Chapter 688: Chapter 361: Return to the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment_2 Chapter 688: Chapter 361: Return to the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment_2 The fact proved that he had been somewhat overcautious; a new fire-attribute serpentine beast had taken over the Flame Parasol Tree.

Its rank was mighty, almost a half-step Fifth Rank, coiling its body around the tree, presenting a significant threat to other creatures.

However, Song Chi didn’t see it that way.

It had been only about two years since that Heavenly Demon Phoenix had been slain, and he believed it was very likely that other Heavenly Demon Phoenixes had not yet discovered that the Flame Parasol Tree had changed hands.

Otherwise, the Phoenix would not be intimidated by a serpentine beast of the same rank.

Their ancestors were beings that stood shoulder to shoulder with true dragons; how could they be afraid of snake-kind, far less significant than even lowly flood dragons?

Disappointed, Song Chi shook his head.

He left a Third Rank humanoid alien race here to keep him informed of the situation with the Flame Parasol Tree before continuing to steer the Cangqiong towards other regions of the secret realm.

The Spirit Beast Secret Realm was large enough to rival a Fourth Rank Starry Sea Floating Land, which meant the search would not be a short endeavor.

Song Chi handed over the warship’s control to the Dome Sky Intelligent Brain and sat himself on the Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform.

While continuing to digest resources for strengthening his physique, his consciousness shifted toward a brand new component on the warship.

Secret Realm Binder lv40

Quality: Purple

Feature: Secret Realm Entrance Creator

Consumption: 10,000/usage

Binding: None

…

Indeed, it was the Secret Realm Binder component, which was previously removed undamaged from his grandfather’s flagship, the “Furious Battle Mad Lion,” using the Tri-Eye Soul Solidifying Ring.

This particular component was obtained from the destruction of the Tros Family, and it even came with a bonus “Dragon Blood Mystic Realm.”

Now, the binder’s connection to the Dragon Blood Mystic Realm had been removed, which was already under full control by their lineage; losing the component wouldn’t affect their dominion over the realm.

Song Chi brought this component with him this time to attempt binding it to the Spirit Beast Secret Realm beneath his feet.

Although he knew the chances of success were extremely low—had it been that easy to take over this realm, the Golden Horn Lu Family would have moved it to their ancestral lands long ago—he couldn’t believe they didn’t possess a similar component to the Secret Realm Binder.

Yet, Song Chi had to give it a try.

What if?

The “Spirit Oath” he signed with the Lu Family prohibited any form of disclosure about the existence of the Spirit Beast Secret Realm but didn’t restrict his personal intentions toward it.

If he could bind the entrance of the secret realm to the Dragon Spine Continent with the Secret Realm Binder, and then completely seal the original entrance to the realm, it would become his personal domain after a thousand years.

As the Secret Realm Binder component got activated and specified the Spirit Beast Secret Realm to be bound, the part successfully established a connection to the Secret Realm.

No smile appeared on his face; this was only the first step.

The subsequent second step was crucial.

Song Chi summoned the Cangqiong and, using the Ruins Market as a transit point, returned to the Dragon Spine Continent.

Inside the Warship Summoning Room beneath Green Moon Manor, Song Chi inwardly uttered “as expected.”

The installed Secret Realm Binder component was dim and clearly incapable of activating on the Dragon Spine Continent, let alone opening a new secret realm entrance.

Having been prepared mentally, Song Chi’s unease didn’t last long as he re-entered the Ruins Market and quickly returned to the Spirit Beast Secret Realm.

Since the Secret Realm Binder component was ineffective, Song Chi’s next step was singular: to thoroughly search for the whereabouts of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

However, this did not mean he had completely given up on the Spirit Beast Secret Realm.

Currently, the Purple Quality Secret Realm Accelerator was ineffective.

What about the Orange Quality?

Let’s not forget that inside the cultivation secret realm aboard the Cangqiong, there also was the restored Fifth Rank Level Silver Apple Mother Tree.

Once the Fifth Rank Silver Apples ripened, he could directly upgrade the Quality of the Secret Realm Accelerator component to Orange.

