On the Avenue.

Chapter 618 Demonic Bone in the Well
Chen Shi was short of some materials for refining treasures, so he asked tentatively, "How about taking some?"

Feng Huixue walked down the Rainbow Bridge and said with a smile, "Your Highness, please follow me."

Chen Shi followed her, left Hebo Bridge, crossed Yushi Lane, passed Fenghou Gate, and came to Ruizhu Daohua Palace on Xuanwu Street.

There is a well in Daohua Palace, with eight trigrams of Taoist patterns beside the well, which are very delicate and evolve the various great ways of heaven, earth, wind, thunder, mountains, lakes, water and fire vividly.

Just as Chen Shi was about to study it carefully, Feng Huixue said with a smile, "Your Highness, that is the Dao pattern of the gods, which immortals cannot read."

Chen Shi was about to look away when he was suddenly startled. He felt that although the Taoist patterns on the edge of the well were obscure, he could understand some of the mysteries.

"Could it be that Tianji Ce can crack these eight divine Dao patterns?"

He was puzzled, and followed Feng Huixue to the well and asked, "Senior Sister, who left the Bagua Dao pattern by the well?"

"I don't know. When I arrived at the Xuanhuang Sea, the well was already here."

Feng Huixue guessed, "I think it was engraved by the Queen herself when the Heavenly Palace was built."

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the Queen. The Queen is a deity of the earth. Some of the principles in the Eight Trigrams are not within the control of the deity of the earth, but within the jurisdiction of the gods of heaven. The Queen may not understand them."

The earthly gods in the Eight Trigrams include Kun, Gen, Li, Dui, Kan, and Water, while Qian and Zhen do not belong to the earthly gods, so Chen Shi made this guess.

He examined it carefully and found that the Dao patterns on the side of the well were extremely profound, indicating that this deity had attained great attainments in these eight great ways.

"I don't know who left it here, but it was probably left there by the gods when they were building the Heavenly Palace."

Feng Huixue had no intention of delving into the origin of the Eight Diagrams Dao Pattern. She smiled and said, "The well contains the Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi. If Your Highness wants to collect it, you must use your own magic power to fish it out. In the past, several Buddhas from the West came to our Houde Palace to ask for ancestral qi. If they wanted to refine magic weapons, they also relied on their own abilities to fish it out themselves."

Chen Shi looked back at the Bagua Dao Pattern, feeling confused.

His Yin and Yang Dao was originally derived from the Eight Trigrams, and from the Eight Trigrams, he derived the 64 transformations of ghosts and gods and the 64 realms of ghosts and gods. After becoming an immortal, Chen Shi also began to transform his understanding of the Eight Trigrams into the Dao patterns of the immortal way.

But the immortal patterns he transformed into were far inferior to the divine patterns on the stone slabs beside the well!

The Taoist patterns on the stone slab evolved the eight great ways of heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountains and marshes to the extreme. Chen Shi felt that they were no less impressive than the Taoist patterns on the blue stele of Lingbao Taoist. There was absolutely no way they were left by the gods who built the heavenly palace.

“Perhaps only the Queen knows who left these Dao patterns. Right now, it is more important to collect the Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi!”

Chen Shi stood beside Feng Huixue and looked into the well. He saw that the well was bright and there was actually another world inside.

In his eyes, the sun, moon and stars in the well were getting closer and closer, and the ground was getting bigger and bigger. He was shocked and said, "I am falling into the well!"

At this moment, his shoulders tightened and his body stopped suddenly.

Feng Huixue grabbed his shoulders and pulled him out of the well, saying with a smile: "The ancestral energy in this well is extremely dangerous. Be careful when looking into the well. If you fall in, you will be assimilated by the ancestral energy and die. If Your Highness wants to observe the ancestral energy in the well, use your peripheral vision to see it, otherwise you will fall into the world evolving in the well and meet with an unexpected disaster."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shi glanced at the ancestral energy in the well, and indeed, he could see the Xuanhuang ancestral energy clearly.

The Xuanhuang Qi is a mixture of blue-black Qi and yellow Qi, but they are incompatible and distinct. However, the Xuanhuang ancestral Qi is a state of chaos mixed with Xuanqi and yellow Qi, which slowly rotates in the well and emits a faint thundering sound.

