Outside Of Time

818 Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon, 13 Nascent Souls Success (3)

And these weren’t the greatest uses of the Heavenly Demon Body. Its goal was to replace the calamity!

The heavenly tribulation would continue to grow stronger. If one failed, their nascent soul would be damaged and collapse. However, since the goal was to obtain the heavenly mandate, then… the passing the heavenly tribulation was actually just a formality.

Letting his Heavenly Demon Body transcend the tribulation had the same effect.

If one collapsed, there would be a second, a third…

As long as he succeeded once, the power of the heavenly mandates would descend, and he could use dao mandate art to take it.

This was the style of the Seventh Peak and also Old Master Seventh.

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed as he waved his hand and took out three pill bottles.

The cultivation of the Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon Art required a special item just like how the Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art required a Bizarre Nether Heart.

Firstly, it required all the nascent souls of the cultivator to have appeared and undergone at least one heavenly tribulation, containing some degree of heavenly mandates within them.

This was the foundation.

Next was the items in the three pill bottles.

The first pill bottle contained the corpse of a headless Nascent Soul cultivator of the Bizarre Fiend Race.

Old Master Seventh had searched for a long time before he found one for Xu Qing. After all, this race was rare.

Its effect was to increase Xu Qing’s bizarre nether’s strength, allowing him to snatch the enemy’s nascent souls.

In the second pill bottle was a lump of blood-colored vortex that emitted a holy intent.

This was the marrow that Old Master Seventh had refined from the god fish’s bone. Due to the death of the god in the Immortal Forbidden, it had no owner and could be controlled in peace.

Its method of use was also very special. It required Xu Qing’s Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul to fuse with it. From then on, he could use the power of the Heavenly Dao to extract the heavenly mandates of the enemy’s nascent souls.

The third pill bottle contained 100,000 evil spirits.

Back then, Bai Xiaozhuo had used three fish bones in conjunction with the Purple Green’s dead souls’ location to open a gap in the land of the wicked, causing a large number of evil souls to descend. Although they were quickly teleported to the Ancient Spirit World, there were still some left outside.

Not only were these evil souls terrifyingly ferocious, but they were mixed with a large number of miscellaneous thoughts. Their memories when they were alive and after they died caused them to fall into madness.

Later on, they were found by Old Master Seventh and refined inside this special small bottle.

Once the miscellaneous thoughts of the evil spirits inside were refined, they would be the seeds of the Heavenly Demon Body. Although he would be marked by the land of the wicked after killing too many of these evil spirits, Xu Qing’s body was special. As long as the number wasn’t too great, it was fine.

Xu Qing looked at these and sighed with emotion. He now had a deeper understanding of the words tailor-made.

This Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon Art was equivalent to optimizing all of Xu Qing’s abilities to the greatest extent. After some adjustments, it finally formed a unique exclusive technique.

“I have everything. What I need now is my last nascent soul to transcend the tribulation.” Xu Qing sensed his 13th nascent soul and vaguely sensed that there would be a tribulation in a few days.

“There’s another thing left as well. It’s the refinement of the miscellaneous thoughts and memories of the evil spirits of the land of the wicked.”

Xu Qing picked up the small bottle of the evil spirits and checked it. He felt that the refinement speed was a little slow.

“It will take a few months…” Xu Qing fell silent, and soon, a dark glint appeared in his eyes as he thought of a solution.

Just as he was thinking about the feasibility, his voice transmission jade slip vibrated. After Xu Qing took it out, he saw that the voice transmission was from Marquis Yao.

Xu Qing fell silent for a few breaths before fusing his divine consciousness into it and speaking respectfully.

“Greetings, County Governor.”

Marquis Yao’s voice echoed in his mind.

“Xu Qing.”

“Muye has been contacted.”

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.

“So far, everything is going smoothly. According to our request, Muye will push for the handover of a county of the Heavenly Wind Nation Country to our Fenghai County.”

“However, there are still some problems. This county is a little far from our Fenghai and it’s not bordered. There’s not much meaning to having it.”

Marquis Yao calmly spoke and didn’t say much. After telling Xu Qing about Muye, he chatted with Xu Qing about the current situation in Fenghai County, including the dependence of the nonhuman races and the matter of the Seventh Prince still not returning the three provinces.

He was using his own method to shape Xu Qing’s view of the overall situation.

Throughout the entire process, they didn’t talk about Purple Earth. Xu Qing also didn’t ask. The two of them had an unspoken mutual understanding and Xu Qing’s words were still respectful.

This respect caused Marquis Yao, who was in the Yao Residence, to smile.

He recalled Xu Qing’s past, especially after his identity and status had changed, and realized that throughout it all, Xu Qing seemed to have changed very little.

‘It’s rare to maintain your original principles.’

Marquis Yao mumbled inwardly and ended his conversation with Xu Qing.

Xu Qing put down the jade slip and looked in the direction of the Yao Residence.

Although there were some areas where Marquis Yao’s methods of doing things were debatable, no matter what, such a deep-minded person guarding Fenghai County would still give others a sense of stability.

The prerequisite was that you believed him.

After a long time, Xu Qing retracted his gaze. With Old Master Seventh around, this wasn’t a problem he should think about. Although it was rumored in the external world that his status was extremely high, Xu Qing was very clear that no matter what, he was just a fake Nascent Soul cultivator.

If he took others for granted, he would lose his original principles.

Xu Qing didn’t like such a person. He also didn’t want to become someone he hated.

Hence, he treated everything the same as before. He maintained respect and vigilance and didn’t treat himself as a big shot.

Only in terms of perspective and vision, he made efforts to absorb all the knowledge from the outside world to make himself more complete.

Xu Qing kept the jade slip and closed his eyes to meditate, completely immersing himself in his cultivation.

Just like that, time flowed by.

Three days later, a vortex of tribulation clouds appeared in the sky above the Sword Holding Palace. As it rumbled, a bolt of heavenly lightning suddenly descended, heading straight for the Edict Bearer Hall Xu Qing was in.
