Chapter 819 - 819 Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon, 13 Nascent Souls Success (4)
819 Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon, 13 Nascent Souls Success (4)
Xu Qing’s 13th nascent soul also rose into the air to welcome the heavenly lightning.
Amidst the rumbling, the power of the lightning tribulation permeated the surroundings of Xu Qing’s nascent soul, transforming into arcs of lightning that scattered in all directions. Immediately after, the second heavenly lightning descended with an even more violent aura.
The intent to kill rose from Xu Qing’s offensive nascent soul. Its gaze was filled with ferocity as it charged straight toward the heavenly tribulation.
The rumbling sound spread in all directions, attracting the attention of everyone in the city, especially those in the Sword Holding Palace. They knew that this was Xu Qing’s Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation. There were a total of three lightning in the first tribulation.
Although the possibility of an accident happening was very small, Old Master Seventh and Zi Xuan looked up from different places and were prepared to help.
The third lightning tribulation descended and enveloped Xu Qing’s nascent soul. As the nascent soul let out a sharp cry, the heavenly tribulation was over. The clouds and fog scattered in all directions and multicolored light descended, forming the aura of heavenly mandate that surged into Xu Qing’s 13th nascent soul.
This time, the aura of heavenly mandate that descended was much less compared to the turmoil during the calamity brought by the Deputy Governor, as undergoing a single nascent soul tribulation was the easiest. Therefore, the rewards naturally couldn’t compare to undergoing twelve nascent soul tribulations.
However, this didn’t matter. The Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon Art would allow Xu Qing’s future cultivation to replenish the heavenly mandates. Right now, he was finally no longer a fake Nascent Soul cultivator.
In the Edict Bearer Hall, as the offensive nascent soul returned and fused into his body, Xu Qing opened his eyes. A purple glint appeared in his eyes as he mumbled softly.
“Nascent Soul!”
When the 13 palaces were completed, they all transformed into Nascent Souls and experienced the first tribulation.
“In that case, I’m only one step away from cultivating the Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon Art!”
Xu Qing took out the pill bottle his master had given him.
This bottle seemed to contain the universe and to a certain extent, it could be considered a storage item. The evil spirits inside were in the process of being refined.
Xu Qing stared at these evil souls. After some thought, determination appeared in his eyes. Previously, he had an idea to speed up the refinement. After these few days of analysis, he felt that it was very feasible.
Xu Qing stood up and walked out of the Edict Bearer Hall, heading straight for the territory of the Great Void Demon Transformation Sect.
After the war, although the strength of the Great Void Demon Transformation Sect, which was tied to the Sword Holding Palace, was similarly damaged, it wasn’t difficult for such a super sect to recover.
Hence, when Xu Qing arrived, he saw that there were still many disciples in the Great Void Demon Transformation Sect.
Xu Qing didn’t bring an entourage with him. His target was very clear. The place he wanted to go was the Great Void World controlled by the Great Void Demon Transformation Sect.
Through the teleportation in the sect, Xu Qing’s figure disappeared from the city. When he reappeared, he was already in the void, still in the body of the skeleton fish.
Xu Qing was already very familiar with heading to the Great Void World. Hence, not long later, when he saw the huge statue with a gaping hole in its chest, his body was enveloped by the bubble spat out by the skeleton fish.
In an instant, Xu Qing entered the Great Void World.
The moment he appeared, the brain trees in the surroundings that were originally leisurely trembled. They remembered Xu Qing’s aura and retreated abruptly, fleeing in all directions.
There was also countless information that transformed into fluctuations that continuously spread out in all directions, informing all the clansmen that the bandit was here again!
Hence, Xu Qing, who had descended here, saw empty surroundings and fleeing figures in the distance.
Ling’er stuck her head out of his collar and looked around curiously.
“Brother Xu Qing, where is this? Why are they fleeing? They seem to be very afraid of you.”
“This is the Great Void World, a very interesting place. They aren’t fleeing. This is their way of welcoming.”
Xu Qing calmly spoke. With a step, a pair of blood-colored wings appeared on his back. As the wings flapped, his speed erupted and he instantly caught a brain tree that was fleeing a little slower.
The brain tree immediately emitted a sharp divine sense.
