Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 939

Mahayana Star

Ci’en’s request made Lv Junyu feel uneasy. He had studied the history of Blue Star carefully, and Ci’en’s three requests were like an explosion of technology that took thousands of years to develop.

On Mahayana Star, although they were standing on the shoulders of giants, with the current industrial foundation of Mahayana Star, it was absolutely impossible to achieve that.

After careful consideration, Lv Junyu, Ci’en, and Hui Kong came to an agreement. With the current foundation of Mahayana Star, it could not be done, even if they had related technology brought from Lingqing Star, they still could not achieve it.

"Master, I have stressed many times, technology and industry are a whole. They cannot develop separately. Just one satellite might need hundreds or thousands of factories as a supply chain to be completed; this is called the upstream and downstream industrial chain.

However, Mahayana Star’s current industrial foundation does not have this industrial chain. Their technology is still very weak, our skilled workers are too few, our engineers are too few, and our technological development is too insufficient…"

"Junyu, although we have memorized all those books in school, we cannot digest that content. Our understanding of technology and industry is too limited, so we do not understand these matters. I leave it to you; tell me, how long will it take to achieve this, fifty years or a hundred years?"

"Master, in a hundred years, I can guarantee that the Buddhist Sect will have developed its own spaceship. However, I cannot guarantee the teleportation array. The teleportation array requires top-notch Formation Masters and the support of the Buddhist Sect. I can guarantee that with the technology of cultivating spiritual medicines, within a hundred years, the yield of basic spiritual medicines will double…"

"Alright, then we will give you a hundred years. We will provide you with enough support."

Blue Star, Huaxia

"The Buddhist gate has entered the race, congratulations, congratulations, the plan that has been in the works for hundreds of years is about to succeed."

Cao Ying showed a confidential document to Lin Jiang. He no longer had a secretary; Cao Ying was the one helping him.

"I have already anticipated this; Lv Junyu has done very well."

"When shall we go to conquer the Buddhist gate and take down the Buddhist gate in the Tianbei Star Domain?"

Cao Ying said, feeling a little eager to start a war to take down the Buddhist gate in the Tianbei Star Domain.

She craved more and more dao auras; she had already absorbed the dao auras from a battle on an unfamiliar planet. During that period, her power had swiftly increased, advancing by leaps and bounds.

Without dao auras, she was forced to rely on her own training, which made her progress very slow, almost like a turtle. This left Cao Ying feeling uneasy and somewhat restless.

"Still thinking about eating people, are you?"

"Yes, the urge is strong. You understand the feeling of gaining power. Right now, just relying on training, my speed is too slow. It’s very normal for a cultivator to take hundreds of years to make a tiny bit of progress when reaching Tao Achieving and Transmigration. For immortals, it’s even slower; one moment of Tao Achieving’s dao auras could equal five hundred years of my hard training."

"So you’re saying that the Demon Queen and her team are no match for you now?"

Lin Jiang said that there were no secrets between him and Cao Ying. The biggest challenge after becoming an immortal is to control your desires; otherwise, it’s easy to swallow the entire planet’s people.

"They have only consumed a little dao auras, and how much I have eaten is not comparable. Now you understand why that person from Lingyun Star was so weak back then; he had very little to eat."

Cao Ying said that when they fought with the immortal from Lingyun Star back then, the four of them could hold their own against him. Why? Because he had almost nothing to eat. Just Lingyun Star alone can produce how many masters? And they can’t just eat them all at once. On average, it takes thousands of years to consume one, and the dao auras he absorbed might not even be more than hers.

"No need to hurry, take your time. If the Buddha’s teachings truly show a flaw, the people from Tianbei Star Domain will be even more anxious than you."

"That’s true. The Buddha’s teachings in Tianbei Star Domain used to be in control, but now each planet is finding ways to drive them out. Small Shadiao brought news from Tianyuan Star Domain, saying they are even more urgent about the Buddha. The Heavenly Court’s power in Tianyuan Star Domain is too weak, and they really want to connect with us and Tianbei Star Domain."

"I already know about that. I have asked Zhu Bin’s team to send half of them to Tianyuan Star Domain to establish contact as soon as possible. When the time comes, Tianbei Star Domain will support them. But before supporting Tianyuan Star Domain, we might have to fight the Buddha to ensure a safe retreat."

