Without any hesitation, Xu Qing stepped into the small world again and sat cross-legged on the volcano in the East 13. He looked at the sky. After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes and sensed the intrinsic mosasaur in his body.
Under the guidance of the aura, the life-bound mosasaur manifested in Xu Qing’s mind and also stared at him.
This intrinsic mosasaur was transformed from the eighth level of the Sea. Transformation Art when Xu Qing was at Qi Condensation. At that time, it was called the Forbidden Sea Dragonwhale. After that, he comprehended many Forbidden Sea creatures and all the changes in their forms, finally forming the body of a mosasaur.
When he was in the Foundation Building realm, he used this as his natal magic aperture. It was only when he advanced to the Golden Core that the mosasaur had to keep on giving way.
Until today…
“Then, I’ll use my life-bound mosasaur to bear the law of Dao Slaying.”
Xu Qing acted decisively, lifting his right hand and waving it. The distant mountain peak rumbled and a nonhuman prisoner was immediately brought to him.
This was the last specimen he had exchanged with the other Pawns. No matter how many there were… the others were unwilling to continue exchanging.
“It should be enough.” Xu Qing looked at the nonhuman prisoner in front of him and muttered inwardly.
At that moment, the prisoner’s body was trembling as he looked at Xu Qing with despair. He knew his fate and quickly spoke.
“Sir, I’m willing to attract the saber of heavenly tribulation for you. My sins are grave and I know that I can’t be released. I only hope that after you gain something, you can erase me and spare me the pain of losing my memories.”
The nonhuman’s eyes were pleading.
Xu Qing didn’t say anything. He let go and put it down, tossing out the medicinal pills.
This nonhuman prisoner gritted his teeth fiercely and flew into the distance with the pills. His eyes revealed determination. After swallowing them, he circulated his cultivation with all his might, trying to break through.
At the next instant, the sky rumbled and clouds quickly formed. A large amount of lightning filled the air. Very soon, the Dao-Slaying Heavenly Saber that looked like it was formed by countless bolts of lightning but was actually formed by the laws appeared in the sky again.
As the saber light shone resplendently and reflected in Xu Qing’s mind, Xu Qing’s expression was solemn as he began to imprint.
This time, he didn’t brand the saber into his mind but engraved it on the life-bound mosasaur in his body. In an instant, a roar rang out from Xu Qing’s body and the life-bound mosasaur suddenly manifested outside.
Xu Qing was completely focused, and he quickly drew with his right hand.
Using the mosasaur as a drawing board, his memories as paint, and his perception as a brush, he drew the Dao-Slaying Saber on the mosasaur little by little.
Time flowed by and the Dao Slaying Saber fell from the sky. The nonhuman prisoner laughed bitterly and his cultivation collapsed. His body landed on the ground and he was on the verge of death.
As for Xu Qing’s drawing, it wasn’t over. He was still drawing.
It was just that… after the life-bound mosasaur used as a drawing board withstood the laws Xu Qing had copied, it gradually found it difficult to hold on and showed signs of collapsing. Cracks formed inside and spread throughout its body, looking like it was about to shatter into pieces.
It let out a mournful cry.
Xu Qing frowned and glanced at his life-bound mosasaur. He knew that this was because the level of the mosasaur wasn’t high enough. However, changing to other items wasn’t in line with Xu Qing’s thoughts.
After pondering, the two life lanterns in Xu Qing’s body instantly emitted a canopy that enveloped the life-bound mosasaur and ruthlessly suppressed it.
The life-bound mosasaur’s body trembled. Under the protection of the life lanterns, it barely stabilized a little.
However, it wasn’t enough.
Xu Qing thought about it. As the Third Heavenly Palace trembled, the Poison Restriction Pill emitted anomalous substances that fused into the life-bound mosasaur, augmenting it.
These anomalous substances were controlled by Xu Qing and wouldn’t harm the mosasaur.
Time passed, one day, two days, three days…
Xu Qing was completely immersed and seemed to have forgotten himself. There was only the Dao Slaying Saber in his eyes. Even though his limit of 2,000 breaths had passed, he didn’t pay attention.
