Chapter 854: The Great Master of the Three Stars

In the Blue Star Xia calendar, 8,350 years, Lingjing Star

On this day, Liang Long was in seclusion when he suddenly sensed something unusual. His figure disappeared from the quiet room and appeared in the sky.

In the sky of Lingjing Star, a figure slowly appeared and smiled at Liang Long.

"You are not from this world; where do you come from?"

Liang Long said, the man replied, but Liang Long could not understand, as there was a large difference in their languages.

"Beep beep…"

At that moment, Liang Long’s watch suddenly made a sound. Liang Long looked down and saw a message that told him the man was speaking Ancient Immortal Language.

Then, some information appeared in Liang Long’s watch about Ancient Immortal Language. Liang Long asked the artificial intelligence to record the information and then to translate in real-time.

"You are named Ming’an."

Liang Long said to the newcomer, according to the translation of Ancient Immortal Language, the person’s translated name is Ming’an.

"Yes, I am Ming’an, from Canglan Star."

"Where is Canglan Star?"

"Taoist friend, nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends."

"Well, would you dare to speak in person?"

"Of course, but I have one more thing to do."

"What is it?"

"Please invite the great Canglan Star and the noble Star to talk."

Ming’an said, and then he took out a beautiful box. When the box opened, a fresh fragrance floated up and gathered into the clouds above Lingjing Star.

"Liang Long, please treat him well."

A voice came to Liang Long’s ear, and he nodded. He led Ming’an into the Modern City without disturbing anyone else. As Ming’an looked at everything in the Modern City, he felt very amazed.

Meanwhile, in the clouds of the sky, Xia Qingshan appeared. Before him, a figure gathered, a handsome middle-aged man.

"Canglan Star Li Canghai greets you, my Taoist friend."

"Blue Star Xia Qingshan has met a Taoist friend."

"Blue Star, is the Taoist friend not a great immortal in this realm?"

"So what if it is?"

"Taoist friend, I have come here with good intentions."

Li Canghai said to Xia Qingshan, showing that he held no hostility.

"I know, otherwise I would not have allowed you to appear; just speak plainly, what is the matter?"

"Taoist friend, do you know the Ancient Immortal Language? Have you heard of the Heavenly Court?"

"Heavenly Court?"

"Taoist friend truly does not know?"

"I have never heard of the Ancient Immortal Language. In my homeland, it is also a legend. It has not been used for a long time. I only studied it a little when I was young to research some ancient books."

Xia Qingshan said with a gloomy face. When he was a cultivator, no one used the Ancient Immortal Language anymore, but there were still texts left. He learned some of it because he wanted to explore ancient tombs and find some treasures. However, after several adventures, he gained very little and almost lost his temper.

Of course, that is not the main point. The main point is that the Ancient Immortal Language was something legendary in his world back then. He had never heard of it before, but now it has appeared.

"It seems that your birthplace is also an outer land. However, do you know that the Heavenly Court is the ancestral home of all immortals? It is where the creation of heaven and earth exists…"

Li Canghai explained to Xia Qingshan what the Heavenly Court is. From Li Canghai’s perspective, the history of the Heavenly Court is incredibly ancient, and no one knows for how many years it has existed. The Heavenly Court is filled with talented people and countless immortals, and it oversees many planets.

Furthermore, the planets under the Heavenly Court are not allowed to attack one another. They can coexist peacefully and communicate with each other, among other things.

Xia Qingshan looked at Li Canghai. He naturally knew what Li Canghai was saying, but it was only part of the truth and perhaps not the most valuable information.

"What does the term ‘people from the outer land’ mean that you mentioned, Taoist Friend Li?"

"It naturally refers to immortals like Taoist Friend Xia, who are not under the rule of the Heavenly Court."

"And then?"

"I hope my Taoist friend can join my Heavenly Court."

"What are the benefits of joining the Heavenly Court?"

"Of course, the planet where my Taoist friend is from used to be a part of the Buddhist realm, right?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever heard of Ling Star?"

"Of course."

"Ling Star, just like our Heavenly Court, is a world under the Buddhist realm. Now that it is occupied by my Taoist friend, the Buddhist realm will not let it go easily and will definitely send troops to take it back. If my Taoist friend joins my Heavenly Court, we can guarantee that my Taoist friend will be worry-free."

"But I feel that I am not familiar with the Heavenly Court. Will the Heavenly Court go to war with the Buddhist realm for me?"

