Chapter 363: Day of Awakening
Chapter 363: Day of Awakening
As the Basic Bloodline Ritual was activated on the Bloodline Baptism Platform, Song Chi's muscles tensed up abruptly.
The thick blood mist that suddenly appeared around him quickly infused into his body, causing immense pressure on his physique. It was as if every cell in his body was frantically expanding outward, giving the illusion that his body would explode on the spot at any moment.
However, as the Bazaar Lord, he had complete control over himself within the Bazaar Mystic Realm. Thus, he wasn't fooled by this illusion, and the bloodline baptism continued.
The ten-minute ritual felt like an eternity, longer than a decade. When the dense blood mist on the Bloodline Baptism Platform finally dissipated, it marked the official end of the bloodline baptism.
Standing on the stone platform, Song Chi's appearance hadn't changed, but his bloodline talent had genuinely improved.
Scanning the two lines of information that reappeared before him, a look of satisfaction appeared in Song Chi's eyes.
Genetic Bloodline Talent: 45
Bloodline Baptism Compatibility: 70
With the success of the basic bloodline baptism, his genetic bloodline value had reached 45 points, increasing from 31 to 45, a solid 14-point boost. Although there wasn't a qualitative change in his stage, he remained at the Star Sea Excellent Life tier, but this tangible improvement couldn't be denied.
Song Chi estimated that with his genetic bloodline value now at 45, using the Celestial Phoenix Marrow would likely result in a life tier of around 60 points, surpassing the previous 51-point threshold for Talent Extraordinaire. This would further increase the multiplier of his subsequent law amplitude.
According to previous estimates, after using the Celestial Phoenix Marrow, the law amplitude upon reaching the fourth rank would be close to 20 times. Now, it was certain to exceed 20 times.
Song Chi was extremely satisfied with this.
After resting for two days on the Dragon Backbone Continent, he had completely recovered from the fatigue caused by the bloodline baptism on his physical body. Only then did he return to the Spirit Beast Realm.
A year later, the Cob Alt Number had been continuously exploring the Spirit Beast Realm for most of the region. Whenever the Mirage cooldown was complete, the Skyward AI would immediately control the warship to set sail again.
However, it was frustrating that after more than a year, despite searching most of the Spirit Beast Realm, they still hadn't found any traces of the Celestial Phoenix.
Even though there was still a lot of time left, Song Chi couldn't help but feel a bit impatient, mixed with some concern.
Halfway through the search, with no results, he couldn't help but worry if there were any other Celestial Phoenixes in the Spirit Beast Realm.
On this day, the Cob Alt Number continued its search as usual, controlled by the Skyward AI. Song Chi sat cross-legged on one side, observing.
With the significant improvement in his physique, he could now resume his daily meditations without worrying about his mental breakthroughs affecting his body.
"Attention, possible detection of a Celestial Phoenix's trace, coordinates XXXX, XXXX."
"Warning, the target organism has a 95% probability of being a fifth-rank life form, posing a significant threat to this vessel. Please maintain distance and conceal the ship."
"Note, several hundred kilometers ahead is a large Flame Sunstone mine vein. The target organism has a 90% probability of being a fifth-rank Celestial Phoenix."
Three consecutive alerts suddenly sounded in his ear, filling Song Chi's heart with joy. However, this joy didn't last long. As he gazed at the distant fiery figure through the warship's holographic projection, his brows furrowed.
"A fifth-rank Celestial Phoenix? This is no ordinary trouble..." Song Chi muttered to himself, his eyes filled with gravity.
The Celestial Phoenix's bloodline talent might not be as high as that of the Double Bright Phoenix, but the difference wouldn't be too great. In terms of power, it was roughly on par with the Flame Wrath Giant, and with the rule enhancement of the Immortal Domain fragment and the large Flame Sunstone mine vein below, this creature's combat strength was no less than that of a near-sixth-rank life form.
Of course, the Flame Sunstone mine vein also provided some enhancement to the Flame Wrath Giant, but the overall impact wasn't significant. The Celestial Phoenix had an absolute advantage.
Even so, Song Chi's gaze soon turned resolute.
No matter how difficult it was, he would never give up on this Celestial Phoenix. It was crucial for his future extraordinary potential and would affect his entire life. He wouldn't back down, nor could he afford to retreat.
Moreover, a fifth-rank Celestial Phoenix might yield even stronger Celestial Phoenix Marrow from its remains.
