Chapter 561: The Golden Fire Seed Artifact
"Little Chi, if I'm not mistaken, you're barely over four hundred years old, right?"
In just a short decade, he had successfully broken through the sixth-rank Guiding Technique, officially becoming a true Dreadnought Captain. This was undoubtedly a piece of good news worth celebrating.
However, in Song Shiyuan's opinion, the best news wasn't this achievement but rather Song Chi's unusually young age.
At less than five hundred years old, compared to the longevity of a sixth-rank Dreadnought Captain, Song Chi had immense potential in the future. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he had a high chance of becoming a Planet Destroyer Captain.
Song Chi nodded and replied softly, "Yes, Grand Elder, I just turned 420 years old."
As they chatted, another person entered the hall from outside.
Under the powerful Heavy Pupil's power, Song Chi immediately recognized the newcomer, and his smile grew even brighter.
"Congratulations, Big Brother, on officially entering the sixth rank of the Starry Sea!"
Before the person even arrived, a faint laugh echoed through the chaos fog, responding to his voice.
"Congratulations!"
The newcomer was Song Yan, who had followed Song Chi and also broken through the sixth-rank Guiding Technique.
Moreover, Song Chi noticed a subtle difference. The shadow of the Heavy Pupil in his big brother's eyes seemed to exert a slight suppression on him.
"Big Brother, has Heavy Glow also broken through to the sixth rank?"
"Hahaha, I knew you'd see through it."
Song Yan emerged from the chaos fog, and like Song Chi, he exuded a strong sixth-rank life aura.
By Song Shiyuan's side, appreciation deepened in his eyes.
As one of the Song family's twin stars, Song Yan was not much older than Song Chi, barely 450 years old, and his potential was equally impressive.
However, Song Chi's gaze towards his big brother, Song Yan, was more focused on his eyes, which held the solidified shadow of the Heavy Pupil.
Previously, Song Yan had brought out a large and small pair of Heavy-Eyed Divine Birds from the Spirit Beast Realm. The adult bird was bound to Song Wujiang, while the smaller one was given to Song Yan, who named it Heavy Glow.
Over two hundred years, Heavy Glow had surprisingly reached the sixth rank before Heavy Feather.
Although this was somewhat unexpected, Song Chi didn't have any particular thoughts about it. Heavy Feather had already reached the peak of the fifth rank, and it wouldn't be long before it broke through to the sixth rank as well.
Moreover, Heavy Feather had its own advantages. It hadn't comprehended the realm's laws, so its potential remained intact. In contrast, Heavy Glow and Elder Song's Heavy Shadow were locked at the sixth rank and had no chance of breaking through to the seventh rank in their lifetimes.
Regarding this, Elder Song had long wanted to breed offspring for the three Heavy-Eyed Divine Birds but had never heard of any other Heavy-Eyed Divine Birds.
"Little Chi, catch this," Song Yan called out, and then he tossed an object towards Song Chi.
It was a crystal glowing with crimson light. The crystal's surface was still quite hot, and even with Song Chi's sixth-rank physique, it felt scorching to the touch.
Without waiting for Song Chi to ask, Song Yan explained, "This crystal is called the Flame God Crystal, and it contains an extremely strong fire-attributed life energy. It should help Heavy Feather's breakthrough."
Upon hearing this, Song Chi was delighted.
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
He didn't refuse and accepted the Flame God Crystal.
Whether Heavy Feather could break through to the sixth rank was crucial, as it would determine if Song Chi could receive the support of the sixth-rank Heavy Pupil in a short time. He had just experienced his sixth life ascension, and although it didn't bring the same qualitative law amplitude as when he advanced from the third to the fourth rank, there would be a minor law comprehension acceleration period in the following decade. If he could have the support of the sixth-rank Heavy Pupil during this period, it would significantly aid his subsequent comprehension of the three laws.
After a detailed conversation, Song Shiyuan suddenly spoke up, "Alright, it's likely that Elder Song will need two or three decades to break through. Before then, you two shouldn't waste this law comprehension acceleration period. Go back or enter the Dragon Backbone Mystic Realm to comprehend the laws!"
...
Song Chi and Song Yan had no objections to Elder Song's arrangement. After bidding farewell, they headed out of the hall together.
Just before leaving the hall, Song Chi asked Song Yan again, "Big Brother, what exactly did Elder Song mention before? Is it related to the place filled with extreme flame energy that you mentioned earlier?"
