Blood Bodhi, enhances the potential of biological gene lineages.

Upon hearing of this effect, everyone immediately took note; they also basically guessed that the Floating Land beneath their feet was likely one of the highly important Floating Lands controlled by the family’s subordinate branches.

As for Song Chi, the first thing he thought of was the Thorned Flying Dragon and Tuogu Hong, both of which were creatures whose genetic bloodlines were at the limit of a certain stage. If they could use even a small amount of this Blood Bodhi, could it help them advance to the Fifth Tier of the genetic bloodline spectrum?

As he pondered, the voice of the family head Song Xuancang once again sounded beside his ear.

"This Blood Bodhi Continent was discovered only two hundred years ago. The family’s valuation of it reached seven stars. To avoid affecting the production of Blood Bodhi within the continent, the family did not carry out a large-scale invasion but opted for a free-range system..."

As he said this, Song Xuancang’s voice paused slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he continued:

"Because of this, the difficulty of performing missions inside this Floating Land is tremendous. If the Blood Bodhi Tribe’s Fourth Rank existences are alerted, the level might escalate to ’Hell’.

"The duration of your mission this time is two months. In these two months, the top ten individuals who obtain more Blood Bodhi and of higher quality will pass this first stage."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

They couldn’t be more familiar with the family’s mission ranking system.

One-star, straightforward (daily tasks, basically no danger)

Two-star, ordinary (about 5% mortality rate)

Three-star, difficult (about 15% mortality rate)

Four-star, hazardous (about 30% mortality rate)

Five-star, hell (more than 60% mortality rate)

Just thinking about a potential 60% mortality rate, and the need to stay on the continent for more than two months, made it difficult for everyone to remain calm.

Song Chi felt the same.

The combat power of Cangqiong is formidable, but that is relative to Second Rank and Third Rank creatures; Fourth Rank units do not fall within this category.

Up to now, Cangqiong has faced a Fourth Rank unit in combat only twice.

The Golden Armored Giant Beast and that Fourth Rank Star Devouring Vine.

There’s no need to mention the Golden Armored Giant Beast, as it was heavily injured from the start, and regarding the Star Devouring Vine, it had just advanced recently.

So, strictly speaking, neither was a normal Fourth Rank unit.

Besides that, neither the Golden Armored Giant Beast nor the Star Devouring Vine had the boost of Fourth Rank Floating Land rules.

The Copper Mountain Continent chosen by the Golden Armored Giant Beast was only a three-level Floating Land and, since the Golden Armored Giant Beast was an outsider, the Copper Mountain Continent had neither the capability nor the intention to boost it.

As for the Star Devouring Vine, its growth was predicated on the premise of draining and destroying a Floating Land; the core source of that Four-level Floating Land would certainly not provide it with support.

Even so, killing both had cost them no small price.

However, the Fourth Rank Blood Bodhi Tribe on the Blood Bodhi Floating Land were different; they were indigenous creatures born and bred on the Blood Bodhi Floating Land and would naturally have the support of the land’s own rules.

Because of this, their combat power within the Blood Bodhi Floating Land would far exceed that of a normal Fourth Rank unit. Once truly targeted by them, even the current Cangqiong would be in grave danger.

Seeing the varied expressions of the crowd, Song Xuancang continued:

"If there are any who wish to withdraw, you may do so now. However, once you agree, you must not retract your decision later; otherwise..."

Song Xuancang left his sentence unfinished, but Song Chi and the others were well aware that any subsequent retraction would surely bring about severe punishment from the family, and it would not be light.

Seeing that no one spoke, a rare smile appeared on the indifferent face of Song Xuancang.

"Very well, this is what I expect from the sons of the Song Family..."

"Since no one is withdrawing, all information about the Blood Bodhi Floating Land will be provided to you in advance. In this time leading up to the mission, you may make targeted preparations."

Upon hearing this, the eighteen of them, including Song Chi, became aware that the family had given them some special consideration.

Although the danger of the succession struggle remained, at least they had been given detailed information about the Blood Bodhi Floating Land in advance by the family, so they could make all kinds of preparations ahead of time.

In doing so, the family could effectively filter out a batch of people without causing undue attrition among these top figures of the family’s current generation.

As Song Xuancang gestured with his hand a second time, the scenery before everyone’s eyes changed once more, and they found themselves back inside the Clan Ancestral Hall.

At the same time, their Quantum Communication Bracelets began to emit a series of notification beeps.

[You have received the file "Information Related to Blood Bodhi Floating Land," please check for details.]

Song Chi casually opened the Communication Bracelet, and without waiting to examine it closely, Song Xuancang’s voice came from above:

"That’s all. Gather here in a month to officially head to the Blood Bodhi Floating Land. You are dismissed for now."

...

The eighteen individuals walked out of the Ancestral Hall one after another. Once they returned to the foot of Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, they began discussing with one another sporadically.

Behind them, the voice of Song Ze sounded.

"Song Chi, my cousin, what do you think? Any interest in forming a team?"

Hearing this, Song Chi thought for a moment, but eventually declined the offer.

"Let’s not. Thanks for the offer, cousin, but my flagship is better suited for solo operations..."

The family did not explicitly forbid teaming up for the mission. This first-stage succession task was just to weed out a small group of people, and as long as it wasn’t a large-scale team, the family wouldn’t object.

The reason for Song Chi’s refusal was, as he said.

On Cangqiong, components such as the [Sonic Silence Field], [Void Membrane], [Fixed-Point Launch Pad], [Brainwave Remote Control System], and [Void Phantom Assassin Soldier Figure Tree] were all perfectly capable of silently and remotely controlling operations to loot the Blood Bodhi.
