Chapter 1065: Chapter 562: 3 Strands of Golden Spark Artifact_2

“Forget it, their attitude is firm. They probably have someone in their family also attempting the Seventh-Order Guiding Technique, so they won’t give in.”

…

After the minor interlude, Song Chi and his companion once again departed through the Ruins Market, returning to the Dragon Spine Continent.

Upon seeing their successful retrieval of the 100,000-year-old [Earth Spirit Ginseng], Song Shiyuan was overjoyed. The [Earth Spirit Ginseng] was immediately sent into the [Dinghai Dragon Steed].

From then on, all they had left to do was wait.

Time passed, and another fourteen years went by. Only thirty years remained until the Torch Humanity’s Four Great Empires would officially launch an all-out war against the Eight-Armed Snake Demon Civilization.

Six years prior, the family began selling off their hoarded war supplies at full capacity. At that time, the price of war materials had already risen to forty times the original acquisition price.

With such staggering profit margins, over the past six years, the Song Family not only replenished their family’s Secret Vault early on but also acquired many rare resources and top-tier Strange Objects from the market.

At Zhu Tian Ruins Market, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong hovered high in the sky, with the eighth-ranked Power of Domination gathering within the Secret Realm.

Beneath the warship, the Seventh-Rank [Black Devourer King Beast]’s corpse floated quietly. The eighth-ranked Power of Domination acted upon it, swiftly refining the blood and Dominant True Spirit within the corpse.

Half a year later, the [Black Devourer King Beast]’s corpse was completely consumed of value. In contrast, Song Chi now held a drop of Seventh-Rank Starry Sky Behemoth Essence and thirty-five portions of Dominant True Spirit.

“Counting these thirty-five portions, the Dominant True Spirit I’ve accumulated has reached 64 portions.”

Muttering to himself, his brows furrowed slightly.

It seemed like a lot, but in reality, it wasn’t nearly enough.

“Master, the Communication Bracelet has received new information. The sender is ‘Prime Ancestor.'”

Hearing the Abyss Demon’s transmission from the outside, Song Chi hurriedly exited the Ruins Market.

Messages from Song Shiyuan carried immense importance.

At Green Moon Manor, Song Chi’s gaze focused on the light screen projected by the Quantum Communication Bracelet in front of him.

“The ancestor has emerged from seclusion…”

After reading the information on the screen, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong was summoned without hesitation and soared into the heavens.

Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, Ancestral Hall.

When Song Chi arrived, Song Wujiang was already standing tall at the head of the great hall.

“Seventh-Rank Life Pressure—The Guiding Technique has successfully broken through!”

Feeling the oppressive force emanating within the hall, Song Chi exchanged glances with Song Yan, who had arrived before him, joy flickering in both their eyes.

The breakthrough in the Guiding Technique to the Seventh Rank meant that the ancestor had become a true Star-Annihilating Starship Captain, a milestone of extraordinary significance.

Beyond the enhanced strength, the mere fact that no Seventh Rank Star-Annihilating Starship Captain would look down upon them held profound implications.

At the least, in the upcoming civilization war, the Song Family would no longer face the risk of being treated as cannon fodder—this was critically important.

At the head of the hall, Song Wujiang’s gaze fell upon them.

When their eyes met, Song Chi had never felt as he did now. The ancestor’s gaze seemed dazzlingly radiant, like an eternal star suspended high above, naturally instilling humility.

However, he quickly composed himself, recognizing that this was due to the immense positional gap between Sixth-Rank and Seventh-Rank Life Entities.

Just as a Fourth-Rank Lifeform in the Starry Sea was incomparable to a Third, so too was the divide between Seventh-Rank and Sixth-Rank beings—if not more so.

Seeming to read their thoughts, Song Wujiang smiled as he explained.

“The breakthrough is still fresh, so my control over the spectral energy within me remains somewhat unrefined. Pay it no mind.”

With that, he continued:

“Thanks to that [Earth Spirit Ginseng], I completed the breakthrough in the Seventh-Order Guiding Technique ten years ago. Using this second Law Amplitude Phase, I’ve successfully achieved perfection in Space Law.”

As he explained, Song Wujiang gently waved his hand. In the next moment, the entire hall surged with an abundance of Space Laws. Enveloped by these perfected Space Laws, Song Chi, Song Shiyuan, and Song Yan were all slowly lifted off the ground.

This, of course, was not all. Even before crossing the 80% threshold in Space Law Comprehension Degree, Song Wujiang could achieve similar feats.

