Outside Of Time Chapter 485 - 485 Broken Heavenly Mandate

Chapter 485 - 485 Broken Heavenly Mandate

485 Broken Heavenly Mandate
As Nether Fairy’s emotions fluctuated, the prison also rumbled. The surroundings swayed intensely and the blood-colored cage shone with a piercing light.
Nether Fairy’s eyes were bloodshot and her scream spread in all directions. The hatred in her heart for this human in front of her had reached the extreme.
All the negative emotions suppressed in her heart poured out like a broken dam.
“I will kill you!!”
The captain sighed as he mocked.
“You don’t even know how to scold. You keep saying the same thing over and over again. Do you want me to teach you?”
Nether Fairy went completely crazy.
Seeing this, the captain coughed and revealed a smug expression. He was naturally not worried that he would really be killed by the Sword Holders and fed to Nether Fairy. If that was the case, they would not become human race’s orthodoxy
After all, to the Sword Holding Court, rules had to be followed.
What made him even more smug was that not only was the middle-aged Sword Holder shocked, but even his junior brother’s expression changed.
This made the captain feel extremely comfortable. He felt that this was a win-win situation for him.
‘I can show off in front of Little Qing for ten years with this. Also, when those old fellows from the Sword Holder see how outstanding I, Chen Erniu, am, their impression of me will definitely change.’
At the thought of this, the captain slowly kept the clothes. However, he felt that he was a person who kept his word, so he didn’t take the nose hair away and left it in front of the cage.
After organizing the other items, the captain walked to Xu Qing’s side and raised his brows.
“How is your senior brother!”
“Impressive!” Xu Qing said sincerely. In fact, after some thought, he even gave him a thumbs up.
The captain laughed loudly and was in a wonderful mood. He then looked at Qing Qiu.
Qing Qiu rolled her eyes at him, but she was extremely vigilant inwardly.
The middle-aged Sword Holder looked at Chen Erniu with a complicated gaze. He admitted that this Chen Erniu was indeed capable, but now, he had a faint feeling that such a fellow might affect the reputation of the Yinghuang Province’s Sword Holding Court in the future.
After all, this person was too despicable. When he recalled the holy expression on the other party’s face earlier, he almost couldn’t hold himself from slapping him.
At the same time, in the main hall of the Sword Holding Court, the few Sword Holder Elders also looked at the light screen in front of them with strange expressions. On the light screen were Xu Qing and the other two.
These few elders saw everything the captain said and did.
All of them were quiet for a long time. In the end, an elder shook his head and spoke.
“Too despicable.”
With Nether Fairy’s emotions fluctuating intensely, there was finally a breakthrough in the Sword Holding Court’s soul search. What happened next wasn’t something Xu Qing and the other two could participate in. Hence, they were quickly sent away by the middle-aged Sword Holder.
As for the credit, the captain’s contribution was recorded, and it wasn’t small.
After watching the three of them disappear from the Sword Holding Court, the middle-aged Sword Holder let out a long sigh.
“The disciples of the Eight Sects Alliance this time…”
He shook his head, not knowing what to make of it.
As this matter ended, Qing Qiu immediately left with the Litu Sect, as though she didn’t want to stay for a moment longer.
As for the Eight Sects Alliance, on the second day after this matter ended, they chose to leave and return to the Eight Sects Alliance. However, before the huge flying ship of the Eight Sects Alliance set sail, there was a small episode.
The captain was missing.
In the end, he didn’t have the courage to return to the sect. Clearly, he was worried about Purple Mystic Fairy’s anger and his master’s punishment when he returned. After all, he didn’t know what Purple Mystic Fairy had said in the letter.
However, with the ancestor around, the captain’s escape plan was destined to fail.
Hence, less than an hour after the flying ship set sail, Xue Lianzi returned with the captain.
The captain’s expression was filled with dense boredom. As he sighed repeatedly, he was thrown onto the flying ship by Xue Lianzi. With an order, the flying ship rumbled and rose into the air, whistling away in the direction of the Eight Sects Alliance.
