Above the Great Dao

Chapter 1312 616: Demon Bone in the Well (Part 3)

Chen Shi opened his eyes and said, "I can't go down this well either. Senior Sister Feng said that if you fall into the well, you will be assimilated into the Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi."

Lady Houtu chuckled, "That girl Feng, her hair is long but her knowledge is short, what does she know? I'll draw a Wuji Diagram on your back, then you can enter the well without worrying about being harmed by the Ancestor Qi. You only need to take a glance at the bottom of the well, then you'll fall in, but I can't seem to get in no matter how I try."

"Wuji Diagram?"

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly. He had long been eager to see the Wuji Diagram in the well but could never see it clearly. He immediately approached the well.

Lady Houtu drew a Wuji Diagram on his back and said, "With this diagram on you, you can enter the well, and the Ancestor Qi won't harm you for the time being. But my mana is shallow and won't last long. Help me retrieve that treasure, and I'll help you collect the Ancestor Qi and teach you the magic skill to refine it, ensuring you'll be satisfied!"

Chen Shi was greatly tempted and asked, "What is the thing you're looking for, Godmother?"

Lady Houtu took the red rope tying up her hair and fastened one end to his waist, saying, "It's a horsetail whisk. Once you enter, immediately search for this item. If you see other treasures, don't touch them, just bring this whisk back. When returning, pull the red rope on your waist, and I'll know."

Chen Shi stood at the well's edge, hesitating slightly, but still glanced into the well. Suddenly, the world spun around him, and he fell into the well.

When Chen Shi landed, he stood up and looked around, only to see the bottom of the well was an endless expanse of bones, stretching out of sight.

He looked up and saw the sky filled with swirling Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi. Massive tornadoes occasionally plunged from above, like giants stirring a pot of soup, vigorously tossing the bones around.

Countless bones rose in the wild winds of the Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi, entered the cloud layer of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi, and after a while, fell like rain.

Chen Shi hurriedly looked in all directions, searching for the whereabouts of the horsetail whisk.

The ground was littered with countless bones, with enormous magical treasures stabbed into them, seemingly suppressing the land and the bones upon it.

Each skeleton was filled with intense Demon Qi; even though Chen Shi cultivated the Demon Path, he felt subdued by these bones, sensing a significant gap between them and himself.

The invasion of Demon Qi was exceedingly intense, subtly threatening to transform even his Immortal Dao into the Demon Path!

"This place is not for staying! The whisk, the whisk..."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up as he suddenly saw a gigantic white skeletal head, with strands of white hair waving and floating skyward, stretching hundreds of meters.

"This is the horsetail whisk Lady Houtu mentioned!"

Chen Shi immediately charged toward the white skull. At the same time, the entire sea of bones seemed to come alive, with skeletons rising and chasing after him, shouting, "A living person! A living person has come in!"

"Our chance to escape!"

"Grab him, don't let this opportunity slip!"

Chen Shi noticed his life force rapidly draining away, flowing into the bones, and hurriedly sped up, leaping several times to reach the giant skull. Without hesitation, he grabbed the neckbone of the white skull, his body swelling into the form of a giant, and fiercely pulled upward!

"Crash!"

A segment of white bone was pulled out from the ground by him, revealing the gigantic horsetail whisk.

Chen Shi couldn't spare a moment to look, pulled the red rope at his waist, and immediately a tremendous force struck, pulling him into the cloud layer of Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi.

Countless skeletons of the Great Demons soared after Chen Shi, crashing into the cloud layer. Suddenly, the power of the Wuji Diagram erupted, shaking them all off.

Chen Shi landed at the well's edge, his body gradually returning to normal. His heart still racing, he was about to look into the well to see if any demon bones were chasing after him when Lady Houtu pulled him to the side and laughed, "Are you courting death? Want to go in again?"

Chen Shi immediately came to his senses and withdrew his gaze.

Lady Houtu, delighted with the White Bone Feather Duster, laughed, "With this treasure, I can reclaim my Daoist Field!"

She eagerly walked away, her voice trailing behind her, "The Crown Prince will remain here to suppress this well. After all, a piece of treasure suppressing it is lost, Your Highness must be cautious of something climbing out! Should anything emerge, just beat it back into the well! I'll return this treasure after I reclaim the Daoist Field!"

Chen Shi was briefly stunned, watching her vanish into the distance, suddenly realizing, "Something will climb out?"
