Chapter 340: Acquiring the Red Ascension Fire Source and the Sky-Supporting Clan
Chapter 340: Acquiring the Red Ascension Fire Source and the Sky-Supporting Clan
After much deliberation, Song Chi ultimately decided to pause his exploration of the Immortal Realm Continent fragment.
The reason was simple.
The activation time for the [Beidou Seven Stars Hall · Yaoguang Star Token] in his possession was down to just one year. Given such a short period, he might not be able to explore much within the Immortal Realm Continent fragment. Instead, he might be delayed by unforeseen circumstances when the [Yaoguang Star Token] activates, thereby missing this once-a-decade opportunity.
Rather than risk it, he decided to set it aside for the time being. After all, there were still nearly two hundred years ahead for him to explore, so there was no need to rush.
...
In the Multiverse Market, the All-Attribute Training Room.
After accumulating for some time, the market itself had reached level 36, and the All-Attribute Training Room had naturally followed suit.
Additionally, the several ancient deep-sea clam pearls obtained from the Northern Sea Naga Clan had significantly accelerated Song Chi's Dark Energy Guiding Technique cultivation.
During this period, five thousand-year-old deep-sea clam pearls were used in conjunction with top-grade body-tempering elixirs, allowing his Dark Energy Guiding Technique to progress from level 32 to level 34. In just two years, he had accomplished what other cruiser captains would take decades to achieve, a speed that was nothing short of remarkable.
However, Song Chi was still not satisfied. His Dark Energy Guiding Technique had only just broken through to level 34, and it would normally take several years to reach the peak of level 34, let alone break through the bottleneck to level 35.
"After two months of digestion, the progress from the last 3000-year-old deep-sea clam pearl has been fully absorbed. It's time to use the 5000-year-old deep-sea clam pearl..."
Muttering to himself, Song Chi held a crystal-clear deep-sea clam pearl in his hand, one of the only two 5000-year-old clam pearls he possessed.
He also took out a top-grade body-tempering elixir and carefully ground the 5000-year-old clam pearl into powder. He mixed all the powder into the elixir tube and swallowed it in one gulp.
A month later, a strong dark energy fluctuation emanated from the All-Attribute Training Room.
With the help of the 5000-year-old deep-sea clam pearl, Song Chi's Dark Energy Guiding Technique successfully broke through from the initial level 34 to level 35, and he was just a step away from level 36.
After a few more days, once he had adapted to the sudden increase in his physical attributes, the Thorned Dragon outside called him using heart sound transmission.
Song Yufeng from the Capital Star Domain had sent back a new batch of Starsea Rarities via the family's transport fleet, and it was only about half a year before he returned to the Dragon Spine Continent. Song Chi didn't have high hopes for this batch of rarities.
Leaving the market, he thanked the escort ship from the transport fleet that had personally delivered the items. After the escort ship left, Song Chi casually examined the various Starsea Rarities in the storage capsule.
Due to the increasing number of storage capsules provided by Alon, the number of people using storage capsules within the Song Clan had also increased significantly, including those stationed outside.
Moreover, the storage capsules had begun to be gradually distributed throughout the entire duchy market, making them a highly popular specialty product of the Song Clan of Dinghai.
Song Chi's footsteps paused, and this casual glance gave him a big surprise.
This round of acquired Starsea Floating Land items numbered just over a hundred, and there was only one red rarity. However, this single red epic rarity brought Song Chi immense joy.
[Rarity: Star-Bearing Fire Seed]
[Quality: Red]
[Convertible: No]
[Note: A fire seed produced during the early stages of the Floating Land Core's incubation. Unfortunately, the incubation ultimately failed, and after ten thousand years, it transformed into a red epic fire seed rarity.]
This single red rarity was a red-quality fire seed.
For other Flame Torch Captains, a fire seed rarity that could not be converted into an ascending fire source was of little value, regardless of its quality. However, for Song Chi, it was different.
He clearly remembered that the Fire Elemental Lifeform had a red fire seed rarity that could be converted into an ascending fire source. For the Fire Elemental Lifeform, there was no distinction between a red fire seed rarity and a red fire seed rarity, as both greatly promoted its life essence. If he could convince it to exchange, he might be able to quickly transform his orange Flame Seed into a red Flame Seed.
