I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 619 - 237: The Daoist Venerable’s Gift! Mysterious Key!_2

Ji Hongxiu sighed softly, murmuring to herself, "Enough, thinking too much is useless, better to let things take their course..."

Unconsciously, the handsome face appeared in her mind.

When the next Dao Pattern acts up, will I be able to see him?

In the past, she would avoid the pain from Karma Fire Burning God, even felt fear, but now there was an anticipation she hasn’t realized...

...

...

Tiandu City, Chen Mansion.

After undergoing rounds of interrogation from Chen Zhuo and He Yuzhi, Chen Mo vowed promisingly that there was absolutely nothing inappropriate between him and the Daoist Venerable or the Empress, thus barely escaping disaster...

Watching Chen Mo’s departing figure, the two furrowed their brows.

Clearly, they didn’t believe a word of the boy’s tales.

"What on earth is going on?" Chen Zhuo rubbed his temples, his head aching.

Though the reasons were unclear, it was certain that the relationship between these three was exceptionally unusual.

"Mo’er has exceptional talent, and handsome looks, being chosen by the Empress as a concubine is understandable." He Yuzhi mused, "However, from the Empress’s attitude, it seems their relationship is not as simple as a fleeting affair."

"Moreover, the Empress rejected the alliance between the Chen and Shen Families, and even asked me about future daughter-in-law requirements..."

"Could it be..."

Thinking of this, He Yuzhi swallowed nervously, his throat tightening.

Could the Empress be aiming for the Chen Family Wife position?!

If one day she really enters through the door, how would their relationship be defined?

Consort Yu calls her mother, she calls Consort Yu Empress, each addressing the other as such?

That’s too absurd!

He Yuzhi shuddered, not daring to think further, quickly banishing this rebellious thought from his mind.

"Impossible."

"The Empress has expansive plans and high ambitions, how could she be entangled in matters of love?"

Chen Zhuo fiddled with the teacup, shaking his head, "Besides, no matter what, the Emperor is still around, the Six Palaces have the Empress presiding, the Empress wouldn’t do such things..."

"However, attention must be paid to the Daoist Venerable."

"Tianshu Pavilion excels at divination and calculation, perhaps they’re playing a big game..."

He Yuzhi furrowed his brows, helplessly saying, "This brat not only provokes Qingxuan but even her master... Our small temple, Chen Family, can’t accommodate these few great Buddha statues!"

"It’s all because of your spoiling!" Chen Zhuo flicked his sleeve, sternly saying, "I’ve said before, indulgence is akin to harming him, without your constant indulgence, how would he end up like this?"

He Yuzhi glanced at him, saying faintly, "Who was bragging about tiger father, no poor son earlier? Seeing your son so charming, you seem quite proud?"

Chen Zhuo’s expression stiffened, he cleared his throat, "You misheard, I said ’tiger father produces a worthless son’, my single-minded devotion he hasn’t learned at all..."

He Yuzhi sneered, "Still being stubborn, just wait for the evening’s..."

Chen Zhuo: "..."

...

...

In the bedroom.

Chen Mo leaned against the headboard, examining the ring in his hand.

This ring was neither metallic nor stone, it felt hefty in hand, but looked poor, the kind discarded without a second glance.

However, based on his understanding of the Daoist Venerable, things given by them were certainly not ordinary.

"Since it’s a Storage Ring, it should, like the Sumeru Bag, require blood to recognize the owner, right?"

Chen Mo forced a drop of blood from his fingertip, letting it fall onto the ring.

The moment the blood touched it, it was swiftly absorbed like a sponge soaking water, and the ring surface appeared cracked, with beams of light shooting out, as dazzling as a rising sun.

Shedding the grey shell, its true form was revealed.

It was golden, engraved with dark red patterns, the shifting glow resembling swirling flames, appearing quite mystical.

He put his mind into it, instantly becoming dumbstruck.

It seemed he was within an enormous space, not a void chaos, but akin to an independent world, with mountains, waters, limitless spirit fields spreading beyond sight!

In comparison to a Sumeru Bag, it was like the moon to a spark!

Beyond the vast space, myriad rare spiritual materials filled the spirit fields!

"How is this a Storage Ring, it’s more akin to a medium Secret Realm!"

Chen Mo clicked his tongue.

Although he expected the Daoist Venerable wouldn’t give him junk, he never imagined such generosity!

"And that’s not all..."

After recognizing the owner, the space belonged to him entirely, he held full control over its contents.

With a thought, three items appeared before him.

They were an ancient book, a key, and a token.

Chen Mo’s gaze first fell on the ancient book, its yellowed cover embossed with the words "Mystic Sect’s Heavenly Gang True Skill."

Opening it, he saw dense, small-font text.

Beyond the Palm Thunder and Green Lotus Seed he had learned, there were Cloud Lifting, Dusk and Dawn Transformation, Floating Life Dream, Nine Luminaries Body... over twenty Daoist Divine Skills recorded!

Below each Divine Skill, annotations handwritten by the Daoist Venerable were present.

Including notes, routes for power operation, solving doubts... the details were exceedingly thorough!

Chen Mo, having personally experienced the power of two Divine Skills, naturally knew the ancient book’s value, releasing any singular Magic Technique could incite chaos in Jianghu!

However, he now faced a crucial problem...

"I can’t understand it!"

"I recognize every word, but together they look so unfamiliar?"