Every time a flash of lightning bursts out, one can see a new world created in the Xuanhuang ancestral energy in the well, with mountains and rivers in place, the sun and the moon in place, and the stars moving.

When the lightning dies down, the world will also be annihilated and disappear.

"The thing in the well is the Wujitu!"

Chen Shi was about to take a closer look when suddenly the world spun around him, and he was about to fall into the well again!
Feng Huixue quickly reached out and grabbed his shoulders, saving him, and said earnestly: "Your Highness, when you are watching, you must not be tempted to look too closely. The more you want to look carefully, the easier it is to fall into the trap."

Chen Shi thanked him: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will be careful."

He was still frightened and puzzled: "The Xuanhuang Qi is obviously more suitable for evolving the Taiji diagram, so why did the Xuanhuang ancestral qi in the well evolve into the Wuji diagram?"

A world was born directly from the Wuji Diagram, which shocked him greatly. It was a Taoist method that he had never explored before.

However, this well is very dangerous and you will fall into it if you are not careful.

Only if you are not careful can you escape. This goes against common sense.

"First, fish for the Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi."

He calmed his mind, and a wisp of his spiritual consciousness went ahead and dived into the well, grabbing a wisp of Xuanhuang ancestral energy.

The moment his spiritual consciousness touched the Xuanhuang ancestral energy, he felt all kinds of strange Taoist sounds emanating from his mind, entering his mind and making him dizzy.

Chen Shi immediately mobilized his magic power and followed the wisp of spiritual consciousness into the well, entangled with the wisp of Xuanhuang ancestral energy. Then he suddenly exerted force with both hands and lifted them upwards. His arms suddenly stopped, and the tendons under his skin were stretched tight and his muscles were torn and sore!
"So heavy!"

Although he was well prepared, he was still shocked by the heaviness of the Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi. He only caught a wisp of Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi as thick as a hair, but was unable to lift it out of the well!
"Can we really use this thing to make a magic weapon and sacrifice it?"

Chen Shi was a little skeptical. This kind of ancestral energy, let alone being refined into a magic weapon, would probably crush an immortal to the point of breaking bones and tendons even if it was pressed on someone else!

"After the immortal weapon is sacrificed, speed is required to refine the ancestral energy into a magic weapon. I'm afraid speed is out of the question."

He took a long breath, activated the Hunyuan Taoist Scripture, mobilized the power of the Daoxu Taoist realm, and finally slowly lifted a wisp of Xuanhuang ancestral qi from the well.

Chen Shi held his true energy in his mouth and kept his arms steady. He felt that what he had fished up was not a wisp of ancestral energy, but a bright moon, which was terribly heavy!
He lifted himself up little by little, clouds rose above his head, and his magic power increased to the extreme.

Chen Shi felt that the higher he went, the heavier the ancestral energy became. Seeing that he could not hold on for long, he was startled and immediately mobilized the power of the demonic realm in the well.

“So light!”

He had just mobilized the power of the demonic realm in the well, and then a wisp of ancestral energy rose into the air from the well and actually dragged him into the air!
The two great Dao realms of Daoxu and Demon Realm emerged behind Chen Shi’s mind. He tried his best to steady his body, and that’s why he was not dragged away.

However, this wisp of ancestral energy was changing in the air, as if it was about to transform into a living being and escape.

He mobilized the power of the third Dao realm, Xiniu Xinzhou, and only then was he able to suppress this ray of Xuanhuang ancestral energy.

Without hesitation, Chen Shi raised the Purple Sky Immortal Gourd and put the wisp of Xuanhuang ancestral energy into the gourd.

There are still six sword energies in the fairy gourd, colliding with each other. When the gourd is opened, the crisp sound of the sword energies colliding can be heard. However, when the Xuanhuang ancestral energy falls into the gourd, the sound of the six sword energies becomes dull.

These six sword energies were refined by Xuantian Aurora. One gourd of Xuantian Aurora can refine two sword energies, and the inside of the gourd is like a small world. It can be seen how terrifying the Xuantian sword energy is.

