Chapter 636: Multiverse Walker
Chapter 636: Multiverse Walker
The Triple Flame was absolutely unsuitable for the Creation Trigram Furnace; this was, after all, a future black or colored upgrade fire source. In reality, the only golden fire seed artifact Song Chi could utilize was the Crimson Wheel Flame.
To refine the Everlasting Creation Pill, he would need to acquire at least two more golden fire seed artifacts in the future.
Song Chi found this prospect daunting.
It was clear that when Zhou Ping presented the Creation Trigram Furnace artifact, aside from his urgent need for rescue, another primary reason was the difficulty in collecting numerous high-ranking fire seed artifacts.
After all, silver fire seed artifacts on their Primordial Continent were already considered sacred flames, let alone golden and black ones.
Without rushing to retrieve the Heaven Ruin Skydome, Song Chi first activated the Lotus Meditation Seal component. Under its "time speed" property and the Time Chessboard's dual cooling reduction, the required year-long wait for refining the second batch of Essence Marrow Pills was shortened to just 28 days, barely a month.
After completing these tasks, he retrieved the Heaven Ruin Skydome and, assisted by the Essence Marrow Pill, Super-grade Body Tempering Elixir, and High-grade Deepwater Pearl, began practicing the Guiding Technique.
Within half a month, aided by multiple supplements, his Guiding Technique successfully advanced to level 68, nearing the peak of the sixth rank.
On this day, the door to the Omnipotent Training Room opened, and Song Chi emerged after half a month of training.
Not that he didn't want to continue, but the Heaven's Dome Intelligence in his brow's Soul Fire Ancestral Aperture alerted him that the Luo Fu Sword Sect's Master had awakened.
Inside the Heaven Ruin Skydome's cockpit, Song Chi stood before the Life System Medical Repair Chamber, gazing through the chamber door at the man inside, whose eyes were now open, scrutinizing his surroundings.
Under the Vortex Market Sovereign's power, the chamber's interior and exterior were already isolated, allowing Song Chi to clearly observe the interior, while the interior remained unaware of the outside.
Within the Life System Medical Repair Chamber, Zhang Lingxuan's thoughts whirled.
Though uncertain how long he had slept, he vividly recalled his physical state before sealing himself in the Ten Thousand Year Mystic Ice Coffin. Now, sensing his restored peak physique, he made an educated guess.
"Could Zhou Ping have successfully enlisted the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace? Initially, I held onto a sliver of hope, but to think it was this effortless... This must be the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace's method, as touted by Zhou Ping, truly befitting a great existence standing atop the boundless Star Sea..."
As his thoughts swirled, a majestic, ancient voice suddenly flooded his mind.
[Now that you're awake, let's discuss your experiences in the self-exiled Ancient Immortal Domain Continent ruins. I have some understanding of this former Dominant Civilization and find it intriguing.]
Initially startled by the voice, Zhang Lingxuan's spirit tensed, but quickly realized—
"Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace, I..."
He began cautiously, and upon receiving no response, confirmed the voice's origin. With no further reservations, he organized his thoughts and swiftly replied:
"Reporting to Your Excellency, my sect began exploring those Ancient Immortal Domain ruins two hundred years ago. Strangely, the site had no day-night cycle, perpetually shrouded in eternal night, devoid of sunlight..."
Zhang Lingxuan recounted the Luo Fu Sword Sect's entire two-century exploration process.
His reasons for doing so, aside from knowing he couldn't conceal anything from the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace, included:
1. He detected key phrases like Self-Exile and Dominant Civilization, sparking his desire for deeper understanding.
2. The Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace's interest in the Ancient Immortal Domain Continent ruins inspired various thoughts, prompting him to explore potential opportunities.
After recounting their exploration, and still receiving no response, Zhang Lingxuan pondered before inquiring:
"Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace, I sensed from your words that the Ancient Immortal Domain Civilization was incredibly powerful. Why did it ultimately meet such a downfall? What is this Self-Exile?"
