Chapter 620 Xuan Huang Dao Pattern
The empty-world goddess Hou Tu looked him up and down, and felt that the current Chen Shi had a much deeper cultivation level than the previous Chen Shi, and his attainments in Taoism were even more profound, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Little did she know that although Chen Shi looked relaxed, he was actually extremely nervous. He did not dare to waste even a moment of time, and tried his best to decipher the Eight Trigrams Taoist patterns left by the Emperor. Finally, he deciphered all eight kinds of Taoist patterns and converted them into Immortal Taoist patterns.

Things would jump out of the well from time to time, but they were all suppressed by him using the Bagua Taoist Pattern of Emperor Fuxi.

This is the reason why Her Majesty noticed that Chen Shi’s attainments in Taoism had greatly improved.

As his attainments in Taoism improved, Chen Shi's cultivation also greatly improved, which could be said to be a blessing in disguise.

The queen came to the well, looked into it, and then looked at the burnt white bone scorpion tail, and she was even more surprised.

She originally thought that Chen Shi would ask for help from other people in Houde Palace, or alarm Hou Tu Huang Di God, but she didn't expect that Chen Shi could actually block these great demon skeletons with his own strength.

But she didn't know about the dangers Chen Shi had experienced.

The empress threw the bone whisk into the well. The bone whisk passed through the Wuji diagram and stuck into the endless white bones, leaving only the white skull and fluttering white hair.

When this treasure was restored, it combined perfectly with the Taoist patterns of other magic weapons to suppress the skeletons of those great demons.

Many skeletons looked up to the sky, roared in anger, and then unwillingly fell silent, resisting the refining of the Wuji Diagram.

"Since the prince has fulfilled his trust, I naturally cannot break my promise."

The empress sat on the edge of the well, looked Chen Shi up and down, and said with a smile, "No wonder Hou Tu of Xinzhou, Xiniu, recognized you as her adopted son. If it were me, I would also recognize you. How did you feel when you caught a ray of Xuanhuang ancestral energy earlier?"

Chen Shi said: "It was heavy, extremely heavy. But when I pulled it out of the well, it became very light, so light that it could pull me up to the sky."

"That's right! This is exactly the Xuanhuang transformation."

The empress was shaking her legs excitedly, and Chen Shi couldn't help but worry that she would fall into the well and die.

Fortunately, she did not fall.

"You see, the light and floating Xuan Qi is the sky, and the heavy and turbid Huang Qi is the earth. The sky and the earth are originally formed by different Qi. Huang Qi has an extra change, from Qi to substance. But Zu Qi is the state when Xuan and Huang are not separated. It can change into Huang Qi or Xuan Qi, or it can maintain the state of Xuan and Huang at the same time."

The queen said slowly, "The secret of using it lies in your mind. It's all in your control. You can make it light or heavy. The secret of control lies in the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern. Since you can learn the Shendao Dao Pattern of Emperor Fuxi, I think the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern of my lineage should be no problem."

A wisp of incense flew out from her fingertips, and the fragrance gradually deformed and condensed in the air, forming a mysterious and strange avenue texture, showing the mystery of the Xuanhuang Dao pattern.

Chen Shi looked carefully and saw the distracting thoughts of many living beings in the smell of incense, as if there were many noisy voices in his ears, as if countless people were burning incense and praying, kowtowing and making wishes to Hou Tu Niangniang.

For immortals who are accustomed to having a pure and clean mind, these chanting sounds are distractions that interfere with their practice and must be discarded. Therefore, there are absolutely no such distractions in the immortals' Taoist patterns.

Putting aside the distracting thoughts that disturbed his mind, the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern was still mysterious and difficult to understand. But strangely enough, Chen Shi actually understood part of the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern!

"The mysterious and yellow energy will eventually transform into heaven and earth, which is somewhat similar to the Qiankun Dao pattern in the Bagua Dao pattern of Emperor Fuxi."

The queen smiled and said, "You have comprehended a part of the divine way's Qiankun Dao Pattern from the Bagua Dao Pattern, so it should be natural for you to comprehend a part of the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern."

While observing the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern, Chen Shi compared it with the Qiankun Dao Pattern and indeed found many similarities.

His heart was slightly moved: "Is the Queen just the Queen of the Earth who is as empty as the world?"

