Chapter 1211: Chapter 1065 Star of Light Tree (Extra Update for Monthly Votes)

"Fang Xi, we have arrived at the Star of Light Tree."

Time had passed immeasurably.

Just as Fang Xi was still immersed in the wonders of the Inner Core Skills of this realm, a mechanical voice came from the door.

This was the Smart Housekeeper equipped in the room.

"Ah, have we arrived?"

Fang Xi opened his eyes and walked out of the captain’s chamber.

Upon arriving in the cockpit, he saw members of the Zhakun Tribe operating the spaceship, maneuvering it towards a planet in front.

Through the completely transparent walls of the spaceship, one could see this planet, thriving with greenery yet with strands of light-network-like material soaring into the sky, forming a cone of light in space, resembling a gigantic tree of light.

"This is the Star of Light Tree, a commercial planet belonging to the Bone Galaxy... The Lanicanian Empire has office institutions here, where you can go to collect the bounty of the ’Star Exploder’ Eomer..."

Zha Gu introduced to Fang Xi.

At the same time, the spaceship, following guidance, entered the atmosphere and docked inside a massive floating mechanical spaceport.

Outside the many spaceports, there were floating space warships, as well as densely packed drones.

These devices, combined together, subtly involved an Array, protecting the entire planet within.

"A whole commercial planet, not too shabby..." Fang Xi saw this scene but was unfazed, and chuckled, "But compared to the Black Element Continent and Emperor Star, which are commercial hubs, it still falls short..."

"Fang Xi has been to the Black Element Continent? It is rumored to be the largest fence for pirate groups in the Cosmic Sea, with even the shortest diameter spanning six light-years... One can buy all sorts of contraband and military supplies that aren’t available on the market... Compared to that, the Star of Light Tree can only purchase some civilian products at most, indeed it’s just a marketplace in a remote place..." Zha Gu said with utmost respect.

As for the Emperor Star, being the capital of the Lanicanian Empire, it held much greater political significance and had highly developed commercial circulation.

Hearing that Fang Xi seemed to have been to these two places, all members of the Zhakun Tribe showed envious expressions.

They belonged to the Lanran Chamber of Commerce, which was just a small chamber of commerce that ran transportation near the Bone Galaxy.

Relationships further than that were beyond what the upper levels of the chamber could facilitate.

Traveling from one galaxy to another was a journey too vast, and the best spaceships in the universe could only reach the speed of light, with even the wormhole Void jumping technology not being perfected, barely suitable for short trips and escapes.

For a large number of merchant ships to travel to other galaxies, they could only use the ’Star Gate’!

It was a super wormhole controlled by the Lanicanian Empire, also possessing characteristics of a teleportation array.

Within the empire’s borders, there were imperial troops stationed near each major Star Gate, along with at least one ’White Dwarf Level’ Immortal.

With this network of Star Gates throughout the empire, the Lanicanian Empire managed to maintain such a vast territory and even flourished more...

"Alright, this is where we part ways..."

Fang Xi entered the mechanical spaceport, and immediately beneath his feet, a magnetic flying disc appeared.

He stood on it, and his whole body swiftly moved.

"Bon voyage, sir!"

The group of Zhakun Tribe members quickly performed a dance of farewell, their tribe’s highest form of etiquette.

After Fang Xi’s figure disappeared, Zha Gu’s face also revealed a smile, "Surviving from the jaws of death and getting acquainted with a supreme existence like Fang Xi, truly delightful. Today’s drinks are on me, brothers!"

"Oh, oh, oh, we are heading to Dream Star!"

The crew members immediately began shouting.

...

"Eomer, truly a kind person..."

After flying out of the spaceport, Fang Xi raised his hand, and a spaceship shaped like a double-headed axe appeared.

He entered it, and a soft female voice immediately sounded within the spaceship, "Master... where would you like to go?"

"To the Lanicanian Empire’s office on the Star of Light Tree!"

Fang Xi reclined in a chair made from a strange material, feeling almost entirely enveloped and supported by it, along with an immediate start of various subtle massages, comfortably raising his legs in relaxation and picking up a glass of fruit wine.

These spoils were naturally from ’Star Exploder’ Eomer.

The latter had a huge space ring, containing dozens of spaceships that were not yet registered to anyone.

Besides, there were piles of money, various treasures, and foods and drinks...

Having searched Eomer’s soul, Fang Xi could avoid some identity verifications and traps, freely enjoying these spoils.

He swirled his wine glass, a smile appearing on his face, "And to think there are a few unregistered accounts of the Lanicanian Royal Bank... Just knowing the account and password will enable transactions. Indeed, these were secretly amassed behind the backs of the Super Beast Pirate Group’s officers and the leader..."

