Chapter 459: Chapter 370 Augustus
Red Dragon Star.
This planet was named after the Red Dragon Catering Group, which purchased its naming rights and has been using it as its headquarters.
Across the planet, there were natural ingredient cultivation centers, with completely free-range breeding of various rare and exotic beasts.
At the center of the planet, atop a gigantic skyscraper.
Inside the chairman’s office.
"Grandfather!"
A middle-aged man bowed deeply to an elderly man with white hair.
To appear so aged in the Interstellar Federation where gene surgery was commonplace, he must have lived for several hundred years with a low professional rank, having tried all kinds of external methods to extend his lifespan.
The elder’s figure was tall and imposing, authoritative without anger, resembling a white gold lion, "Xu Mojie, manager Xu, address me by my post when at work!"
"Yes, Chairman!"
Xu Mojie quickly bowed his head.
"Blue Star University has responded. It seems your adopted son, my adopted great-grandson, does not recognize me..."
Old Xu didn’t mind, "But that’s just how bio-engineered humans are. They have no legal obligation to support anyone... It’s a pity, though. With just a word from him, the group could experience tremendous growth, and that issue could be resolved immediately."
"Yes... Whatever the company needs me to do, please give your orders, Chairman."
Xu Mojie was very submissive.
To outsiders, he might control an inter-system company, holding a high position of power and being a true elite of high society.
But in front of the chairman, he was still a grandson.
"That’s good... You go to the group’s biological laboratory and partake in several more sperm donation tasks..."
Old Xu waved his hand, "You’re only useful for this now. It’d be best to again pay a high price to purchase the eggs from the woman who donated them years ago... It’s a shame, whether it’s re-cultivation or cloning, it’s not likely to produce a Ten Realms Battle Power again... But, even if the hope is slim, it’s worth a try."
"Yes, I’ll go immediately."
Xu Mojie bowed his head, a hint of humiliation flickering in his eyes.
Back in his youth, he made a lot of pocket money from the Federation’s donation tasks.
But now, he was no longer young. With hundreds of legal spouses and children, continuing to do this tasted a bit off...
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed.
"Golden autumn in September, it’s an honor to see all the new students come to our Blue Star University. I wish you all a bright future..."
Fang Xing finished the speech in his hand to a bunch of fresh-faced new college students below and immediately stepped down from the podium.
"Don’t look for me for these kinds of events in the future, go to Deputy Chancellor Nie Ying..."
He casually tossed the speech to Vijali and instructed her.
As the chancellor of Blue Star University, his authority might not be as high as the nine top governors of the Federation, but his influence was also not small.
Not to mention, just the corporate entities of Blue Star University alone accounted for a corporate oligarchy within the Federation.
If you added the influence of their distinguished alumni, it was a massive force!
As chancellor of Blue Star, Fang Xing’s actual power was significant.
From approving research funding for various professors to counseling for the Federation, to awarding outstanding university students, and even sorting the distribution and sequence of "Divinity Transformation Serum", as long as Fang Xing wanted to intervene, he basically could.
However, he didn’t have much interest in that.
The only exception was that he gave another reward to the Simplified Tathagata Divine Palm project team and promoted Mentor Gu’s administrative level as thanks for his past freeloading.
Also, for Pan Xiong, he sent people to visit and solve difficulties.
But, after handling the authority for a little while, Fang Xing grew tired of it.
"Indeed... My passion is still Martial Arts, pursuing my own strength."
He returned to his villa and resumed his cultivation.
The Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm’s proficiency would keep increasing as long as it was practiced frequently.
What Fang Xing put more effort into now was the "Star Palace Scroll"!
The process of absorbing Cosmic Source Power was equally captivating to him.
"Now my comprehension of the Fire Law matches that of a Planet Level high-hand of the Star Lord Realm, but this doesn’t serve much purpose."
"The higher the comprehension of Law, the better..."
"Moreover, there is a hierarchy among the various Laws, and Space is undoubtedly one of the superior Laws!"
"Once my Cultivation Avatar undergoes Divinity Transformation and cultivates the Void Refining Inheritance Cultivation Technique, I should be able to master a trace of Void Power, thereby gaining entry to the Space Law!"
"Even... after Void Refining in the future, I’ll be able to truly comprehend the Dao. Even just a sliver of the Power of Dao would make many Law Masters green with envy..."
Law Masters might find it difficult to ascend to the Tao Master Realm and might never have the chance to deeply comprehend the Power of Dao.
To Fang Xing, however, this was rather straightforward.
"At present... Whether it’s the Immortal Path or the Source Power System, both have vast prospects..."
"But... succeeding from the many Cultivation Techniques of Blue Star’s Martial Gods and creating an unprecedented Martial Path seems even more interesting!"
"I’ll give it a try first. If it doesn’t work out, there are still other paths."
Fang Xing made his decision.
Martial Arts! It has almost seeped into his marrow, united with his will, inseparable.