The world of Kongru is just like Xiniuzhou, it should also be an ordinary world. The goddess Hou Tu there should be responsible for the operation of the underworld. How could she have such a profound understanding of the Xuanhuang Daowen?
"In fact, it was not the goddess of the Kongru world who passed on the Xuanhuang Daowen to me, but Hou Tu Huang Di Ji who was using her mouth to pass on the Xuanhuang Daowen that she had comprehended to me." Chen Shi thought to himself.

He did not reveal it, but devoted himself wholeheartedly to contemplation.

The Xuanhuang Dao Pattern is much more complicated than the Qiankun Dao Pattern. The Qiankun Dao Pattern is derived from the Eight Trigrams, among which the Qian Dao corresponds to the Heavenly Dao, and the Kun Dao corresponds to the Earthly Dao.

When the Heavenly Court was established, the Three Pure Ones refined the Heavenly Dao magic weapon, but found that one magic weapon could not contain all the Heavenly Dao, so they finally refined thirty-six Heavenly Dao magic weapons to explain the Heavenly Dao. This shows how complicated the Heavenly Dao is.

Emperor Fuxi never mastered the complete Heavenly Dao, and his Heavenly Dao patterns were not complete.

The Xuanhuang Daowen is more complicated than the two Daos of heaven and earth. There is a process of transformation from the two Qi of Xuanhuang to heaven and earth, and the process is often the most complicated.

If Chen Shi had not first learned Fuxi's Eight Trigrams Taoist Patterns, if he had rashly faced the Xuanhuang Taoist Patterns, it would have been like reading a heavenly book, with no clue at all.

Therefore, he became even more certain that this person must be Hou Tu Huang Di Ji who took the opportunity to preach!

"You can slowly comprehend it. I have something else to do in my empty world. I will leave first!"

The queen ran out in a hurry, "Be careful not to let someone take over the temple again! If you have a good brain, just write it down and comprehend it slowly. When you understand something, you can fish for the Xuanhuang ancestral energy."

Chen Shi calmed down and concentrated on memorizing the Xuanhuang Dao patterns formed by the incense, and slowly comprehended them.

When he memorized the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern, it suddenly dissipated, turned into green smoke, floated in the air, and disappeared.

Chen Shi sat down calmly and pondered quietly. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he went to the stone slab beside the well and observed Fuxi's Eight Trigrams Taoist patterns, using other people's ideas to solve his own problems.

For several days in a row, he was contemplating the Xuanhuang Dao Patterns, forgetting to eat and sleep, and working without rest.

However, human power has its limits, and so does the divine strategy. Chen Shi felt that it would be difficult for him to comprehend more insights into the great Dao from the Xuanhuang Dao Pattern, so he stopped.

He tried to condense his own Xuanhuang Dao patterns and refine them into the Dao field.

The Xuanhuang Dao Patterns he had comprehended were still shallow, and he could only barely understand part of the principles. If he wanted to completely decipher Hou Tu Huang Di Ji's Xuanhuang Dao Patterns into Immortal Dao Patterns, he was afraid he still had a long way to go.

When Chen Shi came to the well, a ray of divine power flew out, like a silk ribbon, hanging into the well and tying a ray of Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi. With a slight movement of his mind, the ray of Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi rose from the well as if it had no weight at all.

The Xuanhuang ancestral energy wrapped around his fingertips, swimming slowly like a young dragon.

Chen Shi thought about the wonderful use of energy that Hou Tu Niangniang had mentioned, and kept it in his heart. The wisp of Xuanhuang ancestral energy between his fingers and palms became longer and shorter, heavier and lighter according to his thoughts.

He raised his hand and brushed lightly in the air, and the Xuanhuang ancestral energy turned into a sky. When he withdrew his hand, the sky shrank and turned back into a wisp of ancestral energy.

The ancestral energy in his heart moved slightly and turned into Mount Tai. He raised his hand and waved it, and Mount Tai turned into a long river.

Chen Shi put away his ancestral energy and praised: "The Xuanhuang ancestral energy is indeed very wonderful."

He continued to fish for the Xuan Huang ancestral energy and stored it in the Zi Tian Xian Gourd. The Xian Gourd originally contained six Xuan Tian sword energies, but unfortunately, the Xuan Tian sword energies were shattered by the scorpion's tail hook and turned into starlight and dissipated.

"Why not use the Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi to refine some sword energy?"

