Chapter 1061 - 560: Golden Spark Artifact
“Little Pool, if I remember correctly, you’re just over 400 years old, right?”
In just ten short years, you’ve successfully broken through the Sixth-Order Guiding Technique and officially become a true Fearless Ship Captain. This is undoubtedly great news. However, in Song Shiyuan’s view, the greatest news isn’t this—it’s your absurdly young age.”
Not yet 500 years old, compared to the ten-thousand-year lifespan of a Sixth Rank Fearless Ship Captain, Song Chi still has infinite potential ahead. As long as there’s no mishap, it’s highly likely he could achieve the rank of Annihilation Starship Captain in the future.
Song Chi nodded and replied softly:
“Yes, Forefather. Your grandson has just turned 420.”
As they chatted idly, someone walked into the grand hall once again.
Under the formidable Power of Double Pupils, Song Chi immediately saw the visitor clearly and his smile grew even wider.
“Congratulations, Big Brother, on officially stepping into the Sixth Rank Life stage in the Starry Sea!”
Upon hearing his congratulations, a faint laugh came from within the Chaos Mist.
“Same to you!”
The visitor was none other than Song Yan, who closely followed Song Chi and had similarly officially broken through the Sixth-Order Guiding Technique.
Song Chi also noticed something different—a shadow of Double Pupils emerging in his elder brother’s eyes, which seemed to produce some level of suppression on him.
“Big Brother, has [Chong Guang] also broken through to the Sixth Rank?”
“Haha, I knew I couldn’t hide this from you.”
Through the Chaos Mist, Song Yan, emanating the strong aura of Sixth Rank Life, appeared in front of both Song Chi and Song Shiyuan.
By his side, the appreciation in Song Shiyuan’s gaze deepened even further.
As one of the Song family’s twin stars, Song Yan was not much older than Song Chi, being around only 450 years old. His potential was equally astonishing.
Compared to Song Shiyuan’s admiration, Song Chi’s gaze toward his brother, Song Yan, focused more on his pair of eyes, which were condensed with the tangible shadows of Double Pupils.
Back then, he had brought back two Zhuque Divine Birds, one large and one small, from the Spirit Beast Secret Realm. The adult one was bonded to Song Wujiang, while the smaller one was given to Song Yan, eventually named as [Chong Guang]. He didn’t expect that, over two hundred years later, [Chong Guang] would break through to the Sixth Rank before [Chong Yu].
Though somewhat surprised, Song Chi didn’t harbor other thoughts in his heart. [Chong Yu] had already reached the Fifth Rank Peak long ago and wouldn’t take much time to break through to the Sixth Rank.
Moreover, [Chong Yu] had its own advantage—it hadn’t comprehended Secret Realm Laws, keeping all its potential intact. Yet [Chong Guang] and the forefather’s [Chong Ying] were locked at the Sixth Rank, with no possibility of ever advancing to the Seventh Rank.
Regarding this, the forefather had long hoped to breed descendants for the three Zhuque Divine Birds, but unfortunately, he hadn’t been able to locate any other Zhuque Divine Birds.
“Little Pool, take this.”
While Song Chi’s thoughts raced, Song Yan called out to him, and Song Chi saw him toss something his way.
It was a crystal stone glowing with a fiery red light, its surface radiating considerable warmth. Even with Song Chi’s Sixth Rank physique, holding the crystal felt scorching.
He didn’t need to ask; Song Yan quickly explained.
“This crystal stone is named [Flame God Fire Crystal]. It contains potent fire attribute life energy. If given to [Chong Yu], it should help hasten its breakthrough.”
Hearing this, Song Chi beamed joyfully.
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
He didn’t refuse, accepting the [Flame God Fire Crystal].
[Chong Yu]’s ability to break through to the Sixth Rank directly impacted whether he could obtain Sixth Rank [Double Pupils] enhancement in the short term, something truly crucial.
Having recently undergone the sixth wave of Life Sublimation, although he didn’t experience the substantial Law Amplitude seen during breakthroughs from the Third to Fourth Rank, he nonetheless gained a small acceleration in Law Comprehension over the decade. If he could receive Sixth Rank Double Pupil enhancement now, it would greatly help him in comprehending three types of laws in the future.
After the three conversed thoroughly, Song Shiyuan suddenly said:
“Alright, since the forefather is likely to require another twenty or thirty years to achieve his breakthrough, don’t waste this period of accelerated Law Comprehension. Return or enter the Dragon Spine Secret Realm to delve into the laws.”
…
Neither Song Chi nor Song Yan voiced any objections to the Prime Ancestor’s arrangements. After bidding farewell, they walked out of the grand hall together.
Just before leaving the hall, Song Chi asked Song Yan one more question.
“Big Brother, what exactly was the forefather referring to earlier? Could it be related to the place filled with extreme flame energy you mentioned before?”
During their time on the Red Star Continent, Song Yan had asked about the restrictions on entering and exiting the Ruins Market to see if it was possible to explore the civilization relic site, which even ordinary Seventh Rank Dominators found difficult to access. Song Chi suspected that what the forefather was discussing earlier was connected to this.
As expected, upon hearing his question, Song Yan nodded lightly.
“Indeed, that fiery relic site is precisely part of the civilization transmission I obtained back then.”
Pausing briefly after this remark, he ultimately didn’t provide specifics, simply mentioning that the site was tied to a special artifact. This single sentence left Song Chi deeply shaken.
“As for the precise details of this relic, you’ll know in the future yourself. I can only tell you that outside the fiery relic site, I once saw the existence of a Golden Spark Artifact!”
Upon hearing the words “Golden Spark Artifact,” it was difficult for Song Chi to stay calm. If the Golden Spark Artifact could be transformed into a golden upgrading fire source for Torch Warships, it would rival even Black Supreme Components in value within the Torch Human Civilization.
The key was that he was in dire need of a strand of Golden Upgrading Fire Source at the moment.
However, this excitement didn’t last for long—Song Chi quickly reverted to calm.
Not to mention the challenge of venturing deep into the flame relic site to obtain the Golden Spark Artifact, even if they acquired it, the possibility of transforming it into [Torch Tier Fire Source] was uncertain.
