Chapter 286: Dragon Whale Secret Technique Inheritance Stele
Chapter 286: Dragon Whale Secret Technique Inheritance Stele
In addition to this, Chikura's 004 Cultivation Secret Realm has once again completed a cycle of acceleration and stabilization, and has now restarted a new cycle of acceleration.
Unfortunately, both the Dragon Blood Fruit Tree and the Spirit Tempering Fruit Tree have stopped producing fruit.
As floating land plants, they cannot endlessly undergo one cycle after another of growth. After the initial maturation cycle, both have entered a long period of fruiting cessation, and it is unknown when they will produce fruit again.
Song Chi was actually well aware of this fact.
Floating land plants have a significant potential gap compared to star sea plants. Star sea plants take tens of thousands of years to produce one or more fruits, so how could floating land plants produce multiple supreme quality spiritual fruits every few thousand or ten thousand years?
In fact, all plants are the same; each cycle of fruiting consumes their own life energy. Star sea plants are unaffected because they have a life tree heart with abundant life energy. Floating land plants, however, will stop fruiting for a period after multiple cycles of production until their life energy is fully restored, before they can continue to produce spiritual fruits.
The one fortunate thing is that after this cycle of production, excluding the half that was distributed to the pulse center, Song Chi now has 94 supreme quality ten-thousand-year dragon blood fruits and 50 spirit tempering fruits, which is already a considerable wealth.
On the mountain body, hundreds of thousands of meters from the foot of the mountain, Song Chi stood up from the ground.
Over the past five years, he had climbed from the foot of the mountain to this place, and his understanding of spatial law had advanced rapidly. If the threshold for law mastery is 0.01%, then his current understanding of spatial law is around 0.1%.
Although this value may seem pitifully small, for a spatial law, which is one of the strongest laws in the star sea, this level of understanding is actually quite astonishing.
According to the official authoritative data of the Torch Human Civilization, the average time for initial law comprehension for Torch Vessel Captains is about three months, and to increase their law comprehension to 0.1%, it would take at least 50 years.
This is the average value for all laws, and if we consider the spatial law, which is much more difficult to comprehend than ordinary laws, the time required would be even longer.
Song Chi was very satisfied with this.
Of course, he was also aware that this was not due to his exceptional talent, but rather the result of the dual benefits of the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm and the intermediate spatial law crystal he possessed.
Under the influence of the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm, the Song Clan members' understanding of laws was far superior to that of ordinary Torch Vessel Captains. He also had a red epic-quality intermediate spatial law crystal to assist him, which allowed his comprehension speed to be so astonishing.
Moreover, while his comprehension speed ranks in the upper echelons among the Song Clan members over the past three thousand years, it is far from the peak.
Because he was very clear about these facts, Song Chi often reminded himself that in terms of spatial law, he could only be considered average, and it was only with the help of the intermediate law crystal that he could rank in the upper echelons. He must not become complacent or arrogant in the slightest.
Speaking of the intermediate spatial law crystal, Song Chi suddenly sighed, feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
Looking down at his left palm, the once brilliant red law crystal now emitted a red light that had dimmed by nearly half. This indicated that the star sea spatial law essence contained within the crystal had been largely depleted, and it would soon become an ordinary crystal.
Why are law crystals so precious? Why is their value so far ahead of other artifacts of the same rank?
Is it just because they are rare and scarce?
Of course not!
They are precious because, strictly speaking, they are a type of consumable resource.
The thread of star sea origin law within the law crystal will gradually be absorbed by the star sea creature as they comprehend it. Once it is fully absorbed, the law crystal will become an ordinary crystal.
After staring for a few seconds, Song Chi withdrew his gaze.
"It should last for more than five years, but what about after five years? I will have to leave the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm, and without the assistance of the law crystal, my understanding of spatial law will be as slow as a tortoise."
Shaking his head heavily, Song Chi refocused his thoughts.
