National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 517: Original Secret Realm Division - Silver [Origin Core Stealing Instrument]

Above the hall, Song Chi and the other four smiled faintly.

Song Yiming's reply obviously made them feel very good. It not only demonstrated his responsibility as a member of the Song family, but also won their favor without throwing away the reward that they should have obtained.

As the most core members of the family, Song Chi and his companions would never be stingy in rewarding and supporting the family members.

After a brief discussion, they finally offered the reward of "choose any silver part".

Song Yiming chose the energy shield. His Minglong was already equipped with silver hull armor. With the addition of an energy shield, the subsequent safety would be greatly improved.

When they were about to pick out one of the several silver energy shield components listed by Song Wujiang, Song Chi suddenly spoke.

"Your flame seed should still be orange, right?"

"Replying to Uncle Song Chi, yes!"

Song Yiming replied respectfully, and the next second his eyes widened, and after a brief daze, they turned into deep surprise.

Song Chi, who was above the hall, first took out a sixth-level [Silver Apple], and then took out an orange upgraded fire source that he had purchased from the market in recent years. After combining the two together, the orange upgraded fire source slowly transformed into red quality.

With a slight wave of his hand, this strand of red upgraded fire source, which was enough to cause the clansmen below in other sixth-level clans to fight each other to the point of bloodshed, was delivered to Song Yiming.

It was not until then that Song Chi's follow-up words were heard again.

"This ray of red upgraded fire source is my personal reward to you. I hope you can maintain today's momentum and continue to spread the power of our Longji Song family in the Morning Star Kingdom, the entire Tianpan River System, and even the entire Xinhuo human river system community!!!"

"Thank you, Uncle Song Chi. Yiming will do his best to ensure that the reputation of our Song family will not be inferior to that of outsiders!"

Above the hall, Song Chi felt extremely calm as he watched Song Yiming, who was very excited, below.

He has always been happy to invest in the younger generation of the family, not to mention that the [Silver Apple Mother Tree] has produced two more rounds in the past seventy years. Now he has accumulated nearly ten pieces in his hands, and he doesn't feel much about taking out one right now.

After Song Yiming left, everyone in the ancestral temple shifted the topic to the last matter.

The seventh-level [Silver Apple] exchanged from the [Posha Heritage Tower] star field was taken out, along with a component emitting red light.

After the five people looked at each other, the seventh-level [Silver Apple] began to interact with the [Origin Core Stealer] that had just been unloaded without any damage. After just a few minutes, the [Origin Core Stealer] evolved into a silver component.

At the same time, Song Wujiang took out a component called [Floating Land Core Extraction Platform] from the Xinhuo Ancestral Acupoint.

This component is of the same type as the [Floating Land Origin Core Stealing Device], but its effectiveness is far inferior. It can only extract 1% of a whole floating land origin core each time, and the operation time is extremely long. It is a rather useless component.

However, it does have a very good feature.

{Temporary extraction authority for upper-level floating land: Consume corresponding psionic points (depending on the component enhancement level and the target floating land level), and temporarily obtain a single authority to extract the floating land origin core that exceeds the enhancement level of this component by one level. Currently, the maximum amount of floating land origin core that can be extracted is 1‰, and the cooling time is 10 years.}
In fact, this is the characteristic that the Song family members value.

As the [Origin Core Stealer] completed its evolution to silver quality, several people directly transferred the "Upper-level Floating Land Temporary Extraction Authority" feature to the [Origin Core Stealer], turning it into the fourth feature of the component.

Floating Land Origin Core Stealer lv60
Quality: silver

Features: Energy Stealer
Feature 2: Cooldown time reduced by 60%
Feature 3: Operation time is always halved

Feature 4: Temporary extraction authority for upper-level floating land

Consumption: 500/s (psi energy points)

Charging time: 1 hour; buffer time: 4 years

Effect: Consume 100000 psionic energy points, and after a certain period of operation (varies according to the component enhancement level and the level of the floating land in effect), steal the floating land origin core of the designated Star Sea floating land that does not exceed the component enhancement level.

After seeing the properties of the evolved [Origin Core Stealer] components, the five people were quite excited.

Because from now on, this component is not only able to extract the origin core of the floating land of level six and below, but it has been upgraded by two major levels to reach the eighth level of floating land.

Even though the maximum single extraction amount of the "Upper-level Floating Land Temporary Extraction Permission" feature is only 1‰, that is an eighth-level floating land. For today's Dragon Ridge Continent, even 1‰ of the eighth-level floating land origin core is the best quality promotion material.

