Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists

Chapter 1219: Chapter 1073: Recruitment

"Good day, Prince Kaya, I am your Royal Guard Captain and mentor. You may call me Wenger..."

Inside villa 1167 of the Blue Dragon Community, an old man with a flowing beard and the demeanor of a scholar bowed deeply to Fang Xi.

"Teacher Wenger, are you still a Sixth Tier scholar?"

Fang Xi had already looked up Wenger’s resume on his home AI and couldn’t help but smile.

Not only was the other party a Red giant level Immortal, but also a researcher who had achieved Sixth Tier scientific results.

This was truly quite remarkable; the Empire divided scholars into tiers from one to nine, with the first tier being the lowest and the ninth the highest.

Reaching Seventh Tier academic achievements gave one the right to be selected to join the Royal Science Academy!

A Sixth Tier scholar was already quite rare.

This showed that the subjects were very attentive, knowing Prince Kaya’s passion for scientific research and choosing a Captain of the Guard that was a very good fit.

"Hehe... I merely made some insignificant improvements to the 875th generation gravity generator..."

Wenger said with a smile, clearly proud of this research achievement.

Then, his expression became serious: "Prince Kaya, I must remind you that a satellite-level strength is too low for a prince... You see, many laboratory environments are extremely harsh, and those at the satellite level who enter them will face death! Therefore, even just to carry out various high-end studies, it is very necessary to enhance your strength as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"

Fang Xi accepted the advice with a grave expression.

He could tell whether the other party was laying a trap or genuinely offering a kind reminder.

He had to admit, his cultivation was indeed somewhat low.

Many of the Emperor’s princes and princesses are at the Planet Level, and there is no lack of Red giant level Immortals among them.

Among the top hundred princes, it was said that there are even Neutron Star Immortals!

Of course, there are no Black Hole Immortals.

Otherwise, one would have been established as the Crown Prince long ago.

"Alright, you can set aside your martial skills and other offshoots of cultivation and focus on your Golden Core. Once you meet the requirements, I will personally accompany you, Prince, to select a suitable planet and advance to Planet Level..."

Wenger spoke.

"I have a doubt concerning cultivation..."

Fang Xi asked, "Above a Black Hole Immortal, is there truly no other realm?"

"This question has always been the brightest jewel atop the Royal Science Academy’s crown..." Wenger thought for a moment before saying, "Above a Black Hole Immortal, there must be other realms... And according to mainstream conjecture, it should be related to the high condensation of Conceptual Power... A Black Hole Immortal would actively absorb Conceptual Power... What do you think will happen if a Black Hole Immortal whose mass, density, and gravity reach the limit, even gathering all the Conceptual Power of the universe into themselves?"

"The universe... becoming one?"

Fang Xi gained some understanding, then chuckled bitterly, "This conjecture is too terrifying... To ascend to such a realm, wouldn’t I need to devour the entire universe with my own black hole?"

A Black Hole Immortal could absorb Conceptual Power, and if they absorbed the entire universe’s Tao, then upon becoming a Taoist Master, they would arguably be the most unique and special existence among the Taoist Masters.

They could even be called ’Creator God’ or ’Maker’!

Even the Taoist Masters of the True Immortal Realm would pale in comparison.

After all, the Taoist Masters of the True Immortal Realm only mastered one Tao, not all of them!

’If this conjecture holds, could the realm after a Black Hole Immortal in this Big Thousand World even overpower most Taoist Masters?’

After Wenger took his leave, Fang Xi lay on the soft sofa and closed his eyes.

Then, his consciousness entered a virtual reality network.

Before his eyes, a nebula materialized.

Countless stars and planets... endlessly revolved around a galaxy.

"Welcome to the ’Royal Library,’ Emperor Kaya!"

A mechanical voice sounded.

The ’Royal Library’ had long abandoned the inconvenient storage form of paper books, transferring all materials onto the network.

Although Fang Xi was already aware of this, he was still surprised to see that a virtual network’s galaxy was needed to store knowledge.

"Vast as the boundless sea..."

"But, it suits me perfectly."

He landed on a planet, only to see countless towering buildings.

Each book was hundreds of meters tall, with introductions to countless cosmic languages, flesh and blood races, mechanical races, mind tribes...

Even poetry, painting, sculpture... many forms of art...

Of course, there were also various cultivation secrets, martial skills...

And even research on many Conceptual Powers...

Absolutely everything one could imagine.

Fang Xi immediately immersed himself, losing track of the passage of time in the outside world.

"I have been granted access, except for the ’Forbidden Book Zone,’ the rest are all available for perusal..."

Fang Xi directly skipped past the poetry, arts, and geographic history, making his way to the deepest part of the library galaxy.

Swish!

A silver-white metallic book was opened.

On the title page, strands of lines wriggled to life.

"Discourse on the Condensation of the ’Concept of Light’? Author, Hugh Phoenix?"

Fang Xi glanced over it and then turned to the next page.

This page had no text, only light!

All kinds of light rays emanated from the page, forming countless glimmers...

