Chapter 298: Cold Moon Snow Python Advances to Fourth Rank_2
```
This was also the reason behind Song Chi's sigh. The Superlative Body Tempering Elixir had a significant auxiliary effect on his current Guidance Technique, but due to the limited quantity produced by the clan each time and the priority given to the clan elders, he had not yet personally experienced its effects.
After surveying the entire valley to ensure there were no dangers and noting that a specialized patrol fleet was in place, Song Chi finally returned to his manor.
The next day, with his spirits fully restored to their peak, he once again connected to the Torch Network.
Instead of looking around haphazardly like the day before, Song Chi directly opened the search engine.
[Ether Crystal]
He keyed in the keyword and hit search.
A slew of related products and information appeared, but they were all just gimmicky mentions with no practical use.
Not surprised by this, Song Chi quickly entered a new keyword.
[Sand of Time]
The results were the same as before, with no helpful information.
With an unchanged expression and having anticipated this outcome, Song Chi quickly redirected his attention.
He had already relayed information about both items to the Chenxing Yang Continent over ten years ago. If they could be found so easily, Song Yufeng would have notified him long ago.
After pondering for a moment, he entered several other keywords in succession.
[Hybrid Device]
[Translocation Device]
[Soldier Figurine Tree Component]
To this day, the Cang Qiong lacked any hybrid components, which was a small flaw. Now, with an abundance of spaceship components available on the Chenxing Yang Continent, he wanted to see if he could purchase one.
As for the translocation device, the Cang Qiong had only one, the [Purple River Translocation Device], and it was capable of fitting another one.
The last keyword, Soldier Figurine Tree Component, referred to a replacement for the [Fire Peony Soldier Effigy Tree] component. The white component could no longer keep up with the current strength of the Cang Qiong.
After searching three times in a row, Song Chi indeed found several suitable components.
Although they were all of Blue Quality, they were quite appropriate for the current situation.
Pegasus Translocation Device lv0
Quality: Blue
...
Humanoid Soldier Figurine Tree lv0
Quality: Blue
...
The component that Song Chi was interested in was the [Pegasus Translocation Device]. Although it was just an ordinary Blue Quality component without any special features, it could be enhanced later on. Combined with the [Purple River Translocation Device], it would be very effective, at least saving a lot of time on future travels.
As for the blue Soldier Figurine Tree components, Song Chi wasn't particularly interested. Between white and blue, lv29 and lv39, there wasn't much difference for the Cang Qiong at the current stage.

Opening the private chat panel, Song Chi initiated a private conversation with the Torch Ship Captain who had the [Pegasus Translocation Device] listed.
In the end, he paid 100 threads of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin and 1000 threads of First-Rank Floating Land Origin to successfully purchase the blue translocation device.
After making the payment, he didn't need to worry about it anymore. It would be delivered by a dedicated delivery person within the day.
Several hours later, having successfully acquired the component, Song Chi enhanced it to lv30 before he retreated into prolonged seclusion.
He devoted himself completely to visualizing the Mythical Mech Projection Imprint Blueprint and cultivating the Guidance Technique.
Two months later, in the underground battleship summoning room of the manor, Song Chi stood atop the warship's in-built Ghost Energy Cultivation Platform, his body scorching hot as he engaged in the cultivation of the Guidance Technique.
```
Over the previous decade, due to his comprehension of the Law, he had been forced to stop his cultivation of the Guidance Technique and now naturally had to pick it up again.
In order to maximize the auxiliary effects of the Ghost Energy Cultivation Platform, he upgraded the Orange Torch Ship Hull to lv32. With the help of the lv32 Ghost Energy Cultivation Platform, his Guidance Technique was close to reaching the limit of lv31.
However, just as he was intent on advancing his Guidance Technique straight to the peak of lv31, a hissing sound disturbed his plan.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Looking at the white mini serpent on his shoulder, Song Chi raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"You're about to advance to the Fourth Rank again?"
Previously, due to the sequence task, the Cold Moon Snow Python had forcibly suppressed its urge to advance, resulting in more than a decade passing before its second opportunity for promotion. This time, Song Chi certainly wouldn't refuse.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The mini form of the Cold Moon Snow Python transmitted its thoughts again, and Song Chi quickly received new information.
"The success rate of your advancement will be higher in a snowy environment?"
Hearing the information transmitted by the little creature itself, he pondered for a moment.
He had originally planned to find a spot in the Sky Rush Valley for the little one to attempt advancement. After all, the Chenxing Yang Continent was a 5th tier Starry Sea Floating Land, any random place would be more than sufficient for an entity to break through to the Fourth Rank.
But if a snowy environment provided a special bonus, then his previous plan naturally had to change.
While the bloodline potential of the Cold Moon Snow Python was not weak, this did not mean that advancing to the Fourth Rank was as easy as eating and drinking. Song Chi would satisfy its needs as much as possible to enhance its chances of success.
After opening the detailed map of the Chenxing Yang Continent provided by Song Yufeng, he quickly determined three suitable locations.
Sheathed Snowfield, Frost Valley, Polar Wasteland.
As for which location to choose specifically, that decision required personal inspection of each.
Thanks to an additional translocation device, Song Chi visited these three places in just one day and eventually chose the Polar Wasteland.
The Polar Wasteland was located at the northernmost end of the Chenxing Yang Continent, perpetually frosty and a vast permafrost belt spanning over a hundred million square kilometers.
The reason for choosing this place was not only the Cold Moon Snow Python's own preference for it but also because it was one of the few barren belts on the Chenxing Floating Land. Combined with the astonishingly thick permafrost, this area was rarely frequented by people. Therefore, even if the Cold Moon Snow Python caused a great commotion during its subsequent advancement, it was unlikely to be detected.
Polar Wasteland, above the Vault of Heaven.
Capitalizing on the now Purple Quality upgraded component, the Void Membrane, Song Chi unworriedly suspended the Cangqiong above the firmament. Of course, the main reason was to oversee the entire wasteland to minimize any danger.
"Go ahead!"
At his command, the Cold Moon Snow Python excitedly burst from the warship.
Once it left the Cangqiong, its mini form began to change drastically, quickly transforming into a white serpent more than a kilometer long.
The body of the snake exuded a formidable pressure, its mouth continuously roaring, as if proclaiming its presence to the entire outside world.
As it plummeted all the way down, the Cold Moon Snow Python eventually coiled itself atop an iceberg below.
As copious amounts of Floating Land Origin infused into its body and it howled to the sky, that domineering and wild energy belonged to the Fourth Rank Level. That unruly energy was continuously baptizing its body and even its divine soul was significantly affected.
At the same time, a vast amount of Ice Law emanated from within it, forming numerous ice crystals at the summit of the mountain, giving the impression that the entire sky was frozen over.
Watching this spectacle, Song Chi in the high skies already had his answer; he knew that the Cold Moon Snow Python's advancement was now 80 percent certain. Unless something major happened, failure was unlikely.
As time passed, increasingly intense life pressure spread all around. It was the essence of a Third Rank entity continuously transforming towards the Fourth Rank, and the imposing presence of a Fourth Rank lifeform gradually thickened throughout the world.
Inside the Cangqiong, Song Chi's brows suddenly furrowed, as the radar screen indicated a warship rapidly approaching.
The key point was that this warship was over three thousand kilometers long.
"A Zhulu Warship!"
Song Chi's expression turned somber as he internally complained.
This Polar Wasteland wasn't under anyone's jurisdiction and had rarely been trodden upon for hundreds of years. But coincidentally, during the final stages of advancement, it was discovered...
