Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 643: Chapter 339: Obtaining the Red Upgrade Fire Source and the Qingtian Tribe

After much consideration, Song Chi ultimately decided to pause the exploration of fragments from the Immortal Realm Continent.

The reason was simple.

Only one year remained until the ten-yearly opening of the “Big Dipper Hall – Shaking Light Star Rank”, which he held. Such a short span was likely insufficient to discover anything significant in those fragments. Worse, unpredictable circumstances during the activation of the “Shaking Light Star Rank” might delay him and cause him to miss this opportunity that came once every decade.

Rather than taking such a risk, he preferred to set the exploration aside. After all, nearly two hundred years still lay ahead for him to explore at his leisure.

…

Zhu Tian Ruins Market, All-Attributes Cultivation Room.

…

After this period of accumulation, the level of the market itself had reached lv36, and naturally, the All-Attributes Cultivation Room had as well.

Additionally, ever since obtaining several aged Deep Sea Clam Pearls from the North Sea Naga Clan, Song Chi’s progress in practicing the Guidance Technique had been astonishing.

In this period, 5 clam pearls, each three thousand years old, had been used up in conjunction with top-tier body tempering potions. This accelerated his Guidance Technique from lv32 to lv34 in just two years, a journey that could take other cruiser captains decades. The speed was undeniably swift.

Yet, Song Chi was still not satisfied. His Guidance Technique had only recently broken through to lv34, and reaching the peak of lv34 under normal training conditions would take several years, not to mention breaking through the bottleneck to reach lv35.

“After two months of digestion, the effects of the most recent three-thousand-year-old Deep Sea Clam Pearl on my Guidance Technique are nearly assimilated. It’s time to use the five-thousand-year-old clam pearl…”

Muttering to himself, Song Chi now held a translucent Deep Sea Clam Pearl in his hand—one of only two five-thousand-year-old pearls he possessed.

He then took out a vial of top-tier body tempering potion, carefully crushed the five-thousand-year-old clam pearl into powder, and mixed all of the powder into the potion. Without hesitation, he swallowed it down.

A month later, a strong surge of Spectral Energy fluctuated within the All-Attributes Cultivation Room.

With the medicinal effects of that five-thousand-year-old Deep Sea Clam Pearl, Song Chi’s Guidance Technique successfully broke through from the early stages of lv34 to lv35, and he was only a step away from lv36.

Several days later, once he was somewhat accustomed to his drastically enhanced physical condition, a Thorned Flying Dragon from the outer world reached out to him through mind sound transmission.

Song Yufeng from the Capital Star Domain had sent a new batch of Starry Sea Oddities via the family’s transport fleet.

It had been only a little over half a year since Song Chi returned to the Dragon Spine Continent, and he was not very hopeful about these new oddities.

Upon exiting the Ruins Market and thanking the escort ship that personally delivered the items, he watched their flattered departure. Then, Song Chi casually inspected the collection of Starry Sea Oddities in his storage capsule.

Due to Elon increasing the monthly supply of Storage Capsules, not only had the number of internal users within the Song Family significantly risen but also among their external staff. In addition, these Storage Capsules had gradually begun to spread throughout the entire Duchy Market, proving to be a highly popular product of the Dinghai Song Family.

As Song Chi paused, a glance that was supposed to be casual brought him a great surprise.

Out of the acquired objects from the Starry Sea Floating Lands this round, there were just over a hundred items, and only one was a Red Oddity. Yet, it was this very Red Epic Oddity that brought Song Chi immense surprise.

[Strange Object: Star Bearing Fire Seed]

[Quality: Red]

[Convertible: No]

[Notes: An early-stage fire seed nurtured by the Floating Land Origin Core, unfortunately, the cultivation failed, and after ten thousand years, it became a Red Epic Fire Seed Oddity.]

This sole piece of Red Oddity was a strand of Red Quality Fire Seed.

For other Torch Ship Captains, regardless of its quality, this Fire Seed Oddity, which wasn’t convertible into a Torch Tier Fire Source, held little value. Yet for Song Chi, it was entirely different.

He clearly remembered that the Fire Elemental Life also possessed a strand of Red Fire Seed Oddity—an exchangeable one for an upgrade to the Fire Source.

For that Fire Elemental Life, there was no difference between Red Fire Seed Oddities. Both would greatly boost its life essence. If he could persuade it to agree to an exchange, he would likely be able to transform from an Orange Torch Seed to a Red Torch Seed in a brief period.

How could Song Chi not be thrilled?

After fervently thanking Song Yufeng in his heart, he hurriedly reentered the Ruins Market.

It so happened that a transaction at the market was delayed due to the need to assimilate the effects from the five-thousand-year-old Deep Sea Clam Pearl; now, it could be seamlessly initiated.

…

Ancient Continent, Desolate Heaven Territory.

As the ancestral domain of the ancient royal “Qingtian Tribe”, the Desolate Heaven Territory stretched boundlessly, overpowering any level 4 or even level 5 Starry Sea Floating Land with just one territory’s space.

In the northwest of the Desolate Heaven Territory lay a majestic mountain range known as West King Mountain, said to be the place of Enlightenment for an ancient ancestor of the Qingtian Tribe named West King.

Today, West King Mountain served as the secluded practice area for the third Candidate Holy Son of the contemporary Qingtian Tribe. It stood solemn and imposing like a pillar connecting heaven and earth in the northwest of the Desolate Heaven Territory.

That day, a hurried team appeared at the base of West King Mountain, unexpectedly, this team wasn’t repelled by the dominion restrictions set by the Qingtian ancestor and easily entered West King Mountain.

Atop West King Mountain, the Qingtian Tribe’s third Candidate Holy Son, who had been meditating there for decades, had his seclusion disturbed. His eyes, bright as ancient stars, opened, gathering bursts of cold light.
