Chapter 276: Guiding Technique Breaks Third Rank · The Weapon Storage of the Trieye Clan Flagship
After calming the excitement in his heart, Song Chi redirected his focus back to exploration.
By the sixty-second day, the safe zone around the second ancient corpse had been successfully established. Not long after, the Cobalt Number successfully towed it into the cargo hold.
On the seventy-fifth day, the two puppet teams responsible for exploring new routes into the ship finally succeeded in opening a new route.
However, the result was extremely disappointing for Song Chi. Although this route successfully led to the interior of the super colossal flagship, it turned out to be a vast storage cabin. Not only did it contain no supplies, but its size was also terrifying. Even the Tier 5 Void Shadow Killer Puppets could not explore the entire storage room.
The closer they got to the storage cabin's door, the more intense the pressure became. The Tier 5 Void Shadow Killer Puppets could only advance up to 200 meters from the door before being unable to proceed further.
After more than two months, only a worthless route had been explored. How could Song Chi not be disappointed?
However, there was no other choice but to continue letting the two puppet teams explore other routes.
On the ninety-third day, Song Chi did not conduct any exploration or safety zone establishment because it was once again the time for the Market Ruins trading session.
As usual, thousands of aliens conducted their trades within the Market Ruins.
In the free stall area, as soon as the Market Ruins trading session began, the fire elemental life immediately found "Blue Blood Clan" Song Chi.
The purpose, as always, was to borrow the [Market Travel Permit].
"This time, I have a 4000-year-old Fire Hawthorn. I only need half an hour. After half an hour, the 4000-year-old Fire Hawthorn and the travel permit will be returned to you on time."
Song Chi naturally agreed without hesitation, handing over the [Market Travel Permit] to the other party.
Regardless of what the other party sought behind the scenes, he only needed to know that the 4000-year-old Fire Hawthorn would definitely help his Guiding Technique break through to the third rank.
Half an hour later, the fire elemental life did not disappoint, indeed bringing the 4000-year-old Fire Hawthorn.
...
After the Market Ruins trading session ended, Song Chi sat on the [Nether Energy Training Platform] in the Cobalt Number and, without hesitation, swallowed the 4000-year-old Fire Hawthorn.
This time, the effect was not as gentle as the previous few times. Song Chi felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of lava. An unbearable burning sensation started from his mouth, spreading down to his abdomen, and finally turning his entire body into a small furnace. A large amount of heat radiated from his body, raising the temperature inside the Cobalt Number.
Enduring the discomfort, Song Chi assumed the standard Guiding Technique cultivation posture and entered the practice of the Nether Energy Guiding Technique with great difficulty.
Song Chi was very clear that the reason for this feeling was due to the high age of the Fire Hawthorn.
A 4000-year-old Fire Hawthorn contained energy far beyond the second rank. If he could not quickly use this vast amount of energy to elevate his Guiding Technique to the third rank, this energy would not only be of no benefit to his body but might even damage his cultivation foundation.
Because he was aware of this, he had to suppress his discomfort and quickly use this energy to push his Guiding Technique to the next level.
Once he broke through, all these issues would be resolved, and this vast amount of energy would become a great aid to his cultivation. It might even push the Guiding Technique to lv31 or lv32 in a short period, saving him a lot of time.
Under the cyclic traction of the Nether Energy Guiding Technique, the lava-like burning energy in his body began to circulate through his limbs and bones. Gradually, Song Chi felt the bottleneck that had been holding him back start to loosen. For the first time in over half a year, he had the feeling of a breakthrough.
Sensing this, Song Chi's resolve grew stronger. The Nether Energy in his body accelerated under his control, driving the burning energy to continue circulating throughout his body.
After an unknown amount of time, Song Chi heard a faint "crack" in his ear. Then he felt the Nether Energy storage in his body suddenly reach a new level.
At the same time, the Nether Energy in his body surged, and boundless dark energy circulated around him, filling the entire Cobalt Number with a powerful energy pressure.
Additionally, the lava-like energy within his body, at this moment, seemed to transform into warm water, no longer causing unbearable burning pain to his body.
Song Chi knew that his Dark Energy Guiding Technique had successfully broken through to level 30. With the breakthrough of the guiding technique, everything about his body received a comprehensive upgrade, including his resistance to alien energies.
