Chapter 518: The Crimson Star Hyperdimensional Continent
Chapter 518: The Crimson Star Hyperdimensional Continent
Song Chi swore that the backlash from this teleportation was the most severe he had experienced in over two hundred years.
Even with his Guidance Technique having reached the Fifth Rank, it still took him several minutes to recover, and he managed to suppress the tumultuous feeling in his heart.
Yet, Song Shixing's eyes still shone with admiration.
According to him, every time Song Yan traveled back and forth when he was at the Third Rank, he would have to rest for four to five days to fully recover.
...
Song Chi didn't dwell on this matter, as the Crimson Star Continent was at least 30 billion light-years away from the Dragon Spine Continent, and it was not unusual to experience such after-effects from teleportation.
Looking past Song Shixing in front of him, Song Chi surveyed the surroundings, but he was soon disappointed.
Instead of the majestic and grand scenery he had imagined, the area around the teleportation channel was similar to the Dragon Spine Continent, enclosed within a secluded and sturdy Dragon Blood Adamant chamber.
Just then, Song Shixing's voice reached Song Chi's ears.
"This multidimensional portal not only concerns the retreat of our Hidden Vein members but also the safety of our family's ancestral land. It's something that must never be exposed to outsiders."
Song Chi understood this perfectly, and the two of them soon exited the special chamber.
Unlike the Dragon Spine Continent, this multidimensional portal on the Crimson Star Continent was not located within a mountain but deep underground.
Surrounding this portal, the Hidden Vein had established an astonishing underground city in this subterranean area.
As they made their way through the narrow chamber passage, Song Chi soon caught sight of the family's base located several thousand meters beneath the ground.
Due to the presence of over tens of millions of Hidden Vein members, the city occupied a vast area, divided into numerous sections. In his first glance, Song Chi had only seen a small portion of the city.
To become thoroughly familiar with the entire city, Song Chi estimated that it would take quite some time.
However, according to Ancestor Shixing, the area they were currently in was already the most crucial part of the Dragon Abyss City, and the outer regions were even more extensive, accommodating a larger number of residents.
"Alright, let's go meet the core members of the Hidden Vein first. They must be eagerly awaiting us as well!"
Hearing this, Song Chi nodded.
At the heart of Dragon Abyss City, within the Dragon Abyss Hall.
This place was one of the most significant locations for the entire Hidden Vein and the venue for discussing crucial matters.
On this day, over thirty figures had gathered in the Dragon Abyss Hall, all sharing a common trait—the lowest cultivation level among them was the Fourth Rank, making them the most core members of the Song Family's Hidden Vein.
At that moment, the elder seated on the right side of the long rectangular deliberation table in the center of the hall spoke up:
"Shixing has returned, and that person from the Ancestral Vein that you've all been longing for..."
The elder paused, a smile playing on his lips as he teased them.
Seeing this, one of the Hidden Vein elders couldn't help but speak up.
"Yao Zu, don't keep us in suspense. We've admired that renowned person from the Ancestral Vein for a long time. The Hellfire Mech, the Blood of the Evil God, the Time Boundary Fruit... If not for his help, our Hidden Vein wouldn't have risen so steadily over the past two hundred years."
Elder Yao Zu, seeing that it was about time, smiled and said,
"Rest assured, he's here, and this person has recently accomplished another significant feat. He successfully enslaved a Starry Sky Shark of the Dominator Grade, and he brought it along this time!"
"Hiss!"
"Really?"
...
With these words, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly turned solemn, and everyone's breathing grew heavier.
"Could Shixing's message be false?"
Upon receiving confirmation from the elder, the faces of the thirty-plus people in the Dragon Abyss Hall all showed obvious excitement.
The hall soon buzzed with discussion.
"A Starry Sky Shark of the Dominator Grade, hahaha, excellent!"
"For over two thousand years, without a true apex powerhouse to lead us, the Hidden Vein has been restrained and cautious, unable to truly flourish. We've had to rely on occasional assistance from the Ancestral Vein, and it's been truly frustrating."
"Yes, aside from that large Titanium Crystal Ore Vein with a mineral core, we've hardly contributed much to the Ancestral Vein. Now, we can finally go all out and make a difference!"
"That's right. I remember that Yao Zu discovered traces of a Silver Advancement Flame Source over a thousand years ago, but it was occupied by the Fire Crow Tribe. We've been hesitant to take action."
