Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Guidance Technique Lv5 (Seeking Monthly Tickets on Tuesday, Reading Follow-up)

After returning home, Song Chi plunged straight into the All-Attributes Cultivation Room at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market and continued his cultivation plan for the Guidance Technique.

His cultivation plan was actually quite simple: he would stay in the Ruins Market during the day to practice the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique and then, a few hours before bedtime, visualize the Mythical Mech Projection imprinted in his mind. When his spiritual focus could no longer hold, he would proceed to have a whole night of deep sleep.

In this fulfilling routine, time flew by quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Tian Ruins Market, All-Attributes Cultivation Room.

Standing in a horse stance with hands spread out towards the sky and eyes tightly closed, Song Chi’s muscles trembled slightly, and the next second, his bones resounded with a series of cracks, a strong tingling sensation spreading throughout his body.

Even then, he remained motionless until several minutes later when all the abnormal sensations receded from his body. Only then did Song Chi stand upright, lower his hands, and step out of the practice of the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique.

One could clearly feel that the aura he exuded was much stronger than before, and the vitality within him surged as if he had endless strength.

“Just half a month and the Guidance Technique has already broken through to lv5. It seems the effects of the All-Attributes Cultivation Room are even better than expected,” he thought.

After making some excited gestures and fully adapting to the changes in his body, Song Chi calmed down once more.

On reflection, his Guidance Technique at lv4 had already stalled for almost three years. It was because of this accumulation that he could advance so smoothly to lv5. However, progressing further to lv6 would clearly not be possible in the short term.

Even immersing himself in this All-Attributes Cultivation Room all the time would take at least half a year or more.

Thinking this, the enthusiasm that had just surged in his heart quickly cooled down.

“This won’t do. I need to buy some High-Level Potions to aid my cultivation and try to further increase the speed of my training,” he decided.

The ultimate goal in strengthening the Torch Warship was actually to sublimate one’s life level more frequently and more rapidly, thereby achieving a longer lifespan.

Although Zero Rank citizens in the Torch Human Civilization generally live up to 140 years, and Song Chi, just turning 30, had plenty of time ahead to improve himself, as a transmigrator, the subconscious from his past life on Blue Star still imbued him with an instinctive sense of urgency—he wanted to achieve his first Life Sublimation as soon as possible.

After reaching First Rank, one would have a lifespan of 200 years. Only when he reached this level could he feel somewhat at ease.

…

Coming out of his bedroom, Song Chi headed straight for the shower room. Having made a breakthrough to lv5 in his Guidance Technique, his body had expelled a lot of impurities; he needed a good wash.

Just then, his father, who was sitting in the living room, suddenly called out to him.

“Come with me to the Torch Bureau tomorrow; after your first exploration of the Alien Star Domain, you can apply to activate the Torch Network.”

Hearing the words “Torch Network,” Song Chi’s eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

The Torch Network was an interstellar communication network developed by the Torch Human Civilization based on the Seed of Torch itself.

As is well known, the prevailing network within Torch Human Civilization is based on the Floating Lands’ local area networks, operational only within the confines of the Floating Lands. Once one leaves the Floating Lands and enters the Starry Sea, the network will completely fail, which is extremely inconvenient for interstellar travel and exploration.

However, setting up an interstellar network is exceedingly difficult, not only extraordinarily costly, but even the interstellar stations built at great expense are liable to damage from the Starry Sea storms, Alien Races, star creatures, star pirates, or asteroid collisions, among other factors, with maintenance costs also being unimaginably high.

Of course, the key issue is the sheer vastness of the Starry Sea. The distance between one Floating Land and another could span light-years, making the task of connecting networks between two Floating Lands in the Starry Sea incredibly arduous.

Not to mention the entire Torch Human Civilization’s domain—even the Chenxing Principality, a principality on the edge of the Torch Human Civilization’s territory, has more than ten thousand subordinate Floating Lands. While there are far fewer Life Floating Lands, stringing them all together in a network is unfathomable.

But the Torch Network is different. It is a vast network sketched out stack by stack, based on many Seeds of Torch as nodes, requiring no resources for construction, nor any maintenance, as each node is a Torch citizen capable of self-regulation and even strengthening over time.

One can say that the reason Torch Human Civilization was able to develop into a High-Rank civilization in just a few hundred thousand years is not only due to the strong adaptability of the Torch Warship itself and the greatly reduced development cycle but also directly related to this unique and uncrackable Torch Network system.

…

Having enjoyed a comfortable shower, Song Chi locked himself in his room once again to continue practicing the Guidance Technique and visualizing the Mythical Mech Engraving Map. Cultivation is like rowing upstream; to cease effort is to fall back. Perseverance is a trait every Torch Ship Captain must have. To achieve a prolonged lifespan, how could one fail even in the most basic and tedious practice?

If so, one shouldn’t expect to achieve much in the path of the Guidance Technique later on. After all, when it comes to Spectral Energy Guidance Technique, secluding oneself for decades is often required to make the next breakthrough, and those who cannot withstand solitude cannot persist.

The next day, Song Chao took Song Chi out early in the morning. They did not summon the Torch Warship but still opted for the galloping Type 3 kinetic flying car.

Compared to the Torch Warship, the kinetic flying car was naturally much slower. However, due to the various limitations of carrying passengers in the Torch Warship, and without any particular rush, they chose the kinetic flying car.
