Chapter 531: The Dark Saber Secret Art Heritage Tablet
Chapter 531: The Dark Saber Secret Art Heritage Tablet
In the sky above, on the right side of the leading Zealot Ship, the cruiser's bow, measuring 1,200 meters, was gathering white light, seemingly charging for a main cannon attack.
Patrol Team Group Chat:
Song Qing: "Uncle, are you really going to let them go? They're just a few Sword Slave Clan members, let's just kill them!"
As soon as the young man's voice rang out, the captain of the Zealot Ship immediately stopped him.
"Stop it!"
Facing his uncle's reprimand, Song Qing could only reluctantly cancel the charging of the main cannon.
Song Qing had great respect for his uncle, Song Zhengyan, not only because he had always taken good care of him, but also because Song Zhengyan was a well-known genius of the Dragon Abyss City for the past few hundred years. He became the captain of the Zealot Ship before the age of 300 and had a significant reputation in Dragon Abyss City.
Song Zhengyan glanced at his nephew through the communication projection and saw that although Song Qing's eyes showed reluctance, they were free from any other emotions like resentment or gloom. Song Zhengyan gently explained, "Now is a critical moment for our Dragon Shark City to establish its reputation. As a neutral city, as long as they don't cause trouble within the designated area, we must never take action against outsiders. This is the most basic principle of a neutral city. Only by strictly adhering to this principle can we establish a good reputation among the various tribes in the outside world. By maintaining this, our Dragon Shark City can truly take root on the northern shore of the Shattered Sea!"
At this point, Song Zhengyan's tone changed as he turned his attention back to the Sword Slave Clan members who were quickly leaving in the distance.
"That Sword Slave Clan member had the intention to pursue and kill, but they didn't actually enter the designated area, so we can't kill them. Do you understand?"
Hearing this explanation, Song Qing and the other eight patrol members of the tribe showed a moment of realization.
"We understand, Uncle. For the sake of the family's future for hundreds and thousands of years, we will never make this mistake again!"
...
Gazing at the ten warships rapidly departing overhead, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent bowed respectfully. Although it was a simple task for the Song family's patrol team, it was a significant favor for the Half-Serpent.
"Father..."
Enduring the severe injuries on his body, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent quickly reunited with his wife and child.
"Let's go straight to Dragon Shark City. Although the construction of Dragon Shark City is not yet complete, I've heard that some areas are already open to the public. As long as we can sell that item, it will be enough for our expenses for the next few hundred years."
Upon hearing this, the Second-Stage Female Half-Serpent hesitated.
"That item is extremely valuable; otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the Sword Slave Clan. Won't it be dangerous to sell it directly?"
"Don't worry about that. I've already inquired in the tribe, and Dragon Shark City has excellent order. It's much better than that medium-sized Copper Horn City located hundreds of thousands of miles away. I heard that even a Second-Stage alien sold a silver treasure half a year ago, and they're still doing well in the city!"
Seeing the mountain, the horse runs to its death.
Although they had already seen the towering silhouette of Dragon Shark City, the four Half-Serpents rushed for three days without stopping to finally enter the city.
This was only possible because the Third-Stage Half-Serpent couple took turns carrying their child to speed up their journey; otherwise, it would have taken even longer.
At the north gate of Dragon Shark City, the number of aliens entering the city was astonishing, and the four Half-Serpents blended in with the crowd, drawing no attention.
Not only were there Second-Stage and Third-Stage aliens, but with just a casual glance, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent spotted several Fourth-Stage aliens, and even a Fifth-Stage Seahorse Clan member.
Despite the large number of aliens, there was no chaos, and everyone was entering the city in an orderly manner.
This was not only due to the intimidation of the Celestial Dragon Shark, which had appeared over a year ago, but also to the ongoing construction of the city wall on the left side of the north gate.
Visible were over a dozen giant alien silhouettes, each tens of thousands of meters tall, working tirelessly on the construction. Among them were even two beings over a hundred thousand meters tall, emitting a terrifying life pressure, yet they worked diligently without complaint.
"Indeed, a city with a Sovereign is truly exceptional..."
Witnessing this scene, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent felt more at ease and was genuinely happy for his tribe.
The Half-Serpent tribe he belonged to was not large; it was just a small fourth-level tribe on the northern shore of the Shattered Sea. There were only two Fourth-Stage Half-Serpents in the tribe, making it one of the countless average-sized forces on the northern shore.
Due to their weak influence and the nearest reliable trading city being hundreds of thousands of miles away from their tribe's residence, every time they went out for trade, they faced significant risks. Over the past thousand years, more than three dozen Half-Serpents had perished.
