Chapter 403: Breakthrough to the Fourth Rank of the Tianxu Cangqiong Number and Guidance Technique
Chapter 403: Breakthrough to the Fourth Rank of the Tianxu Cangqiong Number and Guidance Technique
In the main control room of the Xue You Ship, Shen You Ran was also considering the matter of changing the name of the warship.
After discussing for a long time, they finally decided to rename the Xue You Ship to Bai Xue Qing You Ship.
As for Song Chi's Tianyu Ship, they decided to associate it with the high-ranked secret realm of the Multiverse Marketplace and named it the Tianxu Cangqiong Number.
After that, the two of them discussed their wedding plans with their families for several days.
Two months later, the Song family, represented by Song Xingru, Song Mingsong, and the Song couple, personally went to the North Dome Star Domain to propose a marriage.
Half a year later, the Ding Hai Song Clan held a grand wedding, and Song Chi and Shen You Ran officially became husband and wife.
On the day of the wedding, not only were the couple, Song Chi and Shen You Ran, extremely happy, but even the Song couple and Shen's parents were overjoyed to the point of tears.
After all, they had been waiting for this day for a long time.
However, even though the two were already married, Shen You Ran did not stay on the Dragon Backbone Continent for long and returned to the North Dome Star Domain after a few months.
Now that both of their ships have been promoted to the Deer Hunt Ships, the next step is to continue improving their understanding of the Primordial Law and to break through to the fourth rank of the Guidance Technique within the next ten years before the Great Expansion War begins, becoming a true Deer Hunt Ship Captain.
Only by doing so can they achieve higher safety and increase their gains in the subsequent expansion wars.
Based on this, Shen You Ran must return to the North Dome Star Domain because after her breakthrough, the ten-year law amplitude period will definitely require her to enter the original secret realm controlled by the Shen family.
The secret realm controlled by the Shen family, or rather, one of the original secret realms within it, is the most suitable for Shen You Ran, including allowing her to enhance her understanding of the law during the amplitude period and providing the most suitable inheritance of other secret techniques for her cultivation.
Song Chi agreed with this, as with the Multiverse Marketplace, the two of them could meet anytime, and the impact would not be significant.
After Shen You Ran's departure, Song Chi also began to devote himself to understanding the law and adjusting his state to prepare for the breakthrough of his Guidance Technique.
The Great Expansion War was only twenty years away, and they had to make the most of every moment.
In the following years, he did not stay in the Multiverse Marketplace but directly entered the Dragon Backbone Secret Realm, which currently provided higher bonuses compared to the Marketplace Secret Realm.
As for the remaining twenty years? This also had little impact, as Song Chi's understanding of spatial law had already reached 1.61%, and even if he stayed in the Dragon Backbone Secret Realm for twenty years, the impact would be limited.
Moreover, he would break through to the fourth rank during this time, and once he did, both his understanding of spatial law and light law would directly advance to the initial or intermediate stage, allowing him to stay in the Dragon Backbone Secret Realm for an even longer period.
This time, Song Chi divided his time equally, spending several years understanding spatial law and several years understanding light law.
Although he had always focused on spatial law, as his understanding of it gradually improved, his progress slowed down significantly, and he was about to reach the upper limit of what a third-rank life could achieve. In comparison, light law was much easier.
Upon arriving at the Dragon Backbone Secret Realm, Song Chi did not linger in the secret technique inheritance stele area at the halfway point of the mountain but continued upward until he reached the most suitable original spatial law essence manifestation point for his current level of understanding, and only then did he begin to further his understanding of the law.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it had been eight years since Song Chi's stay in the Dragon Backbone Secret Realm.
On this day, he opened his eyes.
"It's time to start preparing for the breakthrough to the fourth rank of the Guidance Technique!"
Muttering to himself, Song Chi stood up from the original light law manifestation point and began to stretch and relax his body, which had been almost immobile for the past eight years.
With about twelve years left until the Expansion War, the reason for starting the breakthrough preparation eight years in advance was that breaking through to the fourth rank was not something that could be achieved overnight, and advance preparation was necessary.
Additionally, after breaking through to the fourth rank of the Guidance Technique, he would need to spend more than a year understanding new inherited secret techniques after the ten-year law amplitude period.
Understanding three secret techniques before the fourth rank was already his limit, but after reaching the fourth rank, this restriction would be more relaxed, and understanding one or two more secret techniques could further enhance his strength.
To attempt a breakthrough to the fourth rank of the Guidance Technique, one must not be hasty. In addition to the well-prepared Crimson Blood Peach tree and a 7,000-year-old deep-sea pearl, it was also necessary to adjust one's physical condition to its best, as this would increase the chances of a successful breakthrough.
