Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1286 Star Sea (91)

Leaning lazily on the lounge chair, taking a sip from a glass of iced drink, Wang Chen’s gaze swept across the green plains full of wildflowers, delved into the dense forest in the distance, and reached the peak of the towering and dangerous mountain.

The wind blowing from the wilderness carried the fragrance of soil and flowers, unconsciously intoxicating people.

Only wishing for time to forever stay in this moment.

This is Holy Light Star, the most important planet of the Empire, gathering the elite of billions of humans, with power and influence covering a third of the Ancient Star system.

A paradise dreamed of by countless people!

A month ago, Wang Chen came from Emperor Satellite One to Holy Light Star, and was then arranged to stay in this villa several hundred kilometers away from the Holy Capital.

Wang Chen knew that this was the Empire’s upper echelon’s compensation to him.

The outcome of the Dawson Professor incident could only be described as a farce, but Wang Chen’s status was not significant enough to warrant a real explanation from the Empire’s higher-ups.

The power struggles and games involved in this had nothing to do with him!

But Wang Chen was not an ordinary person, as the Empire’s currently known strongest superpower user, the attitude of appeasement from the Empire’s upper echelon was very clear.

Don’t look at the fact that the villa he now lives in can’t even touch the edge of the Holy Capital, but you must know that the entire Holy Light Star has only a billion residents, and most of them are concentrated in the Imperial Capital region.

Villas like this are extremely precious, only the Empire’s great noble families and those who have made special contributions to the Empire are qualified to reside here.

Wang Chen’s villa covers about ten mu, but it also includes hundreds of thousands of mu of pasture, woodland, and hunting grounds, where during his stay he can ride horses, hunt, fish, and chop wood, doing whatever he likes on this private land.

If he feels lonely and bored, he can also take a magnetic levitation vehicle and in just over ten minutes fly to the commercial area of the Holy Capital to shop and enjoy the splendor and glory of the Imperial Capital!

Of course, these welfare benefits are not taken for free. Although the relationship with the Institute of Holy Light has soured, the construction work of the Imperial Superpower System still requires his participation to complete.

Even so, the past month has still been the most comfortable and pleasurable time since Wang Chen descended upon this world.

He only needs to work one or two hours a day, mainly communicating with people from relevant departments online, and the rest of his time is completely at his own disposal.

And Holy Light is undoubtedly the safest planet in the entire Empire, so Wang Chen has no worries about any security issues while staying here, nor is he disturbed by unexpected visits.

The nearest neighbor to him is dozens of kilometers away!

Draining the drink in his glass, Wang Chen closed his eyes, his Divine Soul gradually sinking into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, as his Spiritual Energy silently spread out, expanding in all directions.

His Spiritual Energy has already reached the level of the Seventh Ring Summit, with the limit perception distance fully extended exceeding five hundred kilometers, almost reaching the suburbs of the Imperial Capital.

But Wang Chen did not expand so far, stopping within a hundred kilometers, and then perceiving the surrounding world and nature.

This beautiful planet is alive.

The "life" mentioned here does not refer to the creatures inhabiting the planet, but the aura that the planet itself possesses!

With the help of Spiritual Energy, Wang Chen perceived its rhythm with unparalleled clarity, like a human heart beating, continuously conveying vast and mysterious information.

This information is currently beyond Wang Chen’s ability to parse, but through such communication, he gradually integrates his own aura into this planet, to elevate his own spiritual consciousness.

Breaking through the limit of the Seventh Ring!

This is the method of advancement Wang Chen enlightened himself to.

For a month now, he has been in a state of advancement, only one opportunity short of completing the breakthrough.

But Wang Chen is not anxious, as a natural ascent is the most perfect.

It is unknown how much time had passed when Wang Chen’s Divine Soul returned from the deepest part of his Sea of Consciousness, and he opened his eyes to find the sky completely dark, a moment when the stars in the sky were dazzlingly bright.

"Master."

At this moment, a pretty maid approached, presenting an envelope: "This is an invitation from Earl Lind, just sent by messenger."

Earl Lind?

The image of a scholarly middle-aged noble instantly appeared in Wang Chen’s mind.

He nodded and took the invitation, discovering that it was an invitation from the Earl’s second daughter, who was hosting a coming-of-age ceremony next week, inviting Wang Chen, the new neighbor, to the Lind Manor to attend the event.

The nobles of the Empire are very particular about etiquette. Not to mention this kind of important invitation, even ordinary invitations come with a dedicated person delivering the letter, to show solemnity and respect.

When Wang Chen had just moved into this villa, Earl Lind, as a neighbor, had personally visited him, so they were acquaintances of a sort.

This kind of invitation is not abrupt.

Wang Chen put away the invitation and said, "Reply to Earl Lind for me, thank him for the invitation, and that I will personally attend on time."

The villa Wang Chen lived in comes with a professional butler and servants, allowing him to give instructions with just a word.

The only thing Wang Chen had to consider was what kind of gift to give Earl Lind’s second daughter.

For the nobles of the Empire, the coming-of-age ceremony for legitimate children is as important as a wedding, so the event’s specifications are very high. Normally speaking, someone like Wang Chen, a scholar family member and officer, wouldn’t even qualify to receive an invitation from an Earl.

However, Earl Lind is a rather interesting character, whose ancestors were once close subjects of the Emperor and had handled the Cabinet, essentially reaching the pinnacle of officialdom.

But the descendants were not promising, with the family’s glory fading within five generations, reducing from ducal status to that of an Earl, with several tiers fallen, yet still possessing property on Holy Light Star, indicative of deep roots.

Earl Lind himself is scholarly and modest, a good person to engage with.

It was precisely because of this that Wang Chen was willing to give him some face.

After some thought, Wang Chen simply asked the maid to call the butler over.

The estate villa’s butler was already over sixty, with graying temples but bright eyes, respectfully inquiring, "Master, what are your instructions?"

"Our neighbor Earl Lind has invited me to attend his second daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony..."

Wang Chen explained briefly, then asked, "Do you know what kind of person the Earl’s second daughter is?"

Gifts can’t be given recklessly; they must match the recipient’s identity, otherwise, it’s easy to make a joke of it.

Especially with nobility, face is paramount!

As it turns out, the butler did know: "Replying to the master, Earl Lind’s second daughter is named Yunya..."

He relayed everything he knew to Wang Chen.

This gave Wang Chen confidence in his decision.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

This evening, Wang Chen boarded a levitating vehicle, heading towards Earl Lind’s manor residence to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the latter’s second daughter.