It was similar to the secret seals of the Immortals in the Cultivation World, where truths of the Tao were directly expressed in their true patterns as Law.

"Although it’s somewhat simplistic, there’s no doubt that comprehension of the Law has reached the level where Law takes form..."

"By the standards of this world, it’s considered genius..."

Fang Xi flipped through several pages, then picked up another book, "Conceptual Review," and read with great interest.

This Royal Library could undoubtedly greatly enrich his foundation, making his recent understanding of The Great Path of All Heavens Reincarnation all the more profound. He had indeed been born well this time, finding himself in Rome from birth.

As for the great battle in ten thousand years?

Heh...

Fang Xi hadn’t thought that far ahead.

After all, in ten thousand years, he might well have cultivated into a Black Hole Immortal...

"The power of concepts, for the expression of universal laws... As is well-known, upon ascending to Black Hole Immortal, one would suppress the universe’s origin, making it proactively bestow the ’concept of space-time’..."

"It’s better to say that in the pursuit of ’balance’, the universe’s origin proactively grants this... Balance is the supreme, it is everything!"

"Hmm?"

Fang Xi considered this assertion, his heart stirred.

"Indeed, from another perspective, if even Black Hole Immortals lacked the concept of ’space-time’, that would be terrifying, and they would become an unstable factor in the universe, ultimately disturbing its balance... Therefore, for the sake of balance, the great universe proactively grants the ’concept of space-time’... This is indeed an innovative perspective."

"It’s just a pity that the author doesn’t seem to be regarded by the mainstream..."

He sighed to himself.

Fang Xi, hailing from the True Immortal Realm, had a profound understanding of the balance of Heavenly Path, hence he found it not difficult to comprehend.

But to the scientists of this world, it was common sense for black holes themselves to affect space-time, so it was hard to consider this issue from the perspective of the universe as a whole.

"Author—Aaron Phoenix?"

"This Phoenix clan indeed only produces geniuses..."

Fang Xi reflected silently.

"’Black Hole Immortals’ in this world are comparable to Prime Taoist Masters in rank and are also very special ’Time-Space Taoist Masters’ whose combat power is exceptional among Prime Taoist Masters..."

"If I ascend to ’Black Hole Immortal’, I will immediately gain a Prime Taoist Master level clone, and that too one of unparalleled combat capabilities... A truly profitable gain... In fact, if I break through the realm after Black Hole Immortal, perhaps I could immediately seek revenge in the True Immortal Realm against those few Taoist Masters?"

Fang Xi had never forgotten the grudge from when the Time-Space Taoist Master and Lord Yin Yang obstructed him during his original ascension to Taoist Master.

"Although Taoist Masters are not unique, if a Tao holds multiple Taoist Masters, it undoubtedly leads to a decline in each Taoist Master’s control over the Tao... That’s why many Taoist Masters treat their own Tao as sacred and forbid other Prime Taoist Masters to interfere..."

"If the True Immortal Realm suddenly gains a ’Time-Space Taoist Master’, then the original and most ancient ’Time-Space Taoist Master’, even if his realm does not fall, his strength would certainly be greatly damaged..."

Fang Xi had never regarded Lord Yin Yang with concern.

However, the Time-Space Taoist Master, being an exceptionally ancient existence with mastery over the highly extraordinary Space-Time Path, did cause him some wariness.

"Even if I don’t get revenge this time, once I control the ’Great Path of All Heavens Reincarnation’ and become the All Heavens Reincarnation Taoist Master, capable of refining Taoist Fruits, I will surely have my revenge!"

"Or... Perhaps I should continue to lie low and play dead for now."

After much consideration, Fang Xi decided to continue immersing himself in the ocean of knowledge...

...

Blue Dragon Community, Villa No. 569.

A porcelain white arm, wrapped in a layer of semi-transparent black gauze, lifted a tall-stemmed wine glass.

Purple-red lips lightly sipped the wine, exuding a hint of seduction.

"Have we heard... that we have a new brother?"

The owner of the hand lounged lazily on the sofa, with rows of trembling maids standing beside her.

Seated on other sofas were other formidable men with blood-red hair and golden horns.

They were dressed in lavish suits, each with an astonishing presence reaching Planetary Level.

"Yes, ten thousand sixty-nine... He’s taken the route of a scientist, seemingly without much ambition."

Prince Nine Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Seven swirled his wine glass, chuckling softly.

"The path of a scientist? That’s terribly difficult... It seems worthwhile to try and win him over."

"During my initial trials, I had considered building a Space Ship," another prince said, admiration on his face. "But during a great battle, the engine was damaged... In the end, I flayed alive the one who dared to destroy my engine."

"It’s said that this new brother is still at Satellite Level because he’s unwilling to destroy his native planet and has not yet ascended to Planet Level..."

The princess in black gauze stretched out lazily, "That’s a significant character flaw, so he’s unlikely to catch our father’s eye... However, as logistics and support, he’s quite eligible, possibly even for entrance to the Royal Science Academy... Worth courting.."
