Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 926

Unknown Star Domain

Liang Long lay on the bed of the Space Mother Ship, with a complex robot beside him reading various data from the ship. The ceiling displayed the situation outside the ship, which was completely dark, with unprocessed photos of space that were just black.

This is an unknown Star Domain, recorded in the astronomy lessons of Blue Star, but it does not belong to the knowledge of Blue Star people because it has never been explored.

This is also one of Liang Long’s directions for wandering through the stars. He didn’t go to the known areas of the six major Star Domains; if he is going to explore, he wants to venture into the unknown.

All the data on the Space Mother Ship shows that the ship is very healthy, allowing Liang Long to continue his journey.

This Space Mother Ship was specially built by him, using very high-quality materials that almost emptied all of Blue Star’s top materials, making it sturdier than any other Space Mother Ship from Blue Star.

This Space Mother Ship also has many new technologies; for example, he enhanced the cultivator’s teleportation array, which is nearly comparable to the Stargate Secret Technique. If he wants to travel, he doesn’t have to fly slowly; he can teleport directly, although flying slowly is still close to one-tenth the speed of light.

"It’s been five hundred years, how fast!"

Liang Long glanced at the date and time on the mothership. It showed different times for various planets. If calculated by the Blue Star Xia calendar, he had been drifting for about five hundred years, which felt like just a blink of an eye.

These robots were self-aware artificial intelligences, but Liang Long wasn’t worried about them rebelling. First, a rebellion wouldn’t be useful for them; they were too weak. Second, the resources on the Space Mother Ship were limited, and their computing power was too small. There was no point in rebelling; they didn’t even have a chance to grow.

"Have you discovered anything interesting lately?"

Liang Long said, as drifting through space was very boring. Ninety-nine percent of the time, he faced the silence of the universe.

"Report, Captain. One hundred light years ahead, there is a gathering of cosmic dust. According to our calculations, it should form a new celestial body."

"No, that sounds boring."

Liang Long pouted, finding it uninteresting. Astronomers from Blue Star had long discovered this phenomenon: cosmic dust gathers and slowly forms a celestial body. Blue Star had been observing it for almost a thousand years and hadn’t seen a body form. He had also observed it closely for five years after coming out, and it had become dull.

"Have you ever found a life planet?"

"Not yet, Captain."

"Indeed, life planets are rare."

Liang Long nodded. In the past few hundred years, he had seen and passed by nearly eighty thousand celestial bodies, but he still had not discovered a life planet. Life planets in the universe remain special; it is very difficult for life to exist there.

However, he had many stories from his journeys. For example, he almost flew into a dying star and had to work very hard to survive.

He also encountered strange rays in the universe that almost pierced his Space Mother Ship. At that moment, the mother ship’s computer crashed, and it was only because he quickly stored the mother ship and used magic to escape that he survived.

He even found a signal device that he didn’t know if it was from the Buddhist realm or the Heavenly Court. However, he didn’t touch it because he was afraid it could be from a third party with unknown intentions. He decided to just wander calmly and stay low-key.

"Set the course for the Ibo Zone, distance estimated at three thousand light years, speed at full power, space jump set for once every ten Blue Star years."

After chatting for a while, Liang Long found it uninteresting and commanded the artificial intelligence to set a direction to move forward, to determine the speed, and to set the time for the space jump, which would allow him to gather instant energy while flying approximately every ten years; he just preferred the term "space jump."

Blue Star Xia calendar nine thousand eight hundred years, Huaxia

Lin Jiang welcomed guests from Tai Bai Star and Yuan Bai Star in Huaxia. They were the third group of guests from the Tianbei Star Domain. Previously, there had already been visitors from Yuan Zai Star.

"Taoist Friend Gu"

Lin Jiang greeted them warmly. One of Lin Jiang’s main jobs is to welcome guests from various planets. Of course, ordinary people do not have the privilege to be personally welcomed by Lin Jiang; only the high-ranking officials from each star have that honor. This is a way of equal hospitality.