Previously, on the Crimson Star Continent, Song Yan had asked Song Chi about the restrictions on entering and exiting the Multiverse Bazaar. He wanted to explore the ancient ruins that even ordinary seventh-rank Sovereigns found challenging to enter through the Multiverse Bazaar. He felt that Elder Song's previous mention was related to this.
As expected, upon hearing him mention this, Song Yan nodded slightly.
"Yes, that flame ruin is indeed part of the ancient civilization inheritance I obtained back then."
Speaking of this, he paused, and in the end, he did not elaborate, but only mentioned that it was related to a special wonder. These words greatly shocked Song Chi.
"As for the specific situation of this ruin, you will find out later. I can only tell you that outside that flame ruin, I once saw the existence of a golden fire seed wonder!"
Hearing the words 'golden fire seed wonder', Song Chi's eyes lit up like electricity, especially bright.
After all, if it was indeed a golden fire seed wonder and could be transformed into a Flamefire Human civilization's Flame Seed upgrade fire source, it would be comparable to the black ultimate component within the Flamefire Human civilization.
The key is that he is truly in urgent need of a golden upgrade fire source.
However, this surge of emotion did not last long, and Song Chi soon regained his composure.
First of all, they couldn't be sure if they could delve into that flame ruin and obtain that golden fire seed wonder. Even if they did, it was uncertain if it could be transformed into a Flame Seed upgrade fire source.
Moreover, it's not just him who needs a golden upgrade fire source right now, but also the old ancestor and Song Yan.
Regaining his calm, the two quickly parted ways.
Before returning to the Azure Moon Estate, Song Chi first sent the Heavy Feather to a Sixth Rank Floating Land Origin eruption site on the Dragon Spine Continent. In such a place with a dense Floating Land Origin, the Heavy Feather's breakthrough chances would be greater.
After handing over the Flame God Crystal to the Heavy Feather and summoning a six-star ancient demon to guard it, he finally returned to the Azure Moon Estate.
...
In the Multiverse Bazaar, high above the sky.
The 160,000-meter-long Heaven Ruin Skydome hovered quietly, and in the battleship's control room, a virtual golden throne appeared. Song Chi sat on it, propped up by the Pseudo Enlightenment Cushion, and his eyes revealed a shadow of heavy pupils, staring intently at a trace of the time law in front of the battleship.
With multiple enhancements and the Time Chessboard's 440% insight bonus to the time law within the battleship, Song Chi's understanding of the time law was visibly increasing at a rapid pace.
Two years later, without moving an inch, Song Chi's eyes shone with extreme brilliance, and the shadow of the heavy pupils in his eyes became increasingly solid.
"The Heavy Feather has broken through, and the Sixth Rank Heavy Pupils are indeed more formidable!"
Although his body didn't move, Song Chi immediately understood the reason.
Without further thought, he continued to comprehend the law.
In the third year, his understanding of the time law officially broke through 50%.
In the seventh year, his understanding of the time law reached 52%.
It was also this year that he stopped comprehending the time law and switched to the space law.
In the eighth year, his understanding of the space law, which was already close to completion, officially broke through 70%.
In the first half of the tenth year, his understanding of the space law reached 71%.
After that, he spent the last half a year comprehending the light law.
Finally, his understanding of the light law remained at 69.99%.
For some unknown reason, he couldn't enter the completion stage.
Because of this, in the last month of the accelerated period of law comprehension, Song Chi made a trip to the Shining Star Tower.
He used up the opportunity to comprehend the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale.
With this, he successfully brought his understanding of the light law into the completion stage.
With this, the ten-year seclusion task was basically complete.
...
In the Multiverse Bazaar, inside the control room of the Heaven Ruin Skydome.
Song Chi directly enhanced the newly installed Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale component to level 70.
After that, he also installed the golden Blood War Monument and the Heaven Frost Crown components on the battleship, but he did not enhance them. He needed to test them first.
In theory, the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale should be enough to withstand the investigation from the Shang family, but theory is still just theory, and the actual situation needs to be seen through practical testing.
Taking a deep breath, Song Chi stored the Heaven Ruin Skydome in the Flame Ancestral Shrine and then withdrew from the Bazaar.
Of course, he didn't return to the Dragon Spine Continent but went to the Holy Light City in the Crimson Star Continent. He wasn't that foolish.
If he really returned to the Dragon Spine Continent for testing and failed, the Song Family might be directly exposed to the Shang family. At this moment, they had just entered the immortal clans, and they couldn't afford to provoke the Shang family, a giant with over 200,000 years of heritage.
...
In the Holy Light City, at the Tai Bai Shop.
