In the Blue Star Xia calendar year 8600, Lingjing Star
The interdimensional teleportation array opened, and one group after another appeared. Soon, the Lunar Base on the planet was packed with people. Transport ships landed to take them to Lingjing Star.
This is Blue Star’s immigration plan. Although Lingjing Star has been transformed and Huaxia Language is spread here, it is still not deep enough. Therefore, Lin Jiang ordered that millions of people should immigrate.
This is already the sixth batch, with each batch ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. They will be arranged in various areas of Lingjing Star to increase the influence of Huaxia Language.
Along with them, there are also some scientists from the Spiritual Energy Research Institute. Now, Lingjing Star might be at the frontline of a war, so more scientists are needed here to serve.
Of course, there are also people from Lingjing Star heading to Blue Star, mainly elite university students from Lingjing Star. They will go to Blue Star to study further and bask in the glory of their mother planet.
"Ancestor Lin, the problem with the Buddhist signal device has been resolved."
One day, Liang Long came to find Lin Jiang, and he immediately brought good news: the signal device of the Buddhist Gate was fixed.
The key point of the Buddhist Gate’s Stargate Secret Technique is that it requires a signal for accurate positioning; otherwise, the Stargate cannot reach a specific area and will randomly open passages to unknown places.
The Buddhist Gate’s method involves launching various types of locators, which can even disguise themselves as meteors drifting in space to search for planets with life.The Stargate Secret Technique of Blue Star also comes from the Buddhist Gate, but they were previously unable to accurately decipher the locators of the Buddhist Gate. They learned how to come to Lingjing Star only after interrogating a Buddhist cultivator. Now, Liang Long has solved this problem.
"Liang Long, well done."
"Ancestor Lin, we shouldn’t celebrate too early. Although we can move forward along the positioning left by the Buddhist Gate, we cannot use it for interdimensional teleportation arrays. We still need to open the Stargate Secret Technique ourselves. With our current strength, it would take hundreds of years to reach Lingfa Star, unless Ancestor Lin can summon everyone from Blue Star and Jiang Star back."
Liang Long said, "The experts from Lingfa Star who are coming have hundreds of masters above Tao Achieving. We only have a few people; it’s not enough."
"I am not in a hurry. I have patience. Now, cultivators of Void Achieving are appearing in large numbers, and in a few years, there will be a surge in Tao Achieving as well."
Lin Jiang said, "It has been hundreds of years since the battle with Jiang Star. Blue Star has already replenished its losses. The number of Void Achieving cultivators is continuously increasing. In a few years, Tao Achieving will also emerge in large numbers, reaching a breakthrough state."
"That’s fine. I will organize these skills so that others can study them."
"Okay, you have worked hard these years. Do you want to take a break for a while?"
"No need. Life is about striving. I don’t need to rest."
Liang Long refused. With his body, as long as he wanted, he could go on for hundreds of years without feeling tired. He still had many things to do. There were so many research tasks, he had no time for a vacation.
"Since you want to keep working, then go ahead. Remember to finish the projects I mentioned before. We still need to prepare for battle."
Lin Jiang said, "It is not right to hold a grudge. We also need to prepare for battle. Sooner or later, we will reach Lingfa Star."
······
"Xia Qingshan?"
One day, Lin Jiang returned to his quiet room and saw someone inside. He asked.
The person turned around; it was Xia Qingshan. Lin Jiang frowned slightly and said, "It’s not just a shadow anymore; he has a body now?"
"Li Canghai gave me a gift as a greeting, a mystical technique to create an ethereal body."
"Is an ethereal body different from our body?"
"Yes, but you could also say no. The ethereal body is very mysterious, and you wouldn’t understand even if I explained it."
"Will it be around for a long time?"
"Not really. Whether it’s Lingjing Star, Jiang Star, or Blue Star, there’s nowhere I want to go."
"So, tell me why you’re looking for me. I don’t believe you just want to catch up."
Lin Jiang also pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Xia Qingshan.
"I do have something to talk about; I want revenge."
"The signal to Lingfa Star has been decoded. I am waiting for the growth of the cultivators. Once their numbers are enough, we can begin. After all these years, a little more time doesn’t matter."
