Cultivation: Being Immortal Chapter 948

Tianyuan Star Domain, Qiyuan Star

Currently, there are eighteen life planets in the Tianyuan Star Domain. Among them, the Buddhist sect has eleven planets under its control, while the Heavenly Court only has seven life planets, and most of the Heavenly Court’s life planets are small and damaged, lacking resources. The best life planets are almost all occupied by the Buddhist sect, with only Qiyuan Star being somewhat better.

However, at this moment, the sect on Qiyuan Star is also in great danger. The ten Yu family Buddhist temples, where the Buddhist sect has embedded itself, are shining brightly with countless rays of light, and hundreds of thousands of Buddhist cultivators, along with tens of thousands of followers, are reciting scriptures together. The Buddhist sect’s psychic power fills the world, and only a few major forces of the sect still have their gates intact.

"Brother, let’s retreat. We can’t hold on any longer. If we don’t leave now, I will fall here!"

An immortal appeared and dispersed some of the psychic power, shouting at the other immortals who were trying to take control of Qiyuan Star.

"Junior brother, Qiyuan Star is the foundation of our way. If we lose Qiyuan Star, we will be like stray dogs without a home."

A middle-aged immortal appeared, showing a pained expression. At that moment, although he was the master of the planet, Qiyuan Star was about to be taken away.

The psychic power released by those followers of the Buddhist sect is the weapon for them to fight for the planets. Wherever the psychic power goes, it merges with the true Buddha’s rules, blocking his control over the planet and preventing him from receiving supplies from it.

Outside the planet, there are also true Buddhas attacking. The power of the Buddhist sect is overwhelming, and even if they seek help from the Heavenly Court, they cannot be saved for the time being. If they wait any longer and the Buddhist sect breaks through the remaining gates of the other immortal sects, he will completely lose control over Qiyuan Star, and they will also fall into the siege of the true Buddhas, facing the risk of downfall.

"Brother, as long as the green mountains remain, we don’t have to worry about firewood; if we don’t leave now, it will be too late."

"Brother, hurry and go! We can’t hold them off any longer. The reinforcements from the Heavenly Court haven’t arrived, and they are most likely being delayed. Let’s retreat to Huiyuan Star; the cross-border teleportation array has already been built. We can save our strength and fight back later."

"Brother…"

Qiyuan Star is very powerful and has produced several immortals. At this moment, they are fighting fiercely. The first wave of reinforcements from the Heavenly Court has arrived, but the second wave is still nowhere to be seen. They are on the verge of being overwhelmed, and the path of the immortals is about to be extinguished.

"Brother, if you don’t leave, I will. I can’t die here."

One immortal, seeing his brother so hesitant, gritted his teeth and decided to run away. He had spent tens of thousands of years in hard practice to become an immortal, and after enjoying life for only two thousand years, he cannot fall here.

"Junior brother, you…"

"Will you go or not, brother? Just one word."

"Go, go!"

The middle-aged immortal said with a sad voice, even though he felt very reluctant, he had to make a choice now.

Soon, several immortals sent messages to the resisting sects, telling them to get ready to leave; the immortal would personally protect them as they departed.

Inside the sect, the high-ranking cultivators heard the immortal’s order and looked very sorrowful. Although they had expected this outcome, they were still very sad, as they were about to lose their beautiful land.

Several starships opened, and the disciples quickly ran onto the starships. Some cultivators who came to seek refuge also wanted to board but were harshly turned away. The starships were too small to hold everyone, and they could only leave some people behind.

"You bastards, you would rather let a group of beasts on than let us in…"

"Let me on, I am a genius…"

"Brother Dao, it’s me…"

In front of the starship, chaos erupted. Even among our own disciples, some were not allowed to enter, let alone the outsiders seeking refuge. When someone saw some beast pets allowed on the starship, they became furious and even started fighting.

A few immortals looked at the scene before them and felt very sad, but they did not stop it. There are thousands of sects in Qiyuan Star; some sects have a long history and powerful supporters, while others are quite ordinary. Their beginnings determined today’s outcome.

"Slow down the attack and let them go."

Among the Buddhist sect, a Buddhist cultivator used their special sight and saw the chaos in several mountain gates. However, they chose not to take advantage of the situation to attack. Instead, they gave the others a chance to escape. Attacking now would force them into a desperate situation; it’s better to let them go for now and see if we can catch them on the way.

"Senior brother, we have basically taken Qiyuan Star, and the progress on the other planets is going well. The Tianyuan Star Domain belongs to our Buddhist sect."

"That’s good, but do not be overly proud. In the six Star Domains, the number of planets occupied by our Buddhist sect is not many, especially in the monster realm and the Demon Realm. We have a long way to go."

"Yes, senior brother. Then how about we rush to the Tianbei Star Domain and take it over as well?"

