Chapter Summaries

Song Chao revealed that the Bloodblade Star Pirates controlled a space-law Star Sea Secret Realm that produced Spatial Anchoring Stones, and Song Chi saw a chance to use the resource to protect Cangqiong while hunting Void Demons. The next day, Song Chi borrowed Song Wen’s Fixed-Point Deployment Platform and prepared to upgrade Cangqiong’s remote-control system so he could reach the pirates’ base.

• Song Chao told the seven younger family members that the Bloodblade Star Pirates possessed a Star Sea Secret Realm containing the law of space, and warned them to keep the information secret.
• Song Chao explained that the secret realm produced Spatial Anchoring Stones, which protected ships from spatial hazards, and Song Chi considered using them to strengthen Cangqiong for hunting Void Demons.
• The next day, Song Chi asked Song Qi, Song You, Song Wen, and the others to lend him a long-range deployment component, and Song Wen offered his lv10 Fixed-Point Deployment Platform for 200 strands of Zero-Rank Floating Continent Essence.
• After Song Hai left with Song Qi and Song Wen aboard Black Sea, Song Chi summoned Cangqiong and began enhancing its Neural Wave Remote Control System to extend its range beyond the 1.5 light-years to the Bloodblade base.

Song Chi mapped spatial rifts around the Bloodblade Star Pirates’ lair by deploying Bumblebee Drones, then gathered more drones to continue his work and prepare to open another market trade. Meanwhile, a fleeing Luofu Sword Sect disciple entered the Myriad Heavens Market with eight Pure Yang Sword Sect pursuers, who realized too late that its rules might protect him.

• Song Chi lost three Bumblebee Drones to spatial hazards before finding safe coordinates and recording spatial rifts near the Bloodblade Star Pirates’ lair.
• Song Chi mapped half the rifts within a hundred thousand kilometers over five days, then obtained more drones from Song Chao, Song Lin, and Song You.
• Song Chi arranged for Song You to cover his shift so he could advance to the first rank and open another market trade.
• Zhou Ping fled Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples during the attack on the Luofu Sword Sect and escaped through a spatial gate into the Myriad Heavens Market.
• Eight Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples followed Zhou Ping into the market, read its rules, and demanded that he surrender Elder Tianhe’s storage pouch.
• The Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples noticed the market’s alien visitors watching them with mockery and realized they might have underestimated its rules.

Song Chi used the market’s laws to punish and then forgive the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples, but discovered that Void Energy could not activate their storage pouches. He agreed to help Zhou Ping erase the imprint on Elder Tianhe’s pouch, and its contents revealed an orange-quality Pure Yang Sword Pellet.

• Song Chi summoned a law dragon that forced eight Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples to kneel, then accepted nine tons of Moonwater Silver Sand as compensation and lifted the pressure.
• The disciples explained that storage pouches required mana, and Song Chi confirmed that his Void Energy could not activate one.
• Song Chi spotted Zhou Ping and four disciples at the Marvel Exchange Shop, where Zhou Ping offered a reward for opening Elder Tianhe’s storage pouch.
• Song Chi rejected Zhou Ping’s initial offerings, then agreed to erase the pouch’s primordial spirit imprint in exchange for one of its five most valuable items.
• Song Chi expelled the four disciples at Zhou Ping’s request, and Zhou Ping emptied the pouch, revealing an orange-quality Pure Yang Sword Pellet.

Song Chi discovered that Zhou Ping’s Pure Yang Sword Pellet could become an Orange-quality main cannon and tried to secure it for the Cangqiong. Zhou Ping traded Titanium Crystals for the Crystal and agreed to consider selling the sword pellet, but said the Nine Heavens Cloud Essence alone was not enough.

• Song Chi identified the Pure Yang Sword Pellet as a powerful Orange-quality Pure Yang Sword-Light Cannon and selected valuable goods from Zhou Ping’s collection.
• Zhou Ping chose to pay with one hundred strands of Third Rank Floating Continent Essence, which Song Chi accepted.
• Zhou Ping traded fifty Titanium Crystals for the Crystal, while Song Chi refused to exchange them for the more valuable Nine Heavens Cloud Essence.
• Song Chi asked whether Zhou Ping would sell the Pure Yang Sword Pellet, and Zhou Ping hesitated over giving up the powerful treasure.
• Zhou Ping agreed to sell the sword pellet but said the Nine Heavens Cloud Essence alone was insufficient.