Chen Shi quickly caught more than ten strands of Xuanhuang ancestral qi. The strange thing was that these dozen strands of ancestral qi did not blend with each other. It was like more than ten young dragons crawling around at the bottom of the gourd.

"Strange, why can they blend together in the well, but cannot blend together after I collect them?"

Chen Shi thought for a moment, and without knowing the reason, he continued to fish for the ancestral energy. However, he saw more ancestral energy falling into the fairy gourd, but it was still crawling around like a young dragon and would not merge.

He was even more puzzled and continued fishing. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of the Wujitu from the corner of his eye and suddenly realized something. He smiled and said, "So that's how it is. The Xuanqi and Huangqi in the Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi are always in a state of chaos and confusion. Each strand of ancestral qi is different and belongs to an independent entity. Naturally, it is difficult for them to blend together. The ancestral qi in the well can blend together only because of the constraints of the Wujitu."

The Wuji diagram in the well is still very powerful.

Chen Shi fished out 108 ancestral qi in a row, then stopped, thinking: "This thing is precious, don't take too much. Otherwise, the ancestral qi in the Wuji map will be too little to suppress the great demon skeleton at the bottom of the well... Wait a minute, I have to get some for my brother Hei Guo."

He also fished for some Xuanhuang ancestral energy, and only stopped because he was really worried that the Wujitu would not be able to suppress the great demon's skeleton.

Just as he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the white bone scorpion tail that he had burned off, so he put it away as well.

The white bone scorpion tail is extremely hard. His Xuantian sword energy, which has been tempered for thousands of times, shattered it at the touch. Even the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword could not hurt it at all. If this thing can be refined into a magic weapon, it must be fierce and domineering!

He walked out of Ruizhu Daohua Palace and passed through the streets and alleys of Houde Palace. The fairies living here were carefree, leisurely and elegant. The most important thing was that there was no other man except him. Therefore, his walking attracted the attention of many girls, which was really fascinating.

"This is a land of gentleness. If I stay here and become a prince, it will be so beautiful that I will die."

Chen Shi smiled back at the fairies who were looking at him, and walked slowly through the colorful flowers.

"Such a beautiful and gentle place is built on the bones of countless demons. These fairies have no idea how dangerous the land they are standing on is."

Chen Shi was filled with emotion. "When the Three Pure Ones opened up the Earthly Immortal Realm, many incredible things must have happened. That's why countless skeletons of great demons are buried at the bottom of the well in Houde Palace. Each of the heavenly palaces guarding the Earthly Immortal Realm is not so simple."

The Four Imperial Gods all have their own heavenly palaces. The powerful Heavenly Lords such as the Thunder Lord, the Fighting Lord, and the Plague Lord also have their own heavenly palaces. The Five Elders of the Five Directions and the Nine Gods of the Divine Sky also have their own heavenly palaces.

The number of celestial palaces may be as many as the number of beings above Li Tianwang.

These heavenly palaces are scattered all over the earthly immortal world. Is it possible that something is suppressed under each of them?
Chen Shi blinked. This guess seemed outrageous, but since he had been to the world at the bottom of the well, he didn't think it was so outrageous.

“Will the conflict between the Immortal Court and the Heavenly Court destroy the foundation left by the Three Pure Ones and release the things suppressed by the gods in the Heavenly Court?” He couldn’t help but feel a little worried.

He returned to the East Palace.

The residence arranged for him by Hou Tu Huang Di Ji was the East Palace. There were many fairies in the palace. A group of fairies passed by him with flower baskets in their hands. When they saw his face, they all became shy, raised their sleeves to half cover their faces, and lowered their heads as they passed by.

"It's great to be a prince." Chen Shi sighed in his heart.

He found Hei Guo and Yu San'er, and saw that the dog and the fish were still practicing without sleep or food. Chen Shi woke them up and said, "You guys get ready. I plan to resign from the Emperor of the Earth and leave this place."

Hei Guo and Yu San'er were shocked. Yu San'er cried out, "Leave? Why leave? It's so good here. You can practice every day. You have endless spiritual energy. They don't want to eat you. You don't have to work hard to pull the boat. Why leave?"

Hei Guo nodded repeatedly. He was enjoying himself here, not thinking about the Heavenly Army Camp.

Chen Shi smiled and said, "You can collect some Xuanhuang spiritual energy. It doesn't need to be a lot, just enough for cultivation."

