I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 347 The Daoist's Shura Field! Ji Lianxing: I'm really not a fox spirit!
Ji Hongxiu extinguished the Buddha's light and held the conch shell in her hand, but it was restless, constantly buzzing and vibrating, as if trying to break free.

"Ok?"

Ji Hongxiu raised her eyebrows and slowly applied force with her slender fingers.

click-

With a crisp sound, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the surface that the fingertips touched, and it was about to shatter completely in the next moment!
The conch shell, which had been struggling fiercely, suddenly fell silent. A gentle breeze blew by, and the airflow vibrated in the internal channels, emitting a mournful "whooshing" sound, which sounded almost like a plea for mercy.

Seeing this, Ji Hongxiu finally let go, and the crack healed immediately, which looked quite miraculous.

"It was cast from pure gold, with a seven-jeweled necklace inlaid at the screw-top. Having been imbued with the power of Buddha and the incense offerings of all living beings, it has transcended the level of ordinary magic treasures. Although it has not yet given birth to a spirit, it is not far off."

"Even if they are thousands of miles apart, or even in a secret realm, they can still communicate using Buddhist power. Ordinary shielding methods are completely ineffective."

At this point, she glanced at Ji Lianxing and said calmly, "It's all thanks to Sect Leader Ji's superb skills that she used her Dharma body to suppress your aura; otherwise, Wuwang Temple would have already locked onto you."

"Hehe, it's just a trivial skill, nothing to brag about." Ji Lianxing grinned foolishly.

Every Daoist cultivator in the world reveres the Dao Venerable's reputation. To receive such praise from him personally must have made them overjoyed.

Chen Mo asked, "Is this thing the array trigger for the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Array?"

“This thing can condense primordial energy and transform it into Buddhist power, which is endless and can be reincarnated repeatedly. It does indeed have the function of acting as a formation guide.” Ji Hongxiu pondered, “But whether it can be applied to the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Formation can only be determined after seeing the formation diagram.”

"I have the formation diagram here."

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

Ji Hongxiu reached out and took it, examining it closely with a slightly surprised expression.

"Where did you get this?"

"Uh, I picked it up."

"..."

Ji Hongxiu knew how incredibly lucky Chen Mo was, and that he might actually have been picked up off the street, so she didn't press him further.

With her keen eye, she could naturally see that this object was extraordinary. This array plate, like the conch shell, could not be simply measured by its grade, because it possessed unique growth potential. As long as the array was recorded into it and enough spiritual essence was added, it could automatically deduce the next step.

As more and more formations are entered, the computing power will continue to improve.

This means that as long as there are enough resources, any formation can be broken, and its capabilities have virtually no upper limit!

"Currently, it seems to be roughly equivalent to the peak of the fourth rank in array formation, and it has already faintly touched the threshold of the third rank."

"The main reason is that the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Formation is complex enough, and with such a massive amount of information being fed into it, the growth rate will be much faster."

Ji Hongxiu's eyes shone brightly, enveloping the array plate. A constantly changing phantom of the array was projected into the air. At the same time, the conch shell emitted a series of hums, rose into the air, and streams of pure Buddhist power were poured into it.

The formation changed rapidly, and in an instant, a very faint purple line appeared, running from north to south through the entire formation.

Five points of light gradually appeared on the line, their light flickering and seemingly without any discernible pattern.

"It really is a formation."

Chen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself, "That thin purple line represents the dragon vein, and those light spots should be the array eyes... It seems my previous guess was too conservative. I thought three array eyes would be enough, but I didn't expect there to be five?"

Ji Hongxiu exclaimed in admiration, "I have to admit, the person who set up this formation is truly a genius. The eight great formations are interlocked, and the five key points are constantly changing. Finding the core hub is extremely difficult..."

"However, with the guidance of this conch shell and the constant deduction of the array plate, we will be able to break it sooner or later. It's just that it will consume more spiritual essence."

Chen Moshen agreed.

Once the location of the formation's core is found, the most difficult problem has been solved.

What follows is a process of repeated trial and error; his only responsibility is to charge the array plate.

"Oh, right, and the dragon energy stored inside this conch shell..."

Ji Hongxiu formed a hand seal, and a brilliant white light surged out, condensing into a pillar of light that crashed into the conch shell.

"Woo——"

Under the impact of the white light, the conch shell emitted mournful cries.

But before the Daoist master, there was no room for resistance. The gold paint on the surface peeled off, the etched Sanskrit gradually faded, and finally it returned to complete tranquility.

Apart from the color fading slightly, its appearance hasn't changed much, but the feeling it gives is completely different. It has shed its strong incense smell, washed away all its superficiality, leaving only extremely pure Buddhist power.

“I’ve cleaned away the remaining Buddhist nature on it and completely severed the connection with the original owner, so there’s no need to worry about any future troubles.” Ji Hongxiu waved her hand, and the conch shell flew to Chen Mo’s front. “Now, as long as it recognizes itself as its master, we can extract the dragon energy inside.”

