817 Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon, 13 Nascent Souls (2)
With this, Xu Qing’s journey came to a complete end.
During this trip, he visited many places and fulfilled many desires. His inner world became much clearer. On the fourth day after returning to the capital city, Xu Qing’s thirteenth nascent soul was formed within the Nether Spirit Blood Wing Lantern.
The left wing excelled in speed, while the right wing was focused on offense.
The instant the phantom of the right wing was born, a shocking killing intent erupted from this nascent soul, surpassing all the other lanterns.
After sensing its sharpness, Xu Qing thought for a moment and then took out a jade slip.
This was given to him by Old Master Seventh on the way back to the county capital.
What was recorded inside was the Nascent Soul cultivation art that Old Master Seventh had specially created for him.
Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon Art.
Similar to how Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art was created for Xu Qing, this cultivation art that Old Master Seventh crafted for him was tailored to Xu Qing’s personality, style, and abilities, making it unique.
Xu Qing recalled Old Master Seventh’s arrogant expression when he gave him the cultivation art and warmth rose in his heart. His understanding of this cultivation art these few days also made him understand that it was extremely difficult to mold such a cultivation art.
In addition, if one wanted to cultivate it, they needed many special items as support to form the source of the cultivation art.
Old Master Seventh had already prepared these items for him.
Looking at the jade slip, the contents of the cultivation art appeared in Xu Qing’s mind.
The moment the cultivators of the various races of the Wanggu Continent stepped into the Nascent Soul realm, the focus of their cultivation was different from before.
They needed a heavenly mandate.
Heavenly mandate was an indescribable thing that only appeared in the Nascent Soul realm.
It was different from fortune.
To be precise, the heavenly mandate was the most basic power that formed the laws of heaven and earth. It could be likened to the notes in a melody, the strokes in writing, and the bricks in constructing a building.
Its role was not only to nourish and facilitate the growth of the nascent souls but also to integrate into them, continuously accumulating within. Eventually, after experiencing five heavenly tribulations, it would gather together to form a secret repository.
The number of heavenly mandates determined the success rate of forming a secret repository, and at the same time, it was also the foundation of the formation of the secret repositories.
Once the heavenly mandates were sufficient, after forming the secret repository, the excess heavenly mandates could transform into nomological laws in the secret repository, allowing it to have all the prerequisites for the birth of the Heavenly Dao.
Therefore, to Nascent Soul cultivators, heavenly mandate was extremely important.
If they wanted to obtain more heavenly mandates, they had to endure the heavenly tribulation.
Generally speaking, the power of the first heavenly tribulation might be ordinary, but each subsequent one became more terrifying than the last.
The fourth heavenly tribulation could even be considered extinction-level, and not many people could survive it.
The life lantern’s nascent soul was better off. After failing the heavenly tribulation, the nascent soul wouldn’t dissipate, as the punishment would be borne by the life lantern.
However, if an ordinary nascent soul failed, it would be heavily injured and required significant efforts to barely recover.
As for more severe cases, they would collapse directly, lost forever, unable to be reconstructed.
As a result, at the Nascent Soul realm, many people didn’t dare to transcend the tribulation and were willing to stop here.
Although there seemed to be quite a lot of Spirit Repository cultivators, that was because the number of cultivators in the Wanggu Continent was huge. In reality, every Spirit Repository cultivator had experienced the life-and-death test of the heavenly tribulations.
Of course, the Wanggu Continent had existed for so many years and there were countless researches done on the Nascent Soul tribulations, leading to a wide variety of methods.
Some were indeed effective, but came at a significant cost. Others were merely attempts to deceive, with extremely demanding conditions for cultivation that were purely theoretical.
Only some treasured techniques in the large sects or emperor-level cultivation arts that could be cultivated could truly allow cultivators to reduce their losses during the tribulations and increase the possibility of success to obtain more heavenly mandates.
Other than that, in the various races, they more or less grasped some precious cultivation arts.
These cultivation arts could allow one to transcend the tribulation almost unscathed. However, the conditions for cultivation were mostly extremely strict. It wasn’t something that could be obtained by simply cultivating. One also needed the help of some natural treasures.
These methods weren’t spread.
Coupled with the existence of class, it became something that only the influential could enjoy.
However, no matter what, at the Nascent Soul realm, cultivators first had to let their nascent souls grow.
Regardless of whether it was the spiritual energy of the world, devouring other people’s nascent souls, eating natural treasures and medicinal pills, the goal of everything was to allow the nascent souls to withstand the heavenly tribulation and obtain the heavenly mandates to nourish them. After that, they would continue to grow and transcend the tribulation.
This was the foundation.
Unless it was an extremely special cultivation art, it was all based on this principle.
The Dao Mandate Heavenly Demon Art that Old Master Seventh had given Xu Qing was the opposite. It exuded domineeringness and carried the style of the Seventh Peak.
It continued the bizarre art and still focused on devouring.
However, what it devoured was no longer the Heavenly Palace’s golden core but the heavenly mandates of nascent souls!
It devoured the heavenly mandates obtained by others after transcending the tribulations and changed them to its own heavenly mandates.
Heavenly mandate was the best item to nourish one’s nascent souls. Hence, cultivating this art didn’t require any natural treasures. One only needed to keep killing.
Therefore, it was called Dao Mandate.
Xu Qing’s expression was a little strange. He felt that this word ‘Dao’ should have been embellished by Old Master Seventh. Perhaps Mandate Plundering would be more accurate, not the kind of stealing associated with theft, but the kind associated with robbery.
As for the words ‘Heavenly Demon’, they also had meanings.
This was the second specialty of this cultivation art. It could allow the cultivator to disintegrate the nascent souls they devoured.
The heavenly mandates in the nascent souls would become nourishment for the cultivator, while the other parts were condensed outside the body, forming the illusory Heavenly Demon Body.
This Heavenly Demon Body looked similar to a clone but its essence was completely different.
It could take on countless forms and accompany the main body into battle as a fighting force.
