Chapter 770: Tianlang Hall Master—Song Chi
Chapter 770: Tianlang Hall Master—Song Chi
In the Xian Qin Divine Dynasty, on the Beidou Continent.
The Beidou Continent, the ancestral land of the Beidou Seven Star Hall—one of the top three major forces in the Divine Empire—had remained at the Eighth-Rank Peak for tens of thousands of years. However, after the end of the Civilization War a few hundred years ago, the continent officially ascended to the Ninth Rank two centuries ago, thanks to the large number of high-grade Floating Continent Source Cores extracted from the octopus demon star cluster.
Capitalizing on this Floating Continent Ascension, the Tianlang Hall Master successfully broke through to the hyperdimensional flagship level. As a result, this Hall Master, the most powerful in the Beidou Seven Star Hall, has been in seclusion, striving to break through his own Guidance Technique as soon as possible.
On this day, Song Chi appeared on the Beidou Floating Continent.
This was his first time setting foot on the ancestral land of the Beidou Seven Star Hall. In the past, with the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon civilization still around, the Beidou Seven Star Hall had always been on the front lines of the battlefield, leaving no opportunity for him to visit the Beidou Continent.
...
On the Beidou Continent, within the Star Pulse Dome, where the Beidou Seven Star Hall was located.
As Song Chi stepped into the grand hall, over a dozen figures were already waiting inside.
If outsiders were present, they would be greatly astonished upon seeing these figures.
Each of these dozen individuals radiated an Eighth-Rank life aura, clearly all Galactic Ship Lords.
At this moment, they all wore smiles, their gazes focused on Song Chi as he walked into the hall.
Clearly, this was a silent welcome.
Song Chi’s expression remained unchanged. He walked to the center of the hall with neither arrogance nor humility, then raised his hand in a salute and said:
“Newly ascended Galactic Ship Lord Song Chi, I greet all the Hall Masters and Stellar Sovereigns!”
This time, it was slightly different from before. He merely raised his hand in a symbolic gesture but did not bow as he used to.
The subtle change in his action was not lost on the few Galactic Ship Lords at the head of the hall, but they harbored no dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Having successfully ascended to Galactic Ship Lord, Song Chi was now undoubtedly a true high-ranking member of the Beidou Seven Star Hall, with a status equal to theirs.
“Haha, no need for such formality, Jingzhe... no, it’s more fitting to call you Qiongyu now. Since you’ve ascended to Galactic Ship Lord, you can address us as equals from now on!”
“Additionally, since you’re here on the Beidou Continent, it’s a good time to decide on your title.”
“Qiongyu, do you have any title in mind?”
...
Hearing this, Song Chi fell into a brief silence, quickly considering his options.
Through the introductions of the hall’s occupants, he had already grasped the specifics.
The Beidou Seven Star Hall has a tradition: whenever a new member ascends to Galactic Ship Lord, they choose a title with either “Hall Master” or “Stellar Sovereign” as the suffix.
The “Hall Master” suffix is limited to seven, each named after the seven stars of the Beidou constellation, such as Tigerwolf, Pohui, etc.
The “Stellar Sovereign” suffix, on the other hand, is not limited. All Galactic Ship Lords of the Beidou Seven Star Hall, except for the seven Hall Masters, use “Stellar Sovereign” as their suffix, like Tianhai Stellar Sovereign or Yin Yue Stellar Sovereign.
“Why not use Qiongyu as your name? How about Qiongyu Stellar Sovereign?”
Before Song Chi could respond, someone at the head of the hall offered a suggestion.
However, this suggestion was not well-received.
Breaker Hall Master, whom Song Chi had met once, shook his head and said:
“Qiongyu Stellar Sovereign is a good option, but I have another suggestion...”
“Tigerwolf’s flagship has already completed its ascension, and his Guidance Technique breaking through to the Ninth Rank is just a matter of time. When he emerges as a hyperspace admiral, he will be our Beidou Seven Star Hall’s Beidou Star Lord, which means the Tianlang Hall Master position is now vacant!”
...
“Pohui, you mean to say you want Qiongyu to take over as the new Tianlang Hall Master?”