"We will go to the Tianbei Star Domain, but taking over the whole area is not realistic. Our mission is to take control of the four planets in the Tianbei Star Domain, including Taibai Star. This way, our Buddhist sect will have an advantage in the Tianbei Star Domain and can plan further later."

The Bodhisattva said that swallowing two Star Domains at once was beyond the strength of the Buddhist sect. They were very rational and only wanted a few planets in the Tianbei Star Domain to achieve a power balance against the Heavenly Court. After that, they could slowly take more.

Huiyuan Star, interstellar teleportation base

Tens of thousands of Buddhist disciples attacked the interstellar teleportation base, triggering a counterattack from the base’s defense forces. In an instant, six dual-barreled machine guns, two heavy artillery positions, and three main guns opened fire simultaneously. Even the robots and drones did not engage; those Buddhist cultivators were all eliminated.

"These light weapons are really useful."

Zhu Bin sneered; even the so-called heavy artillery seemed like light weapons to them. Heavy weapons are only those that can be called space battleships. Moreover, compared to the spiritual energy recovery back then, today’s machine guns are different. Golden core-level cultivators can be easily killed.

"Master, our forces are fully mobilized, and the weapons have been distributed."

A cultivator approached and said their team had almost twenty thousand people, including accompanying scientists, engineers, technicians, and ordinary workers. They were all mobilized and armed now, and everyone had a weapon.

These weapons are definitely not enough against experts like those at Void Achieving or Tao Achieving Transmigration, but they can still handle some at the Soul Changing level.

"What about Lin Cong? Have you found him?"

"No, he went to have fun inside Huiyuan Star with Taoist Friend Ming Xin from Canglan Star. I sent him a message, but he hasn’t replied."

"Lin Cong, forget it, forget it."

Zhu Bin shook his head; he could not manage Ancestor Lin’s brother, as he didn’t even have the authority to locate him. Otherwise, he could use the computer at the base to find him.

"Master, you don’t need to worry. Lin Cong Martial Uncle has more treasures than you and I combined. I think it wouldn’t be surprising if he took out a Space Mother Ship. It’s very hard to kill him."

Zhu Bin’s disciple advised, saying that Lin Cong was a very special presence in their team and in the whole Blue Star. Only a few people, like Lin Jiang, could handle him, and he was also incredibly wealthy, with many valuable things. He wouldn’t die easily.

"Master, look! It’s Lin Cong Martial Uncle and Taoist Friend Ming Xin, along with some people from the Tianyuan Star Domain…"

Half an hour later, they saw Small Shadiao and the others return. After verification, Zhu Bin opened the protective shield of the base to let them in.

"Taoist Friend Zhu."

"This is Taoist Friend Hao En. I wonder how the battle is going."

"Taoist Friend Zhu, Huiyuan Star is doing fine, and the Buddha Riot has been suppressed. However, the situation with the other families is worrying. They have already evacuated and are on their way back. The Tianyuan Star Domain probably cannot be saved."

"How could this happen?"

"Daoist Friend Zhu, the strength of the Heavenly Court in the Tianyuan Star Domain is weaker than that of the Buddhist Sect. It relies on support from other Star Domains to stand firm. Now, the situation in the Tianhua Star Domain is uncertain, and the promised reinforcements have not arrived. Meanwhile, the Tianbei Star Domain has reported that they are being held back by the Buddhist Sect, and we cannot expect help from distant Star Domains."

"Are you all going to retreat?"

Zhu Bin was silent for a moment before he spoke. This outcome was hard for him to accept. He wanted to spread the teleportation array throughout the universe, and they had only covered two Star Domains so far. Did that mean they had to stop?

"Brother Zhu, the enemy is strong. We can only avoid their attacks and move to the Tianbei Star Domain for now, and plan for the future later."

"Okay."

"Brother Zhu, the troops from the Tianbei Star Domain are arriving, but they cannot come all at once. How many times can this teleportation array be used in a short time?"

"Usually, it can be used three times. After three uses, a major repair is needed. Our team is here, and I can guarantee five times without any problems. After five times, I can’t guarantee safety. If something goes wrong during the teleportation, there is basically no way to save them."

Zhu Bin said that cross-border teleportation arrays are more dangerous than Stargates. Once a teleportation goes wrong, they don’t know where they will end up. They have recorded several incidents where teleportation personnel completely vanished, and all their Soul Lamps went out.

"Five times…"

"Five times is the limit; you all need to think carefully."

Zhu Bin said, then he gave a sign to his disciple. Since they were going to retreat, he needed to ensure the safety of his people. His team had to be ready, and before leaving, they had to prepare to destroy the teleportation array. These things were highly confidential, and he was afraid they would fall into the hands of the Buddha sect. If the technology leaked, it would be a problem.

The disciple took the order and quickly made arrangements. They had plans for situations like this; they just needed to follow the plan.

"The Star Ship has appeared…"

In less than half a day, everyone saw the Star Ship arrive. It was coming from another planet, and the great escape from the Tianyuan Star Domain was about to begin.
