I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 620 - 237: The Daoist Venerable’s Gift! Mysterious Key!_3

Chen Mo looked at those obscure and difficult terms, and couldn’t help feeling a headache.

Although he was supposedly skilled in both Daoist and Martial cultivation, the Dao Power in his body came from the Empress and he hadn’t truly practiced Daoist Skills. His foundation was quite weak, and his theoretical knowledge was severely lacking.

Even with the annotations written by the Daoist Venerable, he still understood only half of it, making it difficult to grasp the essence.

"Strange, logically, as soon as you acquire the Cultivation Technique, it should immediately trigger a system prompt, allowing you to add points with one click."

"But this time, there’s no reaction at all."

Chen Mo rubbed his chin in silent contemplation.

Could it be that he didn’t meet the conditions for cultivation?

He turned the book to the page recorded with the Palm Thunder.

He had completely mastered this Divine Skill, so reading it posed no obstacles. The annotations below benefited him greatly, deepening his understanding of the Divine Skill.

A prompt flashed before his eyes:

["Mystic Sect’s Heavenly Gang True Skill · Palm Thunder" proficiency increased, current level is Intermediate (1/2).]

"Not bad, this is equivalent to saving two Dao Essence Crystals." Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.

He opened his palm, and Thunder Patterns emerged.

Plasma streamed forth, the color transitioning from purple to golden red, then transforming to dark blue.

"Purple Sky, Supreme Unity, Jade Pivot, switching between these three kinds of thunder is seamless, and they can even extend out, with a damage range reaching three meters, which is quite an improvement."

During the battle with Chu Heng, the power of Palm Thunder was completely exhibited.

Especially against evil Magic Techniques, the attribute restraint elevated its power to another level.

Next, Chen Mo turned to the Green Lotus Seed page, and after careful reading, another prompt appeared:

["Mystic Sect’s Heavenly Gang True Skill · Green Lotus Seed" proficiency increased, current level is Intermediate (1/2).]

Within his Dantian, the lotus seed shell cracked, and tender green sprouts rapidly grew, forming green leaves resembling copper coins.

Simultaneously, the white roots below spread deeply, continuously absorbing Primordial Qi and Essence.

The lotus leaves and Golden Branch illuminated each other, creating a vibrant scene inside the Dantian.

"Green Lotus Seed can alter constitution, enhancing Primordial Qi affinity; it also nourishes the Creation Golden Branch... it seems that soon, the first Heavenly Primordial Spirit Fruit will surely be obtained."

Chen Mo remembered his agreement with Ling Ningzhi.

After all, Ling Yishan was Ling Ningzhi’s biological grandfather. Even without a contract constraint, he would try to gather materials to help the other refine the Creation Golden Pill to extend life.

"Only Palm Thunder and Green Lotus Seed are effective..."

"It seems that to learn other Divine Skills, like before, they still need to be personally taught by the Daoist Venerable."

Chen Mo put the ancient book away.

Then, with a flip of the wrist, a Token appeared in his hand.

This Token was nothing special, just an ordinary wooden plaque, with "Tianshu" carved on the front and complex Mysterious cloud patterns on the back.

"Yet another plaque..."

"Continue like this and I might really start a wholesale business..."

Chen Mo shook his head, not taking it seriously, and casually pocketed it.

His gaze locked onto the last item.

It was a bronze key, looking rather old, covered with rust marks. He had studied it for a long time, still not knowing what it was for...

"Since the Daoist Venerable gave this to me, it naturally has meaning."

"But regardless of injecting True Yuan or Primordial Qi, there’s no reaction... what exactly does this open?"

Chen Mo furrowed his brows, puzzled.

Right then, his gaze fell upon the Storage Ring, and suddenly, a stroke of genius hit him.

"Could it be... it needs to first acknowledge an owner?"

He forced a drop of blood from his fingertip again, dripping it onto the bronze key.

Buzz—

Instantly, the bronze key began to tremble.

Then it flew out of his hand, suspended in the air, the blade pierced into the void, the handle turning clockwise on its own...

Crunch—

A crisp sound rang out.

The void in front of him shattered like a mirror, revealing a portal of light.

And behind the portal was an Immortal Mountain shrouded in clouds and mist; from a bird’s-eye view, one could faintly see a small courtyard perched atop the mountain.

?

Chen Mo was momentarily stunned.

Why did this place look so familiar?

Wasn’t this the place Ji Hongxiu took him and Ling Ningzhi last time, also known as the Enlightenment Land...?

"This key turned out to be the entrance to a hidden peak?"

"What’s the Daoist Venerable’s meaning with this? Is he planning for a secret meeting here with me?"

His thoughts raced, roughly gauging the Daoist Venerable’s intentions.

To avoid Yu Youhan’s surveillance, the next time they need to suppress Dao Patterns, they would meet covertly through this method... Damn, why does this feel like an illicit meeting?

"There’s no such thing as a free lunch."

"The Daoist Venerable has given me so many benefits, naturally expecting returns... Never thought I would fall to the point of having to sell my body."

Chen Mo sighed lightly.

But he had no choice.

Defying a woman’s will might just lead to jail, but defying a female sovereign’s will could cost him his life.

"Hmph, you’ll see, I will eventually prove the Dao! Let you witness the sharpness of the sword of Brother Chen!" Chen Mo silently set a grand ambition, though uncertain if dual personalities experience dual sensations...

Knock knock—

As he indulged in wild thoughts, a knocking sound suddenly echoed.

Chen Mo collected the key and spoke out: "Come in."

The door swung open, Shen Zhixia floated in, like a fledgling swallows returning to the forest, she dove into his arms.

"Brother!"

She hugged Chen Mo’s neck, staring at him with moist eyes full of infatuation, her voice soft and tender, "Brother, when did you come back? You didn’t tell me... where have you been all these days? I really missed you~"