"Alas, we had no choice. Although the Fire Crow Tribe only has a Sixth Rank Fire Crow as its leader, it's an affiliated civilization of the Flame Sparrow Tribe. If we were to offend the Flame Sparrow Tribe, which has a Seventh Rank Flame Sparrow Dominator, our Dragon Abyss City would be uprooted. How dare we draw the attention of the Fire Crow Tribe?"
"There's also the Eternal Stone Brick Ore Vein that Yan discovered not long ago. It's located not far from the resting place of a Yellow Sand Horned Dragon, so we've been hesitant to mine it as well!"
"Speaking of which, I still remember the Sword Slave Tribe that assassinated two of our Hidden Vein elders three hundred years ago. They did so boldly, sinking the warships of the two elders with three Fifth Rank Sword Slave Tribe members, all because of a Silver-grade Super-grade Sword Energy-type Main Cannon that was traded in Dragon Stone City!"
As the discussion continued, the initial excitement of the crowd gradually turned into bitterness, as they recounted the blood and tears of the past two thousand years.
The elder Yao Zu, sitting in the right-hand seat, remained silent for a long time before finally speaking up:
"Alright, let's put all the past misfortunes behind us. From now on, the Hidden Vein of the Song Family and the entire Dragon Spine Song Family will only get better and stronger. It won't be long before we might even enter the ranks of the immortal aristocratic families."
These sudden, passionate words finally lifted the atmosphere in the hall.
...
In the central area of Dragon Abyss City, on a street with few passersby, Song Chi and Song Shixing walked side by side.
At this moment, Song Chi had fallen silent, having heard everything discussed in the Dragon Abyss Hall through the family's quantum communication bracelet, courtesy of Song Shixing.
Listening to the Hidden Vein members' words, their resentment and sorrow for the past two thousand years were palpable. As a member of the Song Family, Song Chi couldn't help but empathize with their experiences.
Noticing Song Chi's somber mood, Song Shixing gently patted his shoulder and spoke in a low voice:
"There's no need to dwell on what you've heard. The starry sea is vast, and ninety-nine percent of all lifeforms struggle for survival within it. What we've experienced is nothing extraordinary. However, there's one crucial point. Due to various reasons, there hasn't been much interaction between the two sides, and this is your first time here. But that's not important.
The crucial thing is that both the Hidden Vein and the Ancestral Vein are part of the Dragon Spine Song Family, and we are all striving for the family's development and prosperity. Now that you've arrived at the Hidden Vein's base, it's natural to feel unfamiliar. Just spend some time getting to know the clan members, but don't intentionally distance yourself. After all, the Song Family is one, united."
"
Song Shixing spoke at length, and his intentions were clear.
Song Chi naturally understood and would never harbor such thoughts.
Seeing his earnest nod, Song Shixing didn't say more.
Suddenly, Song Chi's gaze shifted to a stone chamber on the side.
This stone chamber was vast, but it wasn't a residential area; instead, it was a specially designed cultivation room.
"Ancestor Xing, is this a Super-grade Heaven Star Grass?"
Song Chi's eyes lit up, recognizing the cultivation room filled with Heaven Star Grass of considerable age.
"Indeed, it's Super-grade Heaven Star Grass. It was planted after the base stabilized, but it still needs some more time.
Beneath our feet lies a Seventh Rank Origin Source eruption eye of the Crimson Star Continent. The family brought a large nuclear fusion reactor and three Sixth Rank enslaved creatures from the ancestral vein to jointly suppress it. This provides a certain growth acceleration effect for various spiritual herbs and materials. In a few more years, the first batch of three-thousand-year-old Super-grade Heaven Star Grass will mature."
After hearing the explanation, Song Chi thought to himself, "As expected," and also felt a hint of anticipation.
Considering the family's long-term plans, he believed that such cultivation rooms would never be limited to just one. It was highly likely that every ten years, or even every five years, a batch of Heaven Star Grass was planted, and this had been uninterrupted for over two thousand years.
This meant that soon, the family would gain a new supply point for producing Super-grade Heaven Star Grass.
With a sufficient supply of Super-grade Heaven Star Grass, the clan could prepare a large amount of Super-grade Bodybuilding Elixir, which would undoubtedly be excellent news for the family's high-ranking members.
Even he, at this moment, could use this Super-grade Bodybuilding Elixir. Combined with the Ten Thousand Year Deepwater Pearl, it would further reduce the time needed for his advancement to the Dreadnought.