The power of laws on his body didn’t crush his body to the point of collapse. This was because… as Xu Qing drew again and again, the laws and rules on his body were continuously branded on his life-bound mosasaur.
The mosasaur was sharing the burden.
At the same time, the experience he had gained from his failures in the past two months also played a role at this moment.
It was like nutrients, causing Xu Qing to be even more familiar with the imprinting of the Dao Slaying Saber.
During this time, the mosasaur couldn’t withstand it again. Xu Qing spread out his emperor-level cultivation art and augmented it.
Seven days, ten days…
The mosasaur wailed and its body trembled even more. Every time Xu Qing drew on it, it would become blurry. Even with many enhancements, it was at its limit.
Xu Qing also understood that if his life-bound mosasaur was destroyed, he would be affected as well.
However, Xu Qing had a ruthless personality. At this moment, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes. The Fourth Heavenly Palace suddenly trembled and the power of the purple moon spread out. This wisp of god’s power fused into the mosasaur’s body and augmented it again.
The mosasaur’s body trembled as Xu Qing drew again.
Half a month later, when the mosasaur held on to the extreme, Xu Qing finally completed the last stroke.
As this stroke landed, Xu Qing spat out a large mouthful of blood that landed on the mosasaur’s body. It was like the finishing touch, causing the mosasaur’s body to tremble and a bloody light to appear, as though it had been enchanted.
Xu Qing’s body instantly became dispirited and weakened.
In this half a month, he had exhausted an unprecedented amount of mental energy.
However, the spirit in his eyes was extremely bright.
The appearance of the intrinsic mosasaur in front of him had changed drastically. Threads that flickered with bright light appeared on its body. These threads filled its entire body and seemed to contain some pattern as they flickered.
At every moment and every breath, a fixed number of lights would flicker at the same time. Other than that, there were also countless runes and marks that emitted an ancient aura on the mosasaur’s entire body.
Some were big and some were small, some were bright and some were dark.
All of this caused the mosasaur at this moment to finally have a trace of… the auras of the four Primordial Heavenly Daos that Xu Qing had seen outside the small world.
Although it was only a trace, it was still shocking.
“I’ve finally barely succeeded!”
Xu Qing took a deep breath. There were too many laws contained in that Dao Slaying Saber. Even though his comprehension ability was astonishing, his cultivation was limited after all. At that moment, he had only imprinted 10% of the saber strike,
Although it was only 10%, its might still surpassed all the divine arts and spells Xu Qing had mastered. This was because it was formed by the laws.
“This is my third Extreme Heaven Saber, the Heavenly Dao Saber!” Xu Qing leaned on the rocky mountain beside him, stood up, and pointed at the life-bound mosasaur in front of him.
Immediately, the mosasaur let out a deafening roar and soared into the sky, dancing through the clouds. Wherever it went, it left behind a trail of lightning bolts that filled the surroundings. The intent of the laws was even more apparent on its body.
In fact, the world even changed at this moment. One could vaguely see the sun and moon appearing at the same time in the sky.
That was the manifestation of the gazes of the four Primordial Heavenly Daos outside the small world gathering here.
They were looking at the mosasaur from afar.
They were like an old man staring at a newborn baby.
The mosasaur also sensed the gazes. It lifted its head and looked at the endless sky, letting out a piercing sound.
The world trembled.
Auspicious clouds rose in the sky and the sky was filled with a red glow.
At this moment, the sky of the entire small world was filled with multicolored light, causing all the Pawns and prisoners who saw this scene to be shocked.
“An auspicious sign!”
“This is a change in the rules!”
“What happened?!”
At the place Xu Qing was at, the nonhuman prisoner who had lost his cultivation base witnessed this scene from the start to the end. He was already extremely shocked and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He looked at the mosasaur and then at Xu Qing. His heart felt like it was being bombarded by lightning, transforming into tempestuous waves.
“Golden Core cultivation… condensed the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao?! Even if it’s only a trace, this is still the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao!!”
He wasn’t the only one. All the Pawns here also felt a huge fluctuation in their minds. They rushed over from everywhere, wanting to find out the reason.