Song Chi secured Zhou Ping’s Pure Yang Sword Pellet in exchange for a Market Guest Token and Nine Heavens Cloud Essence, then refused Zhou Ping’s request to place a bounty on the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples. While exploring their stalls, Song Chi discovered that their Body-Tempering Liquid could benefit Kindling captains and bought samples to test, leaving him planning how to verify and market it.

• Zhou Ping accepted the Market Guest Token and Nine Heavens Cloud Essence in exchange for his Pure Yang Sword Pellet, then asked Song Chi to place a bounty on nine Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples; Song Chi refused.
• Song Chi asked Zhou Ping about Titanium Crystal, and Zhou Ping said he could bring some from his world in exchange for more entries to the Market Ruins.
• Song Chi examined pills sold by the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples and found that they harmed Kindling captains rather than helping them.
• Song Chi analyzed their Body-Tempering Liquid and learned it substantially tempered Zero-Rank Kindling captains, then bought ten bottles and the disciples’ only box of Second-Rank Body-Tempering Paste.
• Song Chi left planning to test the medicine on suitable subjects and consult his family about selling it if its benefits were confirmed.

Song Chi traded with Zhou Ping for valuable cultivation resources and equipment, then upgraded the Pure Yang Sword-Light Cannon on the Cangqiong to lv25. Meanwhile, Zhou Ping faced nine Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples demanding Elder Tianhe’s storage pouch, and the chapter ended as Zhou Ping and his combat robots fought them.

• Song Chi exchanged life-saving equipment with Zhou Ping for Floating Continent Essence, a storage pouch, armor, and other resources.
• Song Chi tallied his Market Ruins gains, including orange and blue ship components, Titanium Crystals, and large quantities of Floating Continent Essence.
• Song Chi upgraded the Pure Yang Sword-Light Cannon from lv0 to lv25, spending substantial resources and keeping twenty-four Titanium Crystals in reserve.
• Nine Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples confronted Zhou Ping and demanded Elder Tianhe’s storage pouch and its contents.
• Zhou Ping revealed that he had traded the contents away, summoned six First-Rank combat robots, and joined them in fighting the nine disciples.

Zhou Ping reported the Myriad Heavens Market to the Luofu Sword Sect and was rewarded with direct-disciple status, while Song Chi confirmed that his body-tempering liquid worked on Kindling Ship Captains. Twenty days later, Song Chi’s Psionic Guidance Technique broke through to level 9.

• Zhou Ping prepared to use an enhanced energy grenade against the Pure Yang Sword Sect disciples, but Luofu Sword Sect reinforcements arrived and took them into custody.
• Zhou Ping told the Luofu Sword Sect elders about the Market Guest Token, the Myriad Heavens Market, Gale-Wind Cloud Essence, and Titanium Crystal, and the Sword Sect Master ordered the matter kept secret while the sect began secretly collecting Titanium Crystal.
• The Sword Sect Master promoted Zhou Ping to a direct disciple of Heavy Sword Peak with true transmission disciple treatment and promised support for his Foundation Establishment.
• Song Chi showed Song Chao the body-tempering liquid, and Song Chao confirmed that it worked on Kindling Ship Captains and warned Song Chi not to let it reach outside buyers.
• After twenty days of using the body-tempering liquid, Song Chi advanced his Psionic Guidance Technique from level 8 to level 9.

Song Chi examined the Myriad Heavens Market’s upgrades after reaching lv15, then resumed monitoring the Bloodblade Star Pirates while adapting to his breakthrough to guidance technique lv9. As his shift ended, a hundred-meter Torch warship suddenly appeared near the pirates’ lair.

• Song Chi reviewed the lv15 market and upgraded its All-Attribute Cultivation Room, space gate deployment platform, and Void Energy Defense Array.
• Song Chi relieved Song Chao in the monitoring room, and Song Chao realized that his son had advanced his guidance technique to lv9.
• Song Chao privately wondered whether Song Chi might one day contend for a Dinghai Song Clan family sequence, then resolved to increase his own cultivation.
• Song Chi spent nearly ten more days adapting to his enhanced physique and covering the shifts his father had taken for him.
• After Song Lin arrived for the handover, a hundred-meter Torch warship suddenly appeared on the monitoring screen near the Bloodblade Star Pirates’ lair.

Song Chi used a stealth drone to map the Bloodblade Star Pirates’ lair and discovered Blood Wolf courting a figure who appeared to belong to the Moro Royal Clan. Song Chao decided to warn the family elders, and Song Chi volunteered to remain at the base and watch the pirates.