Thus, how could Song Chi not be elated?
He mentally thanked Song Yufeng and hurriedly entered the market.
Previously, to digest the 5000-year-old deep-sea clam pearl, he had missed a market transaction, but now he could directly initiate it.
...
Ancient Continent, Wasteland Region.
As the ancestral domain of the ancient royal Sky-Supporting Clan, the Wasteland Region stretched endlessly, with a single region capable of overwhelming any 4th or 5th-tier Starsea Floating Land.
In the northwest of the Wasteland Region, there was a majestic mountain range called Western King Mountain, said to be the place where a Sky-Supporting Clan sovereign named Western King had once attained enlightenment.
Now, Western King Mountain was the seclusion place of the current Sky-Supporting Clan's third successor saint son. It stood solemnly in the northwest of the Wasteland Region, like a celestial pillar piercing the heavens.
One day, a hasty team appeared at the foot of Western King Mountain. Surprisingly, this team was not repelled by the sovereign restrictions set by the Sky-Supporting Clan's old ancestor and easily entered Western King Mountain.
At the summit of Western King Mountain, the Sky-Supporting Clan's third successor saint son, who had been in meditation for decades, opened his eyes. His eyes, as brilliant as ancient stars, were filled with a cold light, and he was clearly displeased at being disturbed.
However, the report that followed immediately suppressed his anger.
"Red epic rarity? More than ten red epic rarities... and over a hundred orange rarities?"
Behind him, the commander of the third successor saint son's personal guard respectfully replied:
"Yes, Your Majesty. The space portal behind leads to a mysterious place called the 'Multiverse Market.' I believe the Market Lord behind the Multiverse Market is at least a sovereign-rank great existence."
The word "sovereign" instantly brought a deep sense of caution to the eyes of the usually uninterested Sky-Supporting Clan successor saint son.
A sovereign was a terrifying existence that could stand at the pinnacle of the Ancient Continent, capable of suppressing an entire ancient divine mountain with a wave of their hand. As long as their true spirit remained, they could easily live for a hundred thousand years. Even though the Sky-Supporting Clan was one of the royal clans of the Ancient Continent, there were only two such beings in the clan.
After a brief moment of shock, the third successor saint son asked in a serious tone:
"How do you know this?"
The commander of the personal guard quickly replied:
"Because, among the orange and red rarities, the mysterious Multiverse Market also offered a golden sanctum rarity as a trade item."
When the words “Overlord” were mentioned, the third Successor Saint Son's heart was once again stirred up in a tumultuous wave, much like the reaction he had before. The mention of the "Golden Sacred Domain" caused an even greater upheaval.
After all, even one of the clan’s most profound treasures, which he had only caught a fleeting glimpse of, was merely a Golden Sacred Domain artifact.
Before he could speak, the commander of his personal guards continued:
"Highness, the spatial gateway will only remain open for a day. Should we...?"
Before he could finish, a large quantity of high-tier Floating Land Essence was already thrown from the third Successor Saint Son’s hand, and the commander quickly caught it.
"Go, try to secure as many red and orange oddities as possible. As for the Golden Sacred Domain artifact, forget it. Something of that level is beyond our reach."
After saying this, he continued to address another issue:
"And there’s no need to exchange the [Market Guest Permit] and [Market Travel Permit]. An existence of Overlord rank, when trading with such a being, it’s like completely entrusting your life to the other party. If they’re in a good mood, there’s no problem, but if they ever get angry, a single thought could crush us. It’s not wise to get too deeply involved with them!"
"Yes, highness!"
As the commander of the personal guards turned to leave, a ripple appeared in the space beside the third Successor Saint Son. Then, a figure with an aura as deep and unfathomable as the sea quietly appeared.
"Shall I go and take a look?"
The third Successor Saint Son hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"Just investigate from a distance. Under no circumstances should you put yourself in danger..."
This was the guardian assigned to him by the clan, the greatest support that allowed him to return unscathed from his travels across the entire Ancient Continent. He couldn’t afford to let anything happen to him.
...
In the Many Heavens Ruins Market, at the oddity exchange shop.
