Chapter 1062 - 560: [Golden Spark Artifact]_2
Moreover, it’s not just him who currently needs the Golden Upgrading Fire Source; the Old Patriarch and Song Yan also require it.
Recovering their composure, the two quickly parted ways. Before returning to Green Moon Manor, Song Chi first sent [Zhong Yu] to a Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin Eruption Eye located somewhere on Dragon Spine Continent. In such an energy-rich area, Zhong Yu’s chances of breakthrough would be significantly higher.
After handing over the [Flame God Fire Crystal] to Zhong Yu and summoning a Six-star Ancient Demon to guard him, Song Chi finally returned to Green Moon Manor.
…
Zhu Tian Ruins Market, above the Vault of Heaven.
The 160,000-meter-long Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong hovered silently. Inside the battleship’s main control room, atop the ethereal Golden Throne, Song Chi sat cross-legged on a [Enlightenment Meditation Mat·Fake], his eyes reflecting the shadow of double pupils as he quietly stared at a trace of Time Law at the front of the battleship.
Under multiple layers of augmentation, combined with the battleship’s internal [Time Chess Board] granting a “440%” insight bonus to Time Law, Song Chi’s Law Comprehension Degree for Time Law was visibly increasing at an astonishing rate.
Two years later, unmoving as a statue, bursts of radiant brilliance erupted deep within Song Chi’s pupils, and the shadow of double pupils in his eyes became more solid.
“Zhong Yu broke through; Sixth Rank [Double Pupils] are undoubtedly even stronger!”
Though his body remained still, Song Chi immediately understood the reason within his heart.
Without further distraction, he continued his Law comprehension.
In the third year, his Time Law Comprehension Degree officially surpassed 50%.
By the seventh year, his Time Law Comprehension Degree reached 51%.
It was at this point that he shifted his focus from Time Law comprehension to Space Law.
In the eighth year, his near-Major Achievement Space Law officially broke past 70%.
By mid-year of the tenth year, Space Law reached 71%.
Following that, he allocated the final six months to the Law of Light.
The Law of Light ultimately stabilized at 69.99%.
For reasons unknown, the Law of Light stubbornly refused to advance into Major Achievement.
During the final month of this accelerated Law comprehension period, Song Chi made a trip to the [Shaking Light Star Tower].
He utilized an opportunity he had just acquired for comprehending the [Shaking Light Chaos Stele].
Through this, he successfully advanced his Law of Light into Major Achievement.
With this, his ten years of seclusion tasks were essentially concluded.
…
Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong main control room.
Song Chi clenched the golden-quality [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] in his hand and, in one go, enhanced the component to Level 70.
Following this, he equipped the golden [Blood Battle Stele] and [Heavenly Frost Crown] onto the battleship. However, he did not enhance the latter two components yet, as he needed to conduct some tests beforehand.
Theoretically, [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] should be sufficient to resist tracking from the Shang Family, but theory is just theory. The true outcome would depend on practical testing results.
Taking a deep breath, Song Chi stored the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong within the Ancestral Torch and promptly exited the Ruins Market.
Obviously, he did not return to Dragon Spine Continent but instead headed to [Red Star Continent]’s Holy Light City—he wasn’t foolish.
If he were to conduct the test on Dragon Spine Continent and it failed, the family might be exposed to the Shang Family. As of now, the Song Family, which had just joined the ranks of Immortal Clans, could not afford to provoke the Shang Family, a colossal force with over 200,000 years of inheritance.
…
[Holy Light City], Taibai Shop.
Underground Warship Summoning Room.
It had been five years since the end of the accelerated Law comprehension period when he had first arrived on Red Star Continent.
During these five years, the Shang Family had not conducted any tracking operations, allowing Song Chi to wait in relative peace.
On this day, as usual, Song Chi was preparing to enter the Ruins Market for cultivation. However, before he could leave the warship, he sensed faint spatial fluctuations above his head.
Looking up, through the warship’s holographic exterior view, he saw a chain of mirror light shoot out from the void, heading straight for Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong at a speed so fast it left little time to react.
