Chapter 1197: Chapter 638: The Magnificent Transformation of 【Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform】 (2nd update)

Just as Song Chi’s thoughts were becoming increasingly chaotic, a massive force suddenly descended upon the hull of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

The "Virtual and Real Conversion" of the [Void Sea Projection Emperor Tomb] had expired.

After a dizzying whirl, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong disappeared from the mountain space and reappeared in the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

At the moment of returning to the market, his thoughts were reined in as well.

Immediately, he focused all his spiritual force, attempting to communicate via mind sound transmission with the Sixth Rank Robber Star Race and Seventh Rank Nightmare Soul Body left on the Immortal Realm Continent, but in the end, there was no response at all.

"Even with the quality of the [Heavenly Authority Control Ring], it’s being heavily restricted by the Immortal Realm Continent..."

Confirming this, he felt fortunate that the [Void Sea Projection Emperor Tomb] was of Black Ultimate Quality; otherwise, this action would have been difficult to achieve from the start.

"No, given the status of the Immortal Realm Continent itself as part of the Star Continent, even a Black Ultimate Oddity would likely be significantly affected. The main reason why the warship projection could be successfully deployed is probably that both the Immortal Realm Continent and Zhu Tian Ruins Market are located in the Void Sea Dark Side Space, which alone removes most of the restrictions..."

...

Time passed, and during the cooldown period of the [Mirror Image Splitting] component, Song Chi continued to cultivate the Guidance Technique using various resources and did not neglect the soul devouring accumulation on the [Soul Devouring Altar].

However, under the dual cooldown reductions of the [Time Chess Board] and the [Purusa Zen Seal], the cooldown time of the Mirror Image Splitting feature wasn’t as long as imagined.

This also meant that Song Chi did not make any breakthrough progress on either front.

That day, the door of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room opened once again, and Song Chi, who was still at level 68 in Guidance Technique, walked out.

This time, exiting seclusion wasn’t because the "Mirror Image Splitting" feature’s cooldown was complete, but because there was another matter.

After a trip to the market, upon returning, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong had already been summoned back from the outside world.

Under the Ruin Market Firmament, in the quietly suspended Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Main Control Room, as soon as Song Chi entered the warship, his figure disappeared directly.

At the same time, inside the [Cultivation Secret Realm], beneath a ten-thousand-meter White Jade Tree, Song Chi’s figure quietly emerged.

Following his upward gaze, a completely translucent White Jade Fruit hung overhead, and from the strands of Origin Law of Time it emitted, it was clear that this [Time Realm Fruit] had fully matured.

Gazing at this [Time Realm Fruit], even with Song Chi’s current perspective, waves of emotion still surged within his heart.

This [Time Realm Fruit] isn’t like those Fourth Rank, Fifth Rank, or Sixth Rank [Time Realm Fruits]; it was nurtured by a Seventh Rank [Time Realm Tree], and such an unremarkable fruit was enough to drive all the Annihilation Starship Captains of the Torch Human Civilization mad with desire.

Threads of spectral energy surged from within Song Chi’s body, and soon this Seventh Rank [Time Realm Fruit] was successfully picked by him.

After leaving the [Cultivation Secret Realm], Song Chi very carefully stowed away this Seventh Rank [Time Realm Fruit].

On careful calculation, more than five hundred years had passed since the first Seventh Rank [Time Realm Fruit] was picked, and only with the continuous acceleration of the "Secret Realm Accelerator" feature was this second one successfully produced, a difficulty that cannot be overstated.

After safely storing the [Time Realm Fruit], Song Chi did not return to the All-Attributes Cultivation Room for seclusion. With only two or three days left for the [Mirror Image Splitting] component’s cooldown to complete, Song Chi couldn’t be bothered to retreat again.

...

Inside the temporary base within the Immortal Realm Continent mountain, as a strong golden light surged from the hull of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, a nearly identical mirror image warship quickly floated into existence alongside it.

After this, Song Chi quickly recalled the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s main body, then his figure disappeared directly into the mountain interior.

As for the subsequent control of the mirror image warship, Song Chi entrusted it entirely to the recreated [Dome Sky Wisdom Brain].

Before leaving, he gave the recreated [Dome Sky Wisdom Brain] only one task, which was to retrieve the other half of the [Immeasurable Sword Stone] at the designated coordinates.

As for remotely controlling the mirror image warship, this was clearly a hassle.

The "Bridge of the Mind" feature conferred by the golden quality [Heavenly Authority Control Ring] component was blocked, and the [Ethereal Body] family secret technique naturally was the same.

As for the real-time remote control feature of the [Mirror Image Splitting] component itself, don’t forget that the [Mirror Image Splitting] itself is merely a golden component, and naturally cannot escape the repulsive force of the Star Continent itself.

In this situation, he could only occasionally have the Sixth Rank Robber Star Race from the mirror image warship return to the Ruins Market Walking Room to report on the status of the mirror image warship in person.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, a year had gone by.

On this day, the [Ruins Market Walking Rank] held by the Sixth Rank Robber Star Race suddenly trembled, and upon sensing this change, the Robber Star Race quickly activated the energy within, and soon vanished from inside the mirror image warship.

