54 The Secret of the Sacred Flame Insignia (2/2)
After the Leader of the 34th generation of the Ming Clan, the Leader of the 37th generation was also a rare talent, and his achievements were only inferior to the 34th generation Leader.
He had looked into the Sacred Flame Insignia for over 10 years when he realized that the Sacred Flame Insignia was not as simple as it appeared to be on the surface. In reality, the six pieces of the Sacred Flame Insignia was not complete. From what he had hypothesized, there was likely another piece of the Sacred Flame Insignia that was still somewhere out there.
In order to solve the obscured mystery of thousands of years, the Leader of the 37th generation of the Ming Clan travelled far to the western regions to look for clues along the way, and even visited the descendants of the legendary old hermit who had casted the Sacred Flame Insignia. It was only then did he find out that the Sacred Flame Insignia had not been casted by the old hermit, but was rather obtained by chance.
Back then, the old hermit had obtained six pieces of the Sacred Flame Insignia and had a great feeling that they were magical. Thus, he labeled them as treasures and engraved his lifetime of knowledge into the Sacred Flame Insignia.
However, the old hermit did not know that the Sacred Flame Insignia he had obtained was incomplete. Hence, after he had spread the Sacred Flame Insignia, everyone in the world had always thought that there were only six pieces.
Although the mystery of the old hermit and the Sacred Flame Insignia had been solved, it had cut off the clue to finding the complete Sacred Flame Insignia. However, it was fortunate that the old hermit had told his descendants the place in which he had obtained the six pieces of the Sacred Flame Insignia.
Just based on these traces, the leader of the 37th generation of the Ming Clan had to search for 18 years, before he found the last piece of the Sacred Flame Insignia.
Mo Wen was overwhelmed with emotion as he looked at the seven pieces of the Sacred Flame Insignia in his hands. Although the expansion of the Ming Clan today had been gradually maturing and becoming more perfect as it established a system, there was no denying the countless number of ancestors who had sacrificed and put in a lot of hard work. It was a perfect representation of the saying that the predecessors dug the well for the descendants to drink the water from.
Thinking back to the depiction in the personal letter from Chang Qingfeng, Mo Wen started to assemble the seven pieces of the Sacred Flame Insignia with great agility. In the blink of an eye, the seven pieces of the Sacred Flame Insignia had been formed into one entity. The gaps between the pieces were tightly sealed and it seemed like a single entity with no hints or traces of it being put together from separate pieces.
After being assembled, the Sacred Flame Insignia looked like a hand lever and was at least a foot and a half long. The fiery red color of the glass was shining and sparkling. A ferocious, magical dragon circled on the plate, forcibly taking up space on the amber handle lever. It had a dignified and imposing manner, like the fire dragon totem of Hua Xia Country.
A look of shock flashed through Mo Wen's eyes. The fire dragon looked very lifelike and seemed to be alive. It simply had the form of the magical dragon of the totem of Hua Xia Country. How could a sacred item that was passed down from the western regions be carved with the totem of an ancient eastern country?
However, he thought about it again and it became clearer to him. Perhaps that item was something that was being passed down from the ancient eastern country. After hundreds of years of being passed around, it had once again found its way back to the ancient eastern country.
Just as Chang Qingfeng had said in the personal letter, although the leader of the 37th generation of the Ming Clan had found the seventh piece of the Sacred Flame Insignia, he still hadn't figured out who the exact person was who had casted the Sacred Flame Insignia.
Early on in the western regions before Manichaeism had been set up, the Sacred Flame Insignia had already existed on earth. It was also due to sheer coincidence that they had obtained it.
Mo Wen grasped on to the fiery red amber hand lever and his palm exerted a slight amount of strength. A crack rung out.
Suddenly, a clear voice spread through the entire secret chamber. It was loud and clear, like a dragon.
A sword suddenly extended from the front segment of the fiery-red amber hand lever that was at least two feet long. It was similarly made of the semi-translucent fiery-red amber, however, there were cold rays dancing about and anyone could see its incisiveness.
At the same time, the temperature in the secret chamber had seemingly risen by quite a bit. After the appearance of the sword, there was a continuous emanating of boiling heat.
”Such a good Sacred Fire Sword. It is indeed the world's most divine weapon.”
Mo Wen was amazed as he looked at the Sacred Fire Sword in his hands. This sword simply exceeded the level of a normal divine weapon and gave people a feeling of awe.
It was rumored that the sword was a divine item passed down from the God of Fire of Ming Zun. It symbolized brightness, kindness, and represented the God of Fire getting rid of evil amongst people.
With Mo Wen's knowledge, he naturally did not think that the Sacred Fire Sword was a divine item passed down by the God of Fire. However, since the origination of this item was unusual, he could almost be sure of it.
