Chapter 551: The Shang Clan's Mythical Heritage
In response to Celestial Wolf Lord's firm words, the Shang Clan quickly replied.
"Rest assured, Celestial Wolf Lord, there's no need for that. Our Shang Clan has its own methods!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Shang Party Spirit Venerable, a Planet Destroyer, swiftly flew towards the center of the three Galaxy Vessels. A cold male voice then echoed from within the Planet Destroyer.
"All ships, move closer!"
Upon hearing this, the Flame Ships of the three clans began to move.
Indeed, even the Shang Clan's own members were included in the search.
Inside the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi's expression remained unchanged. He was unaware of the agreements reached between the Shang Clan, the Big Dipper Seven Towers, and the Holy Union's two Galaxy Vessels. However, since all three Galaxy Vessel captains had already implicitly agreed, he had no choice but to follow suit.
Soon after, dozens of Deer Hunt Ships and Battleships gathered in front of the Shang Party Spirit Venerable.
Under the watchful eyes of the Deer Hunt Ship and Battleship captains, the Planet Destroyer's hull began to flicker with intense multicolored light.
On the side, a muttering voice could be heard from the main control room of Celestial Wolf Lord's Galaxy Vessel.
"Colored radiance, mythical components... It seems they've brought one of the Shang Clan's two mythical clan treasures, the Seeker of Light and Shadow Mirror..."
Within the upper echelons of the Flame Human Civilization, information about each clan's mythical heritage was often collected by outsiders. This was especially true for top-tier clans like the Shang Clan.
According to known information, the Shang Clan of Shang Province had two publicly known mythical heritages, both of which were Star Sea mythical artifacts of the colored mythical grade. One of them was the Seeker of Light and Shadow Mirror.
It was rumored that the Seeker of Light and Shadow Mirror possessed powerful tracking and teleportation abilities. The Shang Clan had been able to continuously send their family members to this star domain because of this mythical component's teleportation capabilities.
Otherwise, with this star domain being over two hundred billion light-years away from the Flame Human Civilization, it would be impossible for ordinary beacon components to accurately mark and teleport to this location.
At this moment, the Shang Clan was clearly preparing to utilize the Seeker of Light and Shadow Mirror's alternative tracking ability.
As the seven-colored radiance flowed, a giant spiritual mirror illusion quickly condensed above the Planet Destroyer.
This spiritual mirror was even larger than the Shang Party Spirit Venerable itself. Its illusory surface was pitch-black, and after a brief glance, all three clans' members shuddered and averted their eyes, as if they had just stared into the abyss, ready to devour anyone.
Ignoring the reactions of the Deer Hunt Ship and Battleship captains, Shang Yuanshan, inside the main control room of the Shang Party Spirit Venerable, took out two objects from his side.
The first was a blood-red monument emitting dazzling golden light—the golden Blood Battle Monument that the Shang Clan had previously obtained.
The second was a special bionic battle armor that Shang Jie had once worn.
Reaching out, Shang Yuanshan first placed the golden Blood Battle Monument on top of the Seeker of Light and Shadow Mirror component. As this lower-ranked colored mythical component gently illuminated it, outside, the giant spiritual mirror above the Planet Destroyer shimmered with colorful light.
Finally, when the colors faded, multiple images suddenly appeared in the center of the giant spiritual mirror's pitch-black surface.
Among them was a robust Seventh Rank Blood Battle Clan Overlord, as well as an awe-inspiring Eighth Rank Blood Battle Clan member. The last image, however, was of a unique Battleship.
Upon seeing these images, everyone in the surrounding starry sky turned their attention towards White Eyebrow's vessel.
The Battleship displayed in the giant spiritual mirror was indeed White Eyebrow's ship.
Crucially, a pitch-black chain now connected the mirror surface to White Eyebrow's vessel, though no one knew when it had appeared.
All of this indicated that White Eyebrow was the person the Shang Clan's mythical component had sought and confirmed.
At this critical moment, Celestial Wolf Lord's voice sounded from his side.
"The target of this search is the golden Blood Battle Monument, not the direct identification of the murderer. Shining Light Star Tower, White Eyebrow, I ask you, where did the golden Blood Battle Monument on your ship come from, and do you have any evidence to prove its origin?"
As soon as Celestial Wolf Lord finished speaking, White Eyebrow's cool voice responded.
"I respectfully reply to the Lord of the Pavilion, this Blood Battle Monument was taken from a Seventh Rank Blood Battle Clan Overlord. My ship's Twelven Winged Archangel can testify to this, and there were also many other ship captains around who witnessed the battle and can serve as witnesses."
After White Eyebrow finished speaking, Song Chi also spoke up.
"I respectfully report to the Lord of the Pavilion, I personally witnessed this event and am willing to testify."
...
In the main control room of the Shang Party Spirit Venerable, Shang Yuanshan's expression darkened, but it wasn't directed at White Eyebrow. He was well aware of White Eyebrow's identity and knew that it was impossible for him to have harmed Shang Jie.
His concern had never been for his youngest son, Shang Jie. As a Planet Destroyer captain who had lived for tens of thousands of years, Shang Yuanshan had many children, and although Shang Jie was the youngest and received a bit more favoritism, that was all.
What truly mattered to Shang Yuanshan was the second golden Blood Battle Monument. This monument was of immense value, even to him, a veteran Planet Destroyer captain. The first monument had already been claimed by an Eighth Rank ancestor of the clan, and he had been waiting for this second one.
