Chapter 502: Chapter 268: Secret Technique, Law, Divine Thought State, Primordial Secret Realm_2

Song Mingsong underwent a change in his usual demeanor and, after some careful thought, he solemnly said:

“To rush the promotion now? The suitable Star Domains that our family controls and connects to have been extensively culled by the Third-Rank Alien Race due to the ‘Furious Lion,’ so why not wait for the follow-up…”

About this, Song Chi was of course aware. He chuckled and said:

“Grandpa, I have marked a ‘Blood Barbarian Continent.’ There are many Third-Rank wolf barbarians there, and even some Half-Step Fourth-Rank Level tribal totem creatures. It should be sufficient for the Cang Qiong’s promotion needs.”

Song Chi had discovered the Blood Barbarian Continent and set up a Space Beacon there some time ago. He hadn’t informed his grandfather and the others because the totem spirit beasts in the large barbarian tribe on this Floating Land, when relying on their totem belief—a special Supernatural System ability—could possibly exert Fourth-Rank-Level Combat Power, which was too risky.

Now, however, things were completely different. Not to mention that the ‘Furious Battle Mad Lion’ had already been promoted to a Zhulu Warship. Although it momentarily could not transform into its Mecha form, it was still enough to crush these castrated versions of Fourth-Rank Combat Power, and the current Combat Power of the Cang Qiong was already unafraid of these.

Hearing that Song Chi was prepared, Song Mingsong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he said:

“What about the special resources required for the Warship’s promotion?”

“Just missing Ice Origin Stones…” Song Chi replied truthfully.

“Well then, wait till the day after tomorrow when we return from the Ancestral Hall, your uncle and I will accompany you to that Blood Barbarian Continent!”

Song Chi’s mouth twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say that there was no need for such an exaggeration, and having his uncle involved was really unnecessary.

However, upon reflection, considering his grandfather’s personality and that it was also the goodwill of an elder, he ultimately did not voice his hesitation.

Time flew by quickly, and two days passed in a flash.

At the Dragon Spine Sacred Mountain, the Song family’s Ancestral Hall.

An enthusiastic Song Chi arrived early at the grand hall. Unlike the procession of three days prior, today there was only the head of the family, Song Xuancang, present in this solemn hall.

Without Song Chi needing to speak, Song Xuancang waved his hand from the upper seat. Then, Song Chi felt a surge in the void in front of him, and the next second, a vast amount of resources appeared out of thin air.

3000 Titanium Crystals, 200 Law Stones, 200 strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin, 2000 strands of Third-Rank Floating Land Origin…

Looking at the resources that appeared in front of him, Song Chi was delighted.

“These are the annual resource subsidies from the family hierarchy. I hope you can continue to strengthen your Warship and improve yourself…”

As he spoke, Song Xuancang swept a glance over Song Chi’s entire body and then continued:

“Second-Rank Guidance Technique is still too low. After all, if you want to learn the Inherited Secret Techniques and comprehend the Laws of the family later on, you will need a spirit conditioned by the Divine Thought State.”

Waiting for Song Chi to nod seriously and then taking these resources, Song Xuancang walked down from the high platform of the grand hall, asking softly as he walked:

“How is your Spiritual Force now?”

Song Chi did not dare to conceal anything and answered truthfully.

“Sevenfold Mind Utilization?” Song Xuancang felt somewhat surprised internally. Generally speaking, a Second Rank Torch Ship Captain who could reach the third stage of the Ordinary Thought State, which is Sixfold Mind Utilization, would already be considered a genius, and this was something extremely difficult to achieve.

And to progress further to Sevenfold Mind Utilization during the Second Rank of the Guidance Technique was even more challenging. He had assumed Song Chi was at Sixfold Mind Utilization, which explained his surprise.

After thinking it through, he continued:

“If you are at Sevenfold Mind Utilization, do you still have that droplet of Fourth-Rank-Level Soul Cleansing Liquid?”

“I do!”

The question and answer between the two were quick because these were matters they both clearly understood.

The Fourth-Rank-Level Soul Cleansing Liquid, if the current Second-Rank Song Chi dared to absorb it indiscriminately, his spirit would likely burst instantly.