Xia Qingshan said that he never believed in the good things that fall from the sky. Since everyone is unfamiliar, why would the Heavenly Court offend the Buddhist sect for him? It’s something that doesn’t need thinking about; there must be other reasons behind it.

"My Taoist friend, it is wise to be cautious. However, you might not know that we have been at war with the Buddhist sect for many years, and neither side can do anything to the other. If you join the Heavenly Court, it is not that the Heavenly Court wants to fight for you, but rather that the Buddhist sect will not dare to act against you."

"Ah, I see. Let me think about it a bit."

"My Taoist friend, this place is not far from the Buddhist sect’s Lingfa Star. Lingfa Star is a major world for the Buddhist sect. If you are slow to react, they might come here."

"Hmph, I know about Lingfa Star. It’s better if they don’t come. If they do, I’ll take care of them and make Lingfa Star my fourth planet."

"Four planets? Are you the Three Star Great Immortal?"

Upon hearing this, Li Canghai gasped in surprise, and his gaze towards Xia Qingshan changed.

······

Lingjing Star, Modern City

Liang Long is chatting with Ming’an about their Canglan Star, and a lot of information is being recorded by Liang Long’s watch.

At this moment, Ming’an is very talkative; he feels as if he has met a kindred spirit. Talking to Liang Long feels refreshing, like a reunion of old friends.

Liang Long looks at Ming’an with a smile; he is not using any special magic against Ming’an, but simply using his higher intelligence and emotional skills to impress him.

There is a saying that if you feel an instant connection with a stranger, as if you have been friends for years, it may not be because you are well-matched, but because the other person is on a much higher level than you, and you are simply being overwhelmed.

Ming’an also asks about Lingjing Star, as its situation is very different from the world he once saw; in his place, there are not so many tall buildings, and ordinary people and low-level cultivators cannot fly away from the planet.

Liang Long tries his best to satisfy his curiosity. Technology is not a secret; anyway, real technological knowledge cannot be learned just like that. Lingjing Star has their support but will still take hundreds of years to upgrade its technological power.

After chatting for most of the day, Liang Long received a message from Xia Qingshan, and Ming’an received a message from Li Canghai. They each took a break, and since Ming’an is staying as a guest, Liang Long called Zhang Qing to entertain him.

Blue Star, Huaxia

When Xia Qingshan arrived, Lin Jiang had already asked the others to leave.

After listening to Xia Qingshan’s story, Lin Jiang fell silent for a long time. The words "Heavenly Court" that suddenly appeared filled Lin Jiang’s mind with many thoughts.

"Don’t be silent. Is the Heavenly Court you talked about from your world the same as the Heavenly Court that just appeared?"

Xia Qingshan immediately said, remembering that Lin Jiang had told him before that his previous world had a legend about the Heavenly Court, where each of those gods was incredibly powerful and had mighty abilities.

"If I say I don’t know, will you believe me?"

"You, Lin Jiang, why are you hiding things from me at a time like this? We are like grasshoppers on the same string."

"·····"

Lin Jiang felt speechless. He couldn’t just say that he had made all that up, right? That he was intentionally misleading Xia Qingshan, could he?

"Xia Qingshan, this matter needs careful thinking. I feel that Li Canghai tricked you into joining the Heavenly Court, and he might not have good intentions."

"I know he doesn’t have good intentions; otherwise, I would have joined already. I need to know what to do now—should I refuse or agree?"

"Of course, I’ll just make it easy for you. Xia Qingshan, you are the master of three planets now. You are the boss. Would you like to join the Heavenly Court and be a little brother?"

"Of course, I do not want to."

Xia Qingshan said, "I would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Once you are used to being the boss, who wants to be a little brother?"

"This is it! You know what to do now."

"But I’m afraid that if I don’t agree, what if Canglan Star comes to attack us? You are all so weak now; you can’t stop them."

"Don’t underestimate us. Even though we seem weak now, I tell you, the fighting power of Blue Star, Jiang Star, and Lingjing Star is a thousand times stronger than traditional cultivation planets. You need to have confidence."

Lin Jiang said directly, "What a joke! If a real fight breaks out, it’ll be on Lingjing Star. If Lingjing Star gets destroyed, I won’t feel sad at all. Then we can fully use our industrial power, which is not the same as fighting on Blue Star."

"I don’t believe you. Are you saying that you won’t be the one to die then?"

"You said we’re all in the same boat, so why divide us? How about this: I will arrange to go to Lingjing Star and meet them. How does that sound?"

Lin Jiang said that he also wanted to meet the aliens and explore the secrets of the Heavenly Court to see what was really going on.
