Chapter 829: The Lawless Person

Year 7822 of the Xia calendar on Blue Star.

The transport spaceship from Jiang Star arrived, giving Blue Star a much-needed boost with a total weight of 80 million tons of various supplies, allowing Blue Star to breathe a little easier.

With ample supplies on hand, Lin Jiang had many more options to act. Although they suffered heavy losses in this battle, they managed to achieve a bittersweet victory, and after such a victory, it was time to reward merit and offer comfort.

Before this, Lin Jiang made changes to positions within Huaxia, especially for the positions that became vacant after the battles; many of them were filled, but the material rewards were not much.

Almost all resources were used for post-war recovery, and even now, many areas are still in ruins and have not been restored.

As for material rewards, Lin Jiang always said to wait for resources from Jiang Star. Now that they have arrived, if he doesn’t distribute them, the people below will surely be unhappy.

"Ye Chen’s news is that Ye Chen has completed a major reshuffle of Jiang Star’s upper management. The total weight of the supplies for this launch batch of transport ships will not be less than one hundred million tons, and there will be a minimum value to ensure we do not receive trash, and he also promised that this amount will gradually increase until it reaches the limit of the transport ships."

"Ye Chen will have to bear the blame from now on."

"Yes, the relationship between the upper management of Jiang Star and Huaxia is very complicated, and Ye Chen is now a lonely minister."

"Have these supplies been distributed yet?"

"Yes, they have been distributed. Everyone is eagerly waiting. How could the efficiency be low? We are currently discussing whether to send the immigration ships or not."

"No need to send them. The population on Jiang Star has already exceeded ten million and can reproduce on its own. This time, Blue Star’s population loss is over ten percent, so it is unnecessary. If the empty ships go, they can just go empty."

Lin Jiang shook his head. When the immigrants arrived, the most important thing was to ease the crowding in Huaxia and develop Jiang Star. More than eight million people were sent there in total. The original plan was thirty million, but now things are different. Moreover, there are already over ten million people on Jiang Star, so they can reproduce on their own without needing to immigrate.

"Then I will reply to them and ask them to send the transport ships back quickly."

"Alright, also tell them to be careful; the Buddhist cultivators are still wandering in the starry sky."

Lin Jiang said he was also afraid that the spaceship would be intercepted by the Buddhist cultivators, but the chance was low because the universe is so vast. If they didn’t know the route in advance, it would be very difficult to intercept.

"Compared to Buddhist cultivators, what I fear more is Buddha Seed. Currently, we cannot find any trace of the seven cultivators who turned themselves in; it seems to be random. But Blue Star definitely has more than seven Buddha Seeds."

Cao Ying said that in the past few months, seven people have come forward to the Blue Star authorities. During their cultivation, they saw the image of a Buddha Master in their minds and were continuously chanting scriptures, which shocked the authorities greatly.

Cao Ying even went to check personally and found nothing unusual. She didn’t know how it was done, as her spirit seemed unable to erase that image.

"There are definitely more than seventy-seven thousand. Our promotion is still not enough; we need to have the people below promote it more. We must ensure that those who have been planted with Buddha Seeds come forward themselves. If Buddha Seed fully grows, it will be as if our previous people died for nothing."

"Is there nothing Xia Qingshan can do?"

"That person is useless."

Lin Jiang openly scolded Xia Qingshan. Everyone else was already dealing with him, but he still had no way to fix it. What else could he be but useless?

·········

In the Spiritual Energy Research Institute, Liang Long was meditating, his spirit had long entered the sea of consciousness.

In the sea of consciousness, the Buddha Master was continuously chanting scriptures, but these words had no effect on Liang Long; he was nearly yawning.

"I say, if you keep reciting these long and boring scriptures, you might as well stop. I’m going to get rid of you."

Finally, Liang Long was annoyed. After nearly a year, he could recite the Buddha Master’s words without thinking. If there was no new idea, he was going to take action.

After Liang Long finished speaking, a bright light silently entered the Spiritual Energy Research Institute and entered Liang Long’s body. The Buddha Master in the sea of consciousness suddenly opened his eyes.

"Amitabha, Benefactor Liang, the poor monk has arrived."

