CHAPTER 1301: CHAPTER 698: SONG CHI’S [ROYAL TITLE] (PART 2)

"Sigh, the road ahead is still long, and my Song Family is far from the time to slack off..."

With a sigh in his heart, the energy tide surging on the Floating Land below began to slowly weaken, which also meant that before this, tens of thousands of clansmen on the Floating Land had basically all initiated their advancement.

Under his control, the astonishing Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong did not directly manifest but was quickly summoned back. Afterward, Song Chi himself activated the Space Law within him and made his way toward the underground passage below the Floating Land.

It would be too conspicuous to pilot the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong there. The current size of the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong’s captain approaches twenty thousand kilometers. Indeed, if it showed up, it would reveal his identity to the clansmen on the Floating Land.

...

Deep beneath the Cangqing Floating Land, within the Earth Core Space where the Floating Land Origin Core resides.

Buzz buzz buzz!

A faint spatial fluctuation from behind caused Song Yan to turn around immediately.

However, upon seeing that the visitor was Song Chi, the vigilance that had just risen in his eyes instantly dissipated, changing to uncontainable joy.

"Seventh Brother, you’ve emerged..."

Song Chi nodded and then turned his gaze toward the mini fiery warship suspended quietly above the Floating Land Origin Core before them.

"Congratulations, Big Brother. The Fiery Flame Boiling Sea has successfully advanced to a Star-Annihilating Starship. Once your Guidance Technique breaks through, our Song Family will officially possess three Star-Annihilating Starships. In this way, no matter how many prying eyes there are outside, we will be fearless!"

Upon hearing his congratulations, the joy in Song Yan’s eyes intensified further.

Indeed, the successful advancement of the Fiery Flame Boiling Sea to a Star-Annihilating Starship also meant that he was on the verge of a breakthrough in the Guidance Technique to the Seventh Rank, and the thought of the long lifespan of over ten thousand years as a Seventh Rank Annihilation Starship Captain was something no one could remain indifferent to.

However, Song Yan soon thought of something else and said with a wry smile:

"Thank you, Seventh Brother. Unfortunately, luck wasn’t really on our side this time. Despite leveraging the Blood Holy Grail and a large amount of special, extra advancement resources, with the help of the Cangqing Floating Land’s energy tide, the success rate of advancement skyrocketed to 78%, but the Fiery Flame Boiling Sea still failed to advance in one attempt. It only succeeded by using the second chance provided by the Sixth Rank Time Realm Fruit!"

Hearing this, Song Chi also felt sorry for his elder brother, as the opportunity to use the Time Realm Fruit early would greatly increase the difficulty of subsequent assaults on the Eighth Rank Star River Battleship.

Yet, there was no other way. Such matters are unpredictable, and it could only be blamed on bad luck.

After some consolation, Song Chi changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, Big Brother, what is this Blood Holy Grail you mentioned earlier?"

Previously, when talking with Song Shixing, his attention was on the Royal Honor Title, and Song Shixing didn’t mention the matter of the Blood Holy Grail to him.

Once Song Yan explained, Song Chi’s eyes lit up.

This Blood Holy Grail was obviously beneficial for his future attempt to challenge the Star River Battleship. Although it could only absorb the Original Holy Blood of Eighth Rank creatures, it seemed to have some limitations, but Ninth Rank Dominators were not easily killed, right? If one could easily slay a Ninth Rank Dominator, then there would be no need to worry about the advancement of the Star River Battleship, wouldn’t there?

In other words, this limitation was almost negligible.

Moreover, if something unexpected occurred in the future, there were ways to solve it. He could completely try to obtain a Ninth Rank Golden Apple to evolve this Blood Holy Grail into Black Quality, then everything would naturally be resolved.

Without dwelling more on this matter, after a brief conversation with his elder brother Song Yan, Song Chi took his leave.

The Fiery Flame Boiling Sea had just completed its advancement, and Song Yan urgently needed to go into seclusion to try to break through his own Guidance Technique.

After leaving the Earth Core Space, Song Chi didn’t hurry to leave. Instead, he went to another location on the Cangqing Floating Land.