Outside the Life System Medical Repair Chamber, Song Chi deliberated briefly before providing a concise explanation:
[Tens of thousands of years ago, the flourishing Ancient Immortal Domain Civilization was suddenly struck by an unknown force, annihilating over 80% of its peak warriors. Ultimately, they could only Self-Exile into the Void Dark Side Space to seek a breathing space.]
Zhang Lingxuan's gaze froze, shocked by the secrets revealed by the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace. Amidst the shock, deep-seated fear emerged.
If the once-mighty Ancient Immortal Domain Civilization was entirely destroyed, how could their Primordial Continent, merely one of the many lower continents, resist if that unknown force returned?
This thought intensified an idea already forming in his mind, which now seemed the most suitable and beneficial for the Luo Fu Sword Sect's rapid growth.
...
Outside the Life System Medical Repair Chamber, Zhang Lingxuan's expression, observed by Song Chi, still evokes a hint of a smile, as his plan unfolds according to plan:
First, by healing the Luo Fu Sword Sect Master's near-fatal wounds, you establish a psychological shift, making him more receptive to the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace's enigmatic yet omnipotent image.
Next, by highlighting the Ancient Immortal Domain Civilization's downfall, you sow seeds of concern and curiosity, setting the stage for Zhang Lingxuan's forthcoming inquiry.
As Zhang Lingxuan's thoughts evolve in line with your plan, a hint of intrigue and caution emerges, awaiting his next move.
"Of course, this was just the prelude. After saying these formalities, Zhang Lingxuan's tone shifted:
'Your Majesty, since you're interested in the Ancient Immortal Domain Continent Ruins, I, Luo Fu Sword Sect, am willing to serve!'
After saying these words, Zhang Lingxuan remained silent, his eyes deep and his expression calm, revealing no emotional changes.
But this was only the case for other lifeforms; it didn't include Song Chi.
With the power of the eighth-rank Sovereign of the Vortex Market, and bearing the Dual Pupil, no matter how well Zhang Lingxuan concealed his emotions, Song Chi could still clearly perceive the fleeting excitement and concern in the depths of his eyes.
Additionally, the rapid beating of his heart also silently conveyed his inner excitement.
Undoubtedly, Song Chi had succeeded; the other party had proactively brought up this matter.
Before this, he had considered forcefully subjugating Zhou Ping through a Master-Servant Contract, easily enslaving him. With Zhou Ping as a foothold, he could extend his reach into the Ancient Immortal Domain Continent Ruins.
The only problem was that over the centuries, the meticulously crafted identity of the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace would inevitably have loopholes. Even if Zhou Ping didn't reveal anything, the high-ranking members of the Luo Fu Sword Sect might still discover the truth. Moreover, the 'Divine Kingdom Task Platform' had a 'Divine Kingdom Teleportation' channel. Over time, this secret might eventually be exposed.
This was the reason he had hesitated to act until now.
But now, with the Sect Master of the Luo Fu Sword Sect taking the initiative to speak, the situation was entirely different. Not only would it not affect the identity of the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace, but it also provided an opportunity to take the first step towards the long-desired Ancient Immortal Domain Continent Ruins.
Song Chi carefully considered for a moment, then offered two choices.
'Indeed, I have a considerable interest in the Ancient Immortal Domain Continent. With that, you have two choices, and you may choose either one:'
'First: Become a Multiverse Walker under my command. This option requires signing a Walker Contract, swearing eternal loyalty to me with your soul as a pledge. As a reward, you will receive a permanent Vortex Market Projection Token. If you encounter life-threatening danger, you can seek refuge in the Multiverse Marketplace at any time, summoning a Vortex Market Projection to fight against your enemies. If your performance is good in the future, you may even have the opportunity to obtain higher-level Vortex Market Tokens. Moreover, this will not conflict with your development in the Luo Fu Sword Sect or your personal growth.'
'Second: You don't need to sign any contract. Within the rules of the Vortex Market, you can exchange for a Vortex Market Projection Token. If you choose this option, you will not be able to obtain higher-level Vortex Market Tokens in the future. And if you encounter a crisis of extreme intensity, I may refuse to respond to your summons!'