"This is a magic treasure of Wuwang Temple. I don't practice Buddhism, yet I can still recognize it as my master?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

“Of course you can.” Ji Hongxiu nodded and said, “Whether it is Buddhist power or Taoist power, it is essentially a kind of energy. The difference lies only in the person using it… Although without the corresponding method, it is impossible to unleash its full power, but the basic functions can still be used.”

"it is good."

Chen Mo nodded, reached out and grabbed the conch shell, and sure enough, it showed no signs of resistance.

A system notification flashed before my eyes:

[Obtained rare item: Great Brahma Dragon Golden Conch.]

The sound of the golden conch shell is not caused by sound or wind, but by the stirring of the Buddha-nature in all sentient beings.

Chen Mo forced a drop of blood from his fingertip, which fell onto the surface of the conch shell and quickly seeped into it, like a sponge absorbing water.

Immediately afterwards, a subtle, almost imperceptible connection arose, and without the need for others to point it out, many things became clear naturally.

"This conch shell contains some kind of power, which is constantly arising and ceasing, and repeating endlessly. Could it be the so-called law of reincarnation?"

Chen Mo remembered that the Empress once said that the essence of Wuwang Temple was [reincarnation], which had some connection with the [cause and effect] of Tian Shu Pavilion.

"Based on reincarnation and utilizing destiny, it coincides with the rise and fall of dynasties foreshadowed by the dragon's energy, no wonder it can serve as the guide for a grand formation."

With a slight thought, the conch shell emitted a series of buzzing sounds and suddenly flew into the air.

Purple energy continuously poured out from the vent, gathering in the sky to form a vast expanse of purple clouds that almost covered the entire mountaintop!
The three people and the cat looked up at this scene, and even Ji Hongxiu's eyes flashed with a hint of shock.

Although Huineng only stole a small portion of the dragon energy, that was relative to the entire dragon vein. In reality, the amount of dragon energy he obtained was far greater than all of Chen Mo's previous acquisitions combined!
"At this scale, it's already enough to influence the fate of a small country, isn't it?"

"What exactly is Wuwang Temple trying to do?!"

Ji Hongxiu's eyes flickered, her thoughts churning.

Those bald monks went to great lengths to do all this, clearly with grand ambitions; they may have been setting up the scheme from the very beginning!
The purple and gold energies within Chen Mo's body seemed to sense something, surging endlessly within his dantian. The purple clouds above slowly rotated, forming a deep vortex, and an invisible aura locked him firmly in place.

"With so much dragon energy, if I absorb it all, it should be able to advance the 'Primordial Spirit Law' to the second level, right?"

"Hmm? Wait a minute..."

Chen Mo suddenly realized something.

Before he could react, the purple cloud vortex suddenly accelerated its rotation, forming a purple tornado that was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. The eye of the tornado was directly facing him, like a funnel, pouring the dragon energy directly into his spiritual platform!

boom--

With a deafening explosion, everything suddenly went black before Chen Mo's eyes.

Their clothes were torn apart by the strong airflow, carrying their bodies into the air.

[Proficiency in "The Primordial Spirit Law" has increased; current progress: Metamorphosis (5200/10000).]

[Proficiency in "The Primordial Spirit Law" has increased; current progress: Metamorphosis (7300/10000).]

[Proficiency in "The Ancient Spiritual Constitution" increased...]

System updates kept flashing, but he could no longer see them.

An immense amount of information forcefully invaded his consciousness, causing him to completely lose awareness.

Stimulated by the dragon's aura, the true dragon's blood became exceptionally active, surging endlessly through its meridians. Its body swelled up as if inflated, and streaks of crimson totems appeared on its surface. Blood seeped from its pores, only to evaporate with its body heat, turning into a blood mist that spread outwards, staining the purple aura in the sky with a touch of scarlet.

"what is this?"

Ji Hongxiu was stunned.

When he last met Chen Mo, he had not yet obtained the blood of the true dragon, so he naturally could not have predicted that this situation would occur.

Who would have thought that in just a few days, this person's body would undergo such a dramatic change?

"It's not demonic energy, but some kind of higher-level power, and it can even resonate with dragon energy. Could it be..."

Sensing the aura that seemed to come from ancient times and the wilderness, Ji Hongxiu's expression grew increasingly solemn.

This energy is likely transforming Chen Mo's body. If he were to rashly interrupt it, there would likely be even more serious consequences. Right now, he can only rely on his own willpower to get through it.

Boom——

Even from a great distance, one can hear the muffled sound of blood and qi pumping within the body.

Chen Mo's aura was also rising continuously, and his overwhelming pressure dispersed the clouds within a hundred miles!

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, Ji Hongxiu could tell that this was no small matter and that if others found out, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble!

"The nine luminaries conceal their true forms, so that neither heaven nor earth may perceive them!"

She pressed her left thumb against her ring finger, keeping the other three fingers upright, and chanted a mantra.

The seal script character "隐" (hidden) appeared in the void, hanging above Tianlan Mountain. Its brilliant halo resembled an inverted jade bowl, enveloping Chen Mo within it.

The Hidden Origin and Heavenly Covering Mantra can not only isolate perception, but also shield heavenly secrets to a certain extent, preventing powerful beings in the divination path from spying on it.

