342 Longevity and an Alien Appearance (1/2)
The fact remained that very few people were able to recognize the Sacred Flame Insignia today. This was a pity, as those seven sacred flames represented thousands of years' worth of the strongest divine items in the Ming Clan!
Demoness Gong was actually not all that surprised by its appearance. This was because she had long guessed that Mo Wen had attained the inheritance of the Ming Clan. Hence, it was reasonable that the Sacred Flame Insignia would make an appearance again.
However, when she saw those seven sacred flames, there was an unspeakable solemness within her. Those treasures had been passed down through the Ming Clan for thousands of years. There had been no news of it for hundreds of years, but it had finally been given the chance to display its brilliance once again!
Jun Wulei could barely believe his eyes. He was astounded that such a legendary and sacred item had actually made an appearance! It simply felt too surreal.
”Just what is going on?” He quickly looked over to Demoness Gong with sparkling eyes. He had finally picked up on the fact that she knew some things that he did not.
Could it be that she already knew about the Sacred Flame Insignia?
”The person who possesses the Sacred Flame Insignia is the clan leader of the Ming Clan. Not only has Mo Wen Cultivated the Nine Yin Divine Technique, he also Cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique.” Demoness Gong said the sentence emotionlessly. However, she knew that Jun Wulei would understand what she was implying.
Jun Wulei exhaled a breath of cold air. His eyes widened in shock. The Sacred Flame Insignia and the Nine Yang Divine Technique had appeared at the same time. As a successor of the Left Wisdom King's bloodline, he should have instantly known that this meant that the impartations of the Ming Clan would live to see the world again!
All along, the Cultivation of the Nine Yang Divine Technique was a hallmark of the Ming Clan Leader. This was because, within the Ming Clan, only the clan leader had the right to cultivate it.
Someone who had cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Technique and even possessed the Sacred Flame Insignia had appeared in the world, which could only mean that, after hundreds of years, the Ming Clan Leader had finally descended upon the Earth once again!
”You've known Mo Wen's true identity all along?” A bright look was evident in Jun Wulei's eyes, as he kept them trained on Demoness Gong. He knew deep inside that, if this news were to be spread, it would be a huge shock.
Previously, he had still found it odd that Mo Wen went to train on other martial arts, even after cultivating the Nine Yin Divine Technique. In light of this, it was no wonder that the other martial art that he was cultivating was the Nine Yang Divine Technique. Cultivating the two divine techniques simultaneously had only happened once in all of the long history of the Ming Clan!
”No matter what, his future will definitely be extraordinary. As for now, please keep this a secret.” Demoness Gong said calmly.
After all, Mo Wen was still impressionable and had yet to grow up. If news about this were to get out, it would affect him too much. As for Jun Wulei's thoughts on the sudden appearance of the Ming Clan Leader, she did not want to interfere. Everyone was entitled to their own ideas and choices.
Other than her and Jun Wulei, no one in the three major mountain ranges should be able to recognize the Royal Flame Insignia. Hence, she was not afraid about this fact being leaked by anyone else.
”I will keep it a secret,” Jun Wulei inhaled deeply and said, a complicated expression spreading across his face.
...
The seven sacred flames circled around Mo Wen slightly. Then, one of them fell into Mo Wen's hands. Soon after, so did the second, the third, the fourth…
In the blink of an eye, all of the flames had completely merged with one another to form a bright, glowing longsword, which had turned the entire sky red.
”What is that?” A look of surprise flashed across the Elder of the Jiang Clan's eyes.
He looked at the longsword in Mo Wen's hand, shocked. He did not know why, but fear had unknowingly crept into his heart. It was as though that flaming longsword could take his life at anytime.
Not only did he feel like something was not right, but the Ming Jiang Sword in his hands was letting out waves of cries and was vibrating non-stop. It seemed to be completely unstable.
The Integrated Sacred Flame Sword did not emit any frightening aura, so it didn't feel as fierce or intimidating as the Ming Jiang Sword. However, it had planted a frighteningly dangerous sense in the hearts of everyone, so much that they could not control the chill that had washed over their bodies.
As Mo Wen held the Sacred Flame Sword, the reddish-gold lights were flickering furiously on his body. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly into a cold smile. With a flash of his figure, he appeared before the Elder of the Jiang Clan. The Sacred Flame Sword in his hand then slashed down into a direct cut.
It was just a simple cut, having no fanciful martial arts to attached to it, but that one cut directly penetrated through the air and lit up half of the crimson sky. In fact, it had caused even granite on the ground to melt into boiling magma.
The skies and ground looked as though they had turned into a furnace. The heat was scary, causing the surroundings to become engulfed in flames.
It was such a scary single cut, even the Elder of the Jiang Clan turned pale with fright and could not believe his eyes. Previously, he had pressured Mo Wen with his attack. Yet, now Mo Wen had unleashed this horrifying counterattack.
He gritted his teeth and waved the Ming Jiang Sword. Frightening sword auras were insanely dealt out, knocking onto the Qi of the Sacred Flame Sword. However, the aura of the sword had quickly dissipated, so even its 10 fierce sword auras were no match for that Sacred Flame Sword!
The Elder of the Jiang Clan was so shocked that he lost all of his color. He hurriedly dodged his body to the side, as he could not imagine coming into contact with that Sword of Qi!
However, when he had just attempted to dodge, Mo Wen had silently appeared in front of him once again. Then, he made another cut with the Sacred Flame Sword that was in his hands.