In that instant, the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar that stood on the ground became thinner and thinner in Xu Qing’s eyes until it finally disappeared from his vision.
Looking in the direction of the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar, Xu Qing’s mind stirred a little.
When he came, he was only a disciple of the Eight Sects Alliance and could at most be considered a quasi-Dao Child. But now… he was a Sword Holder with 100,000 feet radiance that had never appeared in the Yinghuang Province. He had even reached the peak of the assessment stage and turned from a participant to a witness.
His identity and reputation were completely different from before.
Xu Qing could sense this very clearly from the way the surrounding Alliance disciples were stealing glances at him.
Previously, when the Alliance disciples looked at him, they were mostly envious. Now, their gazes were filled with reverence.
The changes in their gazes came from his strength, but it also came from his identity.
The current him was already a cultivator of the Upper Mystic Five Ministries’ Sword Holding Ministry and held the command sword. With his strength and authority, he could kill anyone below the sovereign.
Similarly, under the protection of this identity, if someone killed him, they would enter the wanted list of the Sword Holding Ministry.
While enjoying these benefits, the Sword Holder also had to dedicate his duty to wield the sword for the human race and protect the common people.
Xu Qing fell silent. The Sword Holder’s mission was too great and he didn’t know what he should do in the future.
“Stick to your heart.” Xu Qing mumbled inwardly. After that, he retracted his thoughts and turned his head, looking at the captain who limped toward him.
“Junior Brother, I regret something very much.”
“You ran late?” Xu Qing glanced at the captain’s leg.
“No.” The captain’s face was filled with grief and indignation.
“I regret joining the Sword Holder so late. Otherwise, I would have comprehended the Emperor Sword earlier and nurtured it until now. Even Nihility would have to be polite to me.”
“Firstly, you have to be at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. Secondly, you have to live for two thousand years,” Xu Qing reminded.
“I…” The captain’s expression was the same but he seemed to have recalled something and sighed.
“The peak of the Nascent Soul realm in the Wanggu Continent is the limit of the life of the vast majority of cultivators. There are many people who are stuck here and can’t break through even until their lifespan ends…”
“After all, if this level is placed in a small world, it’s comparable to the peak realm of that world. When a person from a small world cultivates to the peak realm of the world, the next step is to shatter the void and ascend to search for secrets. However, this is still fine, but 2,000 years is difficult.”
“The current time’s different from before the god descended. At that time, there were no anomalous substances. The Nascent Souls in the Wanggu Continent were also known as the Heavenly Mandate. One palace forms one Nascent Soul, and one Nascent Soul has six sixty years of lifespan. Now, the lifespan has been halved. Unless they consume natural treasures, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator won’t be able to nurture a sword that can surpass realms and slash the first stage Nihility.”
The captain was depressed.
Xu Qing fell into deep thought. This was the first time he understood the Nascent Soul realm.
“Let’s not talk about this. Junior Brother, I’ve thought about it. Why don’t you follow Purple Mystic Fairy when we get back? It’s fine. Just close your eyes. Otherwise, Eldest Senior Brother probably won’t be able to go to Fenghai County with you. I’m worried that Purple Mystic Fairy will slap me to death.”
Xu Qing thought about it and took out a storage bag, handing it to the captain.
“The things inside might be able to help you survive this calamity, Senior Brother.”
“What’s inside?” The captain’s eyes lit up. He took it and was about to open it when Xu Qing calmly spoke.
“Healing medicine.”
The captain paused and looked at Xu Qing bitterly.
Xu Qing wasn’t moved. He didn’t believe that the captain’s life would be in danger. At most, he would suffer a little. To the captain, who liked to risk his life, what he had experienced the most in his life was suffering. In that case, Xu Qing didn’t think it was a big deal if he suffered a little more.
After all, even if the captain’s body was crippled, it would grow back in a few days. Back then, he only had his head left and he recovered in a month.
The journey to Fenghai County was long. At most, when he left, he would bring the captain’s head.
Presumably, before they could reach Fenghai County, the captain would be alive and kicking again.
The captain sighed but kept the healing medicine. He then took out an apple and took a bite.
