Chapter 1093 - 579: The Work of the Song Family
[Giant Whale King], to this one, the Torch Ship Captain of the Tianqi Kingdom is all too familiar.
[Giant Whale King]’s real name is Sun Changjing, and the Sun Clan behind him is one of the several Immortal Clans in the Tianqi Kingdom. The clan follows the Golden Horn Giant Whale’s legacy and is a prominent existence among the Immortal Clans of the Tianqi Kingdom.
Faced with this inquiry, the Luo Clan’s Ultimate Fearless Captain naturally had to respond.
“To the Honorable Giant Whale King, this [Dark Star Mysterious Turtle Armor], after being enhanced to level 70, can link up to fifty thousand warships at a time. It boosts both the Energy Shield Shield Value and Warship Armor Protection Value by 50%, with a duration of 40 minutes.”
Upon hearing his reply, a sigh seemingly inadvertently came from the box above.
“Fifty thousand, it stands at the bottom among silver strategic-level components, what a pity…”
The tone seemed offhand, but the true implication was known only to the [Giant Whale King] himself.
In the box where the Song Family was located, Song Yan glanced at the side box and then shook his head, saying:
“It seems the Chigu Luo Family is in a bit of trouble, as the other Immortal Clans of the Tianqi Kingdom have clearly not acknowledged it.”
Compared to what Song Yan was concerned about, Song Wujiang’s eyes were always on that [Dark Star Mysterious Turtle Armor] component below.
“We won’t concern ourselves with these matters. What do you think of this silver strategic-level component?”
Song Chi: “Ancestor, I believe we must acquire it. Our family does not yet have such a collective enhancement component. Since the Chigu Luo Family is willing to auction it, we must secure it.”
On this, Song Yan had the same view.
Such strategic-level components for collective enhancement are extremely rare, and once they appear, powers of all factions will seize them at any cost, leaving no chance for other forces.
This time, because the Luo family is going all in, this type of component could be seen in this auction. If they miss this opportunity, who knows how long it will be before they see another.
On the auction stage below, the Luo Clan’s Ultimate Fearless Captain seemed to have completely ignored the [Giant Whale King]’s murmuring from above and quickly spoke for himself:
“Ladies and Gentlemen, this [Dark Star Mysterious Turtle Armor] is a strategic-level component. In about ten years, a civilization war will break out. Having such a component means what for a clan gate, I don’t need to say more. Now everyone can offer their prices freely!”
The Luo Clan elder’s passionate speech originally anticipated successive bidding.
However, the final result was like slapping a few loud slaps on the faces of the Luo clan members standing in various places of the auction. No one dared to bid at the moment.
On this, many Torch Ship Captains who, like the three from the Song family, had come from other river systems, were slightly stunned.
“Is it just one Immortal Clan speaking, and the deterrence is so significant?”
For these people’s doubts, an experienced captain quickly explained:
“You’re completely wrong. Although only the Honorable [Giant Whale King] spoke, this actually represents the collective attitude of the other Immortal Clans in the kingdom, otherwise, it wouldn’t have such an influence.”
Just when the Luo family members looked extremely upset, someone finally broke the silence in the auction.
“Fifty threads of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin.”
However, this did not bring any joy to the faces of the Chigu Luo family members; instead, their expressions worsened.
Although the speaker was no longer the [Giant Whale King], the voice still came from the box where he was located, evidently a junior member of the Sun family speaking.
As such, there were still no other captains daring to compete with the bid.
Just when the atmosphere in the venue was becoming increasingly bizarre, a voice was heard from the Song family’s box.
“Ancestor, if this continues, what is the meaning of our attendance here at this auction? Are we just here for nothing?”
This was indeed Song Yan’s voice, but deliberately, by Song Wujiang, it wasn’t isolated by the Law Force Field and instead resonated clearly throughout the auction hall.
With this statement, a voice quickly followed.
“Hahaha, well said, we have traveled from afar, not to watch a play put on by your Tianqi Kingdom’s internal affairs.”
This laughter similarly emerged from one of the twelve boxes at the top, also with a Star-Annihilating Starship personally present.
With the two sides agreeing, the atmosphere in the auction hall finally recovered somewhat. Then, the laughter sounded again.
“The Tuoba Royal Family bids one Gold Energy Shield.”
Upon hearing this, Song Wujiang quickly followed:
“One Gold Space Expansion Component.”
Compared to the same-rank Energy Shield, with the civilization war about to start, logistics and transportation will be paramount for all factions, a Gold Sanctuary Quality Space Expansion Component is slightly more valuable.
With the bids of the two, subsequently, many captains began to offer prices, but mostly from those backed by Immortal Powers, whereas ordinary gate forces still dared not make offers.
