Chapter 295: Ultrasonic Magnetic Detector
Chapter 295: Ultrasonic Magnetic Detector
Above the Mystic Floating Continent, the three cruisers did not choose to disperse but maintained a certain distance as they ascended together.
The reason for this was to avoid the three Fourth-Rank Black Apes below losing their will to chase too early.
The speed of the three warships was just right, ensuring that the Black Apes wouldn’t be left too far behind to stop the pursuit, while also avoiding the significant impact of the Blood Law that permeated their bodies.
As for the three Black Apes, they were Fourth-Rank beings and native species of this Mystic Realm, possessing a minor enhancement from the Mystic Realm’s laws, yet they consistently lagged behind the three cruisers.
This was actually quite simple. Not to mention the Sky Dome, which had already reinforced its red [Light Energy Convergence Engine] component to the Fifth-Rank limit, even the cruiser captains, El Howell and Li Tianze from the Li Family, were absolute prodigies of their respective families.
Born with purple flames, the engines on their warships had long been reinforced to the lv49 limit, and with the streamlined hulls of their Flame Torch Warships, it was quite normal for their speed to exceed that of ordinary Fourth-Rank creatures that weren’t adept at flying.
After several dozen seconds, seeing that the Black Apes were about to turn back, Song Chi did not hesitate.
Using the coordinates of the Void Shadow Killer Puppets below as the landing point, the [Void Escape Pearl] component was immediately activated. In the next second, the 1,300-meter-long Sky Dome vanished from the sky.
Beside them, the two people in the other two cruisers were momentarily stunned but quickly reacted.
Although spatial components that allowed for void traversal were rare, given their backgrounds and knowledge, they were not unfamiliar with such components. Seeing a warship over a kilometer long disappear before their eyes, they immediately thought of such components.
The two exchanged glances via the warship communication system, a sense of unease flashing in their eyes. The enslavement components on their warships did not have the remote mental communication ability of the [Bridge of Minds].
They had no idea if the enslaved creatures under their command had already obtained the [Spatial Law Fruit], or if Song Chi’s sudden teleportation was to secure all three [Law Fruits] for himself.
In the depths of the dense forest below, the Sky Dome suddenly appeared, and the two enslaved creatures sped up their escape. Along with the Void Shadow Killer Puppets, they had each taken one [Spatial Law Fruit].
In truth, if Song Chi wanted to, he could have killed them at any time and reclaimed the two [Spatial Law Fruits], but he did not do so.
On the Mystic Floating Continent, the two Fourth-Rank Cruiser Captains from the Li Family and the Howell Family were patrolling the entire continent without distinction. He was well aware that his actions could not be hidden from them, and if he pushed too far, it would cause significant trouble later, even if he revealed his identity as a member of the Song Clan of Dinghai.
With a thought, the dozens of Void Shadow Killer Puppets that had been hiding in the surrounding void gaps appeared one after another. Under his command, they quickly gathered below the [Spatial Law Tree], wielding various excavation tools to begin their work.
At the same time, the hatch of the Sky Dome opened, and the Immortal Realm Fertile Soil was released from the warship via a traction beam, finally landing in the soil pit already dug below the [Spatial Law Tree].
With the assistance of the Immortal Realm Fertile Soil, the transplantation was very successful. One of the three [Spatial Law Trees] in the Mystic Realm was successfully transplanted into the cultivation secret realm.
Above the sky, roars echoed one after another. The three Fourth-Rank Black Apes could no longer smell the [Spatial Law Tree] or the [Law Fruits], which drove them into a frenzy.
Infinite Blood Laws were released from their bodies, making them appear like three blood-red suns spanning the sky. The intense pressure spread over a range of tens of thousands of miles, causing all low-rank Mystic Realm creatures in the area to be terrified.
However, for the Sky Dome, with its Fifth-Rank silver energy shield and Fifth-Rank red hull armor, this Fourth-Rank pressure was negligible and could not penetrate the two layers of protection to reach the interior of the warship.
This left Song Chi in the main control room of the Sky Dome completely unaffected.
Except for the Sky Dome, El Howell and Li Tianze were somewhat uncomfortable.
