Capítulo 1731: Chapter 844: [A Good Start] (Part 2)
The sky above is a visceral blood-red, choked with drifting fragments of shattered land; The terrain below stretches into the horizon, pulsing with a life of its own and occasionally venting plumes of iridescent light through its jagged cracks;
Most magnificent of all is the colossal peak situated directly beneath: a structure formed not from stone, but from an assembly of countless massive bronze swords. Each blade is etched with arcane scriptures, their patterns glowing and fading in a rhythmic, breathing motion.
“The legends were true; the Origin Star is a realm where treasures are found at every turn…” Song Chi whispered to himself.
Ignoring all else, the prismatic light occasionally erupting from the surface alone signifies the birth of new colorful mythical artifacts. As for the mountain of blades, the flickering designs upon it are rule patterns. Even though they do not constitute a whole “Sword Rule,” securing even a tiny fragment could instantly transform a person into a “Sword Dao” genius on the level of a River System Community.
As these possibilities crossed his mind, Song Chi gave his head a firm shake. While the riches on the surface of the Origin Star were immense, they were currently beyond his reach. That region was typically the playground for Tenth Rank Mythical Creatures that had ventured onto the planet. For a low-rank entity to descend to the surface? Unless one was certain they could evade the senses of those mythical beings, the mortality rate would be hundreds or thousands of times higher than staying in the clouds. Of course, given that the Origin Star’s diameter rivaled a River System Community in the Shattered Starry Sea, one might gamble on the hope that their chosen landing site was devoid of such entities.
Song Chi intended to wait until his [Mirror Image Splitting] reached a colorful upper-quality, allowing for the replication of seven-colored components. Only then would the mirror image warship possess the necessary capabilities to scout the Origin Star’s surface.
As the vessel continued its descent, the massive sword-mountain below suddenly shuddered with violence. In the following instant, a beam of bronze sword light, spanning dozens of light-years in diameter, pierced the heavens. It tore through the chaotic fog, carving a vacuum path that stretched for hundreds of light-years.
“Run a scan on that sword light!” Song Chi commanded instinctively.
The [Eye of Truth] installed on the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship was activated immediately. Soon, the five-colored radar displayed data that made his heart race:
[Name: Sword Rule Origin Sword Light] [Energy Level: Eleventh Rank] [Note: This origin sword light contains a sword rule fragment of immense value.]
“A sword rule fragment?” Song Chi’s gaze burned with fervor. He finally understood why the myriad realms’ superpowers were so obsessed with this location—a random discharge of sword light could contain one of the rarest fragments of the sword rule. The wealth hidden within the Origin Star was truly inconceivable.
Yet, despite his intense desire, Song Chi did not move. In those few seconds, he sensed several surges of mythical auras, all clearly converging on the rule fragment within that sword light. The Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship maintained its descent, steered away from the source of the light to drift quietly through the void.
“Hmm?” After an indeterminate period of travel, Song Chi, who remained hyper-vigilant, let out a soft sound. A distinct energy signature had appeared on the radar of the upgraded [Eye of Truth]. Had this been thousands of years ago, he might have missed it, but his time at the Heaven-Fighting Ruins had made him very familiar with the [Chaos Mirror Image Stone]. The signature on the map was almost certainly one of those stones, and it was likely higher than the standard low-quality version.
Once confirmed, Song Chi did not hesitate. Spatial ripples enveloped the hull of the mirror image warship, and it vanished into the void. When it reappeared several light-years away, it was positioned at the edge of a ninth-level energy tempest, right at the eye where a [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] was nestled. However, two other Ninth Rank Alien Races had also spotted this intermediate-rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone]. Unaware of the cloaked warship, they attempted to charge into the storm to grab it. But just as they breached the tempest, the stone at the center vanished as if it had never existed.
“Who did that!” “Show yourself!”
The two Ninth Rank Aliens bellowed in rage, but the perpetrator—the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Image Warship—had already slipped away under Song Chi’s orders.
“The remote retrieval effect of the [Void Warehouse]… truly wonderful!” Inside the cabin of the Shenxia Jiuli Ship, Song Chi laughed softly. He added, “An intermediate-rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone]. This is a good start!”
...
Paying no mind to the looks from those around him, he produced a [Ruins Market Walking Rank] token. Upon its activation, he vanished from the [Shenxia Jiuli Ship].
“His warship avatar has one, and he has one too? That Greedy Wolf is a real piece of work!” “It’s certain now; Greedy Wolf has some secret deal with the Lord of the All Heavens Ruins Market.” “I’ve heard that every member of the Dragon Spine Song Family at the Fearless Captain rank or higher possesses a ruins market token; what an incredible display of wealth!”
...
Song Chi was oblivious to the gossip. His entry into the All Heavens Ruins Market served two purposes: to collect the intermediate-rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] retrieved by the mirror image warship and to assess the gains from the distributed tokens. Although the market featured a “Mind Control” ability that allowed for total oversight even from the outside, managing the mirror image warship required the bulk of his spiritual energy. Monitoring thousands of token rooms individually would have drained his mental reserves too quickly. It was more efficient to enter the market personally. Furthermore, the mythical power of the market ensured his control over the distant mirror image warship remained perfect.
As Song Chi materialized within the All Heavens Ruins Market, the realm acknowledged its master, with the dome’s mythical rules beginning to circulate. With a wave of his hand, a door on the fourth floor of the Ruin Market Inn swung open, and the [Chaos Mirror Image Stone] flew into his grip.
“It really is an intermediate-rank [Chaos Mirror Image Stone]…” He traced the natural patterns on the stone, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. This grade of stone could mimic three-colored mythical wonders. Even with his current stock, its worth was undeniable. It would be invaluable for mirroring three-colored promotion fire sources or strategic colorful components later on.
After putting the stone away, Song Chi’s mind worked rapidly, projecting hundreds of split-screen views representing the interiors of the various ruins market walking rooms.
“Oh?” His interest was piqued by the seventy-second room on the third floor. On the screen, an incomplete ancient bronze plate floated; its primitive, unrefined etchings suggested it was no ordinary relic. Additionally, in the 875th room on the second floor, two Starry Sea Oddities had appeared, one of which was a three-colored variety. Furthermore, the 2480th room contained a cluster of light that Song Chi recognized as a highly prized Tenth Rank Mythical Soul.
Observing these developments, a look of joy crossed his face. After all, he would receive a portion of all these treasures.
