Chapter 232: Sequence Struggle First Stage
Chapter 232: Sequence Struggle First Stage
"Put it away, keep it for yourself. If you urgently need any resources, you can also exchange it with the family. For these Fourth-Rank creature corpses that can extract source blood, the family will unconditionally purchase them!"
"Of course, it's best to keep them for yourself. Fourth-Rank creature corpses, Grandpa doesn't know how you obtained them, but these things are not easy to get."
...
Song Chi's expression remained unchanged despite the solemn tone of his grandfather. However, inwardly, he slightly curled his lips.
In that ancient star battlefield, there were nearly twenty ten-thousand-meter-long ancient corpses. For other Flame Torch Warship Captains, such high-rank creature corpses were hard to come by, but for him, they were easily obtainable.
Of course, he wouldn't say this out loud, just keep it in his heart.
Seeing him nod, Song Ming Song continued, "Alright, let's not talk about this for now. Tomorrow, you and Grandpa will go back together. You don't need to worry about the Bailin Star Region; your Uncle will stay here. Grandpa will tell you some specific information about the sequence struggle."
Hearing his grandfather mention the family sequence struggle again, Song Chi listened attentively.
Confidence is one thing, but understanding the information is another. Otherwise, it's not confidence but arrogance.
After his grandfather carefully narrated all the information he knew, Song Chi had a basic understanding.
First, for this Seventh Sequence struggle, the family listed a total of 18 candidates. Each of these 18 candidates was an outstanding member of the family's young generation.
Among the 18, 15 were Second Rank and 3 were Third Rank. Some came from the Ancestral Line, some from the two main lines, and others from various direct lines.
However, Song Chi only remembered one person, Song Ze from the main line.
This person was born with purple fire and had a Fourth-Rank grandfather, making him someone who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.
This also showed the quality of these candidates; they were certainly not just strong on the surface but weak inside.
As for the specific information about the first stage of the sequence struggle, no one knew. It was decided by the Clan Head and the Fifth-Rank elders of the clan, and it might only be revealed on the day it officially begins.
Additionally, the family sequence struggle was not a smooth process; it came with considerable danger. In previous sequence struggles, there were cases of casualties.
Hearing this, Song Chi's eyes narrowed.
Indeed, the family selects sequences to cultivate high-rank clan members, even those beyond the Fourth Rank, aiming for the Fifth Rank.
To reach this level, the selected clan members cannot be like flowers in a greenhouse but must be true prodigies who have undergone the baptism of iron and blood.
Understanding this, Song Chi felt a bit of tension.
It wasn't that he doubted the combat power of the Cobalt Number, but he felt that some of his preparations were not yet perfect.
For example, the faith pool of the spirit pillar components was not yet full, and he wondered if he could enslave the two Fourth-Rank Void Demons before the sequence struggle. Two Fourth-Rank combat units might play a significant role in the subsequent sequence struggle.
Fortunately, he still had a month to prepare, which should be enough.
The next day, Song Chi and Song Ming Song boarded the relay warship and returned to the Longji Continent.
As soon as they returned to the Longji Continent, Song Chi didn't even have time to go home. His grandfather immediately received a message from the family.
"Let's go, the family is urging us!"
After saying this, the two simultaneously summoned their Flame Torch Warships and activated the spatial leap devices, quickly disappearing from the sky above Green Moon Lake. When they reappeared, they were already at the foot of Longji Divine Mountain.
At the foot of Longji Divine Mountain, the headquarters of the family's five major halls, the two warships landed one after another.
Seeing his grandfather continue toward Longji Divine Mountain and not stop at the achievement hall or the internal affairs hall, Song Chi felt a bit nervous.
"Grandpa, where are we going?"
Song Ming Song didn't turn around, only answering with four words.
"Clan Ancestral Hall!"
These four words, which clearly exuded high prestige, made Song Chi feel a faint sense of anticipation.
The Clan Ancestral Hall, as the name suggested, was certainly not a place ordinary clan members could easily visit.
However, he was merely one of the candidates for the family sequence.
"It seems that what was said on the family forum, that being listed as a candidate for the family sequence is like having one foot in the upper echelons of the family, is indeed true."
He wasn't a saint; after hearing that he was listed as a candidate, he naturally did some thorough research and gathered a lot of information.
First, it was said that once listed as a candidate for the family sequence, one was essentially half a step into the upper echelons of the family.
Apparently, even if they failed in the subsequent struggle, such clan members, as long as they didn't die young, would inevitably become outstanding members of their rank and have a good chance of advancing to the Fourth Rank.
Initially, he didn't pay much attention to this, but now it was clear that the clan indeed placed great importance on these sequence candidates.
Following his grandfather along the ancient stone steps into the interior of the mountain, Song Chi soon arrived at the so-called Clan Ancestral Hall.
The sky was filled with stars overhead, ancient bronze seats surrounded the area, and the atmosphere was ancient and mysterious.
