Chapter 690 - 358: True Intent Perfection (Part 3)

As the strongest person in the Seven-Star Kingdom, Han Court truly possessed many treasures. Apart from this First-class Innate Spiritual Treasure, his storage space also contained another Second-class Innate Spiritual Treasure and a Third-class Innate Spiritual Treasure.

There were even more elixirs, classics, and other items.

There was also a large amount of materials, including high-tier exotic beast parts and many minerals and treasure medicines, some of which Chu Ming could not even recognize.

After browsing through the classics on him, it was revealed that most of these treasures were obtained by Han Court in the Ghostly Sea.

Besides that, there were nearly twenty thousand grains of Star Sand, an astonishing wealth.

After categorizing all the treasures, Chu Ming calculated, he already possessed one First-class Innate Spiritual Treasure, three Second-class Innate Spiritual Treasures, and six to seven Third-class Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Altogether with the Star Sand, it’s almost forty thousand grains.

This trip to the Seven-Star Sword Tomb can be considered a great fortune.

Calming his emotions, Chu Ming picked up a brown round bead.

This bead is the source that triggered a series of events, another True Intent Soldier Embryo held by the Seven-Star Kingdom.

He took out the ’Tanghulu’, which had already fused with three True Intent Soldier Embryos, and used his heart spirit to communicate with both simultaneously.

Hua——

Both the ’Tanghulu’ and the brown round bead immediately emitted light, conveying information about the fusion of the same origin.

Chu Ming did not intervene, allowing the two to attract each other, as light erupted and fused...

After half a moment, the dazzling light disappeared, leaving only the ’Tanghulu,’ now strung with three round beads, in front of him.

Simultaneously, Chu Ming felt the Fierce Evil True Intent within the ’Tanghulu’ strengthen.

He immediately split his heart spirit, sitting cross-legged to meditate.

A huge shadow of Fierce Evil True Intent emerged behind him, an imposing pressure spreading in all directions, making the sword qi in the Sword Abyss retreat.

Immersed in meditation, Chu Ming appeared like a fearsome deity of the mortal world, intimidating all.

In this way, he meditated for three days before opening his eyes again.

The Fierce Evil True Intent hidden within his body, he was now gentle and natural, starkly different from the black-clothed youth’s aura after three days of retreat.

"Fierce Evil True Intent, First Layer Perfection!"

Through meditation with the ’Tanghulu’ that integrated four True Intent Soldier Embryos, he finally comprehended the Fierce Evil True Intent to the First Layer Perfection, his first comprehended Perfect True Intent.

"As I initially guessed, the True Intent Soldier Embryos help me comprehend Fierce Evil True Intent. The Destruction, Silent Extinction, and Golden Gang Indestructible True Intentions are unaffected and still require personal understanding."

As evidence, he could accelerate the comprehension of the Fierce Evil True Intent by collecting True Intent Soldier Embryos of the same origin.

Glancing at the ’Tanghulu,’ Chu Ming stored it in his storage space, then looked up at the Sword Platform, falling into deep thought:

"The Great Qin Dynasty obtained the Blood Bead, the Jingyue Kingdom the Vine Stick, the Yiyang Kingdom the third piece, and the Seven-Star Kingdom the fourth..."

"Could it be that each of the Thirty-Three Nations on the Ancient Profound Western Continent possesses a True Intent Soldier Embryo?"

He had this conjecture when he acquired the third True Intent Soldier Embryo in the Yiyang Kingdom, and obtaining the fourth from Han Court confirmed it further.

"Thirty-Three Nations... True Intent Soldier Embryos..."

Chu Ming furrowed his brow lightly.

He pondered how the True Intent Soldier Embryos were created, who placed them in the Thirty-Three Nations, and why they were scattered across the Thirty-Three Nations.

"Thousand-year calamity... Ten-thousand-year catastrophe..."

"Are the two possibly related?"

His master Ji Wujiang once mentioned them, and he also saw references in various ancient texts about the thousand-year calamity.

The True Intent Soldier Embryos appeared suddenly at this time, having never surfaced before.

Considering the soldier embryos’ preciousness and purpose, Chu Ming had reason to suspect they were connected to the thousand-year calamity.

Even if not directly linked, True Intent Soldier Embryos must certainly play a part in the thousand-year calamity.

"True Intent Soldier Embryos... catastrophe... melting furnace prison..."

He recalled a phrase from the Cyan Cloud Secret Record.

"Heaven and Earth as a furnace, all spirits as material, forging Innate Treasures."

"Treasures..."

As he connected various clues, Chu Ming’s furrowed brow deepened.

If his speculations were correct, there must be a terrifying force manipulating behind this world.

"Celestial Veil Kingdom... Ancient Immortal Kingdom... Divine Martial Kingdom..." he muttered, shaking his head gently.

"Black and White Divine Palace... Celestial Martial Saint Hall..."

"And the Nine Heavens Alliance, where Old Man Shi and the Silver-haired Elder are..."

Chu Ming attempted to find something from these significant entities.

But he couldn’t come up with much.

Not to mention the Black and White Divine Palace and Celestial Martial Saint Hall far in the Central Continent, he knew little even about the Ancient Immortal Kingdom and Divine Martial Kingdom of the Ancient Profound Western Continent.

As for the Nine Heavens Alliance, his knowledge was just as limited.

After contemplating for a long time, he reached no conclusions.

"Even if I could deduce some things, what could I change with my current strength?"

Shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Chu Ming sat cross-legged again, immersing his heart spirit into his Sea of Consciousness.

The previously calm four great lakes simultaneously rippled.

"It’s pointless to overthink. Only by becoming strong enough can I face more unknowns."

Optimizing cultivation techniques... deducing divine techniques... evolving secret techniques...

Chu Ming fully immersed himself in cultivation.

....

Seven-Star Kingdom, Imperial City.

The Seventh Star Lord Pang Chong sat in the grand hall, with the two most powerful families of the Seven-Star Kingdom, the Han and Xing Families, below him.

"It’s been over ten days since Star Lord Han and Star Lord Xing Man entered the Sword Tomb, never has it taken so long. Is it possible for Star Lord Pang to communicate with the two Star Lords?"

The current patriarch of the Han Family asked respectfully.

"Star Lord Xing Man mentioned before entering the Seven-Star Sword Tomb that if he doesn’t come out in two months, we should seek out Star Lord Pang," the patriarch of the Xing Family slightly bowed, his attitude not overly respectful.

Pang Chong is merely the Seventh Star Lord, with his power only at the early Sea of Qi Realm. Although the patriarchs are only at the Fifth Realm’s Marrow Cleansing Realm Perfection, they have the means to kill someone in the Sixth Realm.
