#728 - The wealth of the ninth-level snake demon

"Due to some reasons, the top-notch core differentiation techniques of the floating land origin in the clan cannot be passed on to others. This [Three-part Return to Origin Method] can only be regarded as a medium-ranked secret technique among such techniques..."

In the main hall of [Yaoguang Star Tower], Baimei, who had logged in in real form, handed a green tortoise shell filled with mysterious energy to Song Chi.

There are a large number of laws and texts engraved on this green tortoise shell, which record the [Three-Part Return to Origin Method] mentioned by Baimei.

[Three-part Return to Origin Method] is a medium-level secret technique for differentiating the origin core of a floating land. After successful comprehension, it can consume a large amount of resources to divide the origin core of a designated floating land into three parts.

Similarly, in the future, it would naturally be possible to fuse up to three starry sea wonders. As far as Song Chi knew, the Changsun family of the prosperous Tang Dynasty used this level of differentiation secret technique.

After receiving the green tortoise shell, although Song Chi was excited, he did not behave rudely. His eyes only swept over the tortoise shell and then quickly turned back to Bai Mei's face.

It would be a lie to say that he was not grateful for everything Baimei had done. He just asked a question tentatively with the [Yaoguang Star Order] and the other party responded immediately. Moreover, he came directly with the [Three-Point Return to Origin Method] secret technique. How could he not be grateful for such trust and support?

But after thinking about the resources he currently had, Song Chi found that apart from the [Golden Apple] and the seventh-level [Time Realm Fruit], he actually had nothing else to give in return.

More importantly, he currently has two unripe eighth-level [Golden Apples] in his hand, but he does have two seventh-level [Time Realm Fruits].

Thinking of this, Song Chi seemed to have made a decision.

He just opened his mouth and said:

"Bai Mei, I have been indebted to you many times. I will not say any more empty words of gratitude. Well... you have now boarded the Star Destroyer Captain. If you are going to attack the Galaxy Ship later, remember to notify me."

His words may seem plain, but if you know him well, you will definitely be able to hear the special promise in them.

This is no longer just an ordinary solemn statement, but also a promise from Song Chi.

As if she had heard the hidden meaning in the words, the coldness on Baimei's face dissipated a little, but she still retained her habit of speaking like golden words and just nodded slightly.

…

After obtaining the secret technique of [Three-Part Return to Origin Method], Song Chi quickly returned to Longji Continent.

Song Wujiang and others had been picked up by him earlier. Now that they saw that he had really obtained the secret technique of differentiating the core of the origin of the floating land, everyone's laughter quickly echoed in the Dragon Whale Hall.

"Although according to what Xiaochi said, this [Three-part Return to Origin Method] secret technique can only be regarded as a barely passing one among the differentiation secret techniques, but for us, it is enough to support us for a long time in the future..."

Song Wujiang's voice rang out in the hall, and then he continued to add:

"But if we use the seventh-level [Time Realm Fruit] as a condition for exchange, will we be in a passive position?"

Song Wujiang's words were not directed at anyone, and he was not the kind of person who did not know what was good for him. This [Three-Part Return to Origin Method] was enough to be included in the secret technique of some giant forces. The other party was willing to take it out for a trade, which was already an act of friendship.

The reason for asking this question is entirely from the perspective of family safety, and it is not directed at or suspected of anyone.

Song Chi was also very clear about this, so he had no other thoughts in his mind, but quickly responded:

"Grandfather, I only intend to use the seventh-level [Time Realm Fruit] as a reward. I have not yet revealed the news of the seventh-level [Time Realm Fruit]. As for the subsequent attack on the Galaxy Ship by the other party, I will try my best to complete the upgrade of the Tianxu Cangqiong before that and eliminate all risks in advance!"

After hearing what Song Chi said, the senior members of the Song family in the hall no longer had any worries.

They all knew very well the combat capability of the Tianxu Cangqiong. Just after being promoted to a star destroyer, it had the strength to face the eighth-level snake demon overlord, and it was an eighth-level snake demon blessed with the high-level floating land origin. Similarly, once it was promoted to a galaxy ship, with the help of the projection of the Zhutianxu City, it would not be difficult to have the combat capability to face the ninth-level.

In other words, as long as the Tianxu Cangqiong is upgraded to a galaxy ship, the Song family will be able to join the ranks of super families and will no longer have to worry about the leakage of various secrets within the family.

The crowd did not dwell on the matter any further. After looking at each other, they all nodded.

Afterwards, Song Chi and others entered the secret room at the same time and began to comprehend the [Three-Part Return to Origin Method].