Of course, determination to take action is one thing, but when to act is another matter entirely.
Before taking action, he must be fully prepared.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Cangqiong Number itself, let alone defeating the enemy, he'd be grateful to not be chased by them.
As for the necessary preparations, first, a Tier 5 enslaved creature is a must, and together with the Flame Wrath Giants, they will be the main force against the Celestial Phoenix.
Additionally, he needs to borrow the "Starlight Monitoring Device" component from his grandfather's flagship, the "Raging Lion."
The "Void Cage" trait of this device is highly effective in the current situation.
He recalled the Level 19 Starlight Monitoring Device, and its Void Cage trait was as follows:
{Void Cage: Consumes 3000 Shadow Energy points. After 70 minutes of charging, it generates a void cage in a spherical area with a diameter of no more than 100,000 meters, lasting for 120 minutes.}
If this component can be enhanced to Tier 5, this trait will not only effectively prevent interference from other Tier 5 and 6 beasts in the Sanctuary, but also minimize the Celestial Phoenix's flight advantage. Simultaneously, it can isolate the influence of the large Flaming Sunstone Vein below.
...
Dragon Backbone Continent, Blue Moon Estate.
After confirming a series of follow-up plans, Song Chi returned to the Dragon Backbone Continent.
As for the Starlight Monitoring Device, there was no need for further explanation. With Song Chi's request, his grandfather willingly left the Dragon Backbone Sanctuary and used the Three-Eyed Spirit Ring to safely deliver the Orange-tier component to Song Chi.
Since his grandfather had only enhanced it to Level 40, Song Chi utilized over a year's worth of accumulated resources to further enhance it to Level 50.
In any case, his grandfather had already used an Orange-tier high-quality fire source to elevate his Flame Torch Seed to Orange, so this Tier 5 component could be returned to the Raging Lion without issue.
At this moment, Song Chi was not dealing with this matter but was preparing something else.
Family Elite Communication Channel
A message was sent out.
"Line Ten 'Song Chi': I need to borrow two Ice Wyrms for a few months. I'll pay 100 strands of Tier 4 Floating Land Origin as compensation for each!"
This was Song Chi's second preparation, as the Celestial Phoenix is a fire-attributed creature, and Ice Wyrms have a high probability of countering it.
Coincidentally, he knew that during the previous Holy Dragon Continent operation, the family had enslaved numerous Tier 5 dragons, including Frost Dragons.
Song Chi's message naturally sparked discussions among the family elites.
Most of them were clan elders speculating about his next big move, as he had been responsible for several major events over the past two decades.
In addition to the recent Holy Dragon Continent, there was the Overturning Suppression of the Stark Family's hereditary lineage a few years ago and the ancient Starry Battlefield more than a decade ago, all of which were significant enough to shake the entire family.
Song Chi had no interest in the elders' conversations; he was waiting for the responses from the key figures.
According to his knowledge, the family had brought back four Ice Wyrms from the Holy Dragon Continent, two of Tier 5 and two of Tier 4.
Let's not mention the Tier 4 Wyrms for now; in front of a Tier 5 Celestial Phoenix, the chances of these dragons being defeated are high. The key lies in those two Tier 5 Ice Wyrms.
If he could borrow these two Tier 5 Frost Dragons, with the assistance of the Flame Wrath Giants and the Cangqiong Number, there would be a good chance of capturing the Tier 5 Celestial Phoenix.
One of these Tier 5 Frost Dragons was enslaved by the "Tian Shu Clan Elder" from the Heavenly Lineage, while the other was enslaved by the "Daijiang Clan Elder" from the Ancestral Lineage.
Song Chi's current task was to figure out how to temporarily borrow these two Tier 5 Ice Wyrms from these two elders.
However, Song Chi frowned as neither the Tian Shu Clan Elder nor the Daijiang Clan Elder had responded in the channel.
Finally, he initiated a private chat with the two elders, but unfortunately, he still did not receive a reply.
"Are they in seclusion, or did they go to the Alien Domain?"
All he could do was wait for a while, and Song Chi shook his head, not dwelling on it further.
To ensure he received the elders' responses promptly, Song Chi did not rush back to the Spirit Beast Sanctuary but resumed his usual cultivation routine.
Time passed slowly.
...
Morning Star Calendar 5229, Fixed Sea Calendar 2810.
October 1st, the annual awakening time for the Dinghai Song Clan.
In the sky above the Dragon Backbone Continent, dozens of Flame Torch Warships suddenly appeared amidst intense spatial fluctuations.
