Chapter 995: Interests Are the Most Important

Lin Jiang really did not pay much attention to the emotional issues of the immortals because, in his mind, immortals were high above. Even before his Transmigration, they were the elites of a planet. Regardless of gender, it should be easy for them to find a partner.

As Li Qing and Lin Ying were pursued by other immortals, Lin Jiang began to take this matter seriously and patiently sought to understand the situation within the Heavenly Court.

Upon learning more, he discovered that there were quite a few problems. The world of adults is not so simple; everywhere there are issues of interest. For immortals or high-priced cultivators, finding a partner with much lower cultivation is often not true love, but rather more about desires.

Only partners of equal status, who are evenly matched, involve issues of interest; simply put, it leads to marriage alliances.

Taking Lin Jiang and Cao Ying as an example, their union looks like a perfect marriage from an outsider’s perspective. It represents the combined interests of two planets, two very powerful planets. The cultivators born from Mahayana Star and Blue Star (those above Tao Achieving) number between five and six hundred, and that number is rapidly increasing. This guarantees the strength of the immortals.

Additionally, with their family and friends, as well as their students and followers, they could gather at least ten more immortals around them. It can be said that as long as Lin Jiang and Cao Ying do not fall out, the Blue Star faction would be very solid.

Because of Lin Jiang’s uniqueness, many immortals know him. Even if Lin Jiang had not transmigrated to become an immortal, he is still a powerful leader of the Blue Star faction. So no one tried to undermine him; otherwise, during the time before his transmigration, other immortals would have already taken action against him.

"Cultivators are resources, and immortals are also resources. Although there are quite a few immortals in the Heavenly Court, female immortals are rare. Each female immortal is a treasure. We must protect our female immortals in the Blue Star faction. We cannot let anyone take advantage of them. They should either marry into other families or not engage in relationships outside our faction."

Lin Jiang said to Cao Ying, "Right now, there are not many female immortals in the Blue Star faction. Among my old friends, besides Cao Ying, Li Qing, Demon Queen, and Lin Ying, the rest are all men. Of course, Big Shadiao hasn’t become an immortal yet, so it’s just the five of us."

However, the Blue Star faction has many women at the Tao Achieving and Transmigration Stage. Lin Jiang specifically counted, and there are about fifty of them, which is slightly more than in other planets. Based on the successful transmigration rate of Blue Star, there will at least be more than thirty female immortals in the future.

"This is indeed a problem. The number of female immortals in Blue Star will only increase. I hope there won’t be any love-struck female immortals; otherwise, we will be in a difficult position. There are quite a few immortals watching our Blue Star."

"So, I need you to pay more attention to this issue. Our female immortals cannot be deceived. We should keep things internal. Otherwise, we might have to raise them to have strong, independent characters and consider marrying them off instead."

"Really? What about me? Do I count as marrying into a family or do you consider it as marrying me?"

"Ahem. We are discussing important matters, understand?"

"Aren’t I discussing important matters? Our Zhonghang Sect now has five immortals!"

"You, fine, fine, fine, you can do whatever you like."

Lin Jiang was at a loss for words; wasn’t this just changing the subject? Did they know how to talk about things?

"I’m not joking with you anymore; we need to talk about the Demon Queen. The Demon Immortal is at the bottom of the disdain chain in the Heavenly Court, while the Demon Queen is quite special. We have given her enough respect, but the Heavenly Court hasn’t. Right now, we haven’t made contact with the Demon Domain, but once we do, I think the Demon Queen could be very dangerous."

Cao Ying put away her smile and said, "There aren’t many Demon Immortals in the Heavenly Court; they probably know only a few dozen. They are generally in a subordinate relationship with other immortals, having once been the beast pets of some immortal or a great sect."

After they ascended, they also relied on some immortal or group of immortals, being at the bottom of the disdain chain in the Heavenly Court. To put it simply, they don’t hold much status; they are the kind of minor soldiers.

Only the Demon Queen and the recently ascended Shenwu Demon Emperor are a bit special because they have their own territory and tribes. Lin Jiang and the others also hold great respect for the Demon Queen.

