Canglan Star
"I did not receive the news that the Heavenly Court will have a big action soon."
Li Canghai said to Lin Jiang, who was also very shocked by Lin Jiang’s question, but he truly did not know that the Heavenly Court would act soon.
"Taoist Friend Li, these words were spoken by Chang Le himself."
"Could it be that they are trying to trick you? Chang Le is a difficult person, and it is possible that she would intentionally deceive you."
"Indeed, there is a possibility, but it is low. Right now is a crucial moment for me in negotiating with the Tianxing Star Domain. She would gain nothing from using tricks, even if she fooled me into signing a contract, I have a hundred ways to make her suffer. She should understand this possibility very well."
Lin Jiang said, even if they tricked him into signing a contract, so what? Couldn’t he find a way around it? Not at all, there are plenty of ways, and Chang Le should understand this matter.
"According to you, if what Chang Le says is true, then it would be news from the higher-ups of the Heavenly Court that most immortals do not know."
"So I came to ask Taoist Friend Li. You have many connections in the Heavenly Court, and your news is more informed than mine."
"I understand your meaning, but Taoist Friend Lin, I honestly have not received any news. This concerns very important matters of Tiannan and Tianbei, and there is no need for me to hide it from you."
"Then please, Taoist Friend Li, find out secretly how."
"Sure, I have a Soul Fragment that has been in the Heavenly Court for a long time. I will talk to other friends about this, but you must not let anyone else know."
"I understand the rules; I will tell no one else but you."
Lin Jiang nodded. This kind of thing should not be talked about too much; they even had to ask questions indirectly.
Lin Jiang said goodbye to Li Canghai and met Cao Ying. Cao Ying also went to the Heavenly Court to gather information. Over the years, the Blue Star camp has made many immortal friends.
"I feel like we have been tricked; there are no signs of a big battle at the Heavenly Court right now."
Cao Ying’s anger grew as she thought they had been fooled by Chang Le. Li Canghai hadn’t received any news, and she hadn’t found out anything either.
"I don’t think so; there must be something we don’t know."
"So what do we do now?"
"You continue to negotiate with the people from Tianxing Star Domain. Stick to your price and don’t back down at all. Show an attitude of wanting money more than life. I will arrange secret preparations for battle. If it comes to fighting, we are not afraid."
Lin Jiang said that no matter whether the news is true or false, they must be fully prepared to have a plan in place.
Chang Le Palace
The formation has been repaired. In Chang Le’s bedroom, there are no electronic devices. She also knows that electronic devices have many backdoors that can eavesdrop on things.
"Brother"
A figure shone brightly, and Chang Le happily called out.
"How did things go?"
Immortal Lord Chang Rong said that Chang Le’s trip to Mahayana Star was arranged by him.
"Not very smoothly. Lin Jiang won’t listen to me, and I have run out of ideas."
"Does Lin Jiang not even think highly of you?"
Lord Chang Rong was a bit surprised. Many matters were handled by Chang Le, and she never let him down. She was very skilled in using different methods, and few men could resist Chang Le’s charm.
Think about Chang Le’s status: a trusted aide of the Heavenly Emperor, the younger sister of an Immortal Lord, powerful, and beautiful. Many men have fallen for her; how many can withstand it?
"Not interested. I can tell at a glance if a man has any desire for me. Lin Jiang and I have met a few times; his eyes are very clear, and he has no feelings for me at all. He even refused to meet with me."
Chang Le said she had actually invited Lin Jiang many times, but every time she was unable to meet him. Even the negotiations were handled by Cao Ying. Of course, Chang Le didn’t know that her repeated invitations were directly blocked by Cao Ying, and the messages never reached Lin Jiang.
"He is a bit interesting; he is a strong figure."
Lord Chang Rong said that while beauty is a lowly tactic, there is no doubt that it is very effective. The saying that heroes can’t resist beautiful women is not a joke; throughout history, many heroes have fallen due to women’s influence.
"Brother, I think Lin Jiang is even more formidable than a strong figure. He truly has great vision and capability. The rise of Blue Star’s power is hard to resist."
"It seems you think very highly of him."
"Yes, I never deny this. I have collected information about Lin Jiang. From an ordinary practitioner to his current level of strength and status, not even ninety-nine percent of the immortals in the Heavenly Court can achieve that. Have you seen any practitioner who can defeat an immortal who rules a planet?"
