Lingjing Star, Central Continent
Mingan met with Li Canghai once. This time, Mingan made a comprehensive analysis of the things on Lingjing Star and praised Lingjing Star very much.
In Mingan's view, Lingjing Star has very strong potential for two reasons. First, the combination of science and technology and cultivation makes the resources needed by the cultivation civilization, except for the non-renewable resources of minerals, ten times or a hundred times stronger than ordinary cultivation civilization.
Although these resources are basic resources, they are still extremely important. No matter how powerful the masters are, they also started to practice from low-level cultivation. Sufficient cultivation resources can give more opportunities to cultivators, so that some cultivators with decent qualifications will not be eliminated at the low-level stage.
The second is the education system and organizational system of Lingjing Star. Lingjing Star, like Blue Star, has an open government to coordinate everything, but there is no sectarianism. There is a universal education system, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and continuous selection, which can discover talents as much as possible.
With these two systems, it is enough to see that the strength of Lingjing Star is inevitable. It only takes time for Lingjing Star to become even stronger.
"Ming An, according to what you said, the Blue Star behind Lingjing Star will be more powerful?"
"It has been basically confirmed. I heard them say that Blue Star is slightly smaller than Lingjing Star, but it has a population of 40 to 50 billion, and several billion immortal cultivators. Master, tell me, with several billion immortal cultivators, how many masters can be born?"
"40 to 50 billion people, this is impossible. Our Canglan Star is a hundred times larger than Lingjing Star, but it only has a population of 100 billion."
Li Canghai exclaimed. How could such a small world have a population of 40 to 50 billion? Canglan Star is a hundred times larger than Lingjing Star, and it only has a population of 100 billion.
"Master, you don't know how powerful their technology is. Not to mention the output of grain in the ground, they can turn the air into food, and no matter how many people there are, they will not starve to death."
Ming An said. When he knew that the technology of Blue Star could turn air into starch, something that mortals can eat, he was stunned.
What kind of magical power is this special brew? He has never heard of it. Even if his master has become an immortal, he does not have this magical power.
"Ming An, what do you think, if we incorporate Blue Star into the Heavenly Court system and then introduce those technologies, how much benefit will it bring to us?"
"Master, if our Canglan Star gets this kind of technology, why would we be afraid of the Buddhist monks on Lingfa Star? When the people of our Canglan Star can eat and drink enough, how many mortals will still believe in the Buddhist monks' nonsense?"
Ming An said, the Buddhist practice is very powerful, and the Buddhist theory is also very powerful. The poorer the place, the more violent the Buddhist law can be. It can't be killed, and those poor mortals just believe in them.
So far, Ming An knows that Buddhism suffers a loss in theory for the first time, and Blue Star's theory is also unique.
"I understand, I will talk to Xia Qingshan"
Li Canghai nodded. Since the potential of Lingjing Star is so huge, the Heavenly Court must not sit idly by. If Lingjing Star is defeated and these technologies fall into the hands of Buddhism, it will be their disaster.
··········
Li Canghai met Xia Qingshan again, and this time he showed his cards directly.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, I won't beat around the bush today. I sincerely invite you to join my Heavenly Court."
"Fellow Daoist Li, joining Heavenly Court is not something you can just say. There must be a reason."
"Fellow Daoist Xia, let me directly tell you the conditions of Heavenly Court. There are many benefits to joining Heavenly Court. First, the world under your command will become a subsidiary of Heavenly Court, but Heavenly Court will not discipline you. You still have the final say. However, if you are attacked, Heavenly Court will stand up for you and protect you. At the same time, Heavenly Court will grant you an official position, and Heavenly Court will grant you immortal tools and immortal methods..."
Li Canghai talked about the benefits of joining Heavenly Court. Just the protection of Heavenly Court is already very important. With the protection of Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect dare not invade easily. Li Canghai also knew that Xia Qingshan was a casual cultivator and probably knew very little about what happened after becoming an immortal, let alone immortal tools and immortal methods.
"What should I do?"
Xia Qingshan was very calm and was not excited by what Li Canghai said.
"First, obey the orders of Heaven. Heaven can protect you, and you must also protect others. If other forces attack our territory, you must send troops to help, including doing it yourself. Second, every ten thousand years, you must hand over ten complete spiritual rhymes to Heaven, regardless of where they came from. Third..."
