Chapter 228: Silver Apple
Chapter 228: Silver Apple
Song Chi could only say that this attribute enhancement was not very intuitive.
The specific effect of a Mystic Realm still mainly depended on the speed at which it could cultivate plants. From this attribute panel, one could only see the changes in the "Mystic Realm Accelerator" characteristic.
The acceleration multiplier had increased to 30x the current component level. This meant that if it accelerated 600 years internally, it would only be 1 year in the outside world. Additionally, if the additional plant growth speed boost was factored in, the actual multiplier could be considered 1:1020.
This effect was, to be honest, already extremely impressive. After all, this "Chikura's 004 Cultivation Mystic Realm" was a Star Ocean Mystic Realm, equivalent to the acceleration effect of a 4th Tier Void Crystal.
Moreover, this was just at level 20. If it were to be further enhanced to level 30 or 40, this effect would undoubtedly improve significantly.
The only downside, perhaps, was that the cooldown time for this characteristic was fixed. Even after two major level-ups, the buffer time remained one year, clearly not reduced due to the increased reinforcement level.
Song Chi didn't have much to complain about this. Being able to obtain this component could be considered a stroke of luck, and he couldn't ask for too much more.
From the previous situation, it was evident that those Void Demons were well-versed in their tasks. They had clearly engaged in battles with the "Silver Apple Mother Tree" many times before, and he just happened to catch the final battle, ultimately reaping the benefits.
"Who cares? As the saying goes, it's better to be lucky than early. In any case, it has now become the third red component on the Cobalt Number, and there's no reason to give it up!"
With that thought, Song Chi's figure suddenly vanished. However, this time, he did not enter the Market Mystic Realm but the 004 Cultivation Mystic Realm.
Taking a look around, he nodded lightly.
It was basically the same as when he was in the Trieye Clan's flagship, except the area seemed to have shrunk significantly. In the center of the Mystic Realm, a silver mother tree was sealed, along with two pitch-black 4th Tier Void Demons. Everything else was the same.
Additionally, beneath the branches of the "Silver Apple Mother Tree," which no longer emitted any law force or energy fluctuations, lay the corpse of a Void Demon, precisely the one that the "Silver Apple Mother Tree" had already slain.
Looking at this 4th Tier Void Demon's corpse, which was only slightly larger than a Void Shadow Killer Puppet, Song Chi's eyes brightened.
This thing was a treasure trove.
With dark energy flowing around him, his figure rapidly descended.
After this component was installed on the Cobalt Number, Song Chi, through the Flame Torch Vessel's connection to his fire source, had become the master of this Mystic Realm. Achieving basic abilities like walking on air and teleporting within it was effortless.
He could also clearly sense that the 4th Tier Void Demon's corpse posed no threat to him, which is why he dared to approach it directly.
At the same time, several Void Shadow Killer Puppets descended with specialized alloy cutting machines and began to cut the 4th Tier Void Demon's corpse.
This Void Demon's corpse could eventually yield a drop of 4th Tier source blood, but before that, Song Chi needed to extract the Void Crystal from its body.
This was a 4th Tier Void Crystal, and although it couldn't match an orange-quality component, it was still very useful for Song Chi. Whether for future Mystic Realm acceleration or further reinforcement of the "Chikura's 004 Cultivation Mystic Realm" component, it would serve well.
Song Chi frowned. Despite the continuous output of the specialized alloy cutting machine, the 4th Tier Void Demon's skin only showed fine white scratches, clearly unable to be cut through.
After a slight frown, Song Chi quickly thought of a new method.
He brought the Void Demon's corpse into the Market and had several pseudo-4th Tier Void Shadow Killer Puppets summon their signature Spirit Fragment Daggers.
These Spirit Fragment Daggers, formed by the Void Shadow Killer Puppets using Void power, were already incredibly sharp. Although they still struggled to cut through the 4th Tier skin that had been tempered by law force for years, Song Chi waved his hand, and a large amount of Market law force gathered on the Spirit Fragment Daggers held by the Void Shadow Killer Puppets.
With this layer of law force enhancement, the sharpness of the Spirit Fragment Daggers increased, finally allowing them to cut through the 4th Tier Void Demon's skin with difficulty.
In this way, the 4th Tier Void Crystal in the center of its chest was soon extracted.