According to Song Chi's thoughts, he was tempted to list only the first option, directly revoking the second choice. But to maintain his public image, he couldn't do that.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Back in the medical repair chamber, Zhang Lingxuan's eyes flashed, but he didn't immediately make a choice.
Obviously, these two options made him a little hesitant.
Song Chi would never rush him; a transcendent being like him wouldn't care too much about a small sixth-rank lifeform's decision.
What he wanted to show was an air of nonchalance, making Zhang Lingxuan believe that he had many Multiverse Walkers under his command and didn't care about adding one more or less.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Lingxuan finally made his decision.
'Luo Fu Lingxuan, I am willing to become a Multiverse Walker under your command!'
'Excellent!'
Two short words echoed in Zhang Lingxuan's mind, stirring excitement in his heart.
However, he didn't know that at that moment, Song Chi's figure suddenly disappeared from the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
Outside, in the Flame Serpent River System, Song Chi's fleet.
Song Chi's figure suddenly appeared inside a common 'Battleaxe-class' destroyer starship, jointly operated by thousands of clan members. As soon as he appeared, he immediately contacted the Flame Boiling Sea through the destroyer.
'Big Brother, may I borrow your Flame Covenant for a moment!'
Song Yan didn't hesitate and quickly sent over the Flame Covenant, which had been unloaded without damage.
In fact, there were also two similar components in the Heaven Ruin Skydome: the Master-Servant Contract and the Vow Contract.
However, the Master-Servant Contract was only silver, and the Vow Contract was merely red, which was not as effective as the Flame Covenant, which was of golden quality and more reliable.
After this, Song Chi returned to the Multiverse Marketplace and, based on the Flame Covenant component, independently drafted a Walker Contract.
As for the contract's content, he didn't add any life-or-death clauses but focused on two points: loyalty to the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace and loyalty to the Multiverse Marketplace itself.
After Zhang Lingxuan voluntarily signed the contract, Song Chi didn't release him from the medical repair chamber but handed him a Vortex Market Projection Token.
Although it was a bit reluctant, for the sake of the Star Continent-level Immortal Domain Continent, this was the only way.
Additionally, he also gave Zhang Lingxuan a black stone, um... a Projection Imperial Stone condensed from the Void Sea Projection Tomb.
'Keep these two items well, especially the black stone. When you enter the Ancient Immortal Domain Continent Ruins next time, remember to activate it directly with your internal spiritual power. At that time, I will use this as a medium to dispatch my subordinates to explore the Immortal Domain Continent.'
After giving these instructions, Song Chi added one last sentence:
'The next Vortex Market transaction will open in half a month. At that time, you can return to the Chaos World on your own.'
...
Half a month later, the Vortex Market transaction reopened, and Zhou Ping naturally arrived as promised, his eyes filled with excitement at the sight of his fully recovered Sect Master.
During this period, the Luo Fu Sword Sect had faced significant pressure. The True Immortals who had successfully ascended to the seventh rank were restricted and found it difficult to return to the Chaos World, but there were many Return to Void Cultivators from various forces.
To relieve the pressure on the sect, a Spirit Transformation Elder of the Sword Sect attempted to break through to the Return to Void stage but failed due to insufficient foundation. It could be said that in recent times, the atmosphere within the Luo Fu Sword Sect had reached a low point. If no one took control of the situation, the sect might fall apart.
Now, with the return of the Sect Master, it was undoubtedly excellent news for the entire Luo Fu Sword Sect.
Besides Zhou Ping, the other Vortex Market Elders were also shocked. If they had doubts about Zhou Ping's easy recovery before, they were now convinced. After all, the Sect Master had been at death's door, and yet he was saved.
After witnessing this, the various alien races were more determined in their previous beliefs.
They had decided that if they ever suffered severe injuries in the future, they would beg the Sovereign of the Multiverse Marketplace to help, no matter the cost.
