The hatch of the Cang Qiong slowly opened, and a traction beam shot out, drawing the fiercely glowing orangeponent of the [Void Assassin n Soldier Figurine Tree] into the hull.
After retrieving the hard-earned orangeponent, Song Chi maneuvered the Cang Qiong to slowly descend,nding next to the side of the Komo-Yin colossal serpent, which was now barely clinging to life.
The Komo-Yin colossal serpent had retracted to a hundred meters in length, and its body was covered withrge and small wounds left by those three humanoid puppets; however, that was not the cause of its fatal condition.
What truly left the Komo-Yin colossal serpent at death’s door was the Envement Mark: Frenzy trait, a feature that came at the cost of all its vitality. With the end of the battle, its life also came to an end.
In itsst moments, the Komo-Yin colossal serpent nudged Song Chi with its head and thenpletely lost its spark of life.
Seeing this, although he was mentally prepared, Song Chi’s heart couldn’t help feeling somewhat mncholic.
He collected the body of the Komo-Yin colossal serpent into the Cang Qiong, nning to bury itter around Green Moon Lake, and then returned to the Main Control Room, clutching the orangeponent of the [Void Assassin n Soldier Figurine Tree].
Before he could install the puppetponent, a strong force of repulsion came through.
Right after that, the Cang Qiong turned into a stream of light and entered his Ancestral Aperture between the eyebrows. By the time he reacted, Song Chi found himself already standing outside the Immortal Puppet Tower.
Along with him, there were three other people who had almost simultaneously exited the tower.
However, before the four of them could reflect on this, the gaze of the n members of the Song family, totaling over three hundred, cast directly upon them.
In their eyes, the second person to pass the 30th floor of the Immortal Puppet Tower must be one of these four individuals.
Soon, n members of the Song family gathered in front of Song Yiming, the strongest among the four.
"Congrattions, n Brother Yiming, congrattions!"
Hearing this, Song Yiming was considerably puzzled. He had persisted for nearly twenty minutes on the 29th floor and ultimately suffered defeat; what was there to congratte him on?
However, seeing everyone approach, he didn’t have time to ponder and could only respond with a warm smile.
Witnessing this, Song Chi, who was standing aside, understood what was happening. Moreover, feeling utterly exhausted, he didn’t hesitate and quickly headed toward the exit of the Immortal Puppet Secret Realm.
All that echoed in his mind now were two words.
"Sleep!"
He was just too tired.
Soon, this low-profile First Rank Torch Ship Captain summoned the Cang Qiong and quickly disappeared from everyone’s sight.
However, what Song Chi didn’t notice was that in the crowd, Song Ze from the earth pulse had never cast his gaze on Song Yiming from the beginning to the end. Instead, after ncing around, he eventually looked thoughtfully at Song Chi.
At the entrance of the secret realm, Song Chi emerged from the bronze gate on the left. After paying his respects to the Zhulu Warship that had closed its hatch, his figure quickly vanished into the cave.
Shortly after his departure, a deep voice suddenly echoed in the cave.
"Not yet 31 years old, clearing the 30th floor of the Immortal Puppet Tower... this Tenth Direct Vein has indeed produced a fine seedling..."
...
Song Chi was unaware of these events that followed. After leaving the secret realm tform, he controlled the Cang Qiong to return directly to Green Moon Manor.
Once he got to his private room, he didn’t think much of anything, not even bothering to install the orange-quality [Void Assassin n Soldier Figurine Tree]ponent. He simply copsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep within seconds.
A whole day passed before Song Chi finally awoke.
After such a long deep sleep, he felt fully recovered. The refreshed Song Chi seemed like apletely different person from the one who was exhausted a day before.
After washing up, he entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.
Free-stall area, inside the Cang Qiong.
With a thought from Song Chi, a spatial fluctuation ensued, and fifteen slightly small soldier figurines appeared in the cabin.
These were the Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines summoned by the now installed [Void Assassin n Soldier Figurine Tree].
```
These Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines stood at around one and a half meters tall, humanoid in shape, cloaked in ck puppet skin under which special energy fluctuations faintly emerged. That was the inherent void affinity power they possessed as void-born creatures.
Additionally, these Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines were able to condense des imbued with the Soul Shatter feature, known as Void des.
