741 Heavenly Mandate Dao Nascent Realm (3)
“However, it’s said that back then, when the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether brought the imperial family and a portion of the human race away from this world, he took all the Bottles of Time with him. Why is there one here?!”
Seeing Xu Qing’s confusion, the captain spoke in a low voice.
“The origin of the Bottle of Time is unknown and not many people know of it. However, all the ancient sovereigns who unified the Wanggu World in the past would collect them.
“Rumors, these are just rumors, but it is said that the Bottle of Time contains a huge secret regarding the formation of the Wanggu World. There are also people who say that it holds the method for the ancient sovereigns and rulers to break through their shackles.”
“There are even rumors saying that the Bottle of Time contains a supreme inheritance.”
“There are all kinds of rumors, and it is said that a Bottle of Time will emerge naturally once in an era.”
“In short, it is shrouded in mysteries, and is treated as an exclusive item of the imperial family.”
“However, for countless years, it seems that no one has truly deciphered the secrets within it. But this bottle has the ability to capture and retain time, and it also serves as a container, preserving objects from decaying.”
“Junior Brother, I know why that area was so mysterious. It’s because there was a period of time that was intercepted by the Bottle of Time and kept spreading out in a continuous loop.”
This was the first time Xu Qing had heard of this item and he was very shocked. He instinctively thought of the wish box and the sound-catching bottle and asked about them.
“Wish box and sound-catching bottle? Actually, those two things are both replicas made according to the Bottle of Time. One imitated its imperishable effect and the other imitated the power of intercepting time!”
After the captain finished explaining, he shook the purple bottle in his hand.
“There’s something inside. From the sound of it, it’s liquid!”
The captain’s eyes lit up even more. He smelled it and looked intoxicated.
“It’s very fragrant. I don’t know what it is but I feel that it’s edible. Junior Brother, how about we eat it?”
The captain looked at Xu Qing and licked his lips before passing the bottle to him.
“Smell it.”
Xu Qing took it and placed it in front of his nose. A strange fragrance entered his nose and transformed into an aura that flowed through his entire body. It didn’t cause the god’s body to react but the four life lanterns in his sea of consciousness shook intensely.
They revealed endless desire, as though this item was extraordinary to life lanterns.
The twelfth Heavenly Palace that hadn’t completed its materialization also swayed. Clearly, the item in the Bottle of Time was also of great help to the Heavenly Palace’s materialization.
Xu Qing’s expression changed.
However, he still had some hesitation. After all, the liquid inside was of unknown origin and had existed for countless years. However, Xu Qing ultimately chose to believe in the captain.
“Let’s eat!” Xu Qing nodded heavily.
The captain chuckled and took the bottle. After shaking it, he poured it into his mouth. Immediately, a drop of transparent but incomparably viscous liquid flowed down the mouth of the bottle and into his mouth.
There was another drop at the back. Before it could fall, the captain placed the small bottle in front of Xu Qing.
Xu Qing opened his mouth. At the next instant, the second drop of viscous liquid landed in his mouth.
They closed their eyes and began to digest.
At this moment, Xu Qing felt as though his body was about to explode. An earth-shattering aura exploded in his mouth and gushed into his body through his throat, spreading throughout his body and gathering in his sea of consciousness.
The Heavenly Palaces formed by the four life lanterns in his sea of consciousness trembled intensely. Just like how the Poison Restriction Pill reacted after sensing the divine essence, they emitted extreme desire.
Clearly, in the long passage of time, they had withered considerably and rarely encountered such nourishment. After all, although they resided within Xu Qing’s body and provided him with support, they were not formed from his bloodline.
After absorbing the nourishment, the life fires on them burned brighter than ever before. The blaze soared high, illuminating all directions. Even the mist within the sea of consciousness became clear under this radiance.
As the flames surged with the intensifying light, the aura of the four life lanterns also rose significantly. Their forms underwent subtle changes, and faint silhouettes of tiny meditating figures seemed to manifest on their wicks.
This scene caused great waves in Xu Qing’s heart. He knew what those tiny people were.
They were nascent souls!
Although they were illusory and hadn’t truly formed, from their speed of formation, they weren’t far away.
As the liquid in the Bottle of Time continued to erupt with energy, the life fires on the four life lanterns grew increasingly intense, as though oil had been dripped into them.
The tiny people on the wicks became clearer and clearer. Their appearances were a mirror image of Xu Qing.
After a dozen breaths, the black umbrella lantern, which had been with Xu Qing the longest, suddenly emitted a burst of light. A powerful force surged from within, causing the tiny figure on it to transform from illusion to reality.
Within the flames, it became incredibly clear, and its eyes suddenly opened wide. It seemed to make eye contact with Xu Qing’s consciousness across the flames, as if they were gazing at each other.
Xu Qing’s mind trembled and the aura of his cultivation base fluctuated, emitting a powerful force that surpassed before.
At the same time, a canopy also manifested above Xu Qing’s head.
It was different from before. The color of the canopy that appeared this time was even more obvious and looked more real. Under its illumination, Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, really looked like a young sovereign.
He was filled with dignity.
However, this wasn’t the end. Very soon, amidst the pleasant whistling sounds of his Rainbow Wind Song Lantern, the tiny person on the wick opened its eyes.
The second canopy appeared!
Next, a nascent soul formed in the Nether Spirit Blood Wing Lantern, followed by the Broken Immortal God Devourer Lantern!
Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged under the four canopy, emitted a multicolored light. The black umbrella was at the top, rainbow colors surrounded him, a blood wing appeared behind him, and a murderous aura spread out from him.
