GLOBAL ERA OF STAR TREKKING

Swiftly recalling the “Cang Qiong,” Song Chi pressed down the still unsettled, heavy panting and bowed towards the figure standing with their back to him.

“Young Song Chi pays his respects to the senior!”

The person in front of him did not reveal the slightest unusual aura; even under the view of his double pupils, there were no traces of spectral energy to be seen, as if the person truly were just an ordinary person.

However, it was precisely because of this that Song Chi felt even more respect.

How could someone be ordinary in a place like this?

And since they are not ordinary, the fact that not even the double pupils could detect any spectral energy inside their body was enough to attest to the other party’s terrifying power.

“Sit down!”

The other person did not turn around but merely spoke two words indifferently.

Song Chi did not dare to ask more and obediently went to sit beside the other person.

However, when he reached the edge of the mountain platform, he discovered that the other person wasn’t meditating or anything; rather, he was fishing.

Yes, fishing.

Beneath his feet, the towering mountain peak stood right in the middle of a giant lake. Looking down, the surrounding area was all an endless surface of water.

Looking at the elder beside him, he was holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand. What seemed to be just thumb-thick in his grip, once extended over the lake below, was actually hundreds of thousands of meters in length.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Song Chi still maintained absolute silence and sat cross-legged beside the elder at the spot.

Tens of minutes later, the elder lifted his fishing rod, and at that moment, mighty Space Law power suddenly emerged over his previously plain arm.

Song Chi’s heart trembled; if he wasn’t feeling wrong, the level of Spatial Law comprehension of this individual was perhaps even higher than his family’s Prime Ancestor.

Before he had time to ponder further, the mighty Space Law power wrapped around the bamboo rod, quickly spreading, and before Song Chi could react, a behemoth nearly twenty thousand meters in length was pulled up from underneath the vast lake.

Finally, with Song Chi watching with his own eyes, the dragon fish that was nearly twenty thousand meters in length began to shrink rapidly until by the time the elder pulled it up to the mountaintop, it had reduced to the length of a few dozen centimeters, as if the previously nearly twenty-thousand-meter long terrifying body was merely an illusion, and what was before his eyes now was its true size.

However, Song Chi was clear that everything that had just happened was real. At this moment, under his double pupils, he could clearly see the astonishingly rich blood essence contained within the body of the dragon fish.

“Come, lend a hand!”

Following the elder’s call, Song Chi started to make a fire on a stone stove not far away. The firewood that was used to start the fire was Spirit Wood, bearing a unique fragrance. After the two busied themselves for a while, a pot of milky white dragon fish soup was quickly ready.

“Try it, the taste should be quite good!”

The elder seemed quite confident in his culinary skills; and when Song Chi tasted the fish soup, he found that it was indeed the case. Not only was the dragon fish soup extremely delicious, but also…

Before he could ponder further, a warm current suddenly emerged in his abdomen and began to surge throughout his body, eventually converging deep within his mind.

Crack!

A crisp sound of breaking echoed, and Song Chi heard it clearly. This indicated that his Spiritual Force had obtained another breakthrough, advancing from twenty-two uses with one mind to twenty-three uses with one mind.

Even though the bottleneck between the two had already been cracked open, it was just an extremely fine line. Song Chi had originally thought that to truly break through to twenty-three uses with one mind, it might take several years; now, however, it was accelerated by several years because of a bowl of dragon fish soup. To say he wasn’t happy would be impossible.

After his Spiritual Force stabilized a bit, he quickly opened his eyes.

“Thank you…”

Just as he was about to express his gratitude, he suddenly felt an irresistible pulling force acting on his body, whisking him away from the mountaintop at great speed.

At the same time, he heard the elder’s voice by his ear.

“It was the youngsters below who begged for me to come and assess you. You’re not bad, little fellow. But if you ever dare to bully my girl in the future, I shall personally visit Dragon Spine Continent…”

The space transformed for a while, and when he came to his senses again, Song Chi found himself in an ancient and tranquil courtyard.

As his gaze returned, a petite body had already plunged into his arms.

Even though his vision was still a bit blurry, the familiar fragrance was enough for Song Chi to confirm the identity of the person in his arms at once.

“Ni’er!”

He gently called out, then raised his hand to embrace the delicate body in his arms tightly.

“Mhm!”

The girl responded with a soft voice.

Though he wanted to keep holding her, Song Chi did not ignore several smiling figures not too far away.

Releasing Shen Youran, he rubbed her blushing cheeks and quickly turned to salute Shen Wenjie and his wife, who were standing nearby.

“Uncle Shen, Aunt!”

Besides, there was Shen Qing standing behind the two.

He could sense that now, Shen Wenjie and his wife, including Shen Youran and Shen Qing, had all become Third Rank Torch Captains. Since their return to the Shen Family, their progress had been nothing short of tremendous.

“Little Chi, come, have a drink with your uncle tonight, and let’s talk about your family’s affairs these years. Fifty years, time really flies!”

And so, with back-and-forth exchanges, the initially somewhat estranged relationship quickly warmed up again, even more so than in the past.

In the following time, Song Chi spent time chatting with Shen Wenjie and Shen Qing, informing them about some of the events that had happened to his family in recent years, including how his grandfather had become a Zhulu Warship Captain, and how both his father and mother had advanced to Third Rank.

At the same time, the two of them along with Shen Youran also detailed their own experiences over the past fifty years.