Breaker Hall Master did not answer, but the expression on his face told everyone in the hall the answer.
For a moment, the dozen or so people in the hall had varied expressions.
Some agreed with the suggestion, but more were skeptical.
Regardless of the others, Song Chi’s own experience was the biggest shortcoming. How could anyone in the hall have joined the Beidou Seven Star Hall for a shorter time, let alone a fraction or a tenth of his tenure?
However, Breaker Hall Master remained resolute.
“Qiongyu has indeed been with the Star Hall for the shortest time, but his strength and potential are evident to all. Even though he has just ascended, I believe his flagship’s combat power is no weaker than that of more than half of us!”
Upon hearing this, the others in the hall, who had just begun to show skepticism, immediately reined in their expressions.
Rank 20 on the Ember Annihilation Stellar Charts, with a good chance of making it into the top ten—such data was indeed convincing.
While the others in the hall had once been considered prodigies and geniuses at the Annihilator-Class Warship Captain level, that was only relative. Not everyone had ever made it onto the Xian Qin Star Destroyer King List, let alone the Ember Annihilation Stellar Charts.
The hall fell silent for about a dozen seconds before Breaker Hall Master finally broke the silence.
“Since no one has spoken up, let’s hear from Qiongyu. Before your ascension to Galactic Ship Lord, were you certain you could break into the top ten of the Ember Annihilation Stellar Charts?”
Faced with this question, Song Chi did not need to think.
Two firm words came out of his mouth.
“Of course!”
From his almost immediate and unwavering response, everyone in the hall could tell it was genuine.
A few minutes later, Breaker Hall Master spoke again.
“If no one objects, it’s settled. From today onward, Qiongyu will be the new Tianlang Hall Master!”
...
After this, Song Chi finally remembered the purpose of his visit to the Beidou Seven Star Hall.
“Everyone, I recently received a mandatory conscription order from the Divine Empire...”
After he briefly explained the situation, smiles appeared on the faces of the few Hall Masters beside him.
It was Breaker Hall Master who spoke again.
“Sure enough, Qiongyu... Tigerwolf, you’ve also received a conscription order from the ancestral court. I knew it. With your combat power and a high-quality Ship Clone component, you couldn’t possibly be left out!”
Hearing this, Song Chi finally understood that, including himself, four of the seven Hall Masters had received the same conscription order.
With this knowledge, he had no reservations and directly stated his purpose.
“Three-Color Ascension Flame Core... Tigerwolf, this might be quite difficult.”
Upon hearing that he was here for the Three-Color Ascension Flame Core, everyone in the hall shook their heads in unison.
A Three-Color Ascension Flame Core is incredibly precious in the Ember Human Civilization’s domain. Even among the dozen or so people in the hall, more than half were still Black Ember Seeds, despite having ascended to Galactic Ship Lord for over ten thousand years.
This also highlighted the rarity and value of the Three-Color Ascension Flame Core.
Song Chi was not surprised by the reaction of the hall’s occupants. If it were easy to find, he wouldn’t have come to the Beidou Seven Star Hall.
Having already considered his options, he quickly added:
“Of course, if there are enough Time Source Crystals, that would also work!”
After the Miracle Cloning Chamber evolved, the Swallowing Sky Python Shed’s Mythic Shedding effect had entered a cooldown period of thirty thousand years. While it was a long time, it essentially amounted to 30 kilograms of Time Source Crystals. If he could obtain enough Time Source Crystals, the issue of the Three-Color Ascension Flame Core could be resolved.
Compared to the Three-Color Ascension Flame Core, Time Source Crystals were more common. Upon hearing Song Chi’s words, a few people in the hall showed a glint of interest in their eyes.
This did not escape Song Chi’s Double Pupil, and it gave him some reassurance.
Judging by their expressions, even if they didn’t have the Time Source Crystals on hand, they likely knew where to find them.
However, although their expressions varied, they all remained silent.
Understanding their meaning, Song Chi did not dawdle. His brow and palm flickered, and he produced a large number of items.
These included over a hundred rare items of silver quality or higher, most of which he had sorted from his storage bag.
