Chapter 588 - 333: Star Sea Battles Nine Palace Starlight! Identity Exposed!

Night sky... Endless stars...

The painting, Chu Ming was too familiar with it.

The National Treasure of the Great Qin Dynasty, the Star Golden List!

The Star Golden List not only allows one’s name to ascend on the list, but also grants enlightenment and enables combat.

As a royal bloodline of the Qin Dynasty, Chang Qin Jiumin could naturally borrow the power of the Golden List.

However, his understanding of the Golden List was insufficient, so he could only use part of its power.

This is also why Ji Wujiang didn’t allow Chang Qin Jiumin to go to the Celestial Veil Kingdom; although he had the National Treasure, he could not wield its full power.

Yet, even this partial power allowed the painting’s power to block the ’Ming Feng’ Black and White Golden Sword.

Chu Ming looked at the painting projection, his eyes deep.

In truth, he had a much deeper understanding of the Star Golden List than Chang Qin Jiumin.

In other words, with just a thought, he could make the painting projection blocking the Black and White Golden Sword vanish, or even counterattack.

But he couldn’t do that.

Today’s plan was to assist Ming Lu and Ming Feng in seizing the third Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp, not to slaughter.

And his task was simply to entangle Chang Qin Jiumin, allowing Third Senior Sister to refine the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp.

Like this.

Ji Wujiang and Second Senior Brother Ming Si were in a fierce battle, while ’Ming Feng’ used the Black and White Golden Sword to hold off Chang Qin Jiumin.

The four powerful warriors clashed, turning the skies above Chi’an County into a thunderous sea.

Flashes of lightning and roaring thunder shook the heavens and earth, with terrifying explosions occurring one after another.

Below, in Chi’an County.

Countless people looked at the sky in terror, while those with quick wits and a cool head were already grabbing their valuables and fleeing towards the city outskirts.

"Master, what level of battle could this be...?"

"National Guardian Realm!"

"Ancestor, all the elders unanimously propose relocating the sect to Lindu County!"

"Alright, arrange it quickly."

"..."

To protect the county city below, Ji Wujiang and Chang Qin Jiumin were forced to move the battlefield up into the ninth sky.

Ming Si and Ming Feng intended the same; the farther the battlefield, the better, giving Third Senior Sister Ming Lu time to refine the Ancient Lamp.

The four warriors fought from dawn to dusk, and from dusk to dawn.

In the end, even Second Senior Brother Ming Si couldn’t help but change color.

He never expected that a Sea of Qi Realm warrior from an outlying area could battle him for so long.

Ji Wujiang was also shocked; the primordial techniques and secret arts displayed by Ming Si were unlike anything he had ever seen, leaving him struggling to cope.

Looking over at the battle between ’Ming Feng’ and Chang Qin Jiumin.

Chang Qin Jiumin relied on the Star Golden List’s painting projection, sometimes defending, sometimes attacking, and often consuming elixirs.

Mostly defending and consuming elixirs, with less attacking.

He had no choice; his understanding of the Star Golden List was lacking, and even using part of its power was enormously taxing on his Heart Spirit and Qi Blood.

On the other hand, ’Ming Feng’s’ frequency of primordial techniques kept decreasing, and the power of the Black and White Golden Sword artifact began to wane.

Yet, it remained as unceasing as a river.

And this was merely Chu Ming acting to match ’Ming Feng’s’ strength.

Using his true methods, the battle likely would have ended at the very start.

Of the four, Chu Ming was actually the most at ease.

Perhaps not the most at ease; in fact, there was someone even more relaxed: Third Senior Sister Ming Lu, who was refining the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp.

The Sword Gourd Spirit probed, confirming that Third Senior Sister indeed excelled in refining techniques, reaching a critical moment in just over a day.

Thinking of the refining secret techniques left by Luo Mu from the Celestial Veil Kingdom’s Black Flame Sect, which supposedly took ten days to half a month.

Upon reflection, it was understandable; the Black and White Divine Palace, suspected to be a great power of the Central Continent, couldn’t be compared to a single sect in the Western Continent.

Examining the various secret arts and primordial techniques left by Luo Mu and Ming Feng, the profound differences were evident.

Based on his probing, Chu Ming estimated that in half a day, Third Senior Sister would successfully refine the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp.

If things continued, it would only take half a day for the plan to succeed.

But as always, reality is ever-changing.

Boom! Boom!

Just moments after Chu Ming’s investigation, the Black Tower exploded violently.

Outside the Black Tower, Long Qin Nianqi, who had just recently stabilized her National Guardian Realm, arrived.

Long Qin Nianqi was decisive, asking no questions, saying nothing, launching her attack before her arrival.

She wielded a golden bow, the bowstring drawn like a full moon.

Whoosh!

A golden arrow shot through the air, directly targeting Third Senior Sister Ming Lu, who was refining the ancient lamp beneath the Black Tower.

Ming Lu’s eyebrows arched, her body unmoving, as she lightly waved her delicate white hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Blades of cold light appeared.

Boom! Boom!

Intense clashes erupted, exploding instantly.

The cold light easily shattered Long Qin Nianqi’s golden arrow.

Third Senior Sister Ming Lu was a formidable Late Stage Nascent Qi Realm warrior; if not for focusing most of her Heart Spirit on refining the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp, it wouldn’t have just been dispersing a golden arrow.

With her first arrow futile, Long Qin Nianqi quickly shot five or six more arrows, each aiming for critical points.

"Hmph!"

Third Senior Sister grunted softly, again using only a slight portion of her Heart Spirit to destroy the attacks.

Then, seemingly annoyed by Long Qin Nianqi, she pointed to the void.

Buzz!

In an instant, a massive disk appeared in the Black Tower, where intricate black and white primordial patterns converged, filling every inch of the Black Tower with terrifying pressure.

A primordial technique, Black and White Nine Palace Array!

Boom!

The primordial technique hit directly, seemingly about to engulf Long Qin Nianqi entirely.

In reality, unless an unexpected event occurred, the newly advanced Long Qin Nianqi was unlikely to escape Third Senior Sister Ming Lu’s move.