Through their conversation, Song Chi learned that the Shen Wenjie family now belonged to the Third Direct Vein of the Shen Family, a lineage whose vein opening dated back over ten thousand years. Nowadays, their strength could only be considered average, and that person he had encountered earlier was the current sole Fearless Captain of the Third Direct Vein.

That evening, at the Third Direct Vein residence, within the courtyard where the Shen Wenjie family resided,

after a long chat with Shen Qing, Song Chi returned to the bedroom his Uncle Shen had arranged for him.

About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the bedroom door. When he opened it, Shen Youran came in with some toiletries.

However, as she was about to leave, Song Chi suddenly embraced her tightly from behind.

Shen Youran’s cheeks blushed immediately.

Before she could speak up, Song Chi, burrowing his face in her fragrant hair, was the first to say,

“Don’t go, let me hold you…”

Seeing that Shen Youran did not resist, he moved closer to her ear and said,

“My wife is so wonderful!”

Upon hearing this, he could clearly feel the delicate body in his arms soften even more.

“Who’s your wife, you narcissist…”

The two snuggled for a good while, but Song Chi knew that since this was “her family’s house”, it wouldn’t be good to overdo it. Ultimately, he boldly kissed her red lips, then let her go. However, before leaving, he handed her a “Ruins Market Walking Rank.”

He whispered the instructions for its use, and then Shen Youran, her cheeks still flushed, left.

After finishing his wash, Song Chi immediately entered the warship summoning room beneath the bedroom, summoned the Cang Qiong, and after completely isolating it from external probing, he entered the Ruins Market.

On the other hand, Shen Youran did the same.

The reason for such caution was not a lack of trust in Shen Wenjie and Shen Qing, but rather a wariness of the Shen Family.

The Northern Sphere Shen Family’s inheritance stretched over twenty thousand years, and even the Third Direct Vein had a history of over ten thousand years. Over such a long period, all sorts of people could emerge, and the internal factions were so intricate that not even their own members could distinguish them all; it was always better to err on the side of caution.

In the Ruins Market, on the third floor of an inn,

Shen Youran curiously inspected the modest-sized walking room several times before her crystal-clear eyes fixed on Song Chi.

Song Chi did not hide anything and recounted the whole situation of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market to her.

Then, he took out the last “Ruin Market Projection Rank” he had and solemnly handed it over to the girl.

“Sweetie, this token has significant limitations; unless it’s absolutely necessary, try not to activate it. It’s best kept as a last resort. Of course, if you really encounter a life-threatening danger, don’t hesitate to use it—your safety is the most important!”

Clutching the “Ruin Market Projection Rank,” Shen Youran didn’t say much, but her eyes had already narrowed into crescents with emotion.

Song Chi sat down in the walking room, then beckoned for the girl to sit on his lap.

The left hand that encircled Shen Youran’s slender waist was restless, causing her to let out little moans from time to time.

Soon, he took out the two components of the “Yin Yang Concentric Medallions.”

“Sweetie, you take this ‘Yin Concentric Medallion.’ We’ll bind them together later. These two medallion parts were obtained from a ruined secret realm in the Alien Star Domain by my parents. It’s a pity they didn’t grow to their limit; if both were nurtured to Red Quality and then bound, they would evolve into Silver Grade, and a new ‘Yin Yang Projection’ feature would emerge…”

He explained in detail about the “Yin Yang Concentric Medallions” to Shen Youran, and her eyes also sparkled upon seeing these two components.

As a woman favored by the heavens, she could naturally discern the formidable potential of these “Concentric Medallions.”

If the “Ruin Market Projection Rank” Song Chi gave her was a one-time lifesaving item, then these “Concentric Medallions” were an asset that could prove useful over and over again in daily situations. Though they might not have the commanding power of the “Projection Rank,” their practicality was certainly superior.

Besides these, Song Chi took out dozens of Storage Capsules—a spatial device no one could have too many of—with one capsule containing a significant number of various resources.

“Space Law Fruit,” “Green Blood Pan Peach,” “Aged Deep Sea Clam Pearls,” and a “Phoenix Blood Root” obtained from the “Spirit Beast Secret Realm.”

Song Chi had some knowledge about the Northern Sphere Shen Family in recent years.

First was their inherited secret technique “Phantom Phoenix State,” which was rumored to be a divine skill of the Starry Sky Behemoth “Void Sea Flame Phoenix.”

And this Void Sea Flame Phoenix was a descendant of the true phoenixes; the Phoenix Blood Root would be highly beneficial to Shen Youran.

In fact, he had two more Phoenix Blood Roots in his possession but those were part of the betrothal gifts he had prepared for marrying Shen Youran later. Moreover, a person could only consume one Phoenix Blood Root in a lifetime; consuming more would have no effect. Otherwise, that Fifth Rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix would have hoarded all of the Phoenix Blood Roots long ago, why would any be left until the end?

Just as Song Chi was about to introduce these items to Shen Youran, she struggled to stand with her body going limp, shot Song Chi a fierce glare, and said,

“Wait a moment!”

With that, she activated her “Ruins Market Walking Rank” to leave the walking room. Roughly two minutes later, when Shen Youran reappeared, she had several new items in her hand.

Song Chi couldn’t be more familiar with these items, for he had reaped them many times in the past.

They were none other than “Silver Apples,” not ordinary Fourth or Fifth Rank ones, but two Sixth Rank “Silver Apples” and one Seventh Rank Level “Silver Apple.”