These Flame Torch Warships, without exception, are transit vessels under the command of the Song family. They had returned from a large Alien Domain colonization zone under the family's jurisdiction, and at this moment, their ship's cabin was filled with an astonishing number of young men and women.
Through the warship's holographic exterior view, the young people curiously observed everything outside. When they saw the vast Dragon Backbone Continent below, someone murmured,
"Is this the family's ancestral land, the Dragon Backbone Continent, as emphasized in the academy? It's so huge!"
These individuals were the new generation of the Alien Domain colonization zone. They were all around 30 years old, and their return was for the annual Flame Torch Awakening.
As long as they successfully awakened, they would receive startup capital issued by the family and officially begin their subsequent Flame Torch Captain careers.
Even if they failed to awaken, they could choose to stay in the Dragon Backbone Continent or return to their former colonization zone. This was the right of all Song clan members.
However, all the young men and women were aware that although there didn't seem to be much difference, in fact, these were two completely different paths.
One would become the pride of the heavens, a trendsetter in the vast Star Sea, while the other would lead an ordinary life, only able to place their hopes on their descendants, with no chance of defying fate.
There were still many people like these young men and women, and from time to time, the Dragon Backbone Continental Sky above was filled with transit vessels returning to the continent. Their cabins carried over a million new generation of Song clan members.
At the foot of the Dragon Backbone Continent, on the White Jade Square, this was one of the awakening points for this year's Flame Torch Awakening.
Among the numerous young men and women, a youth with a slightly delicate face, his fists clenched tightly, stood facing the center of the square with anticipation.
The youth was named Song Hao, from a Level 4 Star Sea Floating Land colonization point under the jurisdiction of a vein. He was gifted, and his Guiding Art cultivation speed was extremely fast. In just over twenty years, he had reached the peak of Level 6, and his parents and uncles had high hopes for him.
Suddenly, a gentle female voice reached him from his side.
"Brother Song Hao, don't be nervous. You'll definitely awaken the Flame Torch Seed!"
Hearing this voice, Song Hao's heart relaxed, and he turned to look at the girl beside him, nodding.
"Yeah, you too. We've long agreed to explore the Star Sea together!"
The girl was named Song Ya, the daughter of his neighbor's second uncle, and they had been close since childhood.
"Next, Song Hao!"
At this moment, a call came from the awakening platform in the center. It was his turn.
Taking a deep breath, Song Hao firmly stepped onto the awakening platform.
Finally, with the assistance of the pitch-black Flame Torch Origin Seed, he successfully awakened.
"Song Hao, awakening successful. White Flame Torch Seed. Next, Song Ya."
"Song Ya, awakening successful. Colorless Flame Torch Seed. Next..."
Both of them were very lucky, as they had successfully awakened, although the quality wasn't too high. But for Song Hao and Song Ya, this was enough.
After all the awakenings were complete, those who had successfully awakened quickly went to the Shadow Energy Transformation Tower to transform their bodies into Shadow Energy forms. Only then could they condense their Flame Torch Ancestral Vortex and bind a Scout-Class Star Sea Shuttle.
Once everything was finished, and they had successfully obtained their unique Shadow Energy Shuttles, the two of them received the startup resources distributed by the clan.
1000 strands of Level Zero Floating Land Origin and one white-quality shipboard component of their choice.
It wasn't much, but it was known that the Song family had over a million new clan members every year. Even after deducting those who failed to awaken, the number would never be less than three hundred thousand.
Calculating this, the Song family's annual expenditure was an astronomical figure beyond imagination.
After receiving the startup capital from the family, Song Hao and Song Ya didn't rush to enhance their Shadow Energy Shuttles. Instead, they followed the guidance of their parents, who had come before them, and accessed the family forum through the family quantum communication wristbands that had been issued. They began searching for the initial enhancement guide posts for the Shadow Energy Shuttles posted by their senior clan members.
Only by understanding these could they better plan their subsequent enhancement strategies.
Moreover, it was said that the family forum had many trading posts where low-rank components were offered at lower prices than those in the family merit tower.
With the resources provided by their elders, the two of them might be able to buy an additional white-quality component each.
At this moment, Song Ya, standing beside Song Hao, whispered,
"Brother Song Hao, take a look at this post. Isn't it related to the star remains we saw before?"
Song Hao turned his head, and the first thing that caught his eye was the eye-catching post title.
