Global Era of Star trekking

"Do you have any special components? For example, those that can ignore the impact of the storm phenomena, or those that can limit the speed of the storm eagles..."

```

Shi Man didn't hesitate this time and immediately replied:

```

"We have a Spatial Blockade component on hand. Once activated, this component can, to some extent, limit the speed advantage of the storm eagles and also eliminate the influence of the storm phenomena."

```

Confident in this special orange component, Shi Man was quite sure; without it, their team wouldn't have dared to frequently target the main source of storm mica over the past three years.

If not for the male storm eagle being so strong, causing their peak Cruiser, equipped with Fourth-Rank enhanced orange Warship Armor and a Purple Energy Shield, to fail to withstand more than three minutes, they would have had no need to trouble outsiders.

Having established this, Song Chi no longer hesitated.

```

"Okay, then let's act together in a month!"

```

Seeing Song Chi agree so quickly, the members of the Man Feng team were very happy. They had a deep trust in Song Chi, the direct heir of the ducal powerhouse.

Having settled this matter, Song Chi also requested to see the reward.

He needed to be certain that the other party indeed possessed the Sand of Time resource; otherwise, wouldn't he just be working for others for free? Although he could easily dominate the other party with his power, he still wanted to confirm it.

Only after the other party took out 5 kg of Sand of Time did he feel relieved.

...

Chenxing Yang Continent, Sky Rush Valley.

Upon returning to the estate, Song Chi immediately entered the Ruins Market, clutching the Ether Crystal, eager to advance the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

But before officially beginning the advancement, Song Chi had one thing to do.

And that was to enhance the "Stealth Light Platform" in the extra configurations of the market from lv25 to lv30.

This component was a purple one, with its sole purpose being to conceal brilliance. This time the market was advancing to Third Rank, and to ensure no accidents, he needed to enhance the "Stealth Light Platform" to Third Rank.

After the enhancement was done, he then opened the market panel.

