740 Heavenly Mandate Dao Nascent Realm (2)

‘He referred to Demon Xu as ‘Junior Brother’. They must be fellow disciples. As expected, those who have a good relationship with the demon are all monstrous geniuses!’ The head was shaken. Previously, when it was summoned by Xu Qing, it was immediately crushed. After it recovered, it was instantly sent back.

At that time, its attention was all on that terrifying existence, so it didn’t take a closer look at this second person. At this moment, it couldn’t help but activate its ability to take a closer look.

After taking a look, the head suddenly let out a blood-curdling scream and its eyes instantly exploded.

‘Mouths, countless mouths, iron chains, iron chains from the Netherworld… Seals, endless seals. Heavens, what am I seeing? Divine skeletons, countless divine skeletons!’

The head exploded loudly.

Xu Qing looked at the captain, but the captain showed an innocent expression.

The stone lion shivered even more.

A long time later, the head came back to life. It trembled uncontrollably and quickly looked down, behaving in an extremely submissive and obsequious manner. It dared not look up and its mind echoed with a deep sense of despair.

It recalled the third person it had seen when Xu Qing summoned it earlier.

At that time, although Xu Qing quickly recalled it, it kept on shivering for a long time in D132. It felt that the third person was too terrifying, so terrifying that it hadn’t dared to activate its ability.

‘These are three great terrors!’

Xu Qing was curious. Even though he knew that the captain had many secrets, the head’s reaction was a bit exaggerated. Nevertheless, he was aware that it was not the right time for inquiries, so he looked at the head with a cold gaze and calmly spoke.

“You two, go and fetch the purple bottle from there. If you perform well, I will consider reducing your sentence.”

“Great Guardian, actually, whether you reduce our sentence or not is not important. As long as you can…” the head hurriedly spoke, but the words were cut off before they could be finished.

The stone lion by the side lifted its two front paws and stomped forcefully on the ground, then turned around and charged forward.

The head, seeing this, became anxious and quickly rolled away, landing on the neck of the stone lion, heading straight towards the ruins.

Xu Qing observed closely. The captain also narrowed his eyes.

“Can they do it?”

“They are prisoners of D132 and have been immersed in D132’s power for a long time. They should be able to do it.” After Xu Qing explained the principles behind D132, the captain’s eyes lit up.

“There’s such a magical place in the Prison Department!”

After uttering those words, the captain noticed a trace of sadness in Xu Qing’s expression, knowing that he was reminded of his life in the Prison Department, the Palace Master, and the peace they once had. The captain sighed deeply, patting Xu Qing on the shoulder, and then pointed towards the distance.

“They can really do it!”

Xu Qing lifted his head and looked over. At that moment, the stone lion was running rapidly toward the flesh city walls and leaped up. It was as though their existence was special and the power of the restrictions here had no effect on them.

Xu Qing watched as the stone lion leaped into the blood and flesh city wall and began circling inside, seemingly searching for something. Despite the purple bottle not being far from them, the lion couldn’t seem to find it.

Xu Qing frowned.

Things took a turn for the better. It seemed to be the idea of the head, as they separated from each other and then collided with great force. They shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

Soon, they revived once again, full of vigor, and continued to dash forward for a certain distance. Then, they collided once more, repeating this cycle over and over again. Surprisingly, they gradually approached the purple bottle.

“Those two are quite smart. They are using the moment of revival to use the energy inside them mixed with luck and curse to explore their surroundings,” the captain chuckled.

Xu Qing nodded.

Under their watchful eyes, the stone lion and the head went through over a dozen deaths, finally reaching the location of the purple bottle. Without any hesitation, the head opened its mouth and grabbed the bottle, swiftly returning with the stone lion.

As they left, the broken statue began to blur until it turned into dust and dissipated.

Then, the surrounding flesh and blood walls surged forward, completely engulfing the area.

During this process, the stone lion and head also ran back crazily until they returned to Xu Qing’s side. The head let go of the purple bottle hanging in its mouth and was about to continue currying favor when Xu Qing waved his hand and kept them away.

The captain picked up the purple bottle. The instant he touched it, his body trembled visibly. As Xu Qing focused his attention, the captain recovered, wearing an expression of disbelief and taking a deep breath.

“This is… the Bottle of Time!”

After saying that, the captain instinctively looked around quickly, then grabbed Xu Qing and swiftly left the area.

Xu Qing’s mind was filled with questions, but he sensed the seriousness of the captain’s demeanor. He held his tongue, refraining from speaking, until they had completely left the area and found a relatively safe place. There, the two of them crouched inside the severed arm. The captain’s breath was heavy, and his eyes glowed with intense light.

“Eldest Senior Brother, what is the Bottle of Time?” Xu Qing asked.

The captain shushed him and checked his surroundings again. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he quickly performed some sealing gestures and set up additional protections around their location. With an exhilarated expression, he immediately began to speak.

“Little Qing, we made a killing this time!!”

“I’ve come across the description of the Bottle of Time in some ancient texts. It was a rare item exclusively used by the imperial family during the era of Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether. Whenever one appeared, it would attract the special attention of the imperial family. For those who were not of imperial family, if they were found to possess it privately, it would lead to the extermination of their entire family. It was considered a grave crime.”
