Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 900

Blue Star, Huaxia

In the villa of Haigang City, the giants gathered; people like Cao Wang and Zhu Bin could only listen and did not have the right to sit at the main table.

However, Cao Wang’s subordinate Liang Long sat at the main table this time. Liang Long was already one of the giants of Blue Star, but he has always been low-key.

Cao Ying and Lin Jiang sat at the main seats, and this was unchangeable; Li Qing and the others had nothing to say.

"The Demon Queen has come."

Someone said this, and Lin Jiang looked up to see the Demon Queen standing at the door.

The Demon Queen’s eyes were very complicated; she also succeeded in her trial, and she was the only one not attacked by Xia Qingshan. However, the environment during the trial still troubled her.

"Now that everyone is here, let’s sit down."

Lin Jiang waved to the Demon Queen, and she took her seat.

Lin Jiang briefly explained the general process of what happened. Most of this plan was made by Liang Long, as Xia Qingshan’s watch over Lin Jiang was quite strict. He did not have the means to do much, so Liang Long took the lead.

Everyone’s eyes turned to Liang Long, who displayed a friendly smile and made eye contact with the group.

"In this operation, both the Demon Queen and Li Qing played a great role, and I promised them that after the success, I would give them a planet as a reward. Now that Lingqing Star is occupied by the Buddhist sect, the only planets I can offer are Jiang Star and Lingjing Star. What do you think, Demon Queen and Li Qing?"

Lin Jiang said that he had received news that Lingqing Star had been taken over by the Buddhist sect. Li Canghai and the others had lost, but it was part of the plan. The valuable people on Lingqing Star had already been evacuated and were probably on their way back to Lingjing Star.

The reason it was said to be part of the plan is that Lin Jiang had set a trap for the Buddhist sect on Lingqing Star. Lingqing Star now has billions of people and has been fully transformed by Blue Star. Various ideas have already been planted, and the productivity level is very high. If Lingqing Star wants to win over the hearts of these people, it will need to put in a lot of effort.

Especially, they must solve the balance between faith and material needs. It is very difficult to deal with billions of people who have enjoyed ample material resources, received education, and awakened their minds. Many people like Fa Kong, a Buddhist cultivator, might emerge.

"Lin Jiang, you want to talk about how to handle the relationships between these three planets, right?"

Li Qing said that Lin Jiang promised them a planet, something they had always dreamed of, and they would certainly not give it up. Now, Lin Jiang was going to discuss their relationships.

"That’s right. Jiang Star does not have a proper demon race, but if Ying Continent takes over, what will happen to Jiang Star’s people and industries? Lingjing Star is co-managed by us three, so what will happen there?"

"So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is simple: each of us should have a complete planet."

"You mean to withdraw our people from Lingjing Star and give the territory to the demon race? Should the demon race also withdraw from Fangzhang Continent?"

"Almost, you must also withdraw from Ying Continent, Jiang Star will be entirely yours, and the demon race is the same, Lingjing Star will be fully yours. Perhaps this way you may lose a little, but Huaxia has complete industries in both places. I will only take away part of it, consider it a compensation. If it’s just a small matter, let’s not worry about it, we have been friends for thousands of years."

Lin Jiang said, "This is actually understandable; everyone plays their own game."

To be honest, he did not have a very good relationship with Li Qing and the Demon Queen. They had some messy history, and it would be quite alright to part ways completely this time.

"I disagree."

Li Qing said directly.

"If you are not satisfied with the price, we can talk again. Jiang Star has many industries, and you can take whoever from Ying Continent, no limit on numbers. If you want, you can even move a hundred billion people from Ying Continent."

"It’s not about that. There are generations of people from my Ying Continent living here. Although Cao Ying now rules Blue Star, Ying Continent is still our home. Why should we leave?"

Li Qing spoke, and the reason was not really that; she was simply afraid.

How strong is Ying Continent right now? Just her as an immortal, plus thirteen Tao Achievers. It seems okay, right? But compared to other worlds, they are incredibly weak.