Fortunately, the [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] component he had previously equipped activated quicker. As the chain of mirror light was about to pierce through the warship’s triple-layered energy shield and latch onto the hull, the component’s surface emitted a strong golden glow.
Under the golden illumination, a phantom of a giant python emerged on the warship’s surface. When the mirror light chain touched this giant python phantom, it instantly dissolved, unable to reach the hull.
“It worked!”
Seeing this, Song Chi understood that the [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] component had successfully blocked the Shang Family’s tracking.
However, Song Chi did not believe this was enough. He once again stored the warship within the Ancestral Torch, disappearing from the Underground Warship Summoning Room.
Zhu Tian Ruins Market—Song Chi exited the Ruins Market once more.
This time, he still did not return to Dragon Spine Continent but instead headed to the Spatial Anchor Point he had left behind on Silver Disk Floating Land.
Silver Disk Floating Land, Silver Disc City, Taibai Shop.
In another Underground Warship Summoning Room, Song Chi continued the same operation he performed on [Red Star Continent], summoning the warship to anticipate the Shang Family’s next remote tracking attempt.
Although the previous success at [Holy Light City] managed to block the Shang Family’s tracking, it was worth noting that Holy Light City, located within [Red Star Continent], was over 120 billion light-years away from the Torch Human Civilization Territory. During that distance, the Shang Family’s mythical tracking methods might have suffered noticeable losses, which could impact the accuracy of the tracking.
This was the reason for Song Chi’s second test.
Fortunately, this time he did not have to wait long; the Shang Family’s next tracking attempt soon arrived.
Within Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] was triggered once again, causing a phantom of the python to reappear on the warship’s surface.
Inside the battleship’s main control room, Song Chi, using his Ethereal Body from a distance, watched nervously as the event unfolded—praying in silence.
It was evident that this time, the python phantom’s glow was significantly dimmer, suffering substantial energy loss from its clash with the mirror light chain.
However, this loss was inconsequential; what mattered was that [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] ultimately held firm. This indicated that as long as the Shang Family’s mythical tracking components did not undergo drastic changes, he would eventually be able to freely equip the golden [Blood Battle Stele] and [Heavenly Frost Crown] components.
“I hope the Shang Family won’t suddenly upgrade that mirror-based component…”
Muttering quietly, Song Chi’s eyes narrowed.
Although this was a lingering threat, if he could upgrade [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] to Eighth Rank beforehand, none of these possibilities would matter.
Inside the battleship’s main control room, Song Chi reappeared, his gaze immediately falling on two newly acquired golden components.
Finally, expending significant amounts of Titanium Crystal and related resources, including two Dominant True Spirits, he enhanced these two components to Level 70.
From Seventh Rank onwards, the attribute changes for the two components were dramatic. Previously, the [Mythical Giant Python’s Eternal Protection Scale] only had a single Unique Feature, so its attributes remained relatively consistent; however, these two components were different.
The first was the golden [Blood Battle Stele], which exhibited notable improvements across multiple attribute features:
{Blood Frenzy: For every unit of the same rank the warship bathes in blood, its firepower increases steadily by 30%, lasting for 30 minutes—a maximum of 20 stacks.}
{War Encouragement: Consumes 200,000 Spectral Energy Points, granting the designated unit a state of fervent battle spirit. Combat Power temporarily increases by 300%, lasting 60 minutes, with a cooldown time of 36 hours.}
As for the [Heavenly Frost Crown], its bonus to Ice Law comprehension and Ice Resistance required little elaboration; Song Chi primarily focused on its “Frost Cold Immobilization” feature:
{Frost Cold Immobilization: Consumes 200,000 Spectral Energy Points to unleash frost cold power, freezing the designated target for 9 seconds, with a cooldown time of 6 hours.}
Its single-use immobilization could already freeze enemies for up to 9 seconds. Although less overpowering than the “Zen Seal: External Time Stop” feature, it boasted a significantly shorter cooldown of just six hours. Considering the [Time Chess Board]’s 70% cooldown reduction, the cooldown period would be reduced to less than two hours.