“Not eating, not eating, not eating!”
Xu Qing grabbed it. He then took out the pill bottle that contained the evil spirits and borrowed the storage power inside to send the brain tree in.
This was the solution Xu Qing thought of.
The brain trees of the Great Void World liked to eat memories and carried malice and greed. They would continuously deceive those who arrived, causing them to forget the process of the transaction.
This way, they could trade again and again until the other party became a person with no memories.
Xu Qing felt that these brain trees should be very suitable for purifying evil spirits. After all, the latter was filled with miscellaneous thoughts and memories.
The brain tree had been wailing in agony, but upon entering the pill bottle and noticing countless evil spirits, it began to tremble.
It was trembling with excitement.
It rapidly approached a soul and countless bolts of lightning flashed in the brain. As it contracted, it seemed to have absorbed something. The soul’s expression was no longer sinister but blank.
“It’s effective!”
Xu Qing was excited. He immediately flew out and continued to capture them.
However, he knew that excessiveness in all things should be avoided. Therefore, after capturing over thirty of them, he stopped and left without continuing.
Although there were only over 30 brain trees, the speed at which they devoured memories was very fast. It was enough to speed up the refinement greatly.
He did some calculations. With these brain trees, these evil spirits would meet his cultivation requirements in five days at most.
Hence, Xu Qing left in satisfaction and returned to the Sword Holding Palace. He then entered seclusion and cultivated the Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon Art.
Just like that, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
When Xu Qing transformed the Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon Art into a cultivation seed to lay a foundation for himself and continuously nurture it, he received a voice transmission from his master.
“Fourth, the Seventh Prince sent an envoy to deliver an invitation.”
“He has invited you to the place where the Ten Guts Tree was located to participate in the celebration of the Holy Wave Race’s return.”
“The Seventh Prince and the Holy Wave Race have reached a preliminary agreement, and once the Human Emperor approves it and issues the imperial decree, the Holy Wave Race will officially return to the human race.”
“Other than inviting you to the celebration, he also invited you to one of his private banquets to discuss the ownership of the three provinces of Fenghai County.”
“According to our information, many of the nobles’ sons, disciples of almighty figures, or elites who are famous in the Imperial Capital have been invited to participate.”
“So, are you going?”
At the same time that Xu Qing heard his master’s words, a banquet was being held in the Ten Guts Trees’ location.
With the disappearance of the Ten Guts Trees, the appearance of this area had changed drastically. A huge deep pit formed on the ground.
The Seventh Prince occupied this place and it became the garrison headquarters. Hence, the surroundings of this deep pit were filled with military camps and there was no end to it.
The small countries in the surroundings had also become the residences of the generals of the Imperial City’s army. Especially a small nation named ‘Te Chi,’ whose palace was colored deep blue, was favored by the Seventh Prince.
Hence, the palace of that small country became the Seventh Prince’s temporary residence.
At that moment, in the main hall of the palace, laughter rang out endlessly. Many young men and women in luxurious clothes were sitting there. Any one of them carried a noble aura. They were from the Imperial Capital.
The Seventh Prince sat at the main seat, looking down with a smile. However, nobody noticed the disdain in his eyes as he glanced at the group of people below.
Only when he looked at the woman beside him did the disdain in the Seventh Prince’s eyes disappear, replaced by a hint of depth.
“Imperial Sister, your arrival this time is quite sudden.”
The woman, seated at the same level as the Seventh Prince, appeared to be in her twenties. Her complexion was as fair as snow, and her eyes were like cold water as if they could see through everything.
The fingers that picked up the wine glass were slender and smooth, with a hint of pink amidst the snow-whiteness.
She was dressed in aqua blue attire, embroidered lightly with peach blossoms, and her outfit was elegant. Her dark hair was elegantly tied up in a high bun with an exquisite jade hairpin.
The neckline was slightly open, revealing the graceful, fair, and slender curve of her neck, giving off an even more cold and proud aura.
Upon hearing this, her red lips parted slightly and a cold voice rang out.
“Seventh Brother, are you guessing why I came?”
The Seventh Prince’s gaze was deep. He picked up the wine glass and glanced at the wine inside as he smiled and spoke.
“I wouldn’t dare.”
