Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 524: Chapter 279: [Ningkong Tower] · 50 Years · First Ancestor of the Song Family_2

“`

“Agreed!”

…

Within the main control room of the Cang Qiong, Song Chi answered the communication from the family head.

“Chi, do you want to continue staying here, or return to the Dragon Spine Continent?”

Song Chi was startled at first, but he soon understood what it meant and after some thought, he nodded and said,

…

“I can’t participate in the follow-up here; I should go back to the Dragon Spine Continent!”

Clearly, Song Xuancang had seen that his Guidance Technique had broken through to the Third Rank, and yet despite the breakthrough, his Spiritual Force still remained in the Ordinary Thought State. There could only be one result: he had not yet absorbed the Fourth Rank Soul Cleansing Liquid, which was why Song Xuancang would proactively ask if he wanted to return to the Dragon Spine Continent.

Having understood this, Song Chi made the choice that was most advantageous for himself.

To continue staying here would only mean watching other clansmen explore the super-giant flagship. Rather than that, it would be better to return to the Dragon Spine Continent and absorb that Fourth Rank Soul Cleansing Liquid, transforming his spirit completely into the Divine Consciousness State.

“Patriarch, once I absorb the Fourth Rank Soul Cleansing Liquid and achieve the Divine Consciousness State Spirit, those subsequent Inherited Secret Techniques, Law Comprehension, and such…”

Previously, the Prime Ancestor had personally stated that the exploration of this expanse of the stars might continue for 50 years, but Song Chi naturally wouldn’t need so long to breakthrough to the Divine Consciousness State Spirit. He had to think ahead about these matters.

Song Xuancang replied with a smile,

“Don’t worry about that. My projection avatar is still with the clan. Once you transform into the Divine Consciousness State Spirit, you can directly go to the Ancestral Hall, and at that time, my projection avatar will naturally take you to the Dragon Spine Secret Realm.”

With that response, Song Chi had no further questions. He directly controlled the Cang Qiong to turn the ship around and returned to the inner core space of the giant asteroid.

There, the Third Rank mid-transfer warship had long been waiting for him. Aside from two cruisers, there were also many Second and Third Rank clansmen within the mid-transfer warship; they were responsible for the inter-domain transfers between the two Star Domains in the future, and had earlier summoned their warships and laid down Space Beacons within this asteroid belt.

Once again, a light band for integration shot out from the Cang Qiong, and after the integration was complete, both cruisers simultaneously activated the warship’s automatic return function.

You heard that right, during the exploration of the Alien Star Domain, it wasn’t just upon the approach of the 24-hour mark that one could passively return; one could also choose to return actively beforehand. However, Torch Warships usually wouldn’t use this function, given that the exploration time of 24 hours was already quite brief—who would choose to return actively?

As for those encountering danger, the Charge time required for active return was very long, making it unlikely they would survive long enough for the function to take effect before the Torch Warship had already sunk.

A quarter of an hour later, intense spatial fluctuations spread out around the two Torch Warships, and then both of them vanished simultaneously from the inner core space of the asteroid.

Above the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, the two Torch Warships soon separated. The Cang Qiong darted towards Green Moon Manor for a warp jump, while the other cruiser hung silently in the air.

Afterward, a Third Rank Torch Captain leaped out from the hatch of the warship and also summoned his own flagship.

With the appearance of this cruiser, the previous cruiser then started descending towards the ground below with a dozen or so clansmen, leaving only the second cruiser to float in silence, as if anticipating something.

The Song Family, Dragon Spine Secret Realm.

Song Xuancang’s projection avatar swept across the land, finally stopping beneath a vast mountain range.

If Song Chi had been there, he would have recognized that this mountain range was the one he had seen previously—it resembled an ancient mountain range shaped like a prone Dragon Whale.

Upon reaching the ground, Song Xuancang’s projection avatar strode toward the upper part of the mountain range.

Yes, he chose not to fly but to climb step by step towards the top of the mountain range.

It was hard to say how much time passed, but when there was still some distance left to the mountain’s peak, the projection avatar came to a halt. Not far in front of him on an elevated stone of blood, an unadorned figure was sitting cross-legged.

This figure sat quietly, yet seemed as if integrated with the entire mountain beneath, with threads and streams of mysterious forces coursing over its body intermittently. The blend of ordinary and mystical auras was continuously intertwining over the body.

Behind this figure, Song Xuancang’s projection avatar was full of reverence. He didn’t get a chance to speak, as a calm voice had already reached his ears first.