“That makes things easier. Once your Guidance Technique has advanced to Third Rank and you’ve undergone the third Life Sublimation, your Spiritual Force should be able to reach Tenfold Mind Utilization. At that point, if you absorb that droplet of Fourth-Rank Soul Cleansing Liquid in one fell swoop, it will definitely allow you to break through to Divine Consciousness State Spirit.”

Song Chi nodded, indicating that he understood, while Song Xuancang continued to walk slowly and spoke again:

“Other members of the family generally need to draw on additional high-level divine soul resources from within the clan. Since you’ve already prepared it yourself, you naturally can exchange that divine soul resource for something else. Have you thought about what you need? Whether resources to speed up your practice of the Guidance Technique, or…”

Hearing that there were these extra resources available, Song Chi’s heart stirred, and his eyes shifted before he shook his head.

“Let’s forget about the resources for practicing the Guidance Technique…”

He had not chosen resources to speed up his practice of the Guidance Technique or breakthrough. After all, he might obtain older Firethorn Fruits from the Fire Elemental Life later on. Right now, what he needed more was the Sand of Time.

“Family head, does our clan have such a unique resource as the Sand of Time?”

Song Xuancang looked surprised for a second time. As a type of time-related resource, he was not unfamiliar with the Sand of Time.

Now that Song Chi had proactively mentioned this resource, it meant that he must have a time-attribute component for the ship. Realizing this, Song Xuancang looked at Song Chi with great interest.

A time-attribute component for the ship was considered one of the rarest, and their quality was generally high.

In a flash, Song Xuancang conjectured many things, but he did not dwell on them. It’s common for many in the clan to have secrets, he himself included, and it’s normal. Nobody would pry into them.

“The Sand of Time, I remember we do have some reserves at home. Why, do you need it?”

Song Chi was overjoyed and nodded firmly.

While the two conversed, Song Xuancang strode to the center of the great hall, standing before Song Chi.

He waved his hand gently, and then Song Chi saw the very resource he had long coveted.

It was the extremely rare Sand of Time.

“Here is 1kg. The clan doesn’t have a large reserve, so this is all I can give you.”

Song Chi gladly accepted it.

1kg was not much, but for the Cang Qiong’s first enhancement, only 10g was needed, which was enough for an enhancement or two.

“Alright, I still have to take you to a place—don’t resist!”

Song Xuancang said with a smile, his tone casual, yet in Song Chi’s ears, it felt incredibly calm, trustingly placing utmost confidence in the family head.

Song Xuancang placed his hand on his left shoulder, and the next second, a sense of weightlessness engulfed him.

When Song Chi reopened his eyes, he realized he was standing atop an ancient and vast expanse of star continent.

This was a vast and boundless Star Continent. Looking up, he saw an unimaginably huge mountain range at the edge of his vision, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers, like a… majestic Dragon Whale lying across the continent, with infinite laws of space manifesting above it, stirring the heart.

Song Chi felt a slight floating sensation underfoot and nearly became dizzy and pained from the overload to his mind.

At that moment, a gentle chuckle from the family head Song Xuancang rang in his mind, instantly restoring a hint of clarity, and taking advantage of this clarity, he quickly averted his gaze, no longer looking directly at the distant mountain range that greatly resembled a gigantic Dragon Whale, intuition told him that this was the cause of his discomfort.

Song Xuancang’s voice suddenly sounded in his ears, also explaining everything to him.

“This is the clan’s Dragon Spine Secret Realm. Above the Vault of Heaven manifests the Primordial Laws. With your current Ordinary Thought State mind, you cannot touch it directly, even merely looking at it…”

Hearing the term Dragon Spine Secret Realm, Song Chi’s eyes moved, and inwardly he thought, of course.

“Previously when accessing the clan’s secret realm platform, there was no existence of this ‘Dragon Spine Secret Realm’…”

Having suspected the existence of other secret realms in the clan when he had challenged the Immortal Puppet Secret Realm, now it seemed his thoughts had been correct. Moreover, this Dragon Spine Secret Realm was no ordinary realm.

As a Primordial Secret Realm, not only was it frighteningly large, but it also manifested various Primordial Laws. Although the laws within the realm were much weaker than the Starry Sea Law, the direct manifestation of these Primordial Laws enabled members of the Song family to greatly accelerate their comprehension of the external Starry Sea Law.

As Song Chi’s thoughts were in turmoil, Song Xuancang’s voice once again rose.

“Come with me. I still have to take you to retrieve something very important for every generation in the family!”