• Song Chi confirmed that the damaged Bloodwolf had returned to the pirates’ lair and decided to investigate it.
• Song Chi attached a Phantom Butterfly Drone to Blood Ant’s shuttle and secretly guided it into the lair, recording its layout and personnel.
• Song Chi spotted Blood Wolf currying favor with a four-armed, black-skinned figure bearing a crescent horn, then withdrew the drone’s brainwaves to avoid detection.
• Song Chi told Song Chao what he had seen, and Song Chao concluded the figure was likely from the Moro Royal Clan and that the pirates might have its backing.
• Song Chao gathered Song Chi, Song Lin, and Song You, explaining that he would return to the White Tower Floating Continent while someone stayed behind to monitor the lair.
• Song Chi volunteered to remain at the base.

Song Chi stayed behind with Song Lin to monitor the base while Song Chao returned to White Tower Floating Continent with Song You. After entering seclusion and using a neutralized Advanced Body-Tempering Potion, Song Chi broke through the bottleneck and reached First Rank.

• Song Chao chose to leave Song Lin behind with Song Chi and took Song You back to White Tower Floating Continent aboard the Azure Sky.
• Song Chi and Song Lin divided the monitoring shifts, and Song Chi later asked Song Lin to cover for him while he entered seclusion.
• Song Chi entered the Myriad Heavens Market's All-Attribute Cultivation Room and drank an Advanced Body-Tempering Potion neutralized with nine-hundred-year Deepwater Mussel Pearl powder.
• After cultivating for several days, Song Chi reached the bottleneck between lv9 and lv10 and made repeated attempts to break through.
• Song Chi shattered the bottleneck on his sixth attempt, entered First Rank, and began his first Life Sublimation.

Song Chi completed his first life ascension to Tier One, and his family gathered at the Composite Illusion Base after Song Shan’s ship advanced to Tier Three. The family prepared to target the Bloodblade Star Pirates while arranging for someone else to contain the hidden Moro Royal Clan.

• Song Chi advanced to Tier One after using a nine-hundred-year Deepwater Mussel Pearl and an advanced body-tempering potion, gaining greater strength, mental power, and lifespan.
• Song Lin discovered Song Chi’s breakthrough, and Song Chi began monitoring the base while visualizing the rubbing diagram.
• Song Mingsong and the White Tower Song Clan elders arrived aboard Azure Sky, and Song Shan confirmed that Mountain had advanced into a cruiser.
• Song Mingsong and Song Shan explained that the Bloodblade Star Pirates secretly funneled plundered resources to the Moro Royal Clan, which controlled several pirate groups.
• Bai Xiuqin said someone would keep the Moro Royal Clan occupied while the family seized the Star Sea Secret Realm entrance in the Bloodblade base.
• Song Mingsong sensed Song Chi’s Tier One vitality, and the family celebrated his breakthrough at age thirty.

Song Chi prepared Cangqiong for the next day's attack on the Bloodblade Star Pirates by learning the battle assignments and upgrading the airship's key components. He ran out of Titanium Crystals and Second-Rank Floating Continent Essence, then turned to the Fixed-Point Deployment Platform and brought out three blue-quality components.

• Song Chao explained that Song Chi had advanced quickly by using nine-hundred-year-old Deepwater Mussel Pearls and Advanced Body-Tempering Potions, and Song Mingsong assigned the family members their roles in the coming battle.
• Song Mingsong told Song Chi and the other four juniors to fight First-Rank star pirates while staying clear of Second-Rank warships, then moved the Stellar Monitor back to Lion's Pride.
• Song Chi went to the Myriad Heavens Market and considered his trade with Zhou Ping, who had supplied fifty Titanium Crystals and agreed to report Song Chi's offer to his sect.
• Song Chi upgraded Cangqiong's Pure Yang Sword-Light Cannon, Starshine Type V Alloy Armor, and Healing Fruit to their enhancement limits, then obtained more Titanium Crystals from Song Mingsong to raise the Shadowflash Antimatter Hyperstate Engine to lv29.
• After exhausting his Titanium Crystals and nearly all his Second-Rank Floating Continent Essence, Song Chi focused on the Fixed-Point Deployment Platform and summoned three blue-quality components: a Starshine Type III Ship Cannon, a Particle Beam Cannon, and Blackwater Black Tortoise Hull Armor.

Song Chi traded for components and prepared the Cangqiong for a family operation against the Bloodblade Star Pirates. The Song Family’s surprise attack destroyed the pirates’ base defenses, and Song Chi moved to the flank as the battle began.