Though they were also prodigies of the two major Fourth-Rank families on the Shinpu Continent, both their backgrounds and personal experiences were far inferior to Song Chi’s. Under the full pressure of the three Fourth-Rank Black Apes, their purple energy shields and hull armor could not completely eliminate the effects.
The only good news for them was that Song Chi had not kept everything to himself, and they already knew that their enslaved creatures had obtained the [Spatial Law Fruit].
Buzz, buzz, buzz! The intense engine roar and the afterimages of the warship flashed as the Sky Dome burst out of the dense forest canopy and rapidly disappeared into the distant horizon, leaving only a few realistic afterimages of the warship behind.
Song Chi had no intention of entangling with these Fourth-Rank Black Apes, so he directly activated the [Phantom Propulsor]’s “Phantom Trace” feature. He left the headache for El and Li Tianze, while he wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could transplant more [Law Trees].
Of course, he would not dare to touch the [Spatial Law Tree] again, or else...
Just as he was thinking, a communication request interrupted his thoughts.
Seeing the sender of the communication, Song Chi’s eyes flickered, and a sense of unease welled up in his heart.
The communication request was not from anyone else but the Shinpu Li Family’s Skirmish Warship, the [Shinpu Long Cry].
After connecting the communication, he respectfully said, "Sir!"
The Skirmish Warship captain, whom Song Chi did not know well, nodded slightly, his face still wearing a warm smile, but his words confirmed Song Chi’s suspicions.
"Little one, let’s stop here. If you continue to transplant, the [Platinum Oak] will not easily let it go, even if you reveal your identity as a member of the Song Clan of Dinghai..."
In the main control room of the Sky Dome, although Song Chi was somewhat annoyed, he nodded quickly.
When the communication was disconnected, a dark expression appeared on his face.
In fact, he had anticipated this move, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
He had originally thought that by not touching the [Spatial Law Tree] again, he could still transplant two more ordinary [Law Trees], but he did not expect the tolerance of the two families to be so low.
Of course, he did not doubt their words. The [Platinum Oak] from the Howell Family had not sent a communication, most likely not because they approved of his actions, but because in their eyes, the Sky Dome was already considered a cruiser under the command of the Shinpu Li Family.
Song Chi felt a sense of meaning.
If he had known that the two families had such a low tolerance, he wouldn't have given up those two [Spatial Law Fruits] earlier. After all, it was the last wave.
Thinking of this, he shifted his attention to the [Spirit Eye Gaze] component.
Since this red-quality radar was loaded and reinforced to the fourth rank, he hadn't really used its "Spirit Eye Gaze" feature.
The premium Star Sea Mystic Realm beneath his feet had been sealed for over ten thousand years. He wanted to see if any Star Sea Rarities had been nurtured within it.
With 50,000 Ether Energy points deducted, and after a 10-minute buffer, a special, invisible ripple surged out from the Sky Dome, rapidly spreading in all directions.
The [Spirit Eye Gaze] component, now reinforced to the fourth rank, had one drawback: it could only detect Star Sea Rarities up to the orange quality. Higher qualities were out of its reach.
However, for the moment, it was still okay. After being sealed for ten thousand years, if any rarities had been nurtured within this mystic realm, they would likely be at the Orange Glory level at most. Red Epic qualities were highly unlikely.
As the Spirit Eye Detection Wave gradually spread, Song Chi's expression didn't change much.
Perhaps the mystic realm's environment wasn't suitable for the nurturing of Star Sea Rarities, or for some other reason, the detection wave had already spread over half of the mystic realm's floating land, but it hadn't detected even a single white rarity, which was quite disappointing.
After a few more seconds, just as Song Chi was losing all hope, a crisp prompt sounded.
Looking up, he saw a purple light point clearly displayed on the radar map.
"Is this a purple rarity?"
Even if a purple Star Sea Rarity could be converted into a ship component, its value to Song Chi now was limited. Nevertheless, he still controlled the Sky Dome to quickly head toward the designated coordinates.
The radar map showed that the purple rarity was several thousand kilometers away from the Sky Dome. However, there was no need to search for the [Law Trees] step by step anymore, and the Sky Dome soon arrived at the designated location.
"Is it underground?"
After several thorough searches without finding the purple rarity, Song Chi shifted his gaze to the ground below.