"Master... You have an invitation to an evening party."
At that moment, the sweet voice of Xiao Lan sounded.
"To make my secretary and smart assistant directly give clearance, it must be quite significant... Looks like it’s time to mix and network again. Who is it?"
Fang Xing opened his eyes and asked casually.
"The invitation comes from the Augustus Family... The Augustus Family is one of the great aristocracies of ancient Blue Star, which rapidly transformed with the advent of the interstellar era, producing several great adventurers; Uwe August, one of the nine governors of the Federation, hails from the Augustus Family."
"Governor Uwe? That would be someone worth meeting... I’ll ask Miss Nangong Xue to be my companion," Fang Xing said to Xiao Lan.
As for arranging the itinerary, attire, and a dedicated spaceship, Xiao Lan would naturally handle everything well.
"I’ve long heard of the extravagant banquets on Blue Star; it’s about time I experienced one..." Fang Xing was somewhat looking forward to it.
...
Several days later.
In an ancient manor surrounded by mountains and rivers on Blue Star, the singing was booming.
Singers, sculptors, painters, and performers, some of the finest artists from the Federation, gathered in droves, each giving their best performance.
Fang Xing was in formal attire, with Nangong Xue on his arm.
Nangong Xue was wearing an evening gown, low-cut and backless, revealing a swan-like neck.
She was elaborately dressed.
But it was in vain, as there were many women at the banquet more beautiful than she.
Fang Xing even saw several of the most popular actresses in the interstellar era now serving drinks at the banquet.
"Respected guests, please!"
A middle-aged man with wine-red hair approached them.
His voice was loud, and his features were as firm as marble, making him appear a straightforward and powerful gentleman at first glance.
"I am Salin Augustus. You must be the new principal of Blue Star University, right?" Salin Augustus was very sociable.
Fang Xing responded casually and asked curiously, "Has Governor Uwe arrived?"
Uwe Augustus!
He was the pride of countless Augustus members, an ’Ultimate Superpower User’ of the Tenth Realm, the most powerful among the Augustus bloodline talents.
"I apologize... my elder brother is preoccupied with important matters and has not come," Salin Augustus said with regret.
"I see..."
Fang Xing immediately lost interest.
This so-called gathering of notables had few strong men to count on one hand.
Most were merely at the Ninth Realm, creatures he could easily slap to death.
After realizing this, Fang Xing’s interest waned, and he prepared to amuse himself briefly before departing.
Just then, he paused, his expression showing intrigue.
Nangong Xue looked to see a painting that was more than halfway completed.
Upon it, a flame was burning fiercely!
What was even more amazing was that, despite being only a painting, one could feel the heat of the flames while standing in front of it!
"The Fire Profound Mystery?!" Nangong Xue was taken aback.
As Fang Xing’s good friend and having spent so many years with him, she of course knew about the ’Fire Profound Mystery’ Fang Xing had created!
Although Fang Xing now claimed his inspiration had dried up and he had hit a bottleneck in law creation.
But the few Profound Mysteries he had previously created were enough to drive the Federation mad, with many scientists embarking on new projects believing they had found new directions for research.
"I’ve contemplated the Profound Mysteries created by Councilor Fang Xing... Compared to those actual artifacts that record laws, a mere painting is just the surface... nothing more," said a painter wearing a beret, approaching as he continued to wield his brush.
"The man touted as the most famous oil painting genius in a century?"
Nangong Xue was slightly surprised, "It’s said you’ve taken a rather unconventional professional path..."
"Indeed, I use cosmic artifacts to embody the Fire Profound Mystery... Yours is just a regular painting, the difficulty is not at all the same. Very impressive..."
Fang Xing nodded, "Any interest in doing a graduate degree at Blue University? I could introduce you to a good teacher."
"Sorry... I graduated with a PhD from Nine Swords Academy."
Fan Lin shook his head and continued painting with his brush. On his canvas, the scarlet flames danced and pulsated like sprites...
"Councilor,"
While Fang Xing and Nangong Xue were appreciating art, a young man dressed in a tailcoat with platinum blonde hair approached.
He held a glass of champagne, raising it to Fang Xing, "May I inquire if the Councilor has any interest in the shares of Red Dragon Catering Group?"
"Hmm?"
Nangong Xue was suddenly surprised.
It had only been a few days since Fang Xing received the email, and someone already knew about Red Dragon Catering Group?
This power and background were definitely top-tier in the Federation.
"Let me introduce myself, I’m Jamie! Jamie Augustus."
Jamie smiled, "I had some trade dealings with Red Dragon Catering Group before, and then they breached the commercial contract, losing part of the shares they wagered to me."
"I see, but I’m not interested."
Fang Xing took Nangong Xue’s hand, "A banquet without Uwe is uninteresting; we’ll take our leave first."
His attitude toward his biological parents in this life was one of neither closeness nor enmity.
While he wouldn’t eagerly seek them out for kinship, he also wouldn’t kick them while they were down.
