Chapter 995: Chapter 518: Time-Space Cultivation_2

Upon hearing his words, the three ancestors could hardly hide the smiles that appeared on their faces.

When he returned to the Dragon Abyss Hall on the Red Star Continent and heard the answer he gave, the three Song Shixings felt the same way.

Especially Song Shixing and Song Yao, both of them seem to have slightly moist eyes.

It’s no wonder they reacted so strongly; after all, they have been fighting alone in the Alien Star Domain for thousands of years. Due to the inconvenience of the back-and-forth travel, the exchange between the two branches had always been sparse, despite their best efforts to manage and instill the family’s legitimate line and the beliefs of the Dragon Spine Song Family into the upcoming generations.

As time went on, it was inevitable that the younger clan members developed various kinds of alienation and estrangement towards the Ancestral Vein far away in the Torch Human Civilization Territory.

In their view, if things continued like this, one day the connection between the Hidden Pulse and the legitimate line would be completely severed, something neither of them wished to see.

Now, with Song Chi’s ability, coupled with Dimension Space Stones, the outstanding younger generation in the family could be sent back to the Dragon Spine Continent at any time to nurture their affection for the family from a young age.

Only in this way could the development of the Hidden Pulse be brought back on track.

Amidst the joy, Song Yao suddenly said:

“Song Chi’s ability is of great importance; we cannot let it be exposed at all. In the future, when transporting people back and forth, we will take charge, and Song Chi can stay behind the scenes.”

Song Shixing and Song Yan quickly nodded in agreement, this was indeed the safest method.

Song Chi did not refuse either, as even the slightest chance of exposing the existence of the Ruins Market was absolutely unacceptable to him.

“Alright, let’s end here for today. Little Flame, you arrange for Little Pool to settle in. We’ll talk about everything else once the Starry Sky Dragon Shark has fully recovered.”

…

Time passed, and five years flew by in an instant.

Over these five years, Song Chi had gained a systematic understanding of the entire Dragon Abyss City, and he himself had undergone no small amount of change as well.

A year ago, the first batch of Superb Heavenly Star Grass in the planting room had fully matured. With the concoction efforts of the clan’s research institute, they successfully produced a batch of new Super-level Body Refining Potions. Although there were only a few hundred vials, with Song Chi’s current status, he successfully acquired five of them.

Using these five Super-level Body Refining Potions, he focused on cultivating the Guidance Technique within the past year. Finally, after a year of effort and using three Super-level Body Refining Potions + three Deep Water Clam Pearls, he successfully raised the Guidance Technique from lv54 to the peak of lv56, just one step away from lv57.

Originally, he had planned to break through to lv57 of the Guidance Technique in one fell swoop. The reason he decided to leave seclusion was not only because he was running low on thousand-year Deep Water Clam Pearls, and it would take tens of years for the next batch, but also because the Starry Sky Dragon Shark had just completely recovered yesterday and regained its full strength.

As such, it meant that the action plans that the family’s Hidden Pulse had previously arranged were now ready to be formally initiated.

Additionally, through relentless effort, he had successfully cultivated the secret technique Martial Arts Heavenly Eye to Minor Accomplishment. One must not overlook this point; with the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye ready to be activated at any time, he could now officially start comprehending the third Law.

Bursting out of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room at lv57, Song Chi headed to the free stall area.

He then summoned the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong. Once he boarded the warship, he headed straight for the Cultivation Secret Realm.

In the center of the Secret Realm, Song Chi stood close to the Green Water Spiritual Spring, looking up at the kilometer-tall White Jade Tree in front of him.

Seeing that the Time Realm Fruit hanging on it had fully matured, he harnessed the power of the Cultivation Secret Realm to easily pluck it.

When he got hold of this Time Realm Fruit, a hint of wonder appeared in Song Chi’s eyes; obtaining this fruit had indeed taken a lot of effort.

Even with the “Secret Realm Accelerator” feature, it still took a full eighty years.

Of course, the fruit in his hand is a Sixth Rank Time Realm Fruit. As for the three White Jade Trees on the side, they have already produced a round of fruit and are once again bearing; it should not take too long for him to harvest two more Fifth Rank Time Realm Fruits and one Fourth Rank Time Realm Fruit.

