National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 509 [Hidden Veins] Please give me your monthly vote!

It has only been two hours since the Divine Fire Body Tempering began, but at this moment there are only eight or nine people left on the platform.

There is one thing common to these dozen people. Except for Song Chi, the cultivation level of their guiding techniques is almost all above lv57, and five of them are at the peak of the fifth level, lv59.

As for Song Chi, he was able to persist for such a long time thanks to the repeated strengthening of his body in the past. However, as the temperature of the surrounding body-tempering flames continued to rise, he had reached the limit of what he could endure.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, but did not turn around and leave the platform. Instead, he raised his clenched right hand.

There is an ice bead the size of a longan in the palm of his right hand.

This ice bead not only emits thick cold fog, but also has silver light flowing around it. It is a silver wonder with ice attributes.

The ice bead is called the [Ice Spirit Bead], which Song Chi obtained from the [Dimensional Space Stone] of the God of Hunting not long ago. It cannot transform shipboard parts. Originally, Song Chi had placed it in the rare item exchange shop to be used for charging the [Market Projection Order] in the future.

It was only after he heard about the divine fire body tempering that he tried to carry this [Ice Spirit Pearl] with him.

“I hope it will have some effect!”

He raised his hand slightly and stuffed the [Ice Spirit Pearl] directly into his mouth. Of course, he didn't need to swallow it into his stomach, but just held it in his mouth.

In an instant, Song Chi felt an extremely cold feeling filling his entire mouth, but as the phantom energy in his body circulated, this cold feeling quickly flowed through his body along with the phantom energy.

A feeling of comfort came through his brain, and the unbearable burning sensation of the previous moment was instantly replaced by ice, which really made Song Chi feel a lot better.

Just like that, Song Chi sat cross-legged on the platform again.

Slowly, the nine people on the stage decreased again.

Seven people;

Five people;

……

Until Song Chi stood up, he found that besides himself, there were only two people still persisting on the platform, and he was one of the three who persisted the longest.

Not caring much about these, he turned around and walked down the platform with difficulty.

Even with the help of the [Ice Spirit Pearl], he still couldn't bear it at this moment. Forcing himself to persist would only cause uncontrollable damage to his body. There was no need to do that.

Moreover, he has gained enough benefits by persisting until now, and his physique is several points stronger than before the tempering.

Given Song Chi's current physical strength, this improvement is extremely precious.

As for the two people who were still holding on on the stage, they were both direct descendants of the Tuoba royal family. Like Song Chi, they had magical objects with water or ice attributes in their hands, plus the fifth-level peak guiding technique, which allowed them to hold on for so long.

However, after Song Chi stepped down, the two of them could not hold on for long, and the divine fire body tempering session came to an end.

The next step after the Divine Fire Body Tempering session was naturally the banquet. There was nothing special about this process, and only after the banquet was over did the Divine Fire Ceremony come to a complete end.

Above the sky, the Dinghai Longxiang and the Tianxu Cangqiong were speeding all the way. The two were rushing back to Haoyue Lake. With the end of the Divine Fire Ceremony, there was no need to stay any longer, but the basic etiquette of saying goodbye in person was still required.

On the battleship's encrypted channel, Song Chi suddenly said:

"Ancestor, what level is the seed of the newly promoted ancestor over there?"

There is naturally nothing to hide about this, Song Wujiang said directly:
"Just like Ru girl!"

Hearing this, Song Chi immediately understood.

"Is it also red? Sigh, silver upgraded fire sources are too rare!"

As he thought about it, his brows furrowed, his eyes moved rapidly, and his mind was full of thoughts.

If a sixth-order dreadnought captain does not even have a silver-flame hull and only has red quality, then his combat power will be greatly restricted.

In this way, even if he now has four dreadnoughts, plus the Tianxu Cangqiong which also has the combat power of a dreadnought, including the three-eyed royal flagship, and the dominant projection of his own [Market Projection Order], it is by no means foolproof to deal with the dominant-level black devouring king beast, and there is still considerable risk.

Thinking of this, he immediately thought of the [Silver Apple Mother Tree]. Now he could upgrade to the red level fire source at will, and he only needed to upgrade the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] to the seventh level. Then he would be able to produce seventh level silver apples continuously. By then, the silver fire seeds would naturally not be a difficult task.

Song Chi's eyes were determined, and he seemed to have made up his mind. He turned and said directly to Song Wujiang:

"Grandfather, my grandson needs the heart of a sixth-level starry sky plant. As long as there are enough of them, my grandson may..."

"Ok!"

