Chapter 332: Chapter 269: Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Sword Aura

"High-temperature combustion material... special flame..."

Both are things Chu Ming does not possess.

So, the idea of using this material to refine the Elemental Shield Shuttle might have to be set aside for now.

He lightly brushes his sleeve, puts away the melting furnace and the primordial artifact materials, sits cross-legged, and takes out three items.

The gold plate formed by fusing three golden fragments, the unfused golden fragment from Jiaang Jing, and the black bead obtained from killing Baili Xinghua, which should now be called the white bead.

He first picked up the white bead, using his own Qi Blood Sensing to communicate. The amount of Qi Blood stored in the white bead is equivalent to the total Qi and Blood Power in his body.

Connecting the Qi Blood with the white bead, at this moment, Chu Ming’s Qi and Blood Power doubles.

Feeling the surging Qi and Blood Power, his gaze gradually solidified, until he could manipulate the Qi and Blood Power within the white bead just as he does with his own.

After a brief meditation, he picked up Jiaang Jing’s golden fragment, holding it quietly in his palm.

Tonight, he plans to attempt using the doubled Qi and Blood Power to break the restraint of this golden fragment.

Both sides of Qi Blood are connected, heart and spirit unify.

Fresh red oozes from the palm, staining the golden fragment.

Following that, a terrifying force of Qi and Blood Power, like a mountain torrent and tsunami, gushes towards the golden fragment.

Bang!

The Qi and Blood Power savagely strikes the golden fragment, one hit after another.

At a certain moment.

Crack, crack...

It seems like something is shattered on the golden fragment.

Chu Ming’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, increasing the impact of Qi and Blood Power.

Crack, crack...

The fragmentation on the golden fragment becomes more severe.

Suddenly.

Crack!

This time, the sound is a crisp rupture.

The restraint on the golden fragment is broken!

Chu Ming feels a slight joy in his heart, intending to communicate with his own Qi Blood.

But in that fleeting moment.

As soon as the Qi and Blood Power touches the interior of the golden fragment, a frightening golden light splits out with thunderous speed.

It is a golden light, akin to a golden sword, fierce and swift.

Every hair on Chu Ming’s body stands on end as a suffocating feeling rushes towards him.

At the critical moment, he simultaneously calls out the Silver Moon Heart Mirror and the red pendant given by his master.

Clang——

The golden light fiercely splits out, slashing onto the Silver Moon Heart Mirror, sending Chu Ming flying backward, crashing into the mountain.

"Cough, cough..."

The golden light dissipates, Chu Ming crawls out from the pile of rubble, with fresh red spilling from the corner of his mouth, looking rather battered.

He lowers his head to look at his chest; his robe is shattered, and there’s a slight crack on the Silver Moon Heart Mirror that protected his chest.

The power of the golden sword aura almost broke the Silver Moon Heart Mirror that could withstand an attack from the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection?

Chu Ming wipes the fresh red from the corner of his mouth, returns to his previous position and lowered his gaze to see the golden fragment stained with blood, without any golden sword aura.

With Qi Blood Sensing, the golden fragment... seems to have lost its restraint.

He didn’t touch the golden fragment but first tried to communicate using his heart spirit...

Buzz!

In an instant, the golden fragment on the ground emitted golden light.

At the same time, the gold plate on his body fused with three golden fragments also emitted golden light.

Two powerful golden lights intermingled...

Yet it’s not quite a fusion, more like a collision, as if they were trying to compete for dominance.

Originally one entity, why compete for supremacy?

Soon, Chu Ming had the answer.

The golden fragment whose restraint was broken with the assistance of the white bead successfully devoured the larger gold plate.

Both being golden fragments, yet there’s a hierarchy among them.

Clearly, the golden fragment he communicated with his own Qi Blood is the master fragment.

Four fragments fused into one square gold plate, Qi Blood interlinked, heart spirit communicated.

The World in the Palm grew from the previous three zhang large to six zhang.

This means the space within the master golden fragment is originally three zhang in size.

Most importantly, the master golden fragment is not only a storage space, but also contains a Sword Qi!

Through heart spirit communication, Chu Ming can clearly sense the Sword Qi hidden within the golden fragment.

This Sword Qi, having just been released, its potency had sharply declined, but as time passed, it began to condense anew.

Moreover, as the master golden fragment absorbs three golden fragments, the upper limit of the Sword Qi expands also.

In other words, the Sword Qi in the golden fragment within his palm, when fully accumulated, its power won’t just leave a slight trace on the Silver Moon Heart Mirror.

The original Sword Qi could penetrate the defense of the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection, so what about the Sword Qi whose power doubled?

Could it pose a threat to... the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm?

Chu Ming’s gaze grew profoundly deep.

The two true mighty weapons on him.

One is the strange red pendant given by his master, capable of resisting a strike from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm!

The other is the square gold plate, able to unleash a Sword Qi threatening to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm!

"One for attack, one for defense..."

Holding the gold plate and the red pendant, Chu Ming sat alone on the broken mountain top, watching as red clouds seeped from the eastern mist...

...

As dawn broke.

Chu Ming and the other two had breakfast, each disguised themselves, and left the manor, entering Qin Capital early in the morning.

Qin Capital truly worthy of being the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty, its bustling surpassed any city Chu Ming had seen in two lifetimes.

He controlled the Sword Gourd Spirit within a ten-meter radius around him as he walked on the spacious bluestone avenue.

Qin Capital boasts many experts, including hidden high-tier Primordial Qi Warriors at the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm or those condensing Primordial Qi Seed. He dared not recklessly use the Sword Gourd Spirit.

"Over here."

Meng Zhen led the way in front, followed by Chu Ming and Jiang Zhan.

After crossing several bustling streets, the trio reached their destination—Xiangi Mansion.

Qin Capital is divided into the outer city, inner city, and Imperial City.

The Imperial City goes without saying; it’s the region where the imperial palace is located. Ordinary people are not only forbidden from entering but even approaching it poses the risk of being executed on the spot.

The inner city, on the other hand, is the area where the dignitaries and noble residents live, much more lenient compared to the Imperial City, with Xiang Mansion situated in the inner east city.

From a distance, Xiang Mansion appeared quite grandiose, with high walls and a courtyard, and a vermilion gate.