“Xuancang, is there something you need?”

Song Xuancang bowed.

“`

“`

“Prime Ancestor, it’s like this…”

Just as he respectfully finished describing the situation, the figure before him, known as the Prime Ancestor, had vanished silently at some point, and when the voice reached Song Xuancang’s ears again, it was already by his side.

“A Seventh Rank warship from the Tri-Eyed Royal Family? Seventh Rank Life Pressure? After just a few hundred years of seclusion, has our family really found such a level of opportunity?”

Song Xuancang’s heart grew cold as he silently said that the Prime Ancestor’s comprehension of the Space Law must have climbed another step. As someone who also followed the path of Space Law, he hadn’t detected even the slightest hint in advance.

Although at the moment he was just a projected incarnation, it was nonetheless terrifying.

Without daring to think further, Song Xuancang continued:

“It was a junior from the newly opened Tenth Direct Vein of our family who discovered it, and not long ago, he also turned in an exceptionally remarkable silver component to the family!”

“For you to use the term ‘exceptionally remarkable,’ it must not be bad. What about the attribute screenshot?”

After viewing the attribute chart displayed by Song Xuancang, the voice by his side spoke up again.

“Not bad, not bad at all. If it can be enhanced to Sixth or even Seventh Rank, it might even be of some assistance to my flagship in the future. The contribution is significant, remember not to shortchange the young one below.”

“Let’s go, flagship of the Tri-Eyed Royal Family. If we can really obtain a good harvest, my Dinghai Song Family might one day have the chance to glimpse the threshold of those immortal clans!”

Of course, Song Chi was unaware of everything happening in the Dragon Spine Secret Realm. After returning home, he first greeted his father and mother and then directly entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

In the free stall area of the Ruins Market, Song Chi sat quietly on the ground, holding a porcelain bottle containing Fourth Rank level Soul Cleansing Liquid.

Looking at the drop of Soul Cleansing Liquid that he had exchanged for with fifteen Divine Tempering Fruits, a determined look flashed in Song Chi’s eyes.

This time, he was determined to push through in one go and reach the state of Divine Thought Heart Power.

However, before using the drop of Soul Cleansing Liquid, he turned and activated the Limit-breaking State.

Currently, his Spiritual Force was at the level of managing nine thoughts with one mind. By activating the Limit-breaking State, he could just about step into the level of Tenfold Mind Utilization.

His idea was simple; although the Divine Consciousness State transformed in this manner could not last long, it would allow him to experience the power of Divine Thought Heart Power in advance, increasing his success rate in later using that drop of Soul Cleansing Liquid to truly transform into the Divine Thought State.

With the activation of the Limit-breaking State, Song Chi felt as if he had an additional thought, and under the guidance of these ten thoughts, his Spiritual Force suddenly seemed catalyzed by an unknown energy, wildly surging within his mind.

Song Chi could feel that his Spiritual Force was undergoing a major transformation, from intangible to tangible; a massive amount of Spiritual Force continuously fused together and through this process, the originally intangible Spiritual Force rapidly solidified.

It was during this ongoing fusion and solidification process that, once he broke through a certain limit, Song Chi discovered his Spiritual Force had startlingly begun to pour out of his mind.

Countless fine threads formed by his Spiritual Force extended outward, and the Third Rank Soul Cores he had intentionally stacked by his side began to float in mid-air, a feat only achievable by the Divine Consciousness State Spirit through Mind-controlling Objects.

Beyond that, Song Chi could now perceive those subtle and profound forces around him – the Laws inherent in the Ruins Market Secret Realm that he couldn’t sense before were now apparent under the Divine Consciousness State Spirit.

Song Chi even had an intuition that if he were to take out several Law Crystals now, he would be able to initially comprehend the Origin Laws within them.

However, before he could do so, an intense wave of fatigue had already invaded his mind, a sign that the Limit-breaking State had reached its limit.

Helplessly, he had to exit the state.

And as he exited the Limit-breaking State, the Divine Consciousness State Spirit that had transformed previously receded like a tide.

This feeling gave him a sense of inexplicable loss, but it was soon completely enveloped by intense fatigue.

Song Chi didn’t think too much about it and entered a deep sleep right there, knowing that only with sufficient rest could he later begin to absorb that drop of Fourth Rank Soul Cleansing Liquid.

While he was in deep sleep, in the ancient stellar battlefield far away,

as a Torch Warship measuring a hundred thousand meters long appeared, the clan elders of the Song Family said in unison:

“We welcome the Prime Ancestor!”