In the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, estimating that the time was roughly right to summon, Song Chi quickly received a piece of not-too-good news.

In that year, the mirror image warship had not covered even half of the more than eight hundred thousand light-years distance, currently having barely jumped over three hundred thousand light-years.

"The Immortal Domain’s Remnant Clan, huh..."

Upon hearing the information described by the Robber Star Race, Song Chi quickly captured the key points within.

According to this Sixth Rank Robber Star Race, throughout the year, the Mirror Image Warship encountered several other living beings multiple times. Most of these creatures claimed to be the remnants of the Immortal Domain’s Remnant Clan, outwardly resembling ordinary cultivators from the Primordial Continent, yet they exhibited intense malice towards other living beings.

These Immortal Domain’s Remnant Clan were formidable in combat, not only able to wield various spells and Tao skills but also had the Origin Will of the Immortal Realm Continent as a reinforcement. If not for the Mirror Image Warship retaining the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s impressive combat power, it would have long been sunk under the attacks of these remnants.

Despite this, the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain could only try to avoid the territory of these Immortal Domain’s Remnant Clan, as there were indeed Seventh Rank or even Eighth Rank beings among them.

After understanding these points, Song Chi retrieved a black Projection Emperor Stone and handed it to the Sixth Rank Robber Star Race, then let it exit the Ruins Market.

After learning of the many dangers on the Immortal Realm Continent, although he himself was increasingly unwilling to venture there recklessly, supporting the Mirror Image Warship with Warship Projection posed no problem, as long as he didn’t easily use the "Virtual and Real Transformation" feature, there wouldn’t be a threat to his safety within the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

...

"Immortal Domain’s Remnant Clan, could they be the forces inherited from the cultivators who once survived from the Immortal Realm Civilization?"

"No, according to what the Robber Star Race said, malice, bloodlust... These are certainly not characteristics of the Immortal Realm Civilization. They seem more like those cultivators encountered some special pollution, or even mutation... Could it be that the original force that struck against the Immortal Realm Civilization was perhaps a highly positioned Evil God? Or did the Immortal Realm Civilization offend some group of Demon Gods in the Invincible Abyss?"

After the departure of the Robber Star Race, Song Chi contemplated many things, yet there was no one to answer his questions.

However, Song Chi had an inexplicable intuition that the truth of what the Immortal Realm Civilization encountered might largely be found from these so-called Immortal Domain’s Remnant Clan.

He waited for half a year afterward, initially believing he would receive a projection summon from the Mirror Image Warship. However, the reality brought him a small surprise.

On a day half a year later, commotion arose from a walking room on the third floor of the Ruins Market Inn.

Song Chi appeared immediately at the door of this Walking Room because this Walking Room corresponded to the Ruins Market Walking Command in the hands of the Sixth Rank Robber Star Race on the Immortal Realm Continent.

Several minutes later, when Song Chi once again stepped out of the Walking Room, he was holding an item in his hand.

A sword stone emitting golden light.

Perhaps due to the misfortune that erupted in the previous year, the Mirror Image Warship was surprisingly smooth in this half year, not only avoiding new encounters with the Immortal Domain’s Remnant Clan but also easily obtaining the other half of the Immeasurable Sword Stone.

Leaving the inn, Song Chi’s gaze fixed on the half piece of sword stone in his hand, and soon its golden oddity attributes appeared in his eyes.

[Oddity: Immortal Trapping Sword Stone]

[Quality: Gold]

[Convertible: {Immortal Trapping Sword Cannon}]

[Remark: A once-transmitted immortal artifact of the Taiyi Immortal Gate on the Immortal Realm Continent, nourished over countless millennia, eventually transforming into a golden oddity. However, it seems to have some flaws.]

"Immortal Trapping Sword Stone, huh..."

His gaze flashed, and Song Chi instantly conjured many thoughts.

The most profound of these naturally pertained to the myths and legends of his previous life.

If he remembered correctly, the Immortal Trapping Sword was one of the four immortal swords that composed the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, renowned in his previous life.

"Could it actually be the legendary Immortal Trapping Sword?"

His breathing slightly heavier, his footsteps didn’t stop, heading straight towards the nearby Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong.

As for the attributes of the Immortal Trapping Sword Cannon, he didn’t waste time looking; it would change when fused with the Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform anyway, no need to waste time.

In front of the Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform, Song Chi presented the golden Immortal Trapping Sword Stone, and as the two touched, Song Chi felt the entire Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong begin to tremble violently.

Then the two started to fuse, silver and golden lights interwoven, causing Song Chi to squint his eyes tightly.

This process lasted a full three hours, and when the dazzling light within the warship dissipated, Song Chi finally reopened his eyes.

But what he saw before him was somewhat unexpected; the originally well-loaded Taiyi Quantum Sword Light Cannon Platform had unknowingly automatically unloaded, quietly suspended in front of him.

Moreover, most striking was that the glow emitted from this new component was no longer silver or gold but the higher quality Eternal Dark Black Light.

Song Chi’s gaze fixed on this component, and soon a new attribute panel popped up before his eyes.

Infinite Immortal Trapping Quantum Star Annihilation Cannon lv0

Quality: Black