The key difference was that now, the three of them could hardly resist. Despite all three having reached Major Achievement in Law Comprehension, they stood no chance against the authority of a perfected Law.

Such was the dominance of Laws at the Perfection Tier.

Retracting the Power of Laws, Song Wujiang went straight to the point.

“With the breakthrough complete and only thirty years remaining until the start of the civilization war, there’s no time to waste. We’ll set out for that relic immediately!”

“Is everyone prepared?”

…

Dragon Spine Continent Sky, deep within the clouds.

Three warships silently idled in suspension.

In the warship’s magnetic wave communication group chat, Song Yan glanced at Song Wujiang and Song Chi.

Seeing them both nod in agreement, he hesitated no longer and promptly activated the warship’s fixed Alien Star Domain projection system.

Following the [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea], the [Dinghai Dragon Steed] and the [Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong] successively initiated their interstellar domain projection functionalities.

Beneath the Floating Land, Song Shiyuan stood at the mountainside of Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, looking skyward. Only after a burst of intense spatial ripples swept past did he retract his gaze.

Song Xingru was now stationed at the Robbing Wind Floating Land, while Song Shixing remained on the Silver Disk Continent. Despite the Dragon Spine Continent already being a Seventh-Level Floating Land, eternally protected by its Floating Land Shield, having a Sixth-Rank Fearless Ship on guard ensured greater security. Thus, Song Shiyuan had chosen to stay instead of accompanying Song Chi and the others on their mission.

…

Unknown Star Domain, Silent Stellar Space.

After a fierce spatial ripple, three warships—one large and two smaller—suddenly materialized from the void.

In the main control room of the [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea], Song Yan operated the embedded components to retract the integration light belts. Quickly, the three warships dispersed.

“Little Flame, do you have the Star Chart?”

Within the quickly connected magnetic wave communication chat, Song Wujiang’s voice inquired.

Song Yan shook his head.

“No need for a Star Chart; the civilization relic is just over there.”

Following the direction Song Yan indicated, Song Chi only saw an expanse of emptiness. At first, he assumed they were still some distance away, but Song Yan’s subsequent actions caught him somewhat off guard.

The [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea] advanced for just a few seconds in that direction before abruptly vanishing from view.

Realizing there was a special spatial veil in place, the other two warships quickly followed.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Passing through the transparent spatial veil that neither the naked eye nor radar could detect, Song Chi suddenly felt as if he had entered a dreamlike Star Domain.

Like the Blood Battle Secret Realm where Blood Battle Clan corpses were stored, the space beyond the transparent spatial veil was a small, enclosed Star Domain. On either side were two tiny stars, whose emitted starlight illuminated the area with exceptional brilliance.

Situated at the center of the star-crowned space were two parallel spatial wormholes.

Through Song Yan’s explanation, Song Chi and the others learned that the ends of these twin wormholes led to the civilization relic he had acquired. While the left wormhole had been fully explored, offering him all its inheritance, the right wormhole led to a world of flames.

Song Yan had previously ventured into the flame world but only reached halfway through. The [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea] could not withstand the terrifying heat and was forced to retreat.

Hearing this, Song Chi felt eager to try. With the advanced features of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, he was confident—especially with its triple-layer Golden Sanctuary-level Energy Shield.

But Song Yan, fully aware of the flame world’s horrors, was unconvinced.

In the end, Song Chi resolved to try his luck.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The warship engines roared, propelling the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong toward the wormhole entrance, followed closely behind by the [Dinghai Dragon Steed] and the [Fiery Flame Boiling Sea].

“Warning: External fire attribute energy is highly concentrated and is corroding the Frost Cold Shield.”

As soon as they entered the wormhole, the Dome Sky Wisdom Brain’s alert resounded.

Song Chi ignored the warning, continuing to pilot the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong deeper into the wormhole corridor.

Hours later, all three layers of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s Energy Shield were overloaded. The [Final Blessing] component had also been activated once.

Seeing this, Song Chi halted the warship.

Through the display screen, he observed an expanse of crimson ahead—a twisted void scorched by infinite heat waves.

In that moment, his double pupils detected three golden glimmers deep within the space, faint flames glowing with a radiant luster.

Although blurry, he trusted the perception of his Sixth-Rank double pupils.

“Three threads of Golden Sanctuary-level Fire Seed Artifacts!”

Though elated at the confirmation, Song Chi’s hands moved swiftly, commanding the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong to pivot sharply.

Without its Energy Shield, the external, fearsome flame energy was continuously eroding the black hole evolution layer on the warship’s outer Warship Armor. In such circumstances, the ship could no longer progress and had to retreat.
