Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 935

Unknown Star Domain

The Droplet Robot is almost out of energy, but the victories it brought are very great, much greater than the achievements of those thousands of retired warships and exported warships. At first glance, there are just countless shining dao auras.

The Buddhist cultivators did not dare to collect it. The living Buddhist cultivators were all on guard. One-eighth the speed of light is too fast. The distance of thousands of kilometers could be covered in at most one-tenth of a second. Most Buddhist cultivators could not react in time; they could only wait helplessly, trying to withstand the Droplet Robot’s impact.

"Brother, we lost."

A true Buddha spoke, and a group of true Buddhas fell silent.

They had indeed lost. They thought they caught Heavenly Court off guard with their superior numbers and could win this battle, but they did not expect this result.

They could not afford to lose now; the Buddhist cultivators here could not all be lost because they had almost drained the Buddhist power in the Tianbei Star Domain. Heavenly Court only had half of its power in the southern part of the Tianbei Star Domain, roughly a quarter of it. If all the Buddhist cultivators fell here, it was possible that the entire Tianbei Star Domain would be lost.

The power of the Buddha and Heavenly Court is intertwined. In the six major Star Domains, each Star Domain has both the Buddha and Heavenly Court. Now the Buddha has completely lost the Tiannan Star Domain. If they also lose the Tianbei Star Domain, it would create a sense of great decline for the Buddha, which would be a huge blow.

Choosing the lesser of two evils, the Buddha must consider the bigger picture.

"Boom!"

A giant shadow appeared, like a celestial body, blocking the attack from the Space Battleship.

"Bald donkey, you really dare to strike!"

"You’re looking for trouble."

The true Buddha acted, causing the immortals to become very angry and ready to fight again.

"Amitabha, Immortal Lord Chang Rong, in this battle, the Buddhist sect surrenders."

One true Buddha spoke, causing the immortals who were ready to fight to be taken aback, and then they all began to laugh.

"Bald donkey, are you not going to fight?"

"Bald donkey, weren’t you just very powerful? Why are you backing down now? Keep going!"

"Bald donkey…"

A group of immortals began to mock, but the true Buddhas did not get angry. Their expressions remained calm, showing a stance of indifference.

"Grandmaster…"

"Buddha…"

The remaining Buddhist cultivators showed expressions of sorrow; some gasped in shock. Many among them were still unwilling to give up. They still had great strength, still had the ability to fight, and many were willing to risk their lives for the Buddhist faith. So why did the true Buddhas give up?

"Enough, stop talking."

Immortal Lord Chang Rong also stopped the immortals’ teasing, saying that it was enough. Don’t provoke the Buddhists any further. If the true Buddhas and immortals continued to fight, both sides would suffer.

"Bald donkey, according to the rules, you may retreat, but you can only take the living."

The Immortal Lord Chang Rong said to the true Buddhas, "Those who are alive can leave, but the dead cannot be taken away. The spoils of war are also not allowed to be taken. These are valuable things. Even the bodies, they must take back to feed the demon beasts. Many planets still have demon beasts, and controlling demon beasts is their tradition."

There are very few places like Blue Star that can stand on equal ground with the demon race, almost none at all. At most, some people have formed bonds with their beast pets over time, raising them until they eventually ascend and become part of the Heavenly Court.

The true Buddhas were silent and quickly took away the living Buddhist cultivators: over seven hundred Bodhisattvas and more than eight thousand Arhats. The number of surviving Bodhisattvas was less than three hundred, and the Arhats also dropped to fewer than three thousand, with casualties over half.

Lin Jiang also looked at the Heavenly Court side. The Tiannan Star Domain had sent out over three hundred Transmigration fighters and more than three thousand Tao Achieving, plus over two hundred Transmigration fighters and more than two thousand Tao Achieving from the Tianbei Star Domain. Together, they were quite strong, but unfortunately, they also suffered about one-third casualties, especially the Tianbei Star Domain, which faced the greatest losses. At the beginning, they were surrounded by Buddhist cultivators, and only a few dozen Transmigration Stage fighters remained.

"Clean up the battlefield. No one is allowed to hide anything. Those who dare to hide will be killed without mercy."

"Everyone, the Heavenly Court will reward you after the battle. Do not harm your own lives for small gains."

A voice of an immortal kept coming, warning everyone not to hide anything, and he even glanced at Lin Jiang. This guy was too clever, and many people would be watching him.

Lin Jiang also realized he was being watched, so he refused to clean up the battlefield on the grounds of being injured and directly went to the Space Mother Ship to relax, trying to act innocent.