He felt that pills could also be sold for money. His pockets were empty now. More than half of his savings from before had been spent on buying the questions and answers. When he thought of how he had exchanged so many spirit stones for ten feet of light, he couldn’t help but feel even more curious.
“It’s fine if you don’t help me put in a good word with Purple Mystic Fairy, but can you tell me what the emperor asked and what you answered back then?”
“I’ve been thinking about this day and night. Look, my hair is starting to fall off.”
The captain blinked. In reality, he had said so much earlier just to lay the groundwork to ask this.
He felt that his strategy last time wasn’t right and he couldn’t ask directly. He needed to lay the groundwork and talk about other things, such as the Heavenly Mandate Nascent Soul to divert Xu Qing’s attention. After that, he would take the opportunity to ask. This way, the probability of success would be high.
The instant he asked this question, in the secret chamber on the flying ship, Xue Lianzi, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, pricked his ears and focused his attention to listen. Esteemed Master Dongyou, who was beside him, also looked in the direction of Xu Qing.
In fact, in the distance, on the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar, the Sword Holder Great Elder also lifted his head and looked in the direction of the Eight Sects Alliance’s flying ship.
While these old fellows were listening attentively and paying attention, Xu Qing glanced at the captain’s hair.
The captain looked at Xu Qing eagerly.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I’ve already told you that day on the snow,” Xu Qing said softly.
The captain was stunned and recalled carefully. At the same time, Xue Lianzi frowned and began to recall. As for the Sword Holder Great Elder, surprise appeared on his face.
Very soon, the captain suddenly recalled that when he asked that day, although Xu Qing didn’t say anything, he spat out a mouthful of saliva.
“Your… saliva?”
The captain hesitated.
Xu Qing nodded.
“I spat at the god.”
The captain was a little stunned.
“What? You spat and got 100,000 feet light?”
“I even scolded it for being a son of a b*tch.” Xu Qing pointed at the fragmented-face of the god in the sky.
Xue Lianzi was stunned. The Great Elder of the Sword Holding Court had a strange expression on his face. As for the captain who was standing beside Xu Qing, he mumbled.
“You… you cursed the god’s fragmented-face and called him a son of a b*tch?”
“Not just one sentence.” Xu Qing corrected and spoke seriously.
“I scolded it a few times. Other than son of a b*tch, I also called it a b*stard and a pig b*stard.”
“At the end, I even said ‘fker god’.”
As Xu Qing spoke, he spat outside the flying ship. The captain looked at Xu Qing and an intense glint appeared in his eyes.
At that moment, in the Sword Holding Court, the Sword Holder Great Elder fell into deep thought and a smile appeared on his face. This smile kept expanding until he finally laughed loudly.
His laughter was carefree. His voice spread throughout the Sword Holding Court, causing a large number of Sword Holders to be extremely surprised. They all looked over.
In their memories, the Great Elder had always been serious. Regardless of whether it was here or on the Dao altar, it was the same. It was extremely rare for him to laugh so heartily like today.
As he laughed, the Great Elder actually cursed.
“Son of a b*tch!”
At the same time, on the flying ship of the Eight Sect Alliance, Xue Lianzi also laughed loudly. However, as he laughed, his eyes turned a little red. Long ago, he had also scolded like this, but from some unknown time ago, he didn’t dare to.
On the flying ship, the captain took a deep breath. He looked at the god’s fragmented-face and spoke loudly.
“F*cking god!”
With that, he coughed forcefully and spat out a large mouthful of phlegm.
After spitting, the captain laughed and so did Xu Qing.
In the sky, the god’s fragmented-face was still dignified. It was as though everything on the ground was insignificant to it.
Time slowly passed. The flying ship passed through northern plains, the Immortal Enrichment River, and headed south along the Grand Affairs Misfortune Passing Mountain.
Half a month later, at noon, when the sun was high in the sky, the majestic city of the Eight Sects Alliance appeared in the eyes of everyone on the flying ship.
Waves of bell chimes rang out from the Eight Sects Alliance, spreading through the clouds.
This was the welcoming bell.
The bell that welcomed the Sword Holder’s return.
