Chapter 961

Year 10,300 in the Blue Star Xia Calendar, Mahayana Star

Lin Jiang was Transmigrating on Mahayana Star

The entire journey was calm and smooth; no one thought Lin Jiang would fail.

In terms of experience, Lin Jiang had been in the Transmigration Stage for over two thousand years; in terms of treasures, few in the Tiannan Star Domain could compare; in terms of strength, Lin Jiang had already defeated top masters.

Under these circumstances, who would still think he would fail?

Lin Jiang himself did not think he would fail, so throughout the Transmigration Stage, he remained completely confident, even easily overcoming the final trial.

After that came the reward from the heavens, with sweet rain falling, which Lin Jiang absorbed entirely, and then a fragment of his soul took over Mahayana Star.

"Now that you have become an immortal, we can talk about important matters. The sweet rain from the journey is a unique heavenly energy that can transform your body into an immortal body. Before the transformation, you are in the Mahayana Stage, but once completed, you will be a true immortal."

"Having an immortal body has many benefits, such as understanding the power of the rules, using the power of the rules, and it is also hard to die. Common physical injuries do not matter to you, because you can recover quickly."

"The most important point is that you can enter the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court is not in any Star Domain; it is a higher dimension of existence."

"Wait, is that confirmed?"

Lin Jiang listened to Cao Ying speak, and when she mentioned a higher dimension, he interrupted her.

"It has basically been confirmed. You will see for yourself when you go to the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court travels between various Star Domains quickly, as if it has broken the limits of space."

"If you say that, I am very interested; I must go to the Heavenly Court."

"Yes, we still need to go. The Heavenly Court is filled with immortal energy, which is beneficial for our cultivation."

Cao Ying said that using immortal energy for cultivation is the true path for immortals, but very few immortals do this now because improving their levels through cultivation is too difficult, while using dao auras is much faster.

"Then we definitely need to go."

"Don’t rush to the Heavenly Court. For now, transform your body and then gather the Dao. The Dao is a sign of the immortals’ strength, just like the roads outside, where both width and length are important. After you gather the Dao, you can absorb the dao auras I left for you, and then go to the Heavenly Court."

Cao Ying said that they had no experience before, and all these things were discovered by Cao Ying little by little. Now, Lin Jiang can avoid many mistakes.

·······

Ten years later, in the year 10,310 of the Blue Star Xia calendar.

Lin Jiang displayed his Dao completely, transforming it outside. It was a long and wide Dao that could not be measured by specific lengths, only the immortals could sense it.

"Very good, your Dao is excellent, much stronger than an average immortal. If we had to measure it with data, an average immortal’s initial Dao is about ten meters wide and ten meters long. Your Dao is thirteen or fourteen meters wide and about eleven or twelve meters long. An average immortal cannot compete with you."

"I swallowed a piece of dao auras, and those dao auras turned into mist, floating above my Dao. I feel I can refine them."

"That’s right, dao auras are used like this. After refining them, you can enhance your great Dao, making it wider or longer. Just look at mine, and you’ll understand."

Cao Ying said, and then she also showed her Dao. Cao Ying’s Dao was twice as wide and three or four times as long as Lin Jiang’s, making him very envious.

"We cannot always seek width. The width of the great path is like our foundation. A strong foundation is certainly good, but if it is too wide, it is not right. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. It is the same as before; being invincible at the same level only matters if you stand at the very top. Otherwise, if someone from a different level fights you, it won’t help, even if you are deemed invincible."

Lin Jiang said, a cultivator who is invincible at the Qi Refining Stage might be equal to a cultivator at the early Building Foundation Stage, but they cannot defeat a cultivator at the late Building Foundation Stage. This requires the cultivator to find a balance.

"As long as you understand, quickly absorb the remaining dao auras, and then we will go to Heavenly Court together."

Cao Ying said, at this level, many things become clear with just a hint, no need for a lot of words.

Three months later, Lin Jiang was ready and flew to the Heavenly Court with Cao Ying. Lin Jiang did not go with just his physical body, but used a piece of Soul Fragment.

The place of the Heavenly Court was still the same splendid building, while other areas were dark, and the outer space looked no different, which left Lin Jiang feeling amazed.

"This is indeed not any Star Domain but another dimension. I sensed Blue Star; Mahayana Star is thousands of light years away from Blue Star, but I have a feeling that once I leave Heavenly Court, I can go directly to Blue Star."