With the blessing of enlightenment from [Dragon Whale Hall·Starry Sky Throne], and multiple blessings such as [Double Pupils] and [Enlightenment Cushion·Fake], Song Chi was the first to complete the comprehension of [Three-Part Return to Origin Method].

After that, the others also came out one after another and began to deal with the subsequent problems of differentiating the origin core of the Dragon Ridge Continent.

Just over a month later, in the core space of the Dragon Ridge Continent.

Song Chi, Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan, Song Yan and many others all gathered here.

"Xiaochi, let's start!"

"Um!"

As Song Chi mobilized the phantom energy in his body with all his strength, a large amount of seventh-level phantom energy began to emerge in the core space of the earth. Under Song Chi's full control, this vast phantom energy was compressed and purified again and again.

Finally, a large amount of compressed and purified pure psionic energy was continuously sent into the origin core of the Dragon Spine Continent suspended in front.

The injection of these pure psionic energies seemed to have triggered some special chemical reaction. The origin core of the Dragon Spine Continent's floating land began to vibrate violently. As the origin core of a floating land, it could be said that a single move could affect the entire body. The violent trembling of the floating land's origin core also triggered a reaction from the Dragon Spine Continent outside.

For a time, there were strong winds blowing over the entire continent, clouds were surging in the sky, and there were even many incidents of earth dragons turning over in every corner of the floating land.

The earth is filled with murderous intent, and dragons and snakes emerge from the land.

Fortunately, these strange phenomena did not last long. In less than ten minutes, they disappeared one after another, and the entire Dragon Ridge Continent returned to peace again.

However, what the ordinary members of the Song family did not know was that in just these few short minutes, the Dragon Ridge Continent beneath their feet had undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the core space, everyone stared at the front. The core of the Dragon Spine Continent, which was originally just a single mass, was now split into three. Although these three parts were much smaller than before, they were truly divided.

Behind him, Song Xingru's voice just sounded, and soon Song Shixing interrupted:

"Yes, there is a high possibility that there is a large part of the wealth of a ninth-level eight-armed snake demon among them. He was able to push the devouring progress of the [Shell of the Sky-Swallowing Python] to 62% by himself. His status among the ninth-level snake demon masters of the eight-armed snake demon civilization is definitely not low, and he must have a lot of good things in his hands..."

In fact, there was no need for the two of them to speak, Song Chi himself was the same.

He was also very curious about the wealth of a senior ninth-level or even a peak ninth-level snake demon lord.

If it weren't for the fact that the origin of the strange object itself was damaged, and its "Sumeru Python Belly" space was also affected, and could not be forced open too aggressively, otherwise there would be a certain probability that the Sumeru space would collapse directly, he would definitely be the first person to open this Python Belly space.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A faint light flickered between the eyebrows, and the space of the ancestral orifice of the fire quickly opened.

Then a ball of three-colored light rushed out from the ancestral space and was quickly sent to one of the two blank floating land origin cores in front.

Buzz!

There was a slight tremor from the origin core, but it did not produce too much rejection, and [Shedding of the Sky-Swallowing Python] was quickly merged into this blank origin core.

The Dragon Ridge Continent is just a seventh-level floating land. At this moment, the origin core of the floating land has been divided into three parts. Compared with a colorful mythical wonder, the origin contained in the origin core is naturally far from enough.

Fortunately, the eight-armed snake demon was not completely unprepared when it forcibly stripped off the [Shell of the Sky-Swallowing Python]. At least the origin of the [Shell of the Sky-Swallowing Python] was not seriously damaged. With the continuous nourishment of one-third of the origin of the Dragon Ridge Continent, the origin of the [Shell of the Sky-Swallowing Python] was rapidly repairing.

Of course, this so-called speed is only relative. In the end, the Song family and others still waited for several years, and even returned to the front-line fleet to deal with many things.

But compared to the damage to the origin of colorful wonders, which often takes thousands or even tens of thousands of years to fully recover, these few years can indeed be considered fast.

…

It is still the Dragon Ridge Sacred Mountain, deep inside the mountain is the Dragon Whale Palace.

Thick chaotic fog slowly enveloped the entire hall, isolating the inside and outside of the hall.

In the main hall, dozens of the Song family's core senior executives sat upright. It could be clearly seen that everyone present at this moment revealed an unconcealable expectation and eagerness in their eyes.

Just recently, [Shedding of the Sky-Swallowing Python] had completely recovered.

Song Yiming's voice came out slowly from the high platform in the hall.

It was actually a comprehensive summary of the attribute changes of [Shell-Swallowing Python].

