"Attribute description? Void Energy?"
"Could it be the Void Energy I gained control over after awakening the Kindling Seed that caused this mutation?"
"Besides, this Star Sea Market Token is actually a Star Sea Marvel—and an unheard-of growth-type one at that. The name sounds pretty impressive, though."
Countless thoughts surfaced in Song Chi's mind. Then, another flash of inspiration struck him.
His focus sharpened as he began mobilizing the scant Void Energy within his body, gathering it in his right palm before slowly channeling it into the token in his hand.
The next moment, a sudden change occurred.
A powerful pulling force enveloped his entire body. Song Chi immediately sensed danger, but before he could stop channeling Void Energy into the token, intense dizziness surged into his mind.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, he opened his eyes at once and swiftly scanned his surroundings several times.
Only after confirming that there was no danger nearby did he relax slightly. Even so, he did not dare lower his guard completely. He had already confirmed one thing: this was not his bedroom, but an entirely unfamiliar place.
Once the intense nausea finally subsided, Song Chi began carefully examining his surroundings.
At that moment, waves of warmth flowed from the bronze Star Sea Market Token still clutched tightly in his hand. Just as he lowered his head to inspect it, unfamiliar information suddenly appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
Name: None Market Master: Song Chi Level: lv0 Dimensions: 100m x 100m Basic Facilities: 10 vacant shops, 1 10m x 10m street-stall area, 1 one-story inn (accommodates 10 people), 1 lv0 All-Attribute Cultivation Room (doubles efficiency during Void Energy cultivation), 1 lv0 Void Energy Protective Array, 1 lv0 Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform. Additional Facilities: None (0/2) Trait: Disaster Evasion (can move freely through the void and instinctively evade natural disasters) Upgrade Requirements: 10 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Tier 0), total market transaction volume of 100 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Tier 0) Remarks: An inconspicuous little market located on the dark side of the Shattered Star Sea. It appears to permit entry only to lifeforms below Tier 1, but fortunately, it has considerable potential.
Several minutes later, after Song Chi had roughly sorted through the information in his mind, his eyes gradually lit up. The excitement in his heart was beyond words.
He turned around and looked through the semicircular Void Energy protective barrier behind him. Outside lay a pitch-black void.
Far away, terrifying Void Storms roared past one after another. Dense spatial cracks trailed in their wake, tearing space itself apart. Song Chi's scalp went numb at the sight.
As far as he knew, tearing space apart was something only Kindling Starships enhanced to extremely high levels could accomplish. Yet within this black void, storms capable of such destruction seemed to be everywhere.
But he soon recalled something, and the fear in his eyes slowly faded.
According to the information he had sorted through, he was currently within a special secret realm floating amid the void rifts on the dark side of the Shattered Star Sea. It was said to be the creation of an ancient civilization that called itself the "Immortal Domain."
Because a powerful figure from that Ancient Immortal Domain Civilization had installed a rare Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform within this realm, it had always served as a trading market connecting far-flung regions.
Furthermore, it possessed the rare trait of "Disaster Evasion," allowing it to autonomously avoid the Void Storms within the spatial rifts. This was the fundamental reason it had been able to drift through the void for countless tens of thousands of years.
Thinking of this trait, Song Chi finally felt completely at ease.
From what he knew, this market had gone unclaimed for tens of thousands of years before him. Yet it had not been destroyed by the Void Storms during all that time, which was enough to show just how powerful the "Disaster Evasion" trait was.
With his concerns completely gone, he began inspecting the entire market. Perhaps because it had consumed enormous amounts of energy in the void without receiving any new supply, this once-prosperous market secret realm had shrunk to its limit over tens of thousands of years. Its length, width, and height were each no more than a hundred meters—pitifully small.
Along both sides of its only street stood ten storefronts, one inn, and street-stall spaces, all evenly distributed.
At the innermost end of the street on the left was the market's only All-Attribute Cultivation Room. Directly opposite it stood the market's core structure—
the Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform.
As his gaze settled on these two special buildings, Song Chi quickly obtained their detailed attributes.
Name: All-Attribute Cultivation Room Level: lv0 Effect: When cultivating inside the cultivation room, cultivation speed increases by 200%. When the cultivator is cultivating Void Energy, cultivation speed increases by 400%. Specifications: Single-person cultivation room Remarks: An ultra-high-spec cultivation room created by a powerful figure from the Star Sea's "Immortal Domain Civilization." After being modified with the special energy known as "Void Energy," cultivating Void Energy within it receives an additional boost. Upgrade Requirements: Market level lv1, 10 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Tier 0)
Name: Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform Level: lv0 Effect: After activation, it will randomly deploy 10 space gates throughout the Shattered Star Sea that allow entry to and exit from the market. The space gates last for 24 hours and have a cooldown of 720 hours. Space Gate Restriction: Due to the market's current rank, lifeforms of Star Sea Tier 1 and above cannot currently pass through the space gates. Remarks: A miraculous structure created by a powerful figure from the Star Sea's "Immortal Domain Civilization." Its function is far from ordinary. Upgrade Requirements: Market level lv1, 10 strands of Floating Continent Essence (Tier 0)
After reviewing the attributes of both structures, Song Chi was eager to give it a try. He could not wait to test the effects of the Ultra-Long Range Random Space Gate Deployment Platform.
Thanks to the Star Sea Market Token, he was now the new master of this market. It could be said that within this market, he controlled all the rules. So long as no lifeform exceeding the market's own rank entered, he was practically invincible here.
Now that he knew he would not face any danger, of course he wanted to test the market's core function: connecting different starfields of the Shattered Star Sea and communicating and trading with all kinds of foreign Star Sea civilizations.
And he could not forget that the market's future upgrades also required a certain amount of "transaction volume."
Unless he was content with the current tiny dimensions of 100m x 100m and intended to trade only with Tier 0 Star Sea races in the future, he would have to make regular use of this space gate deployment platform.
After struggling with the decision for quite a while, he ultimately suppressed the impulse in his heart.