```

"All conditions have been met, do you confirm the start of the market upgrade?"

```

"Confirmed!"

With his agreement, the market beneath his feet immediately began to quake slightly, just as it had on the previous two occasions.

Feeling this familiar tremor, Song Chi was pleased, knowing this wasn't a dream; the Zhu Tian Ruins Market was truly about to advance to Third Rank.

Amid the violent trembling, a burst of intense radiance also followed, filling the entire market space in an instant.

Song Chi was no stranger to this scene. The previous two advancements of the market also looked the same; the first time even attracted a number of Void Demons exceeding four figures, almost causing the entire Zhu Tian Ruins Market to be obliterated.

But ever since the "Stealth Light Platform" was equipped, the intense radiance could no longer extend outside of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market, nor attract the attention of Void Demons.

When the radiance dissipated, Song Chi's vision was once again greeted with the properties panel of the Zhu Tian Ruins Market. At the bottom of this panel, there was a new prompt.

The time needed for this advancement is three days, with 71:59:15 remaining.

Seeing this timer, Song Chi thought to himself that it seemed the time needed for each major upgrade of the market was gradually increasing; he remembered that the last upgrade only required two days.

However, he was not in a rush. He had waited for more than a decade, what were three more days?

As always, Song Chi summoned Cang Qiong, continuing to cultivate his Guidance Technique using the Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform on the warship.

Although he had ceased the cultivation of the Guidance Technique during his ten years in the Dragon Spine Secret Realm, his body never stopped the passive refining from the internal Spectral Energy.

Moreover, the Firethorn Fruit he consumed before had already taken his Guidance Technique to a considerable distance into lv31. Now, after ten years, his Guidance Technique had subtly reached the peak of lv31, and he believed he would soon be able to challenge lv32.

Alternating between cultivating the Guidance Technique and Visualization, the fulfilling days passed quickly, and three days went by in no time.

On this day, the unusual trembling of the ground suddenly vanished, and catching this, Song Chi immediately accessed the market attributes panel.

If he guessed right, the market should have completed its upgrade.

When the market attributes panel appeared, and Song Chi's gaze captured the "Level: lv30" entry, his anxious heart finally settled down.

But before inspecting the specific changes to the market, he first strengthened the market level several more times, only stopping once it reached lv34.

Having been stuck at lv29 for so long, the trading volume of Third Rank Floating Land Origin accumulated by the Ruins Market itself was substantial, which is why the level could be directly raised to lv34.

But that was not the end, as the Ruins Market reached lv34, the [All-Attributes Cultivation Room], [Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform], and [Spectral Energy Protective Array] naturally could not be left behind, and Song Chi also spent hundreds of strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin to upgrade both to lv34.

After being enhanced to lv34, the increase in attributes of these three was significant; compared to the previous lv29, it was like night and day.

[Name: All-Attributes Cultivation Room]

[Level: lv34]

[Effect: Creatures of Third Rank and below, when cultivating in the room, have their cultivation speed increased by 1280%. When a cultivator is practicing Spectral Energy cultivation, their cultivation speed is increased by 2560%.]

...

[UpRank Requirement: Ruins Market level lv35, 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin]

————

[Name: Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform]

[Level: lv34]

[Effect: Once activated, it randomly deploys 170 Spatial Gates to the Shattered Starry Sea that allow entrance to and from the Ruins Market, with each Space Gate lasting for 24 hours and a buffer time of 720 hours.]

...

[UpRank Requirement: Ruins Market level lv35, 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin]

————

[Name: Spectral Energy Protective Array]

[Level: lv34]

[Effect: Automatically absorbs Void Energy to form a semi-circular protective light screen.]

[Defence: 150,000]

[Shield Value: 15,000,000/15,000,000]

[Post-overload Buffer: 20 minutes]

[Note: The origins of this... came from a great power of the "Immortal Domain" civilization in the Starry Sea.]

[UpRank Requirement: Ruins Market level lv35, 100 strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin]

...

Looking at the 2560% enhancement in Spectral Energy cultivation provided by the [All-Attributes Cultivation Room], Song Chi felt somewhat emotional—knowing that even a lv32 Warship's Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform offered only an 820% enhancement.

With such astonishing cultivation enhancement, it could be foreseen that his progression in Guidance Technique would break through lv32 very swiftly.

As for the [Ultra Long-Distance Space Gate Random Deployment Platform], it can now deploy 170 Spatial Gates. As long as luck isn't terribly poor, the number of Alien Races attending each subsequent Ruins Market trades would likely be no less than three or four thousand, and with a bit of good fortune, even surpassing five thousand is possible.

The key point being, after the Ruins Market advanced to the Third Rank, Third-Rank Alien Races could also enter the Ruins Market, which is believed to greatly improve the quality of the market's trades.

The last of them, the [Spectral Energy Protective Array], albeit having the lowest presence—possibly going unused for a decade—is the most reassuring setup for Song Chi. Looking at the shield value as high as fifteen million, he felt completely at ease.

After upgrading these three aspects, Song Chi then moved over to the nearby [Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform].

With the market's advancement to the Third Rank, the [Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform] could also be strengthened to Third Rank.

Once it had been raised to the Third Rank, the effects of the [Spirit Mechanism Synthesis Platform] reached a new level.

By inputting one million strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin into the platform, one could synthesize ten thousand strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin. By inputting ten thousand strands of First Rank Floating Land Origin, one could synthesize one thousand strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, and by putting in one thousand strands of Second Rank Floating Land Origin, you could synthesize one hundred strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin. If you then input one hundred strands of Third Rank Floating Land Origin, you could synthesize ten strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin.

Once he confirmed the platform's effects, even though he had already suspected as much, Song Chi found it hard to stay calm.

An income of one hundred strands of Fourth Rank Floating Land Origin each month was no small sum. Although it required burning through a million strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, Song Chi wasn't concerned; he now possessed more than nine digits' worth of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin, making a million truly insignificant.

Moreover, with the current Third Rank Ruins Market trades, each cycle was likely to bring him more than a million strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.