That's all we can do for now.

Seeing Chen Mo's pained expression, Ji Hongxiu clenched her slender hands, her heart pounding in her throat.

Ji Lianxing then shed her avatar, revealing her true form, and frowned, saying, "What happened? Chen Mo... he won't be in any trouble, will he?"

"Meow..."

The cat's eyes were also full of worry.

Ji Hongxiu remained silent, her eyes fixed on Chen Mo. If anything unusual happened, she would forcibly cut off the transmission of dragon energy.

Even if it damages the foundation, it's better than losing your life!

Time passed second by second until dusk fell, and all the dragon energy was finally absorbed.

As the world returned to its clear state and the restless energy gradually calmed down, Ji Hongxiu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Chen Mo's figure slowly descended from the air. Ji Hongxiu had just taken a step when a figure flew out first.

?

Ji Lianxing held the unconscious man in her arms, feeling his burning body temperature, and her brows furrowed even more.

"It's so hot? Something's not right..."

"Could it be that he absorbed too much dragon energy and went into a qi deviation?"

Ji Hongxiu looked at the two people pressed tightly together, her eyelids twitched, and she said, "He's not wearing any clothes, isn't it inappropriate for you to hug him like this?"

Ji Lianxing didn't think much of it and casually said, "It's okay, it's not like I haven't touched it before..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Before I could react, my body suddenly froze, motionless like a sculpture.

"Daoist Master, what are you doing?" Ji Lianxing asked, her eyes filled with confusion.

Ji Hongxiu stepped forward, snatched Chen Mo from her hand, her face frosty, her eyes sharp and piercing, "You've already touched him? So what exactly is your relationship?"

∑(O_O;)
Ji Lianxing suddenly came to her senses.

Then he remembered that he had overheard Ling Ningzhi and Chen Mo's private conversation at the Chen residence... In it, they mentioned that Dao Zun had not only slept with Chen Mo, but that it was also a case of master and disciple working together, with the three of them sleeping together in the same bed!
"Oh no, how could I have forgotten about that!"

"I'm practically walking into the line of fire!"

Ji Lianxing broke out in a cold sweat.

The person in front of us is the supreme ruler of this world. If we offend him, we won't even know how we died!

Not to mention she was hoping to use the power of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion to fight against Consort Yu and rebuild her sect! Now, instead of getting closer, she's being treated as a rival in love?!
"Dao... Daoist Master, you've misunderstood! It's not what you think!" Ji Lianxing was so nervous that she couldn't speak coherently, stammering, "Chen Mo and I are just business partners, each getting what we need. He gives me silver notes, and I help him clean his gun... no, I mean, I help him raise his cat..."

"Snatching this conch shell from that monk Huineng must have involved considerable risk, right?" Ji Hongxiu said, her eyes narrowing slightly. "To avoid being discovered by Wuwang Temple, they had to remain in paper doll form, lacking even the most basic ability to protect themselves..."

"How much silver did Chen Mo give you to warrant such an expense?"

"I……"

Ji Lianxing was speechless for a moment.

After a moment's hesitation, he said in a low voice, "He saved my life, more than once. I'm just returning the favor."

Okay, okay, it's the same old story.

Back then, wasn't Ling Ningzhi saved by Chen Mo, and then completely fell for him, unable to extricate herself?

Moreover, Ling Ningzhi cultivates the Dao of Forgetfulness, and her Dao heart is as firm as a rock. Even so, she could not escape the "clutches of evil." How much better could this woman in front of her, who looks like a fox spirit, be?
Thinking of this, Ji Hongxiu's expression grew even colder.

However, considering that Chen Mo's condition was still unstable at the moment, and it was not the time to throw a tantrum.

"I need to examine his body and cannot leave for the time being. I'll trouble Sect Leader Ji to wait here for a while."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the bedroom, leaving Ji Lianxing standing there in a daze.

"Meow?"

The cat tilted its head, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

It couldn't quite understand how the little paper figure had suddenly become so big...

……

……

in the bedroom.

Chen Mo lay quietly on the bed, his eyes closed, still unconscious.

Ji Hongxiu sat beside him, gazing at him. He was flushed, his muscles bulging, and his veins were bulging out. Combined with the rough totem, he was full of impact and aggression.

"This power feels strangely familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before..."

She grabbed Chen Mo's wrist, channeled her Dao power into it, and wanted to investigate.

However, this action seemed to break the balance. Her surging blood and qi suddenly rushed back, and then she felt a tremendous force coming from her. Her body became light, and she was directly pressed onto the bed. A pair of arms held her tightly like iron clamps!

"Wait, wait a minute!" Ji Hongxiu exclaimed in surprise.

Just then, Chen Mo's groggy voice came from beside her: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. At worst, I'll just let the Daoist Master call you 'sister' from now on, okay?"

Ji Hongxiu: ? ? ?

……

……

P.S.: I accompanied my wife to a physical exam during the day, and we were a bit rushed, so I'm writing this now. It wasn't intentional that I stopped here (this time it really wasn't). Or2…
