I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 928 - 346: The Daoist Venerable’s Chaotic Scene! Ji Lianxing: I’m Really Not a Fox Spirit!

Chapter 928: Chapter 346: The Daoist Venerable’s Chaotic Scene! Ji Lianxing: I’m Really Not a Fox Spirit!

Ji Hongxiu extinguished the Buddhist light and grasped the magic conch in her hand, but it was restless, continually buzzing and trembling, seemingly trying to break free.

"Hmm?"

Ji Hongxiu raised her dark eyebrows and slowly applied pressure with her jade-like fingers.

Crack—

Along with the crisp sound, spider-web-like cracks spread from the surface where her fingertips touched, ready to shatter completely the next moment!

The magic conch, originally struggling hard, suddenly quieted down as a gentle breeze swept through, the airflow vibrating in its internal passage, emitting a "woo woo" wail, sounding somewhat like a plea for mercy.

Ji Hongxiu released her grip upon seeing this, and the cracks healed accordingly, appearing rather magical.

"Originally forged from scarlet gold, with the spiral mouth inlaid with seven treasures, baptized by Buddhist power and incense from sentient beings, it has transcended the ranks of ordinary magical treasures. Although it has not yet birthed an artifact spirit, it is not too far off."

"Even if separated by thousands of miles, or within a secret realm, it can still communicate using Buddhist power, ordinary shielding methods are utterly ineffective."

Speaking of this, she glanced at Ji Lianxing and said casually, "Thanks to Master Ji’s advanced magic, using the Dharma Body to suppress the aura, otherwise Wuwan Temple would have locked onto you all long ago."

"Heh heh, just a trivial trick, hardly worth mentioning." Ji Lianxing chuckled foolishly.

In this world of Daoists, each and every one reveres the Daoist Venerable’s fame. To receive personal praise from this esteemed figure made him almost blossom with joy inside.

Chen Mo asked, "Is this thing really the Array Guide for the Eightfold Exorcism Array?"

"This item can condense Primordial Qi, transform it into Buddha Power, continuous and cyclic, indeed bearing the ability to serve as an Array Guide," Ji Hongxiu mused, "But whether it can be applied to the Eightfold Exorcism Array still requires seeing the Array Map to ascertain."

"I have the Array Map right here."

Chen Mo took out the Heavenly Derivation Array Plate and handed it to her.

Ji Hongxiu reached out to take it, examining it for a moment, her expression slightly surprised.

"Where did you acquire this thing?"

"Uh, I picked it up."

"..."

Understanding how defiant Chen Mo’s luck was, she didn’t continue to ask. She wouldn’t be surprised if he really did pick it up.

With her insight, she could naturally perceive its extraordinariness. This Array Plate, like the magic conch, cannot purely be measured by rank, it holds unique growth potential. By inputting arrays into it and supplementing enough Spiritual Marrow, it can automatically deduce the formations.

As more arrays are inputted, the computational capabilities continuously enhance.

This indicates that with sufficient resources, any array can be deciphered, its capacity virtually limitless!

"As it stands, it’s almost equivalent to the fourth-level peak of the Formation Path, subtly touching the threshold of third-grade."

The primary reason is that the Eightfold Exorcism Array is intricate and complex, and under the nourishment of such vast information, its growth accelerates significantly.

Ji Hongxiu’s eyes beamed radiantly, enveloping the Array Plate, projecting out ever-shifting illusory visions of the grand array. Concurrently, the magic conch emitted a series of hums, levitating, while pure Buddhist power streamed into it.

The array’s transformation speed suddenly accelerated, in an instant, a faint purple fine line emerged, traversing the entire grand array from north to south.

On that line, five luminous points gradually lit up, their glow flickering unpredictably, seemingly without any pattern at first glance.

"It’s really the Array Guide."

Chen Mo’s eyes slightly intensified, muttering to himself, "That purple line represents the Dragon Vein, as for those light points, they should be the array hubs... it seems my previous guess was conservative, I thought three array hubs would suffice, yet there turn out to be five?"

Ji Hongxiu praised, "One must admit, the person who laid out this formation was indeed a genius, intertwining eight grand arrays, with five ever-changing array hubs, finding the core pivot is exceedingly difficult..."

"However, with the guidance of this magic conch, coupled with the Array Plate’s day and night deduction, it will be cracked sooner or later, at most consuming more Spiritual Marrow."

Chen Mo deeply agreed.

Once the array hubs’ locations are found, the most challenging problem is solved.

What remains is the constant trial and error process, he only needs to replenish the Array Plate’s energy.

"By the way, there’s also the Dragon Qi stored within this magic conch..."

Ji Hongxiu pinched up a spell, brilliant white light surged forth, condensing into a beam that thundered against the magic conch.

"Woo—"

Under the impact of the white light, the magic conch emitted sorrowful wails.

But in front of the Daoist Venerable, it had no room for resistance, the surface’s golden paint flaked away, the engraved Sanskrit gradually faded, finally settling into utter tranquility.

Aside from lightened color, the exterior didn’t change significantly, but the feeling it gave off was entirely different, stripped of heavy incense scent, washed to essence, left only pure Buddhist power.

"I cleared away the residual Buddhist nature on it, severing ties with its former owner completely, no need to worry about future troubles." Ji Hongxiu waved her hand, sending the magic conch flying to Chen Mo, "Now just recognize it as your own, and you can extract the Dragon Qi inside."

"This is Wuwan Temple’s magical treasure, can I, who don’t practice Buddhism, recognize it as mine?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"You can," Ji Hongxiu nodded, "whether it is Buddha Power or Dao Power, they are essentially a form of energy, differing only by the user... though without the corresponding magical technique, the full might cannot be exerted, the basic functions are still usable."

"Okay."

Chen Mo nodded, grasped the magic conch, indeed encountering no resistance.

A system prompt flashed before him:

[Obtained a wondrous item: Great Brahman Celestial Dragon Golden Conch.]

[Where the golden conch sings, it is not the sound that moves, nor the wind that moves, it is the Buddhist nature of all beings that moves.]