Humming softly, the warship descended. Once it reached a certain height, the Sky Dome's hatch opened, and a Roaring Tiger Mining Vehicle, guided by a traction beam, slowly landed on the ground. It then began its fixed-point excavation work.
After about half an hour, when the Roaring Tiger Mining Vehicle had dug to a depth of several dozen meters, it finally discovered the purple rarity.
It was quickly delivered to Song Chi's hands.
[Rarity: Magnetic Stone]
[Quality: Purple]
[Convertible: {Ultrasonic Magnetic Detector}]
[Note: A Magnetic Stone within a Star Sea Mystic Realm, nurtured over ten thousand years, has special effects.]
...
Ultrasonic Magnetic Detector lv0
Quality: Purple
Trait: Entity detection depth doubled
Cost: 300 per use (Ether Energy Points)
Effect: Conducts ultrasonic exploration of a designated 10m x 10m solid area, capable of detecting multiple reactions such as metal, special minerals, and life. Current maximum exploration depth: 200 meters (100 x 2).
Duration: 10 minutes
Recharge: 60 seconds; Buffer: 72 hours
Upgrade Required: 7 strands of Floating Land Essence (Zero Rank), 700 Ether Energy Points, 7 Life Nuclei (Zero Rank)
Seeing the attributes of this special component, Song Chi felt a surge of joy.
This [Ultrasonic Magnetic Detector] component could perform solid exploration, to some extent replacing the former "Mana Detection" feature.
Although its operational range was limited, as long as its reinforcement level increased, it should still be quite impressive. Additionally, its depth of underground detection was significantly greater, making it a balanced choice.
He directly loaded this component onto the warship and reinforced it to level 30.
With the limited Titanium Crystal he had, he could only reinforce it to this level, but the component's attributes still improved significantly.
Effect: Conducts ultrasonic exploration of a designated 1000m x 1000m solid area, capable of detecting multiple reactions such as metal, special minerals, and life. Current maximum exploration depth: 800 meters (400 x 2).

Recharge: 30 seconds; Buffer: 36 hours
...
Satisfied, Song Chi closed the attribute panel. He didn't plan to stay any longer. Since the two fourth-rank Flame Torch Captains above had already made their stance clear, staying longer would be pointless.
However, just as the Sky Dome was about to quickly ascend, a loud rumble sounded again from the sky above the ancient forest in the distance.
This time, it wasn't a minor skirmish. The sound of cannon fire suggested that multiple cruisers were engaged in a fierce battle.
Curious and with a hint of different thoughts, Song Chi turned the ship and headed toward the source of the cannon fire.
The only things that could cause so many cruisers to engage in a battle would be either the [Spatial Law Fruit] or multiple [Law Trees] growing together. These were the only two possibilities.
Song Chi's thoughts were simple. Since the two fourth-rank Flame Torch Captains above didn't allow him to continue transplanting, there was no harm in trying to seize the [Law Fruits], right?
Currently, his spatial law comprehension was only 0.17%, and one [Spatial Law Fruit] was far from enough. If he could get a few more, that would be even better.
Even if they were of other attributes, once he reached the capital star domain, they could be used for trading with others.
As a last resort, selling them in the Market Ruins would also be fine.
When he arrived at the battlefield, Song Chi realized he was wrong.
The source of this chaos was not any of the scenarios he had imagined but a combination of both.
Below the battlefield, there were six Law Trees, each representing one of the five elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. In the center, there was a [Spatial Law Tree].
All six Law Trees bore fruit, but the [Spatial Law Fruit] was down to just two. The other five-element Law Trees each had three fruits hanging from them.
The arrival of the Sky Dome didn't cause much of a stir, as nearly ten cruisers had already gathered in this area, and a fierce battle was raging over a thousand kilometers above.
Pretending to charge toward a Howell Family cruiser, Song Chi controlled the Void Shadow Killer Puppets, which had already hidden in the spatial rifts, to quickly approach the six Law Trees below.
However, the result was unexpected.
The six Law Trees were tightly sealed by a special spatial barrier, which even the spatial rifts couldn't penetrate.
Realizing this, Song Chi understood that the spatial barrier must have been set up by either the Li Family or the Howell Family to prevent the other from approaching the Law Trees.
As for the battle above, it was likely to determine the final distribution of the Law Fruits!!!
