• The group observed that the secret realm’s manifested primordial laws aided comprehension, though Song Chi and the Lu Clan members avoided focusing on them to prevent complications assimilating their laws.
• Lu Yuankong and Lu Chuan led the group toward their destination, and a distant sixth-tier beast’s roar made Song Chi fear that the Cangqiong could be destroyed by its attack.

Song Chi joined the Lu Clan and Divine Wind Li Clan ships in hunting a half-step fifth-rank Heavenly Demon Phoenix whose marrow could greatly improve a human’s bloodline potential. After the hunt, Song Chi left the group, intending to search the Spirit Beast Secret Realm for other Heavenly Demon Phoenixes.

The six leaders of the Morning Star Duchy renegotiated shares for the coming expansion war, with the Eagle Family offering an advanced mobile warstar and Hardy Stark contributing a Golden Sanctuary Component to secure larger stakes. After the terms were settled, Song Chi learned why Anderson Stark had stopped pursuing him and decided to upgrade the Cangqiong.

• Hardy Stark challenged the old profit allocation, and Song Wujiang agreed that the Song Family should receive a larger share because he would join the fleet as a Dreadnought Captain.
• The Lu Family ancestor proposed new shares, but the Eagle Family ancestor objected and offered an advanced mobile warstar in exchange for keeping its original 7.5%.

After destroying the fourth energy gate, they faced a vastly stronger army of mechanical guards, leaving Ansewei considering retreat while Song Chi remained calm.

• Song Chi met Ansewei beyond Morning Star Yang Land, and they used the White Rose's interlocking device to deploy together to a resource-depleted floating continent.
• Ansewei guided the Cangqiong to the hidden underground entrance, where the warships descended through the ruin's outer fire-control zone under heavy laser fire.
• Song Chi and Ansewei surveyed the ruined facility and learned that Ansewei had cleared its first four zones but stopped at the fourth energy gate because of the powerful Hellfire Mechs beyond it.
• The two warships bombarded the fourth energy gate for eight days before Song Chi destroyed it with a phantom sword strike and special cobalt bombs.
• Song Chi and Ansewei saw tens of thousands of shield mechs, over ten thousand Hellfire Mechs, and two enormous fourth-rank Hellfire Mechs in the fifth zone; Ansewei considered retreat while Song Chi stayed calm.

Song Chi and Ansewei cleared the ruin’s tenth area and found two red curios, choosing the Mother-Child Spirit-Control Ring and Micro-Mass Atomic Repair Unit between them. They stood before the final gate, where Song Chi decided he wanted to try entering the eleventh area despite Ansewei’s doubts.

• Song Chi and Ansewei destroyed the fifth area’s two Tier 4 Hellfire Mechs and cleared the remaining mechanical units, then opened its Spatial Folding Box and found two orange curios and one purple curiosity.
• Song Chi and Ansewei cleared the sixth through ninth areas, finding a red radar curiosity in the ninth area, which Ansewei took for the White Rose.

Song Chi and Ansewei broke through the tenth energy light gate, where the Cangqiong shielded the White Rose from a fifth-tier attack and Song Chi confronted the mechanical behemoth behind it. The Flame Tyrant Giant and Cangqiong attacked the behemoth together, and Song Chi slowed it with the Bhasa Time Realm, leaving the battle underway.

• Song Chi and Ansewei bombarded the tenth energy light gate for nearly a month, then retreated to the seventh sector before it collapsed.
• A fifth-tier annihilation beam struck from the eleventh sector, and Song Chi blinked the Cangqiong in front of the White Rose to shield Ansewei from the worst of it.
• Song Chi saw a ten-thousand-meter mechanical behemoth in the eleventh sector and sent the Flame Tyrant Giant, wielding the God-Deriving Sword, to fight it.

• Song Chi activated the Bhasa Time Realm, slowing the mechanical behemoth severalfold while the Flame Tyrant Giant and Cangqiong unleashed their full firepower.

• Ansewei opened the last Spatial Folding Box and revealed the Miniature Mechanical-Energy War Beast Core and the Firmament Sub-Brain.
• Song Chi examined the Firmament Intelligent-Brain System and recognized its potential to improve the Cangqiong’s control and automate combat.

• Ansewei took the Miniature Mechanical-Energy War Beast Core after Song Chi chose the silver marvel.
• Song Chi and Ansewei looked over the fifth-tier Mechanical-Energy War Beast’s wreckage and regretted that its remains had lost all value.

• Song Chi asked Song Xuancang whether he could spend longer in the Primordial Secret Realm or assimilate Star Sea laws faster, and Song Xuancang asked whether he had already completed a round of assimilation.

Song Chi consulted Song Xuancang about law comprehension and secret arts, then turned over Firmament Mechanical Civilization wreckage and used newly acquired resources to enhance the Cangqiong. He ended the chapter planning his next priorities, including exploring the Immortal Domain Continent Fragment and finding rare upgrade materials.

• Song Xuancang explained that greater law comprehension allowed longer stays in Primordial Secret Realms and faster assimilation afterward, and advised Song Chi to focus on law comprehension rather than new secret arts before his Guidance Art reached the fourth rank.
• Song Chi gave Song Xuancang fourth-rank Hellfire Mech and tank mech wreckage, and received 200 Golden Merit in return.

• Song Chi reviewed the Cangqiong's upgraded attributes and planned to explore the Immortal Domain Continent Fragment while seeking advanced intelligent chips and fifth-rank Void Crystals.

Meanwhile, the Sky-Shaking Clan investigated the Myriad Heavens Market, and Song Chi began looking for intermediate-grade fully automated smart chips.

• Song Chi suspended his exploration of the Immortal Domain Continent Fragment and used a five-thousand-year Deepsea Clam Pearl to advance his Guidance Art to lv35.

• Song Chi persuaded the fire elemental lifeform to exchange its red kindling and other marvels for a Market Walker Token, and he collected the lifeform's Extreme Yang Flame.
• Song Chi noticed that two approaching Sky-Shaking Clan guards had comprehended laws, then went to Goblin Home and asked Goblin Luke for intermediate-grade fully automated smart chips.

Song Chi traded the Marvel Exchange Shop’s orange and red marvels to Sky-Shaking Clan buyers for a vast quantity of high-tier Floating Continent Essence, then arranged with Ailong to obtain advanced intelligent chips. After the buyers returned to the Primordial Continent, Lord Ta Hai hesitated before sending black energy toward the Market entrance.

• Song Chi bought twenty intermediate fully automated intelligent chips from Goblin Luke and learned that Luke could not supply advanced chips.
• Song Chi offered the Sky-Shaking Clan members a five-percent discount, and they exchanged 3,000 strands of fourth-tier, 200 strands of fifth-tier, and 10 strands of sixth-tier Floating Continent Essence for all the shop’s orange and red marvels.
• Song Chi tried to persuade the Sky-Shaking Clan members to buy Market tokens, but they refused and offered no explanation.
• Song Chi asked Ailong about advanced fully automated intelligent chips and promised high-grade soulstones in return; Ailong agreed to try to obtain a few dozen.
• The Sky-Shaking Clan members returned to the Primordial Continent and reported their purchases to Lord Ta Hai, who hesitated before sending pitch-black energy toward the Market entrance.