The six sword energies were like swimming fish, moving freely and extremely sharp. Chen Shi had previously used this sword to break through the magic weapon formations of thousands of immortals. However, after entering the immortal gourd, the Xuantian sword energy was like falling into a quagmire, unable to run anymore, and was powerless when colliding.

Chen Shi leaned his head to look into the gourd, and saw that the wisp of Xuanhuang ancestral energy in the immortal gourd was coiled at the bottom like a blue dragon, and did not reveal the shape of the Wuji diagram.

"Perhaps only in this well can the Wuji diagram be formed."

He looked around and saw that Feng Huixue was not at the well. He thought that she left when he was collecting the Xuanhuang ancestral energy.

"One wisp of ancestral energy is not enough to refine treasures. I will collect more after resting for a while."

Chen Shi's breath was a little scattered. Collecting a wisp of ancestral energy was more tiring than fighting a battle with Tianzun. He was not in a hurry to collect the Xuanhuang ancestral energy, but looked at the Bagua Dao pattern. Although this pattern was a divine Dao pattern, he could actually understand part of it and tried to decipher it.

“If Granny Sha saw these Dao patterns here, she would be ecstatic.” He thought to himself.

He pondered carefully, and deep in his consciousness, the imprint of the Heavenly Secret Strategy started to work again, helping him to decipher the first Dao pattern.

Chen Shi suddenly felt his ears and eyes sharper, and his brain worked faster than before. All kinds of profound and mysterious Taoist insights came to his mind, and the mysteries contained in the Taoist patterns were also solved by him.

"If we have the Fuluo Village Elixir at this time, we will definitely be able to obtain more mysteries."

After studying for a long time, Chen Shi suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted. He stopped reading immediately and dared not read any more.

Even if it is the Heavenly Secret Strategy, wisdom has its limits, and it is not omnipotent. If the Heavenly Secret Strategy cannot be deciphered, Chen Shi will suffer brain damage, which may cause him to faint or even die of brain marrow flowing out of his nostrils, causing him to die of brain exhaustion.

Chen Shi stood up and suddenly felt dizzy and staggered. He hurried to steady himself.

At this time, a voice said: "You are... the prince? Why are you studying the Dao pattern of the emperor?"

Chen Shi stood firm, but his vision was still blurry. After a while, he gradually saw the figure in front of him.

The person who came was Hou Tu Niangniang, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, but her eyes seemed bigger and brighter, with a bit of mischievous cunning.

She wore a light red floor-length skirt inside, and a layer of light pink tulle embroidered with dragons and phoenixes on the right side outside, a layer of light blue tulle outside that, and the outermost layer was printed tulle.

Each layer of the dress is very thin and slightly transparent, making the skin look snow-white.

"Godmother..." Chen Shi just said this when he suddenly realized that his godmother was in Xiniu Xinzhou and it was impossible for her to appear here.

The Queen Mother of Earth chuckled and said, "Godmother? I am the Queen Mother of Earth of the Empty World. I was driven out after my power was seized. I am not your godmother. But it is not wrong for you to call me godmother."

She came in front of Chen Shi, looked him up and down, then looked at the Dao patterns on the ground, and said with a smile: "You were looking at the Emperor's Bagua Dao patterns just now? Do you understand it?"

Chen Shi answered honestly: "I know a little bit."

"You are a very strange person. This pattern was left by Emperor Fuxi. It is clearly the way of the gods. You practice the way of immortals. How can you understand it?"

The empty-world-like Hou Tu Niangniang circled around him a few times and said, "This pattern was left by Emperor Fuxi when he suppressed the Xuanhuang Sea. Since the construction of the Heavenly Palace, countless immortals have been unable to understand it. You can actually understand it! There must be something strange about you!"

Chen Shi asked curiously, "The queen was driven out by someone?"

The Queen Mother of the Underworld ignored his strange behavior and said in annoyance, "Isn't it? Those rebels occupied the underworld and took my throne. I couldn't defeat them, so I came back to find some housekeeping weapons to overthrow them and take back the underworld."

Chen Shi couldn't help laughing. This Hou Tu Niangniang, who was as empty as the world, had a completely different personality from his godmother and Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu came to the well and looked into it, but she was not sucked into it. She said, "I must get something good to take back the Taoist temple."