Additionally, he had the last remaining Seventh-Rank Time Fruit, two Eighth-Rank Golden Apples, eight Sixth-Rank Time Fruits, twenty Seventh-Rank Golden Apples, and one hundred Ninth-Rank Sovereign True Spirits.
The eyes of the various Galactic Ship Lords in the Star Palace scanned over the items, each of them silently marveling.
Compared to Song Chi, they felt more like newly appointed Galactic Ship Lords.
After a brief moment of reflection, someone finally spoke up.
“A descendant of my clan is about to challenge the Annihilator Ship. Could I trade this 1kg of Time Source Crystal for a sixth-tier Time Fruit?”
“Of course!”
“I have 2kg, but I need an eighth-tier Golden Apple.”
…
Truly, these were all seasoned Galactic Ship Lords, as quite a few of them possessed a small amount of Time Source Crystal. In just a few minutes, Song Chi had completed several transactions.
Then, the Breaker Hall Master spoke up, directly taking out 5kg of Time Source Crystal. However, what he wanted to trade for was a seventh-tier Time Fruit.
In fact, if calculated strictly, a seventh-tier Time Fruit should be slightly more valuable. However, this person had shown him considerable goodwill from the start and was now offering such a substantial amount. Song Chi didn’t hesitate and immediately agreed.
With this 5kg added to the previous amount, Song Chi now had 13.5kg of Time Source Crystal, nearly half of what he needed.
But the Breaker Hall Master’s next words brought him another pleasant surprise.
“Tigerwolf, my clan still has some reserves of Time Source Crystal. Do you need more?”
Seeing Song Chi nod, the Breaker Hall Master explained in advance:
“If I remember correctly, there should be around 2kg left. However, I want to make a deal. I will gift you this 2kg of Time Source Crystal, but in return, Tigerwolf, you must give me first priority when your clan has surplus seventh-tier Time Fruits to sell.”
“Agreed!”
Song Chi agreed without much hesitation, taking less than ten seconds to consider. The other party’s request was entirely reasonable, merely asking for first priority in future sales of seventh-tier Time Fruits. If the deal was made, they would still receive a satisfactory reward, and both parties would be happy.
After receiving the additional 2kg of Time Source Crystal, Song Chi proceeded to the Yaoguang Star Tower using the same method.
Compared to the Beidou Seven Star Hall, the members of the Yaoguang Star Tower had significantly less energy, but it was still relative. In the end, he managed to trade for several kilograms of Time Source Crystal from the Stellar Tower Adepts.
With this, the amount of Time Source Crystal in Song Chi’s possession officially surpassed 20kg, leaving him only about 10kg short of reactivating the Mythic Shedding effect.
…
Dragon Spine Continent, Dragon Spine Ancestral Hall.
Several core members of the Song Family, either in their true forms or as star projections, gathered to discuss Song Chi’s issue in detail.
Song Shiyuan said, “Let’s start by using the fourth, fifth, and sixth-tier Time Fruits, along with various Ascension Flame Cores, as bait to fully acquire more from the Demon Serpent and Demon God Floating Continent Public Open Areas. As for Xiao Chi, you should focus on the Pantheon Market.”
“Didn’t we already establish a trading channel with the Wizard Civilization? Let’s focus on them. The Star Sea Sovereign Civilization’s resources are not to be underestimated.”
After Song Shiyuan finished, Song Yan added:
“I will immediately visit the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Civilization. They are currently in the midst of a Galactic Cluster expansion, and a lot of rare resources have surfaced recently. We might find some Time Source Crystal there!”
…
In a short time, the entire Dragon Spine Song Family was mobilized, with millions of clan members beginning a collective search for Time Source Crystal. This caused quite a stir in the surrounding galaxies.
With so many clan members working tirelessly, there would inevitably be a few lucky ones.
As time passed, the accumulation of Time Source Crystal in Song Chi’s possession, though slow, was steadily increasing.
Twenty years later, a super battleship over ten thousand kilometers long arrived above Azure Moon Manor.
Below, by the Azure Moon Lake, the Song Family’s direct lineage members looked up, quickly recognizing the identity of the massive battleship above.
“The Purple Moon Long Song. It’s Ancestor Ru.”
