Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1852 - 900: [Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate] and [Eight Mystical Transformation Art]
Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...
Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, Heavenly Ruins Continent, Dragon Spine Divine Mountain Guest Hall.
Clad in a robe adorned with stars, the Beidou Star Lord had faint starlight swirling around his form. His spectral energy, now at the senior ninth rank, intensified the formidable presence he exuded without effort. Still, right then, the eagerness and tension on his face were impossible to hide.
In the middle of the hall, he remained motionless, awaiting Song Chi's arrival with deep respect.
Before much time passed, a ripple in space caught the Beidou Star Lord's attention, as a silhouette materialized silently high above the vast chamber.
"Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall·Beidou Star Lord, greets His Majesty Emperor Song!"
Song Chi gave a subtle nod, signaling that such rituals weren't needed.
"What prompted you to call for this audience?"
After the question, the Beidou Star Lord bent low once more, showing utmost humility:
"Yes, forgive the disturbance, but the Beidou lineage has a plea for Your Majesty and seeks your understanding."
With a flick of his sleeve, Song Chi sent a soft power to raise the Beidou Star Lord: "Skip the formalities; we've been acquainted for ages, so just say what's on your mind."
Drawing in a steady breath, the Beidou Star Lord gazed at Song Chi with burning intensity:
"Very well, my thanks, Your Majesty. Through thousands of years of schemes, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall has drained its reserves, at last pushing one ninth rank enslaved beast to the ninth rank's pinnacle. Yet, pushing toward the mythical rank proves incredibly tough. We're here for a {Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill} this time. Please, Your Majesty, bestow it upon us with your grace!"
Here, the Beidou Star Lord lowered his head again, his voice filled with earnest plea:
"This pill holds the key for our Beidou lineage to hold onto Immortal Giant status, safeguarding our twenty thousand years of legacy. I beg Your Majesty to grant this wish; the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall will offer whatever cost is required."
Song Chi kept his face steady, feeling no shock inside.
While he'd already resolved to provide the pill, he wouldn't hand it over for nothing. After a brief pause, he replied deliberately:
"As you know, crafting the {Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill} is no easy task. Even using the supreme arts of the Lord of All Heavens Ruins Market, it's not something made lightly, demanding huge costs..."
"Fear not, Your Majesty; the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall understands full well!" the Beidou Star Lord replied swiftly. "For this visit, I've consulted the hall masters and Star Venerables already, and we're prepared to trade two treasures for that divine pill!"
Turning his hand over, he unveiled a small item the size of a palm, crafted as if from cosmic dust, bearing the Big Dipper constellation etching and subtle illusions of landscapes and peaks, manifesting as a relic array disk.
Vast, enigmatic spatial waves pulsed from the array disk, with vibrant glows flowing around it, clearly marking its level as colorful upper rank.
"This stands as one of the protective treasures of our Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall, the {Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate}. Our hall offers its exclusive mirroring chance."
Hearing that, Song Chi extended his hand to draw the five-hued marvel closer, quickly grasping its full properties.
{Oddity: Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate}
{Quality: Colorful/Upper}
{Convertible: No}
{Unique Effect: {Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array}}
{Note: The ancient Heaven and Earth Array plate of the Nine Heavens Qiankun Immortal Sect’s sect-protecting formation, possessing formidable defensive might.}
...
{Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array: Based on the integrated Starry Sea Floating Land as a foundation, referencing the Floating Land Shield, it evolves a layer that intermingles with the original Floating Land Shield into a dual-layered Qiankun array. This Qiankun array’s defensive energy level exceeds the normal Floating Land Shield five times, the shield’s recovery speed is doubled, and shield energy value is doubled.}
Having examined the details displayed, Song Chi's eyes gleamed with interest. Undoubtedly, this treasure, though unfit for conversion into vessel parts, held immense worth, outshining many peers of its grade.
In time, by fusing it straight into the Heavenly Ruins Continent's Origin Core, the continent's external barrier could transform into the {Qiankun Array}, boasting power well beyond its former strength.
Furthermore, should the Heavenly Ruins Continent advance to Star Continent status, the boost from this would grow even more daunting, capable of withstanding all-out strikes from multiple eleventh rank mythical beings with ease.
Already, this initial offering stirred strong desire in Song Chi, yet shortly after, the Beidou Star Lord presented a second artifact: a luminous scroll etched with myriad fine symbols, resembling neither metal nor stone.
"The next treasure is our Beidou lineage's elite Floating Land Origin Core division method – the {Eight Profound Transformation Derivation Technique}."
"At full strength, this art summons eight arcane powers, dividing the Floating Land Origin Core into eight segments to foster eight Starry Sea wonders at once. While it falls short of the ultimate arts that split into nine limits or ten realms, it's scarce across the Starry Sea, greatly exceeding typical division arts."
Song Chi's eyes swept across the {Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate} and the scroll holding the {Eight Profound Transformation Derivation Technique}, a subtle thrill rising within him.
Had it been just the {Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate}, some doubts might have lingered. In the end, it provided only one mirroring slot, not a direct swap of the treasure itself, requiring him to supply a High Rank {Chaos Mirror Image Stone}.
However, the added {Eight Profound Transformation Derivation Technique} swept away all reservations, leading him to accept the exchange without delay.
Across more than ten thousand years, thanks to the All Heavens Ruins Market's advantages, he'd gathered various Floating Land Origin Core division secrets, though the Heavenly Ruins Continent currently employed the {Five Qi Splitting Light Technique} secured amid Origin Star operations. At present, the continent's Floating Land Origin Core divides into five portions, having supplanted the prior {Three-Part Rejuvenation Technique}.
Nevertheless, that setup felt a bit lacking still.
Starting from the {Dragon Whale Hall} and {Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding} early on, followed by gains like the seven-colored {Candle Dragon Axe} and five-colored {Floating Light and Shadow Platform}, the available slots now left just one final opening.
