Chapter 578 - 330: Plotting to Slay the Nation-Stabilizing Realm, Obtaining the Mysterious Exotic Flame (Part 3)

Not only that, this cover is also a Storage Space Treasure.

In terms of space size, it ranks first among the many Storage Treasures on Chu Ming, with a space size of seventeen zhang, terrifying as such.

Speaking purely of space size, the largest of his individual Storage Treasures is only ten zhang.

In terms of mystery and usability, this Dark Flame Black Fire Shield surpasses the incomplete Golden Fragments, becoming the top Storage Treasure.

The Golden Fragments are certainly extraordinary, but after all, they are just fragments, and the Sword Qi that originally greatly aided him can at most threaten the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, somewhat insufficient compared to the current Chu Ming.

Moreover, the Dark Flame Black Fire Shield not only has a space size of seventeen zhang, but its defensive power is also unmatched by the Golden Fragments.

Of course, stepping out of the realm of Storage Treasures, the Black Gold Sword, the Nether Witch Horde’s Garrison Treasure the Nether Witch Banner, and the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp are somewhat stronger than the Dark Flame Black Fire Shield.

After storing the Fire Shield, he continued to inspect the internal treasures.

Luo Mu, as an elder of the Black Flame Sect, naturally possessed extremely astonishing treasures in his space.

Chu Ming couldn’t even be bothered to look at the Low Tier treasures; only those above Tier Five could catch his eye.

However, there were just more Tier Five Treasures, and none above Tier Six were found.

Besides treasures and elixirs, the most valuable were the Secret Techniques, Primordial Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and jade slips among them.

There were simply too many jade slips for him to go through quickly, nor could he deduce their contents in a short time, hence he organized them for later perusal at leisure.

Having checked all internal items, the next treasure was the second Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp.

According to his grandmaster, the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp was originally a National Treasure of the Qin Dynasty, but because his grandmaster Ji Wujiang and the Emperor Min were not Primordial Qi Warriors, it could only be driven roughly.

However, based on information from the Black and White Divine Palace members Ming Feng and Ming Yu, as well as Luo Mu of the Black Flame Sect in the Celestial Veil Kingdom, the true value of the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp lies in the Cyan Flame Immortal’s inheritance it contains.

He extended his Primordial Consciousness to envelop this Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp for examination.

This lamp also had a mark left by Luo Mu through refining, but since Luo Mu was dead, Chu Ming, unlike with the first lamp, did not take long to successfully refine it.

For this lamp, it took him only half a moment to destroy Luo Mu’s mark successfully.

With two ancient lamps in hand, he immersed his Primordial Consciousness into them simultaneously.

He wanted to explore what exactly the so-called Immortal inheritance was.

However.

After spending another half moment, despite using various methods like Primordial Consciousness, Primordial Techniques, Sword Gourd Spirit, and Book and Painting Realm, he still couldn’t find any trace of the Immortal inheritance in the two ancient lamps.

"It seems that all three Cyan Stone Ancient Lamps need to be gathered."

From Luo Mu’s scheming, first letting Qu Yaan infiltrate the Divine Mystery Bureau’s Black Tower in Xirong County for decades, then secretly controlling the Blood Evil Sect to seize Pingzhong County and Chi’an County, if not for his grandmaster Ji Wujiang’s appearance to first reclaim Chi’an County, all three Cyan Stone Ancient Lamps might have fallen into Luo Mu’s hands.

Thus, it could be inferred that gathering all three lamps was necessary to discern any clue about the inheritance.

Immortal inheritance...

Chu Ming gazed at the two ancient lamps suspended in front of him, with increasingly deep eyes.

After contemplating for a moment, he lightly waved his sleeve and put away the two lamps.

Not counting the Immortal inheritance potentially hidden within, the potent abilities of the two lamps themselves were particularly astounding, and when driven at full power, he felt they were even more formidable than the Nether Witch Banner and the Black Gold Sword.

Thus, he resolved to find a way to obtain the third Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp as well.

However, in his plan, the third Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp was not to be contested directly but rather disguised as Ming Feng, and with his Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister, head to Chi’an County to compete for it.

With the addition of the third lamp, and by revealing the location of one lamp in the Nether Witch Horde and one in the Black Flame Sect of the Celestial Veil Kingdom, they would first direct the duo towards the Nether Witch Horde in the Nine Hordes Kingdom, letting the Nine Hordes draw a wave of enmity.

Moreover, by designing a scenario that made Ming Feng’s Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister falsely believe Ming Feng had died at the hands of the Black Flame Sect of the Celestial Veil Kingdom, his plan would basically succeed.

If the plan succeeded, the enmity of killing Ming Feng would be completely redirected away from Xirong County.

With this in mind, Chu Ming released his Primordial Consciousness to envelop the last treasure, that black flame akin to a flame.

The black flame was as dark as ink, with subtle shadowy shapes within, reminding him of a special flame akin to the Red Flame Roasting Flame, the Red Flame Race’s treasure.

"Dark Flame Heart Flame..."

This black flame closely resembled the Dark Flame Heart Flame in traits but only very similar, not identical.

The true Dark Flame Heart Flame is a flame more formidable than the Red Flame Roasting Flame, yet this flame before him couldn’t even match shoulder to shoulder with the Red Flame Roasting Flame.

His Primordial Consciousness invaded the black flame, leaving a mark, and without much effort, he took control of the flame. Instantly, information about the black flame flowed into his Sea of Consciousness.

What surprised him somewhat was that the black flame was not the Dark Flame Heart Flame, yet resonated with it.

This Little Black Flame is a result of a special method by the Black Flame Sect, extracted from the Dark Flame Heart Flame’s essence, possessing part of its prowess.

And the essence of the Dark Flame Heart Flame is indeed within the Black Flame Sect.

At this moment, its state, akin to a candle about to extinguish, was because the black flame served as Luo Mu’s life-saving measure. After an intense battle with Chu Ming, it became weak to the point of near extinction due to excessive consumption.

Chu Ming gently touched it, his Primordial Consciousness guiding the black flame to fly into his palm, conveying a scorching yet chilling breath through it.

He checked all of Luo Mu’s remnants, and each use of the black flame would diminish its power. To restore it, he would have to return to the Black Flame Sect to nurture it anew with the Dark Flame Heart Flame essence.
