Chapter 219: Advancement - Purple Ascending Fire Source
Chapter 219: Advancement - Purple Ascending Fire Source
Before heading to the Family Achievement Tower, Song Chi gathered the core members of the Pulse and inquired about their opinions.
Upon hearing that he had obtained six Purple Ascending Fire Sources, including three high-quality ones, the Pulse's elders were shocked once again.
The one who was most impressed was Song Chao, who had recently managed to obtain two high-quality Purple Ascending Fire Sources with great difficulty, allowing him and Chen Liuxia to advance to the Blue Fire Source.
However, his son had now obtained six Ascending Fire Sources at once, making him feel like he had lost face as a father.
Chen Liuxia gave him a stern look, and Song Chao could only laugh and shake his head, finally accepting that his son had surpassed him.
The Pulse's elders were envious, but they had recently spent most of their wealth on the Copper Mountain Floating Land action and couldn't afford to exchange their Titanium Crystals for the Ascending Fire Sources.
Seeing that no one was willing to exchange, Song Chi didn't stay at home for long and headed towards the Dragon Spine Divine Mountain.
At the 49th floor of the Family Achievement Tower, at the achievement point exchange counter, the staff member looked at Song Chi with a hint of surprise.
"Are you sure you want to exchange all six Purple Ascending Fire Sources for gold achievement points?"
The staff member had worked on the 30th floor and above of the Family Achievement Tower for a long time and had seen many rare materials, resources, and artifacts, but this was the first time he had seen someone exchange six Ascending Fire Sources at once.
After Song Chi confirmed, the staff member exchanged the fire sources for 150 gold achievement points, bringing Song Chi's total to 161 points.
As he walked towards the stairs leading to the 50th floor, many people looked at him with curiosity, having noticed the six Ascending Fire Sources.
However, when they saw Song Chi's face, their curiosity turned into a look of surprise.
A few third-rank tribe members approached him.
"Hello, are you Song Chi, the tribe brother?"
Song Chi smiled and responded, "Yes, I am. Nice to meet you, tribe brothers."
The tribe members introduced themselves, and Song Chi realized that they knew him from the family's seventh sequence candidate list.
After chatting with the tribe members, Song Chi continued to the 59th floor, where he exchanged 130 gold achievement points for the Lava Heart Fire.
【Gold Achievement Points - 130, remaining 31 points.】
With the Lava Heart Fire in hand, Song Chi didn't linger and headed back to the White Jade Square.
He boarded the Cyan Alt Number, which was waiting for the Purple River Leap Device to recharge, but Song Chi didn't rush to upgrade the warship's components.
Instead, he planned to use the Lava Heart Fire to advance his Fire Source, a crucial step that required utmost care.
He had been instructed by his parents to return to the Pulse and have them guide him through the process.
After a while, Song Chi controlled the Cyan Alt Number and took off into the sky.
At the Blue Moon Estate, in the secret underground room, Song Chi sat cross-legged, adjusting his state.
Outside, Bai Xiuqin, Song Chao, and Chen Liuxia stood guard, their faces serious.
Song Mingsong and Song Shan were not present, as they had gone to hunt high-rank alien tribes in a new third-rank civilized star.
In the secret room, an unknown amount of time passed. When Song Chi opened his eyes again, he reached out and tightly grasped the orange fire source floating not far in front of him. At the same time, his mana rapidly flowed within his body, eventually converging at the center of his brow.
Having adjusted his state to the best possible, he officially began the process of devouring the lava heart fire.
Under the convergence of mana, the ancestor aperture at his brow slowly opened. At this moment, Song Chi seemed like a great adept who had mastered the ability of the heavenly eye. An additional eye, glowing with intense blue light, appeared at his brow.
In the next second, he raised his right hand, and under the drawing force from the ancestor aperture, the lava heart fire floating in his palm slowly drifted toward his brow.
A few seconds later, the lava heart fire, emitting a rich orange glow, was completely absorbed into the ancestor aperture. As it entered the ancestor aperture, the blue fire source in the chaotic space of the ancestor aperture suddenly flared up, as if it had encountered the best kindling.