“Ancestor Ru has come to our base. Is she here to see Ancestor Chi?”
“Probably. Perhaps the clan has found another batch of Time Source Crystal, and Ancestor Ru is delivering it personally.”
“Speaking of which, what exactly is Ancestor Chi planning? This grand collection effort has been going on for over twenty years, hasn’t it?”
“Don’t ask, and don’t complain here. Since it’s Ancestor Chi’s order, follow it firmly. Without Ancestor Chi, where would our Dragon Spine Song Clan be today?”
…
In Azure Moon Manor, Song Chi’s private courtyard.
The moment Song Xingru arrived, Song Chi, who was in the Pantheon Market, immediately sensed her presence and appeared in the courtyard.
“Xiao Chi, catch this…”
Even after successfully becoming an Annihilator-Class Warship Captain, Song Xingru maintained her fiery temper. Busy with her Guidance Technique, she directly threw the Storage Capsule she was holding to Song Chi, then quickly rose into the sky, returning to the Purple Moon Long Song Annihilator Ship hovering above. She disappeared into the clouds in an instant.
Song Chi shook his head with a smile, not bothering to stop her, and quickly opened the Storage Capsule to take a look.
The next second, a visible look of joy appeared on his face.
Inside the Storage Capsule was Time Source Crystal, not much, less than 1kg, but combined with what had been acquired from the Pantheon Market and all the clan members over the past twenty years, it was enough to reactivate the Mythic Shedding effect of the Swallowing Sky Python Shed.
Half an hour later, in the Core Space of the Dragon Spine Continent.
With nearly 30kg of Time Source Crystal injected, the Swallowing Sky Python Shed once again emitted a dazzling multicolored light.
Once the Mythic Shedding effect was reactivated, Song Chi took out the black Ascension Flame Core he had prepared long ago.
With the experience from the previous two times, Song Chi’s speed was noticeably faster this time.
In less than ten minutes, the black Ascension Flame Core in his hand had transformed into a tricolor flame seed.
Afterward, Song Chi didn’t bother to return to Azure Moon Manor. He simply used the Annihilator Ship’s exclusive Flame Seed communication to inform the ancestors, then directly entered the Pantheon Market.
The time to gather at the Xianqin Continent was drawing near, and the Flame Seed’s evolution required a considerable amount of time to adjust its state. His time was truly running out.
In the Pantheon Market, the Omni-Attribute Cultivation Chamber.
Song Chi sat cross-legged, his Spiritual Energy continuously circulating through his body.
By continuously nourishing every cell in his body with Spiritual Energy, Song Chi was doing his best to adjust his state.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Song Chi’s tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open. Feeling that he was in his best condition, he decisively took out the tricolor Ascension Flame Core.
Spiritual Energy surged toward his third eye, and the Flame Seed Ancestral Aperture quickly opened.
A powerful suction force emanated from deep within the Ancestral Aperture, continuously pulling the tricolor Ascension Flame Core toward the aperture entrance.
A few seconds later, under the powerful suction force, the tricolor Ascension Flame Core was completely absorbed into the Ancestral Aperture.
The entry of the tricolor flame seed seemed to dye the entire Ancestral Aperture space with tricolor light. Deep within the Ancestral Aperture, the black ember seed continued to emit a powerful suction force under Song Chi’s full effort.
The tricolor flame seed continued to move deeper into the Ancestral Aperture.
Even though he had performed this operation multiple times over the past three thousand years, Song Chi still found it extremely challenging.
Compared to the previous times, the difficulty of pulling the tricolor Ascension Flame Core was much higher. Each inch closer required a significant amount of mental energy.
It was only because he had adjusted his state to the best possible condition in advance that he doubted he could complete the final fusion otherwise.
Time passed, and just as Song Chi’s mental energy was nearly depleted, the tricolor Ascension Flame Core finally made contact with the black ember seed.
At this point, the fusion and transformation of the flame seed and the Ascension Flame Core would proceed on its own, without requiring much more mental effort from him.
As the black light and tricolor light intertwined, a violent chemical reaction occurred, as if time had momentarily frozen. Then, the familiar black light weakened, while the tricolor light grew increasingly brilliant.