If we break away from our connection with Blue Star, what will happen when the enemy attacks? Don’t forget, Jiang Star doesn’t have the ability to build Space Battleships—it’s like leading them to their doom.

"I don’t agree either."

The Demon Queen said this sentence against her true feelings; she really wanted to leave, but reality would not allow it.

In the end, the Demon Queen broke free from the illusion because reality overcame her instincts. In the illusion, Lin Wanli’s death was magnified, hurting her deeply, but she overcame it because she genuinely wanted to lead the demon race to glory.

The Demon Queen understood that in this Star Domain, relying only on the demon race was not enough. They must depend on Blue Star’s technology, unless Lin Jiang was willing to leave behind enough talented people and an entire set of technology, but that was just wishful thinking.

Lin Jiang and Cao Ying exchanged a glance, feeling helpless, and said, "You two, we are not going to cut ties. How can I describe it? It’s like siblings in a family splitting up; we each have our own lives, but we are still siblings. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, but I don’t agree."

"I don’t agree either."

They both answered in unison, understanding, but they still disagreed; it had to be tied together.

"So what do you think we should do now, where you are in me and I am in you? How do we deal with the benefits and such?"

"My side of Lingjing Star is simple. Ying Continent and Huaxia will continue to exist, sharing Lingjing Star. However, Lingjing Star will mainly belong to my demon race. By the way, Ying Continent needs to give a piece of land on Lingjing Star to my demon race. Li Qing, is that okay?"

"No problem. My Jiang Star will do the same. Besides giving a piece of land to the demon race, Huaxia will still have its own continent, and everything else will belong to me. Jiang Star will be my home base, under my control."

"You all…"

Lin Jiang was speechless. Is this really a good idea? Can someone be this shameless?

"Lin Jiang, it’s decided. Only by working together can our three families stand strong in the universe."

"The demon race feels the same, Lin Jiang. Let’s go with this plan."

The Demon Queen naturally agreed. In one world, she felt the demon race was no worse than anyone else, but in the starry sky, the demon race doesn’t fare well. Just look at the Buddhist and Heavenly Court worlds; the demon race is always a background character with no real status.

"Liang Long, what do you think?"

"I don’t care."

"Tell me what you think, don’t play dumb."

"I think it could work. If we can take a few more planets, each family will have one. You are in me, and I am in you, while still having our own space. That would be the best state."

"Liang Long is right. In the universe, there are many life planets. We just need to capture a few more."

Li Qing quickly agreed, saying that if they could have one more planet, she would definitely be willing to move Ying Continent away from Blue Star, but for now, that’s not possible.

"Liang Long, what about your planet? What are you planning to do?"

"Planet Alpha 88, I’ll take it over at a convenient time, but I don’t want anything else. All worldly benefits will go to you; I only need the essence."

Liang Long said he still hadn’t given up on Blue Star. No matter how strong he was alone, he didn’t have the energy to manage a planet. So, he chose to work with Lin Jiang, transferring all worldly benefits to Huaxia.

"The Alpha 88 star system might be Xia Qingshan’s hometown, Lingyun Star. Please arrange to take it quickly."

"Is it me again?"

"You want to take over Lingyun Star, of course it’s you; otherwise, should we go back to fight for Lingqing Star?"

"Maybe we should forget that; fighting for Lingyun Star is already very good."

Liang Long smiled; he wasn’t foolish. Without getting Canglan Star and the others involved, it would be impossible to capture Lingqing Star. Without enough benefits, they wouldn’t help you; they have no obligation to do so.

"Alright, let’s break up for now. We will discuss the details of profit sharing later. Right now, we have to face a few issues. The first is about the Buddhist sect, and the second is about the Heavenly Court…"

Lin Jiang waved his hand to let them leave. Since they were unwilling to separate, he must ensure they stayed aligned with him on interstellar issues, meaning they had to continue following his lead; he would be the boss.