Previously, the Song family had always emphasized that the key to the advancement of the Dragon Ridge Continent lies in the hidden veins. This is what they were talking about.

According to the plan, when the Dragon Spine Continent reaches the peak of the sixth stage, the family's high-level combat forces will jointly go to the [Red Star Super Dimension Continent] and try to use the [Origin Core Stealing Device] that has been upgraded to silver quality to extract as little of the [Red Star Continent]'s origin core as possible.

As long as it succeeds, the difficulty of upgrading Dragon Ridge Continent to a seventh-level floating continent will be greatly reduced.

"Okay, let's proceed according to the family's plan. When the Dragon Spine Continent reaches the peak of level six, we will go to the Red Star Continent together. Before that, Shixing, you must ask the Hidden Vein Clan to find the most suitable Origin Core extraction point!"

"understand!"

……

Time passed. Two years had passed since he returned from the [Posha Heritage Tower] and the [Origin Core Stealing Instrument] was upgraded to silver quality.

On this day, Song Chi withdrew from the Zhutian Market and returned to Longji Manor.

"Are we about to set off? Our family's hidden vein... The Red Star Super Dimension Continent!"

As he thought about this, his gaze turned to the information that popped up on the family quantum communication bracelet placed next to Kong Ling's body.

"Xiao Chi, hurry to Dragon Ridge Divine Mountain and prepare to set off for [Red Star Continent]!"

After tidying up a bit and saying hello to his parents, Song Chi quickly summoned the Tianxu Cangqiong and leapt all the way to the Dragon Ridge Mountain.

At the foot of the Dragon Ridge Sacred Mountain, at the call of Song Shixing, Song Chi recalled the Tianxu Cangqiong for unknown reasons.

I thought that several ancestors still had things to discuss in the ancestral hall, but when I entered the hall, I found that although there was a chaotic fog in the hall, Song Wujiang, Song Shiyuan and Song Xingru were not there. There were only the two of them in the entire hall.

"Xing Zu, this is..."

Before he could finish, Song Shixing raised his hand to interrupt him and said:
"Don't ask, you'll know soon!"

Following Song Shixing, the two walked straight towards the rune stone wall deep in the ancestral temple.

"Secret passage? Or a special enclosed space?"

Many speculations emerged in his mind, and Song Shixing soon gave an answer.

Walking all the way to the innermost part, Song Shixing clicked on the seemingly ordinary rune stone wall several times, and the next second Song Chi raised his eyebrows. Under this seemingly random operation, a strong black light began to emerge on the rune stone wall, and finally a narrow tunnel that could only accommodate one person was cracked open.

Soon after entering the narrow tunnel, Song Chi realized that the entrance to the tunnel behind him had quietly closed. At this time, Song Shixing's voice came to his ears:

"Xiao Chi, can you tell me when did our Song family occupy the Dinghai Star Region and the Longji Continent?"

Without much thought, Song Chi gave the answer directly.

"Two thousand nine hundred years ago!"

"Yes, exactly 2,900 years ago."

"At the beginning, our ancestors decided to expand the Dinghai Star Region, and they overcame all difficulties along the way, laying the foundation for the initial hundreds of light-years of territory in the Dinghai Star Region."

Having said that, Song Shixing changed the subject.

"Then do you know that the early Dinghai Star Region, which took hundreds of years to develop, actually had two Level 4 life-type floating lands that could serve as the family's ancestral land. In addition to the Dragon Spine Continent, there was another floating land that was closer to the peak of Level 4. Why did the family finally choose the Dragon Spine Continent as their ancestral land?"

Song Chi's eyes turned slightly. This was the first time he heard this statement.

"Could it be because of this extra-dimensional portal leading to the [Red Star Continent]?"

Song Shixing didn't keep the question in suspense, he just nodded slightly.

"It is precisely because of this extra-dimensional portal that even the Dragon Ridge Divine Mountain was built to cover up this portal!"

Song Chi suddenly realized, but before he could ask more questions, the two of them had already reached the end of the narrow corridor.

What appeared before his eyes was a small secret room in the mountain. The stone walls around the secret room were all made of special dragon blood diamonds, and a layer of eternal stone bricks was affixed on it to make this stone room as solid as possible.

In addition, the most eye-catching thing is the small teleportation stone door in the middle of the stone chamber.

There are a large number of unknown runes all over the stone gate, which exudes an ancient atmosphere. On both sides of the stone gate, there are two sixth-level slave creatures guarding it motionlessly. It can be said that the family's defense of this teleportation stone gate has reached an unimaginable level.