Li Canghai continued to say that joining the Heavenly Court was actually equivalent to a bandit being recruited by the imperial court. It was nothing more than providing military force and resources.
Xia Qingshan hesitated. This condition was quite standard, but handing over his spiritual energy to the Heavenly Court made him a little unhappy. His spiritual energy was the key to his advancement. With the current situation of the three planets, they were quite young. Ten thousand years later, this group of Hedao would probably not die of old age. What would he do then? Force him to go out and plunder?
"Fellow Daoist Xia..."
"Let me think about it."
"Fellow Daoist Xia, I might as well tell you straight, we from Canglan Star have an undercover agent on Lingfa Star. The Great Bodhisattva Fakong from Lingfa Star was bewitched by you. After returning to Lingfa Star, he said some evil words to confuse the people, which had a great impact on Lingfa Star. Now Fakong has been imprisoned, and Lingfa Star is also preparing to invade you. Without the help of my Heavenly Court, you will never be a match for Lingfa Star."
"Fellow Daoist Li, you underestimate us too much."
"Fellow Daoist Xia, I know you are very strong, but Lingfa Star is a world about the same size as my Canglan Star. The True Buddha of Lingfa Star is extremely powerful. He used to be a five-star True Buddha. Although you have snatched one of them away, he still has the foundation of four planets. You are no match for him,"
said Li Canghai. Three-star immortals and five-star True Buddhas are very important data for measuring strength among immortals. The more planets under one's command, the more spiritual rhyme can be swallowed, and the stronger the strength.
Of course, this is under normal circumstances. For specifics, we need to refer to a lot of data, such as the size of the planet, whether the resources are rich or poor, the length of time occupied, etc.
Li Canghai didn't know how long Xia Qingshan, the three-star immortal, had lasted, but the True Buddha of Lingfa Star was already stronger than him, and probably stronger than Xia Qingshan.
"No one knows unless we touch him. Okay, I'll get back to you after I think about it."
Xia Qingshan said it didn't matter. He had dealt with the Buddhist cultivator before, but that was all. He was no longer the Xia Qingshan of the past. He was now many times stronger than before.
Xia Qingshan disappeared directly and then appeared in front of Lin Jiang.
"Li Canghai is showing his cards."
"It seems it's hard to hide it from you."
"It's not a big surprise. I showed Ming'an my technological strength just to increase your bargaining chips. So, what do you think? What conditions did Heaven offer?"
"The same thing as a casual cultivator joining a sect. Heaven will recruit me, give me protection, magic, and magic tools, but they want me to fight for Heaven and provide spiritual energy. Ten times for ten thousand years, no matter where it comes from."
"Tsk tsk, these conditions are not very good,"
Lin Jiang said. It is obvious that Heaven has taken advantage of these conditions. The magic tools and magic tools they gave were not very good, they must be cheap. And protection is not a very good condition. On the contrary, spiritual energy is not a low requirement. Ten times for ten thousand years means that one spiritual energy must be handed over every thousand years. This is not something that can be done casually.
"It's not that good, so I said I'll think about it."
"You want to refuse, right?"
"No, I don't want to refuse, but I want better conditions. Li Canghai told me that Fakong's Lingfa Star is going to attack us. Lingfa Star is also the superior of Lingjing Star."
"So your idea is that we win this war and then negotiate with the Heavenly Court?"
"Of course, why not?"
"Then have you ever thought about it, if we fight with Buddhists, both sides will suffer, then will Canglan Star still show kindness? Why not take advantage of your illness to kill you?"
"This..."
Xia Qingshan's face changed. He thought about this problem. He thought it shouldn't be like this, but he didn't dare to guarantee it.
"What do you mean, Lin Jiang, we are in the same boat. If I die, you will all die. You also know what will happen to Lingjing Star."
Xia Qingshan said immediately. If he died, ordinary people on Blue Star might have a chance to escape, but high-level people like Lin Jiang would definitely die.
"It's nothing, don't panic, we will fight back if enemies come, we will block them if water comes,"
Lin Jiang said with a smile. He was very happy for the emergence of a force to restrain Xia Qingshan, so he naturally wanted to understand it clearly first. What if there was a chance to get rid of Xia Qingshan completely?