Song Chi didn’t linger in the Cultivation Secret Realm, and by the time he returned to the Battleship Main Control Room, there appeared three [Time Realm Fruits] of various sizes in front of him.

These three [Time Realm Fruits] were of the fifth, sixth, and seventh ranks respectively, and he was struggling with which one to use to transform the Time Law.

As for the fourth-rank [Time Realm Fruit], he directly ruled it out.

After much deliberation, Song Chi’s gaze eventually settled on the seventh-rank [Time Realm Fruit] to the far right; his gaze lingered there for a moment before it suddenly became resolute.

“Although the seventh-rank [Time Realm Fruit] is rare, once the Ruins Market is upgraded to the sixth rank, I will be able to transplant that seventh-rank [Time Realm Tree] into the Cultivation Secret Realm. With more time invested, I’ll be able to obtain it again. In comparison, both space and light Laws have reached intermediate achievement, to keep up, Time Law also has to reach intermediate achievement!”

After deciding, Song Chi no longer hesitated, stowing away the other two [Time Realm Fruits], and gripping the seventh-rank [Time Realm Fruit] in his hand.

Inside the battleship, Song Chi sat upright, fully focused on adjusting his state.

A few tens of minutes later, once he was certain his state was optimally adjusted, he swallowed the seventh-rank [Time Realm Fruit] without hesitation.

At a certain moment, the sense of time within the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong Control Room seemed to slow down; after continuing for a while, it suddenly accelerated again.

Meanwhile, a torrent of comprehension about the Time Law was surging in the depths of Song Chi’s mind, and there was no need for him to deliberately ponder on it. This comprehension was like an instinct, deeply engraving itself into his mind.

Two hours later, feeling an intense heaviness in his head, Song Chi rose from his meditative state, and after continuous absorption, he had successfully obtained the much-coveted Time Law.

As Spectral Energy circulated within his body and gathered at his brow, a radiant light flashed, and a vertical eye opened on Song Chi’s forehead. With the display of this [Martial Arts Heavenly Eye], one could clearly see the unstable power of the Time Law within.

Just as he had anticipated, the initial comprehension degree of the Time Law granted by the seventh-rank [Time Realm Fruit] was 40%.

In other words, the Time Law he had just acquired had immediately entered the threshold of intermediate achievement. If this were known to other living beings, they would surely be green with envy.

Song Chi then spent over ten minutes getting familiar with the newly mastered Time Law. It had to be said, the secret technique of [Martial Arts Heavenly Eye] was truly powerful; it completely separated the Time Law and the two Laws within his double pupils, without causing any conflict between them.

For this, Song Chi couldn’t be more satisfied.

After all, from this moment on, he could truly be considered a practitioner of both Time and Space, something extremely rare in the entire history of Torch Humanity.

After further familiarizing himself with the intermediate Time Law, he then turned his attention elsewhere.

In fact, besides the aforementioned reasons, there was a third factor for coming out of retreat this time.

Retrieving the battleship, he moved straight towards the inner side of the market along the central street.

When he arrived in front of the lv57-enhanced [Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform], Song Chi’s steps halted.

Yes, a new Ruins Market trade was completed and ready to be activated, awaiting his initiation.

As his thoughts shifted, the Ruins Market equipment, which had been silent for a month, was reactivated once more, with hundreds of light spots soaring into the sky, coursing through the Void Sea, spreading across different Star Domains within the Shattered Starry Sea.

It wasn’t long before an equal number of spatial vortex gateways manifested at the entrance of the Ruins Market.

At the same time, waves of spatial fluctuations emerged in the four-story inn next to the free vending area, with many Starry Sea Alien Race members holding [Ruins Market Tokens] appearing within the corresponding token rooms.

In just a few dozen minutes, the entire Ruins Market became bustling with activity.

As usual, Song Chi did not hold much expectation for this Ruins Market trade; after all, in the past seventy-plus years, the trades were nothing short of uneventful. Aside from the routine profits brought each time, there were absolutely no surprises.

However, this time a real twist occurred.
