Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1311 616: Demon Bone in the Well (Part 2)

He took a long breath, urging the Mixed Yuan Dao Scripture, mobilizing the power of the Dao Ruins Dao Realm, and finally lifted a wisp of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi slowly from the well.

Chen Shi held a breath of True Qi, his arms steady, only to feel that what he had hooked was not a wisp of Ancestor Qi, but a bright moon, frighteningly heavy!

He lifted it up bit by bit, with clouds and haze steaming above his head, his mana reaching its peak.

The higher he raised it, the heavier that wisp of Ancestor Qi felt. Just as he was about to run out of breath, he was startled and quickly mobilized the Dao Power of the Well Demon Realm.

"So light!"

As he just activated the power of the Well Demon Realm, that wisp of Ancestor Qi leaped into the air, actually pulling him up into the sky!

Behind Chen Shi's head appeared the two Dao Realms of Dao Ruins and Demon Domain, with great effort stabilizing his body, thus not being carried away.

However, this wisp of Ancestor Qi was undulating and changing in the air, seemingly about to transform into a creature and escape.

He mobilized the third Dao Realm, the Dao Power of the West Bull New Continent, finally suppressing this wisp of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi.

Without hesitation, Chen Shi immediately summoned the Purple Heaven Immortal Gourd, containing that wisp of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi within.

Inside the Immortal Gourd, there were still Six Paths of Sword Qi colliding with each other. Upon opening the gourd, the clear clash of Sword Qi could be heard, but as the Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi entered the gourd, the sound of the Six Paths of Sword Qi dimmed.

These Six Paths of Sword Qi were refined by the Mystic Sky Aurora, with one gourd of Mystic Sky Aurora able to refine two paths of Sword Qi. Inside the gourd, it was like a small world, showing just how terrifying the Mystic Sky Sword Qi was.

The Six Paths of Sword Qi swam like fish, shuttling back and forth, incredibly sharp. Chen Shi had previously used this sword to break through the magical treasure formations of hundreds of immortals. Yet upon entering the Immortal Gourd, the Mystic Sky Sword Qi sank into the mire, becoming unable to move, even colliding weakly.

Chen Shi leaned in to look into the gourd, only to see that the wisp of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi inside coiled at the bottom like a gray dragon, not revealing the shape of the Infinite Diagram.

"Probably, only in this well could it form the Infinite Diagram."

He glanced around, noticing Feng Huixue was no longer by the well, likely having left when he was retrieving the Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi.

"A wisp of Ancestor Qi is not enough for refining treasure, better take a rest before collecting more."

Chen Shi's breath was somewhat scattered, collecting a wisp of Ancestor Qi was even more exhausting than a grand battle with a Heavenly Venerate, so he did not rush to collect Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi but went to observe the Eight Trigrams Dao Patterns.

Although these Dao Patterns were Divine Dao Patterns, he surprisingly could understand a portion and attempted to decipher them.

"If Granny Sha were here and saw these Dao Patterns, she would definitely be overjoyed," he thought to himself.

He pondered deeply, and deep in his consciousness, the imprint of the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy began to work again, assisting him in interpreting the first Dao Pattern.

Chen Shi suddenly felt his ears clear and mind bright, his thoughts spinning faster than before, with various profound and mysterious insights of Daoist skills flooding in, unveiling the mysteries contained in the Dao Patterns.

"If there were Fuluo Village Spirit Pills at this time, I could certainly gain more insights."

Chen Shi studied for a long time, suddenly feeling dizzy, nearly fainting, and hurriedly stopped, not daring to read further.

Even the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy has its limits, not omnipotent. When it fails to decipher, Chen Shi's mental faculties would be damaged, at worst fainting, or at worst, his brain marrow flowing out through his nostrils, dying from mental exhaustion.

Chen Shi stood up, suddenly dizzy and seeing stars, swaying and hurriedly steadying himself.

At this moment, a voice said: "Are you... the Crown Prince? Why are you studying the Heavenly Emperor's Dao Patterns?"

Chen Shi steadied himself, his vision still blurry, and after a moment, he gradually saw the figure in front of him clearly.

The one who came was Lady Houtu, her appearance dignified and beautiful, but her eyes seemed larger, bright and flickering with a mischievous glint.

She wore a floor-length light red dress underneath, with an outer layer of right-opening light pink chiffon embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, a layer of pale blue gauze on top, with an outermost layer of printed chiffon.

Each layer was so thin, slightly translucent, accentuating the snow whiteness of her skin.

"Godmother..." Chen Shi just uttered this and immediately realized, his godmother was in the West Bull New Continent, impossible to appear here.

The Lady Houtu chuckled and said, "Godmother? I am the Emperor Houtu of the Void World, having been ousted, not your godmother. But you calling me godmother isn't exactly wrong either."

She approached Chen Shi, looking him up and down, then glanced at the Dao Patterns on the ground, smiling, "Were you just looking at the Heavenly Emperor's Eight Trigrams Dao Patterns? You could understand them?"

Chen Shi answered honestly, "I understand a bit."

"You are quite strange. These Dao Patterns were left by the Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi Family, clearly Divine Dao, but you practice the Immortal Dao, how can you understand them?"

Lady Houtu of the Void World circled him a few times, saying, "These Dao Patterns were left by the Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi Family when suppressing the Xuanhuang Sea. Since the Heavenly Palace was established, countless immortals could not understand them. You actually could! There must be something unusual about you!"

Chen Shi curiously asked, "Lady, you were ousted?"

Lady Houtu put aside the oddity about him, vexed, "Indeed, those rebels occupied the underworld, took my divine position, I could not beat them, returning here to find something to defeat them and reclaim the underworld."

Chen Shi couldn't help but laugh, this Lady Houtu of the Void World differed in temperament from both his godmother and Emperor Houtu.

Lady Houtu approached the well, peering inside, but was not drawn into it, saying, "I must obtain something good to reclaim the Daoist Field."

She glanced over at Chen Shi, who was recuperating by the side, her eyes twinkling, and laughed, "Crown Prince, go into the well and fetch something for your godmother. I can't go down this well."
