Just as their minds were aflutter, a voice came from behind once again.

However, this time it wasn't from the elder, but from Song Mingsong, who had already summoned back the Furious Lion.

"Okay, the medium-distance Star Domain transport gate will probably not open again for another three days, so none of you are allowed to stray today. You have to stay put for at least 24 hours, which means you can't leave until your internal Spectral Energy has been restored tomorrow. For now, let's head over to the hotel we booked."

Hearing the serious tone of their grandfather, they all nodded and then quickly walked towards the city center.

The medium-distance Star Domain transport gate is said to be a costly project constructed by the Duchy's Engineering Academy, designed to interconnect all the Star Domains under the Duchy and promote the circulation and development of the economy.

The gate in the Golden Shark Starfield connects to the Golden Lion Star Domain, reportedly capable of transporting thousands of light-years in a single trip and facilitates group transport. However, each transportation consumes significant resources, necessitating hefty fees, and each activation requires several days of buffering.

Their arrival was ill-timed, as the last transportation had only recently been activated, so they needed to wait about three days.

...

Silver Spear City, Silver River Street, Tengger Hotel.

Today marked the second day since they arrived in the Silver Spear Floating Land, yet at this moment, members of the Song Family were not in their individual rooms but had gathered in the kilometer-class Warship Summoning Room located in the hotel's underground.

In the Interstellar Great Era, Torch Warships are existences that every Torch Ship Captain might need to summon at any given moment. Naturally, the hotel industry, whose main clientele are Torch Ship Captains, could not neglect this fact, and over time, these underground Warship Summoning Rooms came into being.

As the name implies, these underground Warship Summoning Rooms are spaces specially carved out beneath the hotels, large enough to accommodate the summoning of a Torch Warship by a Torch Ship Captain, with the kilometer-class rooms naturally corresponding to cruiser-class Torch Warships.

Inside the Summoning Room, after a good wait, the feature of the Void Prison that Song Mingsong activated finally took effect. With his active control, the enclosing glow of the space screen covered just the entire underground Summoning Room.

At the same time, in a hidden monitoring room of the Tengger Hotel, one of the monitoring screens suddenly went dark, losing all imagery.

Seeing this, the monitoring personnel in the room swiftly cut off the monitoring of that particular Summoning Room.

The ability to sever the surveillance from the outside precision monitors was sufficient to prove the monitored party's remarkable skills. To avoid provoking those better left unprovoked, hotel monitoring staff would immediately cease monitoring of the designated Summoning Room in such cases.

Elsewhere, inside the Summoning Room, the effectiveness of the Void Prison was affirmed as the Song Family members lightly nodded.

Soon, a faint humming emanated from the Furious Lion's hangar, and then they saw the Covenant, which should have been sealed, slowly emerge.

As soon as the Covenant left the hangar, Song Mingsong quickly retracted the Furious Lion, clearing the somewhat cramped space in the Summoning Room entirely.

Observing the reinvigorated Covenant, Song Chi remained calm among the crowd, unsurprised.

Indeed, the Covenant was already bound to its second captain, and this captain was not a member of the Song Family but a white Seed of Torch from the Tros Family, specially brought out by the uncle.

The person's identity was not important because they were already enslaved by a special control component on the uncle's flagship, their own warship lost, much like Grimm Tros before them. Their role was to temporarily control the Covenant and establish the entrance to the "Dragon Blood Mystic Realm" bound by the Secret Realm Binder. Afterwards, they would be of no further use.

Of course, this didn't mean that the Dragon Blood Mystic Realm's entrance would be forever situated here. For now, the Song Family merely wanted to get an early insight into the secret realm. After inspecting the variety of resource outputs within the realm, they would destroy this entrance and wait to relocate it until they had settled back into their family lands.

With a flash of light between his eyebrows, Song Mingsong's brows trembled slightly at the Ancestral Aperture, then a tangerine glow flickered from the Starry Sky Monitor embedded in the warship.

Following these proceedings, a slight change occurred to the surrounding Void Prison, retaining only its sealing functionality, while its attribute for sealing the internal space was temporarily removed.

Then, under the signal from Song Shan, the Tros clansman inside the Covenant took action, activating the Secret Realm Binder.