A fire elemental lifeform stood in the shop, occasionally glancing at the [Star-Bearing Fire Seed] on the front counter and feeling the [Supreme Yang Flame] within its body, its eyes showing hesitation.
Both were red fire seeds, and to the fire elemental lifeform, they weren’t much different.
However, the [Supreme Yang Flame] had been nurtured within its body for many years and had become even more compatible after its recent ascension to the third tier. If it were to suddenly replace it with the [Star-Bearing Fire Seed], it would take at least twenty years, or even longer, to nurture it to the same level. This is why the fire elemental lifeform was hesitant.
Beside it, Song Chi, dressed in a disguise of the Blueblood Clan, stood quietly, observing the changes in the fire elemental lifeform’s fiery eyes.
Feeling its hesitation, Song Chi carefully chose his words and began to persuade:
"Over the past decade, haven’t you been collecting other fire seed oddities? The purple and orange fire seeds, along with the red fire seed you’re exchanging, should be enough to get you a [Market Travel Permit]. I can’t always lend you my travel permit, so why are you hesitating?"
Hearing Song Chi’s persuasive words, the fire elemental lifeform’s eyes flickered more rapidly, clearly tempted. However, it soon hesitated again:
"Although I’ve collected quite a few fire seed oddities, I only have a total of 12 purple and orange ones. Some of them might not meet the requirements of the Market Lord. I’m afraid it won’t be enough to exchange for a [Travel Permit]!"
Song Chi understood and quickly thought of a solution.
"That’s easy. I’ll make up the difference. However, in return, you’ll need to help me gather more high-year Fire Hawthorns, and the fire seeds that don’t meet the requirements should be pledged to me first!"
As soon as he said this, the fire elemental lifeform’s eyes flickered even more rapidly, but before it could say anything, Song Chi urged:
"Quick, my informants at the market entrance have reported that those Sky-Supporting Clan members have returned. We don’t have much time left to complete the exchange!"
The fire elemental lifeform immediately made a trade request.
Song Chi naturally diverted his attention to the market’s law power to respond.
The fire elemental lifeform offered 12 fire seed oddities of purple quality and above, 8 purple and 4 orange. Among them, only 5 purple and 2 orange could be converted into ascending fire sources. Song Chi then pretended to add a few more orange oddities to complete the transaction, making both parties "happy."
With a subtle smile in his eyes, Song Chi was extremely excited. While listening to the fire elemental lifeform’s gratitude, he secretly took the [Supreme Yang Flame] he had long desired and divided his attention to the approaching Sky-Supporting Clan members.
He paid close attention to these third-tier Sky-Supporting Clan members, especially because he could sense the aura of law power from two of them.
This meant that these two were third-tier geniuses who had already comprehended the laws.
This wasn’t the key point. The key was that from previous conversations and observations, he learned that these two were personal guards of a certain Successor Saint Son.
The moment he realized this, Song Chi immediately understood that the power behind these Sky-Supporting Clan members was far from simple.
Joking aside, to have two third-tier geniuses who had comprehended the laws as personal guards, the Successor Saint Son behind them couldn’t be simple either.
It was like how Song Bei and Song Ze, the young geniuses of the Song Clan, had become followers of other Flame Torch Captains. One could imagine how terrifying the talent and strength of the Flame Torch Captain they followed must be.
Without exaggeration, Song Chi believed that he himself would have to reach at least his current level to have such qualifications.
And this was just a Successor Saint Son. What about the true Saint Son?
While keeping an eye on the Sky-Supporting Clan members, Song Chi parted ways with the fire elemental lifeform and headed toward the shop where the Gnome Luke and the Star Origin Empire’s Alon were located.
He hadn’t forgotten his other important goal for this market opening: to purchase advanced fully automatic intelligent chips.
As expected, when Song Chi arrived at the Gnome’s shop, Gnome Luke was not there. The shop was managed by a gnome commercial robot.
After explaining his purpose, the robot contacted Gnome Luke using a special method. A few minutes later, Gnome Luke, looking reluctant, appeared before Song Chi.
"Four-armed swindler, if there isn’t a big deal, I, the great Gnome Luke, swear I will punch a fist-sized hole in your head!!"
Song Chi completely ignored the other’s powerless threat and got straight to the point:
"Do you have any advanced fully automatic intelligent chips?"
