Chapter 165 Pansy and the Divine Water
Swallowed Star World, August 12, 2066.
Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Cuilang Star Region.
This is a region tens of millions of light-years away from the Milky Way.
Even with a spaceship traveling at ten times the speed of light, it would take a month to reach this star system from Earth. In the Cui Lang Star System, there is an organization that operates a slave trade called "Fire Phoenix." The Fire Phoenix organization has eighteen high-ranking members. In addition to the normal slave trade, the Fire Phoenix organization also operates some dark businesses that do not comply with the laws of the universe.
For example, cannibalism, treating babies as food.
Of course, this is nothing new; after all, this is Swallowing the Stars, a world where slavery is legal.
However, legitimacy depends on who it applies to. A King-level Immortal can slaughter billions of planetary-level beings at will, but the Fire Phoenix Group, a mere Realm Lord, clearly does not have that qualification.
The reason they dared to do this is because they had someone backing them up.
That was the seventh prince of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
Meanwhile, in the Cui Lang star system, at a place called the Bain asteroid cluster.
This is the center of the Fire Phoenix Group.
The Fire Phoenix Group rules over several star systems and has millions of slave planets under its control, with countless slaves.
Pansy, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Group, the head of the 18 directors, and also the spiritual leader of the Fire Phoenix Group.
He was looking towards the horizon at that moment.
Meanwhile, the several cosmic-level guards around him were whispering among themselves:
"The boss actually came to wait for someone in person. Who is this person?"
"I don't know, but I heard they reserved all the slaves currently stored in our Fire Phoenix Group, and even reserved slaves for the next million years. They're top-tier clients."
"So rich? This is almost a transaction quota for several Chaos Units! That's enough to buy several star systems. Why are they buying slaves?!"
The guards were all in shock.
Pansy, however, dismissed this with disdain.
"If what I have weren't something I can't sell, and if it weren't for the fact that once it's exposed I'd be doomed, I wouldn't be here making this kind of money."
Despite having this thought, Pansy still obediently waited for the client to arrive.
Pansy, born a slave, launched a rebellion the day before being implanted with a "biochip" and directly occupied a habitable planet.
He then led a large number of his men in a spaceship and escaped the slave planet, leaving the subsequent slave trader forces empty-handed.
After escaping the slave planet, Pan Xi first dispersed his subordinates and secretly registered as a "cosmic citizen" in the Cui Lang Star Region. He then lived in seclusion on an ordinary life-bearing planet in the Cui Lang Star Region for hundreds of years. When he reappeared, he was already a "cosmic-level powerhouse".
With the strength of a cosmic-level powerhouse, he began to take revenge on the slave trader from back then. That slave trader was quite powerful, but in the end, he was dismantled by Pansi.
Later!
Pansy seized control of the slave trader's power and became the new slave trader!
With the resources at his disposal, his strength increased rapidly, eventually reaching the 'Domain Lord level'. At this point, he quickly contacted seventeen other powerful Domain Lords to form an alliance! With eighteen people joining forces, they could naturally occupy a larger market. He carefully considered all the partners he chose.
Some had powerful connections, some were fierce fighters, and some were known for their cunning; in short, they were all formidable figures.
With the support of the Fire Phoenix Group, Panxi obtained a large amount of resources, befriended powerful figures, and diligently cultivated his skills.
He purchased some secret techniques and cultivated them in seclusion, eventually reaching the third level of the Realm Lord on his own. Furthermore, through making connections with powerful figures, he accidentally met the seventh prince of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom and gained the prince's support, making his network of connections even more astonishing!
He is Pansy.
A man born a slave, rising to become a powerful figure, has actually reached the third level of the Realm Lord! It should be noted that there are probably only a few dozen Realm Lords in the entire Cui Lang Starfield, and most of them have been guided by renowned masters, or even studied under immortal gods. To reach the third level of the Realm Lord through one's own arduous cultivation is simply unbelievable.
As the spiritual leader of the Fire Phoenix Group, he is the undisputed boss.
Pansy, however, rarely indulged in pleasure, instead choosing to retreat to secluded places of asceticism, such as the Bain asteroid belt.
Of course, what others consider legendary experiences are nothing to Pansy.
The vast universe is incredibly mysterious, and there are countless life forms in the universe, many of which have had special experiences.
Pansy had this special encounter, which was a lake of mysterious divine water.
He still doesn't know the real name of this divine water, only realizing its miraculous effects when cultivating iron vine grass.
The spiritual herb that would normally take a thousand years to mature actually traveled a thousand miles a day under the nourishment of the divine water, breaking through to the ninth level of the Realm Lord in just a few months, and the amount of divine water consumed was only a drop from a fingertip.
He then tried a stronger spiral, but the result was the same.
Panxi instantly understood that this was a treasure that could drive even immortals mad. Cultivating a ninth-tier World Lord level Conch Flower required tens of thousands of Chaos Yuan Units, but the Divine Water only used a tiny fraction of that.
The value of this lake was something he dared not even consider. If he were to reveal even the slightest detail, not only would the immortality of the Qianwu Kingdom be at stake, but even the ruler of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom would likely turn against him.
Having a treasure trove in one's hands is a good thing, but this treasure trove can bring deadly threats and make him feel extreme fear.
Fear made him restrain himself, preventing him from revealing the divine water.
He regarded the divine water as his only trump card, and occasionally took a drop to aid his cultivation. This is how he managed to advance all the way to the realm lord without the guidance of an immortal expert.
If this customer hadn't offered such an outrageous price—a deposit of half a Hunyuan unit, plus a meeting to discuss a million-year partnership—it would have been a different story.
Pan Xi would never personally meet with him; he would simply have his subordinates or other directors receive him.
After all, he possesses the Locke Divine Water, making it highly likely that he can reach the pinnacle.
He can't waste his time on something like this.
While waiting, Pansy frowned slightly, pondering the guest's information.
"Information from the virtual universe indicates that this guest—Xu Qing—appears to be just a ninth-level Hengxing."
"Most likely, it's a descendant or disciple of some immortal being."
He chuckled to himself.
"Possessing assets enough to buy several star systems, yet only cultivating to the ninth level of the Eternal Star Realm, is truly a waste of precious resources."
"If I had the protection of an immortal, the guidance of a renowned master, and this divine water," Pan Xi gazed at the deep starry sky, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes, "I would probably already be standing at the peak of the realm lord."
He was guarding a mountain of treasures but dared not show it to anyone, and he even had to serve as a dog for these good-for-nothings born with silver spoons in their mouths. Thinking of this, he clenched his fists tightly.
Of course, Panxi also knew that there were only two months left until the once-in-5000-years Cosmic Genius Battle, and the upper limit for registering for the Genius Battle was the ninth level of the Hengxing Star.
His guest was very likely a contestant. Once the other party achieved a ranking, he could enter the core level of the Virtual Universe Company, which would be equivalent to that of an ordinary department head-level expert, or even more noble than an ordinary immortal-level expert. Thinking of this, Pan Xi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Oh, how hateful."
Suddenly, the space around the distant star trails distorted, revealing a silver-white ship. Pansy looked up and saw it.
My guest has arrived.
