Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

"Fellow Daoist, your cunning is truly admirable!" Shi Ji said, cupping her hands in greeting.

He took the map and examined it carefully.

The place marked on this map is called Immortal Ruins.

Rumor has it that this place is extremely mysterious, filled with many ancient restrictions and formations.

Even the outer areas of the Immortal Ruins are extremely dangerous.

Shi Ji's expression shifted constantly; this map must be a forgery.

"Young friend, have you confirmed it clearly?" the young man in black asked with a smile.

Shi Ji nodded and said, "The map is indeed genuine!"

The young man in black immediately grinned and said, "Since Brother Shiji has verified the authenticity of this map, why don't we join forces to explore that place called Thunder Ruins Immortal Island? What do you say?"

Shi Ji nodded in agreement.

"Then it's agreed. I'll contact you again after I get out!"

After saying that, he leaped away into the distance.

Shi Ji continued searching the surrounding area for traces of the ancient corpse.

It wasn't until late at night that Shi Ji returned to Lei Hai Castle.

He sat down cross-legged and began to study the locations marked on the map.

This map marks three ancient cities.

Shi Ji went first to the first ancient city, which was sealed by a giant rock and protected by a powerful magic array outside the city.

Suddenly, the entire hall began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, a monstrous surge of demonic energy erupted, revealing a towering demonic figure behind Shi Ji.

The demonic figure exuded an aura of extreme evil.

The demonic shadow raised its giant hand and slammed it down on Shi Ji.

Shi Ji hurriedly summoned the Five Emperors Dragon and Elephant Seal to counterattack.

The two collided.

The demonic figure shattered instantly.

But Shi Ji was also seriously injured.

His chest was covered with cracks.

Shi Ji coughed up a mouthful of blood and nearly fell to the ground.

"You lowly ant, your flesh and blood must be very delicious, right?"

A chilling voice echoed from the void.

A gaunt, skeletal man stepped out of the void.

The man exuded a sinister and terrifying aura.

"Who are you?" Shi Ji suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the gaunt man in the gray robe, her face full of wariness.

The gaunt man declared, "My name is Cangtian!"

"What? You are Cangtian? Didn't you already perish?" Shiji looked at the other party in shock.

"Heh heh, is the heavens so easily destroyed? My soul is trapped in a jade talisman, yet I am still alive!"

The heavens let out a strange laugh.

Shi Ji said, "It seems this is a mark on your soul!"

"Not bad! Kid, you're quite clever! Now that you know my identity, you should understand how powerful I am, right? Even within this Immortal Ruins, I'm among the top experts!"

Cangtian coldly watched Shiji.

"What do you want?" Shi Ji asked calmly.

"Submit to me and offer up your soul imprint. Rest assured, once you have offered up your soul imprint, I will grant you boundless blessings, and your destiny will be rewritten!"

"With you?" Shi Ji looked at the sky with a mocking expression.

"You're welcome to try!"

"Since that's the case, there's no need for further words, let's fight!"

Shi Ji stood up, her gaze coldly fixed on the sky.

Cangtian let out a cold shout, leaped up, and swung his right hand.

The void is torn apart.

The dense, countless ghostly claws coalesced into shape.

Each of the ghostly claws contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

Countless ghostly claws hurtled towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji unleashed her six-fold Dragon-Elephant Arm, sweeping out a punch.

A resounding clang erupted.

The six-fold dragon-elephant arm swept across a ghostly claw.

Instantly, the ghostly claw was sent flying.

But at the moment.

More demonic claws surged towards Shiji to suppress it.

Shiji continuously resisted the heavens' onslaught.

He fought fiercely against the heavens.

Shi Ji felt her own strength gradually weakening.

In contrast, look at the heavens.

Yet it seemed to possess inexhaustible power.

"What a bizarre technique, what astonishing combat power!"

Shi Ji couldn't help but be secretly surprised. This Cangtian was indeed terrifyingly strong, it was unbelievable that he had even hidden some of his strength.

The heavens roared in a low voice, and struck Shiji with a palm.

The palm print struck Shi Ji with lightning speed.

Shi Ji then unleashed both fists, slamming them fiercely into Cangtian's palm.

The moment the two collided, Shi Ji felt a sharp pain in both arms and her body flew backward uncontrollably.

The next moment, Shi Ji was struck by the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

"You little beast, do you now know how powerful I am?" Cangtian looked down at Shiji from his high position.

Shi Ji spat out the blood from her lips, slowly stood up, and cast a cold gaze toward the sky.

A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Although Shiji suffered a loss in her battle with Cangtian, she did not lose confidence.

"You don't believe I can kill you?" Cangtian squinted at Shiji.

Shi Ji said calmly, "The word 'fear' has never been in my creed! I only know that no matter how powerful you are, you are not invincible! Who will emerge victorious today is still unknown!"

