Chapter 559: The Astonishing Effect of the Energy Tide
Chapter 559: The Astonishing Effect of the Energy Tide
At this moment, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. As Lord Rosetta Morningstar continued to display his usual dominance, a battle between the two Planet Destroyer warships seemed inevitable.
Of course, even if they were to engage in combat, the two would likely head to the Exo-Realm rather than foolishly fight here in the Anchored Star Domain. The judgment of the Flame Ancestral Shrine was not an empty threat.
Fortunately, the situation did not escalate in that direction. After surveying the Sea Tamer Dragon Soaring, whose captain had barely reached a distance of 12,000 kilometers, and the Tri-Eye Clan Sovereign Flagship above it, which was already poised to strike, Lord Rota Morningstar aboard the Morningstar Traverse ultimately chose to back down.
Even though Song Wujiang had not yet broken through to the Seventh Rank in Guiding Technique and could only be considered a quasi-Planet Destroyer captain, the Song Clan had already established its dominance with a Planet Destroyer warship and a Tri-Eye Clan Sovereign Flagship. This was a fact that he could not change under any circumstances.
Since that was the case, engaging in direct conflict with the other party was obviously not a good choice.
The Morningstar Kingdom's king, Lord Rota, suddenly changed his tone, his previous gloom transforming into gentleness.
"Wuxiang, what do you say to a deal between our two families?"
In the communication channel between the two Planet Destroyer warships, Song Wujiang did not respond. There was a clear hint of doubt in his eyes, as he was unsure what Lord Rota Morningstar was trying to say.
Lord Rota Morningstar did not beat around the bush. He spoke directly, "Your family's ancestral land and mine were almost simultaneously promoted to Sixth-Rank Floating Continents. For the Dragon Spine Continent to be promoted to the Seventh Rank within a few hundred years, there must be a high-quality special component that greatly accelerates the advancement of the Floating Continent, right?"
Song Wujiang did not refute this. The terrifying promotion speed of the Dragon Spine Continent was evident, and the outside world had already made speculations about it. Even if he denied it, it would be of no use.
Seeing that Song Wujiang did not refute, a glint of eagerness flashed in Lord Rota Morningstar's eyes, and he secretly thought, 'As expected.'
"The Song Clan must have such a heaven-defying component. I must borrow it. Only then can the Morningstar Dark Continent be promoted to the Seventh Rank at the fastest speed. As an Immortal Clan, not having a Seventh-Rank Floating Continent as our base is a significant disadvantage!"
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lord Rota Morningstar's gaze became resolute, and he spoke again, "My Morningstar Clan has a Heavenly Jade Spirit Spring, which can nurture Heavenly Jade Spirit Marrow. This resource can greatly accelerate the time it takes for a Sixth-Rank Guiding Technique to break through to the Seventh Rank. The reason I was able to break through to the Seventh Rank in just a hundred years was due to this."
"How about this: one portion of Heavenly Jade Spirit Marrow in exchange for a hundred years of use of the special component in your Song Clan's possession that accelerates the evolution of the Floating Continent?"
In the communication channel, Song Wujiang's projection fell silent.
The deal proposed by Lord Rota Morningstar did indeed tempt him. This Heavenly Jade Spirit Marrow could increase his chances of breaking through to the Seventh-Rank Guiding Technique in the next few decades. Although he had made preparations beforehand, there was no guarantee of success, and this Heavenly Jade Spirit Marrow would significantly improve his chances.
After a long silence, he ultimately chose to refuse.
"There's no need. My Song Clan has no intention of lending this component. Your Majesty, please take it back."
"Song Wujiang, are you sure about this? This portion of Heavenly Jade Spirit Marrow could save you at least a thousand years in the future..."
Lord Rota Morningstar was clearly unwilling to give up, but Song Wujiang's attitude was firm.
The Silver-quality Primordial Core Theft Device was of extraordinary value. It not only greatly promoted the advancement of the previous Sixth-Rank Dragon Spine Continent but also had the same effect on the current Dragon Spine Continent.
Moreover, the Song Clan currently had more than one Sixth-Rank Floating Continent under its command, and there would be many more places in the future where the Primordial Core Theft Device component would be needed. There was no room for any mishaps.
Although Lord Rota Morningstar was putting on a low profile at the moment, saying that he only wanted to borrow it for a hundred years, who knew if he had some special means to eventually make this component completely belong to the Morningstar Clan?
Not to mention any secret covenant-type component, the highest-level secret covenant component the Song Clan currently possessed was only Silver-quality. As long as the other party had a Golden-quality or even an extremely high-quality Silver-quality covenant-breaking component, this so-called guarantee could be broken at any time, making the risk too great.
Under Song Wujiang's firm attitude, the Morningstar Traverse had no choice but to leave, even if Lord Rota Morningstar was unwilling to accept it.
...
Dragon Spine Continent, Dragon Whale Hall.
