But it stops here, for further north lies a very powerful empire, the Holy Empire directly under the ancient Heavenly Righteous God, the "Eternal Great Sun."
What is a direct Holy Empire?
The entire empire is completely ruled by a True God Church, entirely devoted to that Righteous God, and possesses at least one Divine Favored Saint of that God. This is what defines a direct Holy Empire.
The empire north of the Red Maple Kingdom under the Song Family’s domain is called the Holy Fierce Sun Empire, stretching nearly two light-years, with over a million Eternal Great Sun Churches, and an Eternal Bishop of the ninth rank on both hands.
The Eternal Great Archbishop of the Eternal Fierce Sun Holy City is said to be of the ninth rank extre level. As a Divine Favored Saint, he can serve as a vessel for the god’s descent, briefly ushering in the avatar of the ancient deity, the Eternal Great Sun, in which state he undeniably wields true mythical battle power.
In the face of such a colossal entity, the Song Family is overwhelmingly pressured, so how dare they continue to advance?
Fortunately, over these centuries, it is not only the Dragon Spine Song Family who have pushed this far, several immortal giant forces, including the Langya ng Family under the Xian Qin Divine Dynasty, have as well.
In confronting the supre empire to the north, several have reacted almost identically. Three immortal giants each harboring ninth rank battle power, along with two leading forces of eighth rank, forged an alliance to collectively resist the enormous northern empire.
...
Of the family’s large-scale actions, Song Chi was unaware; he had been in closed-door training within the All-Attributes Cultivation Room all along.
Ti passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, a millennium had gone by.
On this day, the monthly trading at Zhu Tian Ruins Market resud.
Compared to the past, there was little change in this market trade, save for the core Song Family mbers gathered in the market being different from before Song Chi’s seclusion.
Though they exuded only an interdiate rank life aura, their trade dealings were shockingly large in scale during each transaction.
They engaged in continuous mutual trading among themselves, typically without any haggling, simply agreeing to the stated prices—a truly refreshing approach.
"Brother Song Yao, what’s the price of this silver oddity?"
"100 strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin."
The offered price greatly exceeded the normal market value, yet the person asking showed no hesitation and directly nodded in agreent.
"Alright, I’ll take it!"
Soon, this entirely "voluntary" transaction between both parties was accomplished just like that.
Once the transaction was officially completed, the 100 strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin that had just reached Song Yao’s hands automatically diminished by a few strands, corresponding to transaction taxes levied by the market.
This was not an isolated incident; throughout every corner of the free stall area, these interdiate-rank family mbers of Song Family engaged repeatedly in transactions, undeterred by trading Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin or silver oddities, even Ninth Rank Floating Land Origin and golden oddities were traded in abundance, enthusiastically.
If other Song Family mbers were present, it would be clear these oddities and Floating Land Origin were the spoils gathered by the family from the entire Red Maple Kingdom this ti.
Additionally, the family relied on their advantages to sell basic Torch supplies and mid to high-end chanical creations in the Heavenly Realm while earning resources by profiting from the price differences.
At this point, the Song Family mber on duty guarding the All-Attributes Cultivation Room relayed a ssage:
"Urgent news, Chi Ancestor has erged from seclusion!"
"What, Chi Ancestor has really erged?"
"Quick, quick, quick, let’s go welco him."
...
In front of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, completely concealed by the Ruins Market Origin Power, hundreds of core interdiate-rank mbers of the Song Family gathered, respectfully gazing at the entrance of the cultivation room.
After a few seconds, Song Chi, who had been secluded for over a millennium, erged.
Seeing these family mbers welcoming him, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"What are you all doing here?"
"Response to Chi Ancestor, today marks the monthly market day, and we were following your instructions before your retreat to vigorously boost the market’s high-rank trading volu."
Song Chi chuckled and nodded, quickly bringing up the attribute panel for Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
[Na: Zhu Tian Ruins Market]
[Market Master: Song Chi]
[Level: lv83]
[Size: 2900000km x 2900000km]
...
[Upgrade Requirent: 400 strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin, market trading volu of one million strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin (3,985,000/1,000,000), 1 Eighth Rank Dominator True Spirit]
Gazing at the last column of the attribute panel before him, Song Chi felt both joy and a deep sense of bewildernt.