"Now it's better. Dragon Shark City is only a few tens of thousands of miles away from our tribe's residence, and it will be much more convenient in the future."
Just as the Third-Stage Half-Serpent was envisioning a bright future, a cold voice in the Star Sea Common Language suddenly came from ahead.
"The entrance fee is one strand of First-Stage Floating Continent Essence!"
The Half-Serpent reacted quickly and handed over one strand of Second-Stage Floating Continent Essence.
"Hello, there are four of us!"
The one collecting the entrance fee was a Second-Stage Tribulation Star Clan member. After receiving the essence, he promptly returned four strands of First-Stage Floating Continent Essence.
"1:8? This is much more reasonable than Copper Horn City's 1:5 ratio."
Muttering to himself, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent led his wife and child into the city.
The first thing the Third-Stage Half-Serpent did after entering the city was to rent temporary accommodations and settle his wife and child. Then, without tending to his injuries, he rushed to the trading street.
The currently open area of Dragon Shark City was the north city, and although it had only been half a year since its opening, the number of aliens gathered there was already impressive.
The Third-Stage Half-Serpent had limited knowledge and only vaguely understood the value of the item in his possession. As this was his first time in a large-scale trading city, the bustling streets and the dense crowd of aliens made him feel a bit overwhelmed. In the end, he hastily rented a stall and took out the item he had obtained by chance.
Song Qing, being the nephew of a tribal elder, held a relatively high position within the Hidden Vein. His experiences were far beyond those of his peers.
After completing a month-long patrol mission, instead of resting or relaxing, he headed straight to the trading street, hoping to find some hidden treasures.
"This... is this a Secret Art Heritage Tablet?"
A sudden exclamation from the crowd immediately caught Song Qing's attention.
The value of a Secret Art Heritage Tablet was well-known, and if it was indeed one, he had to obtain it at all costs. This would be crucial for the entire Hidden Vein and even the entire Song family, as it could enhance the family's foundation.
Pushing through the crowd, Song Qing soon spotted the Third-Stage Half-Serpent and the ancient-looking tablet on his stall, which emanated faint strands of sword intent.
The tablet was small, as if it had been cut in half, leaving only a short section.
However, Song Qing had returned to the Dragon Spine Ancestral Lineage and had experienced the Dragon Spine and Nameless Secret Art Heritage Tablets, so he was quite familiar with them.
"It's definitely a Secret Art Heritage Tablet, and it's most likely related to sword-based secret arts, but it seems to be incomplete!"
Upon confirming this, Song Qing quickly contacted his second uncle through the Flame Relay Network.
The Vein Clan had been on the northern shore of the Shattered Sea for over two years, naturally establishing a basic Flame Relay Network.
However, as it was a rough setup, its confidentiality was limited. Usually, the Vein Clan members communicated via warship transmissions and rarely used the Flame Relay Network.
Just after notifying his second uncle, Song Qing heard a deafening buzz in his ear.
"I'll take this tablet. How about 10 strands of Sixth-Stage Floating Continent Essence?"
Clearly, an alien had already verified the authenticity of this Secret Art Heritage Tablet and wanted to secure it quickly.
After the stall, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent hesitated, about to say something, but another alien spoke up.
"A red starry sea wonder suitable for snake-like aliens, this is the wonder's attribute."
This offer immediately caught the attention of the Third-Stage Half-Serpent.
Seeing this, Song Qing grew anxious, hoping his second uncle would arrive soon.
However, something seemed to be holding up Song Zhengyan, as he didn't show up.
Just as the Third-Stage Half-Serpent was about to agree, Song Qing tried to remain calm and quickly thought about what he had that might interest the other party.
Thanks to Song Zhengyan's support, he had quite a few valuable items.
As if struck by an idea, he suddenly spoke up, "A Serpent Spirit Blood Fruit, would you trade it for this tablet?"
Hearing the mention of the Serpent Spirit Blood Fruit, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent's attention instantly shifted to Song Qing, and his serpentine eyes shone with interest, indicating his keen interest in the fruit.
This sudden change caused the Fifth-Stage alien, who was about to make a deal, to become furious.
In an instant, the oppressive aura of a Fifth-Stage being enveloped Song Qing.
Song Qing's face paled as he struggled to mobilize his Shadow Energy to resist.
At that moment, Song Qing felt a subtle spatial fluctuation beside him, and before he could turn around, the pressure he was enduring vanished.
"Uncle Chi!"
Seeing the familiar figure that had appeared beside him at some point, Song Qing was overjoyed.