...
Soon, the two of them entered the core building of the Hidden Vein, the Dragon Abyss Hall.
As he stepped into the hall, Song Chi felt numerous gazes fall upon him.
Following behind Song Shixing, Song Chi remained composed, a smile on his face.
"Little Chi, this is your Radiant Ancestor. Like me, he has dedicated his entire life to the development of the Hidden Vein for over two thousand years."
Just as Song Chi was about to perform the junior's greeting, the Radiant Ancestor spoke up with a smile:
"Shixing, you're giving me too much credit. I've merely been hiding in the underground city, and in the end, I wasted the Fifth Rank Time Boundary Fruit that Little Chi sent."
Previously, he had provided two Time Boundary Fruits to the Hidden Vein, one of which was used by this Radiant Ancestor. Unfortunately, even with the two opportunities provided by the Time Boundary Fruit, he still failed in his advancement.
Now, over seventy years have passed. With the help of the Fifth Rank Moon Spring, he has cultivated a new Flame Ship and, with some assistance from the Hidden Vein and the high-level components preserved intact from his previous advancement, he has managed to advance his new ship to a Deer Hunt Ship. However, with his age, it's clear that there won't be another chance to challenge for the position of Dreadnought Admiral.
Hearing this, Song Chi quickly responded:
"Ancestor, your words are not accurate. Ship advancement is a matter of luck, and no one can predict it. The fact that you have dedicated your life to the family is a lifelong role model for us younger generations. The entire family is filled with gratitude towards you and nothing else!"
Clap, clap, clap! As he spoke, the hall erupted in enthusiastic applause.
At that moment, a warm voice came from the side.
"Well said! The family has provided for the Song Clan for a lifetime, and it's only right that they receive support in return!"
Hearing this, Song Chi instinctively turned his head to the side, seeing a middle-aged man sitting at the left-hand side of the deliberation table.
This man had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and his entire being seemed to emit no aura. However, Song Chi, through his Heavy Pupil, detected the immense Flame Law and the Fifth Rank Dark Energy strength within his body.
He was puzzled by this, but at that moment, the man also turned his gaze towards him, and their eyes met.
Finally, the man smiled and said,
"Elder Seven, take a seat. I've kept a spot for you!"
Before Song Chi could respond, Song Shixing's explanation reached his ear.
"Little Chi, this is Song Yan. Strictly speaking, he is your big brother!"
Hearing this, Song Chi suddenly realized.
Song Yan, a name he was familiar with. In his generation, there were seven sequences, and he was the seventh sequence, Song Yan was the sixth sequence, and the first sequence, Song Yan, whom he had never met, was the first sequence of that generation.
Seeing the man's initiative in greeting him, and with no other ulterior motives in his tone, Song Chi had a good impression of him.
Without further thought, he took a step and sat in the empty seat next to him, and he also addressed him as "Big Brother."
With Song Chi's initiative, the relationship between the two quickly became more familiar.
At that moment, Song Shixing also sat down in the main seat and began the deliberation of the Hidden Vein.
He took the lead and said,
“With the presence of that Starry Sky Shark, I can fully relax and plan our next actions. Do you all have any suggestions?”
As Song Shixing brought up the topic, many in the hall offered various opinions.
Although their suggestions varied, they all agreed on one point: everyone actively proposed expanding outward and seizing all the resources discovered over the past two thousand years.
At that moment, Song Shixing waved his hand, and a special Floating Land Divination Map appeared on the communication bracelet on his left hand.
Song Chi's gaze swept across the map and noticed that its coverage wasn't extensive, just a hundred thousand square miles. However, it was extremely detailed, marking almost all valuable resource points within that range.
With just a glance, he spotted resources like obsidian ore veins, vibration gold ore veins, oak blood tree mountain ranges, small titanium crystal ore veins, and more.
As an Eighth-grade Floating Land, the Crimson Star Continent was incredibly rich in various resources. Even within a hundred thousand square miles, it still contained multiple resources of high value.
For example, titanium crystal ore veins and eternal stone brick ore veins.
However, this also indirectly proved that the family's Hidden Vein hadn't been hiding all this time and had never stopped exploring the surroundings.
As everyone in the hall focused their attention on the Divination Map projected above the deliberation table, Song Shixing continued, "Currently, the Starry Sky Shark on Little Chi's ship hasn't fully recovered, but it won't take too long. Before that, we must first establish a detailed plan for our next actions!"