But Fang Xi understood that, after all, the other party was a pirate!

One never knows when the boss might get arrested; naturally, one must secretly prepare some backup.

The wealth in these unregistered accounts was not even a tenth of Eomer’s fortune, yet it was still astonishing.

If Fang Xi were willing to put in the effort, he could have acquired at least half of Eomer’s wealth, but that would likely expose him.

Thus, he only chose a small portion of Eomer’s float wealth.

"And after being sent to collect the reward, this float wealth isn’t safe... especially the Royal Bank account and password... so it’s best to withdraw the money first, then open a few anonymous accounts."

The spaceship was flying over Star of Light Tree, and soon it arrived at a dark mountain range.

Though it was called an office, the area it covered was vast enough to establish a nation.

"Master... we have received the guiding signal. If we do not dock according to the designated route, it will be regarded as an act of aggression and will be met with electromagnetic cannon fire!"

A screen appeared on the spaceship, and the artificial intelligence spoke.

"Dock according to the designated route."

Fang Xi naturally wouldn’t do so and directly ordered the spaceship to dock at a docking port.

Clack!

The hatch opened, releasing plumes of white vapor.

Fang Xi flew out and saw a scenic view within this dark mountain range, and far in the distance, there was a castle forged from metal.

The castle was grand and vast, seamless as if it was cast from a single piece of alloy.

Crowds of strange beings came in and out through various entrances.

There were beast people with lion and elephant heads, as well as bizarre extraterrestrial creatures made completely of metal or gas.

In fact, strictly speaking, they were all branches of the human race.

Of course, humans like Fang Xi were not absent, though they were few in number and slightly different.

For instance, a few beside him had a blue tear-shaped gem embedded in their foreheads, looking extremely clear and transparent.

"Brother, are you here to handle immigration procedures too?"

A person similar to humans but with gills on his cheeks approached Fang Xi; his eyes lit up as he spoke.

"No..."

Fang Xi gestured with his hand.

"Brother, although we all are citizens of the Lanicanian Empire, the rights of imperial citizens, affiliated citizens, and ordinary civilians are different. For instance, I hope to immigrate to ’Hundred Flowers Star,’ a planet directly governed by the Empire. Just by moving there, I can immediately obtain imperial citizenship and gain the most basic ’Gravity Cultivation Method’... although it requires at least ten billion Bone Currency in local investment, it’s totally worth it... at least..."

His expression suddenly turned gloomy as he thought of something.

Fang Xi remained silent.

The Lanicanian Empire was definitely not a land of peace and kindness; insurrections occasionally broke out due to its vast territories.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many cosmic pirates.

Even the most common ’Gravity Cultivation Method’ was bounded by various permissions, only allowing people with certain credentials to learn.

’The Gravity Cultivation Method is the beginner to Inner Core Skills... If one can’t even access that, it’s indeed quite pitiful.’

Fang Xi muttered to himself and then walked with the person into the dark castle.

Grand and vast...

The castle’s gate was 200 meters high, possibly designed for some giant species.

As they entered the castle, they saw an office hall with desks arranged in a circle, each about a hundred meters tall, around which many people queued.

Fang Xi and the fish-man stood beneath a table, looking almost like ants.

Behind the desk was an enormous silhouette.

She had a human form with a pair of fox ears. Seeing Fang Xi, she spoke in an impatient tone, "Immigrants go to the right, citizenship to the left..."

The voice of this giant fox woman was thunderous, causing those around to bow their heads, sensing the profound disparity between life forms.

"This employee seems much larger than the last one, definitely cultivated to the third tier of Meteor Level!"

Fang Xi heard the fish-man muttering beside him.

This place’s extraordinary law greatly esteemed one’s own mass. A bigger body might not be powerful, but at least it looked intimidating.

Yet he thought disdainfully, ’The Gravity Cultivation Method ultimately leads to Inner Core Skills. Apart from mass, it also demands density! The higher the density, the more dark energy one attracts... like Eomer, who, when enraged, becomes a Red Giant, but can revert to human form when calm. That’s truly powerful. This little fox girl only just manages to stack up the mass, unable to increase the density, impressive in appearance but not in utility...’

Fang Xi internally sneered and spoke, "I’m here to collect a bounty."

"Bounties under ten thousand are directly handled by the Bone Currency officials..."

The fox woman replied lazily.

"Oh, what if it’s a significant pirate worth thirty-six million?"

Fang Xi smiled slightly and tossed Eomer out of his sleeve.

Immediately, various alarms blared throughout the metal castle, evidently detecting the terrifying energy fluctuations from Eomer.

"This... what is this...?"

Both the fish-man and the fox woman clerk stared at Eomer’s face, their eyes widening in astonishment...