As another rising star in the family after Song Chi and Song Yan, Song Yiming has long been among the core senior members of the family after being promoted to Captain Dreadnought. In addition, he has been in charge of guarding the Dragon Ridge Continent in recent times and has a comprehensive understanding of the recent changes of [Shell-Swallowing Python's Metamorphosis], so he came specially to preside over this summary.

"With the recent complete fusion of [Shedding of the Sky-Swallowing Python] with the core of the Dragon Spine Continent's origin, including the recovery of its own rare origin, its properties have changed as follows:"

"Except for the few items that did not change much, there are three attributes that have changed significantly:

{Mythology Metamorphosis: Actively evolve a certain designated item by one quality. The level of the evolved item cannot be higher than or equal to [Sky-Swallowing Python Metamorphosis] itself. The cooldown period is determined by the quality of the evolved item. The minimum is no less than 500 years and the maximum is no more than 3,000 years.}

{Three-color Spirit Seal: stamp the designated creature with the "Spirit Seal of the Sky-Swallowing Python". The creature stamped with the Spirit Seal will have a special induction with the Sky-Swallowing Python's Transformation. The current number of Spirit Seals is (24/10000).}

{Sumeru Extraction: Living beings with (Swallowing Heaven Python Spirit Seal) can ignore space every hundred years and have the authority to extract ten items from the {Sumeru Python Belly}. This authority cannot be added and will be recalculated after a hundred years.}”

After listening to what Song Yiming said, Song Chi and others were very satisfied. Everything else was fine, but what they were mainly concerned about was the number of "Heaven-Swallowing Python Spirit Seals".

Before this, the upper limit of spiritual seals was only 1,000. Now, with the blessing of the Dragon Ridge Continent, it has increased tenfold.

Ten thousand places can barely include all the core members of the family, and this is just the Dragon Spine Continent, which has just reached the peak of level seven. When the Dragon Spine Continent is promoted to level eight, the number of places will most likely increase dramatically.

In addition, the cooling time of its "Mythical Transformation" has also been reduced to a certain extent. As the Song family's inheritance time increases, the role of this attribute will become more and more important.

Secondly, for members bound by the Heaven-Devouring Python Spirit Seal, the number of items that can be extracted from the Sumeru Python's belly space on their own every hundred years has also increased to ten, which will be of greater help to them in exploring alien star regions.

All in all, with the successful and thorough integration with the origin core of the Dragon Ridge Continent, the properties of this [Shellfall of the Sky-Swallowing Python] are becoming more and more amazing.

But this is only secondary. Right now, everyone's attention in the hall is basically focused on Song Yiming.

In other words, it is about what he will report later.

Staring at the fiery gazes of the family elders, Song Yiming continued to speak.

"The next step is to calculate the items previously stored in the "Sumeru Python Belly" space."

"The most valuable items among them are a piece of black-quality ship armor [Golden Hull Armor of Primordial Unity] and a black-quality [Light of Dawn] Galaxy Cannon."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"There are also two black artifacts that cannot be transformed into shipboard parts, [Shen Shen Cang Cold Fire] and [Heavenly Emperor Seal]."

"Next are nearly twenty golden sacred artifacts, twelve of which can be transformed into shipboard parts, including energy shields, ship armor, super main guns, jump devices, and other parts."

"In addition to the black and gold items, there are nearly a hundred silver legendary items, and the red and lower items exceed six figures..."

"In addition, there are 20 ninth-level master true spirits, 240 eighth-level master true spirits, 1,800 seventh-level master creatures, 8 tenth-level floating land origins, and 780 ninth-level floating land origins..."

At this point, the dozen or so people in the hall began breathing heavier.

Just what Song Yiming just revealed is already an enormous fortune for the entire Song family.

But what made them even more heartbroken was that before Song Chi forcibly removed the Sky-Swallowing Python Spirit Seal of all the eight-armed snake demons, a lot of the most valuable things in the python's belly space might have been forcibly taken away.

This is most likely the main reason why the space in the Sumeru Python's belly closed on its own. Fortunately, its origin was damaged and it closed itself off inside and outside, otherwise even the only four black objects, including the more than ten golden objects, would have been lost.

Apart from these golden and black rare objects, the most valuable ones are the 20 ninth-level sovereign true spirits, including the 8 strands of tenth-level floating land origins.

These are extremely rare top-level enhanced resources, and are also what the Tianxu Cangqiong urgently needs to replenish, including the eldest brother Song Yan.

Song Chi and others did not interrupt Song Yiming, he continued to report.

"In addition to the above, the space in the belly of the Sumeru Python also contains a large number of various rare mineral resources, including more than three million titanium crystals, five million law stones, one hundred thousand eternal stone bricks, twelve silver star bracelet mothers, and more than fifty various types of mineral vein cores, but they are all relatively ordinary mineral veins, and there is no titanium crystal mineral vein core."