Three million nine hundred eighty-five thousand strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin, even with the Song Family’s now vastly increased foundation, including the control over several Eighth Rank Floating Lands like the Dragon Spine Continent, the birthing of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin by Eighth Level Floating Lands takes ti, and the Floating Land itself requires nurturing by Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin. The actual yearly yield of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin is quite limited.
Adding the consumption for enhancent by several Star Destroyer Captains, the need for the cultivation of the Guidance Technique, and the minimum consumption for enslaved species, the near four million Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin greatly surpassed his original expectations.
As if sensing the question swirling in the mind of this first family elder, Battleship Captain Song Yao promptly explained all the recent events within the Heavenly Realm.
"The Heavenly Realm, equivalent in position to a sealed star domain of an Eleventh Rank Star Continent, I see..."
Murmuring, Song Chi soon understood. Once the group of core interdiate family mbers departed, after the market trade, he eagerly began the promotion of Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
Following several tremors, the market level rapidly ascended, eventually reaching lv88—only a step away from lv89.
[Upgrade Requirent: 900 strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin, market trading volu of four hundred fifty thousand strands of Eighth Rank Floating Land Origin (3,985,000/4,500,000), 1 Eighth Rank Dominator True Spirit]
Watching the market level soar along, Song Chi was quite pleased.
Originally, in his plan, this exit from seclusion would at most raise the market to lv86, or if luck was poor, even lv85. The present outco indeed provided him with a significant surprise.
Furthermore, according to prior statents from core family mbers, a special-level package seed to have been stored within the market’s sealed storage chamber.
Driven by curiosity, Song Chi headed straight for the sealed storage chamber.
Upon retrieving the high-level storage capsule personally delivered by Song Xuancang, Song Chi decided to open it directly.
Bright red light shot out from the gap of the capsule as it was opened. Upon recognizing the source of the red glow, even Song Chi couldn’t help but have his pupils contract sharply.
"This... this is..."
"Tenth Rank Evil God’s Blood!"
Tenth Rank Evil God’s Blood, a suprely rare resource that can even sowhat influence a Superdinsional Mother Ship attempting to ascend to a Mythical Immortal Ship, its value surpassing that of a single colorful mythical artifact.
Song Chi had never expected the family to send a drop of Tenth Rank Evil God’s Blood.
Half an hour later, after inquiring into the specifics from a few elders, Song Chi instinctively marveled at the good fortune of the family’s pioneering fleet.
Tenth Rank Evil God’s Blood, this caliber of additional ascension resource, even for a Tenth Ranked Evil God of the Heavenly Realm itself, requires a long ti to replenish each drop lost. Typically, a Tenth Rank Evil God would not easily bestow Tenth Rank level Evil God’s Blood upon their followers, at most giving blood of the Eighth Rank or Ninth Rank level.
Only an advanced cult like the Blood Moon Sect, which has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, has a long-standing tradition, and rendered great service to the Crimson Moon, would harbor such a level of Evil God’s Blood in reserve, and it just happens to be acquired by the Song Family—they truly have unmatched luck.
Thinking of this, Song Chi could not help but feel a bit torn.
He was contemplating the usage plan for this drop of Tenth Rank Evil God’s Blood.
During this seclusion, his progress in the Guidance Technique was unusually smooth. Over the millennia, with various auxiliary supports and the remaining Ho Spirit Fruits, the Guidance Technique successfully broke through to lv89.
This ans that upon the Shenxia Continent’s push to the Star Continent, he can formally attempt to have the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong advance to the Superdinsional Mother Ship.
And it is precisely this point that causes his dilemma.
While the Tenth Rank Evil God’s Blood offers a greater auxiliary effect for the Star River Ship’s attempt to beco a Superdinsional Mother Ship, boosting the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s promotion success rate by over 10%, it can similarly support attempts to ascend to a Tenth Rank Mythical Immortal Ship. Although its effect may not be extrely favorable, resources capable of impacting such mythical advancent intrinsically have value beyond 99% of high-rank resources.
Should it be utilized soon for the Superdinsional Mother Ship attempt, or should it be reserved for future usage during the Mythical Immortal Ship advancent—this indeed poses a difficult choice.