The words fell.

Shi Ji soared into the sky, heading straight for the heavens, intending to engage in close combat.

"Humph! It's too much!"

The heavens scoffed and extended a single finger.

It floated lightly towards the rocky islet.

The point was raised and then expanded rapidly.

A single finger of the heavens has evolved into a gigantic finger that blots out the sky.

The power of this finger strike is unparalleled.

Its power is simply indescribable.

The giant finger pierced through the air and slashed towards Shi Ji.

Shi Ji felt as if an entire galaxy was crushing down on her.

"Overbearing and domineering!"

Shi Ji roared, unleashing a chilling and domineering aura.

An aura of dominance spread and swept across the land.

The domineering aura of Shiji clashed with the domineering aura of Cangtian.

In the end, Shi Ji's domineering aura completely destroyed Cang Tian's domineering aura.

However, Shi Ji's domineering aura was also depleted by seventy or eighty percent.

Shiji dared not delay.

He turned and ran quickly toward the gate.

Cangtian grinned maliciously, "You think you can escape like this?"

He opened his right hand and reached straight for the rock.

The heavens moved with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, he caught up with Shi Ji and reached out his hand to capture her.

"Boy, just accept your fate. Your struggles are futile. Before absolute power, all tricks are vain, and any conspiracy will be crushed!"

"Really? You really think you have the victory in your grasp? Not necessarily!"

Shi Ji said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the heavens were taken aback.

Shi Ji's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

Does this kid have a backup plan?
"Boy! I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"

Shi Ji rushed towards the stone chamber wall and slammed her fist into it.

The stone wall was immediately covered with dense cracks.

Then the entire stone wall exploded open with a deafening roar.

Shiji burst out from the crevice in the rock.

"Kid, are you looking for death?"

Seeing Shi Ji escape from the stone chamber, Cang Tian roared and chased after her, intending to intercept and kill her, but at this moment Shi Ji had already taken out the Black Dragon Sword.

Shi Ji gripped the Black Dragon Sword tightly and swung it fiercely towards the heavens. The heavens coldly snorted.

He slapped Shi Ji across the face.

A loud cracking sound erupted.

Shi Ji was slapped to the ground by Cang Tian.

"Your speed is fast, but your cultivation is far inferior. You are destined to be unable to withstand my attack, boy! Kneel down and beg for mercy now, and perhaps I will spare your life!"

Otherwise, I will skin you alive and make you wish you were dead!

Shi Ji sneered and summoned the Black Dragon Sword once more.

A sword pierces the heavens.

But Shiji discovered that Cangtian had already vanished without a trace.

Clearly, Cangtian's speed was many times faster than Shiji's.

Shi Ji's expression changed drastically.

Cangtian appeared behind Shiji and kicked at her.

Shi Ji's expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly turned around.

He was kicked away by the heavens.

Shi Ji coughed up blood, and his internal organs were severely damaged.

Shi Ji felt as if her internal organs were shattered.

After coughing violently several times, Shi Ji vomited several mouthfuls of blood.

His condition was extremely bad.

At this moment, Cangtian charged towards Shiji once again.

He leaped into the air, and a giant hand reached out to grab Shi Ji.

"My life is over!"

A bitter look appeared on Shi Ji's face; his injuries were too severe.

They were powerless to escape the attack of the heavens.

Just as Shi Ji was contemplating her impending death.

Suddenly he sensed three other dangerous auras approaching.

"Someone launched a sneak attack?"

Shi Ji was greatly alarmed.

He tried to escape quickly, but found himself unable to move.

His body was imprisoned.

The three dangerous auras drew ever closer, and it seemed they were about to kill Shi Ji.

"Damn it! How could this be such a coincidence?"

Shi Ji's face was filled with shock; he hadn't expected someone to come to his rescue at such a critical moment.

"Huh, what is this?" a cultivator suddenly exclaimed.

A jade talisman appeared in the void.

The jade talisman exuded a mysterious and ancient charm.

It was a jade talisman transformed from the immortal stone obtained by Shiji.

The immortal stone and jade talisman floated in the void, bursting out with dazzling light, which condensed into a golden chain.

The golden chain instantly wrapped tightly around Shi Ji's neck.

"It's it! It's what saved me!"

Shi Ji was overjoyed. He sensed a familiar aura, which originated from the power of the Immortal Emperor deep within the Immortal Stone Jade Talisman.

The power of the Immortal Emperor within the Immortal Stone had long since been exhausted.

But at this moment, the power of the Immortal Emperor surged into Shi Ji's body once again.

Shiji resumed her activities.

Just as Shiji regained the ability to move.

Cangtian, who was originally preparing to kill Shiji with a single blow, immediately realized what was happening.