Playing with this Void Crystal, Song Chi's eyes moved.
He was carefully considering the differences between the Market Mystic Realm and Chikura's 004 Cultivation Mystic Realm.
Although he was the master of both Mystic Realms, the two gave him different feelings.
In Chikura's 004 Cultivation Secret Realm, although he could also control everything, it was far from as effortless as in the Market Mystic Realm, and he couldn't activate the laws of the realm.
However, the Market Mystic Realm was different. From the very beginning, when he was at Zero Rank, he could fully control this secret realm, whether it was the laws or anything else.
Thinking of this, Song Chi shook his head. He couldn't clearly understand the reason, but he vaguely knew one thing: the Market Mystic Realm beneath his feet was of a much higher rank than Chikura's 004 Cultivation Secret Realm.
"Chikura's 004 Cultivation Secret Realm is a Star Sea Secret Realm. Since the Market Mystic Realm is higher, what level of secret realm could it be? A Primordial Secret Realm? Or even a higher Cosmic Secret Realm?"
"Never mind, thinking about it now is pointless. In the future, when my strength improves, I will naturally know."
Muttering to himself, Song Chi stopped thinking about it. He had already understood this when he was in the Moho Mystic Realm; it was just that this issue had come to mind again.
However, he kept a close eye on Chikura's 004 Cultivation Secret Realm. Since it was called "004 Cultivation Secret Realm," were there also 005, 003, 002, or even 001? If 004 was already a Star Sea Secret Realm, would the others be even higher?
With this thought, he sealed the corpse of the Fourth Tier Void Demon in a sealed storage room.
As for whether to leave it for the Cobalt Number, turn it in to the family to exchange for Fourth Tier Floating Continent Essence, law stones, or to use for Grandfather's Roaring Lion Ship, Song Chi wasn't in a hurry to decide.
What was on his mind now was the Silver Apple Mother Tree, the two unusually large Silver Apples, and continuing to explore the Super Colossal Tri-Eye Flagship.
In the previous attribute descriptions, the Silver Apple Mother Tree and the two living Fourth Tier Void Demons were shown to be sealed. He didn't yet know if the seal could be lifted with just a thought, like in the Market Mystic Realm.
To find out, he needed to investigate further.
Returning to the 004 Cultivation Secret Realm, Song Chi stood beneath the Silver Apple Mother Tree, which showed no energy fluctuations and looked like an ordinary ancient tree at first glance.
However, its color and size already silently spoke of its extraordinary nature.
Extending his hand, he slowly reached out to touch the Silver Apple Mother Tree.
As mentioned earlier, his control over the 004 Cultivation Secret Realm was not as good as in the Market Mystic Realm. To understand the Silver Apple Mother Tree more specifically, he had to actively touch the mother tree.
As his palm touched the tree, many mysterious messages instantly appeared in his mind, all related to the Silver Apple Mother Tree.
After retracting his hand, he had a comprehensive understanding of the mother tree.
This Silver Apple Mother Tree was personally transplanted by the Three-Eyed Royal Clan's Chikura nearly 200,000 years ago. At its peak, it was a Sixth Tier plant, but due to various reasons, it had declined to its current Fourth Tier.
The seal on it was due to the mismatch in the secret realm's rank. If the seal were lifted directly, the current Second Tier cultivation secret realm would be unable to withstand the Sixth Tier Silver Apple Mother Tree, causing it to collapse. Therefore, the secret realm's rules sealed it.
The same applied to the two Fourth Tier Void Demons.
During the sealing period, the three could not move, could not be attacked, and could not even have the two Silver Apples picked from the mother tree.
To solve this, Song Chi, as the owner, needed to upgrade the 004 Cultivation Secret Realm to Fourth Tier.
Realizing this, Song Chi felt quite helpless. His resources were almost depleted, and it was unlikely he could unseal the three in the short term.
His gaze flickered, and his eyes caught the two Silver Apples.
Looking at the two Silver Apples and recalling their specific information, he felt a bit relieved.
According to the information he had, the reason these two Silver Apples were different from what he had previously found out was that the family's description only referred to the Silver Apples produced by a Fourth Tier Silver Apple Mother Tree.
The one around 30 meters tall was a Fifth Tier Silver Apple.