When the road meets the mountain, there will always be a way. The future can be dealt with later. Right now, time is precious, and the priority is to reach the halfway point of the mountain as soon as possible.
Lifting his gaze, he followed the mountain body up to the halfway point.
The six inheritance steles loomed ever larger, and even the threads of origin law surrounding them could be seen clearly.
"The stele on the far left is surrounded by the Law of Metal. Could it be that all the inheritance secret techniques on it are metal-attribute?"
"The one on the right is the Law of Fire... but the two in the middle contain various origin laws. What's the reason for this?"
Song Chi continued walking, regardless of what it was. Once he reached the halfway point of the mountain, everything would become clear.
He was not far from the steles, and with a bit more effort, he would soon arrive at the Secret Technique Inheritance Steles.
The inheritance secret techniques he had been longing for five years were now within reach, and Song Chi found it difficult to remain calm.
Time passed, and this day, the Market Ruins trading session reopened.
As usual, the gnome Luke found Song Chi, who was disguised as a "Blue Blood," with great enthusiasm.
The purpose was easy to guess.
Years ago, Song Chi, under the guise of a Blue Blood, had taken out the ten-thousand-year dragon blood fruit, a longevity holy item. Since then, the gnome Luke had visited countless times, trying to purchase supreme quality dragon blood fruits.
However, the items he brought each time did not satisfy Song Chi. Only once did he trade one for five fourth-rank floating land fruits.
However, this one fruit did not seem to go to Luke but was consumed by a fourth-rank gnome ancestor from the viscount's manor behind him.
It was precisely because of this successful verification from the mouth of the ancestor that the gnome Luke became even more enthusiastic, almost always trying to persuade Song Chi every time the trading session opened, which greatly annoyed him.
However, this time was different. Luke brought something that Song Chi had long emphasized.
An orange-quality primary spatial law crystal.
This was undoubtedly a great surprise for Song Chi. Although a primary spatial law crystal is far inferior to an intermediate one, its assistance in comprehending spatial law is real and substantial.
As long as he obtained this law crystal, he would not have to worry about his law comprehension progress dropping to an unbearable level when the red spatial law crystal loses its effectiveness.
"How do we trade?"
Song Chi took the initiative to speak.
Gnome Luke's shifty eyes quickly darted around, constantly assessing the blue-blooded face of Song Chi, seemingly trying to discern any changes in his expression.
But how could Song Chi let him have his way? The years of experience in market trading were no joke, and his face remained completely unchanged.
Seeing that he couldn't read Song Chi's emotions, Luke cautiously signaled with four fingers.
"Four Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Fruits!"
Song Chi naturally wouldn't agree.
"Impossible! Dragon Blood Fruits are longevity treasures, one fruit can extend life by 50 years. Just one... "
The two argued back and forth, and in the end, Song Chi firmly set the price at two Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Fruits, with Luke having to additionally provide 20 strands of 4th Tier Floating Continent Essence.
This price was a significant bargain for Song Chi.
In the family, two Ten-Thousand-Year Dragon Blood Fruits were worth about 100 gold achievement points, while a single Spatial Law Crystal was worth no less than 130 gold achievement points. Adding the 20 strands of 4th Tier Floating Continent Essence, Song Chi effectively made a net profit of 70 gold achievement points.
Moreover, 130 gold achievement points were the price for an ordinary Law Crystal. The Spatial Law Crystal was even rarer among all Law Crystals, so its actual value exceeded 130 gold achievement points by a considerable margin.
After securing the 20 strands of 4th Tier Floating Continent Essence and the low-grade Spatial Law Crystal, Song Chi nodded in satisfaction.
This was one of the most satisfactory market transactions he had made in recent years.
When the market trading was over, Song Chi didn't linger any longer. He had to hurry and continue improving his Law Perception, aiming to reach the location of the Secret Technique Inheritance Stele as soon as possible.
Only by doing so could he leave more time to comprehend various inheritance secret techniques.
After half a year.
