Global Era of Star trekking-Chapter 1014 - 530: [Sword Secret Technique Heritage Tablet]_2

Chapter 1014: Chapter 530: [Sword Secret Technique Heritage Tablet]_2

The Third Rank half-snake person, with limited knowledge, vaguely understood the value of the item in its possession. However, it was its first time visiting a large-scale trading city; the bustling streets and crowds of alien races made it somewhat uneasy. In the end, it hurriedly rented a stall and placed the accidentally obtained item on display.

Having a clan elder as an uncle, Song Qing held a significant position within the Hidden Pulse and naturally had far greater insight than his peers.

After completing a month-long patrolling task, Song Qing did not rush to rest or relax. Instead, he immediately headed to the trading street, hoping to find overlooked treasures.

"This... is the [Secret Technique Heritage Stele]?"

A sudden exclamation reached Song Qing’s ears, instantly capturing his attention.

The [Secret Technique Heritage Stele] was universally known for its immense value. If this was indeed a [Secret Technique Heritage Stele], no matter the cost, Song Qing had to obtain it. Its value alone was vital for the Hidden Pulse, and even the entire Song Family—it would significantly bolster the family’s legacy.

Squeezing through the alien crowd, Song Qing quickly spotted the Third Rank half-snake person, as well as the ancient and unadorned stele imbued with faint threads of sword intent on display at its stall.

The stele was small, almost as if it had been cut in half, leaving only a short fragment.

However, Song Qing had also returned to the Dragon Spine Ancestral Vein and studied the Dragon Spine and several other [Secret Technique Heritage Steles]; he was highly familiar with these historical relics.

"It’s indeed a [Secret Technique Heritage Stele], highly likely related to sword techniques, though it seems to be incomplete!"

Confirming this fact, Song Qing hurriedly used the Torch Network to contact his uncle.

The Hidden Pulse had been stationed on the northern shore of the Shattered Sea for over two years, so they had set up a rudimentary Torch Network for communication.

However, due to its rough structure, the Torch Network’s security was limited. Typically, the members of the Hidden Pulse preferred using warship communication, rarely relying on the Torch Network.

Just after informing his uncle, Song Qing heard a deafening buzz nearby.

"I want this stele. Is 10 strands of Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin sufficient?"

Evidently, an alien race had already verified the authenticity of the [Secret Technique Heritage Stele] and was eager to seal the deal quickly.

Behind the stall, the Third Rank half-snake person shook its head, preparing to respond. Before it could, another alien race spoke up.

"A red Starry Sea Oddity suitable for snake species. That’s the marvel’s attribute."

Hearing this offer, the half-snake person visibly hesitated.

Seeing this, Song Qing grew anxious, hoping his uncle would arrive quickly.

Yet, for reasons unknown, Song Zhengyan’s arrival was delayed.

As the half-snake person seemed ready to agree, Song Qing strove to remain calm, quickly brainstorming what items in his possession might appeal to the seller.

Thanks to Song Zhengyan’s support, Song Qing carried numerous valuable objects with him.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, prompting him to speak hastily:

"A [Snake Spirit Blood Tempering Fruit]. In exchange for the stele, perhaps?"

Upon hearing [Snake Spirit Blood Tempering Fruit], the half-snake person’s attention immediately shifted to Song Qing. A glimmer flashed in its snake pupils, clearly revealing its strong interest in the item.

This unexpected turn caused the half-snake person’s wavering resolve to solidify at once.

The sudden change infuriated the Fifth Rank alien who nearly sealed the deal.

Almost instantly, the oppressive aura of a Fifth Rank species enveloped Song Qing entirely.

Song Qing’s face paled as he desperately invoked the Spectral Energy within him to resist.

At that moment, Song Qing felt an imperceptible spatial fluctuation beside him. Before he could turn his head, the overwhelming pressure he was enduring instantly vanished.

"Uncle Chi!"

Upon turning his head and recognizing the familiar figure standing beside him, Song Qing’s expression lit up with delight.

"Are you hurt?"

Song Chi smiled and nodded.

"I’m fine!"

Seeing that Song Qing was unharmed, Song Chi’s inner coldness subsided slightly, though his gaze remained fixed on the Fifth Rank alien opposite them.

The shadow of double pupils flickered in his eyes. With Space Law and the Law of Light enhancement, the Fifth Rank alien stiffened abruptly, feeling as though it was being hunted by some primal beast.