·······

A war that lasted more than ten Blue Star days has ended, and over seven thousand skilled fighters have fallen on the battlefield. However, Immortal Lord Chang Rong only managed to gather around four thousand, which is almost half.

The other half was taken away during the fighting by others; even the true Buddha secretly took some, and so did the immortals. Those like Lin Jiang who openly snatched things were actually quite rare.

This was indeed a careless act by Lin Jiang. In fact, those at the Transmigration Stage, like Ming Xin, received secret orders from their respective masters to hide things quietly; it was not supposed to be so open. Does the Heavenly Emperor not care about face? This is all a bargaining chip for the Heavenly Emperor to win over the immortals.

After more than ten days, the battlefield was finally cleaned up, truly spotless, with not a single piece of flesh left; everything was cleared away. The Blue Star forces returned, with three hundred Tao Achieving, about half of whom had fallen. This was mainly because the Tao Achieving from Blue Star were too young and had not experienced such brutal battles; the veteran Lin Jiang did not bring them out.

The immortals took some of their forces from both the Tiannan and Tianbei Star Domains to guard the life planet, while the others returned home, especially those from the Tianbei Star Domain. The Buddhist sect from Tianyuan Star Domain was gathering, fearing there would be more war. They also needed to return to defend.

Lin Jiang and Ming Xin left together, opened the Stargate, and arrived at Xuanque Star, then each took the teleportation array back home.

"Taoist Friend Lin, regarding the Space Battleship, I will send someone to Blue Star to hand it over to you. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Taoist Friend Da, for your understanding."

"I also hope that Taoist Friend Lin understands us. In the future, the things you sell to us should no longer be the monkey versions."

Taoist Friend Da softly said, "Usually, it’s not obvious, but once they started fighting, they realized the Space Battleship Lin Jiang provided them is much worse than the one used by Blue Star. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have resorted to self-destruction."

"Ahem, Taoist Friend Da, um, well, that’s the usual practice, it won’t happen again…"

Lin Jiang felt very embarrassed when caught in the act.

It’s quite normal for the weapons sold to be of lesser quality; it’s really just how things are done. They have to be careful in case of future conflicts, what if they used these weapons against themselves?

But rules are rules, and being publicly exposed made it very awkward and quite disappointing.

Taoist Friend Da didn’t want to say much more and changed the subject. After all, only Blue Star sells those advanced technology weapons; you can’t find them anywhere else.

Lin Jiang returned to Blue Star with his team, and Demon Queen and Li Qing took their teams back as well.

"Are you okay?"

Cao Ying appeared and said to Lin Jiang, as she had seen him getting hit several times.

"It’s nothing. You know how good I am at staying alive."

Lin Jiang said, with his seven layers of clothing mostly torn, he had some minor injuries but no serious ones. In this battle, he actually didn’t do much fighting. He was the one who fought the least among all the Transmigration Stage. People like Ming Xin and Taoist Friend Da were all heavily injured. If they weren’t rich and had many treasures, they would have ended up like other Transmigrations, dead.

"It’s good if you’re fine. In this battle, the Transmigration Stage was killed like vegetables. It’s too dangerous."

"Cough, don’t make us sound so weak. I am actually very strong."

"Isn’t there enough dead Transmigrations already?"

Cao Ying’s gaze turned cold. She didn’t like Lin Jiang’s careless attitude. Who knows how worried she was at that time? Especially when Lin Jiang took the dao auras. She almost couldn’t help but rush out to save him, which was against the rules.

"Let’s not talk about that. In this battle, how many dao auras did you get?"

"Now it’s about two hundred. More than a hundred was from you, and the rest I secretly gathered. Everyone is doing this. I asked Li Canghai, and after the battle, the Heavenly Court will reward us. They might release around two thousand, and I can get about thirty, while the Demon Queen and Li Qing can get a little over ten."

Cao Ying said, according to the rules, Heavenly Court takes away the spoils and rewards half of it to the meritorious immortals. Of course, there’s a reason for that half. The dao auras from Transmigration Stage are different from those of Tao Achieving. But it doesn’t matter, as long as we can get something. Even Li Qing and the Demon Queen, who were defeated early in the battle, will receive some, but those who truly died won’t get anything.

"A great harvest!"

Lin Jiang said, after the war, Cao Ying could gain over two hundred dao auras. If they wait for Blue Star’s Tao Achieving to enter meditation, it would take many years, at least hundreds of thousands of years to start. So, it’s better to use war, plundering, and destruction to earn money quickly.