"Oh, there's something very special..."

…

At this point, Song Yiming had basically finished reporting on all the items in the Sumeru Python's belly, but at the end, he took out something very special.

"Is this chaos energy?"

The moment he saw this special item, Song Chi blurted out subconsciously.

This attracted the attention of the old ancestor beside him.

"Xiao Chi, do you know this thing?"

Song Chi shook his head.

"We'll have to wait and see for details."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to reach out and take the thing from Song Yiming's hand. As he got closer, Song Chi's eyes gradually brightened.

Even though he was still a little unsure at the beginning, he was completely certain after this palm-sized crystal ball, which radiated rich chaotic energy, projected a special attribute panel in front of his eyes.

[Name: Chaos Nest Core]

【Level: Earth level】

[Status: Cleared (Can be challenged repeatedly)]

[Challenge rewards: Star Sea Rare Item (extremely low probability), Floating Land Origin (must be obtained), Dominant True Spirit (low probability)...]

[Note: This is what a low-level Chaos Nest on the Chaos God Land was transformed into after it was completely opened up. It can continuously produce various resources.]

After reading all these attributes, Song Chi said to himself, "As expected."

He had experienced a similar challenge in the [Big Dipper Hall] before, but the one he challenged was a heaven-level chaos nest, while the one in front of him was an earth-level one.

Just by hearing the name, it is not difficult to guess that the challenge difficulty of this Earth-level Chaos Lair should be lower than that of the Heaven-level, but there is a high probability that the rewards after the challenge will be discounted.

Song Chi estimated that this Earth-level Chaos Lair Core should have been accidentally obtained by the subordinates of the Ninth-Rank Snake Demon Lord on the Chaos God Land.

But no matter what, the value of this thing in your hand is extremely high. It can continuously produce various resources and even rare objects. Its value is difficult to measure with specific numbers.

Especially the Dominant True Spirit. Although the core attribute introduction of the nest states that there is only a small probability of producing it, its value cannot be denied.

We are currently in the midst of a great civilization war. Even though the Song family is able to actively hunt high-level snake demon overlords, they are still in great need of overlord spirits. It is conceivable that this problem will only become more serious after the civilization war is over. This chaos nest core can alleviate this problem to a certain extent.

Next, Song Chi explained the specific usage of the Chaos Nest Core, and then, to be on the safe side, he tried it himself.

With the continuous injection of psionic energy, the core of the chaos nest was quickly activated. Then, just like last time, Song Chi entered the special chaos nest space together with the Tianxu Cangqiong.

During this period, he tried to activate the [Xinghai Market Order] again, but there was still no change.

However, Song Chi did not think that the status of the core of the Chaos Nest was beyond the Zhutian Market. The fundamental reason lay in the mysterious Chaos Divine Land.

As for the results of the subsequent challenges, Song Chi completed them easily.

The blood-colored creatures refreshed by this earth-level chaos nest are far inferior to those of the sky-level chaos nest, both in quantity and quality. In addition, the Tianxu Cangqiong has now been promoted to a star destroyer, so there is basically no challenge difficulty.

Fortunately, the final harvest was good. There were not only forty seventh-level dominant true spirits, but also dozens of seventh-level floating land origins, as well as some mid- and high-level mineral resources.

Unfortunately, after the challenge was over, he discovered that this Chaos Nest was not challengeable indefinitely. He didn't know about the Heavenly Level Chaos Nest, but this Earth Level Chaos Nest could only be challenged once every hundred years.

[Chaos Lair Core] was finally placed in the Dragon's Back Secret Realm. Although the time acceleration in the secret realm had no effect on it, at least the secret realm was safe enough.

Afterwards, a group of core members began to distribute the resources in the Sumeru Python's belly.

Originally it was the family property of the ninth-rank snake demon lord, so they were naturally rude. Now that the war of civilizations has not yet ended, the more strength they can gain, the safer they will be in the future, and the family will also be able to gain more benefits in the future.

Song Chi's request was the simplest. He sent two black, six gold, twenty-one silver, and more red and below items that could not be converted into shipborne parts to the item exchange shop in the market.

Recently, a lot of things in the Item Exchange Shop were traded away by Brook Benjamin and the Komoyin Giant Snake Warlock Family. This time, not only were they replenished, but the number of items in the Item Exchange Shop was further increased.

Song Chi couldn't help but sigh at the astonishing wealth of a ninth-level master.

Apart from that, he only needed one part, a special silver part.