Fifth Tier corresponds to the upper limit of orange components, so this Silver Apple could upgrade a purple quality artifact/component to orange glory quality.
The nearly 100-meter-tall one was a Sixth Tier Silver Apple, which could upgrade an orange quality artifact/component to red epic quality.
(PS: Guess where these two silver apples will be used on which two components...)
However, it's worth noting that in the past thousand years, due to the disturbances caused by the Void Demons, the Silver Apple Mother Tree extracted some of the energy essence from the two fruits to fight against the enemies.
Therefore, these two silver apples are actually defective. If they are to be used in the future, they will need to wait until the Silver Apple Mother Tree is unsealed and then accelerated for another thousand years or so.
Song Chi found this acceptable, as the red component itself has an acceleration property, eliminating the need to waste a precious Tier 4 Void Crystal.
Withdrawing his gaze, Song Chi's eyes slowly shifted downward, landing on the ground of the Mystic Realm beneath his feet.
This Mystic Realm has mountains and water, covering an area of about several thousand square kilometers, with its own complete ecological cycle. If he were to truly keep a group of alien races to provide faith, he would need to plan carefully.
Having sorted this out, Song Chi did not linger further in the Mystic Realm. The most important thing now was to continue exploring the ancient Super Gigantic Tri-Eye Flagship, scavenging resources to quickly upgrade the red component.
Only by unsealing the Silver Apple Mother Tree as soon as possible can the Mystic Realm's potential be fully realized.
Of course, he did not return to the Cobalt Number but instead entered the Multiverse Market, heading into the all-attribute cultivation room.
The Brainwave Remote Control System component still needed some time to buffer, and there was no point in rushing.
A few hours later, in front of the Fixed Point Deployment Platform on the Cobalt Number, four Void Shadow Killer Puppets holding Gnome Magic Energy Bombing Drones vanished into thin air.
The deployment area this time was the same as before, as this was the fastest path into the ship. Song Chi was betting that the nearly Tier 4 peak Void Demon had already left.
The four Void Shadow Killer Puppets cautiously approached. With the experience from the previous attempt, none of the puppets were lost this time.
However, two seconds after the first two puppets entered the ship hull crack, a sharp explosion sounded, and Song Chi quickly retreated the remaining two puppets.
The Cobalt Number's Void Shadow Killer Puppet Tree component showed that the two Void Shadow Killer Puppets had been destroyed. The fact that an enemy could take out two near-Tier 4 puppets in such a short time left no room for doubt.
Shua shua shua!
Several Law Blades shot out from behind, slicing through the surrounding space with the help of spatial laws.
Before the Law Blades could drain the Plasma Shield of the two puppets, the surrounding space fractures and Law Traces had already swallowed them whole.
Inside the Cobalt Number, Song Chi's other viewpoint suddenly turned dark as the Brainwave Beacon was erased.
"Haha, what a vengeful beast!"
Song Chi sneered inwardly and could only re-enter the Multiverse Market.
While waiting for the Fixed Point Deployment Platform and the Brainwave Remote Control System components to cool down, he practiced the Guiding Technique.
A few hours later, the two components completed their cooldown, but this time the deployment was not as lucky. The original safe route was no longer viable, and he needed to develop a new one, which would require multiple, even dozens of explorations.
The new batch of four Void Shadow Killer Puppets had barely been deployed for two minutes when they were all destroyed, and he could only wait for the next deployment.
Thus, in a cycle of deployment, total annihilation, waiting for cooldown, practicing the Guiding Technique or visualization, and then deploying again, two months passed in the blink of an eye.
During this time, he had opened several safe routes and entered the flagship, but they all turned out to be dead ends, preventing further exploration.
This day, Song Chi habitually glanced at the Holy Cross Beacon component and saw that the originally 0/2 beacon marks had now changed to 1/2, with one mark restored. He was finally at ease.
With this mark, no matter what changes occurred on the Bailin Continent, he could always return through the spatial anchor point.
Moreover, he could continue leaving beacon marks here for future exploration, which he had been worried about before. Now, he could fully focus on the exploration.
Withdrawing his thoughts, the Fixed Point Deployment Platform in front of him reactivated.
"This round should be able to get closer to the ship hull crack. I hope this time it works, and it's not another dead end!"
