Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1689 - 826: [Exploring the City of Transcendence] (Part 2)

[Trading Area][Exchange Zone][Transcendence Zone][Mission Area]

Following a brief moment of contemplation, the Trading Area’s mechanical detection voice echoed through the square’s center, triggering the star map on the ground to shift and flow. Before long, a unique, shimmering path manifested in front of the Mirror Image Warship.

A massive phantom of a balance scale drifted above the trail, symbolizing that the core tenet of the Trading Area is the equitable exchange of assets.

The white mist surrounding the Mirror Image Warship suddenly shifted into a multitude of holographic advertisements as the vessel moved onto the glowing path:

[Ninth Rank [Ancient Mother Empress] insect egg, priority exchange for Mythical Soul...]

[Selling a star map of Chaos Divine Land spanning twenty million light-years, priority exchange for space-type colorful artifacts...]

[Colorful upper-level artifact [Cangyu Shield], priority exchange for same rank attack or flash escape-type artifacts...]

[High Rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] for one piece, only exchange for Eleventh Rank Mythical Soul!]

...

This data was automatically converted into encrypted streams upon touching the Chaos Gauze Clothes, becoming visible to every individual passing through.

The warship was suddenly pulled by force onto a transparent platform after traversing what felt like an interminable trading corridor.

In this place, figures shrouded in chaotic aura were congregating, participating in a localized trading fair.

Within the [City of Transcendence], this type of transaction is relatively rare. A temporary fair involving only a dozen participants makes it difficult to maximize value when compared to the commissioned auctions found in the corridor behind.

Typically, only those facing severe time constraints or those unable to locate specific goods in the main corridor would take part in such a gathering.

Song Chi was indifferent at first, but his curiosity was instantly sparked when he spotted a Tenth Rank [Golden Apple] displayed on the trade platform.

While the Tenth Rank [Golden Apple] could potentially evolve a Three-Colored Promotion Fire Source, a different component on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong required more immediate attention.

The [Blood Holy Grail]!

This component currently possesses Black Quality; however, it must be rapidly upgraded to Three-Colored Quality if it is to support the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s future evolution into a Mythical Immortal Ship.

Furthermore, the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring] requires the same upgrade. Both the Asura Emperor and the Giant-toothed Star Shark can temporarily attain Mythical Power through the "Enslavement Mark: Frenzy" feature once it reaches Three-Colored Quality.

There are also numerous other components, such as the [Purusa Zen Seal] and the [Black Hole Evolution Layer], that demand further Cultivation and evolution.

The fervent light in his eyes quickly dimmed, as Song Chi did not harbor much optimism. The worth of a super rank starry sky plant fruit like the Tenth Rank [Golden Apple] is immense. Song Chi doubted his current resources would provide an edge, as even mythical beings might fight for it.

He would only stand a chance if he surrendered the [Mythical Ancestor Origin Blood] retrieved from the Heaven-Fighting Ruins, but he refused to trade that, as it was earmarked as a mythical promotion resource for the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

Regarding Mythical Souls, he had indeed accumulated dozens of shares from the Seventh Arm Region’s production over the last few centuries; however, these were set aside for the [Time Chess Board], [Heavenly Destiny Compass], [Judgment Light], and other parts, rather than being available for trade.

Just as Song Chi prepared to depart, he overheard the owner of the Tenth Rank [Golden Apple] speak:

"I only need High Rank Floating Land Origin—the more, the better. Do not bother me with seventh, eighth, or ninth rank!"

The Mirror Image Warship came to a sudden halt at those words.

A second later, Song Chi’s bid emerged from the chaos-shrouded Mirror Image Warship.

"100 strands of Tenth Rank Floating Land Origin and 1 strand of Eleventh Rank Floating Land Origin."

He might be short on other assets, but High Rank Floating Land Origin was something he possessed in abundance.

Beyond what he gained from the Demon God Floating Land and the Immortal Realm Continent, his family’s exploration of the Heavenly Realm had provided many Tenth Rank Floating Land Origins and even a few strands of Eleventh Rank.

Furthermore, since the Ruins Market reached the Ninth Rank, the [Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform] has been able to synthesize up to Tenth Rank Floating Land Origin. Although it requires a century per strand, it remains a dependable source of production.

Neither Song Chi nor the other figures on the platform made a second offer, perhaps waiting to see if they could squeeze out more.

The value of Tenth Rank Floating Land Origin is undeniably high because, while Star Continents can generally produce it, such continents are rare and the nurturing process is difficult. The actual yearly yield is quite small. An offer of 100 strands of Tenth Rank and 1 strand of Eleventh Rank was already quite formidable.

In the end, Song Chi successfully acquired the Tenth Rank Golden Apple.

He sent the Golden Apple into the Ruins Market but did not rush to visit other sectors. Since he still held a significant amount of High Rank Floating Land Origin, he intended to try for any other super rank resources similar to the Tenth Rank [Golden Apple] that might appear.

Regrettably, although the following trading fairs showcased many rare items, none of them caught his eye.

Song Chi then steered the Mirror Image Warship away from the [Trading Area] to investigate the remaining three zones.

In contrast to the [Trading Area], the [Exchange Zone] consists of an ancient hall held up by seventy-two dark golden pillars, featuring a massive Eye of Chaos suspended in the center.