"Finally able to speak, how boring. Hurry up, what other tricks do you have?"

"No need, you are truly a lawless person; I cannot help you."

The Buddha Master said that in one year, he personally helped others, even a stubborn rock could be transformed. But Liang Long showed no change, and he knew that someone like Liang Long could not be helped.

Because so far, Liang Long had no weaknesses. He had shown terrifying scenes, but Liang Long felt no fear. He had also created warm moments for Liang Long, and Liang Long remained unmoved.

Greed, anger, ignorance, love, hatred, and desire seemed unable to touch Liang Long. This made the Buddha Master very curious about him, leading him to appear in person.

"Actually, your methods are impressive; it’s just a pity you met me."

Liang Long said he truly admired the Buddha Master. The illusions created by the Buddha Master and the teachings in the scriptures could easily captivate nearly everyone in the world.

The reason he couldn’t be helped was simply that he was a bit special. Liang Long’s intelligence was so high that he found many flaws in those illusions. As for the scriptures, he could logically refute them, making them completely unappealing to him, leaving him without even the desire to play along.

"To meet you is the blessing of a humble monk."

"Are you the Buddha Master of Ling Star?"

"Yes and no, I am just a Soul Fragment."

"A Soul Fragment is so powerful; I am impressed. How strong is your true self?"

"You will know when you come to Ling Star. When you arrive, you can be a true Buddha, free from limitations, and enjoy great freedom."

"Are you back again? Do I really care about a true Buddha?"

Liang Long snorted; he was truly a proud person. A mere true Buddha was not worth his betrayal. Of course, he did not think of betrayal; he only thought of choice.

"Perhaps you do not know how to walk the path after reaching Tao Achieving. After that is the tribulation. Once you are in Blue Star, your way will be cut off. You must face the heavenly tribulation with only two choices: first, leave Blue Star; second, replace Blue Star’s heavenly path. But I do not believe you can replace it, and leaving Blue Star means nowhere to go. Even that heavenly path will not let you leave."

"In the end, you want me to rely on you."

"My Buddhist path is different from your practice system. Buddhism is truly broad-minded. I can grant you a position of achievement, and you will have a planet as your territory. You can continue to grow, discover the biggest secrets of this world, and experience the most wonderful things."

"Can we change to something new? This line is boring."

"Truth needs no many words. Do you know you bear the mark of the Blue Star’s great path, your life and safety…"

"I know, I have known for a long time."

"Uh…"

"You, with a Soul Fragment, already know my special nature. Wouldn’t he know too? I’m not afraid."

"·····"

"So, if you only have this little ability, then I won’t play with you anymore. It’s boring."

Liang Long said, very sincerely. If he didn’t want to see what this so-called Buddha Master could do, he could easily destroy this Buddha Seed, okay?

"I underestimated you, let me say it again: you are indeed a lawless person. You don’t care about the teachings of Buddha, Dao, or the great path, right?"

"Of course, I can be the best. I work hard to improve myself, not to be anyone’s follower. I long for true freedom, to do whatever I want without any limits. I’m happy to be a follower of Blue Star for now, but if I ever want to leave, I can do so at any time."

Liang Long said he had many dreams, like becoming a space pirate, being the smartest person in the world, and being the perfect person in the world.

What he does is not important; what matters is that he is willing. If he wants to do something, he can succeed in it.

"Amitabha."

Buddha Master was speechless. True freedom and great independence are truly grand goals, much greater than being a king or ruler.

"Don’t worry, and don’t run away. It’s interesting to keep you around. When I’m tired of Blue Star, I will go to Lingjing Star and then to Ling Star to play with you."

Liang Long sensed that Buddha Master probably wanted to run away, so he immediately said he thought Buddha Master was quite interesting. Didn’t they say Buddha Master could do anything? How come he couldn’t handle this situation?

Of course, Liang Long was more curious about Buddha Master’s abilities. According to his guesses, Buddha Master is like Blue Star’s way of heaven. Strictly speaking, he is not a being of the three-dimensional world but a being of a higher dimension. So, do these beings possess different abilities, like understanding space and time? That’s what interested him.
