Chapter 852: The Great Gathering

In the year 8235 of the Blue Star Xia Calendar, on Lingjing Star.

Zhu Bin and his group arrived at Lingjing Star, where Liang Long and his team welcomed them and held a grand welcome banquet.

After the banquet, Zhu Bin and the high-ranking officials of Lingjing Star met privately. They talked about many things, both official and personal.

When Liang Long learned from Zhu Bin that the cover of the Huaxia textbook had changed to Zhu Bin’s likeness, he was instantly amused. He had no idea about this small matter and was hearing it for the first time; he didn’t know what to say.

"Over a hundred light-years, nine transfer teleportation arrays. These nine transfer stations should be the starting point for Blue Star to explore the universe."

Liang Long said that, according to his expectations, he wouldn’t be wrong. It is very clear that exploring outwards from these nine transfer stations is very beneficial.

"Of course, but it’s not nine, it’s ten, including Lingjing Star."

"Ancestor Lin is too ambitious. It’s easy for Lingjing Star to bump into other worlds when exploring outward. The Buddha sect is very strong, and that Fa Kong’s power is not lower than that of Kong Yan back then."

Liang Long said that when they eliminated Kong Yan, it was with the combined effort of six Transmigration Stage from Blue Star and the assistance of a Space Battleship. It took all that to defeat him, and Fa Kong is stronger, so they don’t know what price they will have to pay.

"This is what Ancestor Lin requested. I don’t know, and I won’t worry about it."

"Alright, since it’s Ancestor Lin’s request, we will obey."

"Are the raw materials on Lingjing Star ready?"

"Almost, but some spiritual talismans cannot be refined, as the Talisman Makers of Lingjing Star are not skilled enough."

"This is normal; currently, only Ancestor Lin can refine them. But that’s okay, we still have reserves. Once the passage is fully opened, Blue Star will send some over for storage."

Zhu Bin said that Lin Jiang taught others about the power of the rules, but no one has learned it yet. There’s nothing they can do about that, they can only work hard for Lin Jiang. When Zhu Bin set off this time, he brought all the key materials for the cross-border teleportation array.

"If that’s the case, then we can start work tomorrow. If the location is set on Lingjing Star, then we will mainly use nuclear energy. We have solar energy technology, but there is not enough space to set up so many solar panels. If we set it up on the nearest uninhabited planet, then we can use solar energy."

"Then let’s choose the nearest uninhabited planet. How far is it?"

"Very close, about fifty million kilometers. Later, we can build an Interstellar Teleportation Array to come back directly, or arrange for a transport spaceship too; both can be done together."

Liang Long said that placing the cross-border teleportation array on Lingjing Star is not a good idea. First, the area needed for the cross-border teleportation array is really too large, including those supporting facilities, they will probably waste tens of thousands of square kilometers. Secondly, there’s the issue of energy use, which will take away energy from Lingjing Star itself. So it’s best to arrange it elsewhere. With their current technology, a distance of tens of millions of kilometers is not a big deal, as they are considering distances over a hundred light-years away, and their units of distance are calculated in light-years.

"Arrange it."

Zhu Bin had nothing to say and simply ordered it to be arranged.

·········

The year 8250 in the Blue Star Xia calendar, Blue Star.

Shiyi returned from Lingjing Star with some people, traveling through the cross-border teleportation array. It only took three days, passing through well-coordinated transfer stations and crossing over a hundred light-years. This means that the Immortal Language is already ahead of technological civilization in interstellar exploration. After all, even with light-speed spaceships, they cannot compete with the cross-border teleportation array now.

Shiyi personally reported to Lin Jiang and others about their achievements on Lingjing Star over the past two hundred years. Afterwards, Lin Jiang held a banquet for Shiyi, honoring his contributions and arranging for him to give speeches everywhere so he could enjoy the respect of the world.

Three months later, Lin Jiang planned to take people to visit Lingjing Star, as it was the second colony star of Blue Star and very important.

Lin Jiang sent invitations to Li Qing and the Demon Queen, and they were very happy to go along, each bringing a large group of people. Since Lingjing Star was jointly owned by the three families, they also needed to take people to reap the benefits; they couldn’t just invest without a return.

This time Lin Jiang brought many people, including Lin Ying and Big Shadiao. They had also been in Blue Star for many years, so it was like taking them on a holiday to relax.

Upon receiving the news, Small Shadiao also rushed back from Jiang Star. He was tired of Jiang Star, and he couldn’t wait to explore a new planet.