Lin Jiang said he was already preparing for battle. The fleet for the expedition to Lingfa Star was being built; they just needed higher-level cultivators. The area of Lingfa Star is so vast that it won’t work without enough skilled people; relying only on the Space Fleet is not enough.
"It’s not Lingfa Star; it’s my hometown."
"Your hometown?"
"A place called Lingyun Star."
"Lingyun Star, do you know where it is? I will bring up the Star Chart."
"I don’t know for now."
"Um, let’s point in a direction. Once we have a direction, I will send someone to launch a probe."
"It is east of Blue Star. I can’t tell if it is northeast or southeast. I also don’t know the distance, but it is definitely more than a hundred light-years away."
"Why do I feel like you are playing tricks on me?"
Lin Jiang said, with just this one sentence, it made him search across the universe. How is this not playing with him?
"I don’t need to trick you. You don’t know what I went through back then. When I arrived at Blue Star, I almost died; it was the kind of situation where my spirit was about to break. I slept on Blue Star for many years before I woke up. It was only two thousand years ago that I fully recovered."
"Two thousand years; so spiritual energy recovery has been happening for two thousand years."
When Lin Jiang heard the number two thousand years, he suddenly understood. He then remembered that spiritual energy recovery was not something that happened a few hundred years ago, but rather two thousand years ago. Time really flies.
"I admit, over these two thousand years, thanks to you, I would not be where I am today without you. So, Lin Jiang, help me take revenge and fulfill my last wish. After the revenge, I am willing to grant you any request, including letting your woman, family, and friends all become immortals. If there are new life planets, they can go and occupy them; I will never be envious."
"Hehe."
"You don’t believe me?"
"What do you think?"
"Lin Jiang, there is no need to doubt me. I am not a saint, but I am not an evil person either. Since I learned about the existence of the Buddhist Gate and the Heavenly Court, I also need friends."
"Lin Jiang, you know that the Ling Star of the Buddhist Gate and the Heavenly Court both have immortals. The planets they come from have left a way for cultivators, not blocking all paths. If they can do it, I can too."
Xia Qingshan said, he talked with Li Canghai a lot. The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Gate both have many immortals. These immortals do not occupy planets and do not pretend to be the true way of heaven. The Heavenly Court can do it, the Buddhist Gate can do it, and he can do it too.
Furthermore, he really needs friends. He actually doesn’t plan to rely on the Heavenly Court anymore; he wants to stand on his own. After being a leader for so many years, no one wants to become a subordinate again.
"May I ask, can the immortals of the Heavenly Court live forever?"
"I don’t know, but it probably isn’t possible. I don’t know my limits, but I am sure there are limits. The river of time is very mysterious. Look at the celestial bodies outside; which one hasn’t existed for tens of millions of years, or even billions? However, they also have lifespans. Of course, perhaps only a being at the level of the Buddha Master could know if there is eternal life, but I don’t know now, and I have no reason to lie to you."
"I also believe you are not lying to me. Alright, I agree to this matter, but I can’t help you get revenge right away, especially since you don’t even know where your hometown is."
"I can wait, but you must not trick me. You have to make it happen."
"Don’t worry, exploring the stars and traveling the universe is also my goal in life. Even without you saying it, I would do it."
Lin Jiang said that his journey was to the stars and the sea. This had been his life goal for many years. Even if Xia Qingshan didn’t mention it, he would still do it and take care of Xia Qingshan’s enemies at the same time.
"Thank you, Lin Jiang."
"There is no need to thank me. Just focus on learning a few more ways to use the power of rules. Look at our battle against the Buddhist sect. If it weren’t for our technology, we would have lost eight hundred times by now."
Lin Jiang said that many of the Buddhist sect’s techniques are hard for cultivators to handle, such as the Buddhist bell and the Buddhist domain. They rely on technology for support, and it is really just luck that we won; otherwise, we would have lost long ago.
Xia Qingshan was taken aback and didn’t know what to say. Seeing him in trouble, Lin Jiang laughed it off and moved on. He didn’t push him; with time, he would eventually learn all his secrets.