Song Chi, whose Spatial Law Perception had reached 0.12%, finally arrived at the mountain waist.
Stepping onto the mountain waist platform, Song Chi gained a clearer understanding of the six inheritance steles. The height of the steles exceeded that of a 5th Tier Mythical Mecha, and the Origin Laws that permeated them were astonishing.
Seeing these inheritance steles in person, Song Chi finally understood why the family insisted that clan members must reach a certain level of Law Perception before they could study the secret techniques on the steles.
The inheritance secret techniques stored on these steles were originally the complete Law Perception of 5th Tier and above creatures, and after countless years of additions, the Origin Laws contained within them had reached an astonishing level, evident from the dense layers of Primeval Origin Laws covering them.
Such a powerful Origin Law would be overwhelming if one's Law Perception was less than 0.1%. Even a brief glance could cause dizziness and disorientation. The Divine Mind State alone was far from sufficient to withstand such a level of Origin Law.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, with his current Law Perception at 0.12%, he could confidently study the secret techniques on the six steles.
After half an hour of close examination, Song Chi discovered that each of the six steles contained more than one secret technique. Each stele had at least several techniques, and two of them had over ten techniques.
After several rounds of careful examination, Song Chi found that many of the secret techniques on the six inheritance steles were not suitable for him to practice.
For example, the two steles at the ends, one for the Law of Metal and the other for the Law of Fire, contained secret techniques corresponding to their respective attributes, which could only be practiced by those who had perceived the corresponding Law Power.
In addition, two of the other four steles contained secret techniques that were not restricted by Law type, allowing creatures of any Law Path to practice them.
The last two steles, one being the Spatial Origin Stele and the other the Light Attribute Law Stele, surprised Song Chi.
The Light Attribute Law Stele was also not suitable for Song Chi to practice, meaning he could only choose from the last three steles.
Song Chi first examined the Spatial Origin Stele. Since he was walking the path of Spatial Law, this stele should have been the most suitable for him. However, that was not the case.
The Spatial Origin Stele recorded six secret techniques, the first and the lowest requirement being the "Return to Ruins Slash" secret technique, which the Clan Head had used in the [Bodhimanda Inheritance Tower] star domain.
However, even this secret technique required a Spatial Origin Perception of 0.15%, which Song Chi had yet to reach.
However, the low threshold of the "Return to Ruins Slash" secret technique did not mean it was weak. The introduction on the inheritance stele was simple:
[As the Spatial Law Perception improves, the power of this secret technique will also increase.]
As for the other five secret techniques, due to the low Spatial Law Perception, Song Chi couldn't even see their names.
With no choice, Song Chi shifted his focus to the last two inheritance steles.
Song Chi clearly felt that these two steles were very different from the other four.
Not only did they record secret techniques that were not restricted by Law type, but each of them contained over ten secret techniques.
One of the steles had the edges carved with extremely ancient Dragon Whale patterns, which were clearly much older than those on the other four steles.
Compared to the Dragon Whale Stele, the other stele was also impressive. Its ancient nature was one aspect, but its most distinctive feature was that the stele was damaged, with a corner missing from the top.
Despite this, the stele still recorded 13 secret techniques.
In Song Chi's view, this stele didn't seem to be originally owned by the Song family but was likely obtained through external acquisitions, adventures, or explorations of civilization ruins.
However, regardless of where the stele came from, what kind of force, or which civilization, it was now part of the family's resources, and there was no need to dwell on these trivial matters.
The second stele he examined was not the damaged one but the Dragon Whale Stele.
Song Chi had an instinctive affinity for the Dragon Whale Stele, possibly influenced by the visualization secret technique of the Dragon Spine Tyrant Whale - Mythical Mecha Visualization, or for other reasons. In any case, Song Chi unhesitantly chose this inheritance stele.
Soon, his eyes lit up as he saw a familiar secret technique on the Dragon Whale Stele.
[Secret Technique: Dragon Whale State (Can be practiced with any Law Perception of 0.1% or higher)]