The hall was shrouded in chaotic mist, with over two hundred Song Clan Deer Hunt Ship captains gathered.
Above the hall, the dome of the hall, adorned with countless shining stars, shone brightly. Song Wujiang, who had successfully promoted his ship, sat on a giant starry throne.
After the promotion of his ship to a Planet Destroyer, Song Wujiang, who was now considered a semi-Seventh Rank life form, received a new treatment from the Dragon Whale Hall. The throne beneath him was no longer a golden throne but a starry throne adorned with stars.
Under the starlight, the entire hall appeared even more solemn and majestic. At the head of the hall, the head of the Song Clan, Song Xuancang, was giving a detailed report on the Dragon Spine Continent's promotion to the Seventh Rank.
"Today, the Dragon Spine Continent successfully advanced to the Seventh-Rank Floating Continent. Thanks to the family's thorough preparations, the energy tide generated after the promotion of the Floating Continent has produced remarkable results."
"According to the various branches' statistics, more than 300,000 new generation clan members have successfully awakened the Flame Seed with the help of the energy tide. Among them, there is one with a red flame seed, eight with orange, and 75 with purple. This is twice the average number in recent centuries and nearly four times more than a few hundred years ago."
Upon hearing this, the Deer Hunt Ship captains in the hall all nodded in relief.
The energy tide of the Floating Continent not only promoted the advancement of the Flame Battleship but also had a certain bonus effect on the awakening of the Flame Seed.
With a family population of over 200 million, the average number of newborns participating in awakening each year was around 2 million. To have 300,000 people awaken at once, with a success rate of over 15%, was absolutely far beyond the reach of ordinary clans.
Especially with more than 80 people born with purple flame seeds, these would be the excellent seeds of the family in the future.
Song Xuancang did not pause and continued after reporting the situation of the awakened clan members, "Before the promotion of the Dragon Spine Continent, more than 200,000 Third-Rank Cruiser captains and below attempted to promote their ships. Among them, more than 70% succeeded. In just two to three days, the family has added 1,026 Cruiser captains, and the cumulative number of Cruiser captains has exceeded 5,000."
"Hiss!"
Even though they had mentally prepared themselves, the Deer Hunt Ship captains were still greatly astonished when they heard this number. In just a few days, over a thousand Cruiser captains were added, and the number of Third-Rank clan members exceeded 5,000. This data was simply astonishing.
In the past, the total number of Cruiser captains from both the direct and hidden branches did not even reach four digits. In just a few hundred years, it had increased six to sevenfold? Hearing this, the crowd became even more curious about the subsequent increase in Deer Hunt Ships. If they remembered correctly, more than a hundred Third-Rank clan members had attempted to break through to the Deer Hunt Ship level this time. It remained to be seen what the success rate would be.
Amidst the crowd's anticipation, Song Xuancang's voice resonated once more.
"This time, 125 of our clan members attempted to advance to the Deer Hunt Ship. As of today, we have successfully promoted 92 Deer Hunt Ships, achieving a success rate of three-quarters."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Dragon Whale Hall fell into a sudden silence, so quiet that a falling needle could be heard. Soon after, the heavy breathing of numerous Deer Hunt Fleet Captains gradually filled the air.
It was no wonder that everyone was excited because the number was 92, not 29. If Song Xuancang's words were accurate, it meant that from this point on, the number of Deer Hunt Fleet Captains in the Song Clan would officially surpass 300. For a newly advanced immortal clan, this was undoubtedly a qualitative change in strength.
Not to mention the other immortal clans with legacies spanning tens of thousands of years, but at least compared to the Morningstar Clan, whose legacy had already exceeded six thousand years, the Song Clan was now on equal footing in terms of strength.
In reality, the Song Clan's legacy had only been around for a little over three thousand years, merely half of the Morningstar Clan's, yet this Dragon Spine Continent promotion had forcefully leveled the strength gap.
This clearly demonstrated the profound impact of the Dragon Spine Continent's promotion.
Of course, for now, this was still just a theoretical notion. To completely erase this gap, they would have to wait for these 92 warship-promoted clan members to advance their Guiding Techniques to the fourth rank, becoming true Deer Hunt Fleet Captains.
However, this wasn't something to worry about too much. Before this, Song Chi had proactively provided dozens of eight-thousand-year-old Abyssal Pearls, all produced by the Azure Water Spirit Spring.
Additionally, the Supreme Star Grass from the hidden veins also had a fixed annual yield, ensuring that the clan wouldn't lack Supreme Body Forging Medicine in recent years. With the support of these two resources, it was believed that these clan members should be able to achieve breakthroughs in a short time.
High above the grand hall, Song Chi, seated on a golden throne, wore a smile, appearing to be in a good mood.
Among these 92 people were his father, mother, second uncle, and his wife, as well as others.