"Brother…"

Small Shadiao saw Lin Jiang and gave him a big hug, feeling very excited.

"Good job, you’ve finally reached the seventh level. It was worth the many things I used."

Lin Jiang said that he has private businesses on Jiang Star, which are bigger than those on Huaxia. He does not know how many treasures there are. Small Shadiao has the highest authority over these businesses on Jiang Star. Basically, what Lin Jiang does is also for Small Shadiao.

For many years, all the expenses Small Shadiao had for dating and fun were paid by Lin Jiang. While enjoying himself, he was also able to advance, all thanks to Lin Jiang’s support.

"Brother, this was just luck, just luck."

"Knowing it was lucky but still playing around, let me tell you, Big Shadiao is about to reach the seventh level too. You better be ready to get beaten."

"Ah, is my sister going too?"

"Of course."

"Um, brother, can I change my appearance? Please don’t tell her I’m here."

Small Shadiao suddenly felt a bit scared. He cannot change the shadow of his life. Even after thousands of years, he still has to keep getting beaten by Big Shadiao. He needs to disguise himself.

"No way, don’t think about running off. Also, aren’t you going to say hi to the Demon Queen?"

"I’m not going. She is not a bird on the same path as me. She is the ancestor of the demon race. What does it matter if she sees me? I am the father of the ancestor of the demon race."

"It’s up to you. If one day you want to make up, I can help. There is nothing that can’t be overcome."

Lin Jiang said that Small Shadiao no longer acknowledges the Demon Queen, which is actually normal. There are many grievances between them. Small Shadiao has wronged the Demon Queen, and the Demon Queen has also tricked Small Shadiao before.

But that is not the main point. Just like Lin Jiang, didn’t he fight fiercely with the Demon Queen? In the end, they need to work together. As adults, they should think about benefits.

Just like in the past, after being beaten by the American dad, feeling miserable, now they still kneel and acknowledge him. There are benefits involved; it’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Traveling together, the Demon Queen naturally saw Small Shadiao, but Small Shadiao did not take the initiative to greet her, and the Demon Queen would not greet Small Shadiao first either.

Back then, she arranged for Muse to go to the Yunzhong Mountain Range in Huaxia to meet Small Shadiao, and their relationship completely broke apart. Now she collaborates with Lin Jiang, not because of Small Shadiao; his goodwill is not enough.

When Lin Jiang and the others set off, Shiyi had already returned for more than half a year. In that time, it was enough for each transfer station to build up energy, especially since they had received notice long ago, and the fusion power plant was operating at full capacity.

After about three days, Lin Jiang and the others reached Lingjing Star, landing in the Modern City of Central Continent. Li Qing and the Demon Queen had a welcome banquet hosted by Liang Long, then hurriedly went to inspect their own territories.

"Chief Liang’s skills have improved a bit more; when will he break through to the Transmigration Stage?"

Lin Jiang and Liang Long talked privately, and Lin Jiang said to Liang Long.

"No rush; advancing to the Tao Achieving stage too quickly isn’t good. I haven’t fully experienced the benefits of this level yet, so let’s accumulate for a while."

"That works, but you can’t go back to Blue Star for now; we still need you here."

"No problem. I once had a dream of being an interstellar pirate. I wonder if Ancestor Lin can help me fulfill this wish."

"Theoretically, it’s not possible."

Lin Jiang said, and Liang Long smiled. If it’s theoretically impossible, then it means it might just be possible, which shows that Lin Jiang is giving him some power.

Liang Long was very grateful for this. Many of his dreams couldn’t be achieved alone, and if Lin Jiang is willing to support him, then he doesn’t need to think of other ways.

Next, Liang Long and Lin Jiang discussed many things about Fa Kong. Fa Kong hadn’t fought with them, but Liang Long was very wary of him, often claiming that Fa Kong was stronger than Kong Yan was back then.

As for Fa Kong’s departure from Lingjing Star, Liang Long also sent spacecraft to try to track him, but it failed. Now it is certain that Fa Kong left in the direction of the northern part of Lingjing Star.

Over the past two hundred years, the spacecraft sent out by Liang Long has traveled several light-years. It can be confirmed that within twenty light-years, there are no planets with life. Finding the Buddhist world’s otherworld is a bit difficult, and Liang Long does not recommend doing so, because if another war happens, Blue Star may not have a chance to win.
