Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists
Chapter 1225 - 1079: An Audience

Chapter 1225: Chapter 1079: An Audience

Several days ago.

Space freighters floated around Fire Feather Star.

"The best materials for igniting a planet were originally ’Phoenix’s Feather’ and ’the heart of a Fire Dragon Lizard’, or ’Sun God Crystal’..."

"But that’s the Heavenly God Series way of doing things, being from the Gaia Series Civilian flow, I’ve just about managed with a large number of Fire Source Crystals..."

Fang Xi muttered to himself, beginning to make the final payment through the Quantum Communication Device on his wrist.

The breakthrough from Planet Level to Red Giant was truly a massive divide.

And the step of ’igniting’ a planet had stumped ninety-nine percent of the people.

Just transforming Fire Feather Star had nearly drained the last official currency from Fang Xi’s account.

"This is still the cheapest option..."

"If you look at the most expensive, it’s simply limitless..."

Fang Xi murmured as he arrived at the Star Core’s location.

Immediately after, Fire Feather Star began spinning rapidly, a terrifying gravitational force acting upon the freighters surrounding it.

The unmanned space freighters were instantly captured by the planetary gravitational field, crashing into the atmosphere, and becoming part of Fire Feather Star’s mass.

Ah, these freighters were actually within the scope of the trading goods.

Now, as one freighter after another exploded, a large number of containers scattered, and numerous crimson crystals were strewn across the planetary surface.

’According to the experiences of Gaia Series cultivators, this method of breakthrough is extremely difficult and prone to failure... Only one in ten thousand can become a Red Giant level Immortal, and there’s a one in a thousand chance to end up as a white dwarf, which is due to losing too much stability after the promotion...’

But to him, all of this made no difference.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged, a flame Taoist Species quietly emerging, like a spark entering a pan of oil.

In an instant, the whole planet was ’ignited’!

In the cosmos, a planet suddenly burst into flames, expanding greatly, its volume amplifying by millions of times...

The dreadful light and heat converged within Fang Xi!

"So this is... a Red Giant level Immortal?"

"Indeed, it’s a powerful force, surely beyond the grasp of ordinary people, and they would likely fail easily..."

Surrounded by Fang Xi, the force of multiple Laws was activated, manipulating Fire Feather Star to slowly turn, using its gravitational pull to bind the dispersing crimson brilliance and consuming a vast amount of dark matter and dark energy from the universe.

’The consumption and cultivation speed of a Red Giant level Immortal surpasses that of a Planet Level expert by who knows how many times...’

Right after breaking through to Red Giant, that was the most critical time.

Many Gaia Series Planet Level experts sadly went from joy to sorrow at this step, as they could not control the gravitational field of the newly born Red Giant’s power, then rapidly decayed, turned into white dwarfs, their lifespans greatly diminished...

However, for Fang Xi, this was naturally not a difficult task.

The colossal crimson star slowly rotated and then vanished without a trace, leaving only the figure of Fang Xi remaining.

"Red Giant level..."

"So, next would be Neutron Star level, right?"

"The promotion to Neutron Star level requires immense pressure, enough to crush the outer shell of an atom and the nucleus!"

"Many experts try to leverage Cosmic Wonders for their breakthrough, facing tremendous external pressure to advance, and perish if they can’t withstand it..."

"If one comprehends the ’Law of Pressure’, though, they can guide their own Red Giant to slowly transform..."

"In doing so, not only is the success rate of the breakthrough higher, but it is also much safer..."

Fang Xi gave a slight smile.

The path of cultivation in this part of the universe was essentially an imitation of the sequence of celestial transformations.

If the conditions were right, the speed of breakthroughs was unimaginably fast.

"At Red Giant level in the True Immortal Realm, I must be at least a True Immortal, right?"

Fang Xi took out his Quantum Communication Device and sent a message to Wenger.

The fluorescent screen flashed, showing the figure of Wenger: "Your Highness, I’m currently at Emperor Star handling this purchase... Also, Prince Sato indeed intends to call upon some princes and princesses for military service; please be careful..."

"There’s no need to worry about these, as I’ve already become Red Giant level."

Fang Xi smiled, "You’ll soon be able to see the related certification... As a member of the Royal Family at Red Giant level, I remember there are quite a few powers available to me..."

"What... Red, Red Giant level?"

Wenger’s expression was somewhat dazed.

Although His Highness had ordered him to start collecting resources for the breakthrough, he thought the Prince was just preparing for the future.

He hadn’t expected the other to be so impulsive, to just go for it!

And to succeed at once no less!

Should one say, indeed fitting for someone of the Phoenix Bloodline?

Reminded by Fang Xi, he finally realized: "Yes... yes, indeed... Normally, the promotion of a prince to Red Giant level is a major event, which should be confirmed by the Heraldic Institute, and then presented before the Emperor..."

The Heraldic Institute, while not prominent in name among the Empire’s major departments, was actually very important, with the responsibility to confirm the Royal Family members and their strength.

Fang Xi nodded, then cut the communication, and casually reached out for another call.