"Guiding Technique level 30, from today onward, I am truly a Tier 3 Star Sea lifeform. Even if I make no further progress, I can still roam the Star Sea for six hundred years..."
Thinking of this, a deep excitement instinctively appeared on Song Chi's face, but he quickly reined it in.
"No, I'm still missing the final step of Life Ascension. Only after undergoing the third Life Ascension can I be considered a true Tier 3 lifeform. With this Life Ascension, my mind will reach the level of one heart, nine uses. Once I absorb that drop of Tier 4 Soul Purification Liquid, I will transform into a true Divine Consciousness State..."
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Song Chi quietly waited for the third Life Ascension to arrive.
Soon, an indescribable gentle energy enveloped his entire body. Instantly, the body that had been tense for so long completely relaxed. Countless cells in his body absorbed the essence of the vast life energy, using it to transform themselves.
Additionally, Song Chi's mind became incredibly clear at this moment. Under the cleansing of the unknown energy, his Mind Spirit power rapidly increased.
Time passed, and after several hours, the third Life Ascension was thoroughly completed. Song Chi's entire body underwent a tremendous transformation.
First, his physical strength, which was originally at the Second Rank, reached the Third Rank, and the blood energy in his body became more than ten times stronger.
Second, his Mind Spirit power advanced from one heart, seven uses to one heart, nine uses, bringing him just a step away from the Divine Consciousness State.
Furthermore, the volume of Ether Energy in his body far exceeded what it was at the Second Rank. After advancing to the Third Rank, he could release Ether Energy outside his body.
A large amount of Ether Energy overflowed from his body, surrounding him. Under Song Chi's deliberate control, this vast Ether Energy lifted him up from the Ether Energy Training Platform.
"Indeed, after advancing to the Third Rank, a Flame Vessel Captain can walk on air. This is still because I just advanced to the Third Rank and am not yet familiar with controlling the Ether Energy in my body. In the future, with just Ether Energy, I can instantly escape hundreds of meters, becoming a true superhuman..."
After briefly familiarizing himself with the changes in his Ether Energy and body, Song Chi quickly returned to the Ether Energy Training Platform and resumed the posture for practicing the guiding technique.
The effects of the 4,000-year Fire Hawthorn had only been partially consumed, so he couldn't afford to waste it.
Time passed, and after half a month, when Song Chi descended from the Ether Energy Training Platform, his guiding technique had reached level 31.
Although he hadn't reached level 32, he had already taken a significant step on the path to level 32, which wasn't too far away.
This made Song Chi marvel at the powerful effects of the 4,000-year Fire Hawthorn. A single spiritual fruit not only helped him successfully break through the major bottleneck between the Second Rank and the Third Rank but also further advanced him through a minor level of the Third Rank. The effects were truly astonishing.
Overall, it had definitely saved him more than ten years of time.
Thinking about this, Song Chi looked down at the white jade porcelain bottle in his hand, which contained that drop of Tier 4 Soul Purification Liquid. He ultimately decided against absorbing it directly.
Originally, he had planned to use it immediately after breaking through the guiding technique, but considering the time it took to break through, he restrained himself.
After careful calculation, the time spent breaking through to the Third Rank and absorbing the residual effects of the Fire Hawthorn was nearly two months. This meant that during these two months, he had completely stopped exploring the ancient star battlefield.
This naturally made the already limited time even tighter. Therefore, Song Chi decided to absorb the Tier 4 Soul Purification Liquid after thoroughly exploring the ancient star battlefield.
On the 168th day, the third ancient corpse was successfully guided into the Sky Dome's cabin.
On the 249th day, two groups of Void Shadow Killer Puppets successfully opened the nth route into the ship, which was no longer a dead end but a cabin storing various ranks of Floating Continent Essence.
In this cabin, Song Chi harvested millions of strands of Zero Rank, First Rank, and Second Rank Floating Continent Essence, and even a million strands of Third Rank Floating Continent Essence, which was a staggering amount. However, what was infuriating was that there was no Fourth Rank or higher Floating Continent Essence, apart from the three ranks he had already found.
