After returning home, Song Chi did not spare a thought for anything else. He plunged straight into the Omni Training Room in the Myriad Heavens Market and continued his Guidance Technique training plan.

His training plan was actually very simple. During the day, he holed up in the market to cultivate the Psionic Guidance Technique. In the hours before bed at night, he visualized the imprinted projection of the mythical mech in his mind. Once his mind could no longer endure, he would finally get a full night of deep sleep.

Amid this fulfilling routine, time passed quickly, and half a month flashed by.

Myriad Heavens Market, All-Attribute Cultivation Room.

Standing in a horse stance, his hands spread flat toward the sky and his eyes tightly shut, Song Chi's muscles trembled faintly. The next second, a series of crackling sounds came from within his body, and an intense tingling sensation swept through him.

Even so, he remained completely still. Only after several minutes, when those strange sensations faded from his body, did Song Chi straighten up, lower his hands, and exit his Psionic Guidance Technique cultivation.

However, it was obvious that the aura he gave off was far more powerful than before. At the same time, the blood and vitality within him churned without end, as though he had inexhaustible strength.

"Only half a month, and my Guidance Technique has already broken through to Lv. 5. It seems the Omni Training Room is even more effective than I imagined."

He excitedly moved through a few motions. Only after fully adjusting to the changes in his body did Song Chi gradually calm down.

Thinking it over carefully, his Lv. 4 Guidance Technique had been stuck for nearly three years. With that accumulation, he had been able to break through to Lv. 5 so smoothly. But breaking through to Lv. 6 afterward clearly would not be something he could accomplish in a short time.

Even if he stayed in this Omni Training Room every moment of every day, it would still take at least half a year or more.

At that thought, the passion that had just filled his heart rapidly cooled.

"This won't do. I still need to buy some high-grade potions to aid my cultivation and raise my training speed as much as possible."

The ultimate purpose of continuously strengthening a Kindling Starship was, in truth, to undergo more frequent and faster evolutions of one's life level, thereby gaining a longer lifespan.

Although Rank-0 citizens of the Kindling Human Civilization had an average lifespan of 140 years, and thirty-year-old Song Chi still had plenty of time ahead of him to improve himself, as a transmigrator, the subconscious influence left by Blue Star in his previous life still filled him with an instinctive sense of urgency. He only wanted to complete his first life evolution as soon as possible.

After reaching Rank 1, he would have a lifespan of two hundred years. Only upon reaching that level could he feel slightly at ease.

After leaving his bedroom, Song Chi headed straight for the bathroom. His Guidance Technique had broken through to Lv. 5, expelling quite a few impurities from his body. He truly could not stand it without washing up.

Just then, Song Chi's father, who was sitting in the living room, suddenly called out to him.

"Come with me to the Kindling Bureau tomorrow. After your first exploration of an alien star domain, you can apply to activate the Kindling Network."

At the words "Kindling Network," Song Chi's eyes lit up. He quickly nodded in agreement.

The Kindling Network was an interstellar communications network developed by the Kindling Human Civilization based on the Kindling Seed itself.

As everyone knew, the network currently prevalent throughout the Kindling Human Civilization was a floating-continent local area network built upon floating continents. It could only be used within a floating continent. Once one left the floating continent and entered the Star Sea, the network would fail completely, making it extremely inconvenient for interstellar travel and exploration.

Yet setting up an interstellar network was simply too difficult. Not only was the cost staggering, but even interstellar base stations built with vast sums of money could be destroyed at any moment by Star Sea storms, alien races, star beasts, star pirates, asteroid collisions, and countless other factors. The maintenance costs were equally unimaginable.

Of course, the most crucial issue was that the Star Sea was simply too vast. The distance between one floating continent and another was often measured in light-years. Simply connecting the networks between two Star Sea Floating Continents was already extraordinarily difficult.

Leaving aside the entire territory of the Kindling Human Civilization, even the Morning Star Duchy, a duchy located at the edge of Kindling Human territory, governed more than ten thousand floating continents. Although there were far fewer life-bearing floating continents, linking every one of them through a network was still an unimaginably difficult task.

But the Kindling Network was different. It was a vast network woven layer upon layer with countless Kindling Seeds as its nodes. Not only did it require no construction resources, it required no maintenance at all, because every node was a Kindling citizen. They could regulate themselves and even grow stronger over time.

It could be said that the reason the Kindling Human Civilization had developed into a high-level civilization in merely several hundred thousand years was not only due to the Kindling Starship's adaptability and its ability to greatly shorten development cycles. It was also directly connected to this unique and nearly impossible-to-crack Kindling Network system.

After taking a comfortable shower, Song Chi once again locked himself in his room and continued cultivating his Guidance Technique and visualizing the mythical mech imprint. Cultivation was like rowing against the current: if one did not advance, one would fall behind. Perseverance was a trait every Kindling captain had to possess. If one wanted a long lifespan, how could one fail even at the simplest and most tedious cultivation?

If that were truly the case, then one should not expect to achieve much on the path of the Guidance Technique in the future. After all, at later stages, the Psionic Guidance Technique required decades of secluded cultivation just to break through to the next level. Those unable to endure solitude could never persist.

The next day, Song Chao took Song Chi out early in the morning. He did not summon the Kindling Starship. They still rode in that Pentium Type-3 Kinetic Flyer.

Compared with a Kindling Starship, a kinetic flyer was naturally much slower. However, due to the various restrictions on a Kindling Starship carrying passengers, and since they were not in much of a hurry, the two still chose the kinetic flyer.