He had even temporarily removed two golden components to ensure that Shang Jie could obtain it.
Because of the involvement of three Golden-ranked components, which significantly impacted the power of a Planet Destroyer's captain, he went to great lengths to mobilize the ultimate foundation of his clan to minimize the losses.
However, all this effort yielded no useful information, which only fueled his anger further.
Onboard the Shang Party Spirit Venerable, the Planet Destroyer's control room, Shang Yuanshan removed the Golden-ranked Blood Battle Monument and donned the bionic battle armor.
Outside, the giant spiritual mirror above the Planet Destroyer activated once more, emitting a colorful glow. The colorful Mythical components unleashed their majestic power.
Deep within the Void, in the Ruins Market Mystic Realm.
Standing in the center of the free market area, Kongling looked up at the sky with a worried expression.
At the moment the giant spiritual mirror released its power, ripples could be seen on the Ethereal Energy Defense Array above, just as they had appeared the first time. It was clearly not a coincidence.
As time passed, the ripples on the Ethereal Energy Defense Array intensified, and the Ethereal Energy shield gradually dimmed.
Just as Song Chi's heart was filled with anxiety, the ripples suddenly dissipated, and the Ethereal Energy shield returned to its calm state.
Seeing this, Song Chi's tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Phew, the Multiverse Ruins Market is indeed resilient enough."
As he muttered, his eyes lit up.
"Does this prove that the Multiverse Ruins Market's rank is at least the Mythical level?"
"As for the specifics, whether it's lower, higher, or supreme, it's hard to say. But it's definitely not just lower-ranked. Even if the special mirror-type Mythical component used by the Shang Clan is only lower-ranked, the Multiverse Ruins Market that can block its search shouldn't be of the same rank, right?"
"And don't forget, the mirror-type Mythical component was activated by a 7th Rank Planet Destroyer, while the Multiverse Ruins Market has just recovered to the 6th Rank. It's reasonable to assume that the Multiverse Ruins Market's rank is higher than the Shang Clan's mirror-type Mythical component."
In an instant, various thoughts flashed through Song Chi's mind.
Outside, above the Shang Party Spirit Venerable, the Planet Destroyer.
As the colorful glow faded, no image appeared on the pitch-black mirror surface.
After more than two years, Shang Jie and his ship's wreckage had long been shattered by the endless Void's fierce winds. How could they possibly be traced?
Inside the ship, Shang Yuanshan remained silent, unable to accept the result.
Finally, the Celestial Wolf Lord and the Holy Union's Galaxy Vessel captain spoke up.
"Alright, that's enough fuss. Let's end it here. If anyone dares to cause trouble behind our backs because of this, I'll personally pay a visit to the Shang Clan!"
With two Galaxy Vessel captains speaking up, Song Chi and the others quickly dispersed.
Several hours later, two brand-new Planet Destroyers arrived, one from the Celestial Beacon Palace and the other from the Holy Union. After receiving their respective captains, the two Planet Destroyers quickly teleported away.
...
At the Civilization Great Wall, the Shining Star Tower.
Only Song Chi and White Eyebrow had left, but now there were seven of them, including Zhuoyang and Xuanhu, who had also returned.
After staying in the Blood Battle Abyss for over a hundred years, each of them managed to obtain a Silver-ranked Blood Battle Monument. Realizing that obtaining a Golden-ranked one was difficult, they, like Song Chi, focused on collecting Orange and Red-ranked Blood Battle Monuments in the Mystic Realm before leaving.
"Thunder Awaken, so, you got a Silver-ranked Blood Battle Monument, huh?"
As they chatted, the group headed towards the task window.
Why would the Star Tower release tasks if it wasn't to encourage its members to explore the Mystic Realm? Of course not.
After completing tasks, members were required to submit task items. The key was in the various submission methods for task completion.
First: Submit a Golden-ranked Blood Battle Monument for a reward of 15 Chaos Stele comprehension opportunities per monument.
Second: Submit a Silver-ranked Blood Battle Monument for a reward of one Chaos Stele comprehension opportunity per monument.
Third: Submit 15 Red-ranked Blood Battle Monuments for a reward of one Chaos Stele comprehension opportunity.
Yes, there was no fourth option. The Star Tower didn't even bother to collect Orange or Purple-ranked Blood Battle Monuments.
But upon reflection, it made sense. The Celestial Beacon Palace and the seven towers were filled with exceptional individuals. While Purple and Orange-ranked Blood Battle Monuments might be rare in the outside world, they were considered inferior by the Star Tower members.
In front of them, Zhuoyang and the others thought for a moment before each submitting 30 Red-ranked Blood Battle Monuments and one Silver-ranked Blood Battle Monument.
When it was Song Chi's turn, he didn't hesitate and only submitted one Silver-ranked Blood Battle Monument.
If not for politeness, he wouldn't have submitted even one. The Chaos Stele comprehension opportunities were indeed attractive, but for Song Chi, who already had multiple means of comprehending the law, the appeal wasn't that great.
On the contrary, with the Flame Human Civilization and the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization on the brink of all-out war, and the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons possessing the Petrifying Gaze, the importance of the Blood Battle Monument for the Song Clan's future was evident.
As for White Eyebrow, she only submitted 15 Red-ranked Blood Battle Monuments, which she had obtained by chance while planning for the Blood Battle Clan Sovereign. From start to finish, she hadn't actively searched for Blood Battle Monuments below the Golden rank.
After completing the task submission, the group finally exited the Star Tower login.