As for his great-uncle, Song Shan, and Song You, they had both advanced shortly after Song Ting's promotion to Deer Hunt Fleet Captain.
...
After reporting on the Deer Hunt Fleet Captains, Song Xuancang continued with the Battleship Captains.
"This time, only two clan members successfully advanced to Battleship Captains, the same as the Unmoving Bodhimanda: Song Xuanfeng and Song Mingsong."
The crowd burst into an uproar. Song Xuanfeng was somewhat expected, after all, he was a well-established clan elder who had lived for over a thousand years. But Song Mingsong's success was truly unexpected.
It was worth noting that Song Mingsong was barely over six hundred years old, and more importantly, he hadn't been very renowned before.
However, when they recalled that he was Song Chi's grandfather, everyone found it less surprising.
"Alright, this is the entirety of the Dragon Spine Continent's promotion results. It is indeed worthy of a grand celebration, but I must emphasize that the Great Civilization War is imminent. No clan member should become complacent because of this."
"While our Song Clan has the advantage, we must make every effort to acquire war resources. Whether it's the Cataclysm Continent, the Glorified Han Kingdom, the Silver Platter Galaxy, or even the Crimson Star Continent, those with the ability should strive to acquire them. Otherwise, once the four great empires officially release the news, the prices of various war resources will skyrocket. But remember, don't be hasty. For at least the next thirty years, we must avoid drawing attention from other forces. Do you understand?"
"We understand!"
"Your command!"
...
After a few minutes, only a handful of people remained in the Dragon Whale Hall.
Among them were Song Chi and Song Yan.
They hadn't stayed voluntarily but had received a transmission from the elder.
"Follow me!"
The chaos fog dissipated, and Song Wujiang led Song Chi and the others out of the Dragon Whale Hall.
"Are we going to the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm?"
Having entered the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm multiple times, Song Chi immediately recognized the elder's destination.
The three of them continued on their way, and after entering the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm, they walked for some time before finally stopping in front of a towering mountain range.
This mountain range wasn't the Dragon Whale Mountain, which housed the clan's Law Inheritance Steles, but a towering mountain range that Song Chi had never visited before.
This couldn't help but pique the curiosity of Song Chi and Song Yan.
It wasn't until they followed Song Wujiang step by step to the mountain peak that they realized what they were seeing.
At the summit of this towering mountain range stood a Mystic Realm Spirit Root.
The Spirit Root was a towering ancient tree, and among its branches and leaves hung several glowing fruits.
Looking up at those special fruits, a name suddenly flashed through Song Chi's mind.
"Nirvana Body Tempering Fruit?"
He recalled that during the expansion war against the Cataclysm Clan, the Progenitor had rapidly advanced to the sixth rank of Guiding Technique and arrived at the frontline as an official Unmoving Bodhimanda Captain. At that time, he had mentioned that he benefited from the Nirvana Body Tempering Fruit, which allowed him to break through so quickly.
This was why Song Chi subconsciously uttered those five words.
Hearing his words, Song Wujiang was slightly taken aback.
"Little Chi, do you know about our clan's Nirvana Body Tempering Tree?"
Song Chi immediately shook his head and quickly explained.
"It was that time. You have a good memory. Yes, this is indeed the Nirvana Body Tempering Tree, and those fruits are the Nirvana Body Tempering Fruits."
"The Nirvana Body Tempering Tree is a Mystic Realm resource of the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm. Its Nirvana Body Tempering Fruits can greatly assist Flame Battleship Captains in breaking through Guiding Techniques. Unfortunately, the Dragon Spine Mystic Realm is a primitive realm, with a rank limit of seven. It's extremely difficult to accelerate the realm, which results in an extremely slow production rate for the Nirvana Body Tempering Fruits."
Sighing, Song Wujiang shook his head and continued,
"Those three fruits over there are all three-thousand-year-old Nirvana Body Tempering Fruits, suitable for breaking through the sixth rank of Guiding Techniques."
With a wave of his hand, the spatial law at the completion stage transformed into a gentle breeze, and soon, two three-thousand-year-old Nirvana Body Tempering Fruits were plucked.
After Song Chi and the others received them, Song Wujiang waved his hand again, and the largest Nirvana Body Tempering Fruit on the Nirvana Body Tempering Tree was also plucked.
"This is an eight-thousand-year-old Nirvana Body Tempering Fruit. It also has a decent effect on breaking through the seventh rank of Guiding Techniques, but it's a pity it hasn't reached ten thousand years; otherwise, the effect would be even better."
Upon hearing this, Song Chi, who had been hesitating for a long time, finally spoke up, "Elder, I have a way to accelerate this Nirvana Body Tempering Tree without consuming high-level Void Crystals. However, it requires transplanting the Nirvana Body Tempering Tree!"
At his words, Song Wujiang and Song Yan's gazes shifted to Song Chi's face.
"Is it the method you used to continuously produce Silver Apples?"
