-trip me? But what if I have no morals? What if I just admit I am a little man?"

Xia Qingshan was almost spitting blood from anger.

"No, I can’t go on like this. I will surely die here. I cannot die here."

At this moment, Xia Qingshan realized he needed to think calmly. His strength was spread too thin, and in both places, he was outnumbered two to one. He had no chance at all.

Thinking of this, Xia Qingshan became decisive and, taking the risk of being struck by Li Canghai, slammed his hand down on the spot where the teleportation array was located.

"Boom!"

With that slam, the area around the teleportation array almost collapsed, and the array was naturally destroyed.

At the same time, on Lingjing Star, Xia Qingshan also destroyed the teleportation array there.

"Lin Jiang, you have forced my hand. I want you to regret this for the rest of your life. I won’t kill you; I want you to watch your woman, sister, relatives, and friends die one by one in front of you. I will take away your powers and leave you alive on Blue Star, making sure your name is cursed forever. I will—"

Xia Qingshan let out a vicious curse—no, not just a curse; he truly wanted to do this.

He wanted to reclaim the power of Lingjing Star and Jiang Star and unite it with the Main Soul of Blue Star, thus greatly increasing his strength, allowing him to defeat Liang Long and Cao Ying and take back Blue Star.

Once he reclaimed Blue Star, he would be invincible; at least, the hundreds of billions of people on Blue Star would provide him with endless support, and he wouldn’t have to fear Li Qing and the others returning to cause trouble. Then, he could take revenge on Lin Jiang and make him wish for death but unable to die.

At that time, death would be the most luxurious thing for Lin Jiang, and that would be the only way to resolve his deep-seated hatred.

"Taoist Friend Lin, Xia Qingshan has run away, the Main Soul is calling, we cannot stop it."

As Xia Qingshan quickly disappeared, Li Canghai said to Lin Jiang.

"Ancestor Lin…"

"Ancestor Lin…"

The other cultivators grew anxious; everyone had just realized where Xia Qingshan went. He returned to Blue Star, so we need to hurry back, or it will be too late.

"What are you worried about? I have my own plan."

Lin Jiang waved his hand lightly. Jiang Star is not far from Blue Star. With their strength, opening a Stargate and going back is not a difficult task, is it?

"Senior Li, the matter here is done; you can return to seize Lingqing Star now."

Lin Jiang said to Li Canghai. He was about to use some secret weapons, which Li Canghai shouldn’t know about, so he needed to send him back.