As Song Chi stretched his body, he also sorted out all his gains from the past eight years.
First was spatial law; in the first four years, he focused solely on the essence of spatial law, and with the assistance of his twin pupils, his understanding of spatial law increased from 1.61% to 1.77%.
This increase was not significant, but there was no other way, as the higher the understanding, the more difficult it became to improve.
Next, he focused on the Law of Light. For the past four years, he had been comprehending this auxiliary law.
As a result, his understanding of the Law of Light skyrocketed from 0.48% to 0.95%, a remarkable progress.
According to their comprehension, once their Guidance Technique reached the fourth rank, both laws would directly surge to the level of Small Accomplishment. Furthermore, after the ten-year law fluctuation period, there was a possibility that the Law of Space could directly surpass 40%, entering the level of Medium Accomplishment.
...
In the Multiverse Marketplace, another market transaction was about to begin.
Although he had been devoting himself to comprehending the laws for these eight years, Song Chi had never missed a single market transaction. Each transaction represented a substantial amount of Floating Land Essence.
After the promotion of the Cob Alt Number to the fourth rank, the enhancement limit of all onboard components had reached the sixth rank. This meant that Song Chi urgently needed a large amount of Floating Land Essence, and he couldn't afford to miss any opportunity to earn money.
Not long after the market opened, Shen You Ran came over.
With Song Chi's deliberate concealment, the two of them headed towards the Bloodline Baptism Platform.
Soon, the Bloodline Baptism Platform provided the compatibility data for Shen You Ran's new bloodline baptism.
80 points! She had barely reached the threshold for the intermediate bloodline baptism.
Seeing that the conditions were met, Song Chi didn't hesitate and immediately initiated the intermediate bloodline baptism.
After the baptism was complete, Shen You Ran's genetic bloodline talent reached 55 points, still not as high as Song Chi's, but it was enough to enter the "Gifted" bloodline level.
The two agreed that after this market transaction, they would try to break through the fourth rank of the Guidance Technique together.
However, Song Chi couldn't help but sigh. If possible, he would have liked to complete the final advanced bloodline baptism before breaking through the fourth rank. But it was simply not feasible.
For these eight years, he had never given up on acquiring high-level resources for strengthening his physique. He had even mentioned it to the family head and reached out to Shen You Ran's family, the Shen Clan, and the members of the Rao Guang Star Tower.
But up until now, his compatibility for the bloodline baptism was still only at 84 points, and 90 points seemed like a distant dream. If he insisted, perhaps in another two or three decades, there might be a slim chance of achieving it, but that would undoubtedly conflict with the upcoming Great Expansion War.
Based on this, it was clear that completing the final baptism at the third rank was out of the question.
Amidst the countless conversations of various aliens, this market transaction was gradually coming to an end.
Before the market transaction concluded, Song Chi opened the market attribute panel and took a look.
His face lit up with joy. With the accumulation of the past eight years, the market level could now be enhanced to level 45. He believed that in the next twelve years, the market level would undoubtedly reach level 46.
This meant that before the Great Expansion War began, he would have an additional Ruins Market Projection Permit in his hand, which was a piece of good news.
Although he had always kept one as a backup, having an extra one was undoubtedly more reassuring.
Moreover, his grandparents and parents might also need it in the future.
After the market transaction ended, Song Chi did not return to the Dragon Backbone Continent. Instead, he entered the All-Attribute Training Room, which provided better assistance for breakthroughs compared to the Dragon Backbone Continent. After closing the training room door, he immediately began to concentrate and adjust his state.
A few days later, when Song Chi felt that his condition had reached its peak, he took out a Crimson Blood Peach and a top-tier body-forging elixir that had been mixed with the powder of a 7000-year-old deep-sea pearl.
Taking a deep breath, he swallowed the Crimson Blood Peach first.
The medicinal power of this high-quality spiritual fruit was much gentler compared to the 7000-year-old deep-sea pearl. Song Chi easily absorbed all of its effects.
Moreover, its duration was sufficiently long, and Song Chi took three days to absorb all of its medicinal power. During these three days, he repeatedly tried to break through the shackles between the third and fourth ranks of life, coming close to success several times, but always falling short at the last moment.
Even after the entire medicinal power of the Crimson Blood Peach was exhausted, Song Chi still couldn't break through the fourth rank of the Guidance Technique.
After a brief moment of disappointment, Song Chi quickly took out the top-tier body-forging elixir and drank it in one gulp.
Compared to the Crimson Blood Peach, the medicinal power of this elixir was overwhelmingly potent. Even though it had been mixed with the high-year deep-sea pearl, Song Chi felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of lava, scorching his entire esophagus. The sensation was unimaginable.
