Chapter 630: Chapter 331: The Silver Apple Mother Tree Finally Ascends (Additional Chapter for the Alliance Leader “Jiang Kui”)_2

However, there’s one frustrating point: the advancement of celestial plants is clearly not an overnight matter. Compared to the usual human advancement, it’s much slower.

Nevertheless, Song Chi wasn’t worried about this.

With a thought, he withdrew from the Cultivation Secret Realm and then activated a fresh round of Secret Realm acceleration.

After a two-month buffer period, the “Secret Realm Accelerator,” which had been affected by the “Zen Seal: Inner Speed,” had successfully completed its buffering.

With the boost from Secret Realm acceleration, the time needed for the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to advance obviously wasn’t so difficult to wait out.

Song Chi had only been cultivating the Guidance Technique for a few days when he immediately received a reminder from the Void Demon.

The [Silver Apple Mother Tree] had completed its advancement.

Even though the Secret Realm was in acceleration, an excited Song Chi didn’t pay much attention to it, too lazy to control the Soldier Figurines with a brainwave imprint again; he entered the Secret Realm in person.

Inside the Cultivation Secret Realm, the [Silver Apple Mother Tree], towering tens of thousands of meters high, was swaying in the wind, with copious amounts of the Rule of Wood and Fifth Rank might radiating out from it in all directions.

Seeing this, Song Chi was finally certain the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] had successfully advanced to the Fifth Rank.

For a moment, the joy in his heart was uncontrollable.

This not only meant that his gamble had paid off, not having wasted the ten-thousand-year Dragon Blood Fruit in vain, but also that in the near future, he would be able to collect Fifth Rank Level Silver Apples continuously.

However, there was also bad news.

That was, after the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] advanced to the Fifth Rank, the layer of [Immortal Domain Spirit Soil] laid beneath it could no longer take effect.

The [Immortal Domain Spirit Soil] was a strange soil brought out by his grandfather, Song Mingsong, from the Immortal Realm Continent Fragment; it was just a Purple Relic, with its greatest effect being on Fourth Rank plants. Now that the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] had advanced to the Fifth Rank, it naturally could no longer affect it.

If so, the growth acceleration feature would no longer affect the [Silver Apple Mother Tree], and thus in subsequent rounds of Secret Realm Acceleration, the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] would no longer be able to accelerate by more than twenty thousand years, only over ten thousand years.

Additionally, after the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] advanced to the Fifth Rank, the Silver Apples it nurtured would also be Fifth Rank, requiring even more time than Fourth Rank Silver Apples. Combined with the [Immortal Domain Spirit Soil] issue, the production speed of subsequent Fifth Rank [Silver Apples] would inevitably drop significantly.

As for this point, Song Chi didn’t have a good solution; however, he could take one of the mature Fifth Rank [Silver Apples] later and promote the special Strange Soil, [Immortal Domain Spirit Soil], to Orange Quality, so it could continue to take effect.

But obviously, this would take time.

Song Chi didn’t stay long in the Cultivation Secret Realm; after confirming the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] had successfully reached the Fifth Rank, he quickly exited the Secret Realm.

Joking aside, this was a time acceleration of over ten thousand times speed. Spending even one extra second in it was consuming his own lifespan.

After returning to reality, Song Chi resumed his usual cultivation routine.

A month later, Song Chi used the last [Space Law Fruit] he had. This Space [Law Fruit] provided him with a 0.02% increase in Spatial Law Comprehension Degree, taking him from 0.46% to 0.48%.

This was good news, but there was also bad news; with the use of this last [Space Law Fruit], Song Chi felt a premonition that this was the last one he could use. No matter how many more [Space Law Fruits] he consumed afterward, his Spatial Law comprehension would not change at all.

This news was like a blow to the head; although he had previously suspected it, now that it was confirmed, he still found it difficult to let go.

But aside from that, there was more good news.

With the effectiveness of this final [Space Law Fruit], his comprehension of Law had been completely assimilated into the Starry Sea Law.

After this assimilation, Song Chi could clearly feel an enhancement in the might of his Power of Laws.

This was the difference between a perfect Starry Sea Law and a deficient Secret Realm Law. Song Chi estimated that even if it were the same Space Law, his Law’s power was now at least three points better than before.