Song Chi speculated that this Floating Continent Origin Storage Room was likely the lowest ranked, and above it should be a Mid-Rank Origin Storage Room, and perhaps even a High-Rank Origin Storage Room.
Unfortunately, just like the previous empty cabin, the Tier 5 Void shadow assassin puppets could not reach the hatch of this cabin. The oppressive aura transmitted from the outside was terrifyingly strong, forcing Song Chi to abandon his plan of using the Three-E yed Guards' Chief Command Token to try and open the hatch.
With no choice, he had to order the two groups of puppets to retreat from the corridor and continue exploring other routes into the warship.
On the 382nd day, the seventh ancient corpse was successfully retrieved by the Sky Dome.
On the 469th day, the tenth ancient corpse.
On the 661st day, all fifteen ancient corpses were collected by Song Chi. Looking at these ancient corpses, all shrunk to about sixty meters using the Proportional Scaling Device, Song Chi sighed.
Almost two years had passed. Although he had obtained all the ancient corpses, the exploration of the Super Gigantic Flagship was far from satisfactory.
In nearly two years, apart from the batch of micro-substance spirit-activated metal resources, the only gain was the millions of low-rank floating continent essence.
Song Chi was naturally unwilling to accept this.
How could a flagship of such a volume from a Dominant Civilization have only this much? It was just that his strength was too weak, unable to conduct a comprehensive exploration of the ancient flagship's remains.
On the 836th day, the void shadow assassin puppets, which had been working together to open new routes into the warship, brought him an extremely good piece of news.
A brand new route into the warship had been opened, and it seemed to lead to the weapon storage of this Tri-Eye Clan Flagship. One of the weapon storage room doors was wide open, possibly containing weapons far beyond imagination from the Dominant Civilization.
Song Chi was greatly excited by this news. Twelve pseudo-fifth-rank void shadow assassin puppets successively entered this unfamiliar weapon storage corridor.
Similar to the previous mineral chamber corridor, this was also a very long corridor, with different weapon storage rooms on both sides.
Leaving aside the distant ones, just the few storage rooms visible to the void shadow assassin puppets included Weapon Storage 1, Weapon Storage 2, Weapon Storage 3, Weapon Storage 4, and the Main Weapon Storage.
The one with the door fully open was precisely Weapon Storage 2.
Under the command of the brainwave mark in Song Chi's mind, the twelve void shadow assassin puppets slowly made their way down the corridor towards Weapon Storage 2.
Song Chi roughly estimated and quickly found that the oppressive aura emanating from this weapon storage corridor was slightly stronger than that of the mineral chamber corridor, but not much. With the current pseudo-fifth-rank void shadow assassin puppets, the entire exploration should not be difficult.
Receiving this result, he was quite pleased. After all, this was the weapon storage of a seventh-rank warship from a Dominant Civilization, and there should be many powerful weapons. As long as he could obtain these weapons, it would be immensely beneficial for him, a third-rank flame heart captain.
Thinking this, Song Chi's eyes in the Sky Dome suddenly trembled. In the other three perspectives deep in his mind, through the completely open door of Weapon Storage 2, he saw a scene that chilled his heart.
In Weapon Storage 2, there were dozens of void demons gathered around several weapons emitting dense radiance, slowly devouring the vast energy within these oddity weapons.
If they were just ordinary fourth-rank void demons, Song Chi would not be so terrified. Many fourth-rank units had already died at the hands of the Sky Dome..60 before in. Sky Dome before to the being a fifth least presence of fifth-rank void demons, one of which was several times larger in size than the fifth-rank void demons.
Although he could not sense the oppressive aura they emitted, Song Chi guessed that it was likely a sixth-rank void demon.
While feeling terrified, Song Chi's face also showed a look of immense pain. The oddity weapons being gnawed on by these void demons included several emitting red radiance, clearly indicating they were red epic quality ship cannons. The one being gnawed on by the sixth-rank void demon emitted a glaring silver radiance.
The only consolation was that there was a transparent light barrier between the weapon storage and the outside corridor, preventing the dozens of void demons inside from sensing the presence of the void shadow assassin puppets.
Enduring the pain, Song Chi shifted his gaze to the other weapon storages. Since Weapon Storage 2 contained silver legendary quality ship cannons, the other weapon storages might also have some.
