Chapter 546: Chapter 290: Flame Giant · The Emergence of Neutron Star Remains (Jiang Jiu_Jiu Junzi 15000 Reward Extra)_2

In fact, above all this, he had been conflicted. Although there weren’t many silver components between the 80th and 99th levels, there were certainly more than just this one, with several components such as [Tri-Eye Guardian Figurine Tree] [Aurora Belt Fusion Device] catching his interest.

However, after careful consideration, he still chose to address the most significant weakness currently on the Cang Qiong, the repair-type components.

After selecting all the rewards, Song Chi desperately wanted to summon the Cang Qiong immediately.

Having acquired so many resources and components at once, he was eager to carry out a comprehensive enhancement of the Cang Qiong.

Moreover, he was intensely curious about the relationship between the Neutron Star Remains and the [Neutron Star Core Armor].

But no matter how urgent it felt, it was useless to rush, as he still had to deal with the master of the family at the Lava Valley; although he had obtained the [Flame Giant Enslavement Certificate], it was naturally impossible to enslave a Level 5 Life with just a piece of paper. Only Song Xuancang’s personal intervention would suffice.

...

This time, there were no complications; although a group of Flame Giants lived in the Lava Valley, with more than one Level 5 Flame Giant amongst them, as creatures bred by the Song Family, they did not struggle much in front of Song Xuancang. They were quickly sent to wait beneath the Cang Qiong for Song Chi to enslave them.

Song Chi first spent 207 strands of Fourth-Rank, 1 strand of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Origin, along with 975 Titanium Crystals, nearly two hundred Law Stones, to enhance the [Enslavement Medal] to lv50, and then it took nearly ten tries to successfully enslave the Level 5 Flame Giant.

Once the enslavement was complete and with no further business, Song Chi hastily paid his respects to the family head and prepared to leave.

But to his surprise, Song Xuancang called out to him.

“Chi, your flagship has now advanced to the Third Rank, and you will not be able to enter the Dragon Spine Secret Realm again for some time. Staying in the clan won’t benefit your flagship’s improvement…”

Song Chi: ???

A feeling of unease welled up inside him, and he immediately directed his gaze towards the family head in the communication projection, waiting for Song Xuancang’s next words.

As he suspected, Song Xuancang’s following words caused Song Chi, who only wanted to quietly amass strength at home, to inwardly shake his head in denial.

“There is a task that you need to complete for the clan.”

“Two years from now will be the shield-weakening juncture of the ‘Immortal Realm Continent Fragment,’ and at that time, powers from the entirety of the Chenxing Principality will dispatch Torch Ship Captains to enter it. Even forces from outside the principality may come, and you are one of our family’s chosen candidates.”

Hearing this, Song Chi’s eyebrows raised.

He had previously heard his grandfather mention this Immortal Realm Continent Fragment, which was said to be located in the southern region of the Duchy, the Dusk Star Domain. Its overlying Fragment Shield was rumored to be so mighty it was frightening. Even if the several Sixth-Rank Torch Ship Captains of the Chenxing Principality joined forces, they could not make any impact on it. They could only wait for its self-weakening phase every couple of hundred years, which would allow Third-Rank or lower Torch Ship Captains to enter and explore it.

“So you want me to go to the Dusk Star Domain within two years?”

Song Xuancang shook his head.

“No, you will set off in a few days to go to the Duchy Capital Star Domain. After two years, the imperial family will open a Spatial Stargate directly to the Dusk Star Domain. Then you can join them.”

Song Chi was puzzled. If there were still two years to go, why urge him to leave so hastily?

Doubt filled his eyes, and he had a hunch that the family head and the senior family officials did not have good intentions.

Seeing the change in his expression, Song Xuancang remained calm and explained casually:

“You’ve been collecting the Sand of Time, haven’t you? The Blaze Market branch in the Duchy Capital Star Domain has recently gathered some information. It seems there is a considerable amount, at least over 5kg. However, the situation appears to be complicated, and you need to go there in person to check it out.”

“Sand of Time?”

Song Chi’s eyes brightened. If it truly was this rare resource, then he really needed to make the trip.

5kg was no small amount. It would suffice to strengthen the [Purusa Zen Seal] component several times more.

“Thank you, family head. I understand. I will set off in a few days!”

As the Cang Qiong completely vanished from the sky, a fleeting look of something else briefly flashed through Song Xuancang’s eyes within the main control room of the Cang Mang Wuji.

Just then, a level voice came through another line of communication.

“Don’t worry. With the Sand of Time coin from Shi Yuan, plus a Level 5 Flame Giant, and Ruby heading there before long, this kid’s combat power is hidden deep enough. He might just bring us some unexpected surprises.”

“We’ve been keeping too low a profile these years; the major forces of the Duchy have shown signs of probing us. It’s time for the younger generation of the family to cause a stir—the murkier the waters, the better. With the support of a Dominator Battleship, just another few decades, and no one in the Chenxing Principality will be able to stop the Song Family’s momentum!”

Song Chi was completely unaware of these subsequent events. After warp jumping back to Green Moon Manor, he immediately entered the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and summoned the Cangqiong. He couldn’t wait to begin another round of warship enhancements.

Since he was about to head to the Duchy Capital Star Domain, the higher the enhancement levels of the Cangqiong’s components, the better.

In the Duchy Capital Star Domain of the Chenxing Principality—the most mixed and chaotic place in the entire principality—without sufficient strength, one really couldn’t be at ease.

After loading the component called Final Blessing, Song Chi first laid eyes not on this component but on the Immortal Realm Five Elements Celestial Energy Shield and the Neutron Star Core Armor.

Of course, the most important was the Neutron Star Core Armor. As he took out the Storage Capsule containing the Neutron Star Remains, he felt the intense tremor of the Cangqiong beneath him, and the Neutron Star Core Armor component before him shone with a bright red light.

Without any hesitation, Song Chi opened the Storage Capsule in his hand.

In fact, he had already guessed the outcome. He vividly remembered the description of Neutron Star Core Armor’s precursor—the Red Curio of the Neutron Star Core.

“Due to a long lack of energy replenishment, after the Neutron Star Remains are drained of energy, they slowly devolve into a red strange object.”

If it had devolved, that implies the original quality of this Neutron Star Core Curio was not red, but above red.

Making this deduction and considering the reaction to another batch of Neutron Star Remains, it was difficult not to make certain conjectures.

“Could it be that the Neutron Star Core Armor can autonomously absorb other Neutron Star Remains and thus restore its original quality?”

As he speculated, the Neutron Star Remains he had taken from the Storage Capsule had already undergone a violent transformation with the Neutron Star Core Armor component.

The blinding red light made Song Chi instinctively shut his eyes, and when he opened them again, the inside of the ship had already returned to normal.

However, the pile of Neutron Star Remains had disappeared without a trace. He hurriedly checked the properties of the Neutron Star Core Armor to see the changes to the component.

But before doing so, Song Chi simply used more than a hundred strands of Fourth-Rank Floating Land Origin + one strand of Fifth-Rank Floating Land Origin + more than a hundred Law Stones and other things to enhance the Warship Armor to lv50.

After all, it was due for enhancement.

Neutron Star Core Armor lv50

When the warship receives damage, this boundless pulse energy wave continuously repairs the Warship Armor and the Shipborne Energy Shield, restoring 5% of the armor every 10s, and regenerating 5% of the Shipborne Energy Shield’s Shield Value every 20s.})

Of course, the main reason is that I can’t bring myself to add more chapters, wuwuwu!