The underground battleship summoning room.
It had been five years since he came to the Crimson Star Continent after the end of the law comprehension acceleration period.
During these five years, the Shang family did not conduct any investigations, allowing Song Chi to wait patiently.
This day, as usual, Song Chi was preparing to enter the Void Market for cultivation. However, before he could even leave the warship, a faint spatial fluctuation suddenly emerged above him.
Looking up, through the warship's holographic exterior view, he saw a mirror light chain shooting out from the void, encircled with ancient runes, directly aimed at the Heaven Ruin Skydome, moving too fast for any reaction.
Fortunately, the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale component, which was pre-installed, was even faster. Just as this mirror light chain was about to penetrate the warship's three-layer energy shield, firmly linking with the warship's body, the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale component's surface glowed brightly with golden light.
With this golden light's blessing, a phantom of a giant python seemed to appear on the surface of the Heaven Ruin Skydome, and upon contact with this phantom, the mirror light chain was instantly dissolved, unable to touch the warship's body.
"Success!"
Witnessing this, Song Chi naturally understood that the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale component had successfully blocked the Shang family's tracking.
However, he didn't think this was enough. He re-stored the warship into the Flame Ancestral Shrine, and his figure disappeared in the underground warship summoning room.
In the Multiverse Bazaar, Song Chi once again exited the Void Market.
This time, he still didn't return to the Dragon Spine Continent but instead went to the spatial anchor point he had left on the Silver Platter Floating Land.
Silver Platter Floating Land, Silver Plate City, Tai Bai Shop.
In the underground warship summoning room, Song Chi continued the operation he had done in the Crimson Star Continent, summoning the warship and waiting for the Shang family's next remote search.
Although he had successfully blocked the Shang family's tracking in Holy Light City, the Crimson Star Continent, where Holy Light City was located, was still over 120 billion light-years away from the Flamefire Humans' civilization domain. During this time, the Shang family's mythical tracking methods might have suffered significant losses, and the results might not be accurate.
That's why Song Chi wanted to conduct a second test.
Fortunately, this time he didn't have to wait long, as the Shang family's next tracking attempt came quickly.
Inside the Heaven Ruin Skydome, the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale was once again triggered first, and the giant python phantom appeared on the warship's surface once more.
In the warship's control room, Song Chi watched tensely through his spiritual body, praying in his heart.
It was clear that this time, the giant python phantom on the warship's exterior was significantly dimmer, having consumed a lot of energy in the process of resisting the mirror light chain.
However, this wasn't crucial. What mattered was that the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale had held out in the end, which meant that as long as the Shang family's mythical tracking component didn't undergo too many changes, he would be able to freely load the golden Blood War Monument and Heaven Frost Crown components in the future.
"I hope the Shang family won't suddenly strengthen that mirror-type component..."
Song Chi muttered, narrowing his eyes.
Although this was a potential problem, if he could strengthen the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale to the eighth rank first, then none of this would be an issue.
His figure reappeared in the warship's control room, and his gaze fell on the two new golden components.
Finally, he spent a considerable amount of titanium crystals and related resources, including two Sovereign True Spirits, to enhance these two components to level 70.
After reaching the seventh rank, the attributes of the two components changed significantly. Previously, the Mythical Python's Perpetual Shelter Scale, due to having only one unique characteristic, had almost no attribute changes, but these two components were different.
First, the golden Blood War Monument had notable changes in the attributes of its several characteristics.
{Blood-Colored Revelry: For every unit of blood of the same rank that the warship bathes in, its firepower will permanently increase by 30%, lasting for 30 minutes, and can be stacked up to 20 times.}
{War Inspiration: Consume 200,000 Shadow Energy Points to put a designated unit into a state of boiling battle intent, temporarily increasing its combat power by 300%, lasting for 60 minutes, with a cooldown time of 36 hours.}
As for the Heaven Frost Crown, its attributes for Ice Law comprehension and ice resistance need no further explanation. Song Chi mainly focused on its 'Frosty Shackles' characteristic.
{Frosty Shackles: Consume 200,000 Shadow Energy Points, the Heaven Frost Crown unleashes its frost power, freezing the designated target for 9 seconds, with a cooldown time of 6 hours.}
Its single-target freeze can now control enemy units for up to 9 seconds, which, although not as overpowering as the 'Meditation Seal · External Time Stop' characteristic, has a short cooldown time of 6 hours. If you add the Time Chessboard's 70% cooldown reduction, it's less than two hours of cooldown, which is incredibly advantageous.