A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"It was that thing that protected you!"

Cangtian roared in anger, retreating rapidly while summoning a golden battle bow.

He drew back the bowstring and fired several arrows in succession.

Each arrow contains destructive power.

The arrows pierced through the void and swiftly struck Shiji.

Shi Ji swung her Black Dragon Sword to deflect the arrow attack.

However, the power of these arrows was so terrifying that Shiji's defenses were destroyed like dry leaves.

Shi Ji suffered a severe blow, but he still managed to cast the "Great Curse Spell".

Shi Ji activated the "Great Curse Technique" inscribed in the Great Curse Technique.

In an instant.

Endless runes of the Great Curse enveloped the heavens, causing them to wail in agony.

He saw clusters of emerald flames fly out from the runes and bombard him.

The green flames are extremely powerful.

That was the cursed fire born from the Great Curse spell.

The flames of the curse scorched the soul of the heavens.

"Ah, what is this flame? Spare me! I will submit to you!"

The heavens cried out in anguish, pleading for mercy and hoping that Shiji would spare him.

But Shi Ji had no intention of forgiving him.

The cursed fire of the Great Curse spell continues to burn the soul of the heavens.

That celestial being soon perished under the flames of the curse.

Shi Ji's face was filled with excitement. This harvest was truly enormous; Cang Tian's storage ring was overflowing with treasures.

In addition, Cangtian's physical body is also a treasure. If it is refined into a puppet, its strength will be terrifying, and it can also absorb Cangtian's essence to improve its realm.

"Yun Heng, hurry up and collect the treasure!"

Poison Ancestor and the others shouted excitedly.

While Shiji and Cangtian were fighting fiercely, those powerful figures also made their moves to seize the treasures.

Their strength is not weak either.

However, it is still far inferior to Cangtian and Shiji, and is simply no match for them.

This group was really lucky. Because of the great battle between Cangtian and Shiji, their attention was focused on Shiji, so no one noticed them.

Each of them used their own skills to take away a powerful weapon.

Shi Ji put away Cangtian's storage ring.

Shi Ji took stock of the valuables in her storage ring and found that she had obtained a total of 40 quadrillion Chaos Crystals and 280 sacred herbs.

In addition, there are many precious materials, various elixirs and immortal stones.

The two most valuable items were: a suit of armor and a fist-sized amethyst.

The amethyst was surrounded by a purple halo.

It emitted astonishing fluctuations.

That amethyst looked like a divine egg.

"It saved me!"

Shi Ji frowned slightly and reached out his right hand to grab the purple divine egg.

A mysterious luster rippled across the surface of the purple divine egg.

Prevent the rock from touching it.

This purple divine egg is extremely unusual.

"What do you want to do?" A childish voice came from the purple divine egg.

Shi Ji's face showed surprise.

He listened intently.

"You can speak? That's truly astonishing. How could a living being be born from such a divine egg as you?"

The childish voice rang out again: "I can understand human speech! I have developed a sliver of intelligence. My name is Purple Star Divine Phoenix, a top-tier celestial bird of the Primordial World. You possess something I need! I am willing to cooperate with you!"

"Are you referring to this amethyst? It's extremely important to me! But I'm completely helpless when it comes to me!"

"Hmph, this amethyst contains boundless life essence. You only need to refine the power of the amethyst to break through to the Great Emperor realm. This is an incredible opportunity. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

"I am indeed very tempted, but I am worried that I am not capable of refining amethyst. After all, it is too extraordinary. I am afraid that if I fail to refine it, wouldn't it be a complete waste?"

"You're just being cowardly. Since you're afraid of failure, don't even try to refine it. The power of this amethyst is definitely enough to help you break through to the Great Emperor realm."

I guarantee that you will be able to break through to the Emperor realm with the energy of the amethyst! You might even have a chance to reach the Quasi-Emperor realm!

Upon hearing this, Shi Ji's face showed a look of shock.

It's truly unbelievable that the Purple Star Divine Phoenix knew so many secrets about the division of cultivator realms.

He was filled with doubt. Why did the Purple Star Divine Phoenix know so many secrets? This puzzled him.

The Purple Star Divine Phoenix is ​​a being who has lived for decades and possesses vast knowledge.
But Shiji felt...

He encountered the Purple Star Divine Phoenix.

Perhaps it is closely related to the phoenix mark within one's body.

Shi Ji speculated that this mysterious Purple Star Phoenix was likely summoned by the Phoenix Mark.

"You don't need to know who I am. You only need to understand that I will never deceive you. If you agree to cooperate with me now, I can tell you how to refine amethyst!"

"May I consider this before deciding whether to cooperate with you?" Shi Ji said.

The Purple Star Divine Phoenix said, "You are not qualified to negotiate with me!" (End of Chapter)
