Cultivation: Being Immortal

Outside of Taibai Star

The battlefield of the Space Battleship is much larger than that of the cultivators; they will not fight at close range, nor will they dogfight like fighter jets. They engage in long-distance warfare.

Hundreds of thousands to millions of kilometers apart, both sides unleashed their firepower.

After half an hour of combat, the battlefield was in chaos, with Space Battleships destroyed everywhere, some still burning fiercely.

The side of Taibai Star had fewer numbers, but they were still very powerful. They relied on better performance and faster speed to move through space while dodging enemy fire.

On the side of the Buddhist gate, although their Space Battleships were not as good as the others, they had many, almost a ten-to-one ratio, giving a sense of hitting a skilled master with random punches.

On the flagship of Taibai Star, the commander looked at the situation in front of him, constantly changing tactics. This was his first real battle between Space Battleships, and he felt uncertain.

"The shield energy is at fifty percent…"

"The left cabin is damaged by twenty percent…"

The computer in the command center kept sounding alarms, but the commander seemed to ignore them and kept ordering to fire.

"The enemy’s left battle carrier exploded! Charge in, charge in, cut the enemy apart! Quickly, crush them!"

Soon, an enemy carrier over ten kilometers long exploded, sending escape pods flying everywhere. The commander suddenly shouted loudly.

In an instant, more than twenty warships accelerated and charged into the enemy group, cutting in like a straight line, with all their cannons opening fire and unleashing a storm of bullets.

"Electronic countermeasure missiles, launch electronic countermeasure missiles, take them down!"

The warships charging into the enemy group released three rounds of electronic countermeasure missiles. Pulsing electromagnetic flashes filled the sky like the storm clouds of Transmigration Stage, covering over a dozen warships. Those warships immediately went dark, which showed that their systems were disrupted—this situation is often called live targets on the battlefield.

In the midst of the battle, more warships from the Heavenly Court arrived one after another, making the situation for the Buddhist warships even more dangerous. This caused Hui Kong and others to look worried.

Thousands of these warships were built with all the effort of the Buddhist sect, even sacrificing many things, which led to suffering among the people and deep conflicts. The situation was only kept steady through the strong suppression of the Buddhist sect.

But if they are defeated this time, the suppressed anger will erupt all at once, and the Buddhist sect will face severe consequences. They hope to win; as long as they are victorious in the war, they can plunder resources from the Tai Bai Star to aid the Mahayana Star people, and everything will transition perfectly.

However, the outlook does not seem optimistic. The Buddhist warships outnumber the enemy ten to one, but the loss rate is frighteningly high, already exceeding ten to one.

"Is this the gap in technology?"

Ci’en thought to himself. In this battle, neither side had real combat experience. However, the morale of the Buddhist sect was higher because, just before the battle, they had transformed all the crew members, making them willing to sacrifice for the sect, and none had any objections. Still, they faced such high losses, which was difficult for Ci’en to understand. Besides the reason of technological gap, he could think of nothing else.

"Senior brother, we should also take action. The outcome of the Space Battleship battle is unpredictable, so let’s strike while they haven’t fully gathered their forces and overwhelm them."

"Alright, let’s move."

Hui Kong nodded. The Buddhist sect was acting more secretly; they had completed their gathering, while the Immortal Gate was much less efficient and had not yet finished their gathering.

"The Buddha’s faction has begun to act."

On Blue Star, a huge holographic projection appeared, and Lin Jiang and other high-ranking officials were watching the battle outside Tai Bai Star.

There are many perspectives on the battle: one from the Space Battleship, one from the satellites around Tai Bai Star, and another from the Blue Star team on Tai Bai Star, showing a clear view of the battlefield.

"Elder, the predictions from the artificial intelligence and the expert team have come out, and they all agree: both sides will suffer losses. The artificial intelligence predicts a narrow victory for the Buddha’s faction with an 87% probability, while the expert team predicts a narrow victory for the Heavenly Court with over a 70% probability."

Soon, someone entered with a report, not just for Lin Jiang and his team but also for other experts who were analyzing the situation.

"Are there any changes?"

"Not many changes. The total number of Space Battleships in the Tianbei Star Domain is 960, with 820 already present. They have lost 120, leaving just over 100. The other ships from their planets might not come, as their alliance is not very strong."

"I remember that Xuanque Star, Nanfeng Star, and Canglan Star each have at least three Space Battleships. How long will it take for them to reach the battlefield given their distance?"

"At least two days have passed. The teleportation array in the Tianbei Star Domain has been used multiple times in emergencies. It is currently being checked and maintained and will take about a day. Otherwise, there might be safety risks."

"It seems the Tianbei Star Domain can’t hold on much longer. I wonder when the order from the Heavenly Court will arrive."

Lin Jiang nodded. The Buddhist sect of the Tianbei Star Domain and the Heavenly Court are evenly matched, and both sides could end up badly hurt.

However, the key point of this battle is not in the Tianbei Star Domain, but in the Tianyuan Star Domain. This can be seen from the fact that no celestial beings are fighting on Taibai Star. It is likely that a battle has already begun over in the Tianyuan Star Domain.

"Should I go take a look at the Heavenly Court?"

"No, so you won’t be conscripted as a soldier. At this stage, we should not get involved."

Lin Jiang shook his head. The movement of power between the Star Domains in the Heavenly Court is not something that can be changed easily. If the Tiannan Star Domain helps the Tianbei Star Domain, it’s for some benefit. Without any benefit, who would fight to the death for you?"

Most of the activities in the Tiannan Star Domain are handled by Li Canghai. He will fight for benefits for the Tiannan Star Domain, and without benefits, no one can be commanded.

"Another battle of thousands of experts! How many dao auras will this take? Tsk, tsk."

Cao Ying sighed, looking at the dao auras in the projection with longing and feeling a desire to drool.

These are all dao auras; think about how many years it usually takes to obtain just one, and now there are hundreds appearing.

"Don’t be greedy; when we go to clean up the battlefield, you’ll get your fill this time."

Lin Jiang said that as long as nothing big changes in this battle, Blue Star will surely have a lot to gain, and everyone, including Cao Ying, will be well-fed.

"I hope so."

"Stop loafing around; record the data. This is precious real combat data. The technology path of the Buddhist sect will not be interrupted by this battle. We will face battleship fights in the future, so don’t underestimate it. I’m very disappointed with how it turned out…"

Lin Jiang said to those around him. The battleships of Taibai Star are clearly behind the technology of the Buddhist sect. According to his previous estimates, the loss rate should be at least one to twenty. However, it has only turned out to be about one to ten, which makes Lin Jiang quite dissatisfied.

Although Blue Star did not sell some advanced weapons to Taibai Star, that is still no excuse. Lin Jiang needs them to be more cautious.
