Global Era of Star trekking Chapter 1852 - 900: [Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate] and [Eight Mystical Transformation Art]

Previously on Global Era of Star trekking...

Song Chi's Mirror Image Warship faced a dire assault from the Mythical Origin Spore Enslavement within the Spore Virus Divine Realm, as the Multi-Virus Original Core's shadow forced assimilation into its core, overwhelming the purification defenses. Detecting the intrusion through their soul link, Song Chi swiftly commanded the warship's self-destruction to sever the connection, sacrificing the vessel but preserving control and securing the coveted Three-Colored Wonder—a superior Soul Devouring Altar. Though the act enraged the Multi-Dimensional Crystal Wall Corrupt Poison Mushroom, sparking chaos in the distant nebula, Song Chi turned his focus to repairing his damaged components and preparing for Torch Civilization's expanding territorial campaigns, while responding to a summons from the Big Dipper Star Lord.

Heavenly Ruins Divine Court, Heavenly Ruins Continent, Dragon Spine Divine Mountain Guest Hall.

Clad in a robe woven from stars, the Beidou Star Lord had faint starlight swirling gently about his body. The spectral energy he possessed, now at the senior ninth rank, amplified the formidable presence he released without intent. Still, in this instant, the eagerness and expectation shining in his features proved impossible to mask.

He remained motionless in the hall's midst, standing with deep respect as he awaited Song Chi's presence.

Before long, a ripple in space caught the Beidou Star Lord's notice, and a silhouette materialized silently overhead in the vast chamber.

"Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall·Beidou Star Lord, greets His Majesty Emperor Song!"

Song Chi gave a subtle nod, signaling that such rituals weren't required.

"What prompts this summons?"

At those words, the Beidou Star Lord lowered himself once more, his stance filled with utmost humility:

"Yes, forgive the disturbance, but the Beidou lineage carries a plea to Your Majesty and seeks your gracious understanding."

With a flick of his sleeve, Song Chi sent a soft power to raise the Beidou Star Lord: "Skip the formalities; we've shared a long acquaintance, so just say what's on your mind."

The Beidou Star Lord drew in a steady breath, fixing Song Chi with eyes alight with passion:

"Very well, my thanks, Your Majesty. Through thousands of years of preparation, the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall has drained its reserves, at last enabling one enslaved ninth rank being to hit the pinnacle of that stage. Yet pushing toward the mythical rank poses immense challenges. For this visit, we desire a {Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill}. We beseech Your Majesty to bestow it with generosity!"

Here, the Beidou Star Lord bent low again, his voice brimming with earnestness:

"This elixir holds the key to the Beidou lineage upholding its status as an Immortal Giant, safeguarding our legacy of twenty millennia. I beg Your Majesty to grant this wish; the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall stands ready to offer whatever cost."

Song Chi kept his face steady, his mind unmoved by surprise.

While he had resolved to provide the pill, it wouldn't come freely. After a brief reflection, he replied in measured tones:

"As you know, crafting the {Mixed Elemental Infinite Pill} demands great effort. Even relying on the All Heavens Ruins Market's supreme arts, it can't be made lightly, given the vast resources involved..."

"Fear not, Your Majesty; the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall fully grasps this!" the Beidou Star Lord hastened to assure, "For this exchange, I've consulted the hall masters and Star Venerables, and we're prepared to trade two treasures for the sacred pill!"

Turning his palm upward, he unveiled a small artifact the size of a hand, forged as if from cosmic dust, bearing the etched Big Dipper constellation and subtle illusions of landscapes and peaks, manifesting as an antique formation disk.

Vast and enigmatic spatial waves pulsed from the array plate, with vibrant lights flowing across it, its level clearly attaining the colorful upper tier.

"This serves as one of the protective relics of our Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall, the {Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate}. Our hall offers its exclusive duplication right."

Hearing this, Song Chi extended his hand to draw the five-hued marvel closer, swiftly grasping its full properties.

{Oddity: Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate}

{Quality: Colorful/Upper}

{Convertible: No}

{Unique Effect: {Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array}}

{Note: The ancient Heaven and Earth Array plate of the Nine Heavens Qiankun Immortal Sect’s sect-protecting formation, possessing formidable defensive might.}

...

{Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array: Based on the integrated Starry Sea Floating Land as a foundation, referencing the Floating Land Shield, it evolves a layer that intermingles with the original Floating Land Shield into a dual-layered Qiankun array. This Qiankun array’s defensive energy level exceeds the normal Floating Land Shield five times, the shield’s recovery speed is doubled, and shield energy value is doubled.}

Having examined the details displayed, Song Chi's eyes gleamed with interest; without question, this relic, though unfit for conversion into vessel parts, held immense worth, outshining many peers of its grade.

Simply integrating it into the Heavenly Ruins Continent's Origin Core would transform the external barrier into the {Qiankun Array}, its power leaping far beyond before.

Better yet, should the Heavenly Ruins Continent ascend to Star Continent status, the boost it delivers would grow even more daunting, shrugging off all-out strikes from multiple eleventh rank mythical entities with ease.

This initial offering alone stirred strong desire in Song Chi, yet the Beidou Star Lord soon presented a second gift: a luminous scroll inscribed with myriad minute symbols, resembling neither metal nor stone.

"The next treasure is our Beidou lineage's elite Floating Land Origin Core division method – the {Eight Profound Transformation Derivation Technique}."

"At full strength, this art summons eight arcane powers, fragmenting the Floating Land Origin Core into eight segments to foster eight Starry Sea relics at once. Though it falls short of the ultimate arts splitting to nine limits or ten realms, it's scarce across the Starry Sea, vastly superior to standard division skills."

Song Chi's attention shifted between the {Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate} and the scroll outlining the {Eight Profound Transformation Derivation Technique}, a subtle thrill rising within him.

Had it been only the {Qiankun Beidou Floating Land Array Plate}, faint doubts might have lingered. After all, it provided just one duplication chance, not a direct swap of the relic itself, requiring him to supply a High Rank {Chaos Mirror Image Stone}.

Yet the added {Eight Profound Transformation Derivation Technique} swept away all reservations, leading him to accept the bargain without delay.

Across more than ten thousand years, thanks to the All Heavens Ruins Market's advantages, he had gathered various Floating Land Origin Core division arts, but the Heavenly Ruins Continent currently employed the {Five Qi Splitting Light Technique} secured amid Origin Star endeavors. Its Floating Land Origin Core now divided into five portions, supplanting the prior {Three-Part Rejuvenation Technique}.

Despite that, it felt somewhat lacking still.

From the start with the {Dragon Whale Hall} and {Heaven-Swallowing Python Shedding}, followed by a seven-colored {Candle Dragon Axe} and a five-colored {Floating Light and Shadow Platform}, the available slots now dwindled to a single remaining one.