Song Chi’s eyes focused, and soon he had detailed attributes of these Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines.
[Name: Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines]
[Quality: Orange]
[Rank: Zero Rank (upper limit Fifth Rank)]
[Level: lv0]
[Active Abilities: Rift-Space Ability, Void sh, Instant Prison Shadow Kill]
[Passive Abilities: Child of the Void (born as a darling of the void, possessing the ability to freely traverse and shuttle through the void), Soul Shatter Dagger (freely condense a Void de with Soul Shatter properties)]
[Description: Born in the void as darlings of space, they possess abilities that can contend with Void Demons.]
...
Gazing at the attribute panel of these Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines, Song Chi was quite satisfied.
They indeed lived up to the Orange Quality of soldier figurines, their active abilities as well as passive abilities were all exceedingly powerful, far surpassing the Fire Peony Soldier Figurines by leaps and bounds.
Without hesitation, after dismissing the summons of these figurines, he directly enhanced the [Void Phantom Assassin Soldier Figure Tree]ponent to lv20.
After being enhanced to Second Rank, the number of Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines he could summon increased from 15 to 20, and the strength of these Second Rank-level Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines saw a substantial enhancement as well.
Song Chi tried it out by mobilizing the Power of Laws in the entire secret realm as the Ruins Market Master, binding the space around these Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines, and then ordering them to use their abilities to see if they could tear through the surrounding space.
The result was still very satisfying to him. Although these Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines had been enhanced to Second Rank and possessed strong spatial affinity, under the suppression and binding of thews of the Ruins Market Secret Realm, they still could make no resistance at all.
This oue also indirectly confirmed the power of the Ruins Market itself.
Even though he was only at First Rank at the moment and the market as well, with thew’s empowerment, he could easily suppress beings of Second Rank Level without resorting to the Torch Warship, and even more so in their area of expertise.
n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Moreover, Song Chi had an intuition that it was not just the Second Rank Void Assassin n Soldier Figurines—he would be able to easily control them even if they were enhanced to Third Rankter on.
"Indeed, just as I thought, the standing of this Ruins Market Secret Realm is exceedingly high, far above that of ordinary Starry Sea Secret Realms, it must be at least of a Primordial Level..."
Having reached this conclusion, Song Chi shifted his gaze, looking through the Spectral Energy Screen above to the pitch-ck void outside the market.
Truth be told, he was quite eager to try.
As for the idea of hunting Void Demons and gathering Void Crystals, it was something he had long considered.
Now that Cang Qiong, with the aid of Space Solidification Stones, possessed no small measure of spatial resistance, and with the aid of Void Assassin n figurines that could hunt in absolute silence, he was fully capable of putting his ns into action.
However, after pondering for a while, he dismissed the idea and re-entered the All-Attributes Cultivation Room.
Instead, he preferred to spend the next period of time immersing himself in intensive cultivation, leveraging the substantial stocks of Insect Race meat and Advanced Body Tempering Potions, to swiftly enhance his Guidance Technique level again.
After all, whether it be opening Ruins Market trades to earn resources or acquiring high-qualityponents to strengthen Cang Qiong, the ultimate goal was all towards a faster, better enhancement of his own Guidance Technique level, so as to secure more opportunities for Life Sublimation, thereby extending his lifespan.
And so, two months whisked by, during which Song Chi consumed over three thousand catties of Second Rank Insect Race meat and spent ten thousand Merit Points to purchase 20 Advanced Body Tempering Potions, in total, using up 34 Advanced Body Tempering Potions.
In addition, he ate twenty catties of Insect Queen meat containing Fourth Rank energy essence and gave the other twenty catties to his mother Chen Lixia, allowing her to break through to lv20 in her Guidance Technique a month ago, officially advancing to Second Rank.
As for Song Chi himself, after two months of dedicated cultivation, his Guidance Technique level skyrocketed from lv11 to lv15.
Of course, it was only five days ago that he had just broken through to lv14, with a long way to go before reaching lv15. It was thanks to that piece of Insect Queen meat that he made the jump, advancing from the early stages of lv14 all the way to his current lv15, with lv16 not far off.
Given that the Insect Queen meat contained Fourth Rank energy essence and was even beneficial for oveing the Second Rank bottleneck, its effects on Song Chi were naturally even more significant.