Yu Saner was extremely reluctant to leave. The Xuanhuang spiritual energy was a hundred times stronger than other spiritual energies. One day of his practice here was equivalent to a hundred days of practice outside!
Besides, you can't practice every day outside. You have to earn money by pulling boats and save enough money to buy some immortal spirit liquid before you can practice with peace of mind. In other words, the results of practicing here for one day may be comparable to practicing in the outside world for a year or even three to five years!

The results of his practice in the past few days were basically equivalent to twenty to thirty years of hard practice outside!
However, the path of cultivation cannot be achieved behind closed doors. It is impossible to become a Golden Immortal by practicing in seclusion all the time. One needs to polish, travel, comprehend, and improve one's horizons and knowledge before one can overcome one level after another.

Yu San'er's cultivation speed seems to be very fast now, but it is also related to his accumulation over the past few years. Only with great accumulation can he make rapid progress at this time relying on the Xuanhuang spiritual energy. When his foundation is exhausted, even if he soaks in the spiritual liquid of Xuanhuang spiritual energy, his cultivation will not improve at all.

Even though they were extremely reluctant, Hei Guo and Yu San'er had no choice but to clean up. They each collected some of the Xuan Huang spiritual energy and put it in their own realm of Tao.

Chen Shi took out another strand of Xuan Huang Zu Qi and gave it to Yu Saner, saying with a smile, "I have delayed you from leaving the boat these days, so I will give you this strand of Xuan Huang Zu Qi as a token of my apology."

Yu Saner was surprised and delighted, and quickly declined: "Sir, this treasure is too precious, I dare not accept it! Please take it back!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I have a lot more here, just keep them."

Yu Saner wanted to take it but didn't dare to, hesitantly, he said: "I have heard about the Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi. Every hundred days, there will be immortals taking a boat to the outskirts of Houde Palace to seize the Ancestral Qi. But my cultivation is low, I am not qualified to receive the Ancestral Qi. This kind of treasure is very precious. I heard that when refining treasures, if a trace of Ancestral Qi is refined into the materials, the power of the magic weapon will be much greater than before. I pulled in a customer, he once snatched a little Ancestral Qi, which he refined into the cauldron. After offering it, the Xuanhuang Ancestral Qi manifested a world in the cauldron, and the power increased greatly."

Speaking of this, he was filled with envy, and when he thought about how he had actually obtained a wisp of ancestral energy, he even began to doubt whether he was dreaming.

Chen Shi was surprised. Was the Xuanhuang ancestral energy mixed with other materials during refining?
He thought that he simply used the ancestral energy to refine the magic weapon, so he collected so much.

"Want to give some back? Never mind. There is still a lot in the well. We don't need this little bit."

Chen Shi gave Hei Guo some more Xuan Huang Zu Qi and said, "You guys go to Tianmen first and wait for me. After I bid farewell to the queen, I will go to find you."

Yu Saner said yes and left with Heiguo.

Chen Shi came to Jiuhua Yuque and asked to see Hou Tu Huang Di Qi. Hou Tu Huang Di Qi was surprised and asked, "Why are you leaving, Your Highness? Are you not used to living here? Or has someone insulted you?"

"neither."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "The Queen treated me very well. She taught me how to practice the Eight Trigrams Dao Pattern of Emperor Fuxi, and also taught me her own unique Xuanhuang Dao Pattern. I benefited a lot from it. Other people in the palace also treated me very well."

Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi smiled and said, "Then why do you want to leave?"

"It would be good to stay in Ruizhu Female Palace as the Crown Prince, but this place is too peaceful and tranquil, and the things suppressed in the Heavenly Palace are too terrifying."

Chen Shi said, "I want to help the queen relieve her worries and solve her problems, but I am afraid that if I indulge in the gentleness of the palace, I will lose my fighting spirit, so I would rather leave. After I have honed my skills and have a sharp edge, I can share some of the pressure for the queen."

Hou Tu Huang Di was moved and said, "A wisp of my avatar crossed the ocean and entered the dark sea. I was reluctant to leave the people of Xiniu Xinzhou, but as long as there was a trace of incense, I would fight for them. I never thought that this move would win the favor of Your Highness. Your Highness, return to the heaven and concentrate on practicing. I will have someone warn Li Tianwang to let him know the pros and cons, and he will not embarrass you."