After entering the Heavenly Court, Lin Jiang said to Cao Ying, "You were right before; this is indeed not another Star Domain, but a higher dimension."

"Hmm, so the Ling Star of the Buddha world is actually not in other Star Domains, but in another place. I don’t know exactly where, and the immortals and true Buddhas hardly fight in this dimension; they all go to a certain Star Domain to battle."

"By this reasoning, the demon race and the demon race are probably the same, right?"

"Pretty much, but I don’t understand the details. I’m still a newcomer in the Heavenly Court."

Cao Ying nodded; she had only been an immortal for a few years. A few hundred or a few thousand years is very short for an immortal.

Lin Jiang went to the Heavenly Court palace to meet the Heavenly Emperor. Lin Jiang still could not see the Heavenly Emperor’s face clearly. The Heavenly Emperor did not show any special response to Lin Jiang; like Cao Ying, he offered a few comforting words and then bestowed celestial treasures and techniques, and established the rules for offerings with Lin Jiang.

The offerings from immortals are different, based on their territory. Since Lin Jiang occupied Mahayana Star, the requirements for offerings are higher; he must offer a share of dao auras every five hundred years. If one does not hold a planet, no offerings are required.

Lin Jiang also learned that the time conversion in the Heavenly Court is different from that of Mahayana Star; in Blue Star time, it is seven hundred fifty years, while in Mahayana Star, it is less than two hundred years, because a day in Mahayana Star is one hundred hours, exactly four times that of Blue Star.

"This offering requirement is a bit high."

"That’s very normal; the heavenly rules are the same."

"Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Offering one portion for over seven hundred years is not a big deal."

Lin Jiang didn’t think much of it. It’s just a portion of dao auras, and when the time comes, he could easily slay a Buddhist arhat to obtain it. It’s a simple task.

After that, Lin Jiang went to visit Li Canghai. Li Canghai is still the leader of the Tiannan Star Domain, so proper etiquette must be observed.

"Congratulations, Taoist Friend Lin, on becoming the one hundred thirty-eighth immortal of our Tiannan Star Domain. Soon, there will be one hundred thirty-nine, and that’s Ming’an, someone you are familiar with."

"Taoist Friend Li, does the Tiannan Star Domain only have a little over a hundred immortals across more than a dozen planets?"

"Yes, but that’s not all."

"What do you mean?"

"The Tiannan Star Domain once had Buddhist power, and our Heavenly Court’s share is not large. However, many planets have a long history. For example, on my Canglan Star, there have been at least two hundred immortals over time. But immortals can also die or choose not to recognize us anymore."

"Is that true?"

Lin Jiang was surprised. He knew that the fairies could be injured or even die. After all, during the fight over the unknown planet before, about twenty to thirty fairies had died. But how could they not recognize each other now?

"Ahem, my friend Lin, you will understand more as time goes on."

Li Canghai didn’t want to say much more. The reason they no longer recognized the Tiannan Star Domain was that they had found stronger support. Since these people refused to acknowledge it, Li Canghai didn’t care to deal with them.

Lin Jiang quickly understood and did not ask more questions. Then, Li Canghai introduced many fairies to Lin Jiang, who were from various planets in the Tiannan Star Domain. However, it wasn’t complicated to classify them carefully, as true fairies had not been born on the five planets: Lingqing Star, Lingfa Star, Lingkong Star, Lingjing Star, and Lingshui Star. If there were any, they would likely be true Buddhas and might not appear for hundreds or thousands of years.

Even if there were, classification was necessary. For example, Ming’an, who was Li Canghai’s grand-disciple, would naturally be part of Li Canghai’s group, even if he became a fairy.

The fairies that Li Canghai mentioned who did not recognize them were in this situation; they came from smaller factions on a certain planet. After arriving, they lacked support. Even after they ascended, their sects might weaken, and no one else would ascend. They would be alone and, of course, need to find support. And when it comes to who has the strongest backing in the Heavenly Court, there is no need to say more.

"I don’t know how many fairies are in the Heavenly Court, but I don’t know many. I would say there are about six or seven hundred."

When Lin Jiang asked how many fairies were in the Heavenly Court, Li Canghai simply shook his head. He really didn’t know. Many fairies in the Heavenly Court hid very well and rarely showed themselves. Furthermore, with six Star Domains, he had no connections before, so he didn’t know many of them. Knowing six or seven hundred was already considered quite extensive, as many fairies ascended thousands of years ago and hardly knew a hundred fairies.