Lin Jiang said that the last war in the Tianbei Star Domain was also very costly. Now they have the task of supporting the Tianyuan Star Domain. If they don’t handle the Buddha Sect, how can they dare to leave? The war will eventually happen; it cannot be stopped.

"Are we going to arrange for our people to Transmigration? The Demon Queen told me that the Shenwu Demon Emperor and the Fire Scale Demon Emperor are getting restless. They want to become immortals, but they are struggling because there are no new planets for them. All the planets in the Tiannan Star Domain already have owners; we can’t take from our own."

"The boundaries of the Star Domain are not fixed. We need to work on this and look for more life planets. If you have time, you can help find them too. Liang Long reported dozens of coordinates; we can check them out."

Lin Jiang mentioned that Liang Long occasionally reports news back. During his journey through the starry sky, he has released at least hundreds of probes. Some of the probes have disappeared, while others send back some information. Along with Liang Long’s own observations, there are a total of sixteen coordinates that meet the conditions for life planets.

However, these planets are all very far away. The nearest one is over eight hundred light-years away, and the farthest is over five thousand light-years away. Blue Star currently doesn’t have the power to confirm this and still needs the help of immortals.

"If there’s nothing urgent, I will send out a part of my soul. You still haven’t said whether we should support their Transmigration."

"Tell them to wait a bit longer; there’s no need to rush."

Lin Jiang said that it is still a time of peace. There is no need for those elders to go to battle; why hurry? They still have a long life ahead, so it’s better to be cautious.

According to Lin Jiang’s understanding of the histories of other planets, even in powerful places like the Canglan Star, the success rate for Transmigration Stage Transmigration is only about fifty percent. The last time, Cao Ying and her three companions all succeeded, but that was luck. We cannot rely on luck any longer.

So let’s let the Fire Scale Demon Emperor and the others take their time. This will also allow Lin Ying and the others to slow down and not feel so anxious.

Jiang Star

The current Jiang Star is very different from the past. Once, Jiang Star was seen as a resource planet by Lin Jiang, so its development was limited at that time.

But after Li Qing took charge, everything changed. Li Qing invested all her energy into Jiang Star, and over the years, more than ten billion people migrated from Ying Continent. Now, the population of Jiang Star has already surpassed ten billion.

Having a large population is normal, but now Jiang Star’s technological strength is impressive as well. Huaxia has lifted most of its technology restrictions on Ying Continent, except for military technology.

Ying Continent has also been diligently developing its own strength for hundreds of years, and they are quite strong too.

"Who wrote this? In the rankings of technological strength in the starry sky, we are placed second. Isn’t this nonsense? Did our thousands of years of technology development mean nothing?"

Zheng Yi pulled up a report in front of him, and several high-ranking officials from Ying Continent felt too embarrassed to look at it. It was a flattering article saying that Jiang Star ranks second among the dozens of forces under the Heavenly Court.

"Forget it, I won’t pursue this matter. I don’t like to show off. Don’t let this kind of thing appear in front of me again. The meeting continues. Today, there are two topics for the meeting: first, interstellar trade; second, space exploration…"

Zheng Yi continued, saying that over the years, life on Jiang Star has been good. Blue Star has built a cross-border teleportation array and is opening up trade routes, while they simply enjoy the benefits.

Although they can’t handle large military contracts, they are quite strong in civilian matters, even stronger than Huaxia, for one simple reason: their prices are cheaper.

Huaxia is currently focusing all its resources on military matters, which has made civilian energy and labor costs higher than those of Jiang Star, giving Jiang Star a greater advantage in products.

Jiang Star is now the kind of place where they quietly make a lot of money. Zheng Yi has changed his body several times, all with the best materials. His strength is now no less than that of a Transmigration Stage, except he doesn’t go to battle. Otherwise, he would definitely want to challenge a Buddhist cultivator to see whose body is stronger.

Jiang Star is also actively exploring space. They are in urgent need of more habitable planets because more and more powerful individuals are emerging on Jiang Star, and they need more helpers of the celestial level.

After Zheng Yi finished speaking, it was time for other executives to share their thoughts. But Zheng Yi was already lost in thought, wondering when he would be able to Transmigration, if he could even still Transmigration, and if mechanical ascension could really work.
