The locations of the spatial beacon set by the six transfer warships were exactly in the core Star Domain of the Bailing Civilization, and right below them was the only Third Rank Life Floating Land in the Bailing Starfield, the Bailing Continent.

Stretching two million kilometers from east to west and one and a half million kilometers from north to south, the Bailing Continent was neither on the verge of reaching the Fourth Rank like the Soul Spirit Floating Land nor freshly advanced to the Third Rank like the Silver Spear Floating Continent. It was a standard Third Rank Life Floating Land.

No sooner had the six transfer warships appeared in the sky above the Floating Land than Song Chi and the other seven Second Rank Torch Ship Captains swiftly summoned their flagships.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as the dozen or so warships were ready to descend, Song Chi’s voice suddenly rang out.

Inside the Qingkong, Song Chao asked,

"Little Chi, what’s wrong?"

Song Chi’s gaze was fixed on the radar image beside him, revealing a cold smile on his face.

"Found an old rat hiding in the gutter, give me a moment!!"

With that said, the Cang Qiong shot forth, streaking towards a mountain range on the continent below.

It was undoubtedly challenging for ordinary Torch Warships to conduct a carpet search of a Third Rank Floating Land, but for the Cang Qiong, this was an easy task.

In the presence of the "Magic Energy Detection" feature of the Silver III Generation Ultra-Wave Magical Energy Detection Radar, no object emitting energy fluctuations could remain concealed, as long as it wasn’t hidden hundreds of meters underground.

In the northern area of the Bailing Continent, as the Cang Qiong descended above a mountain, the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon at the bow of the ship suddenly fired.

Without resorting to the "Mixed Hollow Extreme Yang Sword Intent Divine Light," even a simple cannon shot under the strength of the lv40-enhanced Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon was something that typical Third Rank combat units simply couldn’t withstand.

Indeed, after three consecutive cannon shots, the secret base hidden inside the mountain was utterly destroyed, and even the Third Rank Bailing Civilization starship concealed there was completely obliterated.

The Qingkong, Hei Hai, and other Second Rank Torch Warships also descended:

"Little Chi, how did it go?"

Song Chi nodded.

"A Third Rank Bailing Tribe warship has been dealt with!"

Hearing this, Song Hai and Song Chao’s expressions slightly changed.

The Bailing Continent was the area that Song Mingsong and Song Shan had focused on clearing previously. Yet, Third Rank remnants of the Bailing Tribe were still concealed within, indicating that there were likely even more on other Floating Lands.

Considering this, Song Hai and Song Chao discussed for a while before saying,

"Little Chi, since your flagship can pinpoint these Bailing Tribe remnants, take some more time later to thoroughly search the entire continent."

"Alright!"

Once Song Chi nodded, Song Hai continued,

"Since there are still quite a few remnants of the Bailing Tribe, let’s not send our clan members to other Floating Lands for now. Let’s focus on developing this Bailing Continent first. With the few of us guarding it, nothing should go wrong."

"The Bailing Continent is a Third Rank Floating Land with many resource points. It’s more than enough for the few tens of thousands of us to develop for quite some time. Let’s discuss further after Dad finishes his advancement!"

"Understood!"

After the orders were given, the six transfer warships also began to descend towards the Floating Land below.

They didn’t land in the same area; aside from the Cruiser and one of the Escort Ships landing in the former core city of the Bailing Tribe, "Myriad Spirits City," the other four transfer warships each took positions in different areas of the Floating Land.

Accompanying them was an Escort Ship from within the Pulse, assigned to subsequent regional defense duties, which was the only way to maximize development efficiency.

In the following days, Song Chi, controlling the Cang Qiong, scouted the entirety of the Bailing Continent and cleared several hidden Bailing Tribe outposts again.

However, these were all small to medium-sized outposts, and no Third Rank Bailing Tribe units were found again.

...

Myriad Spirits City, within a tall mechanical building.

This was the retreat spot arranged by Dad and the Second Uncle for Song Chi. After clearing most of the hidden bases on the Bailing Continent, Song Chi returned here.

At the top of the high-rise, in his personal room, Song Chi entered the Ruins Market and began practicing the Guidance Technique once more.

Although he was eager to explore the Ancient Starry Sky Battlefield for a second time, the monthly exploration buffer period couldn’t be rushed.

Moreover, for his next exploration of the Alien Star Domain, he had to first go to the Blood Barbarian Continent via the Ruins Market Spatial Anchor Point, leave a Pathfinder Mark there, and then transpose the Spatial Anchor back to the Bailing Continent.

Only in this way would he be able to activate the Space Beacon Emitter component’s mark after more than a month’s time and stay long-term in the Ancient Starry Sky Battlefield.

That meant he would have to wait another month before he could officially head to the asteroid belt.

Of course, Song Chi wasn’t in too much of a hurry. It just so happened that the second Pathfinder Mark on the Holy Cross Beacon component would take nearly four more months to cool down, which suited his timing.

...

Ruins Market, All-Attributes Cultivation Room.

Song Chi, who had just applied a box of Body Tempering Paste, assumed the Guidance Technique’s training pose.

But before officially starting his training, he took out a millennium-old Firethorn Fruit and swallowed it in a single bite before beginning the practice of the Guidance Technique.

Several days later, when he emerged from the Cultivation Room, Song Chi’s aura had strengthened significantly.

If an outsider had been present, they would have noticed his Guidance Technique had improved from lv22 to lv23.

While the effect of the millennium-old Firethorn Fruit was not as potent as the fifteen-hundred-year-old Deep Water Clam Pearls, it had saved him at least a year of arduous cultivation.