However, the powerful medicinal power also represented tremendous energy. After taking the top-tier body-forging elixir, Song Chi's body, which had felt extremely hollow due to the ineffectiveness of the Crimson Blood Peach, recovered.
Seizing this opportunity, he channeled this massive energy along with his shadow energy, circulating and rotating it within his body. When the timing was right, he once again mobilized all his energy towards the shackles, which were no longer as sturdy as before.
Once...
Twice...
...
Snap!
Song Chi himself wasn't sure how many times he had tried, but finally, a crisp cracking sound came from the shackles.
Seizing the opportunity, Song Chi gathered all his energy and channeled it towards the shackles once more.
Boom!
A thunderous roar, as if splitting the heavens and earth, reverberated in his mind, and the next second, a brand-new world appeared before his eyes.
The shadow energy within him seemed to cheer, joyously roaming in this new world.
Song Chi knew that he had successfully broken through the bottleneck, and from this moment on, his Guidance Technique officially advanced from the third tier to the fourth.
However, there was no time for joy, as Song Chi once again focused his entire being on sensing every part of his body.
Normally, after breaking through with the Guidance Technique, one would soon face the most crucial step: his fourth life sublimation and baptism.
Only after completing this baptism could one truly be considered a fourth-tier life form in the Celestial Sea, and their lifespan would be extended to two thousand years.
In the quiet anticipation, these few short seconds felt like an eternity, until a vast, gentle energy enveloped his body, and Song Chi's fourth life sublimation officially began.
After an unknown amount of time, when the gentle energy completely dissipated, Song Chi opened his eyes again.
At that moment, the shadows in his pitch-black pupils emerged, and immediately, the power of the two fundamental laws of space and light rapidly condensed in his eyes.
The right eye contained the law of space, and the left eye held the law of light.
In a short time, both fundamental laws underwent a qualitative change.
The law of space, which was only at 1.77% a moment ago, now directly amplified to 37.17%, not only reaching the small achievement but also just a step away from the middle achievement.
The law of light, previously at 0.95%, now reached 19.95%, also achieving the small achievement, although it was still significantly lower than the law of space.
After the ten-year law amplification period, there was a high probability that it could directly break through 30%, which wasn't too bad.
Space trembled, and light shone, at this moment, the entire Full Attribute Training Room was almost filled with the two fundamental laws that had reached the small achievement.
This situation lasted for about ten minutes, until Song Chi became familiar with the surging law insights and physical qualities he had gained, and the two energies in the Full Attribute Training Room slowly dissipated.
When Song Chi opened his eyes again, the very noticeable shadow in his pupils had completely returned to normal, and aside from the occasional traces of powerful shadow energy on the surface, there was no sign that he had just successfully broken through to the fourth tier.
Song Chi did not leave the Ruin Market, but instead, he waited quietly. If his calculations were correct, Shen You Ran's results should also be out soon, and only after getting news from Shen You Ran's side could he truly be at ease.
Two days later, Shen You Ran entered the Ruin Market using the Marketplace Travel Token.
However, the moment she entered, Song Chi's eyebrows furrowed.
Under his Twin Pupils, Shen You Ran's situation couldn't be hidden from him. She was still at the third tier and had not broken through.
This left only two possibilities: either she had failed to break through, or she had not attempted it yet.
"Did you fail?"
"Yes..." Shen You Ran's eyes dimmed slightly.
Song Chi could only offer words of comfort: "This is normal. If breaking through to the fourth tier was this easy, then nine out of ten Flame Ship Captains wouldn't be stuck at this step. There's still plenty of time, take a few months to adjust, and then try again later!"
Shen You Ran's failure disrupted some of Song Chi's plans, but the impact wasn't significant, and this was also within his expectations.
Song Chi's intention was to take a two-month break, restore his state, and then try to see if he could obtain another high-year Deep Sea Pearl during the next Ruin Market transactions, which would make the subsequent second attempt much easier.
Two months later, with the help of a 5000-year Deep Sea Pearl and an additional Crimson Blood Peach provided by Song Chi, Shen You Ran made her second attempt to break through to the fourth tier, and this time, there were no more mishaps. She successfully advanced her Guidance Technique to the fourth tier.
At the same time, with a 17-fold law amplification, Shen You Ran's understanding of the law of space increased from 1.05% to 17.85%, also reaching the small achievement.
In this state, just like Song Chi, when using the law of space, not only could she manipulate a countless number of times more law, but the power of the law of space itself was also greatly enhanced.
Only after confirming this did Song Chi return to the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm, where he would stay for the next ten years until the law amplification period ended.