Before Song Chi finished speaking, Song Wujiang responded first.

He glanced around and Song Chi instantly understood what he meant. After all, this was the territory of the Tuoba royal family, and there might be some means of monitoring. The magnetic encryption channel of the sixth-order dreadnought was not absolutely confidential.

Knowing that the ancestor had understood what he meant, Song Chi said no more.

Dozens of minutes later, the two warships rose into the air from the surface of Haoyue Lake and finally submerged in the clouds in the sky under the gaze of Tuoba Jun below.

"The heart of a sixth-level starry sky plant... Could it be that a core member of the Song family is about to die?"

Although he had some doubts in his mind, Tuoba Jun did not think much about it. No matter what, he got a silver component.

That’s right, just now, Song Wujiang took the initiative to propose a deal to exchange silver parts for sixth-level starry sky plant tree hearts, and finally got three sixth-level starry sky plant tree hearts from Tuoba Jun.

The silver parts were naturally obtained by Song Chi from the private treasury of the God of Hunting. He had originally intended to exchange them for points in the Star Tower Mall. Now that he could exchange them for three starry sky plant heartwoods, it would naturally be even better.

However, this is not enough. Only four pieces of sixth-level starry sky plant heartwoods are far from enough to upgrade the silver apple mother tree to the seventh level, and more purchases will be needed in the future.

This time, the two did not go to the Silver Plate Mall, but rushed straight out of the floating land.

In this Sacred Fire Festival, Song Chi attracted a lot of attention with his third place. If he really disappeared on the spot in Yinpan City, it might attract the attention of some interested people.

Finally, after many jumps, the two of them chose an uninhabited debris belt and returned to the Dragon Ridge Continent.

……

At Qingyue Manor, Song Chi and Song Wujiang appeared from the courtyard at the same time. Before leaving, Song Wujiang once again gave instructions:
"In the next few years, the family will take action against the Black Devouring King Beast. Don't run too far. The Chaos Star Region is the territory of the Morning Star Family. They may discover the existence of the Black Devouring King Beast one day. We must act as soon as possible!"

"My grandson understands!"

After receiving Song Chi's reply, Song Wujiang summoned the [Dinghai Longxiang] and soared into the sky. ...

Zhutian Market, full attribute training room.

Song Chi started a new round of practicing the guiding technique. Between comprehending the secret technique of [Martial Arts Heavenly Eye] and practicing, he chose to practice.

In his eyes, guiding techniques are the foundation of a long life. In comparison, combat power is only a means and guarantee to help oneself gain a longer life. He can tell which is more important at a glance.

This time he stayed in the full-attribute training room for three months, and used up all the remaining two thousand-year-old deep-water clam beads in his hand. However, his luck was not very good this time, or it could be said that as his guidance technique improved, the difficulty of breakthrough also increased. In the end, he only broke through from lv51 to lv52.

Just when he became familiar with the changes in his strength and was about to use the [Multi-Eyed Clan's Original Pupil Essence] to comprehend the secret technique of [Martial Arts Heavenly Eye], his ethereal body in the outside world received a notice from his family.

Buzz!
Above Qingyue Lake, with the activation of space jump, the Tianxu Cangqiong disappeared.

Dragon's Back Sacred Mountain, the family's ancestral palace.

When Song Chi arrived, thick chaotic fog had already risen in the ancestral temple. Looking up, he saw a human-shaped projection on a golden starry throne above him. Who else could it be but Song Shiyuan who was far away in Jiefeng Floating Land?
In addition, there are five figures standing in front of the ancestral temple.

In addition to Song Wujiang and Song Xingru, there are also Song Dingbang and Song Tianhao. As for the last figure, it is the first time that Song Chi has seen it. However, judging from the sixth-level life breath emanating from him, it is not difficult to guess that this person is the ancestor of the Hidden Vein who successfully promoted to the Fearless Captain.

Seeing this lineup, Song Chi understood that, except for Song Xuancang who was far away in Jiexing Floating Land and unable to get away, this was all the high-level combat power of his own.

Song Tianshu's ship was successfully upgraded to a battleship, but he himself is still trying to master the fifth-level guidance technique. In addition, he is now over 1,900 years old and has little time left, so the family ancestors did not disturb him.

Soon, Song Wujiang took the initiative to introduce Song Chi.

"Xiao Chi, this is the Shixing Patriarch of the Hidden Vein, why don't you come over and pay your respects?"

Shixing?

Are they from the same generation as the original ancestor?