However, as time passed, the Chigu Luo family’s side had not spoken.
This auction is not the kind where the highest price wins. It also depends on the Luo family’s own desires. If there isn’t what they want, they can directly pass the bidding.
Previously, the Sun family actually had this exact thought, to prevent the Luo family from obtaining more additional upgrading resources, thereby causing this upgrade to fail, rather than forcibly buying the [Dark Star Mysterious Turtle Armor] with fifty threads of Seventh Rank Floating Land Origin, which would be too extravagant otherwise.
Upon seeing the Luo family having the intention to pass the auction, Song Wujiang’s voice rang out again from the Song family box.
“One Sixth-Order [Time Realm Fruit]!”
As soon as he uttered these words, a gleam of light appeared in the eyes of the Luo family’s Ultimate Fearless Captain on the auction stage, and he quickly said:
“Deal, this [Dark Star Mysterious Turtle Armor] is now acquired by His Majesty the [King of Dinghai]!”
Phew!
You could see that all members of the Luo family present let out a sigh of relief.
At the same time, Song Chi and Song Yan, seated high in a box, also quickly heard the noisy discussions from below.
“Time Realm Fruit? If I remember correctly, this is a special resource that grants a warship a second chance at upgrade, right?”
“Yes, with this Sixth-Order [Time Realm Fruit], the previous entry-level Seventh-Order Evil God Blood, plus the Luo family themselves gathering the special resource formula required for the Fearless Ship to upgrade to the Star-Annihilating Starship, and bathing in high-rank alien blood, the Luo family’s success rate in breaking through to the Star-Annihilating Starship doesn’t seem low this time.”
“No, you missed one point, there’s also the law comprehension’s support.”
…
In the box, Song Chi showed a trace of confusion in his eyes, yet with the ancestor just beside him, he was not embarrassed to ask directly:
“Ancestor, how does self-comprehended law enhance the breakthrough to the Star-Annihilating Starship? I recall that previously Ancestor didn’t seem to receive any enhancement in the success rate from this aspect!”
He had heard of this saying before, but seemingly, when [Dinghai Dragon Steed] was upgrading last time, it did not touch on this point, so he really wasn’t clear about it.
Song Wujiang shook his head and explained:
“The Torch Ship Captain’s self-comprehended laws can indeed increase the success rate of breaking through to the Star-Annihilating Starship, but it has a major limitation, which is the comprehension degree of the law must exceed 90%.”
“If before the flagship breaks through to the Star-Annihilating Starship, one can elevate the law comprehension degree to above 90%, for ordinary laws like metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, each 1% increase above 90% can raise the corresponding upgrade success rate.”
“Whereas for the Supreme Laws of Time and Space, each 1% increase can boost the upgrade success rate by 2%. I had a short duration of stabilization at the Sixth Rank, and my spatial law comprehension degree was only 85% when breaking through to the Star-Annihilating Starship, thus it hadn’t reached the enhancement threshold!”
Upon hearing this, Song Chi suddenly understood.
In this way, once his spatial law reaches 91% in the future, then the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong would gain a 2% increase in the upgrade success rate to the Star-Annihilating Starship, and if it’s 92%, it would be a 4% increase.
Thinking about this, Song Chi suddenly thought of another point.
“Ancestor, what if a captain comprehends both laws? If both laws are comprehended and both law comprehension degrees exceed 90%, can the success rates of the two be stacked?”
“Of course!”
With this confirmation, Song Chi’s interest in law comprehension heightened considerably.
Over these decades, with the support of a colorful upper-level component, [Time Chess Board], alongside multiple enhancements such as the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, Starry Sky Throne, and Enlightenment Meditation Mat·Fake, his spatial law has already reached 74%, and the law of light is even close to 80%.
Subsequently, coupled with the “Space Divine Crystal” that can be produced from the [Cultivation Secret Realm], the possibility of pushing both laws to above 90% before the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s breakthrough to the Star-Annihilating Starship is indeed not small.
While his mind was racing, the auction continued as usual.
Besides the [Dark Star Mysterious Turtle Armor] component, the four subsequent centerpiece auction items were all extremely rare objects.
Among them included a golden sanctuary quality component.
The grand finale auction item was precisely Song Wujiang’s aim this time.

{Time Crown·Secondary Time Reverse: Consumes 100,000 Spectral Energy Points to make a small area outside a designated warship enter a time reverse state, currently can reverse up to 2s, with a constant cooldown of 1 year.}
As for this component, Song Wujiang was determined to acquire it; however, after its auction officially began, he didn’t rush to bid.