"Violating trading regulations by using one’s oppressive aura to intimidate others. According to Dragon Shark City’s rules, offenders can be executed on the spot!"

Song Chi’s icy words struck like swords, each syllable piercing the Fifth Rank alien’s being.

"Considering you refrained from fully unleashing your pressure, showing some restraint, I will spare your life. However, punishment remains imperative. Do you accept the verdict?"

After speaking, Song Chi voluntarily withdrew his pupil power, restoring the Fifth Rank alien’s ability to move.

"I accept! Whatever punishment is decreed, I will comply!"

Terror-stricken, the Fifth Rank alien nodded fervently, afraid Song Chi might change his mind and kill it on the spot.

"Qing, is there anything you’re lacking?"

Hearing the inquiry, Song Qing deliberated briefly before quickly expressing his need for Floating Land Origin.

"In that case, I sentence you to provide 500 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin and 10 strands of Fifth Rank Floating Land Origin as compensation!"

...

With the matter resolved, Song Chi turned his eyes to the stall’s ancient stele.

The stele was incomplete. However, given the situation, Song Chi could address it directly—as long as the other portion of the stele remained on the Red Star Continent, locating it with the [Heavenly Destiny Compass·Disk] components would not be difficult.

"Merchant, may I examine this item?"

Realizing Song Chi’s identity was far from ordinary, the half-snake person dared not refuse.

"Sir, please do as you wish!"

Reaching out, Song Chi lifted the Sword Intent Stele and focused his spiritual energy into it. Shortly after, he gleaned partial information about the sword-type [Secret Technique Heritage Stele].

[Sword Secret Technique Heritage Tablet]

[Secret Technique: Flying Sword State (Requires Law Comprehension Degree of at least 0.1%)]

[Secret Technique: Sha Sword Chant (Requires Law Comprehension Degree of at least 1%)]

...

The stele was indeed a Secret Technique Heritage Stele, though its fragmentary state meant it retained only two secret techniques.

Because of its incomplete nature, Song Chi could not ascertain its exact grade, yet its inherent value was undeniable.

After a moment of reflection, he produced a porcelain vial.

"This contains one drop of Sixth Rank snake species primordial blood. It will significantly enhance your half-snake lineage. Combine it with this [Snake Spirit Blood Tempering Fruit], and would you agree to the exchange?"

Upon hearing that Song Chi offered Sixth Rank primordial blood from a snake species, the half-snake person hesitated no longer.

"Deal!"

The [Snake Spirit Blood Tempering Fruit] already provided considerable assistance for snake-type creatures to break through their Great Rank bottlenecks. If its lineage could first be strengthened by Sixth Rank primordial blood, it felt confident about advancing to Fourth Rank.

Moreover, as a mere Third Rank creature, the half-snake person could not directly utilize Sixth Rank primordial blood. By diluting it, it not only could benefit personally but also share the advantages with its spouse and offspring.

Following the exchange, Song Chi left the trading street with Song Qing.

At Dragon Shark City’s Lord’s Manor.

"This Secret Technique Heritage Stele has exceptional versatility. Unfortunately, it is far too incomplete, containing only two Secret Techniques."

Having reviewed the [Sword Secret Technique Heritage Tablet], Song Shixing sighed deeply.

The [Sword Secret Technique Heritage Tablet] held significant value. If complete, its impact on the family would be unimaginably vast.

"For the rise of the clan, perhaps my grandson could try it."

...

In the underground warship summoning room at the Manor.

Inside the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, Song Chi placed the fragmented [Sword Secret Technique Heritage Tablet] against the [Heavenly Destiny Compass·Disk]’s land component.

Soon, a brand-new star chart emerged from the land component.

On the star chart, spanning a radius of two billion light-years, a golden light dot was highlighted prominently.

This golden light dot was located surprisingly close to the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, seeming almost superimposed with its location.

But Song Chi understood this wasn’t the reality. The golden dot indicated the other half of the [Sword Secret Technique Heritage Tablet] remained on the [Red Star Continent], with its proximity exaggerated by the relative scale of the two billion light-year radius.

Song Chi was unsurprised by this. Even though the [Red Star Continent], as an Eighth Level Floating Land, boasted a diameter of barely over 300,000 light-years, as long as the stele’s remaining portion was on this land, such a phenomenon was inevitable.
