Chapter 583: 【Flame Ancestral Courtyard】
Chapter 583: 【Flame Ancestral Courtyard】
To be honest, Song Chi and Song Yan had been through quite a rollercoaster of emotions recently.
First, they witnessed the Level 8 Floating Land, the 【Dongli Floating Land】, and then the Level 8 Peak 【Dongjiang Floating Land】. Just as they were starting to calm down, the nearly Level 9 Peak 【Immortal Qin Continent】 appeared.
However, there was a silver lining to all this; at least it made them realize that their family's heritage was still far from sufficient. In the face of the truly powerful factions in the Shattered Star Sea, the Dragon Spine Continent, which had just entered Level 7, was hardly worth mentioning.
This recent series of events helped to stabilize their somewhat restless minds.
Of course, it wasn't entirely their fault.
Over a decade ago, they had obtained two strands of Golden Advancement Flame Source, two Black Ultimate Components, and multiple Golden Components from the ancient Flame God Clan civilization ruins.
This time, through a seemingly cheating operation in the 【Celestial Intestine】, they had acquired two Black Ultimate quality artifacts and several Golden Holy Domain artifacts, including the 【Time Crown Pseudo】 component offered by the Bone-Cracking Luo Clan.
All of this indicated that the Song Clan had been incredibly fortunate in recent times, which was bound to make anyone feel a little overconfident.
Witnessing the grandeur of multiple super-level Floating Lands in the Star Sea one after another had helped to temper their agitated minds, which was a good thing.
As they emerged from the teleportation station, the three members of the Song Clan were still in awe of the Immortal Qin Continent. The Immortal Qin Dragon Ban Fleet, which had been stationed outside the continent for years, immediately dispatched two Dreadnoughts.
Even though these were just ordinary Dreadnoughts in the fleet, the Song Clan members cooperated fully when faced with the renowned Immortal Qin Royal Fleet.
This was not the Level 6 Resource Floating Land under the Dongli Imperial Mansion, but the Dragon Spine Continent, one of the four great empires of the Flame Human River System Cluster.
The Immortal Qin Dragon Ban Fleet was a famous ace fleet of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, with a scale of only 100,000 ships. However, the weakest member of the fleet was a Hunting Ship, and the highest commander was a powerful Star River Fleet Admiral from the Immortal Qin Royal Clan. It was said that he had once confronted an Eight-Armed Snake Demon Emperor of the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization, and the casualties were not significant.
"Are you the members of the 【Morning Star Kingdom · Dragon Spine Song Clan】 who applied to visit the 【Flame Ancestral Courtyard】?"
"Yes!"
Upon receiving confirmation from the Song Clan, the two Dragon Ban Fleet Dreadnoughts began leading the three ships towards the continent below.
As they flew downwards, they could see numerous Annihilator Ships patrolling the skies from time to time.
This was the Immortal Qin Continent, and every day, countless Flame Warships from outside entered the continent. Maintaining order under such circumstances was no easy task.
Song Chi even speculated that there might be a Star River Fleet stationed secretly.
...
As they traveled, Song Chi and Song Yan couldn't help but observe everything on this Level 9 Floating Land.
Unfortunately, they were not allowed to fly freely above this Floating Land. If they were discovered, they might be shot down by the patrolling Annihilator Ships.
There was no other way around it. Countless warships traveled to and from the Immortal Qin Continent daily. If these ships were allowed to fly randomly, chaos would have ensued long ago.
The Flame Ancestral Courtyard was located in the central region of the Immortal Qin Continent, standing within the Immortal Qin Dragon Capital City.
The moment Song Chi caught a glimpse of the outline of the 【Immortal Qin Dragon Capital City】 from afar, his mind immediately recalled the 【Crimson Star Hyperdimensional Continent】's 【Holy Light City】. Before this, the city built by the Eight-Rank Peak Angel King was undoubtedly the most majestic city he had seen in over 400 years.
However, even so, when comparing the two cities, the 【Holy Light City】 was instantly overshadowed.
The entry requirements for the 【Immortal Qin Dragon Capital City】 were extremely strict. It was said that only members of the Immortal Qin Royal Clan could enter this city, which resembled the Celestial Capital, and even then, they needed a powerful background. Furthermore, the entry fees were exorbitant.
Fortunately, with the guidance of the Dragon Ban Fleet members, the three members of the Song Clan entered the city with ease.
Ignoring the curious gaze on Song Yan's face, the two Dragon Ban Fleet members led them straight to the 【Flame Ancestral Courtyard】 within the city.
Due to the status of the 【Flame Ancestral Courtyard】, it was located in the most prosperous area of the city. The most eye-catching sight was the two Sovereign-level Archangels with twelve wings standing outside the courtyard gates. These Archangels, who appeared holy, mysterious, and powerful to outsiders, were merely the gatekeepers of the 【Flame Ancestral Courtyard】. This alone was enough to demonstrate the courtyard's importance.
The two Dragon Ban Fleet members escorted the three into the Ancestral Courtyard Hall but did not stay long, quickly departing.
Before leaving, they reminded them:
"After successfully completing the Ancestral Courtyard certification, please remember to leave the Immortal Qin Continent within one day. Your entry this time is special, and you do not have the permission to stay. In the future, you can only stay in the Immortal Qin Continent by applying for it!"