However, their respect cannot change the larger environment, which is quite serious. Once the Demon Queen contacts the Demon Domain, she may not be willing to endure humiliation any longer, and could betray the Heavenly Court. At that time, the Blue Star immortals would be very passive.

"I will handle the matter of the Demon Queen; I believe she knows how to choose."

Lin Jiang said, "The Demon Queen is not an ordinary person. She is even skilled in technology and civilization, especially since she knows the secret of weapons of rules. Although these weapons cannot be mass-produced, it is not a problem to produce one or two in a hundred years. Once used on the battlefield, it could be a fatal blow for ordinary immortals. The Demon Queen may not know how many rule weapons Lin Jiang has produced. If a large-scale conflict occurs with the Demon Domain, the Demon Queen will know who can win."

"I hope so, but it’s quite strange that no male fairy is pursuing the Demon Queen; the discrimination against her is very obvious."

Cao Ying shook her head. At least seven or eight male fairies are chasing Lin Ying and Li Qing; they are quite popular. But the Demon Queen has no male fairy pursuing her at all. This discrimination is very clear.

"I think the Demon Queen is not that narrow-minded. Besides, she is a widow, so other male fairies might respect her."

"How credible do you think this is?"

"Um…"

"Alright, I won’t argue with you. Go say hello to Li Canghai. For now, let’s keep a low profile. Let’s talk about these matters with him since he is the leader, and after all, he is from the Tiannan Star Domain."

"Okay, I’ll find a time to chat."

Lin Jiang nodded. Although the number of fairies in the Blue Star faction has grown to twenty-one, the Blue Star has no intention of becoming independent. The fairies of the Tiannan Star Domain still need to unite, and Li Canghai is the strongest in terms of power. The important matters of the Tiannan Star Domain are led by Li Canghai.

······

Canglan Star

As the first planet to contact Blue Star, Canglan Star is now filled with a sense of science fiction, with many modern big cities. There are millions of students from Canglan Star studying on Blue Star.

"Why is Daoist Friend Lin here?"

Li Canghai stepped out of the gaming pod and smiled at Lin Jiang.

Li Canghai is a number one fan of several interstellar games published by Blue Star. No one knows why this old monster, who has lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years, would have such a hobby. Lin Jiang has helped him cheat in several games, and Li Canghai also bought a very advanced gaming pod that is not available in stores.

"I just came to see you; I heard that people found out about you cheating and have been criticizing you online for decades?"

"Ahem, this is my fault, it’s my fault."

Li Canghai’s face turned red. When team battles couldn’t go well, others cheated, and he was discovered. He felt it was normal to be scolded, but luckily, his true identity was not revealed, allowing him to save some face.

"Next time, spend some money in the game; don’t ask me for shortcuts. You know, for games, free players are just the fun for you paying players."

"Taoist Friend Lin didn’t come to chat with me about games, right? Then I won’t be sleepy!"

"Not really, there are no major issues in Heavenly Court, but there are still many small matters. You must know about my sister’s situation, right?"

"I’ve heard, a single female immortal is very desirable. Has someone from Canglan Star been bothering your sister?"

"One of them is from Canglan Star. My sister doesn’t want to get married; she isn’t interested in that."

Lin Jiang nodded; it wasn’t just the immortals from Tianyuan Star Domain who pursued Lin Ying. Their intentions were too obvious, and many people would be cautious.

"I will keep him in check. As cultivators, we prioritize our training. Romance is too trivial, isn’t it?"

"Yes, Taoist Friend Li understands. Thank you, Lin Jiang."

Lin Jiang nodded; you, a gamer, only know how to play games, so of course, you don’t care about love.

"No need to be polite. We are allies now, and in Heavenly Court, I hope Taoist Friend Lin can support us more."

"That is natural, Blue Star is led by Taoist Friend Li."

Lin Jiang said lightly, he also knew Li Canghai had great ambitions. The few Immortal Lords of the Heavenly Court were all trusted by the Heavenly Emperor, and he was already quite unhappy because matters like the Star Domain war required even him to listen to the Immortal Lords, with no room for negotiation. This meant they had no real power to decide.

This naturally led Li Canghai to unite the immortals from the Tiannan Star Domain, after all, there was a sense of hometown connection.