"Taoist Friend Lin, I have heard countless stories about Blue Star on the way here, and today I finally see it."

The leader from Tai Bai Star expressed his feelings. There are not many stories about Blue Star among the people of Tai Bai Star, but as they get closer to Blue Star, the stories become more numerous, and the technology becomes more advanced.

For example, he was quite interested in the space station outside Blue Star. Now, the space stations are dozens of times larger than before, almost becoming a space city. They could also build floating cities like this, but their technology is not as good as Blue Star’s, and it consumes a lot.

"Then let’s enjoy our time in Blue Star and see everything there is to see."

"I want to see and also learn. Your brother tricked us badly."

"Haha, Taoist Friend Gu, you shouldn’t say that. My brother is not lying; it’s just that the event won’t happen so soon."

"That’s true. I’ve heard Blue Star is very accepting; it should allow us to learn."

"Of course, we treat all international students equally. Once they arrive, they start learning from elementary school, and how far they go depends on the abilities of the students."

Lin Jiang nodded. Most of the students sent from various planets are elite; they rarely send those who lack talent because the international students have to pay for their studies, and it is quite expensive.

Normally, they can finish their undergraduate studies without a problem, but beyond that, it depends on luck. As the amount of knowledge increases, Huaxia’s requirements for students also get higher. Without some skills, experts and professors will not consider them; it is impossible for them to be accepted as graduate students.

Following the usual customs, Lin Jiang first treated them to a meal. Blue Star is now absolutely the central planet of the Tiannan Star Domain. The arrival of many aliens has brought various cultures, including food culture.

Originally, Blue Star had more than a dozen cuisines, and now there are even more, with countless dishes that dazzle the eyes. Even Taoist Friend Gu, who is at the Transmigration Stage, couldn’t help but try some.

After the feast, as usual, he took them to see factories, laboratories, schools, and museums. He also gifted them some local specialties, like the most advanced phones and watches from Blue Star. These items may not be useful on Taibai Star, but they are quite useful here on Blue Star.

During the day, Lin Jiang showed his guests around and played, while at night he hosted grand dinners. He was very attentive to his guests, and everyone stayed awake after dinner to chat with each other.

The status of White Star in the Heavenly Court is much higher than that of Blue Star. It has a long history, plenty of immortals, strong backing, and a vast amount of knowledge.

"Before the Heavenly Court was established, the situation on each planet was similar to what Blue Star described as chaotic, and cultivators had a bleak future, which is why the Heavenly Court is very important."

"Nowadays, all planets are on the path to interstellar travel; they really cannot stop expanding. The immortals need to improve their cultivation, and relying only on hard work, they do not know how long it will take…"

Lin Jiang’s warm hospitality prompted Taoist Friend Gu to share heartfelt words. The history of White Star goes back even before the establishment of the Heavenly Court. Back then, the situation for cultivators was dire, similar to Lingyun Star, where cultivators reaching a certain level were consumed by immortals, until the Heavenly Court issued the heavenly laws that gave cultivators a future.

However, for a planet, it still needs to follow the path of expansion. It must expand to consume some cultivators rather than waiting to fade away, so that the immortals have the chance to grow stronger.

Moreover, the planets taken over after expansion can provide abundant resources. Right now, the biggest enemy of the Heavenly Court is the Buddhist sect, and both sides are expanding.

Lin Jiang understood that Taoist Friend Gu meant something deeper, but he did not respond. White Star is too far from Blue Star, over three thousand light-years away. It is very difficult to have a strategic partnership with White Star, and White Star’s strength is so great that Blue Star’s power is not enough.

Lin Jiang remained silent, and Taoist Friend Gu didn’t say much more either. However, he did mention to Lin Jiang that the biggest dispute between the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect is not about fighting for each other’s planets but about competing for third-party planets. Both are actively exploring space to find new life planets, and once discovered, battles are inevitable.

Blue Star has won many battles against the Buddhist sect, which makes Tai Bai Star very optimistic about Blue Star’s technological weapons. If they have the chance, they still want to cooperate.