A shadow flickered, and the figure of a person appeared on the screen.

It was a woman with rabbit ears, cute in appearance but with a surprisingly formidable presence, actually at Red Giant level.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xi noticed something different about this communication; he could actually sense the other’s presence as if... they were face-to-face.

"Hello, Prince #1069, Prince Kaya, may I ask what service you wish to request?"

The rabbit-eared woman crossed her hands in front of her abdomen, bowed politely, and asked.

"Strength certification!"

Fang Xi stated.

"Please wait..."

The bunny girl performed another bow then began to operate a device.

In a flash, Fang Xi felt some kind of fluctuation pass through the quantum communication device and stealthily sweep over him.

Soon after, the bunny girl exclaimed in admiration, "Authentication successful, confirmation that Prince Kaya has ascended to Red Giant level! Your Highness, although starting out at merely Satellite level, your progress has been truly astonishing..."

She unconsciously compared Prince Kaya to Prince Sato.

Although the latter was recognized as a genius, even rumored to be ascending to Neutron Star level, he too was but a Red Giant level.

Even if Sato followed the most luxurious ’Heavenly God Series’ path, and had reached its peak.

But strictly speaking, both princes were now at the same level, both at Red Giant rank!

"Your backstage data has been updated..."

The bunny girl said.

"Oh? What kind of benefits do princes at the Red Giant level receive?"

Fang Xi was the first to speak up, asking about the advantages.

After all, after the ascension to Red Giant rank, he had nearly exhausted his funds.

He didn’t know if His Majesty the Emperor would be calling again with an extra billion or two.

"As a Red Giant level Immortal, Your rank has been upgraded, giving you the right to directly send messages to His Majesty the Emperor’s inbox..."

"Besides that, your privileges have been updated..."

The bunny girl enumerated one by one.

Overall, there was no money this time!

Fang Xi turned off the communication device and touched his chin.

Of course, he wasn’t thinking of the inheritance from his previous life, but the benefits that could be obtained after the privilege update.

While there was no money, the upgraded privileges did grant him some minor strength.

With a little maneuvering, securing a stable and ample income wouldn’t be a problem.

’After all, I am a prince...’

’Now that I’ve established myself, surely there are those willing to back me...’

Fang Xi thought to himself, when suddenly, a gleam of light shone upon the communication device.

"Wenger?"

He glanced at it and smiled, "What’s the matter?"

"Just received a communication, Prince Kaya, you are required to go to Emperor Star to attend the imperial court meeting presided over by His Majesty the Emperor..."

Wenger spoke with a solemn tone, "This time the selection of those who will fight against the Insect race will be finalized, and every prince at Red Giant level and above will participate..."

"Oh? Have I managed to catch up?"

Fang Xi touched his chin and smiled thoughtfully.

...

Emperor Star.

Inside the Bronze Palace.

Fang Xi came to this place once again, looking at the figure hundreds of kilometers tall, still feeling the insignificance of his own existence.

’The current Emperor of the Empire, not only is a Black Hole Immortal but also the strongest among the Black Hole Immortals...’

He felt solemn in his heart as he saw one strange-shaped elder after another, feeling he couldn’t quite play in their league.

After a brief greeting, he found his own circle.

"Yo, my dear brother Sato, it’s been a while..."

Fang Xi swept a glance, seeing a group of princes and princesses dressed in formal attire forming a circle, and directly walked over.

Sato was also taken aback upon seeing Fang Xi.

He could never have imagined that the Satellite-level prince who dared to refuse him before had now become a Red Giant level existence.

But soon, he sneered in his heart; ’Just a waste from the Gaia Series...’

However, in front of his father, he could only force a slight smile, "Kaya... congratulations on your ascension."

As Fang Xi walked on the grand palace floor, he somewhat understood why those below Red Giant were not allowed to attend the meeting.

One after another, beings at Red Giant level and above were free to emit energy fluctuations, and ordinary Satellite or even Planet-level individuals could suffer irreversible harm.

"Sato, even now, you are unwilling to call me elder brother?"

Fang Xi sighed, appearing quite dispirited.

"Splutter!"

Xinsha, at the side, felt the urge to laugh but suppressed it fiercely, feeling her mood inexplicably lift a lot.

Fang Xi had just settled when he saw a woman clad in golden armor approach him.

She was even more beautiful than Xinsha, with distinct features and an aura of regal grandeur.

"Kaya... Finally meeting you, I am Susanna!"

"Ah, number three hundred and sixty-seven sister..."

Fang Xi replied politely.

This Princess Susanna was extraordinary, not only had she garnered a large following, but she was also a Neutron Immortal, a strong contender for the next throne.

"Why do you say ’finally meeting me’?"

Fang Xi was somewhat surprised.

Susanna’s eyes curled with a hint of allure, "I sent you an invitation before..."

"Oh... So it was that."

Fang Xi smiled apologetically, "I was so engrossed in cultivation that I didn’t notice..."

He didn’t continue, because as a sense of oppression grew stronger, everyone instinctively turned their gaze towards His Majesty the Emperor...