In fact, outside the small world, on the 90th floor of the Prison Department, Ghost Hand, who was drinking, almost forgot to swallow the wine. His eyes were wide open as he looked at the small world in disbelief.
“What’s going on!”
“I asked him to go to the East 13 area because the saber of heavenly tribulation would appear there. I wanted him to comprehend the meaning of this saber strike and comprehend a heavenly saber that could cut through the body and soul. But he… but he…”
Ghost Hand looked as though he had seen a ghost. He didn’t even notice that the wine in his hand had spilled.
“He actually created the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao!!”
“How is this possible? A Golden Core cultivator possesses the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao? What the hell is that mosasaur!!”
In the small world, in the East 13 area, when everyone rushed over because of the endless auspicious light rising in the sky, Xu Qing was vigilant. With a wave of his hand, he directly kept the mosasaur.
As soon as the mosasaur disappeared, the world returned to normal.
After that, Xu Qing looked at the criminal at the side. When the criminal saw this scene, he knew very well what was going on. A pleading look appeared in his eyes. He wasn’t asking for life but death. Xu Qing nodded. With a wave of his hand, the rules descended, killing this criminal and freeing him.
After that, he quickly went to the location of the three Black Heaven Race members and kept the shadow eyes and the recording jade slip. He then turned and headed straight for the sky, leaving this small world and returning to the Prison Department.
The moment he appeared on the 90th floor, he saw Ghost Hand.
Ghost Hand wasn’t sitting on a rocking chair but standing in front of the mural, as though he was specially waiting for Xu Qing.
“What happened inside?” Ghost Hand suppressed the shock in his heart and tried his best to calm down. He smiled at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing blinked. Although there was no need to hide it, he understood that everything wasn’t absolute. There were some things… even if there was a high chance that everyone knew, there was still a need to pretend to be muddle-headed.
Hence, he revealed a blank expression and shook his head.
Ghost Hand glanced at Xu Qing with a spurious smile. After a long time, he laughed and scolded.
“Kid, not bad. Your vigilance isn’t bad.”
With that, Ghost Hand took out a flask of wine and took a big gulp. He hummed a tune and went to the rocking chair. Clearly, he was in a good mood. After he sat on the rocking chair, he slowly spoke.
“However, this is too fake. Remember not to deny it directly when you encounter similar things in the future. You have to give a fake answer. For example, if someone asks, you can say that you comprehended a saber strike that can sever body and soul.”
Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He felt that what Senior Ghost Hand said made sense. Hence, he remembered these words and bowed seriously to the other party before turning to leave.
After walking out of the Prison Department, he transmitted his voice to the captain.
“Eldest Senior Brother, the recordings of the Black Heaven Race are complete. I’m also free for some time… When are we setting off?”
“You’ve finally replied to me. Little Qing, two months have passed. Where’s my Taotao?” The captain’s bitter sigh came from the jade slip.
“Taotao?” Xu Qing started.
“That’s right. Didn’t you want to introduce Li Taotao to me?”
Xu Qing fell silent. He remembered that the other party’s name was Li Shitao….
“You’ve learned bad things. You actually made me wait bitterly for two months.” The captain sighed sadly.
“I’ve been quite busy recently…”
Hearing the captain’s hidden bitterness, Xu Qing then remembered that he wanted to introduce them. He had completely forgotten about this.
“Little Qing, my happiness is in your hands. Some time ago, I went to the Observance Palace and secretly took a look at my Taotao. Cough, not bad.”
The captain coughed.
Xu Qing kept this matter in his mind and spoke.
“Mm, after we are done with this big thing, I’ll introduce you. You can come and take the recordings of the Black Heaven Race.”
Hearing Xu Qing’s guarantee, the captain’s heart itched with anticipation. However, he also knew that doing the big deed was important. Hence, he arrived in a hurry that night. After he took the recording jade slips of the Black Heaven Race, he left a message.
“Little Qing, I have everything ready. I only lack this. Wait three days. I’ll come and find you in three days and tell you about my plan in detail!”.