This increase might not seem big, but compared to the Minor Accomplishment, Intermediate Accomplishment, and Great Achievement Laws that he would still need to continually deepen his comprehension in, it wasn’t a small number. Not to mention, compared to a deficient Secret Realm Law, the most crucial difference with the Starry Sea Law lay in the different upper limits.

Creatures that comprehended a deficient Secret Realm Law were completely capped by the level of the Secret Realm itself in terms of their ultimate rank limit, while the Starry Sea Law was different—it had an infinite future.

Beyond this, Song Chi no longer needed to stay in the outside world and could safely enter the Ruins Market. There, he could utilize the Law of Spatial Origin and the [Low-Level Space Law Crystal] in his possession to accelerate his Law Comprehension. Such a practice would surely enhance his comprehension speed of the Spatial Law in the future.

However, given the current circumstances, Song Chi faced another dilemma.

With the completion of Law assimilation, it meant he could re-enter his family’s Dragon Spine Secret Realm, where he could not only speed up his Law Comprehension but also continue learning other secret techniques.

But here lay the problem—if he were to continue comprehending Laws in the Dragon Spine Secret Realm, it would likely take a significant amount of time to assimilate again when he emerged.

This was the source of Song Chi’s indecision.

In the future, he wouldn’t be able to use the [Space Law Fruit] to speed up the Law assimilation process. Instead, it would genuinely take him decades to slowly assimilate, meaning he would be unable to freely seclude himself for cultivation in the Ruins Market for many decades, wouldn’t he?

Unable to decide, Song Chi stopped pondering about it.

He planned to consult the clan elders later to see if there was a way to resolve this issue.

He remembered that according to the information he learned not long ago, after his clan’s Prime Ancestor’s flagship was upgraded to the Fearless Ship, he had secluded himself for hundreds of years within the Dragon Spine Secret Realm. Since that was the case, there should be a way to avoid completely solidifying one’s Law Comprehension into the flawed Laws of the Secret Realm after prolonged comprehension of the primitive Origin Laws within the Secret Realm.

No longer dwelling on it, Song Chi recalled Cangqiong and entered the Ruins Market.

Concentrating his Spiritual Force, numerous Divine Thought Threads surged from his mind. Once he located the area where the Spatial Origin Law of the Ruins Market Secret Realm resided, he quickly approached it and took out the two [Primary Spatial Law Crystals], beginning his comprehension of the Spatial Laws.

Since he no longer had to worry about Laws solidifying, he would spend much of his time in the Ruins Market from now on.

While practicing the Guidance Technique and visualizing the Mech Armor Projection Imprint Chart, he aimed to enhance his Comprehension Degree of the Laws as quickly as possible.

Time passed, and nearly a month went by.

One day, the Void Demon that was left in the outside world sent a telepathic message to Song Chi through Mind Induction.

There was communication from Ansewei.

All forms of communication were blocked within the Ruins Market, be it the family’s Quantum Communication Bracelets or the Torch Network. Therefore, to ensure that he did not miss communications from Ansewei, Song Chi had left the Void Demon in the outside world.

The personal manor.

“Have you finished the task?”

Upon connecting the communication, Song Chi took the initiative to ask.

Ansewei’s reply came quickly from the other side:

“Yes, but I still need to rest up. Let’s set the detailed exploration for half a month from now!”

“No problem!”

Song Chi nodded affirmatively, then did not continue the conversation. He could see from the communication projection that Ansewei’s spirit was not very good, obviously not having had much rest recently.

After ending the communication, Song Chi did not return to the Ruins Market.

He had been similarly stretched thin lately, either cultivating or comprehending Laws, and he too needed proper relaxation.

As the days went by, the half-month period quickly elapsed.

That day, the warship ensconced within the Five-Colored Light Shield ascended from Sky Rush Valley and swiftly vanished into the cloud-filled sky.

This obvious characteristic naturally prompted many Torch Ship Captains to speculate about the itinerary of Song Chi, who was next in line in the Song Family.

There was a debate as to whether he was embarking on a new exploration of the Alien Star Domain or preparing to return to the Dragon Spine Continent.