• Song Chi traded the Fixed-Point Deployment Platform to Song Wen for a Particle Beam Cannon and Blackwater Black Tortoise Hull Armor, then checked whether other family members wanted blue-quality cannons.
• Song Chi led the fifteen Song Family members aboard the Cangqiong and jumped them to a point near the Bloodblade Star Pirates’ base.
• Song Mingsong activated the Void Prison characteristic as the family’s warships advanced, and Bloodknife spotted the incoming threat and called the base to battle.
• Bloodknife led the Bloodblade cruiser out to fight, but the attackers’ shield-breaking shot collapsed the base’s defensive shield and their following attacks devastated the base.
• Song Mingsong ordered the eldest to join him in intercepting the Bloodblade, while Song Chi steered the Cangqiong toward the flank to avoid nearby second-tier warships.

Song Chi used the Cangqiong’s Pure Yang Sword-Light Cannon to devastate the Bloodblade Star Pirates’ weaker ships while the Song Family elders struggled against six powerful Tier 2 frigates and three cruisers. As Bloodknife battered the Mountain with the Bloodblade’s ram, Song Mingsong launched an external nuclear missile from the Lion's Pride.

• Song Chi’s Pure Yang Sword-Light Cannon shattered the Blood Jackal’s energy shield and damaged its hull, and the Cangqiong then sank it with a sustained barrage from its Electromagnetic Thunderbolt Cannon.
• Song Chi pursued and destroyed fleeing pirate warships while the family elders found that the Bloodblade’s Tier 2 frigates were stronger than expected.
• The elders sent Chen Lixia’s Dragonfly into the fight, shifting the balance against the Bloodblade frigates as the four-hour Void Prison seal remained a concern.
• Bloodknife used the Bloodblade’s magnetic field and Battle-Gold Ram against the Lion's Pride and the Mountain, then restored his shield and rammed the Mountain repeatedly, destroying one of its main cannons.
• Song Mingsong deployed an external nuclear missile launcher beneath the Lion's Pride and fired at the Bloodblade.

Song Chi’s Cangqiong struck the Bloodblade with its Hollow Extreme Yang Sword-Intent Divine Light, helping Song Mingsong and the Mountain disable Bloodknife’s cruiser. Bloodknife destroyed the Bloodblade rather than surrender it, and the White Tower Song Family secured victory and gathered to enter the stronghold and investigate the Star Sea Secret Realm.

• Bloodknife rammed the Mountain a fourth time as the nuclear missile detonated, leaving the Mountain severely damaged while the Bloodblade retained 13% shield integrity.
• Song Chi fired the Cangqiong’s Hollow Extreme Yang Sword-Intent Divine Light, overloading the Bloodblade’s shield and damaging its hull.
• Song Mingsong and the Mountain attacked the Bloodblade, and the Lion’s Pride rammed it until it lost the ability to move.
• Bloodknife rejected Song Mingsong’s offer of a Star Sea Heavenly Kui Tree Heart and self-destructed the Bloodblade, destroying most of its components.
• Song Mingsong headed to the pirate stronghold while the White Tower Song Family defeated the remaining pirates, seized three surrendered frigates, and cleaned up the battlefield.
• The family entered the stronghold under the protection of soldier figurines, and Song Chi realized that every family member had a soldier-figurine-type component.

The Song Clan regrouped at the Bloodblade Star Pirates’ base and split up to secure the secret realm and restore the base’s defenses. A fourth-tier Moro Voidpiercer Mech then attacked, leaving Song Mingsong facing the enemy as Bai Xiuqin led Song Chi and the others toward the secret realm.

• Song Chi learned that Song Mingsong’s Water Demon Soldiers could break through spiritual-energy defenses, and he considered acquiring better terracotta soldiers to complement his drones.
• Song Mingsong and Bai Xiuqin regrouped with the family beside the secret realm entrance, where they found a dead third-tier Moro Royal Clan member.
• Song Mingsong sent Song Shan’s team into the secret realm, led another team to restore the base’s defensive shield, and left Bai Xiuqin’s team to guard the entrance.
• Song Chi remotely sent two Fire Sunflower Soldiers outside to watch for the Moro Royal Clan while Zhao Lan restarted the nuclear energy shield generator.
• A massive beam struck the base’s shield, and Song Mingsong hurried aboard the Lion’s Pride as the attack targeted him.
• Bai Xiuqin led Song Chi and the others toward the secret realm, while Song Mingsong faced the revealed fourth-tier Moro Voidpiercer Mech.