Several thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and Song Chi reacted quickly. He walked quickly to the ancestor of the family's hidden vein, bowed and said:

"Song Chi, the tenth direct vein, greets the ancestor of Shixing!"

"it is good!"

As Song Chi saluted, the old ancestor Song Shixing was obviously very happy. He first smiled and praised, and then continued:
"I've long heard that our Xinhuo ancestral lineage has also produced a brilliant young man. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."

"Also, it is thanks to you that I, an old man, was able to become a fearless captain. Here, this is a gift for you."

Song Chi knew that the other party was talking about the two fifth-level [Time Realm Fruits]. It was said that it was thanks to the second promotion opportunity granted by the Time Realm Fruit that this ancestor Song Shixing successfully upgraded his ship to a dreadnought.

As for the gift handed over by the other party, looking at the familiar palm-sized crystal, the only difference is that it does not emit space energy, but light energy, so Song Chi can probably be sure that this should be a divine crystal of light.

When he thought that his current level of comprehension of the Law of Light was not even 50%, Song Chi's eyes couldn't help but flash with a fiery look.

But out of restraint, he turned his gaze to Song Wujiang on the side, as if seeking the ancestor's opinion.

Before Song Wujiang opened his mouth, Song Shixing in front of him laughed first:

"There's no need to be so formal. Although the Hidden Vein has been developing in a foreign land, my Song family's ancestral vein and the Hidden Vein have always been one. Soon you will have to live with the Hidden Vein for a while!"

After hearing this, Song Chi naturally did not hesitate any longer and directly took the Divine Crystal of Light.

Because of the issue of the Chongming divine bird, the Chongming blood contract had already been made public among the core members of the family. It was also no secret that in addition to the law of space, Song Chi also practiced the law of light as an auxiliary practice. That was why Song Shixing prepared such a gift for the occasion.

After the introduction, everyone immediately brought the topic to the point.

Song Wujiang took the lead and said to Song Shiyuan and Song Tianhao:

“Shi Yuan, Tian Hao, this operation is of great importance, and the family’s top combat power cannot be held back at all, so the two important family locations of Dragon Ridge Continent and Jiefeng Floating Continent are now handed over to you!”

As he spoke, he threw two projection components to each of them.

"This is a sub-component of the silver projection component. If there are any problems that cannot be solved later, you can activate it directly!"

After entrusting Song Dingbang and the other two with instructions, Song Wujiang turned his attention back to Song Chi and the others.

"As for the rest of us, we will set out immediately tomorrow. However, in order to reduce the chance of being discovered, everyone will first enter Xiaochi's spatial wonder, and then Xiaochi's Tianxu Cangqiong will set out alone!"

Originally, Song Wujiang was planning to have the Dinghai Longxiang complete this part, but Song Chi, based on his trust in the Mirage Dragon Wanhua Pearl, took the initiative to take over the matter.

"Besides that, Shi Yuan, you must be careful. There are many people staring at Jie Feng Fu Lu right now."

Above, Song Shiyuan’s projection nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, ancestor. The [High-Dimensional Portal] component on my ship has been enhanced to level 70, which is enough to be silent."

"The key point is that if we all disappear, it may be okay for a short period of time, but if it lasts too long, it will definitely arouse suspicion and prying eyes from the outside world!"

Hearing this, everyone frowned.

At this time, Song Chi said:
“How about this? I will drive the Tianxu Cangqiong to the Huntian Star Region first, and when I successfully reach the black hole, I will return to the Longji Continent to pick up the people. During this time, the ancestors can intentionally or unintentionally reveal their figures to let the outside world notice your existence!”

Several people looked at each other and felt that this method was feasible, especially Song Wujiang. He had experienced Song Chi's magical method and could reach the Huntian Star Region in an instant to take action, which could save a lot of time.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

……

The next day, Song Chi activated the "mirage" feature of the [Mirage Dragon Pearl] and rushed out of the Dragon Ridge Continent silently, all the way along the Red River Star Field, rushing towards the center of the Chaos Star Field.

In order to ensure absolute secrecy of his whereabouts, he would only travel within the duration of the "mirage". Although this method would waste a lot of time, it could ensure the absolute safety of his whereabouts.

Moreover, the old ancestor and the original ancestor are still under the surveillance of outsiders, so there is no need to worry about the issue of time.

It took Song Chi more than half a month to finally enter the central part of the chaotic star field.

As a territory that has been assigned to the Morning Star Family, there are now quite a few patrol fleets in this star field. However, under the "mirage" feature, plus the "high authority" feature bonus of the [Void Membrane], no one can discover the Tianxu Cangqiong shuttling in secret.