Instincts for advancement drove it to quickly devour and fuse with the lava heart fire.
Under a traction force far exceeding what he had experienced before, the lava heart fire rapidly approached the center of the ancestor aperture, where the fire source resided.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
When the two finally made contact, the blue fire source, which had been glowing, seemed to have had a large amount of dry kindling added to it. The blue flames danced wildly, and the burning fire source was like an eternal light in the chaos, illuminating the dim space of the ancestor aperture.
The fire source, which resembled a wild horse injected with an energy booster, rampaged wildly in the void of the chaotic space. In contrast, the lava heart fire slowly dimmed under the devouring and fusion by the fire source. Its brilliant orange glow gradually faded until it was completely integrated into the fire source.
The entire process lasted about an hour. When the devouring was completely finished, the blue fire source also underwent a transformation, changing from its original blue to a brilliant purple.
As the fire source transformed from blue to purple, Song Chi's mind was invigorated. The energy he had expended to promote the fusion of the two flames was fully restored at this moment.
Additionally, with the enhancement of the purple fire source, his mind became more solid than ever before, far surpassing what the blue fire source could achieve.
"Phew!"
After carefully sensing the changes in himself and feeling incredibly good, Song Chi closed the ancestor aperture, and the purple light that had been continuously emitted from the ancestor aperture space completely dissipated.
However, at the instant the ancestor aperture was fully closed, a purple flame flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The secret room's door slowly opened, and the three people who had been guarding outside, never leaving, were about to ask.
But Song Chi spoke first.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, the ascension was successful!"
Hearing this, the three people, whose faces had been tense the entire time, finally broke into genuine smiles.
"Good, good, good..."
Half an hour later, the news of Song Chi's successful ascension to the purple fire source had already reached the ears of all the core members of the Tenth Direct Line. Congratulations continued to pour in.
However, it was limited to this. At White Performance Qin's urging, the news was temporarily confined to the core members of the Tenth Direct Line.
Although even if the news spread, the impact on Song Chi would be limited, given that he was already in the sight of all the Song Clan members.
But White Performance Qin's reasoning was simple: for those on the family lineage candidate list, this was not a big deal and did not need to be widely known.
On this side, after chatting with the elders and Song Qi, Song You, and others for a while, Song Chi quickly bid farewell and left.
Everyone knew that he had just ascended and that there were many things on his warship that needed to be organized, so they did not keep him any longer.
...
In the All-Heaven Market, the Free Stall Area.
After entering the market, Song Chi immediately summoned the Cobalt Number.
With the ascension of the fire source and the significant harvest from the Blood Savage Continent, combined with the remaining titanium crystals, it was the perfect time to significantly reinforce the Cobalt Number. He was naturally eager.
Upon entering the Cobalt Number, Song Chi did not start by reinforcing the components that had already been upgraded to level 39. Instead, he focused on the newly acquired [spirit pillar].
This orange component required the consumption of faith values for its subsequent use. Therefore, the sooner it was reinforced to the third rank, the sooner he could use it to convert Togu Hong, Thorny Dragon, and Zhao Lei into its worshippers, providing faith and rapidly filling the faith pool. This was the most important thing.
Without hesitation, he consumed several zero-rank and first-rank Floating Continent Essences, along with 690 second-rank Floating Continent Essences and 120 titanium crystals, directly reinforcing it to level 30.
He then used the [Enslavement Badge]
Song Chi successfully converted Tuogu Hong and Thorned Dragon into worshippers of this component. He also added Zhao Lei, who was far away in the asteroid belt, as a worshipper using the [Market Travel Permit].
However, Hound One and Hound Two were unable to join, as they were Third Rank and could not enter the market through the [Market Travel Permit].
He would have to wait until he explored the ancient star battlefield and bring them along to become worshippers, engraving them with the [Spirit Pattern]. Additionally, the Third Rank Chimera and Black Water Mystic Snake under their command could also be tried.