Song Mingsong summoned the Dinghai Song Clan’s Primordial Ancestor, whose projection defeated the Moro Voidwalker Mech, captured its fourth-rank pilot, and ordered Song Mingsong to return home with his family. Meanwhile, Song Chi entered the Moro Secret Realm and reflected on the ancestor’s appearance.

• Song Mingsong summoned the Primordial Ancestor as the Moro royal clansman attacked the Lion's Pride.
• The Primordial Ancestor’s blade projection shattered the Moro Voidwalker Mech’s defenses and destroyed the Bloodblade Star Pirates’ base.
• The Primordial Ancestor sealed the Moro pilot, disabled its escape device, and shrank the mech into a miniature model.
• The Primordial Ancestor gave Song Mingsong a second summoning blade coin and told him to destroy the Moro Secret Realm entrance and return home quickly.
• Song Chi entered the Moro Secret Realm with Song Lin, Song Wen, and Song You, then recalled the giant mech projection he had witnessed through the Fire Sunflower Soldier.

After the Song family defeated a Moro Royal Clan mech, Song Chi explored the Moro Secret Realm and gathered resources before learning that secret realms could accelerate time and regenerate their resources. The revelation made him wonder whether his own Market Ruins Secret Realm could also accelerate time.

• Bai Xiuqin identified the ten-thousand-meter mech projection Song Chi had witnessed as belonging to the family's Origin Ancestor and warned the younger generation to show him respect.
• Song Mingsong entered the Moro Secret Realm, announced that the family would have only twenty-four hours to gather resources, and ordered them to avoid damaging the environment because the Moro Royal Clan might have more fourth-rank combatants.
• Song Chi flew the Cangqiong toward a Spatial Anchoring Stone vein, hoping to gather enough stones to improve the ship's resistance to spatial hazards.
• Song Chi deployed two Raging Tiger I Floating Land Mining Vehicles from the Market Ruins, surprising Song Mingsong and Song Shan as they began mining alongside the other vehicles.
• Song Mingsong explained that Star Sea Secret Realms could undergo thousandfold or ten-thousandfold time acceleration, allowing their resources to regenerate, and Song Chi considered whether his Market Ruins Secret Realm could do the same.

Song Chi learned that Void Crystals powered time acceleration in secret realms, then joined his family to collect resources in the Moro Secret Realm. The chapter ended with him deploying four mining vehicles at a Mercury Crystal vein while his grandfather considered preparing him to compete for a Dinghai Song Clan sequence.

• Song Mingsong explained that Void Crystals powered secret-realm time acceleration, but incomplete laws made cultivating the Guidance Art there impractical, and Song Chi suspected the Market Ruins could not use Void Crystals.
• Song Mingsong and Song Shan discussed Song Chi’s combat strength and his slim chances of competing for a family sequence; Song Mingsong planned to seek a purple advancement fire source for him.
• Song Chi reached the Moonrubbing Tree Grove and learned that its ten-thousand-year tree and most others had already been tapped, while twelve portions of sap remained available.
• Song Hai offered five portions of Moonrubbing Tree Sap to Song Chi and the other young family members, and Song Chi chose a two-thousand-three-hundred-year portion after Song Wen took the last two-thousand-year one.
• Song Chi went to the Mercury Crystal vein and released his third and fourth Raging Tiger I Floating Land Mining Vehicles to increase mining capacity.

After the Song family returned to White Tower Floating Continent, Song Mingsong announced that they would move to the Calm Sea Star Domain in a month and began distributing the spoils from the Bloodblade mission. Song Chi ranked third in contributions and chose a Phantom Thruster, then took an Ultra-Range Cannon as the purple-quality selections continued.

• Song Chi concluded that the Market Ruins Secret Realm could not accelerate time because it had not been fully repaired, and he collected over two thousand tons of Mercury Crystal and more than eight hundred tons of Spatial Anchoring Stone.
• Song Mingsong led the family out of the Moro Secret Realm, and the group traveled back to White Tower Floating Continent aboard the Lion's Pride.
• Song Mingsong told the family to prepare to leave for the Calm Sea Star Domain in one month, then began distributing the mission spoils according to contribution rankings.
• Song Shan explained that Song Chi's crucial strike had saved the Mountain and helped defeat the enemy, placing Song Chi third in the contribution ranking.
• Song Mingsong chose a purple-quality ram, Song Shan chose a secondary cannon, and Song Chi selected the Phantom Thruster for its speed and escape ability.
• During the second round of purple-quality selections, Song Chi took the Ultra-Range Cannon after Song Mingsong and Song Shan chose the two Star Sea Marvels.