She glanced at Chen Shi who was recuperating nearby, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Prince, go to the well and help your godmother get something out. I can't get down into this well."

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 Ancestral Qi."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu smiled and said, "Feng girl has long hair but little knowledge. What does she know? I will draw a Wuji map on your back, and you can enter the well without worrying about being hurt by the ancestral energy. You only need to look at the bottom of the well and you will fall into the well. No matter how hard I look, I can't get in."

"Wujitu?"

Chen Shi's heart moved slightly. No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see the Wuji diagram in the well clearly. He had been itching to see it, so he went to the well immediately.

The Queen Mother Hou Tu drew a Wuji map on his back and said, "With this map on you, you can enter the well, and the ancestral energy will not be able to hurt you for a while. But my magic power is shallow, and I can't hold on for too long. If you help me find the treasure, I will help you collect the ancestral energy and teach you the method of refining the ancestral energy. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

Chen Shi was very excited and said, "What godmother is looking for is."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu took off the red string that tied her hair, tied one end around his waist, and said, "It's a whisk. When you go in, search for it immediately. If you see other treasures, don't touch them, just take this whisk back. When you come back, pull the red string around your waist, and I'll know."

Chen Shi stood by the well, a little hesitant, but still looked into the well. Then he felt dizzy and fell into the well.

When Chen Shi landed on the ground, he stood up and looked around, but saw endless bones at the bottom of the well. There was no end in sight.

He raised his head and saw the Xuanhuang ancestral energy floating in the sky. From time to time, huge tornadoes came down from the sky, like a giant stirring a pot of soup, stirring the bones vigorously.

Countless bones flew up in the strong wind of the Xuanhuang ancestral energy and entered the cloud layer of the Xuanhuang ancestral energy. After a while, the bones fell like rain.

Chen Shi hurriedly looked around for the whereabouts of the whisk.

There are countless bones on the ground, and there are also huge magical weapons inserted, as if suppressing the land and the bones on the land.

Each skeleton contained a strong demonic aura. Even though Chen Shi practiced magic, he was intimidated by these skeletons and felt that he was far away from it.

The evil energy was corrosive and extremely strong, and there was a tendency for his immortal path to be assimilated into the evil path!

"We can't stay here for long! Whisk, whisk..."

Chen Shi's eyes lit up as he suddenly saw a huge skeletal head with white hair flying up into the sky, reaching a thousand feet long.

"This is the whisk that the Queen was talking about!"

Chen Shi immediately rushed towards the skull. At the same time, the entire sea of ​​bones seemed to come alive. Skeletons crawled up one after another and chased after him, shouting, "Living people! There are living people coming in!"

"Our chance to escape!"

"Catch him, don't miss this opportunity!"

Chen Shi realized that his own vitality was rapidly draining away and flowing towards these bones. He hurriedly increased his speed, and in a few jumps, he came to the side of the skull. Without saying a word, he hugged the cervical vertebrae of the skull. His body suddenly swelled, and in an instant he turned into a giant, struggling to pull upwards!

"Wow!"

He pulled out a piece of bone from the ground, and the true appearance of the huge whisk was revealed.

Chen Shi didn't bother to take a closer look. He pulled the red rope around his waist. Suddenly, a huge force came over him and pulled him towards the cloud of Xuanhuang ancestral energy.

Countless skeletons of great demons rose into the air and followed Chen Shi into the clouds. Suddenly, the power of the Wujitu exploded, shaking them all down.

Chen Shi landed at the edge of the well, and his body gradually recovered. He was just about to look into the well to see if there were any demon skeletons chasing him, but was pulled aside by the Queen Mother Hou Tu, who said with a smile, "Are you going to die? Do you want to go in again?"

Chen Shi suddenly came to his senses and looked away.

The goddess Hou Tu was delighted to receive the white bone whisk and said with a smile, "With this treasure, we can find our temple again!"

She walked out excitedly, and her voice came: "Prince, stay here first and suppress this well. After all, there is a treasure missing to suppress it. Your Highness must be careful, something will crawl out of the well! You just need to beat the thing that crawls out back into the well! I will return this treasure after I seize the dojo!"

Chen Shi was stunned, watching her go away, and suddenly realized: "Will something crawl out?"