...

Cangqing Floating Land, Hidden Flood Dragon Ridge.

As the best spot for energy tide convergence on the Cangqing Floating Land, second only to the Earth Core Space, this Hidden Flood Dragon Ridge naturally gathered many members of the Song Family Clan.

Among the dozens of advancing clansmen, those who were not prodigies of the family were high-level direct descendants within the clan. It could be said that those who gathered here for advancement were a microcosm of the family’s future power structure.

"Congratulations on advancing, Brother Yu!"

"Everyone, congratulations as well! It’s good news that no one failed to advance this time!"

...

"The family has already done so much for us. If we still... No, be careful, an unfamiliar presence is approaching..."

In the communication chat of the dozens of warships, the strongest clansman whose flagship had just advanced to a battleship suddenly shouted a warning.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding clansmen had no hesitation. The warships’ hull surfaces radiated with spectral energy, immediately preparing for defense.

The one who spoke was named Song Yichuan. Although he was the oldest here, his flagship’s combat power was notably outstanding. He was part of the family’s legitimate succession line a few hundred years ago and had a monstrous elder brother at the level of a Dreadnought Captain. Over the past few centuries, he had followed the family’s main fleet to participate in civilization battlefield front-line wars multiple times, and his sensitivity to crises far exceeded theirs.

In fact, the spatial fluctuation soon emanating above Hidden Flood Dragon Ridge also proved the accuracy of his words.

However, upon seeing the face of the figure that appeared out of nowhere in the sky, the dozens of people who had been vigilant relaxed quickly.

"Yichuan greets Uncle Chi!"

"Greetings to Chi Ancestor!"

As the idol of many new-generation members of the Song Family, Song Chi’s appearance was familiar to many clansmen, so after revealing his face, Song Chi was quickly recognized by these people.

Song Chi nodded with a smile.

"No one failed to advance, very good, but don’t become complacent because of it!"

After a few simple comments, Song Chi looked at a particular Zhulu Warship below.

The owner of this Zhulu Warship was none other than Song Hanyu. After missing nearly two hundred years, the boy who was ten years old at the time had now successfully advanced his flagship to a Zhulu Warship and would soon formally advance to a Zhulu Warship Captain.

Afterward, Song Chi took Song Hanyu aside for a private conversation.

Fiery Flame Boiling Sea had just completed its upgrade, and now Song Yan urgently needed to go into retreat to attempt a breakthrough in his Guidance Technique.

Upon leaving the Earth Core Space, Song Chi didn’t rush to leave but instead went to another place on the Cangqing Floating Land.

...

Cangqing Floating Land, Hidden Flood Dragon Ridge.

As the best energy tide convergence point on Cangqing Floating Land, it naturally attracted many members of the Song Family.

Among the dozens of advancing clansmen, there were many of the Song Family’s legitimate succession line, including a future Zhulu Warship Captain. It was a group that any family would do well to cherish.

"Congratulations on your advancement, Brother Yu!"

After a chat to offer comfort, Song Chi then asked:

"By the way, what is this Blood Holy Grail you mentioned earlier, Big Brother?"

While talking with Song Shixing before, his focus was on his royal honor name, and Song Shixing had not mentioned the matter of this Blood Holy Grail to him.

Once Song Yan explained it, Song Chi’s eyes lit up.

This Blood Holy Grail obviously had its advantages for his future attempt on the Impact Star River Battleship. Though it could only absorb Original Holy Blood of beings up to the Eighth-Rank, which seemed a bit limiting, how would one casually kill a Ninth-Rank Dominator? If it were so, why be troubled by the advancement of the Star River Battleship at all?

In that sense, the limit was almost nonexistent.

Moreover, even if something unexpected happened in the future, it wouldn’t be without solutions. He could completely attempt to obtain a Ninth Rank Golden Apple, allowing the Blood Holy Grail to evolve to Black Quality, at which point everything would naturally be resolved.

Having finished attending to these matters with his brother, Song Yan, Song Chi decided to head to the Dragon Spine Continent without delay through the Void Sea Projection Emperor Tomb.