"Are you injured?"
Song Chi nodded with a smile.
"I'm fine!"
Seeing that Song Qing was unharmed, the coldness in Song Chi's heart lessened slightly, but his gaze towards the Fifth-Stage alien remained cold.
The shadows of the Heavy Pupils appeared in his eyes, and under the reinforcement of the Spatial Law and the Light Law, the Fifth-Stage alien's body stiffened, as if it were being stared down by a primordial beast.
"Violating the trading rules and using your aura to coerce an outsider is punishable by death according to the Dragon Shark City regulations!"
His cold words felt like sharp swords piercing the Fifth-Stage alien.
"Considering that you didn't release your aura to its full extent and showed restraint, I'll spare your life. However, punishment is necessary. Do you accept this judgment?"
After saying this, Song Chi also voluntarily dissipated his gaze, allowing the Fifth-Stage alien to regain its ability to move.
"I accept, I accept any punishment!"
The Fifth-Stage alien, still filled with fear, nodded quickly, afraid that Song Chi might change his mind and execute it.
"Little Qing, is there anything you need?"
As the person involved, Song Qing thought for a moment and mentioned the Floating Continent Essence he currently lacked.
"In that case, I sentence you to provide 500 strands of Fourth-Stage Floating Continent Essence and 10 strands of Fifth-Stage Floating Continent Essence as compensation!"
...
After resolving the matter casually, Song Chi turned his attention to the ancient tablet on the stall.
This tablet was not complete, but he could specifically address the issue. As long as the other part of the tablet remained on the Crimson Star Continent, using the Heaven's Destiny South Pointing Plate component to locate it should be easy.
"Stall owner, may I take a closer look?"
Knowing that Song Chi's identity was extraordinary, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent dared not refuse.
"Sir, please go ahead!"
Reaching out, Song Chi picked up the Sword Intent tablet and, with his mind focused, quickly learned some information about this sword-related Secret Art Heritage Tablet.
[Dark Saber Secret Art Heritage Tablet]
[Secret Art: Flying Sword Form (Any Law Proficiency above 0.1% can be comprehended)]
[Secret Art: Demon Sword Chant (Any Law Proficiency above 1% can be comprehended)]
...
This tablet was indeed a Secret Art Heritage Tablet, but due to its incompleteness, it currently only contained two secret arts.
For this reason, Song Chi couldn't determine its exact rank, but its value was undeniable.
After pondering for a while, he took out a porcelain bottle.
"This is a drop of Sixth-Stage Snake Clan Essence Blood, which will greatly enhance your Half-Serpent lineage. Along with this Serpent Spirit Blood Fruit, are you willing to trade?"
Hearing that Song Chi was willing to offer another drop of Sixth-Stage Snake Clan Essence Blood, the Third-Stage Half-Serpent had no more hesitation.
"Deal!"
The Serpent Spirit Blood Fruit already had the effect of assisting snake-like beings in breaking through the great stage bottleneck. If it could enhance its lineage with Sixth-Stage Snake Clan Essence Blood in advance, it was confident it could break through to the Fourth Stage.
Moreover, it was only at the Third Stage, so it didn't need Sixth-Stage Snake Clan Essence Blood to enhance its lineage. By diluting it, not only could it use it, but its wife and children could also benefit.
After completing the trade, Song Chi left the trading street with Song Qing.
Dragon Shark City Governor's Mansion.
"This Secret Art Heritage Tablet has high versatility, but it's a pity it's too incomplete, with only two secret arts remaining."
After examining the Dark Saber Secret Art Heritage Tablet, Song Shixing sighed.
The Dark Saber Secret Art Heritage Tablet was highly valuable, and if it were complete, its significance to the family would be unimaginable.
"Grandfather Xing, I can give it a try."
...
Warship Summoning Room beneath the Governor's Mansion.
Inside the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi placed the half of the Dark Saber Secret Art Heritage Tablet and the Heaven's Destiny South Pointing Plate component on the base plate.
Soon, a brand new star map appeared on the base plate.
On the star map with a radius of two billion light-years, a golden light point was marked.
This golden light point was not far from the Heaven Ruin Skydome, seemingly directly overlapping with the warship's location.
This indicated that the other half of the Dark Saber Secret Art Heritage Tablet was also on the Crimson Star Continent. After all, compared to a star map spanning two billion light-years, the Crimson Star Continent, an eighth-rank floating land, had a diameter of only over thirty million light-years.
With this result, Song Chi was delighted. As long as the other half of the Dark Saber Secret Art Heritage Tablet was still on this floating land, things would be much easier.
