Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 515: Chapter 275: Guidance Technique Breakthrough to Third Rank – The Tri-Eye Race’s Flagship Armory

After suppressing the eager anticipation within, Song Chi returned his focus to exploration.

On the sixty-second day, a safe area around the second ancient corpse had been successfully established, and before long, the Cang Qiong managed to tow it into the ship’s cargo bay.

On the seventy-fifth day, the two teams of Soldier Figurines tasked with discovering new entry routes to the ship did not disappoint—they finally opened up an entirely new access route.

However, the result was utterly disappointing for Song Chi. Although this route successfully led to the interior of the super-giant flagship, it was merely a vast empty storage chamber that had nothing of value stored in it. It was so large that even Fifth Rank Level Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines couldn’t fully explore the chamber.

The closer they got to the direction of the storage room’s door, the more terrifying the pressure became. Astonishingly, Fifth Rank Level Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines could only venture to within two hundred meters of the door before they could go no further.

Over two months, only a worthless route had been discovered—how could Song Chi not be disappointed?

…

There was no other choice but to continue sending the two teams of Soldier Figurines to explore other routes.

On the ninety-third day, Song Chi didn’t engage in any exploration or safe zone establishment because it was time for another Ruins Market trade.

As usual, thousands of Alien Race members conducted their trades within the Ruins Market.

In the free trading area, as soon as the Ruins Market began, a Fire Elemental Life immediately sought out “Blue Blood Clan” Song Chi.

Their purpose was still to borrow a “Ruins Market Walking Rank”.

“This time I have a 4000-year-old firethorn fruit, and I only need it for half an hour. After half an hour, that 4000-year-old Firethorn Fruit, along with the Travel Command, will be promptly returned to your hands.”

Song Chi naturally agreed without hesitation and briskly tossed the “Ruins Market Walking Rank” to the other party.

Regardless of what the other party ultimately sought, he only needed to know that a 4000-year-old Firethorn Fruit was sure to bring his Guidance Technique up to a breakthrough at the Third Rank.

Half an hour later, the Fire Elemental Life did not let him down, indeed bringing him that 4000-year-old Firethorn Fruit.

…

After the Ruins Market trading concluded, Song Chi sat cross-legged atop the “Spectral Energy Cultivation Platform” inside the Cang Qiong, and without any hesitation, he swallowed the 4000-year-old Firethorn Fruit.

The effect this time was not as mild as before; Song Chi felt as though he had swallowed a mouthful of magma. An unbearable burning sensation started from his mouth, spread to his abdomen, and then turned his entire body into a small furnace. A massive amount of scorching heat emanated from within him, causing the temperature throughout the Cang Qiong to rise.

Enduring this uncomfortable sensation, Song Chi assumed the standard position for practicing the Guidance Technique and laboriously entered the practice of the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique.

Song Chi was well aware that this sensation was due to the extremely high age of the Firethorn Fruit.

The energy contained within a 4000-year-old Firethorn Fruit had long surpassed that of the Second Rank, and if he couldn’t quickly use this immense energy to advance his Guidance Technique to the Third Rank Level, this vast energy would provide no benefits to his body; on the contrary, it could potentially damage his cultivation foundation.

It was precisely because he understood this that he had to suppress the discomfort throughout his body and use this energy as quickly as possible to push for a breakthrough in his Guidance Technique Level.

Once he broke through, all of this would be resolved, and the immense energy would become a significant aid in his cultivation. It might even boost his Guidance Technique directly to levels 31, 32 in a short time, saving him a considerable amount of time.

Under the circular guidance of the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique, the magma-like scorching energy in his body began to flow through his limbs and bones. Gradually, Song Chi felt the bottleneck that had been stalling his progress loosen—this was the first time in more than half a year that he felt a breakthrough was imminent.

Sensing this, Song Chi’s resolve grew even firmer, and the circulating speed of the Spectral Energy within him accelerated further, continually driving the hot energy to flow through his body.

After some time, there seemed to be a faint “crack” in Song Chi’s ears, followed by a sudden surge in the storage of Spectral Energy within his body, reaching a new height.

Simultaneously, Spectral Energy surged throughout his body, with boundless dark energy circulating around him. A massive energy pressure instantly filled the Cang Qiong.

Besides, the previously magma-like energy within him now seemed to transform into merely lukewarm water, no longer causing unbearable burns to his body.

Song Chi knew that he had successfully broken through to level 30 of the Guidance Technique. With the breakthrough, every aspect of his being had improved, including his resistance to Alien Energy.

“Guidance Technique level 30; from this day on, I am also a genuine Starry Sea third-tier life form. Even if I make no further progress, I can roam the Starry Sea for six hundred years…”

Thinking of this, a profound excitement naturally appeared on Song Chi’s face, but he quickly composed himself.

“No, there’s still the final step of Life Sublimation. Only after undergoing the third Life Sublimation will I be considered a true Third Rank Life; furthermore, with this Life Sublimation, my spiritual consciousness will reach the point where I can perform nine tasks with one mind. Just need to absorb that drop of Fourth Rank Soul Cleansing Liquid, and I will transform into a genuine Divine Consciousness State Spirit…”

Suppressing the excitement within his heart, Song Chi quietly awaited the arrival of the third Life Sublimation.