When all this appeared before his eyes, Song Chi was somewhat dazed. He felt as if he were in an ancient star river, not in an ancient hall within a mountain.
At the same time, a sense of the unknown surfaced in his heart.
Looking up at the vast star river, he felt incredibly insignificant at that moment.
As he was lost in thought, a colossal shadow of a dragon whale suddenly appeared in the vast starry sky, and atop its head, a faint shadow of a mythical mech stood tall. The two figures spanned the vast star river, yet in comparison to the boundless star sea, they were clearly insignificant.
But this scene was deeply etched in Song Chi's heart, as if it had become eternal.
In a daze, a gentle voice echoed in his ear.
"This is a projection left by our Song Clan of Dinghai's founding ancestor from long ago. Do you have any thoughts on it?"
For some reason, Song Chi felt his tongue move of its own accord, and he blurted out without thinking.
"The star river is vast. For us, one person, one warship, and one whale are enough!"
Before he could think further, the gentle voice in his ear spoke again.
"Very good!"
With just those two words, the voice abruptly stopped, leaving no more.
Looking around the hall, fifteen clan members were already waiting. At this moment, all fifteen of them were looking at him.
Song Chi guessed it might have something to do with his earlier response, but he didn't mind. As the fifteen people observed him, he also observed them.
There were eighteen candidates in total, and with his arrival, sixteen were now present, meaning two were still missing.
As for these fifteen people, Song Chi could name them all thanks to his grandfather's introduction, but he wasn't familiar with them.
Beside him, his grandfather bowed and reported to the clan head above.
"Reporting to the Clan Head, the candidate 'Song Chi' from our lineage has arrived!"
A gentle voice came from above.
"Thank you. You may leave. I still need to give these young ones some instructions."
"Yes!"
Bowing again, Song Ming Song turned and glanced at Song Chi beside him.
Understanding that his grandfather was encouraging him, Song Chi nodded lightly, indicating that he knew and that he shouldn't worry, and that he should focus on improving the success rate of the Roaring Lion Ship.
After Song Ming Song left, Song Chi stood behind the fifteen people, waiting quietly for the last two to arrive.
The next person to arrive was the one Song Chi knew best.
Song Ze, from the Earth Lineage.
Compared to Song Chi's arrival, the dozen or so people present were much more enthusiastic, with many actively greeting Song Ze. Clearly, many of them knew Song Ze.
Song Chi remained unperturbed. He was used to being steady and practically invisible. Song Ze, on the other hand, not only came from the main lineage and had the support of a Fourth-Rank Elder, but was also skilled in socializing and knew most people, which was only natural.
What was surprising, however, was that Song Ze actually took the initiative to greet Song Chi, as if they had known each other before.
"Clan brother Song Chi, it's been nearly two years since the Soul Spirit Floatland..."
Song Chi naturally didn't put on airs and smiled in response.
"By the way, Clan brother Song Chi, we haven't added each other as friends yet..."
As they spoke, both of them connected to the Flame Heart Network and added each other as friends.
The family quantum communication bracelet wasn't left behind either, but just then, the last person finally arrived.
Interestingly, with this person's arrival, the faces of the dozen or so people in the hall all turned serious.
Song Chi understood this. According to the information his grandfather had given him, this last arrival, a towering young man nearly two meters tall, was named Song Gang and came from the Song Clan's Ancestral Lineage. His background was said to be as strong, if not stronger, than Song Ze's.
Moreover, this person was said to have already revealed three orange components.
"Orange main cannon, orange enslavement component, orange engine..."
Everyone's faces remained unchanged, but they were recalling information about him in their minds.
Until the clan head, Song Xuan Cang, spoke from above.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's get to the main topic."
As he spoke, Song Xuan Cang waved his hand, and Song Chi and the other eighteen people felt the stars above them collectively fall. Before they could react, the scene before their eyes suddenly changed.
The hall beneath their feet was gone, and the vast starry sky above also disappeared, replaced by a dark and silent starry sky.
In addition, below them was a familiar, grid-like elliptical light screen filled with countless mysterious forces.
"Is this a Floatland Shield?"
Song Chi recognized the light screen below and noticed that compared to the Floatland Shield of the Soul Spirit Floatland, this one was much stronger in terms of thickness, area, and the intensity of the Floatland Rules.
"Could this be the Floatland Shield of a Tier 4 Floatland?"
Unlike the Soul Spirit Floatland, this Floatland Shield was not transparent, and it was impossible to see the inside of the Floatland from the outside or determine its exact level based on its area.
At this moment, Song Xuan Cang, standing beside them, spoke.
"The Floatland beneath our feet is called the Bloodti Continent, a nearly peak Tier 4 star sea floatland. The dominant race within is the Bloodti Clan, with several Fourth-Rank beings in residence."
Hearing this, everyone already had their suspicions confirmed, and the clan head's next words further confirmed it.
"These Bloodti Clan members, after death, produce a special resource called Blood Bodhi, which can enhance the genetic lineage of living beings. The first phase of the upcoming competition will target this Blood Bodhi."