...
The certification process at the Flame Ancestral Courtyard was much simpler than they had imagined. The three waited for less than half an hour before Elder Song was called into the inner hall, and in less than two minutes, he emerged again.
"Elder Song, is that it?"
Facing their confusion, Song Wujiang patiently explained:
"The certification of the Flame Ancestral Courtyard is simply the addition of an official label to your personal Flame Network account, as well as the opening of some special permissions belonging to the Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral."
"Permission?"
At the mention of these two words, the two of them became instantly intrigued.
"Elder, could you be more specific?"
"It's simple. Personal confidentiality permissions are further enhanced, expanding the reach of the Flame Local Network. Additionally, the Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral can directly communicate with the Flame Ancestral Courtyard through the Flame Local Network."
After this, Song Wujiang proceeded to explain in detail.
There was no need to elaborate on the personal confidentiality permissions. At the level of a Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral, the Flame Local Network of the kingdom had no authority to access the admiral's various data, chat records, and the like. Only the Flame Ancestral Courtyard of the empire possessed such authority.
As for the scope of the Flame Local Network for the Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral, it expanded to an entire river system. In other words, as long as they were in the same river system and had received official certification, all Star Annihilator Fleet Admirals could freely communicate through the Flame Network.
The ability of the Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral to directly contact their affiliated Flame Ancestral Courtyard was primarily based on security considerations for the Flame Human Civilization.
At the level of a Star Annihilator Fleet Admiral, they undoubtedly belonged to the top-tier combat power of the Flame Human Civilization. If such an existence discovered an extremely challenging anomaly, it would often be catastrophic. In such situations, direct contact with the Flame Ancestral Courtyard could ensure that the courtyard was well-prepared in advance, which was closely tied to the safety of the entire Flame Human Civilization.
...
"Elder, since we can stay for a day, why don't we take a stroll around the Immortal Qin Dragon Capital City?"
"Good idea!"
Song Yan's suggestion immediately received unanimous approval from Song Wujiang and Song Chi.
After all, this was the ancestral land of the Immortal Qin Dynasty, and the Immortal Qin Dragon Capital City was the heart of the Immortal Qin Floating Land. Those who could open shops here must have a formidable background, and as a result, the city was bound to have countless treasures beyond imagination.
They agreed to meet at the city gate in a few hours, and then the three of them went their separate ways.
Song Chi's pace was not fast as he walked through a corner of the central street.
His expression seemed calm, but his heart was stirred with considerable turmoil.
He was hesitating about setting up a spatial anchor point in the Immortal Qin Dragon Capital City.
Song Chi had witnessed the scale of transactions in the city, and if he could establish a spatial anchor point here, it would be immensely beneficial to link it with the Multiverse Bazaar for mutual utilization.
However, after much deliberation, he shook his head and dismissed the idea.
It wasn't that he didn't want to or didn't trust the power of the Multiverse Bazaar.
Rather, he didn't trust himself.
This was one of the most critical regions of the entire Flame Human Civilization, and the level of surveillance was unimaginable. Even if the Multiverse Bazaar could handle it, once he left the bazaar, he was just a sixth-rank fleet admiral. There were far too many people in the Immortal Qin Dragon Capital City who could control him.
Furthermore, even if he could enter and exit the city with the help of the Multiverse Bazaar and evade the various surveillance of the Ying Clan of the Heavenly Pillar Royal Clan, he had no identity in this city.
Without an identity, he couldn't rent a shop, and without his own shop, how could he use it to sell resources obtained from the bazaar's transactions? If he only wanted to purchase various resources from there, there was no need to take such a huge risk, one that Song Chi believed he couldn't afford.
Based on his assessment of the Ying Clan of the Heavenly Pillar Royal Clan, the Immortal Qin Dragon Capital City must have colored mythical-grade surveillance artifacts monitoring everything, otherwise, it would be impossible for such a vast city to maintain absolute order for tens of thousands of years.
It was worth noting that this city housed hundreds of millions of humans.
Since he had already abandoned the idea of setting up a spatial anchor point in the city, Song Chi didn't think about it further.
He continued wandering through the city, searching for items he needed.
Soon, he stopped in front of a shop called the Jinwang Commercial Building.
"Excuse me, how much is that neutron star remnant?" Song Chi asked the shop attendant softly.
The attendant appeared delicate, but Song Chi sensed the energy fluctuations of third-rank guiding technique from her. Not only her, but all the hundreds of attendants in the Jinwang Commercial Building possessed such abilities. He even detected fourth-rank life energy fluctuations from several attendants who seemed to hold higher positions.
All he could do was marvel at the grandness of the empire's upper echelon. It was worth noting that the entire Song Clan currently had only a few thousand third-rank Flame Fleet Admirals, yet in this single commercial building, hundreds of attendants were of such a high caliber.
"Sir, this neutron star remnant is priced at one strand of seventh-rank Floating Land Essence."
The price was slightly on the expensive side, but Song Chi didn't hesitate and purchased the neutron star remnant.
At that moment, the miniature version of the Heaven Ruin Skydome in his forehead was trembling violently, expressing the desire of the Neutron Star Core Armor, which had evolved to golden quality.