If Orange Quality still doesn’t work, then he would wait for the Cangqiong to upgrade to the Zhulu Warship and the cultivation secret realm to strengthen to the Sixth Rank; with the Silver Apple Mother Tree recovering to the Sixth Rank Level, the Sixth Rank Silver Apples would allow him to upgrade the Secret Realm Accelerator component to Red.

Thus, Song Chi believed that he would eventually be able to pry open this “Spirit Beast Secret Realm.”

No matter how powerful the sealing capabilities of the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment, it was still just a rootless, drifting piece, with its own limits.

As long as the components’ Quality was high enough and the position was lofty enough, it would surely be possible to disregard its seals.

This point had already been demonstrated to Song Chi by the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

Without further thought, in the time that followed, Song Chi continued to independently refine and temper his physique with various resources while commanding the Dome Sky Intelligent Brain to roam within the “Spirit Beast Secret Realm” with the Cang Qiong.

Because the real video footage of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix had been recorded during the previous venture with several people from the Lu family, there was no concern that the Dome Sky Intelligent Brain would fail to recognize it.

And so, time slowly passed.

One day, Song Chi suddenly rose from the Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform.

It wasn’t that the Dome Sky Intelligent Brain had found traces of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, but rather that he had successfully refined all the resources for enhancing his physique.

A month and a half had passed since he had entered this “Spirit Beast Secret Realm” again, and he finally had refined all the resources for strengthening his physique that he had obtained from the Family Merit Hall and the Ruins Marketplace Exchange.

At this moment, Song Chi felt as though he possessed endless strength and the slight headaches that occasionally appeared in his mind had completely disappeared.

Compared with the “Twenty-one Uses With One Mind” Divine Thought State Spiritual mind, his physical body was now fully capable of bearing this spiritual essence.

Thinking this, he shifted his mind and entered into the Ruins Market.

In the Ruins Market’s special configuration area, Song Chi slowly stepped onto the “Bloodline Baptism Altar.” He was somewhat curious about just how much his Bloodline Baptism Compatibility had reached after refining a large number of strength-enhancing resources.

[Genetic Bloodline Talent:31]

[Bloodline Baptism Compatibility:68]

Seeing the number 68, a glint of joy appeared in Song Chi’s eyes.

Although not yet meeting the minimum requirement for a Bloodline Baptism, it was clear to everyone that with the refinement of some more physique-strengthening resources, this Compatibility value would certainly break through the 70-point barrier.

Therefore, he did not rush back to the Spirit Beast Secret Realm but instead activated the Spatial Anchor Point left in the Dragon Spine Continent.

The strengthening resources in the Merit Tower had been completely exchanged by him, but he had already posted a high-price purchase post on the family forum.

Once he opened his Quantum Communication Bracelet, sure enough, there were numerous messages.

However, Song Chi glanced over most of them, only checking the High Rank ones.

After absorbing a large amount of Low-Level and Intermediate strength-enhancing resources, ordinary strength-enhancement resources were unlikely to be effective for him anymore.

He needed those of exceedingly high Quality.

Of course, such resources were obviously extremely rare.

Among the many private messages, Song Chi saw only five.

In the end, he traded a considerable amount of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin to obtain these five High-Level resources for physically enhancing his physique.

Ten days later, after fully using these five resources, Song Chi returned to the Ruins Market.

On the “Bloodline Baptism Altar,” a light flickered in Song Chi’s eyes.

Finally, his Bloodline Baptism Compatibility reached 70 points.

Though he just barely met the qualifying standard, he was now able to attempt the lowest level of Bloodline Baptism.

Song Chi, standing on the stone altar, did not hesitate; he directly activated the Primary Bloodline Baptism Effect.

Clearly, it was improbable to significantly enhance his physique in the short term.

This also meant that it would be difficult for him to raise his Compatibility to above 80 points, so he activated the Primary Bloodline Baptism without any hesitation.

Furthermore, there was another most important reason: the Baptisms on this “Bloodline Baptism Altar” were not limited to just one attempt, but one could undergo Baptism for all three types.

After this first Baptism, if his Compatibility was high enough in the future, Song Chi could entirely proceed with the Intermediate and even High-Level Bloodline Baptisms once again.