"Indeed, I have never seen anyone like that. It’s very impressive, and I admire him."
Immortal Lord Chang Rong said that an immortal who rules a planet has a huge advantage over practitioners. Lin Jiang is the first in history to defeat an immortal while still being a practitioner. Just this honor alone is enough to make him famous all over the world.
"Brother, what does Heavenly Court mean right now? According to my negotiations with Lin Jiang, to introduce a complete industrial system, it may cost three to four hundred billion Premium Spirit Stones. Should we really give them that?"
Chang Le said she did not want to give it. Three to four hundred billion Premium Spirit Stones could cultivate several hundred Transmigration Stage practitioners. Even immortals can have many of those. She does not want to give up such benefits.
"Three to four hundred billion Premium Spirit Stones, hum, do they deserve that?"
Immortal Lord Chang Rong also sneered. His status is much higher than Lin Jiang’s. He believes that Lin Jiang is not worthy to do business with him on equal terms.
"Shall we just attack directly?"
"It’s not right to act directly. Have you passed the message to Lin Jiang?"
"Yes, they went to gather information. But they definitely won’t find anything. Brother, are we really going to scheme against Lin Jiang?"
"We will definitely have to plan, but we need to think about to what extent. The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect have fought many times, both sides have suffered losses, and they haven’t gained much. The high-ups in the Heavenly Court intend to avoid conflicts with the Buddhist sect and are preparing to take action against the Demon Domain and the demon race, but they haven’t decided how to attack yet."
Immortal Lord Chang Rong said that the Heavenly Court also intends to deal with the demon race first. They will surely need to draw troops from the north and Tiannan, but he hasn’t figured out how to trick Lin Jiang.
"Brother, you coordinate in the Heavenly Court, and I will talk to Lin Jiang again. If he still refuses to give in, then we cannot be blamed for being harsh."
After thinking for a while, Chang Le said that her purpose for coming to Mahayana Star was to obtain technology from Blue Star, but how to get it is important.
They are unwilling to suffer huge losses like those planets such as Canglan Star, and they do not want to be controlled by Blue Star. They truly look down on Lin Jiang, a fairy without a background, and cannot possibly engage in equal exchanges or cooperation.
What Chang Le wants is to take what they have or for Lin Jiang to voluntarily offer them benefits. Simply put, they are interested in the advantages of technological civilization, but do not want to pay for it.
"No, you continue to talk to him. There’s no rush."
"Brother, why have you changed your mind?"
"Chang Le, be careful how you eat. Everyone knows you are helping me, so this has to be done perfectly without giving anyone a reason to complain."
"I know, brother, but Lin Jiang is hard to persuade. There’s no way I can really give him three hundred billion Premium Spirit Stones. That would cost so much it would empty our family’s savings."
Chang Le was heartbroken. Each spirit vein produces a limited number of Premium Spirit Stones, and they are very rare. Three hundred billion Premium Spirit Stones would truly empty the treasures of the Tianxing Star Domain. Of course, she knew she didn’t have to give all Premium Spirit Stones; lower-quality ones would be fine too, but it was still such a large amount, and she just couldn’t bear to part with it.
"I know what I’m doing. If I can help you and Lin Jiang come together, it will be much easier."
"Brother, you can’t really be interested in Lin Jiang, right? I won’t marry him!"
"Can’t you see the bigger picture about marriages and funeral matters?"
"No, brother, I..."
"It’s decided then. I will find a way to deal with Cao Ying, and you need to find a way to win over Lin Jiang and marry him. Once that is done, Blue Star and Mahayana Star will be yours, along with all the achievements of our technological civilization. Once everything is complete, I will recommend you to the Heavenly Emperor, so you can become a true Immortal Lord."
"Additionally, I have some news for you. In the future, the organization of the Heavenly Court will surely change. It will no longer be the loose structure that it is now. Each Star Domain will have an Immortal Lord in charge, truly one person above all, with a position of immense respect."
The words of Immortal Lord Chang Rong echoed in Chang Le’s mind. She began to imagine herself achieving great deeds and leading a Star Domain, even though it wasn’t the Tianxing Star Domain, it would still be an incredible honor. This was a treatment fit for an empress!