After doing this, Song Chi checked the attributes of the [Spirit Pillar] component again, and indeed, they had changed significantly.
Spirit Pillar LV30
Quality: Orange
...
Faith Pool: 20/80,000 (Each Third Rank worshipper provides 8 Faith Points per day)
No need for charging or buffering
Upgrade Requirements: 15 strands of Third Rank Floating Continent Essence, 40,000 Mana Points, 15 Third Rank Life Nuclei, 32 Titanium Crystals
[Spirit Pattern]: Engrave the [Spirit Pattern] on Third Rank and below worshippers. Within a 400,000-meter radius of the Spirit Pillar, the engraver can activate the [Spirit Pattern] to boost themselves, lasting 8 minutes with a 2-hour cooldown.
[Spirit True Body]: Within a 400,000-meter radius of the Spirit Pillar, Third Rank and below worshippers can fully activate all [Spirit Patterns] on their bodies, entering the [Spirit True Body] form, enhancing their combat power comprehensively, lasting 600 seconds with a 360-hour cooldown.
After reaching LV30, Song Chi did not choose to continue enhancing it, not only because he needed resources to enhance other components but also because the Cobalt Number currently did not have any Fourth Rank enslaved creatures. The Third Rank [Spirit Pillar] was sufficient for now.
The next component to enhance was, of course, one of the two highest-quality components on the Cobalt Number, the red epic-quality [Central Star Nuclear Armor].
However, before enhancing this component, he first needed to enhance the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine] component.
All other components needed to be upgraded to Fourth Rank, and the current LV39 engine might struggle to provide enough power. Therefore, Song Chi first upgraded it to LV40.
After reaching LV40, the [Light Energy Aggregation Engine]'s Mana Pool increased to 180,000 points, and its power efficiency significantly improved, sufficient to meet the requirements of upgrading the remaining components and their subsequent consumption.
After enhancing the engine component, Song Chi officially began the enhancement of the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] component.
Do you wish to consume 150 strands of Third Rank Floating Continent Essence + 3 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Continent Essence + 110,000 Mana Points + 150 tons of cobalt ore + 80 Titanium Crystals + 1 Law Stone to upgrade the Central Star Nuclear Armor from LV39 to LV40?
"Confirm!"
With his confirmation, a large amount of resources vanished, all converging into the armor of the warship beneath his feet.
If one looked from the outside, they would see that the Cobalt Number's entire hull was emitting a dense fluorescence, intertwined with subtle and profound forces.
These were the faint law forces condensed from the Law Stone and Fourth Rank Floating Continent Essence under the fusion of a large amount of Mana Points.
After this, the attributes of the [Central Star Nuclear Armor] component had undergone a dramatic transformation.
Central Star Nuclear Armor LV40
Quality: Red
...
Characteristic 3: Additional 170% increase in armor protection value
Consumption: 900/s (Mana Points)
Protection: 8,505,000
No need for charging or buffering
Upgrade Requirements: 5 strands of Fourth Rank Floating Continent Essence, 130,000 Mana Points, 300 tons of cobalt ore, 83 Titanium Crystals, 4 Law Stones
[Central Star Fracture]: Consume 70,000 Mana Points to temporarily transform the warship into a miniature central star form, resisting attacks from the outside, lasting 120 seconds with a 24-hour cooldown.
Additionally, the "Central Star Nuclear-Pulse" characteristic had also changed.
Originally, it repaired 3% of the armor layer every 15 seconds and restored 3% of the ship's energy shield value every 30 seconds. Now, it repaired 4% of the armor layer every 10 seconds and restored 4% of the ship's energy shield value every 20 seconds.
Although the change might seem small, the actual enhancement was quite significant.
For example, with the current LV39 [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] component, the "Central Star Nuclear-Pulse" characteristic could restore 11,800 shield points per second. Now, it had increased to 23,600 points per second, doubling the recovery rate.
Furthermore, once the [Dark Matter Energy Shield Generator] was also upgraded to LV40, this value would increase even further.