Soon, faint spatial fluctuations emanated from a position not far in front of the Covenant. As time progressed, these fluctuations intensified, until a vortex of void measuring several meters in diameter finally coalesced.

```

Watching the space portal that had appeared out of thin air, the members of the Song Family felt a surge of joy, yet they did not rush forward. Instead, they summoned several soldier figurines to scout ahead.

According to the 'Secret Realm Binder's' feature description from earlier, this entrance was likely connected to the so-called "Dragon Blood Mystic Realm". However, whether this was truly the case, they could not be one hundred percent certain. Even if it was, the dangers that might be present within the mystic realm were also unknown.

Sending the soldier figurines ahead to scout was the most appropriate action.

Song Mingsong's gaze shifted, and he glanced at Song Chi standing behind him.

Receiving his grandfather's signal, Song Chi nodded. The ghost light flickered on his forehead as the 'Brainwave Remote Control System' aboard the Cangqiong was activated. After making a brainwave imprint on one of the Third Rank Fierce Flame soldier figurines standing before him, four figurines stepped towards the vortex of void.

A few minutes later, Song Chi gently shook his head.

"There is no danger. The portal leads to a fragment of Floating Land, which should undoubtedly be the Dragon Blood Mystic Realm."

Hearing his confirmation, the others were no longer apprehensive, but to be on the safe side, they still had the Third Rank soldier figurines carried by Song Mingsong and Song Shan lead the way.

After a bout of mild weightlessness, Song Chi and the others disappeared into the spatial portal.

The environment inside the Dragon Blood Mystic Realm was not much different from that of the Moruo Secret Realm they had experienced before—a dark and eternal void of sealed-off star space. The only difference was, compared to the Floating Land in the Moruo Secret Realm, which was at least comparable to a Second Rank Starry Sea Floating Land, the Floating Land beneath their feet was much smaller.

Of course, this was not due to the innate size when the mystic realm was first formed but rather due to subsequent damage.

The group successively summoned their flagship warships. Song Ting, Song Shishi, and others boarded the Furious Lion, and once the Torch Warships soared into the sky, they soon saw the astonishing ruins at the right corner of the Floating Land below from a bird's-eye view.

This ruin stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers, destroying much of the primal environment atop the Floating Land below and causing more than seventy percent of the area of this Starry Sea Floating Land to collapse.

Inside the Furious Lion, Song Mingsong let out a sigh.

"There must have been combat involving powers at the Fifth Rank Level in this mystic realm; otherwise, such destruction would not have been possible. What a pity."

As he spoke, his gaze rapidly swept over the intact pieces of Floating Land below, and he quickly said:

"Quick, conduct a thorough search of the entire fragment below to see if that special resource unique to the mystic realm has been preserved!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen Torch Warships dispersed and descended below, each responsible for a section, and commenced a systematic search of the remaining fragments of the Floating Land.

Two hours later, the family regrouped, and after such a lengthy search, they had identified all the resource points preserved on the fragments of the Floating Land below.

On one side, Aunt Zhao Hongxue softly reported the replaceings:

"We have identified a total of 15 resource points so far, 14 of which are resources still considered rare in the outside world, including obsidian, mercury crystals, and celestial flowers..."

"Additionally, there's one special resource point from the partly destroyed mystic realm, known as the Dragon Blood Tree."

What followed was a detailed introduction to the Dragon Blood Tree.

The Dragon Blood Tree can produce ordinary Dragon Blood Fruit once every thousand years, which extends life by 10 years, but is only effective for life entities of Second Rank or below.

Every three thousand years, it can produce High Rank Dragon Blood Fruit, extending life by 30 years, effective only for Third Rank and below life entities.

Every ten thousand years, Top Rank Dragon Blood Fruit can be produced, extending life by 50 years, effective for Fourth Rank and below life entities.

While a person can only consume two of the same type of Dragon Blood Fruit, just the lifespan extension feature alone highlights the value of the Dragon Blood Tree and the Dragon Blood Fruit.

However, what the Song Family members found most regrettable was that the Dragon Blood Tree grove was situated right at the edge of the battlefield ruins, leaving only ten surviving Dragon Blood Trees. Furthermore, since each Dragon Blood Tree could only bear a maximum of five fruits at a time, the total number of Dragon Blood Fruits in the mystic realm did not exceed fifty.