Song Chi quickly figured out the intention behind this.

Whether it is the eternal stone bricks or dragon blood diamonds around, or the two sixth-level slave creatures, they are not only for defending against the invasion of external enemies, but also for defending the [Super Dimension Portal].

A super-dimensional portal derived from an eighth-level super-dimensional continent is equivalent to a regular creation of this broken sea of ​​​​stars and is almost impossible to be destroyed by external forces.

Therefore, once the Song family's hidden base opposite the teleportation gate is eradicated by alien civilizations, the other party will be able to invade the Dragon Ridge Continent through this teleportation stone gate at any time. In this case, how can the Song family not be highly prepared?
Just as he was thinking about it, Song Shixing had already stepped onto the stone teleportation gate.

Song Chi quickly followed, and when they both stood on the stone platform at the same time, Song Shixing took out a special ethereal crystal from his body.

Each time the super-dimensional portal is activated, one Void Crystal must be consumed.

Of course, it's not just the super-dimensional portal occupied by the Song family that is like this; all super-dimensional continents and super-dimensional portals are the same.

And the key is that this is not an ordinary ethereal crystal, but a high-level ethereal crystal. Its value and rarity are hundreds or thousands of times that of ordinary ethereal crystals. Each one is extremely valuable.

Thinking of this, Song Chi couldn't help but think of the [Space Wormhole Generator] component.

"Xing Zu, have you never tried that [Space Wormhole Generator]?"

Hearing this, Song Shixing sighed and shook his head.

"How could it be that we haven't tried it? When the ancestor first got this component, he immediately notified us and conducted a preliminary trial."

"Failed?"

"Well, the results show that the effective range of the [Space Wormhole Generator] is not enough!"

Hearing this answer, Song Chi couldn't help but be shocked.

He knew that the [Space Wormhole Generator] component, which had been upgraded to level 70, could open a wormhole spanning as far as billion light years.

This means that the Red Star Continent is at least 30 billion light-years away from the territory of the Xinhuo human civilization, which is definitely an exaggerated distance.

At this time, Song Shixing whispered again:

"Wait until the ancestor gets a golden upgraded fire source and strengthens the [Space Wormhole Generator] to the eighth level. Hopefully, it will be effective by then!"

Song Chi nodded and agreed with this.

According to what the ancestor said before, if the [Space Wormhole Generator] is strengthened to the eighth level, through the previous strengthening rules, its maximum opening distance should be able to reach 300 billion light years. In this way, there should be a good possibility of connecting to the [Red Star Continent].

If this is true, it will be much easier for the family to do things in the future.

At this time, Song Shixing seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes looked at Song Chi with a shining look.

"Xiao Chi, tell me something. Is it possible that your method of returning to Dragon Spine Continent at any time can also be used on Red Star Continent at the same time? To the extent that you can travel back and forth between the two floating continents at any time?"

When Song Chi suddenly heard such a question, he fell silent for a moment. He thought for a while and was obviously not too sure.

According to his guess, the [Zhu Tian Market Secret Realm] is most likely a cosmic-level secret realm, but as a cosmic secret realm, it also has its advantages and disadvantages.

According to the records in the Beiqiong Shen family database, the inferior cosmic secret realms can at most be comparable to the black supreme wonders, and most conventional cosmic secret realms are comparable to the [color/lower level] level mythical wonders. However, if it is the top cosmic secret realm, it can be compared with the [color/upper level] or even higher level wonders. The gap is not small.

So after hesitating for a while, he only gave an uncertain answer.

"Maybe, grandson isn't sure either!"

He was not clear at the moment what level of primitive secret realm the [Market Secret Realm] was. If it was just the lowest level primitive secret realm, the [Red Star Continent] was so far away from the Dragon Ridge Continent that it might not be possible to cross such a long distance for the spatial anchor point.

As for the previous exploration of alien domains, it was said to be randomly deployed, but in fact it was still centered on the Xinhuo human galaxy community, and the exploration was carried out within the surrounding area of ​​10 billion light years. It is said that this restriction will only be lifted after entering the star destroyer.

After hearing his reply, Song Shixing did not ask any more questions, but said to himself:
"I hope God will bless our Song family. If this works, the family's development momentum will be unstoppable."

After saying this, the high-level ethereal crystal in his hand was thrown into the super-dimensional portal. After a while, the intense feeling of weightlessness enveloped the two of them.
